 Postmaster General Burlesen laps un power as cat laps up cream. During the war the telephone and telegraph lines were seized by his department as war measure. Now, I-after the war,-the cables are. seized too as a war measure. It is hard to imagine more ridiculous act of
 bad faith with the nation.

PERU AND CHILE.

Although it would seem that there had been war enough in the world in she past four years for these nations which have escaped it to want to keep away from the attending conditions. hut such does not appear to be the sase from the situation which is apparently developing in South America between Peru and Chile. In- stead of being guided by the exper- snces of others those countries are apparently anxious to have a fling af their own. and all because they are not willing to come to an agreement on a sensible method of settling their dispute.
 Thirty-fire years ago these tWs countries were involved in a war with the result that Chile took two Peru vian provinces and later the nitrate fields of Bolivia. It was under. / rod, however, that the people of th, e- ravian provinces. like those of Schleswig when it was taken from Denmark by Germany. were to be el- lowed to decide for themselves wheth+ CT they preferred to be unGer the con trol Of the Peruvian or Chilean gov ernments. but as if the Prussian ex- ample had been in mind at the tims and ever since that privilege has never Teen extended.
 It has never been possible to reach any agreement as to the manner in which such a popular vote should hs taken and the consequent result is that they have remained Chilean prov : inces. Protests from Peru nave made no difference but now Peru believes .that 1t is entitled 10 a readjustmeuI Snd that the time is ripe to get il while so much is being said about ths self determination of peoples. It is most unfortunate, however. that bloodshed should be threatened when it - would seem that such a matter cught 10 be amicably adjusted and ii undoubtedly could be if there was q disposition to see right prevail.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Service. Anpreciated.

Mr. Editor In the exciting times of war, when we read of the brave deeds the American boys have done over there, we sometimes forget those at home, that do as faithful service here. We want to express our appreciation Of the fine service that Ir. and Mrs. Ireland the telephone operators at Lebanon, give us. We have heard from many subscribers very warm words of praise for their work. We were especially pleased at the fine way he handled the situation wsen Mrs. Grace Pecllham's house was on fire early Sunday morning by notify ing all the neighbers, Some people seem to think because telephone oper- ators are public servants that they should take all rhe abuse that people see fit to give them and never get any praise. We understand some ot the trials of telephone operators and never abuse them. Our present epsra- tor has shown that he is not only sr operator but also our friend.

MUST CARE FOR RUSSIA.

Russia has for some time furnished big problem for. the allied nations and everything points to the fact that it will continue 10 exist for some time 10 come. Certainly the situation in that great country today does not in dicate any immediate settlement of it's difficulties as much as that may be desired by Russia itself and the coun- tries which are genuinely interested in its welfare.
 It is therefore going to be no small job 10 take care of Russia's interests in the coming peace conference. The allies are as yet in a state of war with the bolshevik government there. It is not to he supposed therefore that it F'ill get any representation at the psace table. and it is a problem to de- termine just what authority exists there today which can get recegni- tion with the feeling that it will con t.nue and not be overthruwn bsforc the signatures to the peace agreement are dry.
 It is not to be expeci'd that Russia will be overlooked. Any prayincial council will not be called upon to state what Russia should have for its uwn good or fo- its protection frem thpse who may be looking upon it as stamping ground for further depre- Cations. Just what action will be taken 1t is impossible to say, but there Is good reason for believing that an agreement will be reached by the con. ference delegates which will impose upon them the obligation of seeing that it's provisions are carried out and tnat the future of Russia will bt taken care of and assured in the salat way that 1t is planned ts have ths league of nations take care of the fu. ture peace of the world.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

It is not surprising that war or ders are being cancelled. In some sections it is surprising the govern
 nent should continue with certain work now going on. As to the prob lem of labor there is work enough for everyone and the fear of bol- sherik uprisings in this country. fol- iqWing what has taken place else where is ridiculous in the extreme. The United States is 2 saber natiqb,
 we threw our all into winning the into maintaining peace how that it is the watthword and the officials at Washington should be the first to start the nQVement. Militarism is q thing of the past. The quickest way to set back to natural conditions is for tne war and navy departments to get the millions now in service ir contemplation of a long drawn out war back to their home towns as quickly as possible. - Midd1etowr Press.

ty. The first rcpriece was until Ian.

A number of arrests, including
three Japanese, have been made,

WAR SUMMARY.

Count Won Hertling, the imperial
German chancellor, will address the
German reichstag today on foreign
affairs, probably with most atten-
ton to the Russian situation, and
the peace terms now offered by
Germany. The chancellor has not
yet replied to the recent war aims
statement of President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George, and if he
speaks he may take the opportunity
to state Germany'S case once more
Russia, as represented h. the boil
shevik government, has agreed to
the German peace terms for a sec
ond time within a week. After the
first agreement the bolShcviki de-
cided to fight, but the military ac-
tivity on their part apparently did
not halt by one step the German
invasion. Germany, as a result
of the bolshevik attempt to wage
war, increased her terms IN the last
peace ultimatum, which virtually
cuts off from Russian domination
all western territory added to Great
Russia since the time OF Peter the
Great
Except in Livonia and Esthonia,
where small detachments made
slight resistance, the Germans are
progressing unhampered along the
entire line from the Gulf of Fin
land to the Ukraine. In the north,
they are approaching Reval, the ma
val base, and in the south Minsk
is As miles behind the invading
troops. The bolshevik commander,
Ensign Krylenko, has asked the
German general staff if Russia's ac-
ceptance of peace terms does not
automatically revive the armistice
brokn a week ago by the German
advance on Minsk.
German reports say the internal
situation in Russia is most serious.
There has been no increase in the
tghtlng activity on the western and
Italian fronts. British troops have
repulsed German raiding parties in
the Ypres sector, while the artillery
has been active north of Arras. On
the French front, there have been
intnse artillery duels at several
points along the line from Verdun
to Switzerland.
Large troop movements behind
the German lines at night are re-
ported from the American sector
NORTHWEST of Toul. The artillery
bombardment there has been in
tense. Little damage was done by
the German gunhre. Attempts by
German patrols to reach the Amer
lean trenches were futile.

GRAIN.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Big receipts
had bearish effect today on the
corn market. Arrivals at Chicago,
Omaha, Milwaukee and Minneapolis
aggregated 1,742 cars, the largest
total yet on the crop. President
Wilson's action in shutting off any
likelihood of a higher guaranteed
price on wheat tended also to favor
the bears.
Oats gave way under general
pressure to sell. The same factors
which were effective in the corn
market discouraged the bulls in
oats. After opening 3-8 to rs cents
down with May SO IL to 81, price
continued to show a tendency to
sag.
Provisions fell with grain. Higher
quotations on hogs were ignored.
