GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS"

Recently friends in Massachusetts
sent package by express to a fairly
weIIknown resident of this city, ad-
dressing it to Hartford, but emitting
the street and number which would
have completed his address. The ex.
press company sent the package to
Newark, N. j., where employees disco
vered that it was intended for delivery
in this city and sent it here.
In due time the Massachusetts re-
sidents wrote to the consisnee in this
city expressing the hope that he had
received the package, and thus giving
him his first intimation that it had
been sent. He then got in touch with
the express officials in this city, and,
in time, the package was brought to
his home. Then, when the consienor
complained Of the delay, he was told
by the man who delivered the pack
age that the employees We're under
orders not to make an effort to supply
or complete missing or defective ad-
dresses, and then he added, I'VE are

PICKING AMBASSADOR
TO BERLIN DIFFICULT

London August 26.-Britain ia
finding considerable difficulty in
determining on prospective am
bassador to Germany. Appoint
ment of an oldtime diplomat such
as Sir Edward Goschen, who serv-
ed in Berlin for years up to the
outbreak of the war, is out Of the
question because of the change in
Germany, and man with proved
democratic leanings or even social
isl tendency is being sought.
George ~ Barnes, minister with
cut portfolio in the war cabinet,
who was one of the British empire S
peace delegates at Paris, was APP
preached but declined the offer. ac-
cording to the Daily News. Barnes,
for years identified with British or
ganized labor, is not ''laborite" in
the accepted sense of the word.
He has consistently steered clear of
"entangling alliances" withtheradi-
cal sections of British labor and in
d degree is now an outsider.

GEN. PERSHING SOON TO
WE'D. Is RENEWED RUMOR

Washington August 26.-The ma
tional capital is discussing again
the rumor that Gen. Pershing is
soon to be married. The story is
printed here that the general is eX-
pected home on the Leviathan, and
with him, perhaps, according to
word being whispered around, his
bride"
The report of his being engaged,
which was circulated and denied
shortly after he went to France, is
being circulated with renewed en-
ergy. The prospective bride named
is the same-the daughter OF
George Patton, of Los Angeles. Her
brother, Mai Joseph Patton, was
with the A. f. f. throughout the
war, at general headquarters.
He returned to Los Angelesf sew
eral weeks ago. Meanwhile those
who claim they know seem peifect-
~ sure that either an engagdnent
or wedding viii be announced i'm
mediately alter the generals rAurA
There seems to be an eatire
agreement that the denials OF Nhn
engagement came merely becauge
at the time no one knew how Iona
the war might last, and while IL
lasted the marriage was out of the
question.

WOULD LET DEAD
REST IN FRANCE
Pershing Thinks This Wise Course,
Tho Relatives Disagree


Washington, August give
should leave our dead near where
they fell'' is the mature Judgment
expressed by General Pershing in
cable received today by the War
Department on the question Of
bringing the American dead home
from France.
That this judgment is not shared
by relatives of the dead men is in
dictated by letters received by the
War Department which show that
they are three to one in favor of
bringing the bodies home. The
War Departm .nts opposition to
the decree of The French govern
ment forbidding removal of bodies
of Americans until the French As
sembly has acted on the bill against
removal of bodies has been laid be-
lore the French Foreign Office.
Would Please Allies
General Pershirg's message
reads: - believe it inadvisable to
return dead from England and
France before definite decision as
to entire question and particularly
before final action in France Have
given the entire question of our
deaG men thought and my opinion
is that we should leave our dead
near where they fell Am sure
that this course would be fully APP
preciated by the allies and TINT
our government will be given ev-
cry facility for identifying and car
ing for the cemeteries already es-
taDished on the fields won by our
heroic dead
"iolieve that could these soldiers
speak for themselves they would
wish to be left undisturbed in the
place where with their comrades
.tiley fought the~la4t Gght. Those
who rest in England gave their
lives in the same cause and their
remains represent the same saliva
ton as those who lie on the battle
fields.
appealing Sentiments
The grave Of our soldiers con-
stitute, if they are allowed to re-
main, perpetual reminder TO our
allies Of the liberty and ideals up
on which the greatness of America
tests. Think the sentiments above
outlined are held many who have
given this subject thought. These
sentiments should appeal to he re-
'at,Ies and friends.
Recommend that more of our
d,ai be removed from IA o U1-

mand after full understanding of
all the sentimental reasons against

CONSIDER THE TORTOISE

Doubtless you will recall the story
in one Of the old readers of our early
school days about the race between
the hare and the tortoise. One the
fastest of the fast; the other the slow
est of the slow.
And how, by diligently plodding
along and never stopping for a mo-
ment, the tortoisefi nished a winner
while his over confident rival slept by
the wayside
That lesson is just as pertinent for
you you today, Mr.. Grownup, as it was
when you were youngster.
You are engaged right now in a race
with fortune. Someway, somehow,
someday you hope to be Independent.
To live in ease and comfort. Without
working.
Possibly you've been plodding along
like the tortoise, tirelessly, diligently.
Possibly, like the hare, you've been
going by fits and starts.
At all events the end of the race is
not in sight.
You've gone far enough to know
that II you must finish the race. That
you cannot go to sleep on the Job and
do 1t. You daren't loiter.
You must keep on laying by little
here, little there; a little today and
some more tomorrowy. Keeping al
ways in mind that every little bit
helps.
Possibly you've taken advantage Of
the Liberty Loan campain to speed up
triae when the going was good. Like
the tortoise going down hill.
And possibly you stopped like the
hare TO take a roadside nap.
Right now you may be resting up;
the road may have been rocky.
But either way you must keep up

DELIVER THE GOODS

Never were the storehouses of the
world so empty as they are right now
after four years of the world war has
put drag upon world industry.
Never were prices higher, demand
keener in the remote places, the op-
! portunities greater for an extension of
our foreign commerce.
Never was America in so good a
position to reach out and take FIRM
hold upon the markets of the world.
But it is up to us to deliver the
goods,
We will never accomplish this by
looking for the gloomy side of every
thing.
1t is up to us to buy confidently,
sell energetically, talk enthusiastically
but above all to think cheerfully and
confidently.
To get musy right off the bat and go
after the business
Uncle Sam is going right along with
his ship building plans. Before he is
finished we will have sufficient Ameri-
can tonnage to handle about every
thing we will be able to offer to the
foreign trade.
He is willing to be his part for
American industry, American CON-
merce, American finance and Ameri-
can prosperity.
But we must do our share at the
same time.
Part of the victory-Liberty Loan
proceeds will 60 toward the compile
tion Of these new American ships to be
operated under government control.
These vessels first of all will be al
the disposal of American industry and
commerce. They're being built to give
new life to both.
And when these abe booming you
and and our neighbors are all reap
ing the benefits, participating in the
fruits of the good times.
We shouldn't hesitate therefore tC
help the good work along.
We must deliver the goods also, just
as must commerce and industry.
Our part is to share our earnings
our savings if need be, with Uncle
Sam.
There's no risk in investing then
in the Victory-Liberty Loan.
