To u certain extent, this sort of a law would be effective In anticipation of the passage of a law, and when passed would be retroactive. Such a measure wt this time, as In the case of the f tee jioit Idea, is regarded as iop likely to lnolve a polltlcnl, if not a constitutional, controersy.

A GOOD-NATURED rumor concerns Postmaster General Burleson and , the acriulsltion of tho telegraph lines. ! From time immemorial the long-whls- kered messenger boy arriving with the telcgrum that was handed to him In h" yth. ho. been the stock Joke ot the newspaper cartodnlst, Cut that uncieni courier nas become a reality in Washington. He wears a uniform, Is bearded and adjusts his nose glasses before ho hands you the delivery slip. In fact, he was here before the Post master Geneial got contiol of the wires, and thereby hangs the tale. They were charging the postolllce'wlth belng'slow not the alert statesmen at the head of the service, of course', but "they" were saying that, so far as the servlceltself was concerned, you could drop a letter in the mail box in Wash ington and then take one of Mr. Mc Adoo's rapid-fire trains and beat it to its .destination- in Philadelphia or New York by a full day. It was said that this had actually been done In the case of the telegraph. And here Is .where pame Rumor steps In with her cruel suggestion. This Is ah age of fierce competition. The big fish-Hn business absorbs the little fish. Hence, If Mr. Burleson could absorb the telegraph service and "put.- It on the blink," as some great finan cial magnates are Inclined to do with their rivals, would it not make for the efficiency of the postal service? That was the sinister idea. Bear the telegraph and bull the postofflce. We are now actually receiving tele grams In Washington after the letters confirming them have been answered and filed. Telephones are answered when the operators are pleased to at tend to their duties, and the bundles of telegrams In the hands of the nip Van Winkle messengers are Increasing be cause of the difficulties of finding one'p way In hot and testy weather. Whether or, nijt, there Is a real (basls ior,crltI clzfng the postal service, Jt Is apparent that for the time being the delivery of letters U rapidly gaining on 'the.' tolegraph service.

'Germany's Strength Awful Tobacco, Says Vortvacrts Ry GEORGE RENWICK Special Cable lo the Evening Public Ledger CoiwriaUt. IMS, bu .Veto rort, Times Co. Amsterdam, Aug. 25. The "scarcity of tobacco in Ger many has led to the introduction of a standard cigarette and the cigar ette smoker of the Fatherland is loud In his condemnation of It. It costs nearly a penny, is put up in packets of various sizes and is called "Germany's strength." Vorwaerts describes the sensa tion caused by smoking this any thing but fragrant weed: "When one lights this cigarette ono feels at onco that Germany's strength must be tremendous to stand such awful stuff. If one inhales the smoke then the first feelings of seasickness set in. If the paper he removed a grayish mixture of sub stances ls seen and the smell Is like that of a musty cellar dwelling in which thero is a shoemaker's work shop." A slightly better cigarette Is also made, but in order to obtain twenty of that kind the smoker must pur chase forty ot "Germany's Strength." "Turkey and Bulgaria," adds Vor waerts, "have both had ,good to bacco harvests and it is suggested that these Allies might prove them selves clever by coming to Qer-. many's aid with smokeable cigar ettes, which would help us to keep our spirits up In many a serious "'hour."

His wastrel brother has killed a man. An other man Is convicteu or tne crime anu sentenced to death. There is only cir cumstantial evidence against -him. The wastrel has confessed and asked his brother to help him out. The brother gives him money to flee the country. In stead of fleeing, he remains In London with tho woman in a quarrel over whom the murder had been done. The lawyer knows It is his duty to prevent the execution of an Innocent man; but he knows also that If he does so, his repu tation will be damaged through his kin ship to the real murderer. It Is a very pretty question to put to the honor of a self-respecting, rising member of (he bar, and Its answer will test his moral stamina to the utmost. The tale ends in a way to leave the reader In no doubt about Mr. Galsworthy's view of the rel ative honor of the successful brother and the wastrel. Thcte are other stories In the volume, each told with an Insight into human motives which makes Mr. Galsworthy ono of the distinguished writers of Ac tion ot his generation. FIVE TALES.

Romances He Has Produced The fly leaf of "Love Eternal" con tains a list of books by Sir Hlder Hag gard, a formidable list of more than fifty titles running all the way from '"Heport to His Majesty's Government, With a Scheme of National Land Settlement," through books on sociology, agriculture, e'c., (si titles) to "novelB" (nine titles) nu "romances" (thlity-four titles). In "the last category are the names of ...i.e' "KlnB Solomon's Mines" nnd Allan Quatermaln," tnklng one back In memory nlmost a generation back to the fascinating hours stolen from the sterner stuff of school books. One wonders If there Is nny limit or end. to the variety and extent of an au thor's ability jo write good books In con stant succession. Doe, tho soul of an author, his I'genlus," have quantitative and qualitative bounds? Orcan a great or even talented mind, gifted with Im agination, go on producing excellently till the natural end of things comes with old age? It s not pertinent to answer such a problem of psychology In n book review, and It Is passed on lo tho reader with the recommendation that this au thor seems to have written In this hook one of his most beautiful nnd fascinating romances. Those readers who hate really been In love will recognize much in this story that touches ionie, and those who have never hid the experience will ba better prepared for It when It comes, after reading "Love Eternal." A boy and a girl meet In rural Kng land. their famll'es not being of the type that sprung from and clave to the loc.! foII. They glow up ' together in the lonesomeness which comes from having to submit alwnys to Mern, determined and antipathetic parents. They drift apart, the boy to Europe for his later education, tho girl to the diplomatic, col ony 1nMexIco City. And then tho!great tides of time bring them together again, in the little country church in jvhlch they first met. The picture of their rati; turous finding of their .love, In tho old chhrch, Is the beginning of tho fine ro mance tho firm, preparatory, part of tho hook is relatively cumbrous to the in tensity of this vital section Parental opposition ngaln sunders the lovers till the great war again sweeps them togeth er in a most unexpected fashion. It Is a very fine story In Its substance, its telling and Its sentiment, and readers will feel like assuring the author that It Is not alone the friend, to whom tho book is dedicated who will "care to read of one whose human lovo led her out front darkness Into light nnd on to the gates of the Love Eternal."

Read what Amy Forrester did in OWEN JOHNSON'S New Society Novel Virtuous Wives is a strong study of both character and, conditions prevalent in our large cities just prior to America's entrance into the war, dealing with the effects of social environment upon married life.
