(By Mail) If king had to be elected, there is one private in the British army who would put his cross in the circle opposite the name of Edward the Eighth, the present -Friaee of Wales, Young Edward won his vote in the second battle of Loos, the private is a runner attached to a Surrey regiment, who was coming back f rom a" early morning attack with news Vf'faPW the fighting was going. He was still ju the zone where. shells were drop ping1 'with bothersome frequency and WftS hustling to get out of it. He saw ap ru;oaching a young man picking his way leisurely among the shell-holes and hill .peka. ,.iv. I ''What tho blank'ety-blank-blank aro you doing out herei" he demanded of the stranger. "None of jour blankety -blank busi ness," was the cheerful response, as emphatically profane as his own greet ing. Coming i.earer, the private saw he had been "cussing" an officer, a sec ond lieutenant. Nearer still and he rec ognixed the grinning countenance of the next king of England. I He sought to apologize, but the Prince insisted on regarding the matter as merely one of the humorous incidents of a very interesting -war, suggesting, ib. so many words, that the private "for get it." Stories about thq Prince are not hard to find, among privates home on leave. These privates were last to 'accept the Prince as a real soldier. He had to stand an even more grilling course of observation- by the Tommies than other officers undergo which. any J officer knows is sufficient. When the. Prince first went to 1 ranee zealous generals fearful of anything happening to the throne's heir while in I their "zone," did endeavor to keep him away from the danger spotsJntensc ly sensative of his prominence, the Friuce began taking unnecessary risks i.whcn chance offered; the only way to stop hiin was to. allow him to take his chances with his comrades in the or- ' iftnary risks of duty, he result was that M!. i - v j...,. .n..,-r.l,l.. -"suicide corners" and "machinegun I valleys," "dead-mon's holes," and other unhealthy spots the Prince has won the complete approval of the men. I "Saw Mm bowling acrost 'Eleven o'clock Square' just afore Fritz was due to open up," said one. Eleven O'clock Square is a well known place iu ' a much shelled town where a German 5.9 stopped the public at the hour of 11. "An Engineer not knowin' 'im said 'bettor 'op it, sonnv, the band's just 'Startin.' Crump, comes an eight-incher right into the square, but 'c only lauglis and ducks into a doorway." 1 Or perhaps the story will be: "We .Was being posted something cruel by John Barleycorns Case Pro nounced Hopeless and He Will DieTonight Washington, Sept. 8. Whiskey mak ing in the United States ends legally at 11 o'clock tonight. But whiskey drink ing does not cud. here were 232,404 8.70 gallons of it stored in warehouses at the last report, not to mention supplies iu saloons, wholesale liquor stores and with licensed liquor dealers. This supply will last several years. While the food control law unSot which John Barleycorn is knocked out, ia effective only for the duration of the war, prohibitionists declare whiskey making never will be known again in this country. They are confident that with the experience gained from the present war experiment, nation-wide prohibition will soon be adopted by fed eral constitutional amendment. John made a hard fight in congress before the knockout was administered in section 15 of the food control law. Herbert Hoover counted John out ill order to savo about 40,000,000 bushels of foodstuffs to fight the war. What will happen to whiBkey distil leries is problematical. Some have al ready announced they will go out of business. Others plan to eontinue mak ing alcohol for industrial purposes. Many may enter other lines even mak ing malted milk. The law prohibits the making of dis tilled spirits tor beverage purposes. Straight alcohol and denatured alcohol may continue to be manufactured. There are about 700 plants equipped for mak ing alcohol iu tliis country. Only about 000, howover, actually nave been man. ing whiskey. Hoover's order stops all processes m the production ot whiskey at 11 p. m. "The use of ioods, fcuits and food ma terials ur feeds may not even be initiat ed unless the entire process may be ful ly completed prior to 11 p. in., lus or der stated. He did not give John Barleycorn a single moment's grace. While 30 days from date of approval of the law August 10 would bo tomorrow, Sunday Hoover fixed the hour of John 's demise at 11 p. m. tcciglit because the internal rovenuo laws preveut the operation of distilleries between 11 isaturuay mgiii and the following Monday morning. Two other "dry" provisions in tho food bill have not yet been acted up on by Hoover. One" gives the president the right to commandeer any or all dis tilled snirits if necessary for redistilla tion and use in munitions making or other military purposes. The other eni the uresideut to limit, regulate or prohibit tho ugo of foodstuffs to make beer.

SWEDEN FLAGRANTLY (Continued from Page One.) We are about 6500 mileB from Oer-1 many. Thcretoro unless we have had ! extensive experience in that country all of our impressions must come sec ond Hand. Most of us only know Germany through books and newspapers. Vory few us have lived or traveled there. Consequently we must depend largely upon other people for our information regarding the German people and their government. When Former Ambassador Gerard said there was no chance of a revolu tion in Germany, and that the German people were and are a unit for war, It was perfectly natural to believe him. Few men had the opportunities he had to know what he was talking about. But now another American official who has been in Germany longer thun Mr. Gerard, conies along in the cur rent Saturday Evening . ost and writes a very interesting article entirely at variance with Mr. Gerard's conclusions The man is A. Curtis Roth, former United States vice consul at Plauen, Saxony. Not a very exalted position, but one held many yoars and one which would no doubt give a better under standing of the Germnn masses, than the more brilliant post in Berlin After outlining the- Pan-Gorman scheme of victory at the end of 1918, Mr. Roth stakes his reputation as a phophct upon a definite forocnst of an internal Gorman revolution. The statement,- which we consider of great in terest and importance, is as tollows: It is a comprehensive and presumptu ous world scheme the German rulers have before them; hut it will fail. The people will bo indulged in talk of vic tories and peace talk in vain. They want bread rather than quibbles ; they want lifo rather than death; they want their old comfort more than glory and corrosive agonies; they want a sur cease from burdens, spiritual and phys ical, grown too great to bear and they are going to get what they want I H may seem far fetched, but I firmly believe and my belief is bused upon countless w-ar experiences among the plain German people that the day is coming when the German people will hail tho French, English, and American -mmmm soldiers as their deliverers. The day is : i u :.i . itr:i.. :n Cuming wiieu x rcsiuriii, vvuouu ci. joy a fair fame in Germany; and be fore' that day the German masses will be fighting on the entente side. The German ruling classes and the German middle classes, of course, will fight on bitterly to the end. The well circumstanced Germans desired this war, began this war, and are still bank ing their all upon its successful outcome The Germany of the wage earner, how ever, did not desire the war, had no hand in welcoming it, and today is bit terly sick of it. The nerves of this wage filming Germany are worn raw. The mDHBA nf thA Gnruian neonle. countless optimistic newspaper reports to the contrary notwithstanding, have borne as people have seldom been called upon to bear. Their hardships and suffer- intra am at.mililv And Slimlv brinffiniT on a revolution in the Vaterland that. longer repressed and delayed, win dwarf the Russian revolution in the fury of ita outbreak. ''Germany's autocratic leaders are riding the whirlwind today and they are only faintly awaro of the dangers that threaten them. They do, however, na.nol.ra tlinf all is Tint AS it ahoillll hOl and hence the peace talk, and the jock- I 1L.1 e-:- - to convince ino peupie mw, tltntirrli Ihflv urn willillOT to offer the most generous peace, they must offer it to a vindictive, blood lustful entente in vain. Tho peace talk is a move to gain time; to gain time to Tepose in ternally until tne crucial autumn uo velopments of 1918. This bluff, I think will fail." -. , That, as far as wo know, is the first prediction from an American who has sad occasion to know- the real Ger .. a hrnttli hptwpen the Ger man people and their government, dur- ing the war. Alter reauing ine near, ui tne article it sounds plausible if not entirely convincing. At any rate an opinion from a man in Mr. Roth's position must be givea serious consideration. It is only from men like Gerard and Roth, who know Germany from within rather than from ,.,:.i.of that tlu nvcrnf'e American can form nn intelligent opinion of the real conditions in that country. to go as her own notes. t,-...i... :,.... f this fnct will doubt less cause a complete shutdown of com munications witn uennany vm uv.. as far as tho allies can effect this.

Tee?phone Company Gives Employes Good Chance for Promotion Over throe million telcphono calls are handled by The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company. This servico is rendered to the users of six hundred thousand telephones. Patrons naturally coino into closest relations with the telephone operators who respond to their calls. Occasionally, iu matters of contract, collections, adjustments, etc. they meet with the business represen tatives of the company who form what is known as the commercial department of the company. But the public may not realize the ex istence of a large force of trained em ployes whom they never may see, but upon whose efficiency depend in a great measure the promptness and quality of the service rendered. This force is known as the Plant Department and with the Pacific company numbers over four thousand men scattered through out its territory. These are the men who install and maintain pole lines, switchboards, cables, conduits and the material instrumentnritics of service. They may be found upon the cross-arms of the long distance lines, in the man holes beneath the traffie of crowded city streets, behind . the switchboards adjusting their delicate mechanism or in tho draughting room. They are call ed upon for the labor of heavy con struction and the technical skill re-j quired in the installation and adjust ment of complicated apparatus. The executives of the telephone com pany realize that its plant department must be kept in a high state of effi ciency both for routine work and em ergencies constantly occuring. With this object in view, the Pacific company has recently inaugurated a routine which it calls a "Plan for Examination for Promotion and Increased Compensation for Plant Department Employees." This plan provides for detailed but practical examinations to be conducted under the direction of examiners chosen from plant supervisory forces such as district superintendents, wire chiefs and foremen. All employes are eligible who can show a preliminary servico of one year. No deductions are made in com pensation of applicants for time re quired by examinations, and even the cost of transportation is allowed to and from the places where such examina tions are held. The wages and standing of applicant not passing are not af fected, and liberal privileges as to fur ther examinations are provided for. In general, examination questions are di rected to the effort to ascertain the abilities of tho applicant bearing upon his particular knowledge of the work iu which he has been employed, his famil iarity with other lines of telephone work associated with his own, his know ledge of "safety first" measures and rules, and of public regulations applic able to construction and his responsi bilities in his partieaular territory. A utility is as eager to obtain com petent men for its responsible positions as are its employes for 'the job ahead' and the telephone company is endeavor ing in this fair and equitable manner to find those who are deserving of pro motion. The Company has met with a gratify ing response from its employees, mauy of whom have nlready presented them selves for examination. The Company management realizes that the increased efficiency of tho individual iu its ranks means added success in its operations. For the publis it is a guaranty of a plant well established and maintained, iu other words, prompt and dependable telephone service. American Aviator KiOedjn Sky Battle Paris, Sept. 8. Corporal Everett Buckley, of the Lafayette escadrille, a resident of Chicago, was killed Thurs day morning in an attack two fellow American fivers against five German planes, according to word received here today. Buckley fell with his machine, which had been ignited by an incendiary bul let. The young Chicagoan, with two other Lafayette flyers was attacked sudden ly at a great height by five German aviators. A lively fight ensued, the seven great battle planes circling over miles, the Americans fighting gallant ly despite the odds. Buckley was one of the most popular members of the American flying squad ron. He was 24 years old and was a graduate of the Avord Flying school, having only lecently attained his am bition to be a member of the Lafayette escadrille. EMBARGO ON S. P. San Francisco, Sept. 8. An embargo on all eastbound freight over the Sunset-Gulf route, with the exception of copper bulliou, lumber end government freight, was announced by the Southern Pacific eompauy today. Government requisitions on the com pany's steamer service caused the em bargo, which is expected to be of short duration.
