 Fellow Citizens, while this great sacrifice of personal opin- ion, desire, and life is being made by those men over there, what are you doing over here :?

 Do you know the President of the United States With the assistance of the Congressmen Senators, Governors and all oth CT public officials is the one who is responsible for the com fort of our soldiers and allies, & the final outcomeof the war, and every bit of assistance you give the President or any public official is direct help to every man in the trenches and a blow to the Hun.
 Pers hing is the General over there who with the proper men to assist him will succeed and when he finds an able m1n whom he desires to have as an assistant he always gets Eim, because the government knows cooperation is the most eSsent- ial principal of efficiency and our records for centuries prove 1t.

POSTAL CO. O|SAeRfES
As TO COMPENSATION
WON'T AocF:DE TO DEMANDS.
Gives rs Reason Discrepancies in
Figures Submitted by Company and
Inability to Approximate Its Prop
crty Valuation.

Washington, Nov, 2l.-P ostmaster
General Burleson has announced that
the governments compensation to
the Postal Teleera pin Cable conf
pany for the period of government
control will be less than the $500
900 budget submitted by the corpora
ton. At the same time, he stated
that the Postal company will receive
every assistance from his department
II they wish to take the matter to the
court OF claims for further adjust
ment. He stated that the Postal COM
pany il the only wire company with
which the postofice department has
had any difnculty in coming 10 an
agreement as to compensation.
Mr.. BurlesOn explained. as a prin-
cipai reason for his refusal to grant
the compensation rate requested by
the Postal company, the inability OF
the company to give him an approx
nation Of Its property valuation and
Also the great variance" between
figures for the company's earnings in
1916 and the figures submitted for the
same year by several component COM
panies OF the Postal company to the
interstate commerce commission Ac-
cording to Mr.. Burleson's figures. the
data submitted by the thirty nine
component companies to the inter
state commerce commission for the
year ending with 1915 showed total
investment in plants and equipment
Of 3s,s47,472.
Their gross revenues were reported
for the year az 312,09S.sSS, the net
income being set at $332,3<3. The
sworn statement recently furnished
to the postmaster general by the Pos
tai company hxed their net operating
income for land lines for 1915 at
$4.157.670.44. Another marked dr.
ference Is shown In the item Of de-
probation. which the interstate COM
merce commission reports set at
tz.1S7.9o0: the figures submitted to
Mr.. Burleson are only $427,S02.
A similar difference Is shown In
the two reports on the business for
the year of 1917. The report Of the
companies to the Interstate commerce
commission shows a net income OF
$1l7.264, while the recent statement
by the Postal company to Mr.. Bur-
Lesson for his guidance in making UP
a compensation estimate gavr the net
profits for 1917 as 34.4s5.5s3.34 for
the land lines. The first report show
ed depreciation charges as $3.50, 900,
while only $44B,975 was charged to
that item in the more recent report
The statement issued by Mr.. Bur
Lesson today refers to the charge made
by President Mackay. of the Postal
company. on November IL, that the
compensation granted the Western
Union company for 1917 was more
than its earnings. Mr.. Burleson re-
piles that the compensation Is ST.
100000 less than the Western Unions
land lines earned In that year.

FINNISH PEOPLE
REJOICE At WAR END

Many Finnish people joined in the
jubilations which attended the an
nouncement that the war was over.
The spirit which they received the
news Ii reflected In the editorials
printed In the American Finnish
press. At the frst intfmation that hos
tilities were finished, the Paivalehti a
Finnish non-socialist daily Of Duluth.
Mimi. came ont with the following
editorial
'Tt seems that the United States
has accomplished the first part Of its
great task" said the Paivalehti. THE
disturber OF world peace has been
overthrown. and the only thing re-
naming Is that the second part of the
work shall be accomplished in an equ-
ally brilliant manner; viz. are recog-
milton of the Independence of the
small nations and their emancipation
from oppression and bondage. Let US
hope that this will come to pass. and
that every nationality that has been
suffering under foreign yoke shall
be liberated from its chains: that II
shall stand forth as free people
among the larger nations, and that
among these shall be included our
old home, Finland Let us
be confident that those things for
which the United States called out
the boys TO ight: the freedom OF tho
world and the rights of the small ma
tons. will be realized"
Similar sentiments were voiced by
the New Yorkin Uutiset. u Finnish
liberal tri-weekly. 1t said: Great Is
the present time, although preceded
by sorrow and pain, Happy seems the
moment when the deadly work OF the
battlefield shall cease and the nations
may return in peace to coAtinue their
orderly development"
