The United States

Washington, D. c., July II, 1919.
According to a report just issued by
Director Sam L. Rogers, Of the Blu
reau of the Census, Department of
Commerce, the 81 commercial land
telegraph systems in the United
States in 1917 operated 241,012 miles
Of pole line, comprising 1888, 1893
miles of wire; sent 151,725,22S mes
: sages; and employed 47,227 persons,
to whom were paid salaries and wag-
es amounting to 1859 40. This re-
port, which is issued under the title
"Telegraphs and Municipal Electric
Fire Alarm and Police-Patrol Signal

lures, and is the fourth of a series
Of quinquennial reports on the tele-
graph systems of the country.
The pole-line mileage in 1917 was
less by 2.6 per cent than in 1912, but
vas greater by six-tents of one per
cent than in 1907. The wire mileage,
however, showed an increase of Al
per cent as compared with 1912 and
of 1877 per cent over 1907. The in
crease in the number of messages
was much greater-45.7 per cent dur
ing the last five-year period and 53.1
per cent during the ten years from
1907 to 1917. The. number of m
ployees increased by 1872 per cent
between 1912 and 1917 and by $40
per cent during the period 1907-17,
and tie corresponding percentages
of increase in their salaries and
wages were 59.2 and 1912.
The number of telegraph offices in
1917 was 2S,S65, a decrease of 6.2
per cent as compared with 1912 and
of seven-tenths of / per cent as com
pared with 1907. The total income
from telegraph traffic was SOL ,312,-
SGT, an increase of 74.5 per cent over
1912 and of 1908 per zen as COM

Prof. Garner once before startled
the world when, after having lived
for many months in a cage in the
African bush studying apes, he en-
erged with the announcement that
he was convinced that the apes talk
ed to each other. Later he made
Photographic records of apes talk
and succeeded in getting the same
replies from other apes when he
turned on the records to them.

Italian Sea Power
in the Great War"

TN pamphlet of 1914 pages Archibald
Il Hurd, the British naval writer, pre-
sents sympathetic sketch Of the work Of
King Humbert's sailors, entitled italian
Sea Potcer IN the Great War. In addition
to chapters on The Modern italian Macy
and It's Makers, on the work of the navy
in the war itself, including the submarine
and aviation branches, he devotes a sep
arate chapter to what he styles Il Work Of
Mercy in which he tells how the naval men
of Italy transported the Serbian army
from Albania, task that Mr.. Hurd de-
scribes as "perhaps the greatest single
feat that the Italian navy has accom-
plished, since it was not less than the sal
walton of nation"
Since sea power is closely related to
international affairs, he discusses Modern
Italy and Its Makers; The Origin and
Collapse Of the Triple Alliance; Modern
Italy and the Mediterranean, and Itdlys
Future in the Mediterranean. This
pamphlet was first published in 1918,
which may account for the fact, given it
appeared early in the year, that Mr.. Hurd
makes no mention of the work of the
American navy with the Italians, although
the part our force of submarine chasers
played in the attack on Durazzo on Octo-
Der 2 was unquestionably one of the most
brilliant minor naval operations of the
war and one for which our men won high
and deserved praise from their Italian and
British comrades

the rights Of any other individual. Pm
vate property, historically and in broad
sense legally, is not right, but priv
lege; nothing is more definitely fixed in
the principles Of Americanism than the
right Of the State to take all, if need be,
for the common good. "The power to
tax" said Chief Justice Marshall, sim
plies the power to destroy"
That the State, under this definition of
Americanism, is justified in taking over
private property Of any kind, whether
railroads, Mines waterpowers, land, fac
tories or what not, except for the protec-
ton of its individual members in their un-
disputed rights, is hardly to be argued Sc
riously. 1t can only become the basis OF
serious argument if we are to concede to
the State other duties and to the indi-
vidual other rights than those set forth
above.
If we are to concede that happiness IT.
self is right of each individual, then the
whole scheme of Americanism falls to the
ground and we must substitute for it
something not yet discovered that will
insure this desired end to every
human being. Nothing has come
quite so close to this as Christianity,
in the case fthose who practice it; but
while Christianity is not only not incon-
sistent with Americanism but of its very
essmee-the whole definition I have set
down so lengthily can be condensed into
the Golden Rule-it cannot by any means
be reconciled with a Socialistic system
that endeavors to perform for individuals
those services which benefit US only as we
perform them for ourselves.
Christianity is the most intensely indi-
vidualistic of creeds; salvation is a mat
ter Of individual responsibility from
which there is no escape; mankind is not
redeemed wholesale, but one by one. 1t is
not religion for the lazy, nor is Ameri-
canism a system conducive to mental,
moral or physical laxness. Both have for
their purpose the building of individual
character by the imposition of the utmost
Of individual responsibility, as means of
aiding most effectively in the pursuit Of
individual happiness The purpose Of
Socialism, on the other hand, appears to
be to supply the material wants of indi-
viduals with the minimum of personal
effort ON the part Of those supplied; a
purpose based upon the delusion that
there Is q road to happiness other than
the straight and narrow path.
Germany had that idea-that the only
things that counted were material Amer
lea went to war because Americans knew
that the only things in the world that
don't count are the things made of brass
and iron. We use them as tools; when
they no longer serve our purpose we scrap
them. Socialism would make these ma
terial tools part and essence Of our fun
damental institutions; it would tie mill
stone around the neck Of humanity.
Coming back concretely for a moment
TO Mr.. MacKayes demand that the peo-
pie should rule over what concerns them,
there is but one answer: they do it nowl
II they don't go as far as Mr. MacKaye
would have them it is because they are
too busy pursuing happiness in other di-
recdons.

No More Foreign Chefs Is

Chicago. July 21.--No more foreign

What Is American cookery, and is
there such a thing distinctively? Ho-
tel men say there is. They say that
this nation has not only the best cooks
in the world, but the best dishes, and
the foreign cooks have disguised a
great many purely American dishes
under strange foreign names for. the
sake Of maintaining their own SUI
premacy. +
I'VE have the best cooks and the
best cookery in the world" said John

tfonal Stewards association, under
whose auspices the exposition is to

Like American Dishes.
Americans like American dishes
best. and they are right" he con-
dnued. "Aad the educatcd palate also
likes American dishes best, even
though the foreign cooks use queer
names for them. Take terrapin, for
instance. No cook in the world can
prepare it like the darby mammies Of
Maryland and Virginia. but the chefs
of Chicago and New York copy the
