There are many complaints
throughout the country of de-
layed and unsatisfactory mail
service. SO serious are condi-
tons that few days since, the
Boston Chamber of Commerce
had to take this matter in hand
because Of the very bad service
between Boston and New York.
Beginning last winter the mail
service in the northwest was
most unsatisfactory, due as near
ly as could be ascertained. to the
penurious policy of the postofflce
department. II would seem that
1t should be the first duty Of the
government to keep the mail
service TIP to the highest degree
of efficiency, especially as a fifty
per cent increase on postage will
soon be added to our bills.

an endeavor to coin this opposi-
ton into an eic1nent of strength
to be used later. He may imagine
that within another two years
there will be q large anti-war
party in the United States and
that he will be the leader, and that
once more there will open to him
a path to the presidency. AT this
point we are again reminded Of
Burr and his famous scheme Of
an empire in the United States.
La FolIette's defiant attitude
toward the senate committee that
is investigating his case offers a
further suggestion of his possible
scheme. Apparently he invites
expulsion. As expulsion from the
senate of the United States has
been rare and has been accom-
plished only when the most COM
plete evidence of malfeasance Is
offered we are inclined to think
a case against La Toilette will
not be sustained TO the point of
convicting him in that body OF
treason in the form necessary to
secure his expulsion.
The next stage Of his career is
likely TO be that of Burr in an ef-
fort to regain his popularity. hut
we feel convinced that the people
OF the country have taken his full
measure and that nothing will
happen to restore him to any de-
gree Of prestige with any CON
siderable number Of people in the
country.

About $4,000 of the o3OOO me

About $4,000 of the $4,000 men
attending the second series of Of
flcers' training camps will re-
ccive commissions on November
9th. 1t is believed that at least
that number Of men will prove
to be competent and that inn
mediatcly afterward every man
will be assigned to line service.
Nearly all of the 100000 men to
be called into service by the sec
ond draft will be used to fill up
the present division. If there is
to be second national army as
is most probable, 4 third call will
be necessary. II is believed that
another call will come before the
spring, and probably early in
January. This should provide a
sufficient quota Of troops, if as
most critics believe, the war will
be at an end within a year.

European limbs are much heavier than
the American, most OF the European,l
wounded wenr them only for show and.
revert to stumps and peg legs when
they so to work.
Another lesson, that Europe has
passed on Is the necessity Of teaching
by instructors who are disabled In
the same way AZ those they teach. An
instructor with two perfect legs. for
instance. cannot possibly understand
the despair that brushes le,s.css man:
whereas q legless teacher BY his own
ability inspires his nupils with hope
and hope Is the basis of the whole
work. This fact. SO Obvious when 1t is
once suggested. was discovered by ac-
cldent. Rose lie Blanc. who had lost
both hands at the wrists by an ex-
rlosion In munitions plants, applied
to the orthopedic hospital FOR fond

At table she showed such skill In Using

trades.
Many former soldiers are now teach
ers. The fact that they have been
through the mill Is an enormous en-
couragement to the injured.
So far as possible an injured man is
allowed to choose which trade ne Win
learn. but sometimes it has proved
necessary to persuade him to under
take another. The vocation directors
/ are men Of long experience who can
often judge more wisely than the pa
tient himself. For, instance. some man
! may wish to learn a trade that is be-
You'd his powers. and II he tries to
learn It and fails he may become hope

OF course, the general condition: of the
labor market must be taken into ac-
count, for ON this depends the patients
chance for job.
The choice of work. however, is
wide: already men who have lost one
or both arms or legs are doing excel
lent work at photography. movie pro-
jecting. electric wiring, linotype oper-
ating. elevator running, baking. tailor.
ing. drafting. and many other trades.

Of work thrown open to them. In Eng.
land all OF them are taught to type
write: and each, on leaving the school

also attend to his correspondence. To
typewrite really seems to come BY ma

IS LA TOILETTE ANOTHER
BURR?

n most Interesting PoI ailNl IS
found in the careers Of Aaron
Burr and La Toilette, though the
lines are not quite complete and
at points are irregular The strik-
ing feature is in the consuming
ambition of each for the presl-
dency and the CALLING bitterness
Of disappointment brought by
failure.
In the case Of Burr there fol-
lowed his wild plan of an eNpedl-
ton to invade Mexico for the
purpose of establishing an en-
pire that would embrace some Of
the southwestern states Of the
Union. The scheme included
himself as emperor and the
building of a nation that would
be menace to the United States.
Subsequently Burr was tried at
Richmond, Virginia, on an in
dictment for treason, but after
long investigation before Chief
Juctice Marshall, the prosecution
was abandoned and Burr was
acquitted in September, 1907. He
died in New York in 1896 after a
remarkable and adventurous
career in the course of which he
missed the presidency by two
votes. That was when the cleo
ton was thrown in the house
Of representatives, when Burr
sought to do,lble-cross Jefferson.
who had been his friend and aid.
by seeking the support OF the
Federals. His political career
was ended, though he was after
ward nominated and defeated for
governor of New York He died
disappointed and dlsgraced, be-
cause with all the brilliant tai
ents, he was a thoroughly I'M
principled scoundrel, always
ready to trade or sell or betray
his followers when he saw an OPP
portunity for political advance
ment.
The career of La Toilette is
quite different in some respects.
hut an estimate of his qualities
and his accomplishments and his
acts before and since the begin
ming of The war, carry a strong
reminder Of Burr's program and
suggests the plausible theory that
he is making one last throw for
the presidency of the United
States. The high point Of La Fol-
lette's career was reached when
he sought and failed to Wrest
from Roosevelt the leadership of
the progressive element Of the
Republican party. Since that
hour he has seen himself fade in
the vision Of the progressive
forces Of the country. President
Wilson, but little known to the
country at large, swept across the
horizon and grasped the great
prize while La Toilette, in his
vast egolsm, failed TO unders tand
why the peopl" should not turn
to him. Indeed. had he not as
governor Of Wisconsin been the
pioneer and trail blazer of pro-
gressivism? Why should the
people turn to d man so little
known as Woodrow Wilson and
with nc record Of accomplish
ment?
We fancy that this disappoint-
ment has been a consuming can
Ger in La Follette's mind; at
least, during the past years he
has been a sour. imbittered man
continually attacking everything
and everybody. An endless
crouch has burned in his soul.
Finally we see him in the fore
ground of DIRECTORS, to- the war, hi

Approves Americas Principles in Note to Russian Government

London, June 12.-In reply to the Russian Provisional governments request for statement of the Brit ish war aims Great Britain has for warded to Petrograd Ia note In which Is expressed hearty acceptation and approval of the principles which President Wilson laid down in his historic message Sta sAgress. The note reads:
 ''In the proclamation to the Rus sian people enclosed with the note 1t is said that free Russia does not purpose to dominate other peoples or take from them their national patrimony, or forcibly occupy for eign territory. In this sentiment the British government heartily concur. They did not enter the war As war of conquest. they are not continuing 1t for such object.
 Their purpose Ut the outset was to defend the existence of their coun- try and enforce respect for interna- tional engagements. To those ob- jects have now been added that of Mberating populations oppressed by alien tyranl1y

 Beyond everything, we must seek such settlement as will secure the happfness and cbntentnnent of peo- pies. and take away all legitimate causes Of ,future war.
 The British government heartily join with their Russtan allies in their acceptance and approval of the prin- ciples laid down by President Wilson in his historic message to the Amer- ican congre4s. These are the aims on which the British peoples are lighting. These are tho principles by which their war policy Is and will be guided. !
