Georges Clemenceau is happy on
his way back to his sunny France.
That he is one of the most remark
able men of his time there can be no
question. That he made a great hit
with the American people is equally
true. Whether ho ha® won hi* point
or succeeded in the mission which
brought him to America, time alone
can tell. In all events, we are glad
he came and certainly the American
people enjoyed his visit.
1 The approach of the Christmas
(holidays is always a season for Ara
| work in the postoffice, here and ev
jerywhere that the holidays are ob
served with the sending of greetings
(and gifts. The institution of the par
jcel post has added enormously to the
burden of the postal department and
at this time of the year the demand
for speedy and accurate service is
j greater than during any of the other
months. Not only is the letter mail
increased to perhaps double of the
normal, but it is Increased with a
flood of mail l£>m people who do not
use the mails steadily or very much
if at al Iduring other time. The par
cel Post system is crowded with pack
ages sent by people who send little
or nothing at other times and the
packages go to new addresses, and
the department has a lively tinh;
keeping anywhere near to normal >.
dispatch and’delivery.
When it stated that the maita
are being h*?ely used by those-;
are not in Che habit of Writin%jvl?
sending a great many packages it is
to show that the burden of the pos
tal service is greater because the
senders and receivers are compara
tively new in the work. Mail order
houses ship thousands of packages a
day or a week, and handle them sys
tematically. address them plainly and
deliver them at the time and place to
get the best service. Big firms send
out hundreds of thousands of letters
a day perhaps and they are Plainly
addressed, bundled, maybe, and
brought In at the time when they can
be quicker dispatched—it is business
with . * these patrons of the service.
But the Christmas patron has had
only occasional experience, and with
out intending to retard the expedi
tion of ,iis or’anybody else’s Package,
often consumes time and gets things
wrong.
This Is the time When a carefully
prepared Package, conforming?) ex
actly to the’ requirements of size and
weight and wrapping, legibly ad
dressed, with the name and address
of the sender, brought to the post
office at the earliest reasonable hour,
will be certain to receive good atten
tion and reach its destination on
time. Tho letters and curds, in rea
sonable sized envelopes, legibly ad
dressed, will also carry the greetings
desired —carry them where intended
and oh time. tirelessly wrapped
packages, carelessly and even poorly
addressed letters and cards will take
their chance in the rush, ami many
thousands and thousands of them,
will never reach the people for whom
them were itflended.
The postoffice department is most
anxious to serve the public and help
along in the holiday time to bring the
great American family into closer
touch and greater friendship, expe
diting the transfer of gifts and greet
ings and means for good che#r, but
it needs cooperation on the part of
tin* people. It would probably be a
dull Christmas if everybody actual
ly did their shopping early and ail
that—but there is only one way to be
sure that things to be sent away are
to arrive in time and that is to fix
them up securely, address them leg
ibly and get them to the postoffioe
quick!
Good intentions count for very lit
tle without action and the disappoint
ed friends on the other end of the
line are not al! to be comforted by
the assurance flfet the mails are slow
and some things get lost. The per
centage of mail very inadequately
Prepared for shipment and illegibly
addressed is large. The clerks and
handlers generally do their very best,
and some things get to the places in
!tended it would seerrff on pure luck,
I hut you cannot depend upon that as
ja regular thing. Help yourself and
the Postmaster for results at the hpl
j iday season.
WORKING TOWARDS PROGRESS
While the devastated area lias not
been entirely restored in France, de
cided progress has been made, so
much that the American Committee
for Devastated France lias announced
its “last, annual meeting.” This is
significant.
Of 741,883 buildings destroyed or
seriously damaged, according to the
New Ycrk Times, rn still over
200,000 to be reconstructed; of the
9.116,883 acres laid waste there are
still over 4,000,000 to be "readapted
to culture”; and of the 22,900 factor
ies destroyed there are still about
3,000 to be rebuilt. But tbe Ameri
can Committee has done its work and
the French villages and farmers are
to carry on. The story of this
achievement lias been as a bright se
quel that casts a glory bock over the
landscape of tragic ruin. Better than
ttat, It throws its brigh;Urci forward
and gives hope for the future to thou
sands to whom no reparation has
come from their ande t sPoilers. It is a
record of homes rebuilt, of fields won
back to cultivation, of agriculture re
organized, of co-operatives put into
operation, of infant mortality r
jMHBBfd pSfents
The women
this work have made America and not
France alone their debtors.
So when M. Clemenceau greets the
frignrls of the France that was de
vastated by war he will find them
also the friends of the France that
has striven with heroic industry to
heal every hurt that can be healed
even to the hiding of the scars.
Clemenceau may be deceived about
the making of munitions in Germany,
but there is an indisputable record
of a million tons of “abandoned
shells’' destroyed in the “Red Zone”
of France and of a half billion square
yards of barbed wire removed. So
our great visitor may, thanks in no
small measure to the systematic help
of Mika Morgan and her committee,
find himself in the happy lot of the
old monk whom he spoke in his Met
ropolitan address. Trees pre growing
again in the devastated area and may
grow so large that he who has heard
che thunders of the devastating guns
may yet f*ar, as did the old Budd
hist, the bns singing in the branches
above his ffiad.
* OUR SHORT-LINE ROADS
* ,
The formation of the American
Railway Association, with headquart
ers at Chicago, has meant much to
the railroads of the country, particu
larly in the way of (standardizing
equipment and regulations. The Offi
cial Guide, listing the schedules of
trains the country over, is published
monthly through this organization.
When new developments arise, mat
ters are referred to an Association
committee and when the committee
or committees report, the various
member roads of the Association vote
on the question at hand and in this
way changes are adopted and put
into effect uniformly when the occa
sion dejnands, and progress is effect
ed throughout the national network
of railways. The major!* rules, says
tlie Macon Telegraph.
Under this apparently necessary
system, the Association ia controlled
by railways somewhat larger than
short-line roads. This is just one of
the many difficulties now confronting
short line operation a it is manag
ed in Georgia. In the past, the rent
al per day # of a freight car was 36
cents; this has been increased by the
majority vote of the Associatiffi|^B
sl, obviously for the purpose of
polling the short lines to buy their
own ears. The small lines without
equipment are forced to pay amounts
that absorb much of their profits.
This appeam just; at the same time,
it 4s one explanation ka to the ttnatv
cial difficulties of the small
Georgia, and elsewhere.
Another difficulty is that run-of
mine coal that formerly cost 86 cents
has iincreased to $1.76 to $2.60, ac
cording to whether the road has u
contract or not. Increased freight
rates add to this. All other supplies
have increased in proportion, along
with labor.
The farmer’s purchasing power is
another blow. It is said that the farm
er gets about 10 per cent more for
his products now than in 1913, but
has to pay 66 per cent more for whai *
he buys. As result, the revenue from!
inbound freights—manufactured ar-1
tides from other sections, and ferti
lizers—has on one small
road from SIO,OOO a month to $3,000.
Only about twenty-five per cent of
the fertilizer formerly hauled Qn this
road is now shipped. Of eoure, the
boll weevil gets a large amount of
the ldsmse for this, and he has re
sulted m greatly decreasing ship
ments of cotton and cotton seed.
Were it not for lumber and peaches,
some of these little roads would have
a harder time ot it. The long hauls,
however, are not materially affected,
and the larger roads have little in
comparison to worry about.
Geojrgia is one of the leading states
in short-line roads. It is hard hit b>'
the per diem rule of the American
Railway Association, even thbreh 'it
be just, and by the presenflßmji
t>ons. Trucks and are
also adding to the little f bur
dens. t cioes seem, if
the smaller roads would all build and
operate their own shops and own
ii.eir cwn engines great expenses
would be saved.
