that his old methods Of dealing
with the labor situation were
running down at the heels, and
that the Industrial Relations
Commission and other friends Of
humanity we're going to make it
too hot for us if we didn t change
our tactics. So he decided for me
to take the reins Of government
into my hands and see if I could
sorter pacify the restless and
grumbling workers.
And SO, my dear servants, you
are hereby invited to salute your
new king. I come to you with a
new industrial gospel. ye have

We have lent our flag to the devil
And he's marching on before.

Within the dear old states,

And Germany only waits.

A LOVELY INTERVIEW

The Washington correspondent
of The Fool-Killer called on Presl-
dent Wilson at the White House
last week to talk with HIM about
the burning questions Of the day
and to get his opinions on GER
tain important matters.
When [ was ushered into his
presence, the president was seat
ed alone at his desk, with fresh
bouquet in his button-hole, and
in his eyes a far-away, dreamy
expression such as [ have often
seen in the eyes of spring poets
and other young people who were
hopelessly in love and didn t
want to get out.
Not wishing to take up any
more of the president s valuable
time than was necessary, I pitch
ed right in:
"How are you getting along
with Germany, Mr.. President?'
[ asked.
"Her name isn't Germany-its
Mrs. Norman Galt-and I tell
you we are getting along just,
fine was the president s earnest
reply.
Seeing that his mind was not
on Germany and the war, I made
another effort to lead him out by
saying:
ct notice in the papers that
there was a very important en-
gagement on the western battle
front a few days ago. Do you
think it means the turning point
of the war, as some have claim
ed?"
The president lifted his eyes
from a photograph on his desk
and gazed dreamily out of the
window as he replied:
eyes, I should say it was an
important engagement.-for hel
and me, at least. We have beer
engaged for nearly a month
now.'
EDO you think it likely thai
the war will be over any time
soon, Mr.. President 7 empha
sized the word "war' to get hi:

replied, bringing his eyes back t.
) the photograph on the desk.
"Have you sent off that not
to England yet, about holding
up and delaying our commerce OF
the high seas?' I next inquired
"Oh, you see I don't have t.
send notes to Mrs. Calf an,
more," he replied sweetly. "

Ny old dad has been toler-

LONDON, Eng, May 3.-Two Ger
man torpedo boats were run down and
sunk by squadron Of four British
destroyers In the North Sea on Sat
urday, according to . report given out
at the Admiralty last night.
The two torpedo boats were sighted
by four destroyers Of the c class
which have . speed Of 80 knots, and
z long chase ensued.
Following the action, the British
picked up as survivors nearly all the
members Of the torpedo boat crews,
46 in all, including two tofficers.
These have been landed in England
as prisoners.
Included in the admiralty's official
statement last night IS a list Of the
casualties sustained by the fleet in
the operations In the Dardanelles to
cover the landing Of the troops from
the British and French transports.
This list makes the recent despatch.
es from constantinopie, reporting va.
rious serious damages to the British
hombarding fleet, appear ridiculous.
: The tadmiralty's report covers the
operations during the six days in
which the landing was effected. The
fleet losses during ;hese six days
were 26 men killed and So wounded.

bus has attained its greatest prominence, the
fact was brought out in a hearing before Par
Lament that whereas the cost of maintaining a
certain road surface prior to the advent Of the
motor bus was 6.483 d. per square yard, it was
increased to 13,403 d. after one year of bus
traffic, or slightly over 100 per cent. In this
case it was the public-or in other words the
Middlesex County Council-appearing in its
own behalf to demand relief from a new burden
of taxes imposed by the bus traffic.
The logical conclusion from the committee s
report is that if the public continues to support
the jitney, and thereby weakens the street rail
ways and ultimately put them out of business,
they must expect a zone system of fares, be-
cause the small jitney cannot operate over a
much longer route than three miles at a profit.
The American cities have strongly fought the
zone system on account of the destruction of
property value and the congestion of popula-
ton. %#r
On the financial side the committee s investi-
CATION showed that municipalities or counties
which receive percentage of the income Of
must inevitably suffer from the
operation of the jitney, which has greatly de-
creased the earnings of the street -carlines.
The report as a whole emphasizes that in the
long run jtneys are an economic burden upon
the community out of proportion to their pos
sible service .z-..-. .-..- 49,.
