CROPPING IN THE A R

The world is totally ignorant of what may be
happening on the seas. We can form no opinion
as to whether the German submarine war is be.
coming effective although British officials admit
that it is serious.
Ireland bobs up again as focus of trouble.
The National members want to force home rule
at this time, but Lloyd-George and the Obstetrics
refuse to permit the inclusion of Ulster in such a
scheme. One of the speakers says there will be
settlement or coercion.
The Scandinavian countries are in the midst of
uncertain currents. Holland and the Entente are
at odds over a report that the Dutch ships are to
be kept at home. Sweden and the Allies are also
in a poor frame of mind toward each other, al
though nothing is expected to develop.
Greece still maintains that it is being starved
to death by the Allied fleet and the British gov
eminent says the purpose of all measures is to
safeguard Sarrails army at Salonica. Nothing
will keep this purpose from being fulfilled, but
Winston Churchill warns that more than mere
words will be needed.
Austria answers Americas inquirya as to her at
titude on the sub war with an apparent effort to
keep friendly relations without turning her back
upon her ally. Rumors come over the seas of
Emperor Karl and his impatient yearning for
peace and tell how he fears German domination.
Germany is heard from through the iron hand
of Won Ludendorff, reported master of Kaiser,
Chancellor and Won HiAdenburg. Ruthless sub
marine warfare presages desperation and bitter
extremity, the western front is broken in retreat
and her armies show little motion.
Turkey retreated before the British around
Bagdad and that famous old shrine of many mil
lions is now in Entente hands, say the wires.
China has a cabinet crisis over diplomatic break
with Germany. Mexico makes no denial of the
German plan of an alliance. Russia's vast mil
lions are passive. No word is heard from Italy.
Certainly, the world is in darkness.

SPREADING OUT THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Postmaster Burleson has announced that the
president has decided to put all first, second and
third class postmasters under the civil service
by an executive order to become effective on the
first Of next month. President Taft before he
left his office placed the fourth class postmasters
within the rule and if the president sticks to his
determination all postmasters hereafter will be
appointed by competitive examinations instead of
by political preferment.
The change will be almost revolutionary in it's
effect upon local political machines throughout the
country. And as explained by the Postmaster
General, the effect will be felt speedily, for the
presidents plan is not to include present incum-
bents, but to have examinations for each office
as the terms Of incumbents expire. Congress-
men said that they doubted if a tenth of the post
masters could pass the civil service examinations,
and that the effect of the order would be an i'm
mediate downfall of political fences throughout
the country.
Congressman, in discussing the matter, are
plainly disturbed at the effect of the coming order.
Heretofore they have regarded postmasterships
as rewards for their supports, who have been re-
garded as the local political leaders of the party
in power, or at least as the local workers. In a
particular sense they were supposed to be workers
for the congressman that procured their appoint
ments. In congressional minds, that is where the
shoe pinches.
The postmaster general is prepared for clam
orous expressions Of disapproval. He points out
to alarmed congressman that in the end the
change would work to their advantage, because
they would thereafter be saved the embarrass-
ment and labor Of having to choose postmasters
from among their active constituents. Many con-
gressmen have said that the distribution of pat
ronage was their hardest task. Some have set
tied ~rivalries by the flip Of a coin. AS outlined,
the plan is for the efficiency Of the service and to
remove it from political influences.
