Federal Wires

The President by proclamation assumes
possession, control and operation of all
the telephone and telegraph facilities in
the country for the duration of the war,
and then Immediately delegates those re-
sponsibilities to the Postmaster General.
who, in turn, is authorized to perform his
duties through the owners and managers
and existing organizations for so long and
to such an extent as he will. This is the
outcome Of dispute between the tele-
graph companies and some of their en-
ployes. The National War Labor Board
awarded the employees the right to or
game; the companies, mainly the West
ern Union, obstinately refused to recog-
nlze that right as some of the EMPLOYEES
urged 1t, and strike was imminent-was
actually voted by the telegraphers The
government asked for time to get a bill
through Congress, which took only few
days; and now, under the terms thereof,
the government is in possession of the
telegraph and telephone companies, and
the employees are transferred at one
stroke from the category Of private in
dustry to that of Federal service.
The right to organize, which the teleg-
raphers were going to strike for, is per-
haps gained; but the right to strike has
been lost. Federal telegraphers cannot
go on strike. They are in effect mohilized
for the duration of the war.
The emergency which brought this new
experiment to pass was quite unneces-
sary; there is, indeed suspicion that
one side was deliberately obstinate. in
tending to force the governments hand
No doubt in any similar case the govern
ment's hand can be forced again: but
each time it happens we shall be remind
ed that the labor problem is still what it
has been always, that what is called the
governments labor policy is largely an
illusion and that all the great solutions
are being postponed until after the war.
The government seeks by arbitration to
keep labor contented, busy, patriotic and
well paid, and when it fails in this it can
take over both the property and the
workers and defer the reckoning.
The Postmaster Generals statement is
full of good, strong sense. He promises
nothing beforehand and is willing that
government control shall be judged by it's
results. So it will be. And we wish Mr..
Burleson success.

The Cavalryman Comes Back

We are told from Washington that
General Foch has been using cavalry on
large scale in the last three months.
Positional warfare put cavalry out of
business. Many mounted regiments were
converted into infantry and sent into the
trenches. The old sarcasm, "Who ever
saw dead cavalryman?" thereby lost it's
bite, just as it lost it in our Civil War
when Sheridan trained his cavalrymen to
dlsmount and to fight as infantrymen.
Cavalry used to be the elite of the
tghtlng forces. They furnished the
pomp,' pageantry and dramatic move
ment of war. They continued the tt adj
tion of the medieval knight on horse
back. But modern artillery and machine
guns have made an anachronism of the
employment of massed bodies of horse
men on the battle line. They could ride
only to slaughter. So in the first wears
OF this war it looked as if the long roll
had been sounded for the cavalryman,
except as patrol or for occasional use
IN keeping in touch with an enemy in re-
treat.
The magnificent, spectacular cavalry
charge is thing of the past. HISTORY
has celebrated the brilliant charges Of
Won Bredow's German cavalry at Mars
la-Tour and of Gallifet's French cavalry
at Sedan. Such exploits are out of the
picture in this war But recently. since
the warfare of positions has given wav to
the warfare of movement, General Foch
has been finding new and practical use
tor mounted troops. His cavalry corps
have been constituted mobile reserve to
be hurried ahead of infantry to points
where the defence has been weakened or
has temporarily yielded ground.
Thus, the stabilization of the defence
before Montdidier at the time of the first
Ludendorff offensive was achieved large
ly through the employment of a French
cavalry division, dismounted and cover
ing the organization of the infantry on
line further back. French cavalry were

Pharmacists in the Arrnv

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Moblizing Medical
Men, does not fully explain the reason for
the lack of medical men in our army and
navy. There now are a great many pbvsi-
clans in the service who are doing the work
of skilled Pharmacists If the Edmunds bill
to provide pharmaceutical corps should
become law it would release these phvsi-
clans from the pharmaceutical work thew
are doing, and their medical and surgical
knowledge could be used to greater ad-
vantage.
AS loyal American it is your duty to
inform the public of this new measure fha,
they may urge their representatives to vote

Men Advise Pants

The State Industrial Commission is a
body with broad powers, but it has it's
limitations and recognizes them. In
respect of most working conditions it
lays down the law and enforces it against
vlolators. But when it comes to the
women who have flooded industry since
the war-there it merely recommends"
1t is about to insert into the code the fol-
lowing provision:
at is recommended in relation to
female operatives that where their hair
is IN danger Of being caught in moving
machinery they shall wear caps or hair
nets; that where their clothing is in
danger of being caught in moving machin-
cry they shall wear pants; that they
wear shoes with low heels"
There is a grave discretion about this
which cannot be too highly commended.
1t would be a rash set of men who would
undertake to tell women what they must
wear. Even the Federal government,
which is deeply concerned about the
effect of clothes on the war, has only
taken tiny step along that route by
telling them that they may not wear
shoes over eight inches in height.
pants" may be recommended; indeed,
they may even be sensible and desirable.
But unless the State Industrial Commits
sion can manage to persuade the opera
tlves with whose safety they are con-
cerned that these garments are the
proper new style for factory wear they
will have had the trouble of writing the
new code provision for their pains.

No Let-Up on the U-Boats!

The first shells from a German U-boat
have struck American shores, and within
sight and sound Of the shore four Amer-
can boats have been sunk , In June a
U-boat captain off the Jersey coast an
nounced that 'in July we shall return
in force"
Without knowledge of all this, Sir
Eric Gcddes, First Lord of the Admiralty,
gave an interview to the correspondent
of the Times" warning us that we must
not settle down to Comfortable atti-
tude regarding the submarine" AL
though the submarine "is held" Sir Eric
goes on to say that:
whether it definitely ceases to
be an important war factor depends
on the extent to which the effort
against it is sustained 1t will never
be entirely eliminated"
More than a month ago Admiral Sims
likewise warned US against overconfi-
dence, and now the farseeing engineer
at the head of the British navy renews
his former significant statement by say
ing that I'VE must reckon on an increased
effort and counter against it. The
slightest relaxing on our part might be
followed by serious consequences"
Let us not forget that the subma-
rine is still sinking more ships than
America shall probably be able to turn
out this year. 1t is still the deadliest
weapon that the German possesses.

rector of Mississippi:
Washington, d. c.. War Saw
ings Stamp sales today passed fifty
million dollar mark and sales have
been running at the rate of more
than two million a day. The steady
growing volume of sayings placed at
the service of the nation by millions
of citizens is splendid evidence of
OF your effective work. Business as
usual is a wholly wrong theory in
war times; it is only by teaching the
people to save and not to compete
for labor and materials with the
government that we can put the
whole strength of the nation into
this war. This is not only our most
important contribution to the war,
but it is the sure way to raise the
required money. In the next few
weeks We and our entire organiza-
ton of nearly two hundred thousand
workers must make il our common
purpose and resolve to spread this
