A _ bill that vroposes to grant the
usu;H annual leave with pay to em
ployes of tue i'ost Office Depart
ment wh> enter the military service
lias been introduced by Congress
man Noriaaa J. Gould of New York.
The law which provides that an
employe may not draw two salaries
from the government when, they
total more than $2,UUU is set aside
i.i .Mr. Gold's bill so as to enable
U « lJoiJt iOffice employes to draw
both their poet office and military
compensations until the period .of
their lea-ve is exhausted. The pass
age of Air. Gould's measure will be
u relief to many young men who
have already enlisted, or who may
bo drafted, and removes tlje penalty
which would otherwise attach to
them for promptly enlisting instead
of first uking u .vacation of ft

SUCCESS TO THIS STRIKE
\Yi h whatever fortitude heaven
ias given us, we shall endure the
horrors of the hunger strike be
gun in. iilleusburg, Wash-, , by 61
membfi 4 of the pestiferous I. \V.
W. These rascal 3 were arrested
for intimidating workmen in Ellens
burg, and having been boused la &
temporary prison, were served with!
food. They decliue to eat, and have
informed Sheriff Garrison that as
long as they are kei>t in jail, they
will ktqp up the hunger t strike.
They have let it be known that they
intend to starve themselves ,to
death, so that civil and criminal
suits may be brought against the
Sheriff.
With extraordinary equanimity,
Sheriff Garrison, views the efforts
of the vicious I. W. W. to "get
the law on him." He says if their
h<*ir3 sue him for damages, I he
will set up a counterclaim for room
rent; an* if he is charged,with mui.
der, ne will be able to prove con
tributory negligence. In thejmean
time, he is thinking of having the
gang engaged in the hunger strike
arrested;on the charge of trying to
commit suicide—a crime which,
while not sedious | enough to m«rtt
capital punishment, ig yet great
enough to earn a term on the rock
pile. J• -j }"f J
There is grave fear that [the vil
lians in jail in Elleiisburg will
not carry out their threat. (Al
ready, four of them have broken
away from the control of the hun
ger [strike leaders, and are eating
heartily and obstreperously. [It
would afford the peaceful, law
abiding citizens of the Pacfiic
Coast a,'deal of satisfaction to see
this strike carried to a successful
ponclusion.—roitmnd Spectator. _
SOUDEIB ill
IS HANDLED
The Post Office Department au
thorizes the following:
Postmaster General- Burleson has
received from Marcus H. flunn, Un
ited States i>otsal agent in France,
a reoort upon the work of establish
ing there a (postal agency for the
benefit of (the members of our ex
peditionary force. Xhe agency haa
bee« in operation for several
weeks with a full corps of assist
ants, so (that soldiers' mail ig now
handled without interruption.
Besides the'bas§ poet office, to
which all mail is sent direct, branch
es for 'soldiers have been estab
lished in Paris, at one of the (im
portant seaports, and where the sol
diers otn in training. Postal Agent
Bunn and hid 'staff arrived at the
scene of military activity some time
before his equipment, but on j the
morning following his arrival he
opened a temporary post office in a
room 12 by|16 in the basoment of
the Army headquarters and impro
vised mail facilities fcy using |. au
overturned wardrobe and empty box*
eg for counters and by Jianglng mall
bags for the distribution of accum
ulated mail.
Hie postal service with,the. Army
consists of picked men from the
Railway Mail Service and the money
order ,aud registry divisions of
city post offices. The number of
men selected for the I wort as a
matter of precaution exceeds, the
presen* needs, but it has been
thought best to have a suffic.'eat
force on the ground and ini reading
to handle properly the mail for the
much larger military force] which
will later go to France. The postal
uniform is an olive drab with [the
letters "U. S." on either side' of
the throat on the collar and | with
the brassard 2% inches wide, with
the red letters "P. S." on the left
arm. |
All the elaborate postal equip
ment which Postmaster General
Burleson directed should go to
France has been installed and the
employes have been assigned to
their various posts, with the re
sult thai full postal facilities are
now at the disposal of our soldiers
in France. i ?

THE INDVDUAL SOLDIER
\
COUNTS.
Other thinge being equal, tui |ar
my made up of self-reliant, think
ing men has a great advantage over
a merely machlae-lik© army, and
this is especially true in present
day j warfare. Maj. Gen. Hugh L.
Scott, Chief of Staff, U. S. A., re
ma-rks|on this point;
"The conditions under which mod
ern wars are fought are/ever makln
increasing demans on the individual
soldier. » • • The Individual sol
dier must,know how to interpret ac
curately order and signals, for the
enemy's fire ihay often |eo isolate
from his leader and comrades, per
haps only a step away, that he taay
be thrown on his own initiative in
making his actions conform to
those of the,whole line; he may
bave to use his own judgment in
opening fire, in advancing, in in
trenching."
PAIR PLAY
A second tradition, of the Ameri
can Army, wbich need only be! men
ionod, is that of fighting fairly and
treating oven the enemy -jvlth as
jnuchjhumanity as his own conduct
will permit. As for slaughtering
or enslaving j the civilian population
of captured territory, attacking pris
oners or assaulting woman, Am
erican soldiers would as little com
mit such crimes in time of war
as in time of peace. [In this re
spect most of the civilized nations
of the world think alike, j'
FRENCH WOMEN QUIT
CIGARETTE SMOKING
Women have slopped smoking in
France
| "Save your cigarettes for the sol
diers," is the newest of (feminine
slogans upon the continent.
It has remained for Mary Gar
den, international ^operatic favorite,
to chronicle a little sacrifice! French
women are making by way of ["do
ing their bit."
In a letter from Paris the fa
mous diva says:
"It is a little thing, to be;Bure,
jul French women have given up
smoking during the [war. They
still buy cigarettes, J>ut[ they do
not smoke them. They are sent
to the front. They say j that al
most more than anything else Bol
dlers at the front must j have cig
arettes. Apparently they lessen
the high nervous strain of the men
who are almost continually under
fire. " The soldier returning from
the front want,} to carry [cigarettes
back to comrades in the trenches.
"The French women In all class
es [of society have given up their
after-dinner smoke. They are sav
ing and 'sending (their cigarettes to
the front. The woman now 'who will
brave public opinion by (exhibiting
a filigreed cigarette case in a
cafe is exceptional. They have
made this [little sacrifice with the
same readiness with which they
have made far greater ^ones."
Women Give Out
Housework is,hard enough, when
healthy. Every Skagway woman who
is having |backache, blue and ner
vous spells, dizzy headaches land
kidney or bladder troubles, | ehould
be glad to hoed this grateful wo
man's experience.
Mrs. .Frohwerk, 687 York St.,
Portland, Ore., says: "My kidneys
acted too often and ray jfeet and
ankles swelled. I jhad to go to'
the hospital and the doctor* .said
I had uraemic poisoning. | I suf
fered terribly with sharp pains in
the small of my back. Whettfl re
turned I still suffered with pains la
my back. Later I wag again taken
to the hospital and I can't describe
how I suffered. All that [ spring,
after I came home, I had that
trouble and finally aJnurBe told me
to try Doan's Kidney} Pills. I'm
glad I did for they cured me of ev
ery sign offkidney complaint."
WELL EVER SINCE
Mrs. Frohwerk gave jthe above
statement November IS, 19JS and'
oa May 22, 1917 phe added: ["Doan'i
Kidney Pills saved my life when
they cured me of kidney trouble.
I |hava been strong and well ever
since.''
Price 60c, |at ail dealers. Don't
simply fask for. a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the (same
that Mrs. Frohwerk had. Foster
