U. s. MAY HELP TO
 END WAR QUICKLY
Yiscount Bryce Believes Our En- trance Will Have Great Effect

London, April 4.-Viscount Bryce. former British Ambassador at Wash ington, replying to g. question as to what difference Americas entrance in the war would make to Europe now and hereafter, said:
 T would say that it will be of the highest importance in three ways. and it gives the keenest pleasure to Americas warmest friends here. First, it must bring the war to a speedier close, not only by the ma- terial aid in money and men and in the supply of food to the allied coun- tries which America can give, but also by the moral effect her participa- ton will produce on the German people and the German armies. They will now see that success has for them become impossible. Demorali- zation must increase and resistance weaken.
 Second, America comes in from no selfish motives. but as the champion of international justice and humanity outraged by the German methods of conducting the war. She stands by the Allies in their effort to vindicate human rights, in respect to which the success of Germany would give fatal blow
 Third, the world has for nearly a century and a half known and ad- mired America as a country which has pre-eminently loved and prized freedom and given sympathy to all who strove for it. She is now giving help of incalculable value to the cause of freedom. .s
 President Wilson, in his lofty and impressive address, worthy of the occasion that called 1t forth, has rightly dwelt on the fact that 1t is the German Government, rather than the German people, that is re- sponsible for the series of crimes committed by land and sea during this war. The German people, hither- to fed by their government upon lies, will now begin to realize that it Is the military caste which dominates them and that has by its ruthless savagery reused against Germany the horror and indignation of the New as well as the Old World. We may now hope that they will shake off the yoke and bring themselves, as the Russian people have done. into the fellowship of those free nations whose govern ments would not dare to perpetrate such crimes. .-:-
 Never has a better blow been struck for democratic freedom than that which America is now dealing to the last of the despotisms that re- main in Europe

sIEEL GO. RAISES WAGES.
Ten Per Cent. Increase for Those Re-
 ceiving Less Than $2,5OO.

Ten Per Cent. Increase for Those Re- ceiving Less Than 2,5OO.
 New York, April 1.-The United States Steel Corporation announced yesterday that wages and salaries of workers receiving $2,500 year or less would be increased 10 per cent. on May 1. This applies to those in the steel works, blast furnaces. and offices. The schedules in the mines, railroads, and steamship lines will be adjusted to make the increase equal the advance in the manufacturing de-
 partments.
 This is the fourth wage: increase voted by the corporation since Jan. 1, 1916, each being of 10 per cent. The increases last year occurred on Feb.
 l, and Dec. 15. When the latest up- turn goes into effect the men will re- ceive slightly more than 46 per cent. more pay than before the first ad- vance last year was granted. While Chairman F.. H. Gary limited the an-
 nouncement to a bare statement of facts, it was assumed in financial circles that the increase was prompt
 cd, as were the others, by the rising
 cost of living and the desire of the management to have the employees share in current prosperity on g. larger scale than before.

MEXICO.

Now it is feared we are to be visited
 by the long looked for attack via
 Mexico. As war with Germany
 the picture of an invasion of German
 reservists over the southern border.
 1t Is argued that Carranza now has
 his chance; that he will carry out the
 purpose and intent of the intercepted
 Zimmerman note to the German
 ambassador at Mexico City. Perhaps
 these things will come about.
 Yet, if there is to be any trouble
 States Government will take care of
 it in good shape. One overt act there
 will be enough to set the First Chief
 thinking. If that gentleman knows
 upon which side his bread is buttered
 he will leave well enough alone,-he
 will leave all the trouble making to German reservists in his domain and
 keep his own soldiers free from con- tact with the American army. For the past year or so Mexico has been getting along very well. It's only menace has been from within. This government has held to the policy of hands off, It has helped rather than hindered Mexico. ; It stands ready now, even in the state of pre- pairing for a larger war, to extend the hand of fellowship and friendship to down-trodden Mexico. If it is called upon to display the sword in that region it will not stop until Carranza and his whole outfit have been banished from power. The whole situation there would be cleaned out, once and for all.
 watchful waNing is a good policy in it's relation to Mexico. After all the tedious months of waiting, the United states has seen the fruits of

A TIMELY REFORM.

For fifty years the fight was waged to bring about the reform in postof- nee administration which President Wilson has now accomplished. By placing all postmasters, first, second.
 third. and fourth class, on equal foot ing. by making them all undergo civ il service examinations this adminis- tration accomplishes daring reform that will be fully appreciated in the years to come. No longer will these offices be distributed as prizes from the political pie counter. To that end theref will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in many quarters. Republicans and Democrats alike will be found to grieve at the loss of an old political institution. But these will be mere- ly politicians from both parties, men anxious to keep and covet everything that belongs to the public at large. The sensible men of the nation will rejoice that a sore on the body polite
 has been removed.
 The merit system in postal affairs is the only system that will insure
 business like precision in the admin istration of this important govern
 ment department. Hereafter, all postmasters must deliver the goods, or
 give way to men who will. No more will the political machine dominate the man at the head of the postofiice, or the men who operate under hina.
 From the highest to the lowest in the postoff1ce department there must be service, and all that the word implies.
 The postmasters who have taken hearty interest in their appointments to serve Uncle Sam in this capacity
 will welcome the change. The men already holding office have an advan- tage. They can study the business from every angle calculated to insure their permanency in the department,
 if they desire to remain with the ser
 vice. That many will take the oppor-
 tunity to give their future time and attention. to the work will insure the
 
 tenn
 Postmaster General Burleson has given assurances that the postmasters holding office will not be removed so
 long as they continue to give good ser vice. They will, however, be re- quired to give their entire time to the work at hand. No more will they be allowed to work hand and glove with the political machines of any state. county, city, or town. There were numerous instances in the past where postmasters left the entire work upon the shoulders of their subordinates For all the good the government got out of such appointees the offices
 might as well have been without their services. With these things in mind, 1t is pleasant to know that New Brit ain has not suffered in this way. Post master Delaney from the moment he took up the rcins of office has devoted the best part of his time to a study of postal affairs. The consequence is. he has become so familiar with the merest detail of his office that he Is practically insured of a lifelong ten- ure, if he so desires. Because of this ,. he deserves the congratulations of the community at large. #

'BELGlANS WEEP AS
 WHITLOCk DEPARTS
Crowd in Tears As Americans
 Bid Brussels Au ReYoir

Berne, April 3, via Paris, April: 4- Brand Whitlock. American minister to Belgium. reached Berne at 6 o'clock this evening, looking worn and weary after the tremendous strain under which he has been working, which has been especially hard during the last few weeks. MT. Whitlock was accompanied from Zurich to Borne by Pleasant A. Stovall, American min- ister to Switzerland, who, with the le. gation attaches, went part of the way to the frontier to meet him.
 The Swiss government sent three high officers to Schaffhausen to meet the Americans and to accompany them to Zurich. From Brussels to the frontier, the whitlock party was escorted by Baron Won F'a1kenhausen, an official especially delegated by Gov. Won Bissing. The party left Brus- sels Monday night on a special train.
 In addition to sixty Americans, comprising the legation staff, consul lar agents and all but five of the Bel gian Relieg commission. Mir. Whit lock travelled with the Chinese charge d'affairs from Brussels witr his staff and their families. The Chinese on. cials had received instructions to leave Brussels for Havre at almost the same time as the Americans.

 MT. Whitlock described his de- parture from Brussels as extremely touching The Belgians. who since the breach of relations between the United States and Germany have been pathetically anxious lest the de- parture of the Americans might mean starvation for them, gathered by thousands at the Care du Nord to say farewell.

But Submarine Campaign Will Bo COntinued-No Change in Treatment of Americans

Berlin. April 8. Via London, April5 4.-The press report of President Wil-' sons ''state of war; address to Con-l morning.
 It is declared here that there will be no change in the German attitude, even if Congress adopts President Wilson's views. Germany will not de-. clare war nor take any step to waged war against the United States. The submarine war will be continued aas it has been conducted since February 1, but this. the officials assert. is pct, directed more against the Untt6da States than any other neutral.
 It is also stated that there will ba no change in thetreatment of Amerily can citizens in Germany, who now have the same freedom as all other neutrals. But Germany expects that the United States will continue the same treatment of Germans in that country.
 London, April 4.-An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam says that reports reach there from Berlin that the German Government contemplates sending to all neutrals protest against the (then expected) American declaration that state of war with Germany exists.
 It is hoped in Germany, the dis patch says, that the protest will inc fluence South American republics. an it will denounce President Wilsonsa< policy as perilous to the neutrality. of the republics of Central and South America 4.ss
