The annual report of the Postmaster General show a surplus expenses of nearly $2O00000O for the last year-more than twice any previous surplus anC this does include any revenue on account of the increased post e charges purposes and turned over to the War Department about $45,000,000 more The postoice revenues excluding the money received on account of for purposes, showed an increase over the previous year of - per cent and the increased cost of tbc Department was onl! i.56 per cent.
 This is a good showing in economical administra- tion-particularly in time of war when costs have advanced rapidly and so much.
 Aside from the facts got from these figures the most noteworthy things touched on by the Post master General s report are the Government owner ship of the telegraphs and telephones and the in troducon of mail airplane service. The Postmaster General says the Government management of the telegraph and telephone lines assumed by the Gov ernment as a measure, has proved entirely sats- ernment ownership of the systems that the man agement may be permanent
 The Postmaster General also gives unqualified ap proyal to the proposed airplane mail service, and says is the nteption Of the Department to intro duce extend the service It is proposed to havc an arpane service from New York to the Pacific Coast and ano her from New York to Key West, with connecting links supply Cincinnati Cleveland St. Louis, Minneapolis, St. Paul New Orleans and other centers.

SHOOTING OF
 SIGNS ON ROADS
 TO BE STOPPED
Reward Will Be Given by the Road Commission for Evidence Leading
 to Conviction.

Jack Hayes, superintendent of Federal Road building in Southeast ern Alaska, says a reward will be paid for evidence leading to the con viction of any one found shooting at signs which the Government place along the roads to warn automobiles to blow their horns at dangerous turns.
 Some of those travelling the roads seem to think that the signs were put up especially for target practice and they are soon riddled until they fall to pieces. It costs the Govern ment money to put them up and maintain them.
 "A little innocent amusement is all right" said Mr Hayes, but it is even an offense to fire off fire arms on the Government roads and we have determined to put stop to it.'

The War as a Memory.
( Cincinnati Enquirer.) )

Cincinnati Enquirer.)
 It requires almost violent mental effort to realize that the war is a matter of history; that it be longs to the category of events the Persian War, the Peoponnesian War, the Saracenc Wars, the Wars of the Roses, the Revolutionary War; the Ma poleonic War, the Civil War. It is no longer being carried on; it is finished. It is nothing but a matter of memory It has taken it's place in the long and complicated series of finished events which com the story of the life of man upon this planet.
 "The is over At certain hour on the 11th day of November and at a certain minute, the clock ticked and the terrible conflict between than two score of armed nations ceased as if by magic. Somebody had fired the last shot, the last soldier had been slain, the last tank had groveled through the mud, the last arship had downed it's antagoist in the sky the last submarine had stabbed it's victim in the they are only echoes, for the lightning flash has passed, the bolt has struck, All that remains is the rolling of the storm cloud and the dying of the roarings
 It is that the treaty of peace has not been signed, but the flames cannot be kndled from the maining coals. The forces which produced the ter rible explosion more be reassembled and re- charged than those of bursted bomb. The war is over! That inevitable "fnis" which is appended to the close of this the greatest of them all. Once the past has engufed the in it's unsuitable
 
 The past is dead It has no resurrection Over it, far, at least the human mind con ceive, Almighty God exercise power. And as for man. how impotent is he! The Kaiser and his lords have made their footprints the sands of time and can no more them than those pre- historic birds which their careless feet upon the slowly hardening sands by the shore of the sounding sea. 'I have writ my name in water" Keats lament ed. They have writ their and deeds upon a scroll from which they can never be erased.
 And have the heroes who have died in the de- fense of liberty! The envious hand of Time cannot erase them. The envious tooth of Time de them
 How strange it seems that the four years horror has ended; that we cannot say of the it is but only that "it was;" that when think about it recall it only by effort of remembrance
 Yes, the war is memory, but what memory memory dastardly crueltes, infamous decepions of hours and days and months of dreadful apprehen- sion but also of heroic opposition, of indomable termination of selfsacrifce for liberty, for justice and for truth; of suddenly awakened hope, and finally of victory glorious to fill the world with joy.

CONsCRIpTION.

In spite of a well defined admiration for Winston Churchill and confidence in his soundness of judgment we do not aeree with his proposal that conscrpton be done away with means of raising armies Tn case they are needed. A conscriped army-or as we put it in this country, selected army-is a demo- cratic army, peoples army. volunteer army is not always a representative army. There are very frequently too many soldiers of fortune in it, too many people setklug to make reputations, too many spotlight ehasfIs Therefore, such army, or the prospect of such army, breeds wal makers People

PUTTING SULZER ACT INTO EFFECT.

The Commissioner of the General Land Office has issued circular letter under authority of the Suzer Act which provides for the free survey of home steads in Alaska.
 The law and regulations make it so that any per son making a showing the local land office that he has made such compliance with the terms of the homestead the matter of residence, cultivation and improvements as to justify the submission of three-year proof his claim, supported by afdavts of witnesses the land office officials will advise the Surveyor General and he will not later than the next surveying season, order survey of the home stead, free of all cost to the homesteader.
 The final proof may then follow.
 This law should encourage the taking of home steads in Southeastern Alaska and such other DOT tions of the Territory have not been regularly sur veyed. It will hasten the granting of patents, and making homesteading far less expensive to settlers.
