A Stranger Here

A Times reporter was surprised
Wednesday morning on going into the
postoffice to find complete stranger
there, leaning up against the boxes.
Not another soul was there present
on the delivery side of the Office. The
stranger was what appeared to be a
perfectly good umbrella, resting
peacefully where it had apparently
been left by some one who had been
there for mail. 1t was not chained,
nor even so much as tied to its place,
but still was resting there apparently
unmindful or unminded by the many
patrons of the Office.
This circumstance made profound
impression on the reporter, who was
reminded, of the many, many times
that umbrellas had apparently slipped
from his grasp, never, never to he"
turn. And yet, as above stated, it ap-
peared to be a perfectly good um-
brella. 1t may have been that secret
service agent was secreted somewhere
on guard. Anyway we passed the
stranger by with considerable torpid
alton. Many strange and unexplaln
able things are happening these days,

GOVERNMENT RAILROAD
ADMINISTRATIONS

The general policy and purposes Of
the Railroad Administration as an

briefly summarized as follows:
First, the winning of the war; to
which everything must be subordil
mated; second, the service Of the pub
lie, which Jmeans maintenance and i'm

To RproSide safe and adequate trans
portationf facilities at lowest cost;
third, the promotion of sympathy, UNI
derstanding and cooperation between
the administration and the 2,0O0Q00
railroad employees and the 100 000D0O
patrons, which latter includes every
individual in the Nation; fourth, the
application of sound economies, in
cluding elimination of superfuous ex-
penditures, payment of just wages and
just and prompt compensation for in
juries, economical purchase of mater

vices for saving life and labor, Geo.

equipment, and careful record ard

efficiency.

turned after six months visit with her

where he had been before going to

That Mr.. Hoover has inaugurated
many splendid laws and regulations
for food conservation there is no
doubt. Furthermore, there is no
question but that Hooverizing is do
ing very large part toward winning
the war. But even Mr.. Hoover is Ii
able to make a mistake occasionally
For instance, his order to the bakers
requiring them to limit the amount OF
bread they put out, is evidently ar
error, even though honestly made. His
plan is that the housewives should
bake their own bread when they are
unable to secure supply from the
bakeries, How can such a methot
conserve the consumption Of flour
Surely the baker can be as economical
in the use of flour as can the house
wife. The Times is of the opinion
that such regulation should be
changed, in the interest of actual con
servation of flour.
Your satisfaction is our chief care
Of course we are in business to make
money, but the only way we expect Il
do that is by having entirely satisfied
customers. If you have a kick an!
time, remember that we welcome it,

SAYS Won BURIAN

AMSTERDAM, July 1I.-Baron Won
Burian, the Austro-Hungarianf foreign
minister. in a note addressed to the
Austrian and Hungarian premiers, is
quoted in a dispatch from Vienna as
saying:
There lie hardly any difference be-
tween the general principles enunci-
ated by the statesmen of both bel
Hgerents. President Wilson's four
new points of July 4 shall not, apart
from certain exagEeration. arouse our
opposition.
"on the contrary, we are able to
approve them heartily to a great ex-
tent Nobody would refuse homage
TO this genius and nobody would re-
fuse his cooperation. This, however,
Is not the main point. but It is what
can also be understood in the inter
ests OF mankind. Both groups should
certainly honestly attempt TO clear
this Up and settle IL by mutual agree

LONDON. July lone. Of the chief

mans NTH and the most ambitious drive
this year is the great Improvement in the
allied intelligence work since the previous
enemy effort This Is due largely to our
seadIly growing aerial superiority, which
renders even partial surprise at thiI
time impossible.
Not only was the general locality. but
almost the exact frontage Of the pros
pective attack long known. enabling the
most effective counter preparations
among which was the massing OF suf
hcient reserves without denuding the
lines to the north.
In these preparations the extent OF the
American participation cannot now be
entirely revealed.
Even IL the present offensive 8 merely
checked, instead OF definitely held, II
must so far be considered an inglorious
defeat, inasmuch- as despite the length
lest and most elaborate preparations,
none OF the German detectives have
been achieved.

negotiations and they could have
contributed their share in bringing
, them to q different issue. But now,
when IL Is too. late, their criticism
stands on weak grounds, for there ID
no legal right which would have en-
titled them to condemn the peace con-
ditions which were acceptable to the
contracting parties or which could
not be avoided
"From the confident utteFances Of
our opponents 1t appears they have no
fear of being defeated II they. new
ertheless. represent the peace treaties
as a warning of our treatment OF a
defeated enemy we do not consider
the reproach justified.
None of the belligerent states
need ever come into the position of
Russia and Roumania. as we are ever
ready to enter into peace negotiations
with all our opponents.
Aspiration Of Teutons' Enemies
ain the midst Of the terrible strug-
gle, and in every phase OF this war Of
successful defense. the central pow
ers have had no other aim in view
but to secure the enemy's viii to
peace.
aIf we sum up all that has been
said on the enemy's- side IN regard to
their war aims we recognise three
groups of aspirations which are being
set forth to justify the continuation
of blocdshed so that the ideals of
mankind may be realized.
1.-THE freedom of all nations which
are to form a league of nations and
which in future shall settle their DIFF
ferences by arbitration and not by
arms is to reign
'"rhe domination Of one nation by
another nation Is to be excluded.
Various territorial changes are to
be carried out at the expense of the
central powers
These annexationists' aims, though
variously shaped are generally
known
Seek to Disrupt AustFis-Hungary.
The intention, however. also exists,
especially in regard to ,Austria-Hun-
gary, to carry out her internal disin-
tegration for the purpose OF the for
nation of new states. Finally, our
opponents demand our atonement be-
cause we dared to defend ourselves.
and successfully. against their at
tacks. Our ability to. defend our
selves is termed militarism. and must
therefore be destroyed.
Territorial aims are, in fact. the
only things now separating the diff
ferent belligerent groups.

Austro Hungarian Minister vor
Burian's peace chatter was drowned
out today by the roar Of big guns.
Officials paid no attention to it,
considering it only more Teuton
propaganda. and said that 1t con-
tAined nothing of interest to America
or her allies
America is prepared to fight on
for peace. and is in no mood to bark
en- to Teuton propaganda now. It
was stated emphatically.
Incidentally, British cables told Of
troubles between Turkey and Bull
garia, which are embarrassing the
central powers. and perhaps. in a
measure. explain the Austrian peace
talk. The new Malinov ministry in
Bulgaria has failed to compose diff
ferenees over Turkey. and there is
growing suspicion of Turkeys aims

The entente, however, discovered its
sympathy in our internal affairs so
late that many an enemy statesman
who now pirates about the monarchy's
national questions as a war Sain>had
probably no idea of their existence at
the beginning aOf the war.
This fact can be recognized from
that amateurfsh and superficial man
