In a letter to Lerch, Praeger asked
him to show cause why he should
not be dismissed as he was no longer

written by Lerch in reply.
Mr.. FlAherty mentioned the case OF
Lerch, who was dismissed for super

of faithful service, and also to the
case of John W. Perry, a clerk for
nfty years in the office at San Fran

Asks Quick Action.

Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary OF
the National Federation OF Postal
Employees, urged legislation to pro-
vide for the superannuated clerks at
once. He said a system OF retirement
for postal employees, as provided in
the Rouse-Hughes bill, could be put
into effect without any additional Gp-
preparation from Congress.
In the course of his testimony Mr..
Flaherty and Senator McKellar got
into an argument as to whether the
legislation sought was wartime
legislation. Senator McKellar denied
1t was war legislation. Mr.. Flaherty
took the opposite view and cited the
fact that at a labor conference here
March 13, before war was declared,
Il was urged that labor set Its own
house in order.
Mr.. Flaherty paid his respects to
Otto Praeger, former postmaster OF
the city, and now Second Assistant
Postmaster General. He referred to
q letter written by Praeger to John
Lerch, who was the personal ap-
pointee Of President Lincoln in the
Washington postoffice and who was
named In 1858.

IA, IA! STEAM HEAT IN HAWAII

HONOLULU, Aug. 4.-All Hawaii is laughing at the expense of the archi- tects' bureau at Washington which provides steam heat connections for the United States building which was recently dedicated in the town of lilo, Island of Hawaii, 32 miles distant from the active volcano of Kilauea. Not until the building was completed did the Hiloites discover that steam heat connections were made from the base ment into all the rooms, and they con- slider this another example of the lack of knowledge which Washington off1- cials have of Uncle Sam's youngest territory, particularly concerning eli mate, for in Hawaii practically every month is the month of May or June, and there is no winter season at all. Steam heat has never been used Tn the Islands. Stoves are a rarity except for kitchen service. Years ago a Wash ington architect in preparing plans for a certain public building in Hawaii, gave it hip roofs, being designed to shed snow.

 Second Attack
 "Ten-The H., leading the second group, encountered two submarines, the first about :50 a. m., June 26, 1917, in Latitude -, N, Longitude -, w., about a hundred miles off the coast of France and the second two hours later. The 1. investigated the wake of the first without further dis covery. The J. sighted the bow wave of the second at a distance of 1900 yards and headed for it at speed of 25 knots. The gun pointers at the forward gun saw the periscope several times for several seconds, but it dis appeared each time before they could get on, due to the Zig-Zagging of the ship. The J. passed about 25 yards ahead of a mass of bubbles which were coming up from the wake and let go a depth charge just as she passed over. Several pieces of timber, quantities Of oil, bubbles and debris came to the surface. Nothing more was seen of the submarine. The attacks on the second group occurred about 800 miles to the eastward of where the attacks had been made on the first group.

SAYS BRITAIN WOULD GAIN BUT LITTLE BY
 BECOMING REPUBLIC
'Why Should We Radicals and Democrats Want to See Anything Like That Here?' Asks Prominent Liberal Leader.

RAWTHENSTALL, Eng, Aug. A. Opposition to the idea of reorganizing the British government on the lines of republic recently was expressed by Viscount Lewis Harcourt, member of the Liberal party, and formerly Sec retary of State for the Colonies, in a speech delivered to his constituents here. He said:
 Because there has been a reyolu- ton in Russia and a deposition in Greece, and because there were al ready republics in France and the United States, a small minority of thoughtless and illogical persons in this country thought or said that we shall have or should have a republic here.
 ''Why in the name of wonder should we radicals and democrats want or seek anything of the kind in this country? What in Heavens name could any of us gain by it? We have already the most perfect and complete democracy that the would ever con- ceived or constructed. We carried out an orderly revolution through parli- amentary legislation by which we de- prived the crown of all it's undemo- cratic prerogatives. until today the king stands as the best hereditary popular president which any consti. tltion-monger could create.
 Our own, system of limited mon archy is the most strictly limited and most plebeian form of monarchy which any sane republican could de sire or devise. No elected president would obtain the prestige, especially in India, which we happily find in our present hereditary head of the British Commonwealth"

Watch How the Income

tax OF $22 for the year 1s1T. This
is per cent OF his or her salary in

empt up TO $4,000.
But II his wife is making $50 a
