methods to accomplish this purpose
Their interest and the motive are made
clear.
Cites One Periodical as Example.
THE Postmaster General is in
formed that certain periodical IN a
single issue recently carried SsO0,ovo
worth of advertising, which is at the
rate of s40.O00.O00 a year. This edi-
ton weighed approximately 100000
pounds and was transmitted through
the mail at a loss of cents on every
pound. In this instance the other US
ers of the mail were taxed to pay the
loss of $4,000 for the benefit of one
publisher on this single issue of his
periodical. and he profited to that ex-
tent. The statement that the public,
and not the publisher, suffers by the
zone rate. is an insult to the intelli-
gence of the American people.
However much such selfish pub
fishers may attempt to camoufiage
the situation. the thoughtful. intelli-
gent reader will not lose sight of the
real issue: Shall the law which pro-
vides that the publisher who profits
from this transaction must bear part
of this loss to the postal establish
ment be suspended or repealed and
the full benefit of the $72,000.o00 Of
indirect graft that few millionaire
publishers have long enjoyed, be re-
stored? Their lobbyists and hirelings
may conceal themselves behind a pre-
tended desire to improve the postal
or wire service and hurl their phos-
gene gas-shells of falsified news or at
tempt to give a back thrust with the
stilletto poisoned by hidden malice to
honest officials who are doing their
duty; yet they must not be permitted
to obscure the real issue. Shall the
o;d-ti10e s72.00o.0o0 postal subsidy,
taken from the poclsetS Of other userS
of the mail. be restored to the few
publishers who have for years
nlurdered the postal revenues?
''It shall not be if by the use Of
the bludgeor of truth the present,

honest facts into the minds of those

Tells why Labor Opposes Him.

Labor is fighting Mr.. Burleson not
because of his Zone-rate law or his
suspension of the pneumatic tube
service or his change in the system Of
cOmpensrting the railroads for mail
carriage" said Mr.. Flaherty. but
solely because he has no conception Of
modern Industrial or economic prob
lens. He still holds to the archaic
chattel slavery idea that labor is a
commodity. He is SO constituted that
he cannot understand the aspirations
and the ideals of the American work
men over whose welfare political mis-
chance has placed him.
His viewpoint on labor questions is
reflected in his votes as q Congress-
man. He voted against the Federal
Compensation Law, the -phossy jaw"
legislation. and he sponsored the in
tQuitous rider that sought to limit
the tenure of civil service employees
to seven years. This was a direct
blow at the federal civil service
For six years he has been Postmas-
ter General In that time he has not
made a single constructive recon-
mendation for employees legislation.
On the contrary he sought to nullify
the employees eight-hour law and
their weekly rest law; he endeavored
10 lower postal wage standards: he
lobbied in person against the legisIa :
tion giving postal employees increased
compensation. In his report to the
Sixty -fifth Congress he brutaly re-
ferred to his employees agitation for
wage increases as selfish attmpt

notes.
In some cases amateur brokers have
paid as little as $40 and $50 for 500
liberty bonds. although the market
prices for all past issues are above
$50. The investigation has been un-
dertaken to ascertain whether buy
ers of these bonds have misrepresent-
ed the market value in an effort to
lower the buying price. Newspapers
were urged again to publish in prom
for bonds Of past issues, as tele-
graphed to them daily. to prevent

To protect children, invalids

Raw milk is harder to digest

On Approaching Peace

PARIS, April 15-President Wilson, in behalf OF
the council of four issued the following statement last
night:
'In view of the fact that the questions which must
be settled in the peace with Germany have been brought
so complete solution that they now quickly be
put through the final process of drafting those who have
been most constantly in conference about them have de-
cded to advise that the German plenipotentarles be
invited to meet the representatives of the associated bel
igerent nations at Versailles the 25th of April
''This does not mean that the many other questions
connected with the general peace settlement will be inter
rupted or that their consideration which has been long
under way will be retarded. On the contrary, it is
expected that rapid progress will be made with
these questions that they may also presently be ex
pected to be ready for final settlement.
''It is hoped that the questions most directly affect
ing Italy, especially the Adratic question: be
brought to a speedy agreement The Adriatc question
will be given for the time precedence other ques
tions and pressed by continual study to its final stage
The settlements that belong especially to the treaty
with Germany will in this way be got out of the way at
the same time that all other settlements being
brought to complete formulation. It is realized that,
though this process must be followed all the questions
of the present great settlement parts of single

SEPARATE TREATIES
FOR ENEMY NATIONS
Continued from First Page.)


a general introduction. IN which all
the principles will be set forth, and
will be followed by specific protocols
covering separate divisions. Among
these protocols will be the league OF
nations covenant, to which the Ger
mans will subscribe, although they
will not be admitted to membership
in the league until they are voted in
under the covenant provision for ac-
ceptance Of new members.
In addition to the military and naval
terms, which have already been out
lined, the treaty will cover all other
ground completely.
Dispatches of March % stated Ger
many would be allowed an army of
100, 600 men, a navy of six battleships.
six light cruisers and "a destroyers
and torpedo boats, and no military air
force. Also that she would be rem
dered further impotent through allied
control OF her war materials.
The military and naval terms will
contain approximately 10000, repara-
tions the same, waterways and re-
sponsibilities about 5000 each.
Boundaries, which will require at
least 5000 words, will give Alsace-
Lorraine to France as well as giving
the French possession of the -Saar
coal mines. The valley will be ad-
ministered by France as mandatory
for the League of Nations for fifteen
years. after which a plebiscite will
be held. The Rhine boundary is not
changed. The Rhine forts will be
dtsmantled, and France will be given
guarantees against attack which she
has characterized as most accept
able"
WATERWAYS Provision.
The waterways provision includes
specialization of the Rhine, Elbe and
Oder rivers. The KieI canal will be
left in Germany's possession, but will
be open to passage of all ships in
peace time and it's forts will be dis
mantIed.
The reparations section OF the
treaty will be based on a provisional
minimum indemnity of $25.O00 000. .o00.
The permanent reparations commit
tee will be expected to get as much
more as Germany's financial and eco
nomic condition permits after the ini-
tial instaIlment of $4,000, ,OO0, 900,
which will be paid within two years.
The general belief is that France will
get about 30 per cent Of the total
amounts of indemnities.
While the responsibilities commit
tee has agreed on indictment and
trial of minor enemy officials in the
countries in which their crimes were
committed, the question of whether
the former Kaiser and his accom-
plices shall be corporally punished
will be determined at the plenary ses-
sion next week, owing to the fact the
committee has failed to agree on this
one point
