TROUBLE OVER DISPOSITION
 OF FORMER GERMAN CABLES

Washington, Dec 10.-CBy The A. P) Disagreement between the repre- sentatives of the princal applied and as- sociated powers over the disposition of the former German cables is understood to have about reached a point threaten ing disruption of the preliminary inter national commuGscations conference which has been in session here for some weeks.
 The United States, Great Britain and Italy are said to have reached an accord on most of the principal points at issue but France and Japan have refused to accede to the major proposals advanced by the United States a.N Italy and upon which the American and Ital- ian governments insist
 Acting Secretary Davis of the state department, chairman of the American commissioners to the conference, laid the whole matter before the senate for eign relations committee at a two-hour conference today behind closed doors. Chairman Lodge announced later that the American position had received the unqualified approval of the committee. It was stated further that cooperation between the state department and the senate committee on the question had been arranged for.
 | So far as the United States is con- cerned, the principal issues are control of the cable lines centering at the Isl and of Tap. in the Pacific ocean, and a l direct line between the United States
 and Italy. Italy is joining with the l United States in insisting upon the di. rect cable between the two countries. A plenary session of the delegates tc the communications conference sched
 uled for today was not held, it was said because of the impossibility of reaching
 an understanding among the chiefs oi
 the delegations of the five powers whC
 met last night informally in an effor to bring about a compromise.
 At this informal conference, 1t is un derstood, a proposal was brought for ward that instead of proceeding in tn, attempt for the distribution of the ca bles among the five powers, an agree ment be reached for joint ownership oi the lines. The United States, Great Britain and Italy are said to have sup iported this plan and France and JapaI to have opposed it.
 Some of the senators, who heard MT
 Davis expressed hope that the commu nications conference might. yet reach ar agreement. Senator Lodge and othei members said the differences had no
 reached an acute stage, but they wer, informed by Mir. Davis that recess o the conference was planned soon so tha
 the representatives might return hom, for conferences with their government
 regarding future negotiations.

TRUTH IN ADVERTISING.

At the recent meeting in Chicago of the As
sociated Advertising Clubs of the World the IN
teresting fact was brought out that In the past
fifteen wears exaggeration In advertising had
been reduced seventy five per cent.
That large Improvement comes from general
recognition among businessmen that telling the
truth and square DEALING give far better re-
especially in the long run-that any sort
of deception and trickery.
Advertising of all reasonable and judicious
kinds has been growing steadily for long time,
and continues to expand. And more than ever
the newspaper is appreciated by all classes OF
business as the best medium in which to reach
the public. In these times every intelligent per
son reads at least one newspaper from day to
day, and on the average each copy has numerous
readers Also, there are very many constant
readers who commonly pay far more attention
to the advertisements in the newspaper than to
the political and other kinds of news Advertls-
ers cater to all classes, and one honest dollar Is
as good as it's fellow Of the same stamp.

REVOLT AGAINST RuRLEsoNlsM.

1 St. Louis be-Democrat: During
| the seven years of the Wilson admin
/ istration criticism has constantly
| rested upon the postal department.
| The appointment Of Albert Sidney
/ Burleson to be the head of the de
| partment was criticised from the be-
| ginning as a turning over of the one
department of the whole government
which should be nonpartisan to a
man Of the old school of practical
spoils politics. The postal employees
are under civil service rules and pre-
/, sumably civil service protection, but
there is more than one way to skin
the political cat and Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson and his political assist
ants found several ways. There fol-
lowed long series Of promotions
and demotions, of changes of place
and employment, of discharges of
men of long years of service for "in-
competence" of arbitrary release for
INSTRUMENTATION of every employe
who made complaint or revealed con-
ditions, which has continued down to
the present time. The latest Incl
dent was the discharge of number
of postal clerks in the Chicago office
for "disloyalty" and attack upon
the department" because they re-
vealed some of the conditions under
which work was being done. This
dictatorial and domineering spirit
has made it unsafe for any employee
to accept office in the various assoc
Citations OF postal employees unless he
became subservient to the ruling
powers in everything. There have
been upheavals in various offices re-
sulting from favoritism, both polit-
ical and personal, and the iron disci-
pine OF the department, but SO far the
iron hand has prevailed and all who
have been active in trying to improve
the condition Of their fellow-workers
have had to walk the plank
Burlesonism has already cost the
administration much. 1t may cost
the democratic party the election.
There are 100000 employees in the
department, few Of whom are not
eager for a change, more eager than
they are TO vote any particular party

AMERICANS ABROAD.

A gifted woman in Paris, historian lee
turer on history, and, as may be added, prin-
cess, expresses herself as vastly disappointed in
the Americans visiting Paris since the war.
The American fighting man, of whom she saw
great deal, was clean, upright boy with ideals,
and vastly superior to the present .slghtseers IN
Paris from the United States. The majority OF
these, she says, are useless MASTERS, eager for
sights and sensations which gold can buy but
oblivious to the beautiful side Of the capital OF
France and of French life.
Visitors to any great city can find what they
90 for; and the Improbable is often best adj
vertised and easiest to be found. Europe based
her Judgment of us largely on the two or three
classes of tourists we sent there, and naturally
reached erroneous general conclusions. But
foreign nations and France especially, know us
better now. have a clearer idea of what the COM
posite or average American is like and can
classify discriminatory the types we send over
there today. Undoubtedly there is more genu
inc appreciation of US throughout the world
than ever before; and what France finds to criti-
else in US we criticise quite unsparingly here
at home.

ENDS AND MEANS.

With the aspirations Of labor as frequently
voiced by Mr.. Gompers there Is little 1ault 10
he found He has declared with truth that those
who have served special privilege, greed and
profit have proved untrue to humanity Ills
craftsmanship, he says, is to principles; his "hole
purpose human progress IN freedom lie "ouio
i,nln he asserts ''to break the chains which
hamper the normal natural and proper exercise
Of the functions of free men and women"
His aims. as thus stated, are admirable. All
earnest and sincere reformers must be credlted
with lofty ideals and genuine ardor to BRING
into existence that happier state Of society OF
which they dream But they are human and as
faIlible as other people, and less practical usu-
sIlv in choosing means to the ends they seek The
,atbs they ask Us to follow do not lead to the pro-
missed land but often into some horrible lnoraSS.
For example, as the first step towards restoring
sEthe normal, natural and proper exercise OF
the functions Of free men and women" Mr..
Gonnpers justifies one body Of workers IN deny
ING to other men and women the right to deter
mine how and on what conditions they are will
ling to work The ideal state Of society OF
which Mr.. Go1npers dreams is not to be reached
BY that route nor would it be worth having at
that price There is nothing Of sufficient value
to compensate for the surrender Of individual
liberty and free moral agency.
There are some who credit Ienine with an as
piraton for human betterment, but the means
be chooses bring frightful disaster on those he
would help. There are some who credit Mr..
Wilson with sincere belief that the league as
he brought it home would insure world peace.
But Europe's experience with it shows that it is
wholly Intellectual and worse than useless to the
end designed. We need not quarrel with ideals
but 1t is the right and duty of intelligent men to
sit IN Judgment on the means and paths pro
posed. For it commonly happens that theorists
attempt by dangerous methods things impos
sible Of sudden achievement Failing to reckon

in doubtful safes to have consid-
cradle effect Upon the result should
they decide in the mass that the well
fare of postal employees requires q
change Of administration and the
placing Of the department in the
hands Of another political party,
which would assure appointment to
its head OF man not obsessed with
the Bourbon idea of party spoils and
less impressed with his own infalli-
bility. If both the letter and spirit
Of the civil service laws were per-
mitted to rule in the postal depart
ment it could be made the great UNI
political agency Of public service 1t
ought to be. 1t should be severed
completely from every political influ-
ence.

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing 1t

When You wash your hair, be careful
what you use Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali. which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified CO.
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beats anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cieanses thor
ouphly. and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy and
easy to handle. Besides. it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruf.
