A Surrender of Burleson's.

Postmaster General Burleson has
been driven from a position that was
entirely indefensible. He has been
forced TO recognize the fact that men
do not become incapacitated for useful
work in accordance with any cast-iron
rule of law. When the act providing
for the retirement of government en-
ployees was passed, Congress, after fix
ing the retirement age, wisely inserted
a provision that the civil service COM
mission, upon certification of the prop
err departmental authorities, should
hav, authority to postpone retirement
in the case of men anxious to serve
longer and capable of doing so. This
was not only an act of justice to faith
full employees but it was also clearly
the course of common sense with re-
gard to efficiency in the conduct OF the
governments business.
But the postmaster general, with his
accustomed perversity, promptly an
nounced that he did not agree with this
provision of the law. He pictured IT as
opening the way to the retention OF
men who were tottering under the
weight of years. Therefore, Mr.. Burle-
son declared that he would have none
of it. The protest was prompt and
vigorous. The idea that every man IN
the service must be retired at the age
Of sixty-ive years, regardless of his
fitness for his job and his desire to
hold it, was so palpsbly absurd that
the postmaster general could not sue
eessfully defend the stand he had tax
en-. Now he has modified his order.
The door is open for the retention OF
valued employees who want to serve.
Mr.. Burleson is willing that they should
stay two years longer. And if, in
the case of some of these men, 1t Is
thought desirable to secure the neces-
sary authority to keep them in the
service after two years have passed, it
is safe TO say that Mr.. Burleson will
not be in a position to interfere.-Bos'

Soviets Ask Where the

Vienna, July "a (By the A. Pit
is reported in apparently reliable quar-
tiers here that the first stipulation the
Bolsheviki will require of the Poles
before entering into peace negotiations
will be that the Poles disarm COM
pletely, so that the negotiations might
not be used to gain time or to await
the arrival of French or British re-
Inducements.
A wireless message from the Soviet
command to General Pilsudski, presi.
dent of Poland and head of the Polish
army, intercepted here, asks the name
of the sector where Soviet representa-
tives may meet the Poles to arrange
armistice preliminaries.

TEN STATES MAY LOSE
REPRESENTATION
In National House Unless the Member
ship of That Organization is In
creased to at Least 500.

Washington, D. c., July 26.-unless
the membership of the House is in
creased from 435 to at least 500 to
meet the increased population shown
by the 1920 census, 10 states will lose
one or more representatives, according
to Representative Siegel of New York,
chairman of the census committees,
which win frame the new apportion-
ment bill. These states are:
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, which
will lose two congressman each; and
Illinois, kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia, which
will lose one congressman each.
Mrs. Siegel explains that ii the
House membership is retained at its
present figure, it will be necessary to
Increase the population basis in each
congressional district beyond the 2ll,-
600 or major portion thereof now fixed.
If this is done, he says, the 10 states
named will lose one or more OF the
present districts because their popula-
tions have not increased in proportion
to those of other states.
On the basis of the estimated popu-
lation of l06,000,0o0 for the whole
country in 1920, an increase of approx
mately 100000 in 10 years, Mr.. sieg-
Ell says, Us or 60 new seats in the
House must be created if the 10 states
are to retain their present numerical
representation. While precedent war
rants the increase, Mr.. Siegel declares
there is strong opposition to it on the
part OF some of the present representa-
tives, while Others favor reduction to
as few as 800 members.
Mr.. Siegel expects the work OF franz
ing the new apportionment bill In ac'
cord with the new population to begin
with the reconvening of Congress in
December and he anticipates that the
measure will be passed early in 1921.
Every decade since 1900, with the
single exception of 1910, the House
membership has been enlarged to keep
pace with the growing population. Now
the House floor is crowded when all
members are present; seats nearly fill
the chamber; the old individual desks
have been discarded and an increase
in membership probably will have to
be solved by narrowing the width of
the seats.
Ten years ago the House member
shin increased from 39l to AS on the
basis Of a population of 9l,e72,266 and
the only exception to such procedure
occurred in 1870 when 10 congressman
were knocked out by the apportion'
ment, the membership being fixed at
232, after having been 242 for 10
years:
The last superintendent kept intact
the numerical strength of all state
delegations besides providing for GER
tain increases, but even then several
congressional districts fell short of the
maximum basis Of 2ll,0oo population.

due to the fact that the ruts left by
the recent carnival had not been en-
tirely obliterated, and so caused sew
eral errors to be chalked up against
the players of both sides, which, under
ordinary conditions, would have been
clean plays,
Queen City lost an opportunity to tie
the score in the third inning, when
they advanced A. DOME to third, but
held him there, instead of letting HIM
score when B. Pender's grounder gave
him the opportunity. This was the
only time, until the ninth inning, that
the visitors were dangerous. Then
Richie made home from first when Bot
tiggi threw wide TO catch him at the
plate. Beaton, while inclined to wild
ness, clearly showed his superiority
over his opponent, keeping the hits
well scattered, and tanning 10 men, as
compared to the four famed by Green
The scoring for Barre started in the
third inning Pedduzzi reached second

Davidson slashed a beauty over sec
ond, scoring Peduzzi, but was left
stranded there when Comolli flied out

There was no further scoring until
the seventh, when the freak play OF
the game let in three more runs, set
ting the game beyond any doubt. Cal

one to short center and was safe at
first. Beaton followed with a double
in the same territory, sending Wilson
to third. Then Peduzzi lifted a little

The Queen City fielder refused to grant
that it was fair, although the catcher
declared it to be, and the batter crossed
the plate before the ball was picked
up. For a considerable time it looked
as though the old ball game was bust
ed up right there. The Burlington
players left the field and the spectat-
ors ,trooped on. Not until after 10
minutes had passed did they accept the
decision and resume the game.
Immediately the bases were filled
again. Nicora was passed, but was
forced at second by Davidson, Rickie
at short, making the play unassisted.
Comolli singled over third base, ad-
vsncing Davidson, and Bottiggi was
safe when the first baseman dropped an
easy throw Wright, still dizzy from

EX-CERMAN OFFICERS
SIGH FOR OLD DAYS
Under the Democratic Regime They
Have No Chance to Strut Around
as They Did in the Days
of the Kaiser.

Berlin, July 26.--No one in Germany
signs more frequently for ''the good
old days" of the kaiser than the for
mer army officer Forced off the gov
eminent payroll by the reduction of
the army, unframed for work other
than soldering, and so generally dis
liked by the population that he has
difficulty in finding any kind OF en-
ployment, the officers lot in democratic
Germany is hard enc. His pre-wsr
world, in which he strutted about as
the privileged pet of his emperor, has
been utterly destroyed.
Many have been reduced to extreme
financial straits. The middle-aged Off
Ger gets a pension Of $500 marks a
year, but that is only about fifth OF
the amount required TO maintain a
family. So urgent is their need that
movement has been set on foot to form
an ex-ofiicers' association for the pur-
pose of inducing the government to
provide them with land and subsidies
A former officer, dolefully discussing
with the correspondent the plight of
himself and his fellows, remarked that
the expression once current in the
United States, There's no good Indian
but a dead Indian" applied precisely
nowadays to the German public's atti-
tude toward the officer class.
Private soldiers bear out this state
ment "At the beginning of the war"
one said, "the troops were fond of their
officers, who ate the same food, carried
their own packs, and shared the hard
ships of the men. But most OF the reg
ular officers were quickly killed off,
and those left were sent away from
the lines for staff and other duties
"Their places were taken by re.
serves, who were an entirely different
lot. They had to have special kitchens
and milk and plenty of wine. They
refused to march with the troops, al.
ways riding in automobiles, and max
ing the men carry their packs. They
we're bullies and tryants, and the men
grew to hate them. The civilian popu-
lation felt the same way was in Bel
GUM when the armjstice was signed

land, the people there were willing
enough TO provide lodgings for us pri-
Yates, but they refused to have officers
in their homes. Those fellows now are
only getting what's coming to them
In a number of cases ex-offieers have
found themselves inadvertently apply
ing for work to the very privates they
once commanded. These former sol
diers. business men and shopkeepers,
take keen delight, il is said, in turning
down their old superiors. Many of the
Young x.officers are taking up engi-
neering and other technical lines, start
ing at the bottom of the ladder as
manual workers in oyeralls.
After the first revolution, Il was
risky thing for an officer to appear on
the streets in uniform. They were EN-
boIdened by the Knapp coup last March
and. since then, have been showing
themselves in increasing numbers, es-
pecially student reserve officers, who
are easily identified by their pale
faces slashed with fresh sword cuts re-
ceived in duels.
