Do your shopping now. —Maybe next Thanksgiving turkey will come down to the point where a |: modest income can do business with it. —About all the Kaiser had to be thankful for yesterday was that none of the allies have gotten their clutch- es on him yet. —The flu is abating in nearly all parts of the county. Bellefonte is be- ginning to recover from its second visitation of the epidemic. —Better gasoline is promised soon and lots of worn out old motors will be robbed of an over worked excuse for not performing better. —President Wilson will have the dinner in Paris that both Hindenburg and the Kaiser so bombastically de- clared they were going to have. —Contractor Taylor has been a long time at it, but the opinion of men who know is to the effect that he is making a splendid job of paving Wa- ter street. —Don’t advertise the fact that you feasted on turkey yesterday. The price of the bird might excite the in- come tax man to imagining that you are richer than you are. —After reading the list of goodies that were found in the Kaiser's pan- try after he fled Germany we do not wonder that his offspring were always referred to as the Kaiser’s six fat sons. —Centre county is over the top in the United War Work campaign and its good record must not be marred by failure in our W. S. S. purchases. Let us wind up our war subscriptions with a boom in war savings stamps. —Secretary McAdoo certainly start- ed something when he resigned be- cause he couldn’t live in Washington on his salary. Every place holder in the Capitol is usingitasa jimmy for an increase but few of them are re- signing. —This time last year we were all worrying about whether the steam heat company was going to get an ex- pected car of coal in order to keep us warm over Sunday; so you see we re- ally are one worry better off this year than we were last. —If national baseball wants to go onto a one man basis merely because it can’t otherwise control Ban John- son why not select Roosevelt instead of Taft. Roosevelt can bully any- body, besides he hasn’t the dignity of a Taft to be traduced. —23,600 men are to be sent home from Camp Dix at once and as prac- tically all of our soldiers who have been training in England are to be home before Christmas there will be many happy reunions in this country before and during the holidays. —William Howard Taft would give character to the national game if he were to accept the offer of member- ship as the one man on a new nation- al baseball commission, but what would such an act do to the tradition- al dignity of the occupations of our ex-Presidents. —Madame Roseka Schwimmer is to represent the new Hungarian govern- ment in Switzerland. Madame Schwimmer having been the dame who made most of the trouble on Hen- ny Ford’s peace ship we are forced to the conclusion that Hungary isn’t ex- actly ready to settle down and be good. —In the last analysis history will proclaim Mr. McAdaos’ greatest serv- ice to his country as being the revis- ion of our banking system through the inauguration of the Federal Re- serve. His management of the Lib- erty bond issues and of the federated railways have been more spectacular, more gigantic but it is doubtful if they could have been the notable suc- cesses they have been had not the Federal Reserve been established to absorb the shocks they otherwise would have been to our financial sys- tem. —President Wilson and his party are to sail for France on the George Washington on December 3rd. It will be escorted by the battleship Penn- sylvania and two new destroyers. It will be a history making trip, since it will be the first time an American President has ever crossed the Atlan- tic while in office and the entire coun- try will join in the hope that it will be made in safety and fraught with great pleasure for the man who has borne the greatest burden of the war. We trust that there will be no mili- tant stowaways to bob up out of the hold and start picketing the gang- ways when the boat gets fairly out to sea. —Myr. Gates, the dean of the “Watchman’s” reportorial staff, has won a three dollar prize offered by the DuBois Daily Express for the best answer to its question: “What would you do with the Kaiser?” We made this discovery only by chance on Wed- nesday evening, because Mr. Gates’ modesty is one of his greatest virtues, and after congratulating him on his very splendid answer to “What would vou do with the Xaiser?” we asked him what he would do with the three dollars. It was a very ill-timed ques- tion, for the first prize winner, being also an honest man, was compelled to admit that the DuBois mazuma is overdue about two weeks and even if it does come now it will mean nothing net to him as he has worn out its equivalent in shoe soles running tq the postoffice to meet it ever since the announcement of his success was made. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. VOL. 63. BELLEFONTE, PA.. NOV EMBER 29, 191 8. NO. 47. Germany Must Not Starve. The question of supplying food to Germany is one of the unpleasant in- man cruelty and brutality caused more anguish in four years than the is “pressing danger of famine” there ing into a state of anarchy. It isn’t possible for a christian people to stand out against such representa- tions of fact and unwilling as we are there is no escape from the demand for food... It is conservatively estimated that there are 220,000,000 of our allies mainly if not entirely dependent up- that Servia, Albania, Macedonia, Rou- mania, Poland, Armenia, Syria and Arabia are face to face “with famine conditions.” These are people who either actively or passively helped us in the war and as an esteemed con- temporary puts it “before we can feed our foes we must feed the vic- tims of our foes.” France and Bel- gium are not yet able to stand alone either and more than two millions of our own people are in foreign camps and cantonments to be taken care of as becomes the bravest and best. Then there is Russia as helpless as a babe. Hunger immersed Russia in Bolshe- vism. Hunger drives the wisest into madness. If we don’t feed Germany now we may have to first rescue her from that greater evil and feed her afterward. This is one of the prob- lems of the war that remains to be solved. Possibly the wise men who will soon assemble in the peace con- ference will give the answer but in any event the great burden will come upon the people of the United States who must now set themselves to bear it. To this end conservation is the first essential and greater production a good second. It is up to us to meet both of these requirements of the times and if we set ourselves to it Germany and the rest of the world may be fed. ‘When Jack Pershing makes a review of the work of the Republican leaders during the war he is not like- ly to offer himself as a catspaw to draw chestnuts out of the fire for them after the war is over. Taft as a Baseball Magnate. The lovers of baseball, and their name is legion, will be gratified if not inspired to learn that former President William H. Taft is likely to become a “magnate.” Some years ago when internal dissensions threat- ened to wreck the baseball organiza- tion former Governor Tener, of Penn- sylvania, was induced to become pres- ident of one of the major leagues and his eminence in the political and bus- iness world so impressed the other magnates that the differences disap- peared or were forgotten and the game was preserved as it deserved to be. But a Governor wasn’t big enough to keep Ban Johnson in sub- jection for long. He soon got “ches- ty” and jumped the traces. The war was hard on baseball and as the stars of the diamond were tak- en by the government to adorn the trenches popular interest in the per- formances of the “has beens” waned and Governor Tener wearied of Ban's bullying and retired from the field. This was really “the blow that killed father” and the funeral was only de- layed by the energetic work of Gen- erals Pershing and Foch who urged their hard hitters to move against the enemy in France and Flanders when hope of revival dawned on the dia- mond. But even these promising signs of future prosperity failed to suppress Ban and the other magnates called upon Mr. Taft to shed the sun- shine of his perpetual smile across the field. We are not in the habit of rejoic- ing at the misfortunes of others and since the experience and snug salary of Mr. Tener at the head of one of the Leagues it can hardly be said that the offer of head of one of the principal organizations is a misfortune. More- over, since Mr. Taft has debased him- self into the character of an echo for Theodore Roosevelt it is not certain that electing him to the head of a reputable baseball organization is in any sense a degradation. Taft is no longer entitled to the consideration usually belonging to former Presi- dents. The present location of the late Kaiser may be involved in doubt but his ultimate destination is fixed and he won’t need an overcoat. —Only the Republicans are worry- ing for fear the Democrats will be without a leader when the term of President Wilson expires. And it may be remarked that William Hohenzollern never had a | job before that so completely fitted ' his capacities. on this country for food.

Brumbaugh the Historian. The selection of Governor Brum- baugh as the Pennsylvania historian of the war, indicates a complete rec- | onciliation among the Republican fac- | tions of the State. It also explains the tardiness of the Governor in fill- ing several important vacancies in the public service that have been long ex- pected. In other words it implies that the factionists have arrived at an understanding under which Mr. Brum- baugh gets a ten thousand dollar job for an indefinite period, as long as the money lasts, and Mr. Sproul will fill the vacancies, including a successor on the Superior court bench caused by the promotion of Judge Kephart to the Supreme bench. These distinguished gentlemen have been saying some hard things about each other during the last three years. It was Governor Sproul who intro- duced the resolution during the ses- sion of 1915 to investigate Governor that he had made a false return of his campaign expenses and paid for pressing his pants out of public funds. | On the other hand during the prima- ry campaign this year Mr. Brum- baugh said some impolite things about Sproul. But the cohesive force | of public patronage is potent and the ° yarnings for soft snaps intense so i that it is not surprising that so eligi- | ble an opportunity to deal brought | these patriots together. Of course such an understanding if carried to its logical conclusion will be rather tough on the Vares for it may be safely presumed that the pa- | tronage transferred by Brumbaugh to | Sproul will be converted into party currency for the use of Penrose, whereas the Vares felt that they had a first mortgage on it. Among the appointments to be made under the agreement is a municipal court judge in Philadelphia and other places equally attractive and if these mor- sels of patronage are taken from the Vares and the government of the city rescued from their control they will be left helpless indeed. But these are the chances of politics. ‘6 And he gave it as his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve hetter. of mankind, and do more essential serv- ice to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.”—Jona- than Swift. : Mr. McAdoo’s Resignation. The surprise in the case of Secre- tary of the Treasury McAdoo is not that he has resigned at the close of the war but that he continued in of- fice after the expiration of President Wilson’s first term of office. When he entered upon the duties of the’ office in 1913 there was urgent need for just Our financial system was archaic and the currency system mischievous. Mr. McAdoo brought both out of confusion and leaves us with the best the world has ever known. He served from the begin- ning at great personal sacrifice. If he had withdrawn at the end of his first term, these great reforms having been then achieved, there would have been no just cause of complaint. When he entered upon his second term at the invitation of the Presi- dent our entrance into the war was in- evitable and impending. No doubt a sense of patriotic duty influenced him to accept the responsibility and con- tinue his sacrifice. Vast sums of money were required to finance our military operations and probably no man in the country was as fit for the service. He managed the four cam- paigns for loans, an Herculean task, and outlined the necessary legislation to provide the additional revenues needed. Having fulfilled these obli- gations to the country he now looks to his personal interests and the ne- cessities of his family as he has a right to do and should do. © We have no sympathy with the speculations which are being freely indulged as to reasons for his action other than those expressed in his let- ter to the President. He has a vast earning capacity and the compensa- tion provided by law for the services he has performed is utterly inade- quate. In the beginning of this serv- ice the honor it bestowed was compen- satory in a measure so long as his re- sources permitted him to indulge am- bition. After our entrance into the war patriotism kept him at his tasks notwithstanding the sacrifices. But now that the great victory has been achieved and his great work is com- pleted he has a night to ask for re- lease to turn his dttention to more lu- crative work. ——There is likely te be an animat- ed dispute as to the political prede- lictions of General Pershing in the near future but it won't go far. Pershing is too good a soldier to be made the sport of politicians. ee A—————— -——Those who achieved so much over there will soon be accomplishing things over here and whether here or there they are and will be for all time the heroes of the American heart, bless them. | Republican Love for Soldiers. The esteem in which the soldiers of the country are held by the average Republican politician is revealed in a recent action of the Republican pro- thonotary of Luzerne county. The i soldier. vote gave a majority to John J. Casey, Democratic candidate for Congress in the Luzerne county dis- trict against his Republican opponent and the prothonotary of the county refuses to accept the return. The vote of the soldiers of the State, taken at great expense, made no difference in the result in other districts. But in Luzerne county it reversed the result of the home vote and gives Casey a majority of eighty-eight votes. With- out it his opponent has a majority of twelve votes. The law authorizing the taking of the soldiers’ votes in camp was en- acted in 1863 for the purpose of influ- encing the Presidential election of the following year. It wasn’t needed then for President Lincoln’s re-election was secured on the home vote. But it was put in operation again during the Spanish-American war for the reason that it afforded a bit of graft to some lame duck politicians. Two years ago when the National Guard was mobilized on the Mexican border the vote was taken and manipulated so that it was returned almost unani- mously for Republican candidates. This year the soldiers exercised their | right more independently and intelli- gently and in the case of Luzerne county it changed the result and gdve Mr. Casey a majority. But the Republican machine would not stand for that. The law never was intended to elect Democrats. For more than half a century it was held as a tribute of Republican affection for soldiers in the field because it didn’t impair Republican interests while it did to some extent flatter sol- diers into the belief that their privi- leges were preserved and their rights protected. But on the very first oc- casion that the camp vote disappoint- ed the Republican machine a Repub- lican official turns up to deny the right of the soldiers to vote and the candidate whose success was the re- sult of the exercise of the soldier franchise will be compelled to go into court to prove their right to vote.

Only one package will be allowed to each American soldier now in service overseas. : Each soldier is being provided with a coupon containing his name and ad- dress which he will mail direct to the relative or friend he selects as for- warder of his Christmas package. No other person can ship a Christmas package. The relative or friend receiving this label must present it at the near- est chapter, branch or auxiliary head- quarters of the Red Cross, where a pasteboard box, 8 by 4 by 9 inches in size will be supplied. This box must be used for shipping the Christmas articles, which should not weigh com- plete more than two pounds, fifteen ounces. When the box is packed, it should be taken unwrapped and unsealed to the nearest collection center indicat- ed by the Red Cross, together with the addressed label forwarded by the soldier, and sufficient stamps to car- ry it by parcel post to Hoboken, N. J. It is there inspected, wrapped and the label and stamps attached. The complete package must not weigh more than three pounds. No Christmas package will be ac- cepted for shipment after December 1st. Do not try to send intoxicating liquors, inflammable material—includ- ing matches or cigarette lighters, or liquids. And do not attempt to en- close a written message. Remember, all packages will be inspected before being wrapped, and prohibited arti- cles will not be passed. Dried fruits, hard candy, fruit cake and other edi- bles which will keep should be pack- ed in small tin or wooden boxes be- fore being placed in the Christmas package. Do not enclose any articles packed in glass. Gifts should be wrapped in khaki colored handker- chiefs, 27 inches square. Should sev- eral relatives or friends of the same soldier desire to ship Christmas ar- ticles, they must pool their gifts and forward them in the one box, as only one package will be allowed, as above specified. - By ree ee ——-The trout spawning season is about over and the dozens of big trout that utilized the sandy bottom of Spring creek, opposite the “Watch- man” office, as spawning beds during the past month have mostly gone down stream into deeper water. Of course, there are still many trout to be seen between the bridge and the falls, especially the deep water just below the falls, but the biggest at- tractions have gene down to the lime- kiln dam. —— Subscribe for the “Watchman.” The Ishmaels of the Sea. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The tragedy of the German Navy is this—not that it has met with defeat, but that it has been marked for all time with dishonor.: Seamen, chival- rous: by nature, are always generous to a fallen enemy. In the early days of the war, before the submarine mur- ders had made German seamen Ish- maels among their fellows, an action like that between the Sydney and the Emden left the one-time foes on the ! best of terms. The British did every- thing possible for the comfort of their German prisoners, and Captain Glos- sop and Captain von Mueller plotted out together the plan of the famous fight. Now, when the German fleet surrenders to the Allies, the tradition- al good feeling has gone. Admiral Beatty warns his men that their re- lations with the Germans must be “strictly of a formal character.” No international compliments, no conver- sation that does not pertain to the business in hand; “courtesy is oblig- atory,” but “the methods by which they waged war must not be forgot- ten.” If it is necessary to provide food, they must be served apart; “en- tertainment” of the customary kind is forbidden. Justice they shall have, but no more—the justice pirates de- serve. . This rebuke to a service fallen to such low estate is the more scathing by reason of its restraint. “Courtesy is obligatory.” That is the fine tra- dition of the naval man. The Ger- mans are not to be hooted and jeered; they are not to be made to suffer physical discomfort or hardship. Whatever has to be done for them will be done. But if they have any rem- nant of decent feeling left the cold contempt visited upon them will hurt far more than a marked demonstra- tion of hostility. They have surren- dered in a sullen mood, we are told, a little apprehensive in some cases of the treatment they are to receive. It is said that Admiral von Meurer sent a note to Admiral Beatty asking that his men be not ill-treated, and that Admiral Beatty tore up the note with the remark, “They are in England.” The rebuke to a navy that has shown no compunction even to women and children could not have been neater or more crushing. England does not make war in that way. But English- men, and all the others who have suf- fered from German brutality, will not forgive. % Capable and Efficient. From the Williamsport Sun. most capable and efficient citizens in the resignation of William G. McAdoo from the President's cabinet. The country came to know McAdoe, pos- sibly best as the director general of railroads in which Sapactty he was compelled at times to do things which made the public gasp. For the most part this feeling soon turned to won- derment and eventually into a spirit of commendation. McAdoo was com- pelled to do many things contrary to custom. He stepped on the toes of a number of people but he acted, wisely or otherwise, as he thought best to secure what he had in mind and that was to accomplish things. It is true that he started upheavals, but it is not likely that many men in the Unit- ed States could have reached as many destinations by cutting across lots with less disturbance than McAdoo did. He exhibited unusual efficiency ‘and capability in taking a multitude of separate railroad lines and mold- ing them into one smoothly running organization. But if we look upon him as a genius, his successor must be no less skilled and proficient as it will likely devolve upon the man who follows McAdoo to untangle the sin- gle railroad organization, to separate the whole skein and hand back to their former owners each individual strand. The man who succeeds him, therefore, will face no less a task of magnitude than did the director gen- eral at the time the government took over the country’s railroads. The Troovps That Stay. From the Philadelphia Press. Semi-official estimates at Washing- ton fix the number of American troops who will remain abroad as the army of occupation in the Rhine provinces at 1,200,000. This means that about one out of every three of our boys can come home. 2 Even these cannot be moved imme- diately. The problem of transporting them overseas is a stupendous one, as British ships will not be available for that purpose in the same numbers as before, if they are available at all. Yet another problem is that of land transport. France will need every mile of railroad track and every unit of rolling stock she can muster not only for the work of reconstruction, which is to be begun immediately, but for the ordinary distribution of fuel and supplies against the coming win- ter. Railroad facilities for the Amer- ican home-going troops are therefore certain to be greatly curtailed. Many months are to pass before large num- bers of our boys come home. The homecoming of the troops in stations and cantonments on this side ‘of the Atlantic is, however, certain to take place soon. : The troops remaining in Europe will stay for an indefinite time. The peace conference must determine the necessity for keeping them there as well as the hour of their return. And it is not likely that they will be mov- ed until a general peace has been signed. In the meantime they will have the advantage of convenient quarters, light duties and every com- fort which an indulgent and paternal government can afford them. ——— IE BTS Official ‘Washington loses ofle of its’ SPAWLS FROM THE KEYSTONE —When the undertaker assumed charge of the body eof Frank Marturkevitch, a West Hazleton saloon-keeper, who died of influenza after- one day’s illness, he found $1300 in a money belt around Marturke- vitch, who had little faith in banks. —Rebecca: Smedley, 80 years old, a minister in the Orthodox Society of Friends, died in Media, after a short ill- ness.

Baldridge, of Blair county, revoked the license to sell liquor ’ issued to Edward Winwood for the Bell House, Bellwood. At a recent term of court Winwood and his bartender, Jerry Sullivan, were cenvicted on the charge of selling liquor to persons of known intem- perate habits. Winwood was fined $200 and Sullivan $100. Sullivan at one time was a mixologist in Bellefonte. —The Eastern State hospital for the in- sane which was authorized by the last . session of the State Legislature, has been located at Selinsgrove, Snyder county, by the State Board of Charities.

It was disclosed that Killinger, having ne teeth, had sought to swallow the piece of meat in an unmasticated condition. —Among ‘conscientious objectors” to staying in the army, few have anything on Lewis Holiday, of Wellsboro.

Walbridge, of Towanda, wealthy and eccentric, who some months ago achieved nation-wide prominence by a $500 funeral given a pet dog, has again sprung into local prominence through a victory in a long-fought case against the W.

The case was completed last week after a two weeks’ session, when the jury awarded the plaintiff a verdict of $9,095.- 95. The money was given Walbridge on his record of having cared for the deceas- ed man for a period of twenty-five years. The money is to be expended for a long- needed local hospital, according to Wal- bridge's statement. —Haggard and unkempt, Ira S.
