I dignity, resourcefulness and enterprise of

The, time te question the propriety of

A PRETTY CHEERLESS WEEK
IN THE WORLD'S AFFAIRS
The Mad Scramble for Special Privilege
Is Being Renewed In Europe and
in the United States
IF IT be true thnt the darkness Is alwaya
most intense just before dawn, the world
at large ought te be happy and brightly ex
pectant nt this moment. Fer even te the
eye of the confirmed optimist the skies seem
pretty black. About the only really cheer
ful news that found its way Inte print this
week told of the invention by the Ketnry
Club in this city of the Speechless Dinner.
That is something te rejoice ever, even if it
doesn't compensate for the dreariness of
the general outlook.
French politicians led by Peincate or
leading hlmV and kicking violently nt the
hornet nests of Europe, and seemingly de
termined te wreck any scheme that may be
devised for the peace and safety of the
white tnun's world, nre n depressing spec

Washington. Congress has been hoping
against hope te get enough from our feicign
.leans te pay a general soldiers' bonus. Our
chances of getting either principal or Inter
est from the great European war leans de
crease In exact ratio with 1 In success of
the Old World pelttica adventurers who
are striving openly te bring about new con
flicts of Interests or nrttis in Europe and
elsewhere.
"Possibilities of international co-epern-tion
were never mero remote than the are
new," said Mr. Gilbert in his Washington
dispatch of yesterday. The Genea Confer
ence, which was te have been te the present
economic war of the world what a peace
conference is te n war of the elder-fashioned
sort, may have te be abundencd. If it Is
abandoned there must be economic chaos Jn
Europe and n terrible and diserdeilj cuffle
for spoils that may lead te alme-t any sort
of fresh disaster.
Meanwhile. Mr. Hoever i-ecm? te he con

Peenuse he talks like one in this instance

What can Washington de te ncrt such

McCONNELL'S SUCCESSOR
IT WOULD be interesting te knew what
Senater Pepper thinks of the task new
assigned te him of recommending a Fed
eral Prohibition Director for Pennsylvania,
new thnt McCenncll is out. Certainly he
realizes, as nil sensible men must, that
political fitness has nothing te de with
the ability et n man te enforce the "dry"
laws.
Part of the trouble that has grown out of
the Yelsttcinl ,ict perhnps most of it is
due unquestionably te the unwritten law
which makes it necessary for the responsible
officials in Washington te cheese their most
important representatives from the rela
tively small company of the politically
qunlillccl. It is beginning le seem doubtful
whether 'nlteadlsm will ever work sw
ccssfully until ttir men who hnve te mis
tain ft us n working principle nie permitted
te select their own workers without con
sulting with any Tcpicsentntive of nn.v po
litical pnrty or faction. U is fair te as
sume that Mr. Pepper would glHdly lenvc

ADJUTANT GENERAL FItANK D.
PEAP.Y stnted n curious fnct nnd, In
cidentally, proposed a question the ether day.
They arc Interesting In view of the pres
ent eutbrenk of Influcnzn in England and
France.
"Are .von aware thnt during the Influenza
epidemic in the full nnd winter of 1018 mere
people died in Pennsylvania of the plague
than nil the battle-killed American soldiers
in the World War?"
Then he went en :
"The total number of American troops
killed outright In battle In Europe during the
war was slightly In excess of 48,000. The
total number of influcnzn deaths in this
State was something ever 00,000."
General Peary emphasized, as ethers since
hnve done, the fnct that the people did net
nt the time appreciate the full horror and
extent of the Influenza plague.
"We were in, the midst of wnr," he raid.
"All our national nnd Individual efforts were
centered in winning. Under the circum
stances the deadly influenza wus merely a
passing incident.
"As a matter of fact, it was the most dis
astrous visitation of death tbl Stute and
the country ut lnrge hns ever experienced.
"It was a veritable plngue."
G
ENERAL HEAItY'S cxperlcncc with the
pestilence nnd the story of the Halifax
disaster were responsible for Important
changes In the Staters military establishment.
The people arc vltnlly interested in these
changes, or precautions rather, which have
never fully been set forth.
Leck of rapid nnd efficient transportation
and the necessity of Immedlate supplies of
feed, shelter, medicine nnd surgical appli
ances wcic solely apparent In the Halifax
horror.
The Inadequacy or Pennsylvania's pie
parcduess during the influenza epidemic or
plngue was equally evident.
There wns inadequate auto transporta
tion. The lack of instant readiness of surgical
and mcdicnl supplies, largely the result of
the war, was emphasized.
It was this experience that caused Gen
eral Beary te begin the work that has pul
Pennsylvania squarely te the front in this
respect.
Every minute of the day or night new the
Stale Is equipped read te answer 1111
emergency cull lu tire. Heed or disaster.
Nine high -powered massive trucks with
the lcadlncss of the Plilladelphiu Eire De

In istntc depots elsewhere are hundreds of

They ciiii be used ns hospitals or dwellings
with (icceinpan.ving cetn, camp chairs, tables
nml utensils.
EYEHY conceivable necessity m case of
cahimft is available.
There nre stretchers, surgical instruments
and bandages, anesthetics nnd antiseptics.
Medical stores, feeds, bed clothing, ever -thing
conceivable thnt might be needed, can
be requisitioned mid forwarded as rapidly
11s trucks can be leaded.
"Wllhln mi hour nfler we get word in
llnrrisburg of nny great calnmliv or disas
ter our trucks, fully manned mid leaded with
supplies, can be 011 the read." said General
Peary.
It is well for the people of Pennsylvania
te knew this.
It is vveiili while for them te knew and
appieclatc what real efficiency in our mili
tary establishment means outside the matter
of arms mid ammunition, drill and diess
parade.

RICHARD L. AUSTIN
On Philadelphia as a Convention City
THE advantages of Philadelphia as a
convention eit.v. both te the residents of
the city and te these who attend the con
ventions fiem all parts of the country, arc
becoming mere apparent each .vcar In the
larger number of conventions which arc held
here and the interest that Is taken In them,
according te RlchnrO Austin, chairman of
the Heard of Directors of the Federal Re

Chamber of Cemmeiee.
"The records of ihe Chimibci of Com
