THE COMING STORM.

Postmaster General Burleson's re-
port to Congress shows Enthusiastically
the Department regards the increase
in second class mail matter as perm
anent legislation. and not as a war
revenue measure While the general
public may look for relief from high
postal rates after the war. the news
paper publishers have no such hope
to look forward to. This situation was
clearly forecast to country publish
ers by THE American Press" when
an effort was made to have postal leg
islation taken out OF the war revenue
bin and considered as special legisla-
ton. Many country publishers. how
ever, were misled into the belief that
the position taken by "The American
Press was i@orrect. and so they
stood firmly behind the plan to have
the zone system incorporated into the
war revenue bill.
Now there are indications that the
large publishing interests, most
seriously affected by the zone plan
will move to bring about rear
rangement OF rates with view to
forcing country publishers to bear
what they consider a fairer share Of
the expense OF second class mail car
'rying. and Mr.. Burleson does not seem
adverse 10 the idea Il was obvious
that such a condition would arise, and

who was promptly engaged by the de-

to drop her as early as last October.

General Wickersham, appointed by the
Mayor to work with her, resigned in a

Humiston were through
The immediate cause of her down
fall was the speech she made declar-

living near Camp Upton were about to
become mothers. and that seven of
them had died. Called on for proof,
she declined to give any; but she sent
man and a 16-year-old girl to Camp
Upton to register at the camp hotel.
If they had succeeded in doing SO, it
would have had - bearing whatever

been adroit camouhage, behind which
she could have raised such an uproar
that the original issue would have
been LOST. They did not succeed, be-
ing arrested by the military police,
whereupon her part in this diseredit-
able trick came out
1t is pretty evident, apart from this,
that Mrs. Humfston is no Sherlock

should have been warned by her be-

for the Federal Government One Of
the bankers came down TO Washing
lon to deliver it over to the secre-
tary Of the Treasury and was enter

among other ufterances was this;
Mr. Chase, you have now received
from the associated banks Of New
york the vast sum Of S50,000.0O0 We
earnestly hope that this sum win be
sufficient to end the war" Which
shows how little some people knew Of
the war in 1861 There are some who
know as little Of was in 1917.
