carriers to carry so much mail
The old custom has been for the
parcel post carriers 10 take out by
wagon some of the bulkier packages of

ranged for that purpose. From these
boxes the regular carriers picked up
the mail after they had delivered part
of their routes. and carried it before
returning 10 the postoffice. a carrier
was not able to take all of the mail on
one trip and therefore time was saved,

duplicate the British brand of de-
mocracy.
The German people believe they
owe their existence as a nation to the
unprecedented capacity for organiZa-
ton and discipline they have deveN
oped during the past year. The seel-
ing has developed that British democ-
racy is incapable of reaching to the
heights attained by Germany, and II
the Germans had been governed ac-

would now be crushed and at the
mercy of their foes The world said

Germany would emerge from the con-

now laughing at that prediction. They
declare the prophesy must be read
backward, and democracy will have
to Germanize ITSELF If 1t Is to keep
pace with Germany's progress in the
future.
Another early prophesy of Ger
many's enemies which Is now being

states have shown no jealousy of the

their wonderful work in hunting down

There has been good deal OF crttf-
cism of the British navy because
early in the war it failed to catch the
German East Coast raiders, and in
more recent months. adequately to
protect merchant shipping against
submarine attacks. But it should be
borne in mind that the one big Job of
the admiralty is to see. that the grand
fleet is kept intact and ready to meet
the German fleet when it comes out
in a body-if it ever does.
The year did not pass without its
admiralty scandal-an ugly blot on an
otherwise creditable page. In a pique
Admiral Lord Fisher deserted his post
as first sea lord. Rather than disrupt
the navy-as he feared-Churchill
agreed to step out. The prime minis
ter picked Balfour as his successor;
but Fisher didn't like Balfour any
more than he did Churchill and re-
fused to serve under him. What AS
quith had been willing to overlook as
temperament, he couldn't forgive when
it became INSTRUMENTATION. So Fisher
was replaced by Admiral Sir Henry
Jackson.
