AGREE WITH WILSON
Ambassador Reading VIII Return
With President From Europe.

Washington, Jan. British Am
bassador Reading will probably re-
turn to America with President Will
son, according to information reaching
TIL state department today.
This fact is regarded as quite i'm
portant, since it was reported when
Lord Reading returned home several
months ago, he ard the president diff
fered vastly on war aims-or peace
terms.
That he and the president should
return at the same time is regarded
as a very solid evidence of British
AL -erican agreement at the present
time. President Wilson's visit to Lon
don is deemed here to have swept
aside any differences of viewpoint ex-
listing between the two nations and to
have made them unit in peace terms
at the Forthcoming Versailles session.
It is felt that the French premier's
re cent statement favoring the balance
OF power idea does not indicate, in
reality, an essential obstacle to peace
plans. 1t is believed that French poll
tics prompted his statement at a time
when his opponents were seeking 20
drive him into the open. France will
be for the league of nations at the
proper time, it is said.

M0THER-IH-LAW WAITED
She Knows Mail Carriers Didn't Have
Half Holiday New Years.

The announcement in the State
Journal last Wednesday that the mail
carriers would enjoy half holiday
calls forth a kindly protest from Mrs.
Cordelia Vandol, 1905 w. Thirteenth
street.

a mail carrier" says Mrs. VandoI,
and waited hungrily for eight hours
to eat dinner with him, you would
know it was a mistake. 1t is generally
believed by the public that carriers
have half holiday because they make
but one delivery and the postoffice
closes at 10 O'Clock; but it takes eight
hours to make that one full delivery.

lunch. They are entitled by law to
both New Years and Christmas, but
get neither. tho sometime in the fol-
lowing month or two they get COM
pensatory time off. A few, by hiring
help or having shorter routes. may
get thru IN six hours. but most of them
work the full eight hours tall they
are allowed to work. and take back
rndelivered mail No carrier ever gets
a half holiday on Christmas or New
Years; the nlailss are too heavy at
those times"

State Banks Increased Deposits "a
Million in 1915.

While deposits in Kansas state
banks increased "a million dollars
during the last year, the staten ent
just issued by Walter Z. Wilson, state
bank commissioner, shows "a loss of
16 million from the September de-
