SOL|DERSt MAIL
 IS HANDLED .= sas.az- ] QUICKLY.

The Post Office Department au- thorizes the following:
 Postmaster General Burleson has received from Marcus H. Bum, Un- tied States potsal agent in France a report upon the work of establish ing there a postal agency for the benefit of the members of our ex- peditionary force. The agency has been in operation for several weeks with a full corps of assist ants, so that soldiers mail IS now handled without Interruption.
 Besides the base post office, to which all mail is sent direct, branch es for soldiers have been estab- lished in Paris, at one of the im- portant seaports, and where the sol diers are in training. Postal Agent Bum and his staff arrived at the scene of military activity some time before his equipment, but on the morning following his arrival he opened temporary post office in a room 12 by L16 in the basement or the Army headquarters and tmpro- vised mail facilities by using an overturned wardrobe and empty box es for counters and by hanging mail bags for the distribution of accum- ulated mail.
 The postal service with the Army consists of picked men from the Railway Mail Service and the money order and registry divisions of city post offices. The number of men selected for the work as a matter of precaution exceeds. the presen- needs, but 1t has been thought best to have 8 suft!c'sat force on the ground and in readines to handle properly the mail for the much larger military force which will later go to France. The postal uniform is an olive drab with the letters "U. S." on either side of the throat on the collar and with the brassard 21s inches wide, with the red letters "P. g." on the left arm.
 All the elaborate postal equip ment which Postmaster General Burleson directed should 80 to France has been installed and the employes have been assigned to their various posts, with the re- suit that full postal facilities are now at the disposal of our soldiers in France.

Daily Points For
 Citizen Soldiers (From Government Home Reading , Course).
THE INDIVIDUAL SOLDIER
 COUNTS

Other things being equal, an ar my made up of self-reliant, think ing men has great advantage over merely machine-like army, and this is especially true in present day warfare. Maj. Gen. Hugh L, Scott, Chief of staff, U. S. A, re- marks on this point:
 The conditions under which mod ern wars are fought aretever makin increasing demans on the individual soldier. 5 The individual sol- dier must know how to interpret ac- curatLIy order and signals, for the enemy's fire may often so isolate from bis leader and comrades, per haps only a step away, that he may be thrown on his own initiative in making his actions conform to those of the whole line; he may have to use his own judgment in opening fire, in advancing, in in- trenching."

FRENCH WOMEN QUIT
 CIGARETTE SMOKING

Women have stopped smoking in France
 save your cigarettes for the sol- diers," is the newest of feminine slogans upon the continent.
 It has remained for Mary Car den, international operatic tavorite' to chronicle a little sacrifice French women are making by way of "do- ing their bit"
 In letter from Paris the fa- nous diva says:
 "It is a little thing, to be sure, ,ut French women have given up smoking during the war. They still buy cigarettes, but they do not smoke them. They are sent to the front. They say that al most more than anything else sol diers at the front must have cig- arettes. Apparently they lessen the high nervous strain Of the men who are almost continually under fire. The soldier returning from the front wants to carry cigarettes back to comrades in the trenches.
 "The French women in all class es of society have given up their after-dinner smoke. They are say ing and sending their cigarettes to the front. The woman now who will brave public opinion by exhibiting filigreed cigarette case in a cafe is exceptional. They have made this little sacrifice with the same readiness with which they have made far greater ,ones."

LEAVE PAY FOR P. 0. RECRUITS

4 bill that proposes to grant the usual annual leave with pay to em- yIoyes of the Post Office Depart mcut whA enter the military service has been introduced by Congress- man Norman '. Gould of New York. The law which provides that an employe may not draw two salaries from the government when they total more than $2,OOO is set aside ia Mr. Colds bill so as to enable l. e Post Office employees to draw both their post office and military compensations until the period of their leave is exhausted. The pass age Of ALr. GOuld's measure will be a relief to many young men who have already enlisted, or who may be drafted, and removes the penalty which would otherwise attach to them for promptly eulisting instead oI first taking a vacation of q month.

Women Give Out

Housework is hard enough when healthy. Every Skagway woman who is having backache, blue and ner- vous spells, dizzy headaches g and kidney or bladder troubles,B should be glad to heed this grateful wo- mans experience.
 Mrs. .Frohwerk, 6S7 York st., Portland, Ore, says: My kidneys acted too often and my feet and ankles sEelled. l had to go to the hospital and the doctors said I had uraemic poisoning. I suf-I tered terribly with sharp pains in the small of my back. When I re- turned still suffered with pains in my back. Later I was again taken to the hospital and I can't describe how I suffered. All that spring, after I came home, I had that trouble and finally a nurse'told me to try Deans Kidney Pills. I'm glad I did for they cured me of eY- cry sign of kidney complaint" WELL EVER SINCE Mrs. Frobwerk gave the above statement November dS, 1915 and on May 22, 1917 she added: "Doan's Kidney Pills saved my life when they cured me of kidney trouble. I have been strong and well ever since"

SUCCESS TO THIS STRIKE

Win whatever fCrtitude heaven has given US, we shall endure the horrors of the hunger strike be- gun in Ellensburg, Wash, by 6l members of the pestifeTOus l. w. W. These rascaIs were arrested for iutimidating wOrkmen in Ellens- burg, and having been housed in a temporary prison, were served with food. They decline to eat, and have informed Sheriff Garrison that as long as they are kept in jail, they will keep up the hunger strike, They have let it be known that they intend to sJarYe themselves to death, so that civil and criminal suits may be brought against the Sheriff.
 With extraordinary eQuanimity, Sheriff Garrison views the efforts Of the vicious l. W. W. to get the law on him" He says if their heirs sue him for damages, he will set up a counterclaim for room rent; and if he is charged with muE- der, ne will be able to prove con tributory negligence. In the mean time, he is thinking of having the gang engaged in the hunger strike arrested on the charge of trying to commit suicide-a crime which, while not sedtous enough to merit capital punishment, is yet great enough to earn term on the rock pile. .. .'5 ,.s i4.
 There is grave fear that the yil- Hans in jail in Ellensburg will not carry out their threat. Al ready, four of them have broken away from the control of the hun ger strike leaders, and are eating heartily and obstreperously. It would afford the peaceful, law abiding citizens of the Pacific Coast a Ideal of satisfaction to see this strike carried to a successful concIusion.-PoItland Spectator.

FAIR PLAY

A second tradition of the Ameri- can Army. which need only be men toned, is that of fighting fairly and creating even the enemy with as much humanity as his own conduct will permit. As for slaughtering or enslaving the civilian population of captured territory, attacking pris oners or assaulting women, Am erican soldiers would as little com init such crimes" in time of wal as. in time of peace. In this re- spect most of the civilized nations of the world think alike.

Porter is a member of the Eightn regiment engineers, nation al army, U. s. A.

Law To make them know what he is driv
ling at. He does not have to YAM
them by the nape of their necks AM
haul them around like they are buck
irg bronchos, because his following il
not built up out of people who are cal
culated to buck or pull against their
leader.
All Watson has to do is to nod his
head to the right or left, raise his
finger in whatever direction he wants
them to go, and they go.
When he tells them that the dipping
lew for cattle is unconstitutional they
accept what he says about it and are
willing to pour out their last dollar to
ore of his lawyers to help prove theit
contention. When he tells them that
some particular Democrat is little
better than some other, they jump at
his conclusion. Then when he tells
them that some Republican is better
than the Democrat for the general ell
ection, they follow him blindly into
the Renubljcan camp.
So when Mr. Watson intimates that
the United States government cannot
send an army to France, according to
George Washington and Thomas Jeffer-
son, Watson's followers get the idea
that what he says is the court of last
resort. Mr.. Watson probably does not
intend to be guilty of treason. We are
quite sure he would put up as good
fight as any one else in case of a
showdown, but he has gotten the
habit of opposing everything that some
other folks stand for He is protes-
tant by nature against the doings OF
Woodrow Wilson and the leaders Of
both of the old parties. This habit
leads him to do and say things that he
does not mean to have the effect which
it does have upon those who follow
him.
The sleuths seem to be on Watson's
track now in an effort to lay the guilt
OF. treason against him. We doubt if
he can be convicted of treason, but he
has unquestionahy put a lot of fool
ideas in the head of some of his fol-
lowers and those ideas are going to
do them more harm than good if the'
do not look out.-Valdosta Times.

great principle is being fought for, thu
fight goes on until that principle tri-
umphs; but the problem before us is
how to make the speediest possible
end of this hateful struggle and we
should keep the fact before us that
every sluggish and unawakened per-
son in the country is holding back the
clock that is ticking for victory.
Great as the value of the actual
achievements of all these patriotic
movements is, the spirit of enthusiasm,
determination and zeal which is being
developed by them is greater. 1t is
right and helpful for everybody to do
everything they possibly can. Even,
suppose that some of the energy devel-
oped does escape into seemingly
wasteful and useless activities, the
main thing is to get together and do
something. After while more per-
feet organization and wiser direction
will come about and when the time
which the sleepers are waiting for gets
here, these great movements will be
prepared to meet the emergency with
faithful efficiency.
For those of us who are too old, too
young, or otherwise disqualified for
the soldiers noble and stirring part IN
the sacrifice before us, there is the
overwhelming sense that these young
men are going to the front to suffer
surely. and to die, perhaps-that We
may continue to live in peace and COM
fort Should we hold back dollar, or
lack a single effort that would add its
small part to Fastening the end of
this hideous destruction? Should any
citizen stand still and wait until some
one gets hurt before doing his utmost
in any and all directions which seem
helpful ?-Sayannah Press.
