Bernstorf the Innocent

Still protesting that he had no
part in German propaganda activi-
ties in this country because of his
official position, the innocent Won
Bernstorff accounts to the investi-
eating committee Of the National
Assembly for their failure by as
serting that English propaganda
was more effective. He refers to
the technical difficulties" of trans
mission, and appears to think that
with a fair chance America might
have been turned pro- German. Per-
haps there is a greater measure Of
truth in this explanation than the
former ambassador intended.
There were technical difficulties,
undoubtedly, though those of trans
mission were less serious than Won
Bernstorff pretends. With Won
Papen and Boy-Ed and the others
closely connected with the German
Embassy, of whose doings it's head
was so blissfully ignorant, to carry
on the work, what was the need of
freer communication with Berlin7
The technical difficulties resided
rather in the laws of the United
States against bomb-throwing, ar
son and murder. German propa-
ganda was very seriously restricted
by this unhappy circumstance.
Nor need the statement that Eng
lish propaganda was more effective
be questioned. Much Of it came from
the front in France and Belgium,
where Englishmen were fighting
battle which was bound to become
our own. Much of it appealed
strongly to the American people be-
cause Of the ties of blood and speech.
Much Of il gained great force be-

self. The action Of the Collector Of
the Port is merely to enforce pay
ment of the duty.
Not only may foreign airship
engage in intercity and interstate
transportation, but 1t may be flown
by an inexperienced pilot. There is
no law, ordinance or regulation
which will prevent any one from fly
ing an airplane at will, wherever
and however he may choose. Even
the licenses issued by the Joint
Army and Navy Control Board have
been revoked.
Other countries have rules for
navigation Of the air over its ter
ritory, together with a compact body
of regulations covering the machine
and its pilot. No pilot is allowed to
fly q machine without first passing
q rigid physical and mental test.
The lethargy of Congress is
ascribed to the delay in signing the
international convention on aero
nautics drawn up by the aeronautical
experts of the world at Paris. While
there may be justification for this
delay, there is no excuse for failure
to enact laws governing internal
aerial activities. Aside from the
transportation question, some reck-
lessly or inexpertly propelled airship
some day will land on human heads,
and great will be the outcry.

The Propagandist
from The Montreal Star.

When a man sets himself up as a
champion of one class against another
he always suffers from the special plead
er's temptation to magnify the defects
of the other side. The habit grows upon
him. Almost invariably his vision is dis
torted till he develops chronic mental
squint. TO win more applause and fresh
subscriptions from his friends he is al
ways tempted to find or fabricate fresh
causes of offense in those he has chosen
for his enemies.

menacing advance Of the Boil

The distance between Omsk and Ir-
kutsk Is something like 1900 miles.
Kolchaks armies NAV retreat, but
they do not surrende-not,. at any
rate, If they can help it. According to
an official Moscow bulletin, the Red"
troops, on their recent capture of the
important city Of Petropavlovsk, 166

wiki who, according to a Denikine bull
letin, have been captured by the
Volunteer Army and their Don Cos

tween October II and 27. Proceeding
at this rate, the Russian problem will
be soon solved to the entire satsfac-
ton of the Quai d'Orsay even if the
Bolsheviki succeed in chasing Kolchak
into the Pacific
1t appears, then, that while In the
east the Reds" are thrashing Kolchak.
In the south they are being thrashed
by Denikine, for which they avenge
themselves in the west on poor Yu-
denitch, who, after his spectacular sue
cesses in the dispatches about three
weeks ago, has been receiving one
blow after another. A Bo.shevik bull
letin even claims that his forces are
surrounded. And the Firms have now
declared definitely that they won't
come in and help.

another peace drive. His messenger
this time is Lieutenant Colonel Ie-

CHINESE IN POSTOFFICE

WASHINGTON-P Gen eral Burleson attempted to solve the mail problem of the nations capital by sending his Chinese cook to work during his spare time in the city post office, said Secretary-T UT e r Thomas F. Flaherty of the National Federation of Postal Employees to the committee of the Washington cham Der of commerce that is Investigating defects in the local mail service.
 "Mr. Burleson," said the trade unionist, evidently thinks he has done his full duty to correct postal conditions by having his cook distrib ute mail during the rush hours, but an efficient mail force cannot be recruited from Chinese cooks. This can only be obtained by improving postal working conditions so that American young men will enter the service and make it their vocation. At present the pos tai service is justly termed the na- tional sweatshop."

 The third day after the Conference, I spent in looking into the general sit uation in Chicago, trying to under stand and to grasp that firm spirit of courage and determination which un- derlies the efforts of our neighbors to the west of us.

The Actors Strike made a deep impression upon me. I felt that it was so significant of the new day and the new order-of the union of hand-and workers. Here were these actors and actresses forming a trade union, using trade union methods and figuring alongside of the musicians and stagehands who were finally called out in order to make go of the strike for, until these two old trade union organizations came out, the Actors Equity Associa- tion was unable to close the theatres.
 The trip back home was uneventful. The Shopmen's Strike had been called off. Diners were on the train. Food was there and the cars were clean once more.

COST OF FOOD
 GREATLY ADVANCES
91 Per Cent. Increase Between May 15, 1913, and May 15, 1919-Conference Board Ad- mits Raise.

l WASH1NGION-I price Of 1000 has advanced 91 per cent. from May 15, 1913, to May 15, 1919, and con tinues to advance reports the United ing this period lard increased 146 per per cent; corn meal, 107 per cent. pork chops and potatoes, 1O6 per cent. each; ham and lamb, 104 per cent. each; eggs, 102 per cent; sugar and hens, 96 per cent. each; butter, 89 per cent; round steak 87 per cent. !; plate beef, 86 per cent; chuck roast, 84 per cent; rib roast, v per cent. :; bread, 75 per cent; sirloin, 73 per cent. and milk 69 per cent. The national industrial conference board, representing business men, ac- knowledges that food costs have in- creased 85 per cent. in the fve-year period since the beginning of the war.
 Living costs issued by the national industrial conference board show a wide discrepancy from those issued by the United States government. The conference board was organ ized three years ago in New York. It is composed of a score of manufactur- ers' associations and has it's headquar- ters in Boston. These business men say that there is only 70.8 per cent. total increase for the five-year period since the beginning of the war (1914- 1919) in the average cost of each of the principal items entering into the family budget. The increases are di- vided as follows: Food, 85 per cent. shelter, 28 per cent; clothing, 100 per cent; fuel, heat and light, 57 per cent; sundries, 63 per, cent. This makes the increase for all items 70.8 per cent.
 While these figures are formidable to the wage earner, they are less than those contained in report just issued by the bureau of labor statistics, United States department of labor, which shows that living costs from December, 1914, to June, 1919, have increased as follows in these cities:
 Portland, Maine, TAPS per cent.
 Boston, Mass, 72.78 per cent.
 New York City, 1922 per cent.
 Philadelphia, 76.21 per cent.
 Baltimore, 83.99 per cent.
 Norfolk, Va., 87.05 percent.
 Savannah, Ga, 79.76 per cent.

 Houston, Texas, so.22 per cent.
 Portland, Oregon, 69.16 per cent.
 Los Angeles, 65.O7 per cent. Seattle, 74.O1 per cent.
 San Francisco and Oakland, Cal, 65.58 per cent.
 Chicago, 74.47 ger cent. s Cleveland, 77.23 per cent.
 Detroit, 84.36 per cent.
 Buffalo, 84.23 per cent. r While the figures of the industrial conference board show lower rate of increase for living costs over those issued by the government, the con- ference board acknowledges the costs are liable to increase. It stated that "the opinion was general that rents would continue to rise;" that "dealers very generally expressed the opinion still higher" and that "coal dealers were generally of the opinion that the price of anthracite would advance fur ther within the next few months, but there were suggestions that the price of bituminous coal might drop" It was also stated that the tendency of gas and electricity rates was "up- ward''
