Bellefonte, Pa., January 17, 1919. SUMMING UP. When wars and rumors of wars have passed And the red is rubbed from the earth; When ghosts and shadows are no more massed And life has its share of mirth; The only souls on the thoroughfare Who come to a better start Are those who've given the game their share, The ones who have done their part. When peace returns to the broken scene On threugh the final flash— ‘When the red is wiped from the ancient green On down to the closing crash— Each one shall hold at the distant end, Beyond the mist-blurred gates, Only the share he had come to spend In service for his mates. Grantland Rice, in New York Tribune. Work in London. Mrs. Willis Weaver, of Windber, but a former resident of Centre coun- ty, has received a letter from her sis- ter, Mrs. Harriet Holmes Schaub, who is attached to the Y. W. C. A. doing welfare work among the soldiers in London. Mrs. Schaub, who before her marriage was Miss Harriet Holmes, was born and raised near Jacksonville, this county. She has two brothers in service in France, Capt. Thomas H. Holmes, of the 311th engineers, Blackhawk division, and Sergt. James A. Holmes, of the 30th infantry medical department. Mrs. Schaub’s letter to her sister is as follows: “How good it was to get your let- ters this week. I have hoped every day for time to write a detailed ac- count of my doings but time is al- most as scarce as food over here, so I will write what I can and let it go at that. I have been here almost two weeks and I think I wrote you that the second day I came here I was as- signed to night patrol duty with the International Hospitality League. I have only time to give you an idea of our work. Being international the patrol is made up of women from New Zealand, Australia, England, Canada and ourselves. In all 26—eight of us Americans. We go on duty at eight o'clock at night and stay until the streets are cleared—usually about two o'clock in the morning, although one night I did not get in until 5 o’clock a. m. We speak to the boys in uniform, endeavoring to get them away from the women—who literally swarm the London streets—helping the boys find a place to sleep. Not an easy task when you consider that last week the population of this town was fifteen millions instead of its customary eight millions—finding places of amusement for them, coaxing the ones who are the worse for wear in for a cup of tea, or helping them find the lodging which they have already engaged—or just visit with them, telling them the last news we had from the States, etc., etc. The innumerable funny things and yrasic things that happen in a night will have to wait to be told until I get home. a book. My “beat” is the Strand, from Wa- terloo Bridge to Trafalgar Square. Some of your friends there could tell you about the street. Working all night we have to sleep at least part of the day so there has not been much time for sight-seeing. My room-mate is a very pleasant woman, from Cuba, New York. We went to Westminster Abbey the other day and happened to fall in with a very lovely woman whose fad evidently is Westminster. We saw much more than the average ide would have shown us. We got ere just a few hours after the cor- onation chairs were put in place—the first time they have been out in four years. We also saw the tomb of Ed- ward the Confessor, just after they had taken the sand bags away that had been covering it since th: war started and before they had put the scarlet drapery over it with which it is always covered. So we had the one chance of a lifetime to see the carv- ings on the tomb and we saw many ings the usual visitor never sees. Yesterday being what Londoners consider a clear day, we got on top of one of these queer double deck busses I could tell enough now to fill and rode out to Putney Commons. | That was lovely and we crossed the Thames at a most picturesque spot. The food we are getting makes us realize what war rations are. The first thing you do upon arrival here is to get your food card. On that card are little coupons which entitle you to just so much meat, either at the butcher's or in a restaurant, so much sugar, jam, tea, butter, lard, etc. “When you go to a restaurant you car- -&y your sugar and butter or marga- ~ ring with you. You can get fish, aw- ful salty ham or bacon and eggs—if you have money to pay for eggs— - without a coupon. You cannot buy sweets or desserts as we know them for love or money. * They have lights on the streets now .and we have one light in our room. What it must have been to try to get around in this town when it was dark .is hard to imagine. Even the people .born and raised here do not know the entire tity, The only vegetables we get are cabbage, brussels sprouts, parsnips, and once in a while onions. If you want to start a new war just | offer me fish or boiled cabbage when | 1 get back. It will be useless to give | me a napkin, for I won't know what | Here I have written all this time and have not told much that we gre doing and have not answered a line of your good letters, and my time is up. My work is very, very hard and it is the most interesting thing I have ever done, but I can’t seem to write about it. It is not tellable on paper, some way or other. When I get set- tled and can go sight-seeing I will have more to tell. : It has been raining almost inces- santly since we came here but the weather has not been very cold. One longs for a glimpse of real sunlight. The grass and ivy are very green and I imagine when the hedges are green and the shrubbery, which is every- where, is in bloom, the country must be beautiful. Women Returning to Peace Work. The movement of women war work- ers to peace time production has be- gun. When a large number of gas mask workers were released from a government plant in Long Island City recently the employment manager of that plant telephoned the United States Employment Service before no- tifying the women. “Good,” was the response of the service official. “The world is going out of mourning. Lingerie, waist, necktie and collar manufacturers are calling for power-machine operators. Corset factories, released by the War Industries Board from their restrict- ed output, need skilled operators. Send us others as you release them and we will place them.” A large motor manufacturer in De- troit who has been employing hun- dreds of women reports: “Our plant has unfilled contracts that will keep us at 100 per cent. pro- duction for two years. The questions are whether we can get materials and labor. The War Industries Board has already released steel supplies. Even before the war our great problem was a sufficient labor supply. We are ready to add to our force.” The first group of women to be re- leased from war service in Washing- ton was made the subject of special conference attention by the employ- ment service. Their names, qualifi- cations, and home addresses were re- quested by the United States Employ- ment Service. Telegraphic machinery of the Clearance Division of Service was started and within a few hours it was evident that nearly every woman would be offered a position, many of them in or near her home town. This offer of a position will be coincident with her release from war service. Similar service can be rendered by the United States Employment Serv- ice throughout the country. A letter is being sent to each Federal Direc- tor, urging him to make special effort to list such clerical work as Washing- ton women who have been engaged in war work can do, in order to be ready to place these women in their home States as rapidly as they are releas- ed from government service. With the war labor supplying ma- chinery of the war equipment of the employment service reversed to meet the reconstruction needs, there need be no serious problem of unemploy- ment for women who have been en- gaged in war work or for returning soldiers whose places have been taken by women. The one necessity is that employers and employees, whether scrub woman or professor, utilize the nation-wide facilities the government has provided. Much Insurance to Lapse. Atlantic City.— Uncertainty in Washington as well as among the in- surance companies and the lack of funds and interest following demobil- ization will lead to the lapsing of ful- ly 60 per cent. of the $39,000,000,000 of life insurance the United States government has written since the country went to war, it was declared here by insurance experts of the Mid- dle Atlantic and New England terri- tories in conference. It was asserted by speakers that tens of thousands of the men insured by the government for $10,000 each never have seen a policy nor anything more tangible than a mere certificate that amounted to nothing more than a receipt, and it also was said that thousands of these certificates have been lost by the sol- diers. “It is inconceivable that the gov- ernment will go into the life insur- ance business permanently,” one speaker said, “after its sorry exper- ience with the payment of allotments and compensation through the War Risk Bureau. There would be no compensating benefits, either to the men or the government, that old line companies which have developed the finest life insurance system existing anywhere in the world, are not better equipped to provide than the govern- ment ever could. The government in the insurance game as a business proposition after the war would have to adopt the same acturial standards that the companies follow, since the present contract with the fighting men contains no provision for re- funding any part of the money paid in. Experts, however, voiced the opin- ion that the government’s experiment | in writing more life insurance in 12 ! months than all the existing compa- | nies together have written in fifty | years has been a splendid thing for | the business. They look for a boom i from the men who probably for the | first time were brought face to face with the seriousness of making pro- vision for dependents. | oto Baraspariin. { i | It Puts the “Pep” Into Peptiron,—The Combination of Pepsin, Nux, Iron, Celery. to do with it.

Want Yankee Soldiers as Police in Austria. Vienna.—On all sides in the former Austrian Empire one hears the plea that small bodies of American troops be sent to the centres of population for the purpose of keeping order. Such a step, it is held, would work against the tendencies of unrest caused by the countless political and boundary dis- putes among the numerous races, and ' elp prevent any trend toward Bolshe- vism that disorderly conditions might tend to promote. : It is urged by Jewish residents ar- riving here from Przemysl and Lem- berg, for instance, that the presence of a few American uniforms would be sufficient protection against such an- ti-Semitic outbreaks as have occurred at those places recently. The word Bolshevism is loosely used here, but the only authentic example of outbreaks taking on the complex- ion appears to be furnished among the Slovak population of Northwest- ern Hungary, where the former rul- ing classes, the Magyar country gen- tlemen, have virtually abandoned their estates. It is Teportad that efforts by the Czechs to e possession of this territory was followed by an upris- ing of the peasants and also by out- breaks against the Jews. ! The most recent example of the lit- eralness with which the people of the old Dual Monarchy have interpreted President Wilson’s conception of self- determination among every body of eople of the same tongue and race, is to be found among the inhabitants in the region of Gottshcee, some 30 miles northeast of Fiume, a body of about 20,000 Gerran-speaking Zone living in the heart of Jugo-Slavia. Representatives of the ottschee group visited the correspondent at Triest three weeks ago and also came to him after his arrival here, explain- ing that they wished the protection of America against the Jugo-slavs, 0 that they might declare a republic. They said they were friendly to the Jugo-slavs, but that in view of Presi- dent Wilson’s notes they felt they had a right to their own political freedom and wished to exist in the interior of igo slavia just as San Marino did in Italy. These people claim that Jugo-slav soldiers arrested the mayor of Gott- schee and are persecuting the politic- al leaders of the region. They declare their group had its origin in Bohemia, whence it emigrated 600 years ago and occupied Gottschee, but that it al- ways retained the use of the German language and that now if their peo- ple are to be forced to abandon it, if 1 they remain, they prefer to abandon their homes. Hundreds are homeless at Lemberg as the result of programs against the Jews in that city. It is reported that many Se have been killed and wounded, three churches and 80 houses burned and wholesale looting has taken place. The trouble is said to be extending west to Jaroslav and south to Drohobycz, as well as to many towns in western and eastern - Galicia. | Jewish reports say that the disor- | ders were not attributable to Bolshe- ' vism, but were the outcome of an ef- fort to prevent the Jews from carry- ing out the principle of self-determin- ation, according to President Wilson’s program. Disinterested observers state that the fighting is the out- growth of the fact that the Ukran- ians in Poland wish to be free and un- der Ukranian rule. In Lemberg there is a preponderance of Polish inhabit- ants, while around the city the Ukra- nians are in the majority. The peo- ple of Lemberg, with the exception of the Jews, want to unite with the Poles. The Poles, therefore, accord- ing to the observers, are pursuing a policy of violence against the Jews. Hubby’s Blunder. He resided in the suburbs, and when he accidentally met an old friend in the city who persuaded him to remain in town for the evening he went to the telegraph office and wired his wife as follows: “Missed the five-thirty train. Don’t keep, dinner waiting. Shall be home late.’ It was very, very late when he did arrive home, and his wife met him at the door. “Did you get my message?” he said, beaming down at her. “Yes,” she said, very quietly, “but I would like you to explain why you sent a message at four-twenty-eight telling me you had missed the five- thirty train.” Such Vanity!

And Newlywed thinks that is a reflection ‘on him, I suppose ? mith—Oh, no! He thinks his wife must have been married before and never told him.—Tit-Bits.
