Government Owned Telephones.

Isaac Macrossen, in the Saturday
Evening Post, describes the endless red
tape that clogs business in France.
The American who tries to have tele-
phone installed in his home in Paris ap-
proaches the proceedings with prayer
and trembling. First of all he makes
application to the minister Of Posts and
Telegraphs. In order to fill out this
application he is required to present an
affidavit setting forth the fact that his
landlord has no objection to the tele-
phone being installed. After a long
delay the anxious subscriber obtains
permission from the ministry to buy a
telephone instrument, for in France
you have to buy your own equipment.
Then he is requested to apply to the
telephone company FOR service. After
the company has assured itself of the
moral character and desirability of the
applicant, be is permitted to hire cleo
tricians to install the telephone in his
home. But this is not the END of his
troubles for it only makes the begin
ming OF them because the French cleo
tricians. like the American plumber,
does not regard time as the essence of
all contracts, and the Lord only knows
when their work will be completed
many hope before the close of the war.

WAR CONDITIoNssIN EUROPE.
Discussed by An Eye Witness Just Re
turned From Western Front.

turned From Western Front.
A large attendance was intensely in
terested in an address given by Mr.. E.
F. Trefzlat the high school auditorium
on Monday evening. The speaker had
recently returned from France on a
mission of investigation by the govern
ment and was able to present condi-
tions that came under his observation
in most entertaining manner. The
inhuman methods of the German war
fare were depicted in an almost unbe-
lievable manner. He also drew fav-
orable comparison between the equip
ment and rations of the American with
the French troops.
The American soldiers realize that
this war is wonderfully and craftily
scientific and although they have not
proved themselves so efficient in the
use of the machine-gun, they are noted
for their quick bayonet work. They
are being splendidly fed, they have the
best medical assistance and are well
satisfied, Notwithstanding the fact that
they have many little hardships to en-
dure. Do you suppose this bothers our
men? No indeed. They have come to
make the world safe for democracy and
didn't anticipate comfortable job.
In the opinion of the speaker, we
should have entered the war long be-
fore we did. We agreed that we would
protect Belgium. We laid down on our
Job after the sinking of the Lusitania.
Why? Because we were not ready to
fight. We had but rs ships avail
able in 1914. A great deal has been
accomplished, however, in six short
months. Mistakes have been made,
but they will not be made again.
Now is the time for us to work. We
must think war, talk war and act war.
We are going to win-but when? Not
until every man, woman and child
makes this war his or her own concern.
ANY man or woman who is not poorer
at the end of this war will not have
done his or her duty. The nation that
cracks last is the nation that will win.
We are far from winning. Germany's
time to win is past. She might have
won by making severe drives just be-
fore the United States entered when
France was so near the cracking point.
We shall have to win by breaking
through the trenches. The United
States will have to send from two to
five million men. We must get to Ber-
lin and demand unconditional surrender
or Germany will be waging another war
before we have time to recuperate.
France needs cereals and all kinds of
food. Our boys need pig-fat. They
need it to eat. They need it to soften
their hardened boots, and to rub on
their bodies to protect them against the
cold water in which they are compelled
to wade. France hasn't food enough
for her own men not considering ours.
We must send everything we possibly
can. We must raise more food and
save more food. Take off your hats to
Uncle Sam and help hin1-NOW.

the meeting with music.
