WAS 1T FOR THIS AMERICAN
SOLDIERS WENT TO FRANCE

To scrub the floor for even so es-
timabls . gentleman as Col. House,
a. Mr.. Richard Seelye Jones remarks
in his Paris correspondence to the
Post-Intelligencer, is a poor reward
for services rendered in the Argonne.
Col. House and the other American
peacemakers and designers housed
in the Hotel Crillon doubtless track
mud and otherwise make scrubbing
a housekeeping necessity; but just
why American soldiers should be
called upon to perform this honor
able but humble task we are not able
to say.
If the uniform of the American SOL
der stands for anything, and for
two years we have loudly proclaimed
that il does, then it is worthy of a
higher station in the Hotel Crillon
than that Of the scrub bucket and
the mop. A soldier may properly
scrub his barracks and perform such
other duties a. are necessary to his
own health and comfort. That is
one thing; but when he is put to
work As q soldier scrubbing floors
and washing dishes for a hotelful
of peacemakers and their families,
he becomes . standing argument why

great many Americans want moth

a great many Americans want moth
ing to do with the army.
If the uniform of the United States
army may indicate that the wearer
IS either a man who has fought for
his country or who has scrubbed
floors for Col. House the doubt can
not but detract from some of the
affection and admilation we have for
affection and admiration we have for
it, Scrubmen and dishwa shers are
necessary, and no stigma should attach
to their callings. But none the less
they are not soldiers; their ~vocations
normally call for entirely different
qualities, and the differences in
perils and hardships that exist be-
tween them make for a difference in
popular esteem.
II Pars is totally destitute of
scrubwomen, if dishwashers and SOUL
hons generally are not to be had. il
IS proper that such soldiers as have
a taste for this sort of work should
have the opportunity to indulge pro-
fltably in it-but as private indiyi.
duals, not as soldiers.
The uniform should ever stand for
valorous and self-sacrificing service
IN the army or navy, and should
never be confused with exploits per-
formed with sapolio or the Gold Dust
twins, for the comfort of Col. House
or any other private individual

TO TELEPHONE USERS

The following is a copy OF an announcement which was enclosed
with all May lt Bills for telephone service:
NO business institution continue to operate Indefinitely if its re-
venues are inadequate to meet operating expenses. This is precisely
the situation that confronts the telephone business today, a condi-
ton brought about by increased material costs and increased living
costs of employees, necessitating substantial wage increases, and
very large increases in taxes, which has affected the telephone in
dusry the same as it has every other industry.
In the last three years commodity costs have advanced an average
of III per cent. The average cost of wire, cables, poles and all other
materials has increased proportionately. Freight charges have been
advanced to- point where they add materially to maintenance and
construction costs. Meanwhile, telephone rates have remained
practically stationary.
In order, therefore, to secure revenue sufficient to cover the cost
changes in some of the rates charged for service. These rates are
authorized and approved by the Postmaster General.
Under the revision, effective May l, 1919, the class of service
which you are now receiving is billed in accordance with the en-
closed statement. If you desire information with respect to rates
on other classes of service it will be gladly furnished upon request,
and fy you desire any other class of service proper adjustment will be
made upon your application.
1t is hoped that you will continue the same helpful co-opera-
ton you have rendered in the past to the end that a reliable and salts
factory service may be rendered you.
This Company is operating its telephone property under the d.
rection of the Postmaster-G General for the United States Government
and all of the revenues belong to the government, and it must Sc
cure sufficient revenue to cover the cost of rendering the service.
