POSTAL SYSTEM IN DISARRAY
to Stop Thievery From the
Goods in Transit.

Extraordinary steps have been taken
by the German government to call a
halt to the thieves within the postal
system. It was claimed that out Of
ten parcels sent three would disap-
pear. Packages to soldiers at the
front containing food, delicacies and
clothing would disappear more fire.
quently than any other shipments. All
appeals to the patriotic spirit Of the
thieves were of no avail. The per-
centage of thefts increased steadily.
Finally the government was compelled
to take drastic and systematic meas
ures. The military branch was called
in and stations of control manned by
non-commissiOned officers and soldiers
were planted at principal railroad
points in the empire. The employ
ment of mere youths is blamed for
the deterioration of the postal service.
Practically ill the employees of mill
tary age had to join the army and
their places were filed by boys and
girls. Besides, the scarcity of food
tempts many to steal.

This weeks story from the front:
A certain c. mpany sergeant major
was not popul:.r with his men. They
accused him having cold feet.
One day tn. company went into a
rest camp 20 miles behind the firing
line, where twas an impossibility any
shells could reach them. The ground,
however, was very waterlogged, and a
fatigue party was detailed to dig q
drainage trench.
Presently sergeant happened to
pass that way.
"What are you digging there?" he
shouted to the corporal in charge OF
the job.
A grimy face, from which the sweat
was pouring, popped up from the
trench. It belonged to one Of the SER
geant majors most persistent and re-
lentless adversaries.
"Diggin' a communication trench

trial proposition Coming within few hours after the
speech Of Vice Chancellor Won Payer" Bafour said IT
cannot believe it is the enemys desire to arrive at an u1-
Outstanding which ge possibly accept 1t attempt
to weaken the forces which are proving too strong for
them in the field am it cannot produce peace and
just as sure it cannot divide the allies When the Germans
tried to dress themselves in President Wilson's clothes or
tried to play part they think President Wilson wants
them to play they clumsy actors" Balfour agreed
with the Austrian note in the assertion that the whole of
civilization at stake and that to prolong the war risk
ing the sacrifice of great ideals dear to everybody inter-
ested He asserted that there several fundamental
questions to settle before discussion take place. Un-
til then he said what is the of this irresponsible
talk Until Germany is prepared to view the problems
concerning us all in very different spirit than eminatin

60.
Either you were in it or you were
not.
Either you shouldered your gun,
served in the trenches, or the Young
Mems Christian association, the Red
Cross or in some place where the door
was opened, or else you did nothing.
If you could not serve, you could
send your boys with a Godspeed, as
they marched out to the front. To
hold them back stamped them as slack
ers.
Either you strained your resources
to buy Liberty bonds or you forgot
your obligation to those who fought
and died for your flag.
Disqualification for active service is

behind the guns who sacrificed all
thought of gain and were willing to
sacrifice their lives at their country's
call.-Leslie's.

HASTY REPLY TO AUSTRIA

London Sept. 16-There will be no hasty response to
able information the reply will only after the most
intimate conference between the entente and the Amer
government Meanwhile the allied official opinion is
withheld pending this decision which diplomats declare
will be the most deicate question Of policy since the de-
claraon Of Unofficial opinion is divided; "stal-
warts" beve the proposition is merely superpeace Of
fensve act of the enemy which would trap the allies into
compromising terms On the other hand those who favor
place by negotiation assert that acceptance would not be
dangerous and it could be learned first whether
sary to carry the much longer if allied terms
can be obtained in the near future Both factions
that the allies decision depends upon which opinion the
government will consider the right At the time
allied diplomats will take into consideration Germanys
offer Of separate peace to Belgium and Germany has put
until the end of the war; reconstruction of Belgium and
political and economic independence for her after the war;
Belgium to aid by moral suasion in the restoration of Ger

LETTER FROM
ROY D. BELEAL

Camp Custer, Mich, Sept. 8. 1918.
Dear Cousin Elma: l received your
very long pleasant and always well
come letter few days ago and should
have answered it yesterday but for
visiting Battle Creek, Mich. 1t is
only few miles from camp, six miles
I think is what they call it, and that
was the first time I had been out of
camp since I arrived here.
enjoyed it very much as 1 found
several old acquaintance there from
Valley, that I used to go to school
with who are married and living there.
The boys ! went down with are from
Valley also, so we had big day re-
newing old acquaintance.
We left camp about 8 a. m. and ar
rived iHEBattle Greek about $3.50 when
we got of the electric we first went
for walksaround the city for awhile
by ourselves. Then we wandered
around to Tooley's, a fellow who used
to barber in Valley City. We visited
with them until noon and took dinner
there. Mrs. Tooley is a sister Of Pete
Davidson of Valley City. Then Mrs.
Tooley took us up to "a South Jeffer-
son street where his son Fred lives
and we visited them for long time,
until Roy Jordan came over and took
us over to his place on 81 Upton ave-
nue.. We stayed there until lunch
when Mr.. and Mrs. Tooley senior join
ed US again and we walked up to
Prospect Park. This a pretty little
park a few blocks from Jordon's: 1t
is located on a hill top, and from there
one can get very good view Of the
city. From there we walked across
the city to the Seven Day Adventist
sanitarium which is most beautiful
place and covers about ten blocks IN
all with it's different buildings. There
adds a whole lot to the beauty OF the
side. There is some kind Of crawling
fern which covers the walls of this
building. It starts in the ground at
the bottom and crawls up the side
itself, some places it has grown to the
roof and the building is six stories
high. They have to cut it away from
over the windows to let in light, and
when you look at it from the outside
it looks as if the windows were set IN
a green hedge. With it's wide green
lawns and beautiful flower beds
around it you can imagine how 1t
would look. With lace curtains IN the
windows, big elm and maple shade
trees along the streets and here and
there those big trees are placed about
the lawn. Then the streets in TINS
section are paved with red brick
which are kept as clean as wax ana
odds a whole lot T. othe beauty of the
place. I guess l can't stop telling
about this place, there are lot o.
benches for visitors to sit on on tn

ing for employment in industries

than for teaching. AS the war con.
tinues and as the cost of living in
creases, and the demand for services
Of the kind teachers can render grows
larger, the numbers Of teachers leav.
ing the schools for other employment
will become still greater and this tend
.ency is likely to continue long after
the war is over unlss the salaries of
teachers should be increased far be-
yond the present average. How are
their places to be filled? By trained
or by unframed teachers?
"Unless the attendance at the nor
NAL schools and in departments of ed
ucation in colleges and universities is
much increased, most of these places
must be filled by men and women
without professional knowledge and
with, no special training for their
work. In this case the character of
the schools will inevitably deteriorate
and the time Of the children and the
money appropriated for education will
be to a large extent wasted. It is
therefore, very important that fol
next year and for many years to come
there should be more students in these
schools for the preparation of teach
ers than there have ever been. Thous,
anrds Of boys and girls who have fin
ished their high school work might
and should render their country a
high type Of patriotic service by en-
tering these schools next fall, winter
or spring to prepare themselves for
the work of teaching in the elemen-
tary and secondary schools"
