MEMBERS OF THE ; SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF | | REPRESENTATIVES: On midnight July 31, 1918 under the authority of Congress for war pur poses, the President toox Permian at | possession, control and operation of the telephone systems of the country | and has since operated them. The! war as practically ceased. The public | press is strongly demanding, the goneral public and the owners of the telephone properties are urging that they be returned as speedily as possible, that the former conditions may be restored and more satisfactory service be afforded. The President and the Postmaster-General | ave . announced that this will be done as soon as adequate arrangements be provided for biomblnnd and advantageonaly operaThe expenses of these systems have largely increased during the past year, for wages alone at the rate of more than $20,000,000 per annum. . This was inevitable and._necessary by reason of larger proportional increases by the Railroads and industries of the country. The revenue are inadequ ate to care for such incrpases, and the adequate revenues, ‘but contentions. with the regulatory authorities of the States, not yet settled, have prevented such adjustments. If such conditions continue, necessarily the credit of the operating companies will be impaired, proper expenses cannot be metihe best operatin forces cannot be retained, needed extensions and satisfactory service can mot be provided. A deterioration will ensue which in some localities may threaten a recurrence to public ownership or operation in order to care even inadequately, for public needs. By prompt action Congress can pre-| went this contingency. Just and speedy settlements should be made for all properties taken under the existing law, that such balances now in the possession of the Government may be restored to assist in up: building and extension of the various systems for better public use. The conditions and regulation of operation should be clearly defined so as to permit the companies to reestablish and maintain a satisfactory service with reasonable rates without discrimination and procure the benefits of| legitimate competition. ‘The Cita sr! operating companies of the Ui States are vitally interested in wop. erating with Congress and the officials of the Government to accomplish these results.

UE CREATEST sHoW or THEM ALL PLAYED AT THE ARMY HOSPITAL Everybody knows that the . shows playing under the auspices of the cwish Welfare Board in the Red ross Hut st the Army Hospital are he very best and cleanest that Mr. harles Horn ,the Director of Enterinment in Philadelphis, can obtain, nd every show that ever played at he Army Hogpital on Monday evenwas excellent, but the cream of bs tics 4 o see or at least hear the performers. Before the show opened up the J. — B. Representative announced that Charles Achenbach, the pianist who is known and well liked by thousands of men in service all over the country is appearing for the last time at the Army Hospital, due to the fact that he accepted an all summer engagement at the Shellpot Park, Wilmington, Del. The boys regretted to hear of Charles leaving, gave him a farewell cheer and a very hearty applause, which touched Charlie deeply, since he greatly enjoyed playing and helping to cheer up the boys. The show was opened up by "John Haley," black face comedian. He took the part of a colored preacher and was very amusing with his sermon. Second on the bill appeared "Bill Pruitt" in singing and talking. This is a Keith Act and the singing was something that has never appeared or been heard at the Army Hospital before, and the boys indeed enjoyed it and showed their appreciation by applanding very heartily. © Bobby. Robbins who upprared next in "Singing, Talking and | Character hanges‘ was another big bit and enjoyed by all. Burns and Wilson, in | "The Untrained Nurse" followed next and was a scream from start to finish. This clever pair certainly made all present forgat everything excepting to laugh continuously. Last but not least on the program appeared "Dade and Morton" the well known Colored Comedians. These two boys were the hit of the evening, and their funny sayings as | well as their good singing was indeed a treat to the boys, and this last act had to give several enchores in order to satisfy the audience. Every act was a good one, and it would be a hard matter to do much improvement on the last J. W. B. Monday might show, but then Mr. Horn in Philadelphia is always trying to improve and send better shows down here every week, so it would not be surprising that shows sent down here in the future may bert the last one. Eon» o temmmeneed ALBERT SMITH HOME Albert Smith, of West Cape May, who has been with the A. E. F. in France, has arrived at New York, on
