WASHINGTON, April 25.-Postmas ter General Burleson tonight continued his attacks against what he recently termed an organized effort to destroy hlm. He issued a statement reiteratins charges that criticisms of his adminis- tration were designed to work improve ments in the postal and wire service put to obtain the repeal of the zone system of rates on second class mail matter The postmaster general said the issue arising from the criticisms presented a test which he welcomed.
 The news reaches the postmaster general this morning." said Burleson. that MT. Burleson methods as ap- piled to the postal and wire service will be the subject matter of discussion to- day by the American Newspaper Pub fishers Association.
 While this association is putting in the entire day talking about MT. Bur ieson and his methods the thoughts of certain selfish members thereof during that time will not be on MT. Burleson's methods or on desired improvements in the postal and wire service, but on their share of the 72.000,030 dollars they have been enjoying as an annual postal sub sldy for many years, and as to how they may recover the part of which they were deprived by congressional action, and how to recover the danger of losing more of it There may be lit tie said by them about this legalized graft. but it will be uppermost in their minds just the same.
 Tt is now insisted that this issue be not obscured to deceive the American ha i- hot tain newspapers and magazines shall continue to filch from the postal rev. enue seventy million dollars each year and impose that burden upon other us- CTS of the mails. This presents test. I welcome it.

The basis for his panic is as infamous a falsehood as was ever published, towit: The alleged refusal of the postmaster general to have trans mitted over the telegraph wires certain matter criticising the postmaster gen eral. The New York World knew that this was base lie when it published it MT. Post knew this was base lie when he repeated it As they well knew the postmaster general never at any time directed the exclusion of any matter offered for transmission on the wires but On the contrary has ordered that even libelous matter as against him shall not be refused, although the sending of such matter is prohibited by rules of the companies enforced fol uaaH~ .AA.>~r .

TWO MILLION T0NS
 IF SHIP CONTRACTS
 ORDERED CANCELLED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, April 25.-Cancella- tion of contracts made during the war for construction of two million tons of steel ships was announced today by the shipping board, which is preparing to close government work in many yards throughout the country. This brings total cancellations since the signing of the armistice to 4,ooo, 900 tons.
 In the brief announcement issued from the office of Chairman Hurley, no reference was made to the actual number of contracts involved or to the yards affected by the cancellation order. It was explained, however, that action at this time would not come as a surprise to builders, as notice was served on them months ago of the boards new policy, the chief feature of which was the elimination of build ing plans for all ships under 12,0o( tons.
 At the end of March about 300 ships for the board had been launched but not delivered. These ships represented tonnage of about 1,S00,000. On the 1 same date keels had been laid for some 300 ships, aggregating 3,oDo,0 tons Shipping board officials said they were unable to give the actual number ot contracts outstanding or later figures than March 31., It was indicated. how ever, that yards like Hog Island. alone with smaller plants on the Atlantic Pacific and gulf coasts, would los. some government business. MT. Hurley in his statement said:
 Tn some of the old yards we ar, paying from $195 to s225 per ton fo, cargo Steamships and oil tankers. II some of the new yards. we are payin, as high as $500 per ton for cargo ships
 As these are war prices and as ", feel that We should be building onl, 1 on peace prices, we are now consider 1 ing cancelling all contracts where keel have not actually been laid"

TORONTO SUFFERS
MARKET REACTION
Bull Activity in Early Part
Of Week Takes Sudden
y Slump.

Special Correspondence to the Cdnddidn
Section Of THE SUN.
TORONTO, Oct. 6.-For a few days last
week we had a mild exhibition of a
runaway stock market General condi-
tons in the country have remained
buoyant and almost all kinds of bust
ness are reported in a flourishing condi-
ton. In fact we appear to be In a
period of extravaganza, which. II not
soon restrained, may work injury for
years to come Sober observers look for
correcting influence from the Victory
loan, which will open its campaign on
October 81, and, If successful, as now
appears will be the case, this will tend
to bring people back again to habits of
thrift.
For the first half of last week, the
Toronto Stock Exchange had a bull mar
ket which, in large part, lacked explain
alton, and gave concern to promoters of
the new loan. Later on. however, there
was n reaction, and the week closed
with many stocks not much above the
beginning, and some had fallen back.
The demand for several non-divdend
common stocks was the more dangerous
feature OF the movement, because it was
evident that a proportion OF the mex
perienced public was In the market, prob
ably unconscious of the danger II ran
with the Eighty prices of these highly
speculative stocks. Atlantic Sugar COM
mon, mes-Holden common, Canada
Bread common and Spanish river COM

stocks not now on dividend basis.
Bread was the heaviest trader, and after
a rise of more than points eased off,
leaving a gain for the week of ga
points. Ames-Holden made the largest
advance, closing the week nearly 10
points ahead. Toronto brokers are crit
ical of this stocks movement, and have
referred to it repeatedly as a case of
manipulation. Inasmuch as the local
mining market appears to be suffering
from an attack of manipulation, thus in
some degree weakening confidence. 1t
is felt that the senior exchange should
go carefully in this direction.

Special Correspondence to the Cdnadian
Section Of THE SUN.
MONTREAL, Oct. 6.-Canadian prov
inces will in future be permitted to make
themselves as dry as they desire to be,
even to the extent depicted by the Rev.
William Sunday as 80 dry that a man
has to be primed before he can spit :"
but they will have to take full RESPONSE
bility for their own conditions and will
not get any assistance from the Fed
eral Government except exactly 80
much as they may ask. This policy
was determined upon by the Unionist
ci.ucus held at Ottawa just before Sir
Robert Borden left for Virginia last
week, and it is pretty certain that tho
Liberals will not undertake to outbld
their rivals In interfering with the
drinking habits of the various Provinces.
This decision means that IL any Prov
ince, having exercised its own authority
to prohibit the sale of certain or all
intoxicants within its borders, desires
to prevent also the importation of such
intoXicants into its territory ca matter
which at present is beyond its powers)
It will be necessary for It to make a
Government to enact legislation TO that
effect, and such legislation will apply
to the Province In question and to no
other. The Dominion thus lodges the
onerous responsibility OF prohibiting
interprovincial traffic in liquors in
regard to Provinces which may not have
any real desire to have such traffic
prohibited.
It is generally believed that several Of
the Provinces will not exhibit any in
decent haste IN applying for the pro-
hibtory legislation. and will allow the
rigors OF their present domestic prohibit
tory laws to be mitigated by the free i'm
portation of alcoholic liquors from other
Provinces and from outside the country.
But much will depend, naturally, upon
the results OF the referendum which is
teing held this month by the Province
OF Ontario. In any case there can be
no relaxation of the existing embargo
on importation and interprovincial ship
ments until the expiration of the present
Dominion wartime prohibition act.
There Is a large sized loophole in that
act so far as wholesale importation is
concerned, and great quantities of whis-
key are understood to be being brought
r by the big dealers under the proviso
allowing importation for medicinal and
sacramental purposes
