SIR The horse car companies have SO much
trouble with devices TO prevent their conductors from
stealing fares that wonder Of them do not try the
simple and effective system that has been In use IN
Vienna Austria several years. II Is inexpensive and
has proved satisfactory Each conductor when he starts
on trip gets the office package OF tickets fastened
together in the shape of the little memorandum pads
which business often have on their desks These
tickets are numbered in succession like railroad tickets
On taking fare the conductor pulls of the top ticket on
the pad dt the only he get at tears OF corner
and gives to the passenger At some point on the ne
lust where neither conductors passengers knowan

The New York HCr0d prints a letter from

says the idea that Germans would gladly

and tranquility is erroneous The fall of
France meant the rise Of Germany, and not

the protection of their frontiers, but as a
mighty aggressive military power, who.
having oycrthrOwn France, stood ready and
