rOSTOFEICE PROFITS

postal service for the last year. OF

It is alleged that the service has

it should be remembered that the

In the textile field Germany has
learned many lessons in the direction
of making raw material go a long
way. Having been shut off from
cotton and wool for so long, the Ger

substitutes.
Of these the chief one is paper. The
weaving of paper into fabrics as now
practised in Germany is not short of
marvellous. l have seen a paper shirt
which one could not easily tell from
linen and which had been washed two
dozen times. At first they twisted
paper strips into threads and WoVe

in making the thread directly from
the pulp in much the same way as a
silkworm evolves fibers from a CO.

The chemical industry has made
rapid strides during the war, especial

The correspondents faithfully re-
porting the wedding Of Sergeant York
there is no need to identify him
now-tO Miss Oracle Williams, noun
tain-maid sweetheart, have permitted
us to get a glimpse of the brides
gown. 1t was pink silk, embroidered
around the bottom with red and blue
flowers, and it had two pockets made
of little silver flags, the emblems of
the allies, which Sergeant York sent
her FROM Paris.
We know very well what the mo-
distes of the Rue de la PaiX, Hcgan,
street or Fifth avenue would say
about this bridal gown. Nevertheless,
we assert that neither Worth nor Pa
quin ever designed anything so beau
tiful. We rejoice it was not of ivory
satin with gold brocadc, duchess lace

be grateful for the little pink dress
with its flowers Of red and blue ana
the pockets of flags and all that they
mean.

A CHALLENGE.

The Portales journal says the
Roosevelt county soldiers who have
returned from overseas favor the
league of nations. The Albuquerque
Morning Journal will publish any
communication from any returned
soldier, provided the communication
is not more than three hundred words,
who wishes to tell why he would be
willing to volunteer or be drafted
again to fight under Article X. O. the
covenant, which provides that men,
bers of the league of nations shall
undertake to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the terri
torial integrity and existing political
independence of all the members Of
the league OF course such soldier
must give name and address and state
with what unit he served.
For example, if Greece finds cause
to go to war with Turkey to wrcst
territory, which once belonged to
Greece and is now largely inhabited
by Greeks, from the sultan, does the
returned soldier want to be sent to
Europe to defend the territorial in
tcgrity' of the "unspeakable Turk"
If China should become powerful
enough to assert right 10y force OF
arms to wrest from Japan Shantung
left in the hands of the Japs by tho
treaty, do American soldiers want tc
be sent to China to defend the terri.
torial integrity of Japan?
Also, before the Roosevelt county
soldier writes in defense of the league
of nations, let him understand how
the British officially interpret the
leagues recognition of the Monroe
doctrine. In the Christian Science
Monitor of June 20. is cabled dis
patch from London which tells of {
white Paper" issued by the British
government explaining the British in
depreciation of the terms Of the coy

enant as it now stands. The white
Paper" says regarding the Monroe
doctrine:
I'm its essence it is consistent with
the spirit of the covenant: and indeed
the principles of the league. as eX-
pressed in Article Y, represent tho
extension to the whole world of the
principles of the doctrine; WHILE
SHOULD ANY DISPUTE AS TO THE
MEANING OF THE LATTER EVER
ARISE BETWEEN AMERICA AMI
THE EUROPEAN POWERS, THE
LEAGUE Is THERE TO SETTLE IT
Elihu Root asks that Article Y be
stricken from the treaty and that the
meaning of the recognition of the
Monroe doctrine be clarified in ad-
vance of ratification of the treaty.
1t is now known IN Washington
that Japan made z secret pact with
Germany, when it looked to the world
as though Germany was winning IN
1918. The document was secured by
Major Slaughter, L. S army. attached
to the Siberian army for special ser
vice, and was tclegraphed in cipher
from Ekaterinburg to Vladivostok
February %, 1919. and thence again
in cipher to Washington. Paragraph
6 of the secret pact says:
In return for this agreement or
Japan's part to enter into an alliance
for the protection Of the military, pc.
litical and economic rights of Ger
many Germany binds herself to con-
cmde a secret military convention on
land and sea with the aim of an ALI
ance of mutual (reciproCaD guaran-
tees and mutual protection against the
aggressive intentions of America and
England, the details to be worked out
| Immediately after the conclusion OF
peace by specially empowered dele
gates of both high contracting par
| ties.
1t is believed that because of this
proposed secret pact having reached
! Paris, the representative of Japan was
barred from the meetings of President
Wilson and the premiers, and thus the
Big Five" became the Big -Four"
But Japan is member of the
! league and Germany is to become Il
member of the league, and Article X
compels us to send troops, if necessary
to defend each of these nations against
external attacks. Let the soldier
speak for himself. The Journal will
print his words

HISTORIC OLD PIANO SOLD.

Middletown, ConL.~-Tne piano once
used by Jenny Lind in her grand con-
cert tour of this country, and which
has been resting at the secondhand
store of Thomas f. Smith in this city
for more than 20 years. has been sold
to New Haven junk man and re-
moved to that city, There is an in
teresting story back of the piano.
Phineas r. Barnum. the great AM
erican Snowman. in 1850, engaged
Jenny Lind, the Swedish soprano, for
concert tour of the United States,
for which he paid her 1902, 900 and
contracted with company in New
York to construct a mammoth square
piano for the concerts at a cost Of
S5, 900 While this piano was in pub
lie use, no duplicate was to be made.
Its case and legs were of Santo Do
mingo mahogany, enameled in ivory
and embelished in gold. Otto
Goldschmidt was her accompanist on
the Crystal palace piano. and married
Jenny Lind while theye were on the
concert tour in this country.
The Crystal Palace was destroyed
by fire in 1857 and the late Allyn NJ.
Colegrove of this city, owner of the
McDonough house block, bought the
piano for private use for $1,000 and
had ii removed to his home, called
Colegrove castle. on the Middlefield
road, where It remained mute for
more than 40 years. Many old citi-
cents may recall seeing the instru-
ment there in the hack parIor. its top
forming a storage for discarded and
out of season hose. scythes and farm
ing tools for which there was not
room on the veranda or in the yard.
After the death of Mr. Colegrove, Mr..
Smith bought the piano and has had
it at his store ever since.

Aldo Leopold, secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce. contends in a
communication printed elsewhere
that the great question regarding the
public domain is not who shall collect
the taxes. but under what manage
ment the grass would be best con-
served. He says both those who ia
vor continued federal control and
those who favor the turning over OF
the public lands to the states in which
they are located have missed the
mark.
The journal doesn't believe the
mark has been missed by either. The
only excuse for retention of the public
lands by the federal government is
the homestead. Mr.. Leopold con-
cedes that there are no more home
stead lands to be had.
The contention for the state of New
Mexico, for Xample, to control Its
lands is that the state is vast in area
and sparsely populated, and that
roads and schools must be maintained
that the remaining public domain
should be turned over to the state
to be sold to cattle and sheep men,
as fast as such sales can be made ad-
vantageously, meantime the state
should have the income from leases
Private ownership would conserve
the grass quite as well as it would be
conserved by the government. We
all know now that the federal gov
eminent is the most wasteful of all
managers, it makes no difference to
what it turns its attention.
In the hands of the state a fund
which should be absolutely permanent
of not less than forty million dollars
would be created. Expert estimates
put the fund as high as sixty millior
dollars. Beyond question. the annua
income from such fund would not be
less than two million dollars to he
used for the maintenance of roads anC
schools. 1t would relieve the tax
payers of the equivalent of their en-
tire state taxes at the present time
Until such sales were made almost a
much would be realized from leases
AS fast as the lands went into the
hands of private owners the owner
would become taxpayers, and New
Mexico's taxation problem would be
solved permanently.
From her public school lands Ne
braska now has a fund of between
forty and fifty million dollars. Soutl
Dakota has fund of about fifteci
million dollars and school lands un
sold valued at about sixty million dol
lars. New Mexico. with an area twic
as great as that of either state, hat
practically nothing.

Editor Morning Journal

Editor Morning Journal:
It appears to me that Mr.. Andrews
letter appearing in this morning $
Journal, and your editorial on the
public domain. both fail to hit the
nail sQuarely on the head.
Mr.. Andrews letter. your editorial,
and all the other recent discussions
of the subject that | have seen. either
assert or imply that the question of
state control VS.. federal control of
the public domain hinges on the rev.
enues acCruing to the public treasury
1t seems to me that the question of
direct public revenues. either state or
federal, is by no means the principal
point to be considered. The principal
point is: What system of control will
restore the public domain to pro-
ductivity?
In measuring agricultural prosper
jty, We think of how much corn, al
falfa, wheat and livestock our lands
are producing and how many homes
they support-and only incidentally
of how much taxes they return to the
treasury. Likewise, IN considering
the public domain question we should
ask; Which system of control will pro-
duce the most grass and the most
homes-anu only incidentally which
system will pay the most taxes? II
we can restore the public domain to
productivity, the taxes and revenues
will take care of themselves.
Before discussing the question of
state versus federal control from this
viewpoint, it will probably clear the
atmosphere to assert that al parties
to this dispute seem united on two
points: First. the homestead system
has reached the end of its rope;
second, that the present system of
handling the public domain is intol-
cradle, The present system of catch
as-eatch can, and the devil take the
hindmost, is destroying the RANGE and
benefitinS neither the state, the ma
ton, nor the individual Some new
plan must be adopted.

LOSSES EXCEEDED 20 MILLION.

(From the final report of Field
Marshal Sir Douglas Hais, commander
in chief of the British armies in
France, in the London Tmes)
The total British casualties in the
theater of war-7kilIed, wounded, miss
ing and prisoners. including native
troops-are 3,076.3SS. OF this total
2,56S,S34 were incurred on the west
ern front. ..
The total French losses-llled,
missing and prisoners, but exclusive
of wounded. have been given official
ly as approximately 1,S3l.OO0. If an
estimate for wounded IS added the
total can scarcely be less than $780,
600, and of this total it is fair to as
sumo that more than 100000 were
incurred on the western front.
The published figures for Italy,
killed and wounded only. exclusive of
prisoners. amount to 100000. of
which practically the whole were in
Cured in the western theater of war.
Figures have also been published
for Germany and Austria. The total
German asualties-killed. wounded,
missing and prisoners-are given at
approximately 6,4S5.0O0 of which the
vaster greater proportion must have
been incurred on the western front,
where the bulk of the German forces
were concentrated and the hardest
fighting took place. In view of the
fact, however. that the number of
German prisoners is definitely known
to be considerably understated. these
figures must he accepted with re-
serve.
The losses of Austria Hungary in
killed, missing and prisoners are
given as approximately 2,772,O00. An
estimate of wounded would give q
total of more than 100000.

preparing to apply this principle (gen-

argument against federal control. On
