ANOTHER AMERICAN VICTORY.

Perhaps the greatest surprise that the German warships apportioned to this country should be brought safely across the Atlantic was to be found in German maritime circles where it has been main tained that it would not be possible for the Americans to accomplish the task. Such g claim Of course had particular reference to the biggest of the ships, the ostfriesland. which was brought over under it's own power, for the others were under tow but it will be difficult to con vince those who were concerned in the navigation of the ship that the predic- tion was based upon a belitf that the Americans were not competent to handle the warship.
 In connection with the disposal of all of the German warships it has been maintained that they were so construct ed that they would fail to fit in as a part of other navies. German construc- ton has given little consideration to the crews and the lack of many advantages to be found on our own vessels was ex- perienced by those who were entrusted with the task of bringing the ship to this side. Nevertheless even though poor ventilation made the work of those be- low deck extremely arduous the job was successfully accomplished, the hardships survived and the task successfully com pleted.
 The Germans had good reason to be- Teve that such would be the result if it was just a matter of American seaman ship. Their prediction, however, was based upon something else. They had done their best to wreck this the same as they had other of the surrendered vessels. They had tackled the vitals Of the ship in the same way that they had smashed the engines of the merchant ships interned in this country, and they believed they had done the job so thor oughly that it would be impossible to re- pair the damage. And it was upon this work that they felt safe in claiming that the warships could mot be taken across the Atlantic.
 The damage they caused made much trouble but, as in the case of the mer- chant and passenger vessels it was not beyond the ability of the Americans to surmount it. although in this instance it was done after the surrender had taken place and simply for destructive pur- poses.
 The successful operation of the war ship simply upsets another of the Ger man plots and increases by one the cases where their confidence was badly mis- placed.

MEXICAN BANDITS.

There cannot fail to be noted the con trast that exists between the manner in which the present government of Mexico is proceeding against the bandit gang that has kidnapped Americans and that employed by earranza. The de facto government in spite of the improvement that it is showing over the previous re- girne, is not without enemies. Such of course is to be expected and in Mexico it seems to be the habit to take it out on Americans when there is desire to sr1barTass the government
 Under CaTranza there was a disposi- ton to charge such Americans as were unfortunate enough as to be kidnapped with being implicated in the plot and to place them under arrest after they had been released by paying their own ran som, while nothing whatever that amounted toS anything was done to cap- lure or punish the bandits Under the de facto government the situation is diff ferent. Forces have been quickly put in the field against the bandits with orders to accomplish the release of the Ameri- cans and to wipe out the gang and there are reasons to expect that something Will be accomplished, for the present

TURNING OUT THE CAPABLE.

In connection with the retirement of letter carriers and clerks in accordance with the pension act which recently went into effect, Postmaster General Burleson appears to have had his way in regards to the interpretation of the law and as the result all who have reached the age of 65 have been dropped from the ser vice even when it has been recommended by postmasters that they be retained in the service.
 This is disclosed in the statement of the postmaster of Boston who declared that while he wae asked to recommend the retention of any who were still cap able after reaching 65 and actually did 30 the recommendation was disapproved and all were put on a pension. Had this been the experience of but one office and not that of all of them there might be a reason for it, but with all such recom- msndations being turned down it means the throwing out of active employment of many who are capable of giving much service to the postal service and forcing them to get along on pay which is far below their requirements
 It can be appreciated that while many at e5 may have reached the point where they are anxious to quit such work as they have been doing, and others who are older are more so, there aye those who are nevertheless physically able and desirous of continuing their work and instead of being kicked out at a small pension ought to be permitted to remain and carry on the work in which they are fully trained.
 It is not believed that such was the Intention in the passage of the retire. nnent bill On the other hand it is be- heved that 1t was intended that the old employees who are still efficient should be permitted to remain, but these are not the days when the public can antici- pate getting what they pay for and have a right to expect from the postoffice de- partnent The service is bad enough without driving away the capable em- ployes.

PRODUCE OR BACK UP.

When the campaign investigation com n1ittee decides that Governor Cox must appear before it and is sent a telegram requesting it there is no reason for him to be surprised or peeved. In view of the statements he has made he should have anticipated this very request and if as he claims he has the facts to prove his assertions he should be only too glad to hasten to Chicago and tell all he knows.
 Contrary to what might be expected he apparently doesn't welcome the move which has been made by the committee to take up this matter. His assertions have already been denied by the chair man of the republican national commit tee who has declared he welcomes the committees request to appear before them. The fact of the matter seems to be that Governor Cox has indulged in statements regarding republican cam paign funds for the purpose of casting detrimental ree1ctions upon the opposing candidate, He asserts of course that he can prove his claims but instead of has, tening to do so he insists upon the right to do it in his own way and at his pleas ure for the benefit that he expects will
 
 accrue to his candidacy.
 Governor Cox should realize that re- gardless of what he may consider neces- sary to enliven his campaign, the coun- try is looking for facts and not infer ences. It is expecting proof when seri- ous charges are made and he ought not to fail to realize that unsubstantiated declarations have a way of reacting un- less they are based upon something more than gossip.
 Under the circumstances it is proper that the committee should seek his tes- timony and that it should be inclined to subpoena him if necessary. If he is dealing out facts he should deliver them Otherwise he should make a retraction and let the country know what he means and not base his campaign on a lot of wild assertions

THE IMMIGRATION TIDE.

Checked by the war, the tide of i'm migration which has for many years been strong in this direction has again set in, if we are to judge by the figures of the department of labor showing soo,- 900 aliens arriving in this country for the year ending with the month of June and the daily average at the present time of 5000. How long this average will be maintained is problematical but when it is shown that steerage accom- modations for the next year are booked it doesn't indicate that there will be q let-up for some time to come or that we can expect to see the number decrease much as the seasons change.
 This large number of immigrants bears out the claims made some time ago that the ending of the war would not only see the resumption of pre-war- time immigration but that it would greatly increase in order to escape the conditions in Europe following the war.
 It can hardly be said that Europe is glad to see so many departing for these shores It has suffered greatly in de- pleted manpower and it has plenty to do for all it's people for a long time to come. Likewise the expense of setting out on such a trip is much greater than it used to be, but with such numbers coming into this country at this time it cannot fail to have it's effect upon the labor shortage which has existed for consid- erable time.
 Good use can be made of these people in many lines of effort From all di- rections has come the call for labor and the immigrants should help materially in supplying the demand. They will find plenty of opportunities awaiting them in connection with the country's expan- sion and development The duty of the country in connection herewith is to see that those who desire to enter are those who can be rated as desirabies and that full opportunity and proper encourage ment are given to them to become not only good but naturalized citizens of this country.

government is determined to put down such trouble makers and it has shown that it has the means of doing it.
 This is the first instance of kidnap- ping that has arisen since the de facto government took up the reins. For that reason particular interest is bound to be given to the manner in which it carries out it's determination to live up to it's ob- legations relative to the protection of the subjects of other countries and the way in which it carries out the punishment of those who are endeavoring to create trouble for it with other nations.
 That such acts should be committed by bandits does not necessarily reflect upon the government unless it fails to do it's utmost in putting a stop te such prac- tices and neglects to take all necessary steps for their punishment, and steps al- ready taken would indicate a determina- tion to avoid any such charge.

A Late Letter on the Irish Question

Late Letter on the Irish Question Mr. Editor: It would not be worth
 while to make reply to a letter in last Saturdays Bulletin, only that the writer of that letter, having fully convinced himself of the matters set for therein, seems to think for that reason his con-
 tention will be approved in the opinion of that group of people who he says
 are poorly informed.
 His proposition in this regard is well taken, for the other group-the well in-
 formed-can easily read their way
 through the sophistry of his cornrunica- ton.
 This writer is a native Irishman and
 IS one rroud to know that Irish valor,
 daring and intrepidity has never yet been questioned on any field or in any army. A long dissertation on that point, or to prove it, is not needed at this late day. The attestation of that fact is re- corded in the annals of war and on many
 blood stained fields. It is only of late years that Ireland has played the role
 of the -incendiary and the masked mid
 night -dssassin-and it is for this that
 we blush with shame. We acknowledge
 with pride all the achievements recount ed by your correspondent, from the fir ing of the first shot for the A. E. F. to the reception of the Victoria crosses
 but we ask him to note how these he
 roes have been received in Ireland, by

 What reception have they had? Where
 were the Garlands and trophies accord cd to them? Where are the enduring
 monuments built to the stain? We read

O'Brien, that lover 37 per cent of Washington's army were Irish" On the basis of large experi- ence in historical and genealogical re- search, and especially in proving up an cestry and eligibility of candidates for patriotic societies, I challenge any one to produce valid genealogical proof that more than 15 per cent of the 233,771 soldiers of the Revolution were of Irish descent, even including all the Scotch Irish,' not one tenth of whom were of Celtic blood.
