the devoted head of Mr.. Burleson.
Letters from home about the biggest
th'ng IN the average American soldiers
life IN France nowadays. Merely as means
OF maintaining American morale at the
highest pitch the government should see
that he gets them promptly"
The following is from "The Columbus
Dispatch:
1T is exasperating and depressing not to
De able to hear promptly from the bows in
the army. And nearly every time one does
hear from them there is COMPLAINT IN
the part of the soldier that he can't .bo,r
from the home folks-which is even mora
exasperatlng and depressing. In the mean.
time the authorities assure US that better
postal arrangements are being perfected"
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger"
calls attention to some of the cases mar
rated by Mr.. Kahn, and then writes:
Moreover, the tragic fact is already
coming out that many of those already
Killed never had the comfort of hearing
from home before they passed away. the
letters sent them now coming back to this
country unopened and marked Deceased.
Verified by the Registration Bureau, etc
Under the circumstances the folks at home
and the boys at the front can easily stand
little less oratory about the things needed
to stiffen the morale if only the soldiers,
mail can be expedited. 1t ought not to be
possible any longer for returning Americans
to tell such stories as Mr.. Kahn does. which
can be duplicated by every one who has
tried to get in touch by mail with the mon
over there"
THE Kansas City Journal" draws at
tentlon to the fact that there is no dis
crlmlnation against the common soldiers
IN favor of the officers, and tells of
case where the first fifteen letters sent
by the wife of colonel to her husband
tailed to reach him and he received only
six out of thirty" This paper thinks
that certainly there is reasonable
ground for complaint that it should re-
qulre many weeks, and more often
months, to get letter to or from SOL
dler whose address must be either known
or ascertainable."
Under the circumstances detailed here
much satisfaction has been caused by
General Pershing's recent announce
ment that "plans have been perfected
which, it is confidently hoped, will IA
cllltate the receipt of mail by the SOL
dlers at the front, as we'll as by their
friends and relatives in this country"

~ Keynotes

"The Salt Lake Herald" thinks shat
Lloyd George "has the happy faculty of
sounding the keynote in the difficult sit
uations Of war;" and says further:
"The victory cry of Lloyd George is as
sane as his war cry was determined In
the midst of disappointments, when battles
were fought against terrific odds and all
ahead seemed dismal, the courage Of Lloyd
George stood forth he admonished his
people to Go on or go under No less i'm
presslve is his message to the people of
Great Britain when that cloud has lifted
and everything before them beckons to
brighter times. Hold fast is the same adj
vice the British Premier offers to his peo-
pie when the prospects of victory are
brighter than ever before"
"The Wilmington Morning News" has
this comment to make upon the "Hold
fast" motto:
ut is message to be heard by the peo~
Pile of other nations fighting Germany.
Steady and hold fast! 1t is the long null
and strong pull The tide has turned
against Germany.
1.-THE Premier is holding fast to win.
He is holding fast to see that the fruits Of
victory shall not be barren fruits, that the
fruits shall be a world set free from war.
The supreme sacrifices are being made for
that ultimate purpose"
Lloyd Georges message, says "The
Philadelphia Inquirer
will arouse sympathetically responsive
thrill throughout the world. It's burden is
Hold fast and although that exhortation
was not needed, it will unquestionaby be
needed"
Some of the papers are especially i'm
pressed with the achievements of Great
Britain in the war, as described by Llovd
George. Among these is "The Baltimore
American" which writes:
"The heads of all lovers of freedom are
bowed in reverence before the task of the
British. The description by the British
Premier of the designs of the Germans
against the English and the failure Of these
designs because Of overconfdence and un-
derestimating the strength and resources

"The spirited little Welsh statesman
might have been talking to Americans as
we'll as Britishers. His message means as
much to as to them-perhaps more,
since we are less experienced in holding
fast.
"The hold fast message is for the Brit
ish people, not the British army. Its mean
ing is for Americans at home, not for Amer
lean soldiers 1t is for the people at home
in all the. Allied countries to hold fast when
the helmeted Hohenzollerns, at last con-
WINGED that their conceit of world dynasty
cannot be gained by violence, turn again
to guile for escape from justice this time
and freedom to try again in the future"
And "The Dayton Journal" said:
"The pungent phrase in Lloyd Georges
recent speech was Hold fast Above the
battle clouds he sees the sun of victory
rising. He called to the warriors of free
nations to hold fast; and that is what they
will do"

Y0U do all you can to keep cool, of

You turn on the fan, sip iced drinks.
But how about Fido? In "The Indepen-

Reserve Board, and adds:
mo one, during the long period of dis
cussion prior to the law of December, 1918,
which decreed the Federal Reserve system,
had written more clearly and cogenty on
the proper machinery for such a reformed
banking system than Mr.. Warburg, and his
practical and undogmatic presentation of
Its necessities as he saw them had much
weight in shaping the final deliberations
OF Congress. .. The prestige and au-
thority which the board now enjoys as a
balance-wheel in American banking during
war time is largely due to him.
After promising that any attacks that
might be made upon Mr. Warburg by
reason of his German birth, as both he
and the President agree, "would be base
less and represent nothing but narrow
prejudice, or at best hysteria, "The New
York Globe" writes thus:

THE war has done something to
the profession Of journalism be-
"a sides subjecting journalists to
the temptation of alien gold, and
most of the observers who comment on
the changes punctuated by the sale of
"The New York Evening Post" and
"The Louisville Courier-J ournal," both
famous in the newspaper history of
America, write with an air Of watchful-
ness for a further metamorphosis in the
field Of daily news writing. Henry Wat

on his own profession, remarks on re-

none Of US where we are" "The Boston

Letters That Crawl

ME delay in the delivery Of SOL
diers' mail to the expeditionary
n army is again up for discussion
in the press, after the matter
had been the subject of many an edi-
torial during recent months. Attention
has recently been called to the matter
again in an interview with Otto H. Kahn.
the New York banker, upon the occa-
sion of his return from Europe He re-
ported that the delay in soldiers mails
was a REALLY serious grievance"-about
the only one that he had heard in talk
ing with our boys on the other side.
The United States Senate also recent
ly discussed the matter, after having
previously passed resolution to make
inquiry of the Postmaster General as to
why letters to our soldiers abroad are
not promptly delivered TO this Post
master General Burleson sent an answer
disclaiming responsibility for the delay.
In this discussion Senator Hiram John
son, of California, related the case of
soldier personally known to him; he "did
not receive single letter each month
from his people, although they wrote
him four times week, and he cabled
in distress to know what had happened
to his people at home"
The following contribution toward
enlightening the public about mail con-
ditlons has just been made by "rhe
Memphis Commercial Appeal:
Letters from Memphis to civilians in
Paris go through promptly The writer
has letter in his hands from a soldier
which has been on the road for six weeks.

This paper calls the failure Of the
Postoffice Department scandal.

that 1.-The papers of a thousand towns
are printing letters from soldier bows in

complaining about the breakdown of

to say:

THE War After
4 the War

The most significant remark in Lloyd
Georges speech is found by "'The Okla
homa Oklahoman' in his words about i'm
posing sterner economic terms upon Ger
many the longer the war lasts. 1t writes
concerning this aspect:
"Thau German junkerism will seize upon
it as another evidence of Great Britain's
implacabe hatred for Germany, and en-
ploy it as the theme for another impas-
stoned appeal to stand by the fatherland
goes without saying. Nevertheless, the
force Of this ultimatum ought to reach the
intelligence of Germany"
1.-The Chicago News" indorses Lloyd
Georges rejection Of the idea of league
of nations without first having defeated
Germany, and draws these conclusions:
ut follows that the war must continue
until Prussianism is defeated and utterly
dlscredited. If the German people awaken
and overthrow the Hohenzolern DYNASTY
and the militarstic pedestal on which It
rests, we'll and good. If terrorism and
false teaching keep the German people in
subsection then the free, democratic nations
must remoSe the menace to the worlds
liberty and progress without the aid of that
ensavcd, war mad nation. Force as Presi
dent Wilson has said, must be employed to
that end without stint in the cause of law
justice and righteousness.

required to place the responsibility for the
prolongation of the war where it belongs.

plicity. Who can fail to be en-
Unused at the task Of the British and its
magnificent performance"
After referring to the self-restraint
of the British under past reverses and
the prospect that they ere now about to
reap the reward for their tenacity, "The
Baltimore Sum- wrote thus:
eco to it, brave old Britannia, and may
the Lord give power to your arm. The
world cheers you Your cockneys, your
yeomanry, your Scotchmen, your Canadians
and Australians represent fine breed
of dauntless fighters as ever dashed IN
afraid into the jaws of death and hell"
"Britain's role in this war;" said "The
Charleston News and Courier" "has
been the role of a giant. 1t could have
been performed only by great people.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech was not need
ed to apprise informed and unprecedented
Americans of these things, but it is we'll,
nevertheless, that they should be recalled
to our minds at this time
The splendid response of the British
colonies to the imperial appeal especially
impreses "The Philadelphia Inquirer"
which describes it as
"a spontaneous and ungrudging acknowl-
edgment of the benefits which had been con-
ferred upon them by the enlightened lib
erality of the British rule, and it serves as
convincing and impressive demonstration
that IN their experience the British govern
ment had systematically and consistently
applied those great principles of justice and
self-determination for which it is now con-
tending"

NJ OF Hold Fast" but
l Go Through"

"The Providence Journal" on the
other hand, is not wholly satisfied with
the "Hold fast" motto and suggests an
American improvement upon it:
ut may be just the psychological mes
sage for war-worn nation after four wears
of fighting, but it is not the motto we must
adopt for ourselves. We are strong and
unwearled. We have scarcely felt the
rigors of war. Our sacrifices do not COM
pare with those of our Allies. The might
OF our armed hosts is only commencing to
tell in Europe. We are just beginning to
tight The message for the American peo-
pie to-day is not Hold fast but Go
through"
But "Hold fast! is the slogan that
will win, says "The Detroit News
"Why shouldn't the Allied peoples hold
fast? Their programme is the same that
it was at the beginning of the year. The
German programme has been smashed.
The Central Powers can continue to hold
out, but the prospect before them is hope
less"
The Ohio papers appear to have been
especially captivated by the new watch
word. 'The Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune" says of it:
1T is a good motto for any people at anv
stage. Just now it has an especial appeal
to each nation of the Entente and to the
United States of America"
After quoting the "Hold fast" passage
from the speech "Thc Cleveland News

''HOLD FAST!"
LLOYD GEORGES speech before
the House Of Commons on

LLOYD GEORGES speech before
the House of Commons on
- Thursday, August 8, reviewing
the history of the war, outlin-
ing the present military situation and
forecasting the further course of the
war, has been most favorably received in
this country. It's confident and even
optimistic tone is especially commented
upon. His crisp "Hold FAST" has been
singled out by not few editors as the
appropriate motto for the whole speech,
and a number of editorials are based
upon that one phrase.
An inspiring message" is what 1.-THE
Scranton Republican" calls the speech.
1t says further:
"The stalwart spokesman of Great Brit
ain at this moment is Lloyd George, whose
message just issued to the British Empire,
Hold fast!' is permeated with the thrill of
optimism"
Lloyd Georges slogan is regarded by
"The Boston Evening Transcript" as an
exhibition of 3 o'clock in the morning
courage" and it approves the emphasis
he laid on the unselfsh ends of the AL
lies warfare thus:
"1n Lloyd Georges message the piety of
the Allied nations is asserted in the
thought and the will of right and of the
love of man. This is the modern mans
prayer-the prayer of sacrifice in the ser
vice of humanity The appeal of the Ka-
ser, reeking with barbarous ip-devotion, is
in reality an appeal to Ball.

TRADES DISCUSSED BY MOGULS PRIOR
 10 BIG MEETING
Committee Appointed to Solve War Tax Problem. National Commission
 Will Meet Today

Cincinnati, January 7.-Trades and then more trades were discussed by the score of baseball magnates in town to- day to attend the national commission meeting here tomorrow, but no trades re- suited from the discussions insofar as close observation could tell tonight
 At an informal meeting of the Ma tional league members the subject of war taxes proved to be the most interesting topic. Previous to the meeting, Presi- dent Tener had appointed a committee consisting of Secretary John Heydler of the league, John Foster of New York, and Walter Hapgood of the Boston club to consult with government officials rela- tive to the payment of war taxes on passes to baseball games At the meet ing this committee was empowered to widen its scope and to include the entire war tax problem as it will concern base ball
 For the sake Of convenience, the Ma tional league originally desired to charge 10 cents war tax for passes. Inasmuch as pass is rated as Recent seat, the government officials refused to agree to accept more than 10 per cent of this amount At the meeting today it was definitely agreed that only 10 per cent of each ticket sold we'll as each pass given would be charged for war tax but the committee was instructed to consult the government officials and then map out the best possible system to collect this tax, without inconvenience to the public
 The old federal league peace agreement likewise came up at the meeting of the National league members. A representa-
