Government Wirea.

Since midnight the United States
Government has been managing the
telephone and telegraph lines Of the
country with the Postmaster General,
Mr.. BURLEsoN, as Its active agent In
charge. President THEoDoHE N. VAIL
Of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, who has conferred
with Mr.. BuRLEsoN at length con-
corning this new application of Fed
eral authority, Is satisfied that Mr..
BuRLEsoN intends ito maintain the
wire service at the highest possible
efficiency, conserve and protect the
property that 1t mny be returned to
the owners in as good condition "a
received, and to pay n compensation
for its use that will be just and fair
Mr.. VAIL knows more about the
wire communication system Of the
country than anybody else; he would
not use the words "hlghest possible
efficiency" loosely; and his optimism
should comfort all those who have
dreaded the intrusion Of politics In
an industry that has been notably
efficient in the past.
Mr.. BURLEsoN receives from the
officers Of the telephone company one
Of the most, if not the most, skilfully
organized industries in the world. No
where outside Of the United States has
the telephone industry been developed
as 1t has been here. In no other
country is the use of the telephone
as common; in no other country is
. the service as good as It Is here.
Every American returning from
abroad to his home has rejOiced on
being sble to make use of the su-
perior facilities provided by the tele-
phone companies here, after his pa-
thence has been worn thin by for
eign systems. The telephone service
in the United States has been trl-
umph of initiative. intelligent direc-
tlon and public spirit.
The telegraph companies, in diff
ferent field, have also provided n
good service. If their success in WIN
ming public approval has not been as
conspicuous as that of the telephone
corporations, they have certainly
shone by comparison with the post
office. Should Mr.. BuRLEsoN be able
to keep all the services up to the
standard they have set for them
selves he will not be assailed.
Mr.. BURLEsoN will not be able to
do this If the methods of accounting
in force In the Post Office Department
are introduced into the offices of the
telephone and telegraph companies.
The post office gets its appropriation
from Congress and spends 1t. 1t
shovels It's revenues into the Treas
ury, and takes receipt for the
money. This practice will do where
n careless country pays no attention
to the cost of public utilities, where
where real estate Is free Of taxes, but
1t will not do where the rights of in
vestors are involved, where fran
chises must be taken into account, or
where the payment Of bills is n nee
essary prerequisite to the continue
tion of business.
1t may be that the necessity Of
keeping telephone and telegraph ac-
counts in a businesslike way will
open the eyes of the Post Office De-
partment to the undesirability of its
present bookkeeping methods and
bring about much needed reform.
Should this be the case, Government
control Of the wires will confer a
lasting benefit on the United States

And all the time the ''75s" were
sending theirs to the Turks not far
over our heads to 900 yards behind
us, and the howitzers were dropping
their 24O-pound bits of iron In every
vacant space and some that were not
vacant. 1t was just one big roar and
screech and grOwl all at once, like
turning the whole dog pound loose
on piece Of meat.
The conclusions felt like one long
string Of boxes on the ear, and our
throatS were so dry that it hurt to
swallow, which always makes your
ears feel better after strong concus-
sion. One after another of our boys
was slipping to the ground and digging
his fists into his ears, and the rest of
them sat on the parapet fire step with
their heads between their knees and
their arms wrapped around their
heads.
Our sergeant came to me after
while and began acting just like
people do at show, only he shouted
instead of whispered in my ear. When
people are looking at one show they
always want to tell you how good some
other show is, and that was the way
with the sergeant.
you should see what they did to
us at st. Eloi," he said. 'They just
baptized US with the big fellows. They
did not know when to stop. When you
see Smelling that is Smelling, you will
know 1t, my son."
well, if this is not Smelling, what
the devil Is it? Are they trying to
kid US or are you, mon vieuX?" which
Is French expression that means
something like "old timer"
my son, when you see dugouts
caved In, roads pushed all over the
map, guns wrecked, bodies twisted up
in knots and forty men killed by one
shell-then you will know you are
seeing shelling."
Then one of our men sat up straight
against the parapet and stared at us
and began to shake all over, but we
could not get him to say anything or
move. So we knew he had shell shock.
And another man watched him for
while, and then he began to shake,
too. The sergeant said that If we
stayed there much longer we would
not be fit to repel an attack. so he
ordered us into the two dugouts we
had made in the hole, and only himself
and another man stayed outside on
watch.
The men in the dugout kept asking
each other when the bOmbardment
would end, and why we were not rein
forced, and what was happening, and
whether the Turks would attack US. It
was easy to see why we were not rein
forced no body Of men- could have
got to US from the reserve trenches.
The communication trenches were
quite distance from US and were
battered up at that. Some of the men
said we had been forgotten and that
the rest Of our troops had either re-
tired or advanced and that we and
the men in the trench who had tried
to signal US were the only detachments
left there.
Pretty soon another man and I
relieved the two men who were out
side on watch, and as he went down
into the dugout the sergeant shouted
to US that he thought the Turks were
afraid to attack. He also ordered one
Of US to keep live eye toward our
rear In case any Of our troops should
try to signal US. When I looked
through little gully at the top of
the hole, toward the other trench, all

ing proper proportion Of WORK, play
and rest, by keeping the body well
clothed, and by eating sufficient whole
some and properly selected food. In
connection with diet, it Is well to re.
member that milk is one of the best
ali-around foods obtainable for adults
as well as children. So far as a dis
case like influenza is concerned, health
authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation between its spread
and overcrowded homes. While It IL
not always possible, especially In
times like the present, to avoid such
overcrowding, people should consider
the health danger and make every
effort to reduce the home overcrowd-
ing to minimum. The value Of fresh
air through open windows cannot be
over emphasized.
"When crowding Is unavoidable, a.
In street cars, care should be taken to
keep the face so turned as not to in.
hale directly the air breathed out by
another person.
1T is especially important to be-
ware of the person who coughs or
sneezes without covering his mouth
and nose. 1t also follows that one
should keep out Of crowds and stuny
places as much as possible, keep
homes, offices and workshops well air
ed, spend some time out of doors each
day, walk to work If at all practicable
in short, make every possible effort
to breathe as much pure air as pos
