Soldiers Club House Suggested. As a suggestion for a memorial that will be at once useful as well as valuable, and can be put in shape for a moderate sum of money, would be the purchase of one of the old dwel- lings in the town, centrally located, and make of it a soldier’s club house and meeting place for all patriotic or- ganizations. In connection therewith a suitable building could be erected as a historical museum and library in which to house relics of the great world war and as a place to preserve anything of historical value.in con- nection with former wars or the his- tory of Centre county. Many such in- teresting relics are now owned by pri- vate individuals in the county, who would no doubt willingly give them to some such museum as above suggest- ed In connection with the museum should be started a county library, and as such it is probable that contri- butions towards its support could be obtained from the county and bor- ough. Under the present laws state and county appropriations are availa- ble for expenses for county historical societies and as the Centre county or- ganization could then have its head- quarters in the museum and such moneys as could be thus obtained could be used for its support. The present Legislature has passed an act permitting counties to contribute to the support of soldier’s club houses, and Centre county authorities would doubtless assist any such project started here. It would undoubtedly be a commendable move, be of mater- ial benefit and grow more valuable with each passing year. There are many citizens in the county who would without doubt gladly contribute relics and books of value on Centre county history and a fine collection ought to be easily and quickly gathered. It is also reasona- ble to suppose that the public gener- ally would be more willing to contrib- ute money for the purchase and fitting up of such a place than for the erec- tion of a mere monument of granite. Now is the time to make a start on some such project and itis to be hoped that the patriotic citizens of Centre county will give the matter the careful consideration it deserves. Prompt action is always the best and any suggestions along this line should be welcomed by everybpdy. A Citizen Who is Interested. ——On Wednesday two airplanes bearing two pilots each left New York at noon for Bellefonte. One reached here but the other one was compelled to come down .in the neigh- borhood of Hollidaysburg owing to: running out of oil and gas. The pilot came down in a wheat field and after filling up with gas and oil he attempt- ed to start and broke a propeller. Mechanicians were sent up yesterday to repair the plane and bring it to Bellefonte, The pilots that reached Bellefonte went out to Cleveland by train and will bring two. machines east to Bellefonte today. —22%%ank "Auman, John and Brode Steiger, Russell Auman, Frank Din- ges and Calvin Confer, six residents of Penn township, have been arrested on warrants sworn out by George H. Wert, chief fire warden of Pennsylva- nia, charging them with refusal to re- spond to a summons of L. M. Deitz, state forester at Coburn, to help fight a forest fire in that section on April 19th. The men have given bail for their appearance for trial at court and as this is the first such case known of in the State it will no doubt be followed with considerable inter- est. 5 ——McCalmont & Co. have moved their offices from their old location near the glass works meadow to the depot building of the old Central Railroad of Pennsylvania on north Water street, which they purchased some time ago.

The possibility that by the treaty of peace the United States, a Nation highly interested in peace, may be called upon to act as a mandatory for" some backward or at present helpless people is filling many honest men with alarm. It is to be frankly admitted that the European envies and in- trigues at the Peace Conference have naturally tended to transform what would have been a happy mission in- to a disturbing but unshirkable duty. We must not forget that it was the wrongs inflicted upon backward or in- capable peoples that brought on the world war, which finally compelled this country to put millions of men under arms and to spend billions of dollars—in behalf of peace. Such mandatories as are now pro- posed are in place of the old imper- ialistic practice of annexations, and so are exactly in line with the en- lightened American idea that weak nations should be assisted rather than enslaved and exploited. A con- queror does as he pleases with his conquests regardless in too many cases of right or morality. A manda- tory is a trustee serving on honor, without expectation of profit except as humanity in general shall be pro- moted by benevolent supervision of his wards. So far as the United States is con- cerned, the novelty in what is now proposed is that we may be asked to assume responsibilities in the other hemisphere, where the blood of tens of thousands of our soldiers has seal- ed our devotion to a great principle. We have been the mandatory of the Dominican Republic since 1907. With our armed forces we have been the mandatory of Nicaragua since 1911. By solemn treaty engage- ments we guarantee the independ- ence of Cuba and Panama, not by name exactly as a mandatory, al- though it amounts to that. In pursu- ance of? our own pledges and acts, we shall presently become the man- datory of the Philippines. The more distasteful to us a mandate in the other hemisphere may be, the more honor there may be in accepting it. We fought in this war for peace. There will be no peace so long as weak peoples are left to the savagery ‘of their own rival desperadoes or be- trayed by them into the hands of militarists and empire-builders. Few ‘great nations are so well fitted as the United States to accept the role of mandatory. Our motives are not questioned anywhere, and a duty is not to be avoided merely because it ‘seems disagreeable. —— ~ K. H. HOOVER Chiropodist AT STATE COLLEGE, PA. Every Thursday.
