REFORM OF U. s.
 FOREIGN SERVICE

in no case should exceed 6V, Tor le
 immediate future. The composition
 of the Board of Selection. under whose
 auspices examinations will be held and i educational standards maintained. is
 suggested as follows: One detailed
 from the Civil Service Commission.
 one from the office of the Secretary Of
 State. one from the Consular Bureau.
 one from the Department of Com
 merce. and one designated by the
 Chamber of Commerce of the United
 States. private organization which
 ably represents at Washington the
 trade and commercial bodies of the
 country.
 "The reclassification and yegrading
 mtssioning of all members of this ser- vice as foreign service officers rat ing from Class 1. in the case of am l bassadors. to Class fl. in the case of consular agents. interpreters, and other minor officials; and the salary grades ranging from $20.OOO for ambassadors to $2.00o in Class 14. The diplomatic and consular service should be so CO., ordinated tha. foreign service of ficer' may pass readily from one to the other.
 The feature of the. measure which would piya syreateSt n ossurapca nf ,or manent officers-who would make the foreign service life career-is that providing for generous retirement pay at the end of 30 years service and retirement by request. or on reaching the age of 70. when retirement comes automatically. The three fourths re- tirement pay of officers of the army and navy should be tie basis of re- tiremen. for foreign service officers The latter are as justly entitled to re- tirement pay. after many years of ser- vice abroad. as are militarye officers. Men long in the foreign service are precluded from establishing themsel- yes in private business abroad or at home. This retirement feature will accomplish wonders in fostering es- p,-it de corps of the foreign service: in relieving the beneficaries of the worries incident to an uncertain fu- ture: in enabling them to devote ! grea ter portion of their salaries to the maintenance of more respectable ap- pearances :and, above all. in insuring to the United States Ear more 'effl- cien. foreign service. This country is alone among the great nations in it's failure to make any retirement provisions for it's superannuated for eiEn service officers. The salaries and allowances now given them do not begin to meet their actual expenses. and they have nothing to depend on In their old age. Because of this in- human attitude of their Government, more than for any other reason. these officers are resigning in numbers which give grave cause for approximations as the host of more remunerative private undertakings engendered by :he new era are opened to them. They love the service. but seK-preservation is the first law.
 "The matter of this Nation owning it's foreign service residences Is one wy,icI, ,,rst coutpsond ffse1f An any business man. The rentals now paid by the Government for buildings which reflect discredit on America aggregate fair rate of interest on a sum which would construct most. if not all. of our embassies. legations and consulates. Their construction would make for economy and better morale in the foreign service"

The Salvation Army

We want the children of Marietta to read this edito-
ial there be something in for Them there certain
ly is something in it, if they wish it to be.
Who is there in America or for that matter, anywhere
else earth, that has heard of the Salvation
Army? Is there person in all the millions of inhab
tants of the earth who has heard ill the Salvation
Army? Has anybody lived who did hear praise
and only praise for the unsesh work of this organza
ton?
On the other hand, is there any other organization
with hundredh part of the size and Importance of the
Salvation Army of which ill has been spoken Has any
church other body of women ever so firmly
established its reputation for charity and with the
great populace of the world? We do believe there has
been any such
Few in numbers perhaps in the rural districts it is
better known there than any other single church or creed
all over the world Many country lad or assie has it
rescued from the evils of the great cities and helped to
return to the right and path of rectude and
home and friends again
In the month of May this great organization will
again ask the people of this country trust them with
the charitable disposition of fund of whatever size the
people care to make it. 1t will be another "drive and
drives" in dsrepute as general thing but this is
one that few people will turn down. You may not be
able to give much but you will give something and give it
cheerfully.
We have been thinking of plan which might be a
good one for the boys and girls of any to help the
Salvation Army and believe it is good one for Ma
rietta boys and girls 1t just this Save all the old pa
pers and collect them in place where the Salvation
Army wagons collect them and bale them for the
market again.
Right at this time there great demand for paper
stock and the Salvation Army in its working scheme to
employ the men it helps, is gathering the old paper in
Atlanta and selling it to the mills again They could
easily send truck out often load had been accu
mulated.
Now if any of the young people here would like to
try doing the Salvation Army good turn we will do all
IN our power to assist them will give them all our old
paper which is hundred pounds or more per week and
we believe we can get free storage place for it and we
are sure that the Salvation Army officers would appre
clate such service than gift of money for
this represents personal service
Inc school children in many cities saved up millions of
pounds OF paper in such campaign some year or so
and the fund derived from the sale although small in
the individual amounted to considerable and was
usually spent upon Fairgrounds but this an opportunity
TO do something for nothing opportunity to help 9th
ers and 1T will carry with it pleasure than if Won
were being paid for the service.
we feel sure that about Marietta thousands of mounds
OF paper being wasted every week. and that everybody
VIII be ready and willing to help the children if thew will;
undertake this service

New York. Beginnings. 8.


The first street railway In the
world was the New York and Harlem
road. built on the Bowery in New
York city and opened for travel from
Prince street to the present site of
Union square, in November, 1882. Two
horse-drawn vehicles fashioned some
what like a stage coach of the period
were run over the line on the day of
the opening, carrying as passengers
Mayor Walter Bovine, the city coun-
cilmen and other invited guests. The
affair attracted many spectators and
convinced the most skeptical that the
new horse cars were certain to be q
great convenience. The road was ex-
tended to Murray Hill in 1888 and
reached the Harlem river in 1889.
Fares were paid in silver sixpences
of the old Spanish currency then In
circulation, and one Of the roads orig
lnal features still in existence is the
old Park avenue tunnel under Murray
Hill. Horse cars were discontinued In
New York city on July 90, 1917, when
few officials of the New York Rail-
way company and the public service
commission boarded an old car of the
Bleecker street line, and took turns
in driving the antiquated vehicle on
its final trip.

guished Admiral and Countess Beatty
with all the exuberant enthusiasm Of
a city on the borders of the North sea,
which was the theater of operations,
as 1t was the battle ground of the
grand fleet. Earl Beatty spoke of the
rapidity and efficiency with which the
ship-repair.ing resources of Scotland
had been converted to the services Of
the fleet, and paid tribute to the
bravery of Scottish fishermen when
acting as minesweepers.

BIG MEN AT POKER TABLE
Correspondent OF Saturday Evening
Post Writes Of Games In ,'hIeb
Statesmen Figured.

Mr. Cleveland was fond--Dot over
fond--of cards. He liked to play the
noble game at, say, dollar limit
even once and while for little more
but not much more. And. as DR..
Norvin Green was wont TO observe OF
Commodore Vanderbilt. "IIe held them

Mr. Carlisle, at the time speaker OF

After while Mr.. Cameron and

the limit was $5--that is, raising and

his hand for him. But the speaker of
the house persistently stayed with US

We could not drive him out.
When II came to q draw Senator
Cameron drew one card. Mr.. Cleye-

Isle drew four cards. At length, after
much banter and betting, It reached
a showdown and, mirabiIe dictu, the
speaker held four kings!

D 'ANNUNz|0 IS
DREAMER SAYS
NEWSPAPERMAN

ROME, January 15 Foreigners
who visit Fiume and enjoy the hos
pitaiity of Gabrielle d Annunzio. the
''poet-warrior", who rules there, are
by no means agreed as to whether his
adventure In Fiume should be sup
ported.
Two American women who recent
ly returned from that city are en-
-thusiastic about the poet. One Of
them said that he seemed to her only
the embodiment Of spiritual move
ment." and that "his enthusiasm
carries one away from all thought OF
him other than ms the herald OF his
great Idea. He seems to be voice
from another world"
A hard-headed American Journal
ist said on returning to Rome: ut Is
all bunk. It's the worst pipe dream
ever ran into. Some dreamers and
idealists may sympathize with dan
nunzio's adventure; but cannot see
anything but harm In 1t for Italy. II
is blow to the discipline OF the ar
my and navy and a menace to the
Italian government. At first 1t was
rather amusing, but one gets tired
OF farce"
Apparently there Is, a wide diver
gence OF views among Italians as
among foreigners as to the value OF
the d'Annunzio expedition. Many Ital-
ians who are enthusiastic about II at
first have chilled on second thought.
This especially is true among men,
bers of the conservative parties who
attribute the great gains Of the So
ciallsts in the recent general cleo
tions to the extreme nationalist move
ment as typified by d'Annunzio.

Music to ouell Mobs.

There is an authentic story Of a
dangerous sedition in Lacedemonia
having been quelled by music; and
Boetius tells us of bands of rioters
being dispersed on more than one
occasion by the playing Of the mu-
sician Damon when the troops and
civic authorities had proven power
less.
Imagine today in case of mob out
break sending for cellist or jazz
outfit Instead Of calling out the ma
ti0nal guard; placing a battery Of
trombones at strategic points instead
of a battery OF machine guns. Yet,
after ALL, 1t might not be such bad
idea. Chicago American.

The Art Of Reading.

The printing press has helped liber-
alize and free the people from tyr
amy. Books and magazines and
newspapers have done much to dis
seminate knowledge and bring infor-
nation into the homes of the people.
They have promoted the art of read
ing and stimulated the desire to read
more.
At the same time the very multi
tude of books and periodicals has cul-
tivated desultory method Of read
Ing. a desire to skim over everything
and digest little or nothing. Classic
writings. the great books of history,
biography and fiction have In meas
ure gone out of fashion. ''Solid read.
Ing" as It is called. is not often In
dulged In, and the names of great
writer's. whose productions will live
always, are unfamiliar to many of the
present generation.
The excuse Is that We live In very
rapid age. and there is no time to
read heavy literature. The reason is
that most persons have lost their
taste for history. FOR biography, for
good reading. They have partaken Of
the frOth for so long they have lost
the taste for the substantial.-New
