HE RENDERS ANNUAL REPORT
WAR HAS COST POSTAL SERVICE TWEN1YOkE MILLION, BUT ECONOMIES OF DEPARTMENT HAVE REDUCED DEFICIT TO ELEVEN MILLION.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec F. A surprise was sprung In local po- litlcal circles yesterday with tho reading of the annual report of Al! bert $. Burleson. postmaster general of the United States. The report contained nothing of a sensational nature, but was surprising in that 1t contained recommendations for government ownership of a number of important public utilities, among them being the telephone and tele- graph lines now privately owned
 The report. however dealt chiefly with postal affairs. It contained the recommendation that the parcel post weight limit be increased. the reason given being that half of thr postal business of the United States during the past year was done un. der parcel post regulations. and the postmaster general feels that such good business should be encouraged by the government
 The annual report of the DOS master general also states that the war in Europe has cost the postal department of the United States the enormous sum of $21 ,00O, 900. It also states, however, that the economies practiced In other branch es of the service by the postoffice department under the administra. tion of Postmaster General Burle- son have reduced what would other wise prove to be an enormous de- ficit in the earnings of the postal department of the government to $11 000, 900.
 The $ll,OOO,OOO mentioned in the report Is the cost of maintaining the postal service to the govern ment, over and above the receipts from all of the postotfices of the United States

How Jews Stand
 On Neutrality

LONDON. Dec 12-Dr Israel Zangwill, the noted Jewish educator, gave a lecture here last night, his subject being How Jews Stand on Neutrality" The lecture was large ly attended and the prominence of some of those who heard the noted lecturer can be attested to by the fact that Lord Cecil Chesterton in- terrupted the speaker once taking exception to his remarks.
 During the course of his remarks the lecturer dwelt at great length on the attitude of Russia toward the Hebrew race. He said that If Russia would emancipate instead of persecute the Jews, such an at- titude would be powerful influ- ence with the neutral nations of Europe in favor of the allies. He gave as his reason the fact that Jews hold many responsible govern ment positions in all of the nations of Europe, be they neutral or bel ligerent
 He also pointed out the case of r""oh h'ff. tho Now York banker. who refused to join in the loan made by financiers of the United States Io NiiC 0lI4Co HC ICdSOu, uc Sdlu was that England would not guar antee that some of the money would not be used by Russia.
