TANK SOLDIERS
 SHOUT "WHO
 WON THE WAR"

Brest June 24.-'Who won the war;" is the cry that doughboys re- turning from the battle line shout with pride and at times with a tinge of disdain at M. P.'s and $. O. s. workers alike, before embarking for home. But there is a certain branch of the s. O. S. the members of which might respond to that cry of the doughboy: We've done our share"
 Fffty-fve thousand words were handled yesterday in the Signal Corps Telegraph Station at Brest. The staff consists of a chief operator and three operators. To the uninitiated these figures convey little meaning but U the American te1egrapher, this should be eloquent It may be added that these fifty-five thousand words were not handled in an eight-hour day. The telegraphers do not draw union wages
 Charles Roy Shea, the Chief Op- orator, formerly wire chief for the Western Union in Kansas City, prob ably could command a salary well above the two hundred mark, were he home at this time. He draws a sergeants pay, s51.20 a month.
 Members of his staff are all former Associated Press operators. They are Floyd H. Kalmbach, former As sociated Press man at the Toledo Blade; William c. Holcomb, of At lanta; and D. B. Markland, also of the Toledo Blade.

Prof. Weigle of Yale, who is tenn porarily occupying the pulpit at Ply mouth church, gave an interesting talk to the Mems club on Socialism at the noon meeting Sunday. He ex- plained the difference between social ism and capitalism and said that each question should be considered on it's individual merits. In England, he said, public education was considered as socialism when first established, and our public school system and free college tuition in the west may be also considered as manifestation of socialism.
