100000 |LL|TERATES OF
DRAFT AGE IN AMERICA

How difficult it is for the average
man to think how 1t would seem to
be unable to read and write! That
there could be 100000 men of draft
age in the United States thus illiterate
is a startling fact to those who are
able to read it, but the reader can
scarcely imagine what such condi-
ton is like.
In the environment from which he
was taken, the illiterate soldier was
probably used to his handicap, but the
sense Of inferiority. when he was
brought in daily association with so
many better equipped men must often
have set him to studying print, with
some good-natured comrade to help
him.
Even if the draft revelations had
not stirred the nation 70 more de-
termined effort to wipe out illiteracy,
it is a reasonable belief that the war
would have materially reduced the
proportion of Americans unable to

lish revolution Of the Seventeenth
Century, which transferred the au-
thority from the absolute Stuart
kings, to the nations representatives
in Parliament, who transformed their
monarch into their servant, is in the
minds Of the Bolsheviki the end itself.
1.-THE seeds of Bolshevisn, believe,
are inherently present in the half-tar-
tar nature of the Russian, who is not
yet touched by European civilization.
The change brought by the resolu-
ton came too sudden, caused by out
ward reasons and not by reasons of
inward readiness to rebuild the me-
dieval .ediflce of Czardom.
"Bolshevism and Kaiserism are so
closely interrelated that it is hard to
detect where one ends and the other
begins.

there are present constructive forces
to replace thse destroyed institutions

Commercial Te|egraphers' Union
Wants Postal Chief to Re-

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Replying to
Postmaster General Burleson's charge
that the Commercial Photographers

Morrison of the A. +. of L., and to
the national war labor board, all of
whom are waiting, with us, for Mr..

are allowed an abnormal return dur

these profits the wire administration

that the revenue the stockholders

Mr.. Burleson ranges from 10 per cent
to zero. Even this increase is not
guaranteed to be permanent.
Commercial telegraphers want Mr..
Burleson to keep his word about re-

If he keeps his word he will find
