Germans Make Life Harder

The Hun masters Of little Belgium.
having made all kinds of laws and
rules as to how the Belgisns shall
comport themselves by day, are now
making statutes as to how they shall
sleep at night.
Gov. Gen. Won Falkenhausen has
Just handed down an order forbidding
the natives to stun mattresses, cush-
ions and pillows with hay or straw,
feathers: wheat husks or chaf.
Presumably all these things, with
the exception Of feathers. are to be

In order 70 replace the wool. which
has been seized. the Belgians are
graciously permitted TO stun pillows
and mattresses with old paper cut into
small bits-if they can find any.
This information comes from the
Belgian embassy. They say that life
in Flanders becomes harder all the
time for the inhabitants. The houses
are searched by the German soldiers

ways something that for some obscure
reason they deem Of value is lugged

SENATORS QUIZ KOONS
ON POSTAL rate RISE
First Assistant P. M. General Says
Expenses Will Soar.

Members OF the Senate Postoffice
Committee yesterday afternoon told
John c. Koons, First Assistant Post
master General. they could not under
stand how express companies could
transport newspapers far cheaper
than the postoffice proposed to do
under the new zone system" for
second class mail matter.
Witnesses have testified" said
Senator Bankhead. the chairman of
the committee. that only twenty per
cent of second class matter is han
died through the mails. and yet the
Postoffice Department now loses an
nually ZOO, 900. SO you say"
Senator E. d. Smith. of South Car
olina, said:
"A witness says he can send papers
here by express from New York for
forty cents per hundred pounds, but
the department wishes to charge 1856
for overhead charges. etc. 1 under
stand the government claims this is
the actual cost OF handling, yet it
loses millions"
Mr.. Koons, in defense OF his de-
partment. said the express company
delivered the papers in one package
to a newsdealer. whereas the depart
ment had to make perhaps 400 de-
liveries OF single newspapers.
Salary raises of $4,000, 900 are con-
templated for postal employees" he
said. Second class mail matter
should proportionately bear $500, 900
of this. If this is not borne by the
publishers 1t must be raised by tax
