Result of Contraction.

NEARLY all the drug stores no longer
handle stamps. and some stations have
been abolished. The natural result of
this policy OF contraction, involving,
as it does, ruinous waste of time,
temper and effort, by the whole mail
of the stamp profiteer, with his stamps
in the slot machine at profit of IL 1-9
yer cent and 25 per cent.
We regret to find this profiteering
directly encouraged by the Post Office
Department by the convenient sale to
the profiteer Of the neatly wound spool
of stamps TO fit his machine. The bust
ness of selling stamps is not COM
mercial affair, but is a necessary part
of the public utility monopolized by
the government.
Speculation in postage stamps
should be rendered impossible. There

of the Hapsburgs with a reduction in
numbers from 400, 1000 to 5000, and of
French influence which assisted them
to reorganize, up to the present war.
Mr.. Pergler said the Czechoslovaks
refused to fight on the side of Aus
tria and Germany. and that one out
of every five was concentrated and
shot. He said they finally got to-
zether three regiments in Russia TO
fight on the side of the allies, but the
bolsheyikf deprived them of their
arms and slaughtered them
He said that small nations should
be able to hold their own and pointed
out that most Of the nations created
in the nineteenth century were small.
