Chlcngo, Feb. 13. That the na tion again is on the high road to prosperity was shown today by re ports from all sections of the coun try. On every hand It Is agreed that the depression following the flnan clal flurry of last fall Is a thing of the past, and that the outlook Is for a steadily Increasing volume of bus lnesa until normal conditions have been reached. In some branches ofl trade prosperity in a full measure has been recorded, and other lines show an improvement that promises some satisfactory records at the close jf the year. Following the end of the stringency in money comes an improvement in collections and a corresponding facil ity of barter and sale. It also has been demonstrated completely that the general public escaped the effects of the flurry. The people have cash with which to supply thefr needs, ii nd their needs are just as great as ever. With more factories resuming op erations every day, the number of the unemployed is decreasing, and It Is believed that before long the Idle mill will be the exception. Chicago wholesalers report that the country merchants are coming in with their spring orders in greater numbers than a year ago. In almost tvery case they say that their stocks are low and must be replenished im mediately to care for the demands of their customers. The steel business, recognized as the barometer of trade in general, has shown marked improvement within the last few weeks. Such ar ticles as wire and nails, which get to the general public quicker than the other products, are in great de mand, and the railroads are coming into the market for large quantities of supplies. The outlook Is for bigger business, both in quality and in quantity, than last year," said Walter D.

Hire Director of Posts Commission Appointed Suggests Long Term for Head of Department at High Salary and Cutting Out Much Red Tape of Present Methods. Washington, Feb. 11. Congress today received a preliminary report of the joint commission appointed during the last congress to investi gate the business methods of th postoffice department and postofflce service and submit recommendations for legislation to effect changes in their administration. The commis sion, consisting of Senators Penrose, Carter and Clay, and Representatives Overstreet, Gardner of New Jersey, and Moon, points out many objec tionable methods of both depart ments. Among the recommendations is a plan to place the actual direc tion of the business of the postoffice department under the service of aa officer, with necessary assistants to be appointed by the president, "by and with the advice and consent of the senate," for long terms, so as to insure the continuance of efficient service. Under the plan the postmaster-general, as a member of the cabinet, is chargeable with general supervisory control and the determi nation of question of policy. The commission also recommends that the business of the department be decentralized so as to avoid the congestion at the national capital which impairs the efficiency and in creases the cost of the service; that the bookkeeping, auditing and ac counting be simplified, unified and centralized to secure greater accur acy, more prompt methods and elim ination of duplication of work: and that the practice of requiring need less detailed reports from small post offices be discontinued. The moder ate application of the non-accounting system to small offices will eliminate about 30,000, or nearly one-half, of all the postoffice accounts from the present complex report and book keeping system, or would at least greatly simplify the same. The com mission says: It appears too obvious to require argument that the most efficient ser vice can never be expected as long as the direction of the business is, as at present entrusted to a postmaster-general and certain assistants selected without special reference to Battleship Fleet Being Escorted Chilean Warships. ment land granted theni Dy the gov-I amendnient. imposing upon the byrnment.
