THE German people had no chance

when that government sanctioning the
purposes OF Austria to have her will

chance to express opinion or learn at

CAPITAL OCTOBER Is
kerensky Outlines Plans Before
Cabinet in Petrograd.

Petrograd. Oct. H.-The cabinet met
to hear Premier Kerensky's report on
his recent visit to the front and his
conversations with the general COM
manding the northern front.
The chief subject discussed was the
evacuation Of Petrograd. The pre-
mier expressed the belief that the
evacuation Of Petrograd was not urg-
ent, and should be carried out gradu-
ally, without undue haste.
The announcement of the impend-
ing removal of the government has
not caused anxiety among the popu-
lace. although It is the topic of dis
cussion to the exclusion Of almost all
other subjects.
The beginning of the removal of the
government to Moscow is set for Oc-
tober IS, when the minor depart.
nents VIII leave. The government
proper, however, is not likely to move
before November Is.

GREAT SUCCESS
c ulsory Measure in
Maryland Reduces Idle

Baltimore. Nd, Oct. H.-That the
compulsory work law of Maryland
has proved A big success was the as
sertion today of George A. Malone.
Of this city, director Of the bureau
which is attending to its enforce
ment. Said Mr.. Malone:
"The compulsory work law has now
been in eject for about two months
The eastern shore counties have bean
visited once by a representative from
this bureau and the counties on the
western shore have been visited At
least twice by representives from the
Compulsory Work Bureau.
while in some OF the counties
there have not been any registra-

been demonstrated without doubt

I'm the counties of Allegheny, Fred

Carroll. particularly, the co-opera-
ton and vigorous action Of the Off
cials have markedly reduced fdleness
and the conditions throughout these
counties have been materially i'm
proved as a consequence thereof.
THE following extract from a let

ney for Allegheny county. IA but a
sample of the many reports received
of changed conditions. as a result of
the enforcement Of the compulsory
work act.

this law has gone into effect In this
county there have been few cases Of
id1eness; in fact, all the idlers seem
to have gone to work
Some Counties Are siackers.
"1n most of the counties the OFF,
cials charged with the enforcement
OF the law have manifested a spirit
of cooperation. but in some OF the
counties there seem to be certain To-
cal conditions which apparently pre-
vent as vigorous an enforcement OF
the compulsory work law as, In my
Judgment, should be made.
Cooperation to be of any real
value must be transplanted. Of course.

good citizens of the various counties
will insist upon their officials taking
more vigorous action in enforcing thu

CAPITALS MAIL
HUGE BUSINESS
Postmaster Chance Expe-
dites Matters with
Credit.

Real efficiency is shown by the
Washington postoffice handling of the
immense war mails that are pour
ing into the Capital daily in a paper
flood. Burdens are imposed upon the
big force of 1,lO0 employees by service
to thousands Of strangers in the city
due to the war and also through the
large Increase in parcels post busi-
ness. -. s-.s----..-.
Conditions peculiar =. to the Capital
have to be faced by this office-prln-
cipally the delCge of printed speeches
OF Representative and Senators,
bound for constituents in every viii
lage and hamlet of the country,
which composes about two-thirds Of
the mail handled here.
Among special features OF the local
postoffice which are not met with by
those in other cities, is an extra COL
lection every evening, for the benefit
Of newspaper correspondents who
must forward their copy" on Uncle
Sans affairs to papers over the
United States.
Rapid Dispatch of Mail.
Illustrating the speed with which
letters are dispatched. at certain
hours 1t is not uncommon for letters
to be postmaYked, sealed in the proper
sacks, and loaded on the trucks on
their way to trains in the Union Sta
tion, which adjoins, within the hour
they are received in the building.
Government matter from the print
ing Office nearby. such as the Congress
sional Record. bulletins from different
departments and plants and tons
of other "franked" mail, is brought
already pouched, on the huge belt con-
veyor which carries the full sacks be-
meath the street level through its tun-
mel and so delivers 1t ready for mail
ing at the proper place in the Post
office Building.
In this ultra-modern institution
there is lunch room for the clerks,
as well as a bowling alley and tar
get range. Postmaster Merritt O.
Chance looks well after his force, not
neglecting a 15-cent lunch which Is
the envy of clerks in other govern
ment departments.
