GOVERNMENT WASTE or PAPER.

In this Office We put aside all the pamphlets cireu
lars notices ETC. that were received last week from
the various departments bureaus, divisions. commits
8. committees. boards and officers OF the United
states government at Washington. At the end Of thc
week we weighed them. They weighed six and three
quarter pounds did include the Congressional
Record. which probably weighed two three pounds
in addition.
Many of these documents contained information
that might be value readers but adequate
examination OF them would probably required the
whole time of least and perhaps two and
when it had been made great deal Of editing and
arrangement would have been necessary in order
put facts furnished shape republication.
1t seems to that the War Economy Board and
George Creel might well turn their attention the
paper and money that is involved in the method
that the government follows in its publicity work
Creel publishes little Government newspaper call
Official Bulletin daily and generally
contains from four eight pages of printed matter
Why should all these pamphlets and bulletins be
boiled down and summarized in II that their esstG
als be reprinted by those editors who feel that
is worth while? Then those who the voluminous
pamphlets write Washington and get them
There doubtless thousands if hundreds of
thousands of people who would pay a reasonable suo

than pay expenses. The postal service is over
burdened with the free distribution printed
matter that does read, and obscurty
rather than publicity thereby insured great
of socelled information. Of which is value

One Million. Sweaters
For Army and Navy

The American Red Cross is the
greatest volunteer organization that
the world has ever seen. It was
announced by one of the high officials
in washington that millions of people
are and have been for some months
working six days a week without q dol
lars pay This Includes the members
Of the local chapters and all other en-
ployees in this country and abroad.
)ne significant item in this IS the fact
fhat the Red Cross has given the
army and navy over 100000 sweaters
FOR the boys in the service, of which
over 100000 were made by the mem

SOLDIERS LETTERS.

The Times Is pleased at all times
TO publish letters which friends and
relatives have received from soldier
boys. either il training in this
country Or n service in France.
Due, however, to the many letters
which are submitted in the course
Of a week TO the editorial depart
ment. and in order that the recip-
tents may be spared the dIscomforts
Of having such letters either lost or
torn. because Of the rush of mater
iel which necessarily goes through
this office daily, The Times requests
that only copies of the original let
tiers, written 1egibly upon one side
CT the paper and ready to print, be
submitted, when It gives the assur-
arce that such letters viii be given
attention and as many Of them pub
rshed as Is possipls. The name and
address of the recipient and sender

1t is moment which came to him later than to almost
any other American For months after the first

Henry James Forman, writing for Golfers
