IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE.

The News was recently assured
that the matter of bringing pouch
mail to Lancaster on the early Sun
day morning train would immedi-
ately have the attention OF the post
tablishment of city delivery are two
of the improvements contemplated
in the mail service at Lancaster. The
matter OF Sunday morning mail has
been discussed in this paper on sew
eral occasions and while there has
been 10 General demand for the ser
vice. sien has not been taken to
mean that the people were satisfied.
As it is. letters remain in Rock Hill
and are brought to Lancaster at III
in the afternoon on Sunday; likewise
the morning papers from the north
come in Tor after dinner amusement,
while if the change in prospect is
made. with little or no additional
expense they may be brought to the
city on the train reaching here from
Rock Hill at S:23 a. m. This VIII
not interfere With the service on
trains arriving here at 1917 and
1:17. The train from Columbia
reaching Lancaster at Cos p. m.
does not now carry mail and will
not under the new arrangement, un-
less possibly pouch mail made up at
the local postoilice about $50
There are. of course. some people
in every town who would like to see
the Sunday mail service dispensed
with in entirety. but if there is to be
any Sunday service at all. it might
be so arranged as to be of more
benefit to the patrons OF the Office
than that now in effect.

\ SUGGESTION.

Announcement is made that un-
ion, Open-air services on the court
house green will be resumed next
Sunday evening at $50. The ser
vices last about an hour and half
and The News wishes to offer the
suggestion that the city authorities
adopt some method by which auto
mobiles may be kept off the square
while the services are in progress.
1t is next to impossible to hear the
speaker when automobiles are con-
stantly passing driving up and
backing of from the square, and the
inconvenience OF turning at Main and
Gay streets and at Main and Barr
and using White street for an hour
and half each Sunday night will be
negligible The authorities may

Through the efforts of the Mamie
Fraser society Lancaster will have
the pleasure on Saturday evening.
June z, of hearing the Wofford Glee
club. The club. which for several
years has visited various towns in
the state has been most successful
and unusually popular, and it is
hoped will have a large audience in
cents for adults and SO cents for
children, these tickets including war
tax. The performance will be given
at the Central school auditorium.

bale was low grade and the others
were good cotton. He was offered s
cents per pound for the low grade
bale and zoe per pound for the eight
bales. Finally, before leaving Lam
caster, a buyer offered him FAC per
pound for the nine bales. He de-
clined to sell and returned home.
A day or two after his visit to
Lancaster the gentleman came to
Rock Hill and sold his cotton, re-
bale Of low grade cotton and SOC per
pound for the eight bales of good
cotton. He had no trouble about
getting these prices here and made
no effort to get the local buyers in
competition with Lancaster. He
simply brought his samples here
and sold the cotton at the prices
named.
Lancaster may be, probably is, a
good cotton market; but there is
nothing in the past history of the
cotton business in the two places. to
prove that Lancaster is a better cot
ton market than Rock Hill. The
Herald's opinion is that, year, by
year. Rock Hill is a better cotton
market than Lancaster. This opin-
ion is not based on isolated trans
actions but on the broader and more
certain foundation of general trad
ing in cotton.-Rock Hill Herald.
If The News remembers correctly,
it made no mention of the Rock Hill
cotton morket in its comment upon
the letter of Mr.. Thrailkill. which
letter was first printed in a Rock
Hin paper and later in Chester
paper. The News has no desire to
disparaCe the Rock Hill cotton mar
kct. but admits that it is diligent
in consistently boosting Lancaster.
If the chips fall in Rock Hill. it is no
fault of The News
The Herald should not only give
the names OF the Lancaster citizen
mentioned. but should give the dates
on which he offered the cotton in
Lancaster and in Rock Hill.

a New Military Policy

D EFORE the present session OF Congress is
- far advanced. it must give earnest and
thoughtful consideration to a military policy
OF the future and determine to what extent
armed forces are to be maintained 10 meet
domestic disturbances on the ono hand. and
to provide for possible international conflict.
on the other. The imminenco of peace with
Germany coupled with the rehabilitation of
the present gigantic army, makes this Ques
ton Of immediate moment
Tho War Department promises to submit
at early date military program.
Such program tentatively proposed
during the last Congress after tho signing OF
the armstice, but it did not appear to antici-
pate league of nations or to take into con-
sideration the results which may be expected
10 proceed from the formation of such in
ternational union The probability OF such
a confederation is now so strong and tho
obligations which must be assumed under it.
If tho plan is adopted. so pronounced.
th@t Congress cannot legislate upon military
policy without taking the league into account.
1t the league of nations program is to ac-
complish any one concrete thing. beyond the
settlement OF international disputes, ii will
bring about general disarmament OF ma

quarrels between nations are 10 be adjudt-
Gated without resort 10 arms, which is the
primary object OF the union, then there Is
no occasion for great armies II is the firm
conviction OF many thinking men that such
adjudication will not be possible unless ma
tons voluntarily iisarm themselves and abide
by a standard OF justice and morality in their
dealings with their neighbors. instead of
relying upon superior force 10 right wrongs
or settle grievances.
On the other hand. no league in which any
real power is to nhere. can fail to provide
for the application of force, II force should
be needed. The DEGREES of the league must
be enforced. and it may require q heavy hand
TO enforce them. This would make it ncces-
sary for the membership 10 provide for the
exercise OF power. and the question is how
this should be done. Many statesmen be-
lieve that standing armies will never be re-
CURED by the league, but contend that navies

be issued.
These phases OF the matter must be taken
into consideration by Congress in determin-
ing the size of the American army OF the
future. That the country will not be dis
posed 10 tax itself heavily for a great mill
tary establishment, after the proclamation OF
peace. seems certain An army OF 100000
men may be needed, as indicated by the War
Department. for the next few years, but the
