Protecting the Mails.

The big haul of approximately
81 500, 900 by mail robbers in New YORK
CITY recently does not detract much
from the splendid record made by
Postmaster General Hays in protecting
the mails, While it is perhaps bit
ter pill for the head of the postal serv-
ice to swallow, it is likely that it will
do more than anything else to lead
him to adopt additional measures for
insuring that the mails of the people
shall be absolutely sacred in fact as
we'll as in theory. Having cut down
the haul of mail thefts from several
million dollars last year to about
$40 .OO0-before this New York theft
it will not be difficult for the far-seeing
Postmaster General to sense what yet
remains to be done.
The first step was taken by the
postal service when employees were
armed and taught how to shoot. If
any Offices failed to follow orders in
this regard it is but a detail Of office
MANAGEMENT which can be remedied.
What cannot be remedied is the drop
secured by robbers upon postal EN-.
ployes who have their guns under the
seat or in holsters. 1t is too late to
reach for your gun when some one is
pointing his gun at you. It would seem
common sense for postal employees, in
handling and transporting huge sums
of money, if not ordinary mail, to have
their revolvers out and ready for use.
If advisable, one man should be de.
tailed solely as guard. If necessary,
as suggested in a news article in The
Star, registered mail might be trans
ported through cities in daylight hours
only.
But these methods still ara prelim-

Neglect of the Veterans.

1t is in the last degree distressing
TO learn from the Senate committees 8
report just submitted that the govern
ment's provisions for the care Of the
veterans Of the great war have been
so deficient. When the American
Army was raised, chiefly by means of
the selective draft. drilled and organ
lied and in great part sent overseas 1t
, was clearly understood and expected
by the country that everything pos
sible would be done to compensate
these men for their losses. and their
families for their death if they should
make the greatest sacrifice OF all.
When the armistice was signed, and
| the men returned measures were
adopted to afford them relief. hospitals
established for their care, bureaus Or
| ganized for their protection. institu-
tions opened for their rehabilitation.
But now. three years after the close
of hostilities, it is disclosed in this re-
port that the governments endeavors
are inadequate, its facilities for the
care of the injured quite out of pro-
norton and in many details it's organi-
| zation inefficient.
For the care of those who were
wounded or afflicted with disease, or
| in any manner or degree disabled in
| the course of their service, the United
States, no matter what the state of the
Treasury, should make the most abun-
dant provision on the most liberal
scale. For these men. the wounded
and sick, those who must be taught
new occupations on account OF their
disabilities and trained afresh in the
| work of self-support. have an unllmlt'
ed credit in terms of services rendered
and sacrifices made in the country s
cause. They represent the price OF
the victory won in large part by the
| American arms three years ago. They
stand for the preservation Of this land
from the menace of Prussianism.
| There may be two opinions regard
ing the. bonus proposed for members
of the great American war force, but
there can be only one as to the obllsa'
ton of the government to provide in
the fullest possible measure for the
care of those who came out OF the
service in any degree lowered in their
vitality or deprived of their normal
faculties. The Senate committee
specifically notes the urgent needs OF
the situation in a series OF recon-
: mendations, chief of which Is an ap'
pronriation of SIG. 100000 at once for
additional hospitals. 1t also proposes
| certain functional changes in the ad
ninistration of the care of veterans
and improvements in the SYSTEM OF
vocational training. These and other
recommendations are based upon a
thorough inquiry into the situation as
! it stands.
! There is no more urgent duty pe
fore Congress today than immediate
iattention to this program of changes
and improvements in the government

Whatever the cost, however difficult

Thunder and Hail.

When anything unusual occurs In

who draw their inspiration from other
sources than the telegraph and the
maps and the instruments formulate
ssaividual long-range predictions COW

days. To-day furnishes plenty Of ma
terial for them. After a protracted
drought the skies have opened. and
the late dry fall" is moistened plenti-
fully. Thunder rolls and hail patters
on the roofs. WHAT does this portend?
In some farming Sections Of the north
there is an adage which runs, "Thun-
der in fall, no winter at ALL" Assured
ly this season has been remarkable for
tardiness of frost and chill. 1t may be
a forerunner Of a mild, open winter.
Or again, with that unguessable tend
ency of the climate always in mind, 1t
may be interpreted as hint of Sc
we're season. The best thing to do at
this time of year is to be sure OF a
sufficient coal supply, warm over
coat. a stout umbrella, goloshes ard a
raincoat. Then. whether it shines or
whether it pours, or how high up the
eagle soars," as a western folk-poet
has written, the eccentricities of the
climate will not catch one unprepared.

only fair to give him teh send-off that
IS justly due him.
Aside from the pitching OF Hilbrich-
the outstanding feature Of the game
was the work OF Danny Boyle n LEFT

Two OF which were the most difficult
catches ever made on the Valparaiso
diamond. In the fourth inning Valpo
