MEN ARE TOO FEW;
 FRENCH GIRLS FEAR
 HUSBAND SHORTAGE

PARIS, May 1S.. ;Special)-Mar- rlage is a very serious question in France. and the thought that after the war there will not be enough husbands to 80 around is agitating the breasts of the French girls. One of them, Mile. Marie Laparcerie, has written booklet of 70 pages. in which she discusses the cruel enig- ma of what to do and gives wise counsels on the delicate social sub- ject.
 "The number of eligIbles will be very restricted after the war" she says. Tt will be necessary then, above everything, to resolve to be among the selected ones. Let this idea, Je veus me marion. q want to marry) be always present with you.
 But the author does not take into consideration that the war itself is changing the whole position and outlook of her sex. For one thing 1t has forced unmarried and married women into occupations and sltua- tions formerly filled exclusively by men, and from which 1t will be diff ficult for the men to dislodge when peace comes.
 It has also taught women that they can make living for them selves, and that marriage is not the only vocation open to O woman.
 There is another and more subtle way in winch the war has entered into this question of marriage, and this may have wide.reaching effects on the traditional French bargain ing before choosing.
 Girls, before the war, were guard ed like vestals and hardly ever got a chance to meet @ young man, un- less in the presence of mother or other dragon. Now the French mai den has gone out in her thousands as nurses. hospital help, worker for refugees or wounded. or into some other of the many activities created by the war.
 She finds herself for the first time at liberty; she meets men, she gets to know them, she. she herself, en- courages or frowns on their advanc- es; she does not hide herself behind her mothers petticoats and wait to have her life and future companion chosen for her.

 "'Those fleets did not appear by accident When the danger of Brit ish interference became apparent. the State Department carefully cam vassed neutral governments in search of Q possibly ally against Great Bri- tain. Finally Russia agreed to send fleets to both New York and San Francisco harbors as warning to Great Britain that any act unfriendly Go the Northern Union would be com strued as unfriendly to Russia. In return, the United States agreed to bear secretly the expense of the mobilization and movements of the fleet
 Russla Expected Reward .
 Shortly after this. the war ter minated rather abruptly. and, of course without any open break between the United States and Great Britain. The United States had not paid for the mobilization of the Russian fleet there were no large contingent funds from which SO large amount of mon- ey could be drawn, and it would have been obviously impossible to obtain by the money from Congress publicly by an appropriation meas ure.
 "sun. Russia had fulfilled her part of the secret agreement and looked to Secretary Seward to do his share. The good faith of the Gov ernment of the United States was involved. Finally Seward hit upon the expedlent of resuming the nego- taitions for the purchase of Alaska and including In this purchase price the nearly S6OOO.OOO owing for the Russian naval mobilization. The bill carrying this huge appropriation was flashed through Congress only o few of the leaders directly concerned be- ing let into the secret and the re- demption of the pledge virtually drove Seward into private life, so severe was the criticism which re- suited. But the purchase price Of Alaska included the cost to this government of preventing England from vidtually entering the war as an ally of the Southern Confederacy"
 That story was told me nearly 10 years ago." continued Mir. Glow er land since then I have had op- portunity to check the matter over. Those are the facts, and they have been verified from a number of ab- solutely trustworthy sources among them @ daughter of James c. Blaine, who. after I had told her the story, said that her father had given 1t to her under an injunction of secrecy. Of course. the story was not given to me in confidence, nor was 1t told Gen. Simpson in confidence so there is no reason why l should not tell you.
 Tt goes to show that as far as the public knowledge of state sec rets carries. There are more things in heaven and earth. Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy "

UNCLE SAM READY
 TO BEGIN CONTRACT
 WITH ALASKA MAN

SEATTLE, May 21-The desire of the postofflce to secure satlsfac tory bond on the bid of Earl l By CTS, of Iditarod, Alaska, for aerial mail service between Seward and Iditarod, means that the government will award the contract to MT. By CTS if there is any practicable way of doing 1t, says the Seattle Times in an article from it's Washington correspondent. The postoffice de- partment is very greatly in earnest about it. and if Byers can give a bond, he will be given the contract quicker than cat can wink It's eye.
 The postmaster general has been informed that surety companies are quite willing to write such bonds. and all Mr. Byers will have to do # he means business, and has the necessary equipment. is to get In touch with them at Seattle or else where. A wireless message of re- cent date from the postmaster gen. eral to Byers, in addition to asking about the bond, wanted to know what equipment he proposes using and when the service could start if the contract was awarded.
 Desiring to give every encourage ment to the development of the aero plane as a carrier of mails, careful consideration has been given to the financial and service questions raised by the bid Mir. Byers proposes to furnish aeroplane service twice week all the year for 1000 pounds of mail per trip at the rate Of S49.5OO @ year. 1t Is found this would effect important economies both of money and tirae in the Alaskan mail service. There would be an estimated net saving amount ing to sS4,55S year and the mails from the United States to Nome, Alaska, district would be advanced from twenty to twenty-one days.
 Can Serve North
 With aeroplane service in opers- tion between Seward and Iditarod, this route would be made the trunk line over which malls for points in Alaska north of Iditarod would be served. In winter. this would re- lieve the expensive, difficult and roundabout service from Cordova to Fairbanks. to Panama, to Unalakleet, to Solomon and Nome, of a consid- erable burden of the mail now car ried. The winter mall of the Nome district is carried from Chitina via Fairbanks to Panama by horse-drawn wagon or sled. total distance of 1,5OO miles. The time of transit of mail in winter from Cordova by Fairbanks to Nome is about thirty nine days.
 With the Seward-Iditarod aeroplane route in operation, the cost of oper- atlng the present service from Cor dova to Panama would be much re- duced, and the present dog sled routes from Panama to St. Michael, and from Holy Cross to Iditarod, would be discontinued. New routes would be put in running order from Iditarod by way of Kaltag to the Nome district, The time in winter from Seward Co Iditarod by aero plane and from Iditarod to Kaltag and Nome would be eighteen days. The present cost of this Alaskan service now aggregates S1OO.466 a year It is estimated that the new service, with its most important link consisting of the aeroplane route, would cost $71,oOO year.

Frank /. Mayes.

Newspapers all over Florida have
observed December 18th, the birthday
Of the late Colonel Frank L. Mayes,
by laudatory editorials dedicated to
the memory of that distinguished jour
nalist and splendid man.
1t was the good fortune of the edi-
tor of the Herald to have known Mr..
Mayes as a warm personal friend for
many years previous to his unIfmeIy
death. 'Untimely" is not the word
to use, and if Colonel Mayes were to
read proof on this editorial he would
doubtless strike out the word for the
reason that nothing in the nature Of a
providential dispensation ever comes
out of time; but the brethren of the
press who knew and loved him feel
that his death was untimely, hence we
shall let it stand.
In every profession there are men
who stand out in bold relief against
the dull, scarcely distinguishabIe back
ground of mediocrity attained by the
general run of men engaged in the
same profession. Such were Alexan-

PROPOSED PENNY POSTAGE.

However desirable a One-cent letter rate
is, it should not be established at the ex-
pense of something else.
At this time, especially, when paper is
two or three hundred per cent up, the in
Justice of the proposal, in the annual APP
preparation bill, to reduce the postage on
hrst-class matter by raising the rates on
news papers, magazines, ETC., is self
evident.
Would it not be discrimination, indeed,
for a government whose parcels post is
cheapening the transportation of merchan-
disc, to charge periodicals from one to six
cents a pound more to disseminate pub
licity?
Newspapers are little more than mer-
chandise. Printers ink tells a. little more
than news
The political, moral and economic educa-
ton of an hundred million people has as
much national Importance as defense itself
Suppose, too, newspapers declined to print
the crop, mercantile and other data which
the government is at such pains to collect,
the people would be in very bad way,
indeed, so very bad that the government
would be forced to finance the publicity in
other ways. And now it is proposed to
charge the periodicals extra for delivering
the thousands of columns they are SO happy
to give away, in order that less public
spirited enterprises may send their bills
cheaper.
1t is unthinkable that the measure will
pass, but the bare proposition is enough to
fill the cup of injustice to overhowing.
Secretary Burleson, who has put the post
office on paying basis, may be able to
figure out some more short cuts to eff
cheney and give us a one-cent letter postage;
or the government may divert some
'porks," such as the public buildings fund,
at present before congress, by which $685.
100000 are to be sprinkled among such
towns as Eminence, Falmouth, Pikeville, of
Kentucky, which, with a population of
1874, 1,180, 1880, respectively, will get
public buildings costing $4,000, $4,000,
and $4,000; and Hazard, KY, which, with
537 souls, yearly postal receipts aggregat-
ing less than $1,000 and a present post
office rental of $3.50 year, is to get a
$4,000 postoffice.
Because of its many obligations to the
press of the country, the government really
owes newspapers and periodicals generally
subsidy-but let that pass

GOVERNMENT RADIO OWNERSHIP

Stronger government control of radio
stations is contemplated in an administra-
ton bill, now in course of preparation, pro-
viding for the purchase, by the federal gov
eminent, of all stations communicating
with ships at sea, if the present owners are
willing to sell; or in the event that they are
not, that the holding companies must be at
least two-thirds American.
Though mild in form, this is neverthe-
less a government ownership measure
mild in that the sale of the stations to the
government is not yet obligatory; and the
bill throws an interesting sidelight on the
national mind at a time when so many
propositions are being made, looking
towards the liberalization of the railroads
and other public utilities
If the law passes, the foreign wireless
stations of Sayville and Tuckerton will
have to be sold, either to the government,
or their ownership will have to be at least
two-thirds American.
