HAD TEETH PULLED
TO EVADE THE DRAFT
Man Convicted on Such Charge Gets
One-Year Sentence.

BAY CITY, Mich.-Daniel Kava-
naugh, of Syracuse, N. Y, was con-
victed in federal court here Of eva
sion of the draft. He was sentenced
to one year in Detroit house of cor
rection. Judge futile scored him for
his cowardice.
Kavanaugh was living in Flint
when the draft call was issued and
claimed exemption on the ground
that he was married, the husband of
Miss Josephine Dix, proprietress of
a hair shop. His claim was denied
and he went to Camp Custer.
When examined there he was turn
ed down because he lacked sufficient
teeth.
The government successfully con-
tended that he purposely had the
teeth extracted to avoid service.

SAY BEEF PRICES
WILL TAKE TUMBLE
SOME DECLINE IN NEXT FEW
DAYS is PREDICTED BY THE
MEAT PACKERS.

CHICAGO.-"A decrease in the
price of beef is Immediately at hand,"
according to statement issued today
by the bureau of public relations,
American Meat Packers Association.
despite the fact that beef already
is cheaper than pork, poultry and
mutton it probably will decline
further within the next few days"
said the statement. "There are sew
eral reasons. Cheaper grass fed cat
tie, which hitherto have not been
plentiful, are now moving into the
market. Exports of beef from the
United States have practically ceas-
ed.
"The government has stopped buy
ing.
''It may take few days for the
lower price to reach the consumer
The reason is obvious. It lies in the
fact that appreciate time elapses
between arrival of cheaper steers at
market and the appearance OF beer
from those steers on the consumers
tables. The retailer cannot lower his
prices until he replenishes his stock
of beef at the reduced figures ex-
pected.
"But from all indications it seems
fairly certain that although depletion
of European herds and unprecedented
demands will hold meat prices above
normal, nevertheless a decrease in
the wholesale and, subsequently,, in
the retail price of beef is immediate
w at hand. It is thought that the
consumption of beef then may be
greatly increased"

life. M. Barbusse is less interested
Ill the story of Simon Paulin than in
the moral of universal applica ion
which he draws from it.
Simon Paulin is a typical product
OF twentieth century civilization. He
leads monotonous and outwardly re-
spectacle life as an underpaid clerk in
factory. He attends mass, has a
healthy respect for Church and State,
for wealth and aristoc~acy. The less
credltable chapters of his life are
shrouded in a decent obscurity: he
takes good care not to be found OUT
IN word, model young citizen. He
marries; his salary slowly increases.
and with it his responsibility. The
years pass smoothly by, and he is thir-
ty-five when the war engulfs him alone
with the rest of the Old World. We
see him, a conscript soldier among his
fellows, crawling, helpless and small
and pitiful, through the dirt and the
meaningless horror of modern war.
Then he is wounded in an assault. and
while he is lying with the other wreck

dawn of the new clarte bursts like a
vision, like the light of a conversion.
on his delirious mind.
From the hospital he returns at last
to the civilian life of before the war.
Everything has changed-or, rather, it
is he who has changed and is looking
at the world through different ewes.
Life, he sees, is not complicated: put
aside the elaborate make-believe Of
centuries, and the great fundamental
TACT of humanity energies simple and

men are alike and equal, and must make
themselves free.
/ The old life was complicated by lies
and illusions; humanity must sweep
them away if it would naugurate the
new Simon looks at things now with
unbllnkered eyes. He sees the STIFFNESS
OF arlstocracy, the emptiness and un-
truth of religion, the pervading TYRANNY
OF wealth. How meaningless now are
the old mbols-Hags and crosses and
the fancy dress of uniforms and deco
rations! The old rhetoric is 40 mucb
empty noise in his ears.

simply could not. Even in literary
criticism, it appears, the power of a
truth is not smaIl
Had Mr. Hardy's fatality been some
thing not essential in his art, had it
not been the thing most wildly realized
in it, this criticism would not. of
course, have mattered greatly. But
the fact is that his fatality is his
greatest creation; it is as much more
real than his characters as God is said
to be more real than men. So that if
God is false! Well, let us test it with
the true God Of Fate, with the Fate
OF the Greeks. 1t has become a fash
ion to find resemblances between Mr.,
Hardy's Fate and that of the Greeks;
for what reason, outside of fashion, il
is hard to say, for there is an almost
complete contrast. What was the char
acter of the Greek Fate? Precisely it's
lnevitability, its expression of Law.
What is the character of Mr.. Hardy's
Fate? Precisely it's perversity, it's ex-
preston of Whim deliberately mali
cious and ironical. If there arises in
the Wessex novels a situation which
promises equally we'll for good or for
evil, we may be certain that the evil
will prevail. Granted that this is de-
termined by an outward force; the fact
remains that this force knows nothing
OF cause and effect, and is simply, in
deed, chance with dash of Schopen-
hauer. The essential character of Mr..
Hardy's Fate is exactly that it is un-
necessary; the essential character of
the Greek Fate, exactly that it is nee
essary."

that Hardy would certainly come
first in a collection of pathological
studies:
ITO write Of Mr.. Hardy with i'm
partially is still task Of the utmost
difficulty: we suffer too much from
him, or, if not from him, then from
the malady from which he suffered.
For Mr.. Hardy is one of our maladies.
He is, however, great malady and
one of which, In the immemorial fash
ion of valetudinarians, we might even
feel proud. In a collection of patho-
logical studies Of modern writers-a
volume now overdue-his name would
come first. And that is not because
he is most Representative because he
is the epitome of his age-who, indeed
could even imagine an epitome of this
age but because his genius is the
greatest, and the malady from which
he suffers, the most profound of his
time. 1t Is obviously not the task of
critic who is interested in his own era
and even in the next to 'appraise'
writer's, to treat writers as static en-
titles in a world of pure being called
literature; but rather to find out what
influence they will exert, what virtue
or what danger his time may anticipate
from them. In the present, at any
rate, the work of the critic is not to
chatter enchantingly about books, or
to coax the reader into the paths of
culture. On the contrary, criticism
is in our time simply a branch of pa
thology. Its most awkward disability.
however, is that in exposing the sores
of the age it attracts a crowd which
is interested not in the age, but in
sores. This, unfortunately, is unavoid-
able.
"The malady which underlies Mr..
Hardy's pessimism and determinism-
assuming, of course, that these things
are now recognized as symptoms Of
disease! lis at once subtle and obvious.

with which it conceals itself, so that
to find it one has to search persistentIy.
At first the unsoundness in MIR.
Hardy's works makes itself known to
us as something vaguely lacking; we
feel there is an obvious, an incredible
defect somewhere, but we cannot tell
where it is. The critic who said that
the power presiding over Mr.. Hardy's
world was not Fate at all, but ia
tality, put his finger almost upon it.
This observation has been of the most
admirable utility; it has aroused peo-
pies suspicious; if Mr.. Hardy's Fate
is not quite Fate, they have said
TO themselves, may not his men
and women have the same fault? FL
nally-this is comedy of criticism
Mr.. Hardy's place in literature was
actually decided by this casual but
profound observation. Before it was

ed to do that which no other country at war has undertaken. namely, to conduct the postal service without eurtailment or restriction of facili- ties or convenienees to the public and at the same time to perform the nu- merous additional activities imposed upon It."
 Discounting Q not very serious la bor shortage, the main reason or de- lays in mail delivery has been the condition of the railways. It is im- perative that war freight and troops should have the right of way on the railways, and the portation de- mands of var have been tremendous It has been necessary to cut down the number of trains for general use, which has of course, lessened the number of mail deliveries at post office. Until affairs have settled down into normal channels wholesale changes in those matters cannot be l considered
 The United States citizen has re- garded slower mail service as an af- fliction of war to be borne with pa triotism. It has been unpatriotie to lose ones temper over missing pos tai card. The Postoffice Department is duly appreciative of the public s wartime attitude todard the daily mail.
 In order to regain it's old-time high speed and reliability the department l IS trying to locate the snags and weak spots in the system as 1t now stands. It asked the advice of busi- ness men of the United States be- cause t believes that the system should be run entirely for the bene- fit of the people and that the opinions of its constituents should be regarded.
 The spirit of cooperation and per Er- smdq adx Tmpir8 9entrrerveey sonal service is strong in the Post office Department This human in- terest in the peoples welfare seems to surprise some of the men who an swered the departments letter. Some state frankly that they had looked upon the postal system as an efficient stecl-like machine, and that they are glad to know that postal authorities are personally interested in local im- provements. As the postoffiee is try ing . cooperate with the public, it seems only fair that the public should retaliate by aiding the postofiice. Many requests have been made of the public that mail be dispatched in good ecndltion--properly sealed or tied, stamped and addressed plainly. If the opinions of the postmasters of the country could be obtained, there is no doubt they would unanimously agree that nearly half of the letter writing population of the United States need writing lessons or type writer. When real cooperation be- tween the postal system and the pub lie exists, the service will be better than It ever was in the halcyon days before the war"
