What Neutrality Ought to
Mean

To the Editor of the BOtS0n JourndI.-
My attention has been called to letter
in the Mail Bag of Nov. IS, signed by r.
e. Robbins, commenting upon the one
dated November 10, written by the und-
ersigned in answer to letter appearing
in previous issue. Upon reading the
communication signed as above l find
myself wondering why a letter "arraign-
ing" foreign government is "vtupera-
tion," etc, while one 'arraigning'' our
own government and president is not?
AS the aforenamed writer has informed
the Mail Bag readers that the "assailant
betrays wide reading in the scurrilous
and libelous literature, in the press and
in book form by one side, etc., the under.
signed begs to be excused from stating
here just what she has read and had ac-
cess to the past '15 months and longer.
As she has been too busy to find time for
''wide reading of any kind, the list is a
short one. The Boston Journal, the one
daily read; State weekly newspaper,
local weekly newspaper devoted to local
interests, which rarely alludes to the
war; a New York illustrated religious
weekly, which prints a letter by A.
Arnoux each week, which is about the
extent of the war reading therein, and
which is extreme "pacifist" in its views
editorially; the Sunday School Times, a
few books of fiction written long before
this war began and the Bible complete
the list which the writer has had no rea.
son-until now-to regard as 'sscurrilous
or libelous."
From the two newspapers aforemen-
toned she has read the accounts of the
sinking of the Lusitania and other like
"heroic" deeds performed by Germany
on the sea and of the Zeppelin raids,
whereby men, women and children were
killed and manned for no military advan-
tage or purpose whatever, that the world
can see.
These facts are the common knowledge
of the world and we have not had to 90
to "scurrilous" books or papers to learn
them. The people of the United States
would have entered the most solemn pro-
test against them if they had been done
by our own government; why then should
we not speak against them when they are
done by another government?
The writer of this has no hatred for
Germany nor of any other country, not
even for England and does not believe |
in carrying grudge against any country |
or individual, but her neutrality is not of |
the kind that closes ones eyes so tightly |
that they cannot see deeds that literally |
'reach to the Skies" nor that max es one
ashamed of the moral attitude of our
government as to the munitions of war;
question, as compared with that of Ger
many, which, briefly stated, seems to be.
that while an abundance of arms, NUM-
lions of war and everything pertaining
thereto is essential to the well-being and
safety of the German empire and its al
lies, their possession or use by the other
countries of the earth is extremely sim
full.
Our own government, on the other
hand, has steadily maintained that IL
cannot fairly and justly deny to other
countries rights which it claims and uses
for itself-of which one of the most i'm
portant is the right to defend itself under
attack. CAROLYN Novrs

Harley-Davidsons in
Rural Mail Service

"The action of congress in extend.
ing as far as practicable to the entire
rural population the advantages of
rural mail service means a great deal
not only to people in the country but
residents of the cities az well." says
Scott & Piper, local Harley Davidson
representatives.
Berries and fish are two commodi-
ties which are being sent parcel post in
increasing quantities and are an index
of what the X. F. D. parcel post can
do to bring the country and the cities
closer together. With the extension of
rural routes to reach practically all
rural residents, the efficiency of Uncle
Sans mail department will be in
creased greatly and-even more i'm
portant-t there should be considerable
lowering of the cost of living.
"Cold storage men probably will not
be very enthusiastic over the announce
ment that congress has extended the
usefulness of the s. F. d. service but
outside Of the owners of the cold stor
age warehouses where farm produce
has been held for higher prices the an
nOuncement should receive warm
welcome. 1t has been demonstrated
that even eggs can be shipped through
the mails. Increasing the scope of the
rural mail service will result not only
in an increase of shipments Of fresh
eggs by parcel post but of more and
more city residents atailing them
selves of other country products at
country prices.
"The Hardwick amendment which
has passed both houses of congress
provides THAT rural mail delivery shall
be extended so as to serve, as nearly
as practicable, the entire rural popula-
tion of the United States. That moth
ing herein shall be construed and no
order shall be issued to prevent the use
of motor vehicles on horse drawn
routes" This is big victory for
motorcycles. If the carrier is willing
to invest in motor equipment so that
he can carry his route quickly, Uncle
Sam will not say him nay.
newspapers, magazines and other
incoming mail will now be received
promptly by the farmer. He will re-
ceive news of current events while 1t
is fresh and can use the mails to get
his produce to market quickly. The
passing of the amended postal bill by
congress is of far reaching effect
the United States.'

Empowered with the vote to strike if
their demands FOR an eight hour day
