Government Now Controls Wire
Service.

There is more or less speculation in
| telepnone and telegraph circles as to
| what will be the effect of operations of
all lines of communication as the re-
| suit of the Federal government taking
control of them.
Capitalization of forces in the man.
agement of enterprises and industries
appears to be one of the functions of
the government endeavor, and it may
be that the current understanding is
due to this fact
Consolidation of the accounting divi-
sions will be the first big step toward
absorbing part of the functions of the
wire lines by the Postoffice Depart
ment. This step. it is declared, will
greatly reduce the cost of operating
the telephones and the telegraph, as
the postal accounting machinery is
equipped to take charge of the work
without any great expansion. At pres
ent- the Postoffice Department, the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone,
the Western Union Company and the
Postal Company each has an account
ing division in Baltimore. Consolda-
tion will cut big item off cost of
operation.
The postage stamp will be employed
to facilitate this end of Federal Wire
Service, especially in the case of tele-
grams. Books of stamps for kilograms
will be gotten out and sold like books
of postage stamps are now sold. When
a telegram is filed for transmission,
the sender will affix telegram stamp
upon it, after the cost has been deter
mined, and hand it in to telegraph
office, postoffice substationS or the mair
postoffice. That stamp will serve the
same purpose as it does on a letter. II
telegram is sent collect, postage
due stamp will be affixed on the envel
OPP by the receiving office and the
messenger boy will collect as the mail
carrier does in the case of postage due
letters.
BY providing stamps as means to pay
for kilograms, it is declared the matter
of bookkeeping for the telegraph divis-
ion of the Wire Service will be reduced
to q minimum. The number of stamps
sold and the amount of money received
for them will constitute the bookkeep
ing operation just as it does in case of
postage stamps.
In case of the telephones. however,
different methods will have to be EN-
ployed. A stamp cannot be placed on
verbal conversation, nor can the
monthly telephone bills be paid in
stamps conveniently. The postmast
ers. therefore, will have to send out
bills for telephone service, or general
order will be issued notifying all priv
ate telephone users that their bills
must be paid promptly on the first of
each month or the service will be cut
off. There will be no paying the tele-
phone bills on thr 18th of the month.

supposed to be kept were broken open,
and the floors were strewn with post
Office papers and belongings of the rail
way company. The robbers apparent

Jew, Protestant and
Gentle Are Invited to
Meet Thanksgiving

Mayor Smith has called for q
great union Thanksgiving service
to be held on Thanksgiving morn
ing in the City Auditorium. Jew,
Protestant and Gentle are to unite
in a grand outpouring of thanks for
the blessings vouchsafed to the city,
state and nation.
1T may be that we will even have
thanks to return for the dawn of
peace" said the mayor. TAT any
rate so many good things have come
to us that it is fitting that we should
give thanks to c d.
an the past individual churches
have held their Thanksgiving SER
vices. In many cases several
churches In . neighborhood have
united.
"But believe we ought to 60
farther than that and all people Of
whatever religious afiliation or of
no utilization at all should join in
returning thanks to the Almighty
for what He has done for US and to
invoke His further aid to our forces
at the front"
Mayor Smith has written letters
to Archbishop HARRY and to minis
tiers and rabbis in The Protestant and
Jewish churches to get their ideas
on the union Thanksgiving meeting
and suggestions on what shall be
the nature of the celebration.

Poor Time for Kings
and Kaisers, Says
Louisville Editor

Louisville, KY, Nov. 15.-"To hell
with the Hohenzollerns and Haps-
burgs," the slogan proclaimed by
Henry WattersoaIn the columns of
the Louisville Courier Journal and
which somewhat startled the coun-
try, September 8, 1914, has been an
swered sooner than its author ex-
pected.
"The Courier Journals prophecy"
said Mr.. Watterson, now editing
emeritus in . statement shortly af-
ter Emperor Wilhelm abdicated,
that in thirty-hvc years there would
not be a crowned head in Europe"
will also come true. 1t has been for
long time evident that autocracy
was on the down grade. This is a
poor era for kings, kaisers, and other
figureheads. The world is moving
toward self-government. Each man
thinks himself to wear the purple.
Let us put upon the kaiser's tomb
Ben Johnson's inscription over the
grave of pig:
whilst he lived he lived in clover,
When he died he died all over"
The United States was not bel
ligerant when Mr.. Watterson's slo-
gan was coined. 1t was widely quo
ted and was the subject of heated
reutroversy between pro-German
and pro-ally. 4.
While la storm brewed about him
Mr.. Watterson continued to con-
sign the ruling houses of Germany
and Austria.Hungary to iperdition
through the editorial columns of his
paper. He laid stress on the fact
that the United States could not
keep out of the war and preached
preparedness against the day when
his prophecy was verified.

Author Who Can't Rn Tanned.
