AGAINST
POST Al RATES
ON NEWSPAPERS

Washington, May IA. -Newspaper
publishers were here today to protest
to the Senate finance committee
against the increasing second class
mail rates by application of the par
Gel post zone system proposed by the
$780, 100000 war tax bill.
The committee also considered the
measures provision for stamps and
inheritance taxes to which there were
many objections. The house resumed
debate OH the bill and leaders spoke
for its passage early in the week.
A statement prepared by the com
mittee of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, headed by
Don c. Deitz, of the New York World,
said the proposed postal increase
was a cold blooded proposition to
close the mails to newspapers, and
would result in so much loss OF cir
culation, especially among farmers,
that postal income would decrease
and rural carrier systems would en-
tail an even greater loss than at pres
ent

After three minutes of excitement

far the drop might extend. That7was
quickly decided, for the decline was

With Mary Boyle o'ReiIIy.) q
I have come home from France to

America needs great air navy,
fleets of aeroplanes and battalions

should be made up of girls.
Must Wake Up.
The man who would bar women
from the air service must wake up.
Women are in the air service by
thousands. "a
They are encouraged to do the dir

any chance to fly.

From motives Of chivalry? Not a
bit of it! Professional jealousy was
the real reason.
Such early Victorian lack of conf

closing of the Lexington will greatly
inconvenience travellers. Olson in

Mrs. Jarvis this week received a
letter from her son, Stanley Jarvis,
member of Battery c, 146th Field
Artillery, 41st division. Stanley tells
of moving from Camp Mills in New
York to Camp Merritt at Tenafly,
N. Jersey:
1--WE left Camp Mills this morning
and rode on the electric to Long
Island and then took the Long Island
ferry across the Hudson river and
landed in Jersey City. We sure had
swell trip on the ferry and | saw
the New York water front and ship
ping points and also passed couple
of large U. S. warships; also the
informed German ship, the water
land" and other German vessels
which the government is now vsing
for transports.
1t was awful cold on the trip but
we were seeing so many new sights
that we didn't notice the weather
much. We got a good look at the
statue of Liberty and it certainly
looked fine up in the air and over
looking the water AS soon as we
landed we took the train for an
hours run to Camp Merritt. 1t is
a swell camp. 1t is pretty cold but
we are in the barracks and / have a
real bed and springs and mattresses
to sleep on. 1t sure is a grand, glor-
ious feeling after sleeping on those
nonstretching cots. We have a big
coal heater in the middle of our room
and it is very fine after those sleep
ing tents.
We also have a fine, large bath
house and wash room with hot and
cold water. To tell the truth, it
wouldn't hurt my feelings if we
stayed here all winter. We don't
know how long we will be here OF
where we will go next. Well
Mother, dear, l guess have told
you all about our move. / am well
and feeling fine and am almost
happy. Love to all,
Your Loving Son,
