J The management of the Chicago sur-
face lines, following the recent strike,
1sent a letter 10.12,000 employees, in-
cludinar all trainmen. Says its halts
page ad in the Chicago Tribune:
"er letter stated that we were go-
ing to buy some advertising space in
the newspaper for our employees, and
would ask them to present to the (pub-
lic their own suggestions for the Lim-
provement oi' the service. Here is the
letter received in response to ours
We believe it contains a suggestion
which will appeal instantly“ to every-
one."
And here is what the employs wrote

of the trainmen, as there has been a

‘ The management’s comment on this
letter from a conductor is that "it goes
to the heart of the whole matter or

Mr. Daniels, who appealed to
Mi. Edison to undertake the task
on patriotic grounds went ahead
jimlav with the perfection 'of his
new plans. Details of the propos—
cd organization. however. will
not he cmuplcicd until the sec,

confer with Mr. Edison, which he
hopes to he vcrv soon. It is
planned to have men prominent
in special lines of invention and
research assoriatcd with the hu—

under consideration.
One of the big problems to he
laid before the newhurcau will
he that of improving the navy‘s
submarines and aeroplanes.
Referring: in his letter to Mr.
Edison to submarine warfare,
Secretary Daniels said that he
felt sure that with Mr Edison’s
wonderful brain to help them the
officers of the navy would be
able to meet this new danger
ultli new devices that will se-
(cure peace to our country by
their effectiveness.
Another important task of the
bureau will be to make a careful

ble adoption of all the numerous
suggestions and inventions which
are received almost daily by the
Navy Departmcpt from naval of-

PARIS, July ' (Correspondence
of The Associated Lleess)——President
Poincare has not so many doubles as
has 911- President Fallieres, but he has
one that is more often taken for him.
His position, however, is more ex-
lposed, for he is the president's own
secretary, Felix Decori. He has the»
1 same height as the president, his hair
ils almost as thin and he .wears a
lbsard pointed in the same style.
Those who are granted an audience
[
.1. by the president are obliged first to
go through the apartments of the
military stall, then the office of the
,clvillan secretary, before reaching the
president's apartments. The door-
keeper that introduces them an-
’nounces their names in each room
lthey pass through, a formality that
disturbs those who are received for
the first time, and by the time they
arrive in a quiet room not filled with
military uniforms they are relieved at
(the sight or a man in civilian dress,
Libehlnd a desk covered with docu-
alments. and whom they easily mistake
ifor the president if they have never
been presented Before.
Monsieur Decari has acquired a
‘most gracious knack of correcting
itheir error and putting them at their
ease.
When the president makes an aid" . .
cial visit to some public institution or
naugurates an exposition or some-
lilting of that' sore, he generally goes
in a motor car with General Duparge.
His Civilian secretary, Monsieur De
(techs of the Elysee, in another car.
The ceremonial requires that the
civilian ' secretary’s car shall» pass:
yards Before the arrival so asvtobojj
present when thepresldsnt appears ;
before the authorities delegated to
receive him. Those who are not fami-
hat with this ceremonial inevitably
mistake the first car for that of the
president and receive the secretary-
with presidential honors.
The secretary has adopted a stereo-
tzypod form for use in reply to the
official greetingst‘L . ,
