Everywhere a formidable display Of cannon
taken from the enemy. There are piles Of
them, heaps OF them. There are too many toI
count, together with bewldering mass of
trench instruments of all sorts. Can YOU be-
lieve it? They do not hold the eve How isl
that possible? Because on the sidewalk op-
posite, in splendid alignment, is the gorgeous
gathering of soldiers with medals and deco
rations who have captured these things All!
They hold the eye. There they are. with all
sorts of faces and from all branches of the
service, with the flag they have followed into
battle and which now must be present at
their honor.

Mail Tubes Still Needed

The Merchants Associations request
to Senator Bankhead that the pneumatic
mail tubes be retained is demand that
cral Burleson be disregarded. Congress
has done this once by making an appro-
prlation for the maintenance of the tubes
over the plea of the Postmaster General
that they be abandoned. 1t is to be
hoped that this position will be main
tanned and the Postmaster General be
turned down a second time He has
produced no more evidence in favor of
the abandonment of the tubes this time
than he did before. Since Congress by
Its action then virtually admitted that he
had failed to prove his contentious, it is
hard to sec why it should Weld to him
now.
This city has just been going through
situation in which the mail tubes have
been OF the utmost value. If they had
been eliminated from New York's mail
facilities, sole dependence would have
been on automobile trucks or the old
horse-draWn wagons. Snow and arctic
temperature delayed street traffic trc
mendously. The usual traffic complica
tlons here were vastly increased. The
handling of the citys mail suffered. nat
urally, but not to such an extent as II
would have suffered if the tubes had not
been there to take care of the urgent
first class mail. This situation was the
extreme of what would happen if sole
reliance were on surface methods of
transporting the mail; but in considering
SO grave problem as the dispatch of
mails In the greatest city of HE nation, a
clearing house for foreign mails and
mails travelling all over this continent.
it is just as we'll to have extreme DOS
sibilities in mind
AS the Merchants Association points
out, committee of Congress has under
taken to investigate this pneumatic tube
service, to ascertain it's worth in relation
to It's cost. That committee has not vet
made its recommendations. Surely it
would be unwise, and distinctly unjust
to the vast fabric of business which de-
pends on the prompt and sure handling
OF its correspondence, to take any action
looking to the discontinuance of this tube
service before receiving the information
the commlttee has to transmit. Congress
has heard twice what the Postmaster
General has to say. 1t surely ought to
have. the other side of the story before it
does anything Meantime it would be q
great hardship for the metropolis and
the other large communities of the coun
try which have had the advantage of the
mail tubes to have the service stopped
by reason of failure to make the usual
appropriation for their maintenance.

Swap Customers and Reduce Traffic

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is one way in which the strain
OF traffic on the railroads could be greatly re-
ieved. although it would mean a radical de.
parture from our present system Of dong
business. This way of relieving congestion
consists simply in having use or consumption
of all commodities take place as near as pos
sible to the place of production, or, as ~
might be expressed in the form Of slogan,
"Buy in the nearest market"
Under the present system of competitive
business the component parts of any given
article may travel thousands OF unnecessary
miles, whether in the form of raw material,
goods in bulk manufactured parts other.
wise Possibly in the present rapid march of
events and ideas even such a radical propc-
siton as the formation Of national clearing
house for the Swapping" of customers may
receive serious consideration.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-Restrictions
on the use Of paper by publications
with the exception Of daily. Sunday
and weekly newspapers were lifted
to-day by the War Industries Board.
At q recent meeting OF the publish
ers of daily and Sunday newspapers
the War Trade Board was asked to
continue to exercise control over the
use OF news print for a time at least.
The board has this matter still under
advisement, though indications are
that II VIII 90 out Of business IN a
few weeks. IN which event this control
would have to cease. A request was
made to-day, however. that publishers
of daily newspapers send In promptly
their November reports on the con-
sumption OF paper. The request adds:
The regulations governing daily
newspapers may be withdrawn within
sixty days, but in case Of further
eventualities It will be very much to
the advantage OF the individual pub
Usher for his complete reports TO be
on file 20 that should this work be
turned over TO any other department
when the War Industries Board dis
bands Il will have full and complete
information at its disposal.
Restrictions governing weekly

In this the board Is prompted by the
fact that the amount Of paper con-
sumed by them is not sufficient to az
