MORE PAY FOR MAIL MEN

n CTIoN of Congress on the pro-
"A posed to 10 per cent. increases
of salary for postal clerks and
letter carriers will be watched with
interest by many people who feel that
this class of public employees is under
paid. If not actually overworked.
The Democrats have been lavish
with their expenditures for salaries,
they having increased the government
payroll by millions of dollars for that
purpose during the past few years.
But the postal service has received no
benefit. The only attention given pos
tai employees has been to increase their
hours and pile on more work.
The parcel post has made the duties
of the postal clerk arduous in the ex-
treme. Living costs have gone up, but
his pay has not. The same is true of
the mail carrier. If anybody in the
employ of the United States deserves
an increase of salary it is the postal
clerk and the carrier.

THE REAL DOGS OF THE WAR
Alaskan Teams Aid French Military Forces Greatly
in the Vosges Campaigns

MYTH the French Armies in the
Wv Vosges. - With the return of
heavy snow in the Nosges Noun
tains, Alaskan dog teams to-day are
Yylng with the automobile drivers of
the American Ambulance Corps and
the members of the Norwegian Red
Cross Ski Corps for the honor of bring
ing in the greatest number of wounded
The Alaskan sled dogs constitute the
latest war material being supplied
from America to France. Although
the Allies, through their supreme mas
terry of the seas, are able to gather war
supplies in any and all ports of the
world, the Alaskan dogs are conceded
the honor of coming from the most
distant point and over the greatest
distance.
Dogs in Service, 1909
The first shipment of sled dogs
brought to the Vosges from Alaska
numbered about five hundred. These
have bred and multiplied so rapidly
that France now has at her disposal
more than one thousand dogs, with
sleds and material necessary for per-
forming an incredible amount of trans
port service in the snow-clad attitudes
of the Nosges.
1t is principally in the Vosges that
the members of the American Ambu-
lance Corps have been assigned to
duty. Their light, speedy cars not only
enable them to scale all the peaks on
which roads have been built, but even
to leave the roads themselves in the
direction of first line trenches for the
purpose of picking up the wounded.
In these Alpine regions, however
there are hundreds of places which
even the light American cars with
their absolutely fearless collegian driv-
ers cannot reach and it is in these dis

been wonderful. She can do all her
homework now and before she could
scarcely get around at all. She is re-

Buying Small Bonds Like Bunches Of Radish,

Mr.. Jones, manufacturer, steps out of his
office and within the radius of few blocks can
buy anything from an automobile to a package OF
pins. Mrs. Smith, hard working widow, goes
downtown and within a half hour can buy any
thing from salt herring to heavy winter wrap.
Both receive efficient and courteous service
wherever they shop.
Every convenience imaginable to make shop
ping easy for both of them exists. Merchants
keep both Mrs. Smith and Mr.. Jones in view
when they lay in their stock. They want the
patronage of both buyers.
Mr.. Jones has $4,000 to invest in real estate,
bonds or other securities. He telephones to a
banker or broker and they make the investment
for MIR. Jones with the same painstaking courtesy
that merchants sell him lawn mower or piece
of cheese. He experiences no trouble in making
the investment.
Mrs. Smith has saved $40. She wants to re-
move the money beyond any temptation to spend
! it. A friend suggests that she deposit the $40
! in savings bank, but Mrs. Smith fears she will
soon withdraw it to buy new summer dress.
She asks banker about bond He hands her
bunch of circulars which she does not under
stand. She goes to an investment company, but
finds that sums as small as $40 are not handled.

perfected whereby he can make an investment of

BERLIN DEFENDS
SUBMARINE WAR
AS RETALIATION
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Via Sayville wireless, Feb.
s.-Germany's barred zone" plan is
simply using against England the
same weapon OF blockade that Eng.
land has established against Germany.
according to statement issued today
by the official press agency in quota
lions from German newspapers" The
statement follows:
Discussion of whether the German
declaration of barred zone means a
blockade and whether such a blockade
is efficient is discussed in German
newspapers thus:
This consideration is a complete
misunderstanding of the character of
the German declaration of barred
zone and therefore must be warned
against The declaration of barred
zone and blockade have only one thing
in common and that is the object to
cut the enemy off from sea traffic.
Using the Same Weapon.
Exactly as England attempted to
attain this object against Germany
not by blockade. but by the creation
Of danger zones for shipping-in the
same way Germany means to use the
same weapon against England in order
to cut her off from sea traffic.
"On Nov. 8, 1914, England declared
the North sea war zone and with
this declaration declared that the en-
tire North. sea was barred for peaceful
trade; that peaceful ships were immed-
lately exposed to dangers by mines
and warships and that merchantmen
who nevertheless ventured to ply
across this district did so at their own
risk.
ENGLAND soon understood, in spite
Of this arbitrary declaration. contrary
to all the laws of nations, she would
not obtain the desired result-that is.
to bring the women and children of
German to starvation.
Orders in Council.
Therefore she issued March IL,
1915, the famous order in council,
which was carried out in such fash
ion that neutrals were set in irons and
blockaded When even this measure,
in spite of two years of the most brutal
execution, failed to bring Germany to
death by hunger, England on Jan. 20,
1917, once more declared a part OF
the North sea war zone.
"Thus England has twice declared
parts of the high seas as barred and
twice declared that everybody who
ventured into the barred zone incurs
danger, not only danger for the ships
but for the lives of all human beings
on board.
without regard for the rights Of
neutrals and the rights of peaceful
trade, England, therefore, created the
idea of war zone"
