The governor'a plan called for
return to work, then appointment
of a apodal committee to Invent

hiring and report back, with poa
alblllty the report be made baela

governor'a commlaalon bad urged

Intruding for a moment In tho
Anglo-Oorman argument over who
won the air battle ware the natla
Juattfled, or ware thoy not, In
acuttllng their pocket-battleship
(Iraf Bpeof
What with all the hiillntmlno
over the queatlon one might think
thuy were bound by honor to lino
up and cry "We who are ubout to
die aalute you," and then go out
to certain doatb with the Anglo
French fleet, '
There really need lie no dlapute
over that, for there la no code of
war which calls for noodlone eso
rlflce from fighting men.
War lan't a tournament In
which men Joint for tho enter
tainment of apeclntora hut a dire,
bloody bualneaa, Holtllers nnd
aallora have to give their Uvea
whan neceaalty calle, but limy
aren't expected to let any fnlao
notlona of gallantry load them
Into throwing Ihemanlvea away.
There'a no more reason why a
aallor or aoldlor aliould sacrifice
bla life Just to make of hlmaelf
what Tommy Atklna would call
a "bloomln dead 'ero," than there
would be for a fireman to Jump
off the top of a aky-acraper for a
almllar cauae.
I think moat naval men will aay
that tbe acuttllng of the warahlp
waa entirely legitimate, though
not all would agree that thla waa
the beat aolutlon of the difficulty.
There waa the alternative of .In
terment. Had the Graf Bpoe tried to run
the gauntlet Bunday evening It
might poaalbly bave allpped
through the waiting enemy ahlpa
outalde Montevideo harbor, but
It would have been cauxht ahort
ly, became other warahlpa wero
lying In wait for It further afield.
Such a gesture would have cost
not only the warahlp but many or
all of Ita crew of close to a thou
sand.' Probably there wasn't a i
man aboard who waan't prepared 1
to make tbe big sacrifice If the
call came.
Still, Herr Hitler, who gave the
order for tbe sinking, could have '
found no Justification for sending j
Iheae young men to their deaths 1
Juat for "glory" and propaganda '
purposes. What think you the j
German people would bave said
of aucb a thing? Certainly It j
would have taken a lot of ex-1
plaining.
Having gone through a good
part of the world war with the
llrltlah and French, on both land
and sea. I'll lay a tidy bit that
there wasn't a aallor on the ahlpa j
lying In wait for the Oral Spee ;
who waan't glad he didn't have to ,
take a hand In eemlliig a thousand
German boya to tbo bottom.. .
Aa regards tbe proposition of
allowing the Oraf Bpee' and her
crew to be Interned at Monte
video for the duration of the war,
there la at least one solid argu
ment agalnat It. Buppoelng Uru
guay a little later aliould be
drawn Into the conflict on the !
Anglo-French aide, aa happened j
In the world war?
The Oraf Bpee then could bo ;
aelaed and turned over to the al-'
Ilea to be uaed against tbo father
land. j
The natla had a notable prece-1
dent for aucb a acuttllng. One of ;
tbe moat famoua events of this j
aort In history occurred In 1919 I
when the German floot, which i
"no spirit of cooperation or even
recognition of tho rlgbta of col
lective bargaining."

lies nflor the world war, waa scut

naval huso at Hcapa Flow,
Ton battleships, five light erult
ora and thirty deatroyera were

1'lnblan one-and-one-half renter
Farloy advisee hia aides;
"Postmasters should urge mall
era to send their holiday greetings
at the first clans rate, explaining
that when so aent the greetings
may bo sealed and contain writ
ten messages not otherwise per
mitted, thorefore having a per
sonal appeal, which Is, of course,
more hlKhly appreciated ., ."
Ho didn't stop there, however.
Tho postmaster genernl had bis
artlata design a visual appeal to
the mallera.
"Preserve the dignity of your
Christmas greeting" the poster
shouts In bold hnndllnee. "Send
them first claaa mall."
The artlat baa plaatered the
third claaa card with thla stigma:
Cannot be sealed , , . Will not be
forwarded , . , will not be return
ed . . . Must not contain writing
. . . Handled as circular matter.
Down the bosom of the first

May be aealed , . . May eontaln
