TO THE AMERICAN
FIRMS BY HUGHES

Melbourne. Australia, March 2e.-
Reference to American firms repre-
sented in Australia was made by the
prime minister. Mr.. Hughes, lately.
When deputation from tho Anti
German League Of Victoria waited up
on him to propose legislation to pro-
hibit firms from using names sug-
Eesting British or Australian nation
ality unless the stockholders were
British or Australians, Mr.. Hughes re-
piled:
IF the mercantile and industrial
community Is prepared to support me
I will introduce legislation to prevent
firm in fact foreign from trading un-
treading on dangerous ground in
speaking of American firms, for today
America is neutral but tomorrow she
may be an ally and legislation reflect

END OF LADY OF THE LAKE"
Old Memphemasog Steamer Sold for
Junk

The Lady of tho Lake" that had
piled the waters Of Lake Memphre
magog for the last so years, has been
sold to a Montreal junk dealer for
$4,000 mere fraction of its original
cost. The boat has been towed down
the upper end of the lake and will be
scrapped. The owner plans to burn
the boat for a moving picture reel af
ter stripping its interior OF its ma
chinery and furnishings.
The boat was built on the river
Clyde and brought across the Allan
tic in sections and assembled at Ma
cog. 1t was put on the lake by Sir
Hugh Allan of Montreal, the founder
of the Allan line of transatlantic
line of steamers and who had a pala
tial summer home on the Canadian
side of the lake He afterwards sold
it to the Passumpsic railroad, who

NO SIGN OF PEACE
Peace Before 1919 is Hopeless Says
Congressman


Russia's collapse and the unreadi-
ness of the United States makes hope
less any thoughts of peace before
1919 in the opinion of Medill McCor
mick, congressman at large of Illinois
who has just returned from visit to
most of the important fronts of the
European battle line. Mr.. Mccormick
in statement made at Chicago Sun
day night said: THE Germans are
not winning the war. Neither are
we. The war presents statement
from which we are unable to extri-
cate ourselves because of the col
lapse OF Russia and the unreadiness
OF the United States.
Nowhere in Europe did | find an
informed soldier or public man who
believed that military decision
could be achieved before 1919, when
the United States might add effective
ly to pressure on the central empires
There is practically no hope that Rus
STA can be useful during 1918. Rus
aia is so disorganized that she cannot
make war. Happily in all probability
neither can she make peace.
The resources of the central pow
ers have been energetically spent.
They are bleeding terribly. But they
acts with greater energy, unity and
skill than their enemies. Thus they
made seemingly successful drive
into Italy. The real object of their
political foray into Venetia was part
ly to make camouflage to conceal
their steady losses from Verdun to
Fasschendaele and partly to provoke
revolution in Italy.
The Italians were undergunned,
neither had they enough ammunition
But even So they would not have

gument, the man who drinks a barrel

Skiffington points out, is why active
men are bald and women have no
whiskers on their chins.

Forty Years, Success

For business to be successful for
forty years means a great deal.
Among other things, it means re-
markable excellence in the products

sold on a large scale for so many
years; and it must not only be good
at the outset, but so good that the
progress of forty years shall not de-
velop any better article to supercede

Now nobody would claim that Rob
insOn CrusOe, JT.," is a $3.50 show.
That's a high price even with Al JOl-
son working. But without him 81
would be plenty for the best seats
in the house. At every performance
people went expecting to see JolsOn,
the drawing card. But he didn't ap-
pear. None of the newspapers told
the public about his absence. They
kept quiet and let the GarTiCk man
agement keep on selling tickets to
people who believed they would see
JOlsOn. If the theatrical columns
were run for newspaper readers who
depend upon them for information
about shows, they would have told
the public that JOlsOn was not ap-
pearing in Robinson CTusOe, JT."
But being run to please theatrical
managers and not to protect the
public, the newspapers kept quiet
and thus helped con their own read
ers. Somebody ought to be prose-
cuted for obtaining money under
false pretense.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
THE POLICE DEPT. - Why all
publicity in the newspapers every
day regarding the Chicago police
dept? What is the trouble with it?
Is it doing its duty or not? Is the
chief to blame or the men?
Now, this is what l want to get at:
Nearly every day we read in the daily
papers about police captains, lieu
tenants or patrOlmen being either
Suspended or transferred, such as
this: "The chief contemplateS trans
feTring so many men from sO-aud-
so station to sO-and-sO station, for
doing or rot doing so and so"
Surely there is something wrong
somewhere, some cog no. working
right. People go about talking Of the
wonderful city of Chicago, its sys-
TEN of government, its hotels, its adj
vancement and, last but not least, its
police force.
Now l lived in England for many,
many years; in fact, was born there
and had a slight official connection
with the police department in many
cities. The chief of police in Eng
fish cities are not elected every four
years, but hold their commission as
long as they are efficient; some hold
the job ten and twelve years; others
until they retire or die. Therefore
in a couple of years time they are
in a position to know the police, the
city and the criminals, and usually
in four years time they have such r
a thorough knowledge Of the above
that they are able, if necessary, to
create a new and better system. The
result. is less crime and a higher
standard Of efficiency among the pO-
lice force.
Now, in this city as soon as a chief
has become acquainted thoroughly
with Chicagos crime and criminals
a new mayor is elected; usual result,
a new chief of police.

POSTMASTER CARLILE.-TO the
general run of people it makes no
difference who is postmaster of Chi
cagO so long as he runs the pOstoffiCe
as it ought to be run. It makes no
difference whether he happens to be
a Democrat, Republican, Socialist,
Prohibitionist, Catholic, Protestant
or what not. The public is not par
ticuIarly interested in Democratic
factions, and won't care a darn if it
turns out that Garlic isn't a pOliti-
clan at all, and will not farm out the
jobs to the Sullivan, the Dunno, the
Harrison or other factions, but on
the contrary keeps all efficient sub
Ordinates on the job without regard
to their party affiliations. What the
public wants is service, not politics.
