WHERE LEGION CAN HELP.

Hardly has the request been made by Secretary Weeks that the American Le- zion cooperate with the war department in the investigation which is to be made by special committee of the senate into the charges which have been preferred by Senator Watson of Georgia than posts have hastened to respond and of- fer their services in combating the statements.
 Secretary Weeks points out that the charges reflect upon the e1peditionary forces and therefore upon the army and 1t is to be realized that the American Legion Is made up of a great number If the members of the army that were on the fields of France and are able to show whether the Georgia senator Is right in supporting the charges which he makes Or whether the war department and the officers of the army are right in the de- nuneiation of such claims. g
 It Is easy to indulge in wild talk Nothing travels faster and invariably nothing Is told with greater degree of certainty. But certainly those who have told their stories to tke Georgia senator are not the only ones who knew what was going on Tn France or who can tes- ] tify as to whether tte7s were execu- tions almost every day of soldiers with. out the semblance of a court martial o1 trial. It is perfectly evident that the American Legion can be of much assist ance in bringing out the facts as they are and there is reason to believe that the cooperation sought will be readily given.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mistreatinp Horses.

MT. Editor: While there are many persons who are not interested in horses Or dumb animals l am not one of these l am glad to say, for to me the book, 5. aek sBeauty, is the most beautiful book that l have ever read; in fact, the one that stirred my sympathies as no one of Its style has ever done. It's not over drawn and is so real and lifeiike. I would like for someone to give me soas good reason why horses, especially those which are obliged to haul heavy loads are not allowed bigger stalls to lay down in to rest and sleep at night instead of being obliged to stand and sleep while
 on their feet. These Horses help their owners to make stheir living and se-e surrey deserving better treatment than they are getting in many cases.
 To me horse is next to man and in
 some eases they far excel them. If there is one being whc appears more brutal or contemptihle in my eyes 1t is man who will and does abuse a horse, vhather he stawes or kicks 1t. He is a brute and is unfit to raise a family. He is mis-
 erable coward and vents hIs bai tenn per upon an animal fer the reason that he knows the animal has no one to de- fend 1t. Animals are oftimes made cruel l because of the cruel manner in which they are i'll treated and no one should blame them. Any person calling him. self man who will n1istreat 2 horse or
 an animal of any kind, should be pun
 ished to the full extent of the law and If I had my way I would make the law
 stronger for those who abuse tho horses 1 that help these brutes to make their | living.

weather or hard work. Any skin, even a soft one, will tougher up In that sense. The point is that naturally soft skin does not indicate the type of mental characteristics which are ca pablo of taking such hardships easily.
 There are people who don't mind wearing rouch, servieeable clothing but they're not the saft=skinned people. There are those whose dispositions are impervious to drub surroundings, but the soft-skinned ones are not numbered among them.
 The soft-skinned ones have a fine sense of discrimination. They arecapable of much keener suffering, and are consid- erably more sensitive than the average
 But, on the other. hand, under favorable conditions, they are capable. of getting much more enjoyment out of life. They are not diamonds in the rough" ant | lack stamnia, but they are not so hard
 as the rough diamonds. They respond more rapidly, their perceptions are quick 1 CT, and their adaptability to anything
 except ugliness and sordidness is more
 marked.

NEEDED PROTECTION.

Some time ago Postmaster General Hays announced that the footing of United States mail had got to stop and he let 1t be understood that the depart ment was prepared to go to any le1gIh to furnish the needed protection. Previ- ous to that time holdups and bandit ac tivities had been many in which the less through the stolen mail matter amount ed to a number of million dollars, some hauls being of a million Or over
 Directly after his announcement those who handle the mails in the department were armed and instructed to shoot for the safeguarding Of the property under their care. There were good resulst ob- tained and the losses dropped material ly but unhappily they did not cease and with the robbers returning to their well organized attacks and emboldened by successful, operations conditions have grown worse with the hold-up of the mail truck in New York city where the securities obtained totalled something like a million and half indicating that something more than threats must be made to put an end to the practice In- timations have likewise been made that care must be taken to break up any pos sibilty of inside help in such instances It becomes evident that the postmas- | ter general Is determined to see that proper respect shall be paid to the United States mail when decision is reached tc l place a thousand United States marln7; armed with pistols and sawed-off shot guns at mall trains and on trucks in 1; cities with orders. to shoot to kill for tht protection of the malls.
 It is a decidedly unfortunate condition
 which exists when so many are inclined
 10 loot and rob, disregsrdirg all law ant
 order. but the only thing to do Is to fac
 it and check it as promptly as possible
 and that Is apparently what the postmas
 ter general is determined to do. Tn
 country must endorse his action and
 hope that 1t will be effective.

NEM MAR WEAPONS.

2 Almost from the time that the armis- Hcss was declared there have been re- ~eaedito the public in more or less de- kails the inventions which have been per tected for waging war In the future That these are the outcome of the thought that was turned in this direction by the war is uneuestionably the answer but it nevertheless gives an idea of what the character of the next war might be and the horrors that would be piled up
 That gas of various types would play eTen a greater part in the wars to come than t did in the late one has been plainly indicated From different coun- tries it has been disclosed not only what new kinds have been perfected but what are being experimented with as the frightful explosion in q German city not SO many weeks ago indicated.
 While attention has been devoted to the possibilities of gas warfare, time and attention have also been turned to Inc perfection of the airplane. In every way the flying machine has undergone great development and only recently was The announcement made that an armored machine had been perfected that would carry TWO TO three perfects and was equipped with 30 machine guns all of which could be operated by one man.
 Directly after that the announcement Is made from Washington that a dirigi- ble torpedo has been perfected which can be operated by radio for a distance Of 200 miles. This has undergone ex. teasive tests covering in all 5000 n1iles and t Is possible with such q weapon to wipe out naval units, coast defense. and cities by the use of aerial bomb. and poison gas and it's operations be controlled from the ground or on board ship. This even means a decided ad- vantage over the bombing planes whief have done SO much to destroy the va'u, Of battleships.
 Whether or not the facts regarding tn, flying torpedo were made public at ihi time for purpose they cannot faH [, be taken Into consideration hy those who have gathered for the Limitation conference. Such war weapons ant methods simply serve to emphasize tn need of some effective act on that vii make unnecessary the, resort to then use.

asked Would 1t be asking too much for you to ehaperone asparty of us for a trip next summer-as you are the only person I ever knew who came back from vacation and wasn't broke."
 Unusual at Least.
 An insurance man who is also a Bi- blical student was recently making hIs usual weekly calls and stopped at a res- idenee to inquire of the young woman at the door about the birthplace of her mother.
 She said that 1t was the same name of a town mentioned in the Bible, but couldn't recall it.
 "Was 1t Jerusalem?" he asked
 'No, but I am sure it was a town near there" she said.
 Well, then" replied the agent, it must have been Antioch
 So in the evening when the mother re- turned home from a social function the daughter related the eonvEsation that had taken place when the agent called.
 Tt seems strange said the mother, but he was right. I was born in a lit tie town in Ohio by the name |ot Antioch and near by was another village called Jerusalem"

drawing the idea has been advanced of increasing. the rate of the postal savings banks, which Is that banking carried on through the postoffices.
 With thes government guarantee be- hind it there are those who are willing to deposit their funds with the postal savings banks even though they pay a much lower rate than the ordinary saw tngs banks, but whether the increase of the rate would serve to draw out such hoarded funds that have not been teueh- ed by the appeals of the Liberty bends and the postal banks since they were ,es- tablished Is 9 question.
 Unfortunately there are those who 60 not realize the advantages offered Ky the leng established. conservative and well protected savings banks for the protection of their money and the inter- est paid on such deposits. Too many in fact do not appreciate the need and importance of systematic savings and the putting of such savings to work where steady income therefrom will be assured, but the efforts which are be- Ing directed to encourage and aid the people in such direction is most com mendable.

THE NEW YORK REsuLT.

The result of the New York election was a surprise. a surprise to those who looked for a Curran victory and sur prise to those who believed Hylan would be elected because of the big plurality he rolled up
 IL was of course an election waged solely upon local issues. Mir Curran was referred to as a republican but he was a coalition candidate who was named to carry the banner of those who stood for better things in the government Of the greatest city in the world. the end- ing of the kind of government that has been received for the past four -.ears and improvement along several much needed lines. It was a fight against a well organized ring that has controlled the government for four years.
 By a large majority a larger one ,hsn the most enthusiastic of the lily Ian supporters had dared hope. the vot- FITS of Ne< York, including women vct- srs in the municipal election for the first time, have given their approval to tne manner in which Hylan has conducted the affairs of the city for the past four years. Not only have they given him s rousing endorsement but they have declared by an overwhelmingly plurality that they want him and his government 10 continue for the next four years Thus 1t becomes perfectly evident that New York Is getting what 1t wants, that it Is against any change either 1T personnel or policy, and henceforth ii must be the claim of Mayor Hylan as ht pursues a similar course that he Is sim piy doing as the people Of the metropolis demand.
 IL is certainly an optimistic view whey the idea Is expressed that perhaps NIT Hylsn will become a better mayor dur Ing his second term. Perhaps he will but on the other hand why should he When 90 many of the people of Nev York tell him that he has been doing al right and that they want him to eontinu 70 carry On there isn't much hope hei, out that he is going to deviate from hi policies. Rather will he be inclined t bear down more heavily on the policle he has been following instead of turnin into the paths of reform which by tn vetei of Tuesday have been repuaiata; Sev York has emphatieally declare Ehas- Il needs no housecleaning for a hast four more years.

 .sI bought court plaster by the yard. When the overskirt cracked clear around it was mere ehild's play to repair ir deftly. When the sleeves went the sad way of all tight taffeta sleeves merely whistled a merry tune and stuck 'ena to- getfer, When the waist took upen itself the likeness of a perforated sieve I read a novel with one hand and repaired 1t with the ether. I felt real superior and capable and progressive and master of my fate I suppose in nay ehildlike in- terest in sticking edges together with court plaster I sort of lost trace of how many times I had done it.
