TN IT'S whole history war has made only
one big contribution to utility, gunpow-
der; il, indeed, gunpowdcr was primarily in
vented for military purposes and not for use
in the arts and borrowed by war from them
for its destructive purposes.
The whole Of mining rests upon the use Of
explosives, and upon mining rests steam
power and the whole structure of modern
industry.
If without war explosives would never have
been discovered the invention Of gunpowder
alone would justify all the wars ever fought;
but explosives were certain to be discovered
in any event.
The last great war brought the world
nothing useful. Inventors were called upon
by all the governments, but they failed to
produce.
few applications of principles already
known and few improvements and adapta-
tions of devices already in use was the sum
total of its contribution to human efficiency.
The one big discovery made during its
course, the Einstein theory Of relativity, had
no possible relation to fighting,
q g
A ND for the moment it looks as If the
lesson of its own waste had not been
learned.
France proposes to have in the future an
army of 1000, 900 men.
Think what that means.
Franco lost in killed and disabled more
than 300, 900 men during the war.
Frances population being what 1t is rela-
lively to Americas, that is the equivalent of
5,000,0 600 men in the United States.
IL we had lost 5000, 900 men during the
war and then proposed to have a regular
army of 100000 men, we would be doing
what France is doing.
If we withdrew 5000, 900 men from in.
dustry We would be doing what France pro-
poses to do.
But that is not ALL
France rests under terrific burden of
Her income docs not meet and cannot now
meet her needs. Yet $500, 900 men are
withdrawn or 10 be withdrawn from in
dustry!
q q q
IT'S larger effects on human industry arc
too remote to estimate.
So great cause cannot fail to be followed
by something more than a new disinfcctapt
for typhus and new insect destroyer.
For the moment, however, all Congress
can see out of the war Is General Pershing's
clothes and the way our American officers
carry their games
Pershing's trousers bag like those of an
English uniform and the officers hirt their
canes like Frenchmen.

POSTAL WAGES
AND RATES Up
Reduced Charges End.
ed; Paw Boosted 10
Per Cent

Local Manager Williamson, of the
Postal Telegraph company, today
gave out the following announcement
from Atlanta advising the public of
an advance in telegraph rates effec-
tive December /, and also announc-
ing 10 per cent increase in wages
Effective Dec. /, 1920, the Postal
Telegraph-Cable company will ad-
vance its charges for interstate full
rate fast commercial kilograms and
establish the same rate for this class
of business as it competitor has
charged since the first of April, 1919.
Since its lines were returned to pri-
vate management on August 1, 1919,
the Postal has given the public first
class telegraph service at a rate 20
per cent lower than that of it's COM
petitor, and thereby saving the pub
lie several million dollars. 1t has
continued to give the public the ben
eft of this rate, Notwithstanding that
changing conditions were constantly
adding to the cost of operation. 1t
is now necessary to increase its
charges to meet a greatly increased
cost of operation to properly maintain
its existing lines and increase its ia
cilities. The service may be further
extended and improved and also to
increase the wages of the large staff
of employees who stood by it so 10y
ally during the troublesome period
following the disorganization effect of
government management of its lines.
"Since the management of the Pos
tai telegraph system was returned
to it's private owners by the govern
ment on August 1st, 1919, it has
erected on existing pole lines over
25, 900 miles of copper wire to pro-
vide facilities for a greatly increased
business and to improve the service
generally. 1t has also extended its
pole lines to points not previously
reached by it to meet demand from
the business public for competitive
telegraph service. The Postal is the
only possible competitive telegraph
system in the field at the present
time and the business public appre-
ciate fully the benefit of its efficient
and aggressive competition and will
support the company in its present
movement to increase its facilities
and increase the WAGES of its en-
ployees, the wages of all regular en-
Dlovees, with the execution Of gang

gers, both classes of which have al
