The line of the victorious Allies
still moves forward Pushing the
obstinate Huns before them they
press onward toward the German
border. The German army is max
ing a final stand, preparatory we be-
lieve to a great retreat. 1t is said
they are training an army OF crack
Prussians who are to be used as a
bulwark to halt the allies when they
reach the Rhine. But when the
force of the Entente armies becomes
so irresistible that they sweep over
the German boundries and reach
the shores of the Rhine, they will
sniff the air of Berlin so strongly
and catch such radiant glimpses of
imperial palaces at Potsdam and
such, that the crack troops of Prus-
STA will melt before them like a
snow-flakes in July. Let them go
forward with the song of victory on
their lips, lifting high the Starry
Banner to the kissing winds! Ev-
cry foe must fall before them. On
to Berlin!

ries a letter to the utmost confines
of the country, so shall telegraph
message be carried for stipulated
price, regardless of distance.
David j. Lewis, director of opera
tons, wol Is the practical man in
the new government management,
says that such uniform fiat rate
Tor kilograms is utterly impossible
Lecause of administrative difficulties
and that il is necessary to establish
regions with rates made In accord
ance with the regions. There will
be local wire operating directors for
each city, who will have charge OF
the operation of the telephone and
telegraph lines. 1t has been practi-
cally settled that the postmasters
will have charge of the fiscal or
money end of the wire administra-
ton in their respective communities
and will have general charge Of wire
service as representatives of the
postmaster general. There are
100000 miles of telephone and
telegraph wires in the United States,
all of which are now under the con-
troll of the postmaster general.

MEMORIAL.

In memory of A. S. Keown, who
, departed this life, July Goth 1918.
A messenger has approached our
Camp announcing that a patriot has
obeyed the summons of the Great
Captain, the Lord of Hosts; and has
gone to bivouac around the camp
/ fires of the skies. He who lies in
his grave, wrapped in his long sleep
of death, was our brother.
With him we have watched around
the camp fires of our council. With
him we have labored and deliberted
for the upbuilding of our Noble Or
der That he was faultless cannot
be supposed; for he; like each of us
was human and prone to err.
While he was with us our love as
u mantle covered his faults, whatever
they may have been, and now that
he is gone that same love enshrouds
his memory. The remembrance of
his virtues and kindly deeds fingers
with us and whatever was good, no.
BILE and amiable in his life and
character we will do well to emulate.
To the relatives and friends of our
departed brother we offer our heart
felt sympathy.
A dear one, around whom the
tenderest ties of life have been en-
twined, has been called from your
presence. There is one vacant
chair in your home. That form in
which you delighted is still. Those
eyes that shone more bright when
you were near are dimmed forever.
The tongue that spoke words of love
and cheer is silent. Be of good
cheer weeping endureth but for the
night; Joy cometh in the morning."

The Red Cross is calling for thous-
ands of young ladies to volunteer as
nurses. This is the opportunity
that hundreds of girls have been
seeking and signing for. and now
with it brought face to face with
them they seem to be holding back.
This is a call that may not come
again for long time and those who
want to see service in that capacity
should lose no time in answering It.

Men and women who have fur
nished the man power to win this
war will gladly follow them with
their money. The yellow cur who
has not furnished a boy, who profits
by reason of his neighbours sacrifice,
and refuses to do, not what he thinks
but what people capable of judging,
think he should do, is too con-
temptible to be respected by loyal
citizens, and thank God, this feeling
is growing as homes are being touch
ed by this war.

We notice quite lengthy article
in the editorial column of last weeks
edition of our contemporary,
eulogizing our efficient County and
Circuit Court officials Sometime
ago we noticed an article in the same
paper mentioning the fact that our
Circuit Judge and Commonwealth
Attorney had about succeeded in
clearing the docket of the rubbish"
left by their predecessors. Referr-
ing to our files we find copies of the
Commonwealth dockets for the vari-
Gus terms of Circuit Court held
since February 1916, the first term
of the present officials, and at that
term the docket was made up of So
Commonwealth cases left by the out
going officials, 10 of which were the
famed "Possum Hunter" cases,
which have been "filed away with
leave to reinstate" leaving a total
of rs cases to be tried. At the Ju-
ly 1918 term we find the docket
was composed of 125 commonwealth
cases, an addition OF 80 cases during
the 215 years, although litigation I'm
general has diminished materially
during the period of war. We have
no desire to question the efficiency
of our Judicial officers, but prefer to
present the facts as they appear on
the records rather than in a mere
( complimentary statement.

1t is said that tho automobile ac-
cident which resulted in the death
of one and injury of others, was
caused by the drivers disregard of
highway regulations. We hope this
is not true. But at any rate. il

drivers to keep on the right side OF
the road and not TO dash down a

/ Washington, ID. c., Aug. Is
b Gimme a ten-word telegram stamp
( please. ! want to send a telegram"
/ This is the sort of lingo that prob
ably will be heard before long in
the telegraph Offices of the country
which, by the way, probably will be
centered largely in the postoffice In
close PROXIMITY TO the postal lines
of communication.
Nowadays when a person wants to
send letter he calls for a three
cent stamp; by the same token If he
wishes to send a telegram in the
year 1919 he probably will call for
a telegraph stamp--one samp for
ten words, two stamps for twenty
words or for ten words and frac-
tion over, and so on. He will stick
the stamps on the message, hand It
in at the window and Uncle Sam will
do the rest. 's'~-'- '"'''~
The tentative arrangement is to
have printed distinctive telegraph
stamp so that it may be more easy
to keep the revenue from the postal
and the telegraph service distinct,
but pending the issue of distinctive
stamps it is likely that ordinary pos
tage stamps will be accepted for the
transmission of telegraph messages.

only transformation they will pass

High Salaries To go

There is one certainty, however,
that will fall on the highly paid Off
Gals of telegraph and telephone SER
vice with dull, thickening thud,
and that is under government opera
tion a good deal of the the fat will
be fried out of their salaries. The
federal wire-control administration
is not planning a wholesale decapita-
ton of officials of the telephone and
telegraph companies. Just as has
been done in the base of the govern
ment operation of railroads, many of
these high-salaried officials will be
retained but it is probable their pay
envelope will not contain the same
sized checks as of yore. The feder-
al officials intend, if it is humanity
possible, to prevent any increase in
either telephone or telegraph rates
and, in fact, they are now discussing
plans looking toward a reduction in
telegraph rates.
Telephone and telegraph regions
will be created, with regional direc-
tors in charge of them. Rates will
be made according to these regions.
Members of congress from the far
West are insisting that one fiat uni
form telegraph rate be established
for the whole country and that. just
