COURTESY.

When the New Haven road posts in its offices and stations a placard set ting forth the value of courtesy it di- rects attention to a virtue which should be possessed by every individ ual and therefore exist throughout ev- cry great corporation or system. It makes for better relations between those who must work together, and between the representatives of a big or little corporation and those with whom they do business it should characterize all dealings.
 Just how much the posting of such cards will result in accomplishing is problematical but if it does anything at all it will be well worth the time and trouble expended. There isn't a minute of the day when some em- ploye of the great road does not have tho opportunity to put it into prac- tice. Courtesy like safety first can be well kept in the forefront of a list of things which should not be at tempted but done. It is easy to tell how much can be accomplished through the courteous reply, through the courteous transaction of business and through courteous assistance by simply putting them into practice. The difference is marked when compared with the results of discourtesy, the sharp and unsatisfactory answer and inattention to what may seem little and unnecessary things but which by their very lack of politeness make a lasting adverse impression.
 There is always an opportunity for the exercise. of courtesy. Not only will it like a soft answer turneth away wrath butt it is something which no railroad system can afford to be with out. The New Haven has given its employees an excellent reminder.

Self Denial in England.

What is real self-denial? A corre- spondent claims to have witnessed an instance of the true spirit of it this week. It was in a bus going to Liver stairs collecting fares. A boy had only just jumped on when Salvation Army officer brought his little box around" asking for just little some thing toward the fund. The boy was the first to put a copper in the box and as he evidently had no more money he simply got off the bus again and walked.-London Chronicle.

With that source cut off we cannot afford to sit idly by and let those countries wait for such a time as will permit Europe to resume it's former position as provider. It is possible and natural that the United States industries should be finding a larger outlet in that direction but it cannot be left to an individual.

MUST BE SETTLED ON MERITS.

The statements which are heinz made relative to the postoffice appro- priation bill and the causes for it's de-
 feat make it evident that this is bound to be one of the great questions before the next congress.
 For a long time there has been an
 effort made to adjust the question of
 railway mail pay. 1t being recognized that roads were not receiving fair treatment by the continuance of the rates which were in existence before the parcel post went into effect, De- spite the investigation and report of a special commission only the change in the method of determining payment, and not the rates suggested were rec
 commended by the postofffce depart
 ment. Despite this, however, the post
 master general puts forth the charge that it was the railroads and a rail- road lobby which blocked the bill, and it is but natural that it calls forth strong denials from members of the committee on postoffices and post
 roads.
 The fact is that the department clashed with the commission which had devised the way of fairly adjust
 ing the contention and inasmuch as it
 concerned a matter of sixty million
 dollars 1t was not matter which should have been rushed through con-
 gress at the last minute It deserved to be thoroughly debated with the set ting forth of all arguments fully and clearly.
 The time of the session had been so wasted in the endeavor to push through the ship purchase bill that when it came time to consider this important financial problem it was impossible to do it justice and it went by the board. It still remains to be settled on it's merits.

THE CAPTURE OF PRzEMYsL,

Petrograd has reason for it's elation over the fall of Przemysl. The sur render of this important fortress with which goes control of all GaNcia was accomplished after a long siege in which starvation played its part In comparison with the capture of Ant werp it required long time but it did not experience the handicaps of that fortress or the opposition. The Rus sians lacked the heavy artillery with which to reduce the Notifications and were obliged to resort to the old time methods of starving them out. which proved successful in the end although once abandoned. It offsets such re- verses as the Russians have experi- enced at other points and demon strates that their offensive cannot be disregarded.
 A good sized force was taken pris- oners in the equalization but the two greatest effects of the fall are the control of that territory with its main line of railroad leading to Cracow, and the release of the 100, 900 or more Russian troops which have been en- gagged In the operations at that point for service elsewhere. Just what this will lead to will develop in time but whether they are directed against Cracow, sent through the passes into Hungary or turned about to aid those forces which have been experiencing reverses in Bukowina, they mean an additional army which can be expect ed to be of much value in whichever direction they are sent.
 It may be as Vienna dispatch de- clares that such a possibility as the surrender of the stronghold had been reckoned on for long time. but at a distance it can hardly be conceived that it has mo influence upon the general situation"

Prosecuting officials throughout the state are showing commendable per- sistency in locating and pressing charges against men who desert their wives and families, shifting the re- sponsibility for their support upon the community. Judges are to be commended upon the manner in which they are cooperating by imposing sentences that should prove to be forci- ble object lessons. Time and money expended in this work is well used The only thing to be regretted is that more money is not available to enable the work of hunting down the deserters upon a more extensive scale. Viewed merely from a mercenary standpoint the work is along the lines of economy. Manchester Herald.

One Subdued Six,

The story of an aviator who came back to the Russian lines with an Austrian prisoner strapped to the tail frame of his aeroplane is told in a dispatch from the front in Poland.
 "The airman, Terentic Paschaloff, CTS in the rear of General Ivanoff's s army in his 150 horsepower machine, ascended from the aviation headquart- accompanied by his mechanic. The mechanic carried a small gun and a number of bombs.
 Owing to motor trouble, Paschaloff had to descend two miles behind the Austrian lines. While the mechanic was repairing the motor, six Austri- an approached. Paschaloff turned his one pounder on them and fired one shrapne1 shell, which exploded accurately and felled five men. The sixth surrendered.
 Then the problem came-what would he do with his prisoner? Pas chaloff decided to abandon his stock of bombs, and tie his prisoner to the tail-frame of his machine. Thus burdened the aeroplane rose and flew over the Austrian lines amid a storm of bullets, regaining the Russian lines without damage.

Building progress Is always proof of prosperous conditions, despite the un- pleasant experiences of some who, or too small capital, undertake to finance great building plans. In New England, there never has been @ time, no matter how dark the outlook, when there were too many homes, or too many factory buildings for the demands of business builders and their employees. Though the returns may be small in some seasons, the return of the tide has never failed to force further expansion in building odations.-Waterbury Republican.

Scott AbandOnS Effort
to Stop Fighting

Ell Paso. Tex, Aug. 27.-Eforts by
the United States, through the media
ton of General Hugh l.. Scott, chief of
staff Of the army, to get General Villa
to stop the disorders in his territory
apparently have been abandoned. Cen
eral Scott left here this afternoon for
Washington. Villa is at Torreon, and
fighting is in progress all around Tor
reon.
General Scott spent three weeks here
trying to have conditions in Villa ter
ritory improved. He held one confer,
ence with Villa, which was declared
satisfactory. Soon after Villa left for
the south and hostilities were resumed.
General Scott would not say to-day why
he was returning to the East or what
his next move would be.
Refusal of the Carranza commander
General Obregon, to suspend hostllltles
pending peace negotiations is given by
Villa as a reason for the continued Tight
ing. While he was negotiating with
Villa, General Scott represented the
State Department and not the army,
and il is believed the State Department
has abandoned hope of doing more than
to obtain Villas Endorsement of the
AB c peace plan. Villa gave that to
General Scott.

Stroke for Recognition.
lFrom The Tribune Bur-su.l

Washington, Aug. 27.-The State De-
partment has not determined whether
any reply will be sent TO Carranza In
answer 10 his question as TO the au-
thority for the Pan-American appeal
addressed 10 the Mexican leaders. Car
rama asked through Consul Silliman
if the appeal was issued by authority
of the seven governments involved, or
was merely the personal expression OF
the signers themselves 1t is possible
that another meeting of the conference
will be called to discuss the question.
In any case. there is a decided feel
ing among critics of the sdministra-
TONS policy that Csrranza has the
United States in a delicate position.
The Pan-American appeal was intended
purely as a personal and friendly call
for patriotic action by the Mexican
leaders. and while the American sd-
ministration and the governments Of
the six Latin-American countries ap-
proved it. it had no official character.
The reply to Carrsnza that it was
unofficial therefore would be the only
course open 10 the conferrees. but this
would imply a weakness that was stu
diously avoided in the semi-officiel tone
of the original Communication. Not to
reply would. on the other, hand. give
Carranza an excellent excuse for re-
iecting the suggestion for peace con-
ference.
Three Courses Open.
Just what the Pan-Americans can do
is hard to see. If it becomes necessary
to adopt other means for solving the
Mexican problem. it is believed that
only three courses are open-to recog-
nize Carrarza, TO recognize some other
provisional President hostile to him or
10 declare an embargo on arms to put
an end to the fighting.
To Law an embargo on arms at TINS
time would be simply another way Of
placing Carranza in absolute power.
for while his ammunition factory can
lot supply enough material tor his
armies at present, it would be sum
