PETROGRAD, April 80. (Delayed.)
Another cog wheel was torn out OF
the old bureaucratic government ma
chine today when the official govern
ment news trust, the Agencie Teie-
graphique, was shorn of its monopol-
istic powers.
For years, this agency, which Ell.
poyed an unchalIenged monopoly CT
government and official news, func-
toned as a powerful arm of the old
order. 1t was subsidized by the
cars government and was openly
and admittedly a propaganda and
publicity bureau of the government.
1t worked under an exclusive con-
tract with one Of the big British
agencies and the allies of that agency
and sought so far as possible to pre-
vent any official news from reaching
any competing agency. At the out
break of the revolution, M. Courland,
managing director of the Agencie
,Telegraphique fled to Finland. A
reorganization was Immediately be.
gun which resulted today in opening
up of all official and semtofficial news
sources of the government to the
United Press on the same basis as
exists for the agencies allied with
the Agencie Telegraphique.

An ADDRESS At THE SCHOOL.

Last Thursday Rev. Mabel Irwin
the lecturer of the Delaware Society
for Social Hygiene, gave a very inter
esting and inspiring talk to the boys
of the grammar grades and the high
school,
Mrs. Mabel Irwin depicted the
dangers surrounding the boy who
spends his time on the streets, empha-
sizing especially the harmful results
derived from acquiring a craving for
tobacco and alcohol. She illustrated
the talk by such forceful and conVinc-
ing proofs that an excellent impress
sion was made upon the boys to re-
strain themselves from acquiring
such destructive habits.
The Delaware Society for Social
is to be congratulated for the
beneficial work it is doing for the fut-
uFe citizens of Delaware. The re-
suits should not and can not be meas
ured in dollars and cents, but should
be measured by the young manhood
and womanhood that the society is
for the local communities
and the State of Delaawre.
