CARRIERS NOT TO SORT
MAIL FOR APARTMENTS
Distribution of Letters Hereafter
to Be Made by House Clerks
or Phone Operators.

Beginning today, letter carriers will
no longer personally distribute mail in
the larger apartment houses of the
city. Arrangements have been enter
ed into by the city post office with
the mana gements of the various big
apartment buildings whereby clerks
or telephone operators will be in
charge OF the distribution.
Instead of spending nearly an hour
each trip to sort the mail and place
it in the proper mail boxes, as has
been customary at some of the larger
apartments, the carrier will turn over
the mail to the agent in the house, and
the latter will see to it's distribution
to the tenants.
This schenE will tighten the burden
of the carriers. hard pressed on ac-
count of war times, and will give
better service to the remainder Of the
carriers routes.
City post office officials expect to ex-
pand the scheme to take in all apart
ments which have a manager or tele-
phone operator on the premises. In
no cases, it is stated. will the mail be
turned over to janitorS.

THIEF AND MURDERER"
BEFORE PEACE TABLE
Germany's Fate, Says Rev. Lucius
c. Clark, Who Gives His Views
on What Terms Will Be.

"Terms of Peace" was the subject
OF sermon delivered by Rev. Luclus
c. Clark, pastor Of Hamline Methodist
Episcopal Church, last night. He gave
his views of how he thought Ger
many, the thief and murderer,
should be dealt with after she mas
been made fully to understand that
righteousness and peace go hand in
hand. as follows:
Germany shall not sit at the peace
table. She shall sit as the criminal
before the bar of justice waiting for
sentence. She has become an outlaw.
She is proven unworthy in matters of
truth, trust and confidence. She is
convicted criminal both as d thief
and :, murderer.
ITO provide against future outrages
like those committed by Germany,
peace must be preceded by court
officers who enforced the orders that
brought about the sinking of the
Lusitania and Red Cross boats. the
bombing of hospitals. the numbering
of nurses. the raping of Belgium and
other like atrocities. These officers
must be court-Inartialed and shot.
Disarmament will be the test OF
an honest peace. Germany must de-
mobilize her army and navy. In her
claim for protection the allies will
guarantee her people better protec-
ton than they have had. or can have,
under present rule. The allies will
undertake to garrison the cities OF
Germany as Germany has given them
the example i'll the past.
Germany shall no longer rule by
force. She must not again control her
colonies. She must restore Belgium
Rumania, Serbia and relinGuish all
claims on any parts of Italy, France
Poland and Russia. She must repay
and repair every injury and ruin she
has made as far as humanity possible
Palestine and Asia Minor shall be
free from Germany and the unholy
these twin powers of hell must nc
longer desecrate a foot Of the Holy
Land.
Until such time has elapsed as Ger.
many shall be purged of her awful
crimes she shall live as prisoner, or
her own soil by her own toll and witt
her own memories of the past. She
shall have no part in any commercial
or political league of nations. Made
in Germany shall be a barrier to the

HIGH MORAL PLANE FOR
SOLDIERS IN TRENCHES
Rev. D. A. Polling Says, Though
They Are "Stin Human" They
Live Clean Lives.

American soldiers in the trenches
are living on a higher moral plane
than are the civilians at home, Rev.
Daniel A. Polling, associate president

the World, told large audience at
vesper services on the El1ipse yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Polling said the Yankee was in
tensely human, had not acquired the
wings of angels and was still yulner-
able to temptation.
But do say said the clergyman n.
that he is living cleaner than any
similar sized body of men since the
time of Cromwelrs 1ronsides.'
Mr.. Polling said the Americans were
recognized as the hunor'sts OF the
trenches He spoke enthusiastically OF
the relations, of the Yankees with
their allies.
",They are finding a comra dcship IN

ASKS MILITARY SCHOOLS
INCLUSION IN new PLAN
Committee Urges War Department
to Widen Scope Of Enlist
ing Students.

The National Committee Of Patri-
otto Societies, in letter to the War
Department. has urged recognition Of
the standard military schools of the
country in the new plan for existing
students in higher institutions Of
learning.
The committee pointed out that
military schools Of the country were
a tremendous factor in furnishing the
Army with trained officers in the
early days Of the war, and that these
schools were practically the only
places for many years where the idea
of preparedness was kept alive.
The committee declares that the
schools have furnished thousands Of
officers to the United States Army
and large number to the Navy. In
the opinion of the committee the
military schools are better equipped
than are the small colleges to fit stu
dents to become efficient military men.

Pronouncing French.

To the Editor Of The Star.
wonder if DR.. Crane knows
French. I claim to be no very great
authority on it myself, but 1 can at
least point to number of errors in
DR.. Cranes article in Fridays Star.
He says that every syllable in
French should have equal stress and
that the reputed accent on the last
syllable is only seeming one.
think authorities agree that. while
the French syllable stress is COMPARE
lively even, there is still an appre-
cable extra stress on the last syl-
liable Of a word or phrase. Incidental
", this extra stress is real enough to
have had an important effect on the
words Of the language-as all stu
dents OF French irregular verbs
many of them never learned that this
was one Of the causes of their woes.
DR.. Crane says that AU and EAU
never have any sound except that of
our o in GO. The fact Is that one
sound Of AU, and incidentally the
French, is more open than our o in
GO and really comes fairly close to
the AW sound, which Dr.. Crane depre-
Gates.
The list of names given in DR..
Cranes article contains several dis
mere shades Of pronunciation, which
are hard to indicate in English. There
is no long o sound In Noyon: the first
syllable is pronounced nwah. The
nasal vowel in Lens and the second
nasal vowel in St Quentin are both
All and not o. To give an o value to
the nasal EN- is a dialectal variation
not sanctioned by any French au-
thority that l know OF. Also, the au-
thorities seem to agree that the final
S in Lens is silent. SO that the ap-
proxinate pronunciation is Lahyng.
and not Longce as DR.. Crane gives it.
Chipilly happens to be a new one to
nesE but it obviously should have
three syllables tShe-pee.yee) and not
wo tShe-peel. as it is printed in the
