A BELATED DECISION.

The final decision in the fifteen per cent adj
vance rate case is Of rather more interest to the
government than it is to the roads, The situa-
ton would have been different if the decision
just announced, practically giving the roads
what they asked, had been reached while the
transportation lines were in private hands. Had
this substantial advance been granted a year or
more ago, when the need Of higher rates was
recognized by the public, but not by the inter
ststa commerce commission, it might have
been possible to continue private control in the
war period But this question is not important
now. The roads are in the hands of the govern
ment, and the sixty million dollars added to
their income will help the government, which
guarantees an income based ON earnings for a
three-year period. The decision to advance the
rates is wise, and it should have been reached
long ago.

BEGINNING OF AR1oR DAY.

Peoples Home Journal: Arbor day
now observed annually in fifteen
states as time set aside for plant
ing trees, had its inception in the
mind Of Nebraska man, the late
julius Sterling Morton. At least, if
he did not begin the practice OF tree
planting on a certain day each spring,
there is no doubt that to him belongs
the credit for the attractive name
by which the day is now known.
Julius Sterling Morton was a New
Yorker by birth, but went to Nebraska
before the civil war and took claim
in what was then a treeless waste. It
was supposed the trees would not
grow in that region, but the young
settler did not accept this verdict.
Trees that he ordered from the east
and planted about his new homo
thrived. and he named his place Arb
or Lodge. In 1872, Mr. Morton be.
came a member of the Nebraska
board Of agriculture, and persuaded
the legislature to set aside a day IN
April Of each year when it should be

A COMMERCIALLY DEPARTURE.

What the news dispatches call 'war
t,ouncil'' has decided to take the senate com
lnittee on military affairs into its confidence
md tell it once week-on Saturdays until
further notice-how the war is coming on.
Who constitutes this council we are not
told; but about month ago the country heard
of a ''super council composed of Secretaries
Baker, Daniels Wilson and McAdoo This is
probably the body meant, for Acting Secretary
Crowell, of the war department, took Secre-
tary Bakers place thereon at the first audience
given to the senate committee on military af
fairs
There will be general commentator of this
departure. Heretofore congress had no way of
finding out anything of what was going on ex.>
cept by starting investigation The facts
drawn out in these inquiries were generally
some months old; but now the committees in
formation of what the government is doing will
be brought right down to the current week

Davenport Democrat: Iowa is well
advertised in the governments pro-
posal to stamp out iIliteracy among
the adults of the nation The draft
law has disclosed conditions which
challenge public attention, and the
education which selected men are
getting at the army camps is to be
spread over all the country when

out. In proposing it, the government
calls attention to the fact that Iowa
has the smallest share Of illiteracy
of any state in the union.

Davenport Times: Do not get it in
to your head that the savings stamp
campaign is ended after the solicitor
has called upon you for your pledge.
Remember this thrift campaign goes
on and on, that you can buy these
stamps at any time at any authorized
agency.
Do not forget that the thrift stamp
and war stamp is the best investment
you can make at this time. The re-
turns are two fold. You get the salts
faction in helping win the war. You
get your interest-and good interest
on your money.
Some Of the leading men of the city
are giving their time, telling the peo-
pie of this campaign, and selling the
stamps for Uncle Sam. Their work is
voluntary. They get no pay other
than the satisfaction they receive
from doing their duty to the nation
which has done SO much for them.
These men are honorable. Do you
think they would take up scheme

General Gorgas has the precedent set by all
army organizations of Europe to support his
advocacy of the Owen bill by which medical
officers in the army will be given higher rank
to bring the service on par with the line. The
objection Of the department. so far as made
public, is that this would occasion dissatisfac-
ton in other branches of army service This
does not seem an argument worth considering
as ground for vetoing move to the betterment
of our army medical service. General Gorgas
SAYS that medical officers in their present rank
ing cannot get their recommendations before
executives in time to prevent lamentable mis-
chief to the men in service If true, this is
enough to make the Owen bill much needed
enactment.

Special to The Evening Journal.
SMYRNA, Del, Dec. 26.-Lieutenant
Walter w. Josephs, a Delaware College
graduate who returned last week from
France where he had served In the u.
:. Marine Aviation Corps, brought
back with him many souvenirs which
he picked up during his trips through
the battlenelds OF France and Bel
gium. Several weeks ago it was re-
ported that Lieutenant Josephs had
been killed In action and consequently
his return made Christmas especially
happy at the Josephs home.
one OF the most interesting expert
ences OF Lieutenant JOsephs was when
he and a number OF other officers en-
tered Brussels before the Germans had
evacuated that city. The following
from the London Daily Mail describes
the entrance Of The u. S. officers:
"Thlrteen officers OF the u. s. Ma
rine Corps motored TO Brussels today
A Belgian officer met on the road adj
vised them not TO continue, as there
were still guns IN Brussels, but they
went on and the first thing they saw
on arrival was armed Germans mount
ing guard. The Germans did not make
the slightest attempt TO stop them.
Farther on they came across motor
lorries flying the Red Flag. The men
driving them smiled at the Americans.
The city Is decorated with the Allied
flags and huge flagstaffs have been
erected on which enormous Belgian
flags will be run up when the King and
Queen enter. The Germans have not
raised a finger TO stop these prepara-
fions."
