"WHRT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
If Paul Revere Had Only Had a TeIe-
phone Available in the Days
of 'SeVenty-fiVe.

Somebody in the New England tele-
phone organization has been figuring
out how easily Paul Revere could have
accomplished all the purposes of his
famous ride on the eighteenth Of
April. in 'seventy-fve," if he only had
had telephone facilities like those
available today. AS the telephone man
says, Revere would have been able to
save himself lot of hard riding. He
could have called Concord from a pub
lie station in the North end. or Charles
town either, and had his friends of the
committee Of public safety on the line
within eight minutes, if the operators
took as much time then as they do
now. And how much easier it would
have been to get the powder buried
and the gun carriages done away with
if the Concord folk had had their
warning eight minutes after the Ian
terms were hung alOft in the belfry
arch of the Old North steeple. Only,
if there had been telephones, there
would have been no lanterns They
would have used the phone for the
whole thing And then OF course a
famous poem would never have been
written-Christian Science Monitor.

Our Book of Doom.

a doomsday book of a new sort has
been produced by the alien property
custodian It approximates 500 pages
and sets out The names Of the enemy
concerns that have been found in the
United States. The custodian thinks
his efforts have been without real cost
to the country, since he brought to
light for the treasury to collect more
than $1,000 in income taxes which
were being evaded. Besides the Gus
todian turned some of the German con-
Germs to war work and had them pro-
duce 100000 worth of supplies.
The custodian's new book, says Ma
tons Business, contains a deal of
comfort for Americans who have
claims against Germany and who have
been wondering if they will have TO
wait for payment until Germany makes
up her mind about the variety of gov
eminent she likes best. The state de-
partment has limited that American
claimants may get immediate reim-
bursement from the funds the custO-
dian has collected.

LEARNING TO BE A CIVILIAN
Discharged British Soldier Testifes
That He Finds New Feeling
Out OF Uniform.

Is the glamor of uniform wearing
of?
After three years of service clothes
have just spent my first days in
civilian attire. Surprising to tell, I
believe have met with more civility
out Of uniform than in it, 'sR. G."
writes in the continental edition of the
London Mail
Two possible solutions of this re
markab1e attitude occur to me. The
first is that most officers appear to be
rather stern and Stand-offiSh in uni
form. The other solution, and per-
haps an equally probable one, is that
the public is getting tired of seeing
so many officers going about aimIessly
with apparently nothing much to do
except to spend money and kill time.
Naturally, I suppose, when I first
went out in "civvies'' I had the in
grained inclination to salute all su-
perior officers I met and to prepare to
take salutes from the ranks It took
me the best part of a day to overcome
this impulse
The "sir'' habit was very strong, too.
On my first morning as a civilian I
had to see a colonel at the war Office
on business-business in which our
standing was at least equa1-and I
Immediately ''sirred" him, of course.
Force of habit, pure and simple
Again there is the matter of running
after an~omnibus or across the road
in uniform one tries to make point
of not doing these things. Now, how
ever, when example has not longer
to be considered, I find it practically
impossible to chase an omnibus or
flee from an OncOming taxicab. The
instinct is against doing so.
Apparently it is just as necessary to
relearn how to be a civilian as it
once was to learn how to be a soldier.
