Government business has its rightful preference over everything else. There are delays even now and congestion is certain to become serious when the heavy holiday shipments go into the mail. Indications are that mail shipments will be heavier this Christmas than ever before. More people are away from home and the country is more prosperous, which means more gift making. The postoffice depart ment is making preparation for the Decem ber rush, but unless packages are mailed earlier than usual it will be physically im possible to give prompt service. You can help the government materially by mailing all gifts to distant points not later than November 20th and by sending all of your packages early in December. Start planning now to have your last gift in the mail by December 15th. That is the only certain way to avoid disappointment and delay. Just mark the packages, "Don't open until Christmas," and it doesn't mat ter how soon they are placed in the mail. There are more ways than fighting to help win the war. One of the most im portant is to help prevent congestion of the transportation systems by doing your Christmas mailing early. THE -DUPLICITY OF THE KAISER REVEALED. Ever since the start of the great world war, brought on by German determination to rule the world, the German manufactur ers of public opinion have been busy trying to unload .their blood-guilt. No lie has been too patent. Exposed in one plea, they rapidly shift to another. But recent revelaions leave the German kaiser and the German government in bad light, indeed. No wonder the president, having inside information, said the word of Germany's present rulers could not be taken in any peace agreement. The president not only knew- what all bf us know that to the German rulers treaties are mere scraps of paper, but he must have known the. depths of duplicity to which lust for "weltmacht" had driven the Prussian overlords. Former Ambassador Gerard has proved by the kaiser's cable to the president that Germany's published statements concern ing the necessity of invading Belgium were plain lies. And fast upon the heels of this came the revelations of the secret archives of the deposed Czar Nicholas poor, spine less weakling putty in the hands of stronger men in constant correspondence by telegraph with Kaiser Wilhelm, who un ceasingly worked for a condition in Europe making it safe for him to attack England The telegrams showed the kaiser, taking advantage of the Russo-Japanese war, brought pressure to bear upon the czar to. drop all friendly understanding with Eng land and, instead, bring about a rapproche ment with Germany. Then he wanted France brought into a sort of triple alliance. As France had an alliance with Russia and was Russia's cred itor for enormous sums, the kaiser though' It easy to force France to drop her entente cordiale with. England and come into the German camp. At the same time, the kaiser was cynica1 ly avowing his purpose, in case of war with England, to seize tiny Denmark impu dently and brutally avowing that German necessity knows no laws, no national rights. If Germany wants to attack Eng land and France invade Belgium. If Ger many wants to use the Baltic against Eng land invade Denmark. The aiser planned to isolate England. He figured it would then be ah easy thing to settle accounts with her. That done, he hcould polish off either France or Russia, as r T T 1 . , suites ms purpose, ne wouia men oe un disputed master of Europe and ready for ru's arrogant challenge to America and its Monroe Doctrine. The. Germans have pretended . all along they hated England only because she took up arms for democracy in the tfar against autocracy. The fact is Germany has hated England for years, just as she has, hated America for years. Germany hates any country richer than she, and whose government is more demo cratic. So long as there are great, rich, democracies like America, England and France, the .warlords of Germany do not sit absolutely secure. ' There is always the chance that the Ger man Michael will say to himself: "What is good for the Yankees should be good for me. They rule. Why should not I and my kind rule Germany?" It was eminently wise for our president to announce he did not desire to talk peace with German, war-lords. We are beginning to know them. DEVELOPING OUR RESOURCES One of the lasting benefits that America will derive from the war is the finding of our resources the discovery that we can make at home many of the things which were quite content to draw from other countries so long as we could bring them across the seas more easily than we could produce them. We accepted as a fact the theory that only Germany could produce commercial dyes. That country had specialized in their manufacture and German chemists attained a high standard which it was be lieved no other country could equal. When the war cut off importations our manu facturing plants were in a sad plight. American dye makers tried to come to the rescue but their early efforts were most dis appointing. The reds were a sickly, life less, brick-color or faded pink, blues were anything but the desired shade and the problem seemed hdpeless. Then American chemists took up the task with a determi nation to win out. In less than three years they have succeeded in producing some dyes that are equal in every respect to, those of Germany and in two years more they are confident-of producing, diffi cult process dyes as successfully as Ger many did after specializing in the work for 40 years. Approximately,$200,000,000 has been invested in the manufacture of dyes and chemicals in this country and, with the progress that has been made, it is certain that we will in future be independent of all other countries for the major portion of those commodities needed to fill our re quirements. Similar advancement has been ma,dev in other lines. One match company has established the first muriate of potash plant in America, at a cost of $400,000, and is independent of foreign producers for" all time. The United States has learned that it can produce chemist's glassware of better grade than Germany, which formerly had a monopoly on the finer qualities. Industrial chemistry was an undeveloped science in this country until the war ap plied the spur of necessity and prompted us to make researches and tests and experi ments which will add materially to our-na-tional wealth while freeing us from de pendence upon any other country for many of the things which we believed it impos sible to produce here. A Cleveland (O.) woman is suing for $40,000 damages for an accident making it impossible for her to open her mouth. Guess that shows how highly women value their conversational powers. Joan Sawyer, a New York dancer, has paid her partners alimony. Another type of modern Joan. Its about time for the goose bone pro phets to tell lis what kind of a winter we are in for. No one has heard of any church collec tion plate groaning under excess profits. DARL ETON 1 EXPIRES IN TAMPA : Mrs. Annie. Darlington, mother of Mrs. J- E. Long, formerly of-Pensa-cola, expired yesterday at Tampa, Fla., and the remains accompanied by Mrs. Long, are expected to reach Pe$acola on the 9:45 o'clock train tomorrow morning.

Geele. 415 North Guillemarde street, whence it is. probable, the funeral will take place Sunday, Until the body and relatives reach here, however, the hour for the 'fun- eral will not be announced definitely. Deceased, who as stated was for merly of Pensacola, was well and favorably known among a large circle here, who will sincerely regret to learn of her demise.
