MY DEAR Mr.. LARocouE: I received
your letter and thank you very much
for writing me- In answer l would like
TO tell you that undoubtedly stand for
the unconditional surrender OF Germany.
You must realize. however, that the
phrase unconditional surrender means
an absolute surrender by one party TO
the terms OF the other.
Now feel that we will not be in n
position to express our terms II the
President be not supported at the cleo
ton. AS you know, the representative
OF the United States at the final council
OF the Allies which will meet to decide
what terms shall be imposed on Ger
many must be an appointee and repre-
sentative OF the President. II this man
represents a solid people he will be
able to get practically what he wants.
II, however he represents only q beaten
faction OF the American people, he I'M
doubtedly will be told that as he does
not represent majority OF the Ameri-
cans, his request will be OF little force.
OF course. do not mean that he will be
totally diregarded. but his influence
will be necessarily weakened.
In reply to your question about Mr..
Kitchln and Mr.. Dent, thoroughly
agree with you that the country should
be OF more weight than party. The
only condition that am willing to i'm
pose on my candidate for Speaker Is
that he shall be the man who will work
most harmoniously with the Executive.
do not feel that anything else counts
should naturally prefer the man who
would make the best appointments. but
we must all realize that the House OF
Representatives is only a part of the
Government, and we must do what we
can TO make II coordinate with the ad.
ministrative machinery. Yours very sin.

Az 20 Certain Full Grown Men

irritating when moderated by the ora
torical skill Of the Secretary.
It Is pretty prcsumptuous to call

who wear khaki in France boys a

cally, mentally and socially.

It's Bulgarian allies. The dawn of the
Serbians' hopes came six weeks ago
In their victories In the Macedonian
mountains. More swiftly than they
were driven from their country, It
was recovered to them by their own
efforts and the help Of their allies.
The Karageorgevitches, whom the
Austrians contemptuously styled the
kings of the swineherd dynasty"
return to their kingdom. They have
the loyal and united support Of the
free Serbian people at time when
the medieval Hapsburgs fall and
their monarchy crumbles in the re-
volts Of its long oppressed and mis-
governed people.
The capital to which the Serbians
returned was a devastated city. The
Konak. the royal residence, was de-
stroyed In the FIRST Austrian occupa-
tlon. Most Of the public buildings
were burned In the second occupa-
tlon. The university seems to have
been the especial object Of the Aus
trian wrath, for 1t had been the cen.
tire of South Slav culture and thought.
The buildings were burned and the
carefully preserved records and liter
allure Of the Serbs were either de-
stroyed or carried away to Vienna.
But this wanton destruction failed Of
its purpose; instead of separating the
South Slavs 1t united them more
firmly into one of the most formi-
dable opponents that Austria had
within her own borders.
1t Is a question II the Serbians will
permanently reestablish their capital
ut Belgrade. Its position on the Dor
der has always made 1t a Vulnerable
seat Of their Government. 1t may
be transferred to Nish or to Skopelje
in the interior Of the country. 1t is
even asserted that the capital Of the
new Serbian kingdom will be the
Bosnian city Of Sarajevo.

WASTED MILK BOTTLES.
An Unnecessary Expense In the De-
livery Of Food.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Every
time the high cost Of milk Is discussed
or commented on in my presence, the
loose system employed by the various
milk companies, both large and small,
in retrieving their empty milk bottles
rises up to confront me. The waste OF
milk bottles, II appears to me. is the
factor that helps to keep the price Of
milk high. There must be thousands
of dollars wasted every year through
the inefficient system employed by the
companies to get back the bottles in
which the milk Is delivered.
In view OF the fact that efficiency ex-
pertB OF the milk companies have per-
fected a system OF delivery that is o.
X. It seems remarkable that they have
not as yet evolved a system for the coll
lection Of empty bottles. At present the
drivers are commissioned to collect the
"emptles'' this Is only ono OF their
duties, They have many others, and
the chances are that they neglect to COL
lect the bottles In order to devote more
time to the collection OF their bills.
