An Incident of Government Couud|


Chicago Post.
The Post had a curious experiena
with government telegraph contrr
yesterday. 1t was small enough n
its way, but disquieting as sympI
tom.
Our political editor telephoned 4
from Springfield at 10:45 a. m. my
he was filing 5000 words to our o'o
flee via Postal telegraph. We y
once telephoned Postal te,cGrapI
for the matter and expedite It's al
livery. The Indifferent voice Of
manager" promised US this expo
dition.
The dry. flat indifference OF d
tone was disturbing. IN the old day
OF private operation there woGJ
have been eagerness and enterpn'
in the response.
Our fears at this preliminary w'tY
Justified. Despite constant tt
phone inquiries and requests,
dispatch received in Chicago
1886 a. m. was not delivered at o.
office. till 1919 p. m. Another m"v
sage filed at Springfield at lQ:ts 4
m. and received here at lLi
reached us at just o'clock. ~
when we attempted compliant
these facts the manager simpp
"hung up" tho telephone.
Such small annoyances are all pr
of the days work, OF course,
war times compel economies
the incident was disturbing not }
much in its display of inefficlen'
as IN its spirit
Is this flat indifference 10 go
service and this refusal ever to
ceive complaints for bad service
he characteristic of gOvernms
management OF telegraph lines. \
We fear so. Certainly this Wi y
the case II the public does not fIg
against the steady invasion OF
lazy ou-be-d--- spirit of bureasf
racy. The Post intends TO carry
little experience with governing
control up to the attention OF XII
master General Burleson. II Will
interesting to discover how far
subordinates' action here reflect
spirit of government control.

OPEN CONFESSION.

No striking confession of the unrepentant at
titude of the Huns be found than that which is
tanned in recent denial by German newspaper that
the submarine campaign has been failure. This
newspaper, the Deutsche TageszeitIEg, says:
Lloyd George and Geddes falsfy the losses of ships
plying in the military service ignoring socaed naval
auxiliary cruisers guard ships hospital ships and
probably also transports and munitions steamers
that is precisely that shipping which is
particularly exposed and attacked by Uboats
THAT is to say, hospital ship is merely so much
shipping space, which will require replacement from
other vessels in hand. and, consequently, will hamper
the allies in the transportation Of and material
IS regarded by the Germans entirely legitimate
sink them shipping space, of takes account
CT the humanities involved The word goes sink
ships, and ships to be spared.
Happily, not many hospital ships have been sunk.
That they have been too carefully guarded is the only
1t is nation with such policy this which
presently will hold up it's hands in vrtuous indignation
and panied protest because its enemies do take it
al its word when it processes to desire honorable
peace.
1t is curious demonstration of the state of mind
OF the Germans that the effort to the Uboat
pagn huge should take :he form of insisting
that hospital ships be enumerated among their victims

ON TO BERLIN.

"The Germans ere bruteS, and must be
treated as SUCH says MIR. Balfour and the rest
of the civilized world echoes "brutes" for the
truth of the statement cannot be questioned
They are mad brutes at that. So what is the
use of wasting time with then-Ch with the
work of determination. We cannot afford to
be patient with Germany any more than we
can afford to be with pack of mad dogs. They'll
get you if you give them chance. It's their
nature. They are brutes
What would we think of the beggar who
would demand aims and when about ready to be
favored would kill his intended benefactor. This
is about what Germany is doing today. She
knows she is licked and begs for q favor-armis-
lice and peace At TIE same time the brutes
are numbering inoffensiVe people on the high
seas, burning and devastating territory out of
which they are being forced; dsregarding all
laws of warfare and justice to mankind, Let
the work of determination proceed. On to Ber-
lin.
President Wilson says: Democracy must
go before we can have anal peace But why
must it so? Democracy may lead but the COM
mon brutes are willing followers; and one class
of brutes is no better than the other.
Surprising President Wilson would order
our army to butcher Unfortunately the inoffen-
country: would or army obey the order
Emphatically 80 Americans would rebel and
the leaders would suffer instead Not so with
the Germans because they are all alike-brutes

Wilson must be of the opinion that an armis-
tice would give the German army rest which
is just what it wants but should not have. Now
it would seem appropriate that an order be given
to keep on hammering away and keep the boches

tired brutes.

THEY RAISE 'EM THAT
~ CLEVER in THE WEST
BY FRANK J. TAYLOR
TIrf{o1 Dracc Tnrrocnan don't


With the American Army in
France, June 1S. (By Mail)-He
was lad who had grown up in the
woods of some western state, and
he knew everything about hunting
and trapping. His ability to crawl
around in the grass without being
seen was uncanny.
Early in the game he started
crawling through the barbed wire
into No Mans Land, and pretty soon
he had visited all the outposts of the
"Heinies'' near. lying hidden near
them until he got ready to come
back.
One day he reported to the lieu
tenant in charge of his "P. c."
Gimme a man who can crawl
around with ME, and we'll take that
nest of Heinies out there single hand
ed," he said.
,, They told him he was crazy. and
anyway they didn't have another man
who could crawl around the way he
could.
He was disappointed. Finally he
said, "Well, gimme chap who can
understand that Heinie chatter, and
weIl go out and listen to them. We
can get all the information you want.

Postmaster General A. s. Burleson
and David j. Lewis, who is to be
directly in charge of the wires un-'

A series Of conferences have been
held with Representatives of the COM

Steps are to be taken within g.

companies but in this the govern
