IDLE COMPARISONS
THE war in which all Europe Is
now engaged is unique In the
history o{/tho world. Compari
son between this gigantic con
flict and the wars of Napoleon and
later struggles that have taken place
on European soil is Idle. The results
of the battles of yesterday can not
serve as guides in forecasting the vic
tories of to-day.
Perhaps no better Illustration of
this can be given than the pronounce
ment of Napoleon himself, who is
quoted as asserting that he doubted
if any man could successfully conduct
an army of 200,000. The "war game"
has been wonderfully developed since
that day. The repeating rifle, the
high power cannon, the machine gun,
the aeroplane, the dirgible balloon,
the automobile and a host of other
appliances too numerous to mention
have been invented since then. The
railroad has taken the place of the
slowly moving wagon train. Popula
tions have grown and men are trained
for fighting now as never before.
Napoleon would be no more able to
duplicate his campaigns in Europe to
day than he would be able to lead a
successful warfare against the people
of Mars.
Indeed, the Corslcan conqueror
would not know his France were he
to return to-day and see marching col
limns heading for the Belgian and
German frontiers from every quarter
of the domain. The fighting strength
of France to-day is 3,000,000, fifteen
times the paltry maximum set Na
poleon, all under the direction of one
general, and 2,500,000 bigger than the
greatest army Napoleon was able to
mobilize at the very zenith of his
career.
Out of the trade conference which
has been called by the Secretary of the
Treasury to consider problems growing
out of the European war, we may ex
pect a better appreciation on the part
of the people of this country of the
need of a merchant marine and better
provisions for handling the enormous
products of the United States. Ship
legislation is urgently required.
OPTIMISM NECESSARY
WE are facing a business con
dition not of our own mak
ing. Our industries, just on
the verge of emerging from
the effects of a long era of experi
mental legislation, are adversely af
fected by the war abroad. It is all
very well to point out errors at home
when they are responsible for husiness
depression, and which can be cured by
a change of administration, hut when
we find ourselves face to face with a
condition such as at present the only
thing to do is to grin and bear it as
cheerfully as we may, for nothing we
may do will change the facts as the
outcome of war conditions which could
not be foreseen a month ago.
. Many of our industries depending
upon imports for Europe or looking
toward Europe for a market are al
most at a standstill. But this state of
affairs cannot apply to all products
and It 'can be but temporary at all
events.
Eventually Europe will find herself
at peace, with her industries crippled
or wrecked, with her fields unculti
vated, her railroads devastated, her
bridges down, many of her towns de
stroyed and her working force de
pleted. In the meantime we shall
have taken over much of the trade
with South America and China that
has heretofore been in the hands of
the English, the Germans and the
French. At the close of the war these
nations will be so busy with their
affairs at home that we shall have
ample opportunity to clinch the ad
vantage the war has given us in for
eign markets not affected by hos
tilities.
Further than that, Europe will not
be in a position to supply its own
needs. More than ever before the
United States will become the "world's
department store," as some writer has
aptly put It.
In view of these things, and with
the prospect of bumper crops all over
the United States this year, we ought
to view with whatever optimism there
Is in us a future that, despite the mis
takes of the administration at Wash
ington, seems bright with promise.
Some understanding of our commer
cial opportunities in South America,
created by, the war, may be judged by
r MONDAY EVENING.
figures given out to-day by John Bar
rett, director of the Pan-American
Union.
All South America Is an enormous
purchaser of the manufactured pro
ducts of Europe. A large portion of
this supply will be shut off during the
next six months and possibly during
the next year or two If the war con
tinues. As many South America coun
tries depend largely upon Europe for
absolute necessities, and a major part
of these orders are placed but a short
time ahead because of the excellence
of the shipping facilities, they are now
face to face with an immediate fa
mine in the articles which they most
generally import.
According to the latest available
figures collated in the Pan-American
Union, the ten South American coun
tries—Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,
Columbia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru,
Uruguay and Venzuela—annually im
port products valued at $961,000,000.
Of this there come from Europe pro
ducts valued close to $660,000,000.
While Great Britain supplies products
of this total to the value of approxi
mately $273,000,000, Germany, which
is completely cut off by the war, sup
plies $180,000,000; France, $84,000-
000; Italy, $54,000,000; Belgium
$47,000,000; Austria-Hungary, SB,OOO
- Netherlands, $8,000,000; Switzer
land, $6,000,000, and other European
countries lesser sums.
For comparison, it can be stated that
the average imports from the United
States of these ten countries of South
America amount to approximately
$155,000,000. Bearing the fact in mind
that the commercial relationship of
South America and Europe has been
so well organized and systematized
that seventy-five per cent, of these
imports are only ordered about a
month or two months ahead of their
delivery, it can be realized how soon
the present supplies on hand in South
America will be exhausted and that
she must depend upon the United
States to make up the deficiency. If
the United States manufacturers and
exporters will exert every effort to sup
ply this emergency demand without
increased prices, or unnecessary delay
they will accomplish great permanent
good for themselves and South Amer
ican business Interests alike.
The same compilation of figures
shows that South America annually
exports to foreign countries products
valued at approximately $1,177,000-
000. Of this total nearly $700,000,000
go to Europe. Of these products
Great Britain takes approximately
$270,000,000; Germany, $157,000,000;
France, $104,000,000; Belgium, S6O
- Netherlands $44,000,000;
Italy, $27,000,000, Austria-Hungary,
$22,000,000; with the remaining
amount divided among different
countries.
For comparison, it can be stated
that these ten countries of South
America export to the United States
annually, products valued at approxi
mately $250,000,000.
With, therefore, their principal mar
kets for their raw products temporar
ily closed against them, these ten
countries are looking for a place to
dispose of their accumulating stores,
and if the importing interests of the
United States, including the manufac
turers of raw material, can relieve
the situation by increasing their pur
chases they may save the Ameri
can business interests from a financial
crisis and turn a widespread depres
sion into a gigantic business boom.
Pennsylvania's health display at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco will be one of the most in
teresting exhibits of that great show.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, as the Health
Commissioner of Pennsylvania, has
brought our care of the health of the
people where it has attracted in
ternational attention. Such a display
as is proposed will still further em
phasize the importance of our great
Department of Health.
KANSAS REPUBLICAN
THERE is much significance in
the result of the election of a
United States senator in Kansas.
While the returns are slow in
coming in, the total vote cast virtually
is known, and shows an entire re
versal over two years ago. The Re
publicans cast nearly twice as many
votes as the Democrats, a total of
128,000. The Democratic vote was
about 71,000, and the Progressive vote
less than 10,000. •
This shows in the most convincing
way the changed attitude of the voter
toward the Republican party. Kansas
was a strong Progressive state ajad the
small vote cast by that party demon
strates the fact that the Republican
elements are being rapidly harmonized
throughout the country.
OUR MERCHANT MARINE
The St. Paul flies the Stars and
Stripes and therefore is not subject
to seizure by any of the European
warships believed to be hover'ng
near the track of ocean liners.
This extract from a newspaper dis
patch in connection with the sailing
of an American steamship, the first
trans-Atlantic vessel to leave New
York without fear of capture since
Great Britain and Germany went to
war, demonstrates the importance of
the movement to restore the American
flag to the seas. Never again should
the United States be placed in the
position of isolation as to shipping
facilities which has come through the
failure of this country to provide its
own merchant marine.
It is high time that our government
gives consideration to a question which
concerns so widely the millions of
American citizens.
With the final cessation of hostili
ties abroad we can think of no mat
ter that will more deserve the thought
of the American statesman than the
shipping interests of the United States.
We have trusted too long to the ves
sels of other nations and ignored our
owjn tremendous development and the
risks involved In the absence of ship
ping facilities under the flag of the
United States.
There doesn't seem to be any rea
son for further worry on account of
the stranded Americans abroad. While
they are inconvenienced to some ex
tent, it appears to be certain that they
all will be given opportunity to return
home without great delay.
[ EVENING CHAT I
Young Harrisburg comes to the
front very much in the latest issue of
Telephone News, which is published
by the Bell Telephone and its asso
ciated companies at Philadelphia for
the information, stimulation and emu
lation of its employes. The News has
a while lot in it worth reading by
people not connected with the great
system and there is much devoted to
how men made good in the pages
devoted to the dissemination of in
formation section, while starts at the
bottom rung of the ladder are made
a specialty in that portion which is
prepared for stimulating the efforts of
the many employes. The pictures and
the features are enough to make
anyone want to emulate. Where Har
risburg comes in is in the article by
Head Messenger Harry H. Hower, of
Philadelphia. He tells how messenger
service is made worth while for com
pany and boy and there are pictures
and pleasant references to the hustling
abilities of three Harrisburg youths—
Alfred J. Fean, messenger of the traffic
department, John Carroll Gosney, mes
senger of the plant department, and
Walter King Cohill, messenger for the
revenue accounting department. It's
a wise policy the Bell is pursuing and
its publicity schemes are making it
solid with the great mass of people.
At the same time it is building up a
corporation spirit that will be beyond
estimating in dollars and cents.
War talk has, slangily speaking,
surely slipped one over even on base
ball talk these days as a prime-all-the
tlme subject for general discussion and
anything that suggests the martial
spirit in anyway, arouses prompt and
enthusiastic interest. For instance:
To-day a couple of strangers who
were believed to be members of the
English beneficial society of the Sons
of St. George strolled down Walnut
street, each carrying a flag over his
shoulder. That in itself didn't cause
a general turning and staring of the
people in the streets however; the
flags were the cause.
One was Old Glory—the other was
the English Union Jack.
"Now, sah," grinned a negro cart
driver, "now sah AM some com
bination!"
People' living in New Cumberland
and who travel to this city on trolley
cars are commencing to make pools
about the time when the big rlvar dam
will be completed. The gap in the
dam is being slowly lessened, but the
work is going slowly and the observers
have concluded that it is a good thing
for wagers. Most of the bets are that
it will be finished by October 1, al
though some bet as late as October
15.
More "boards of stategy" have been
in session around Harrisburg the last
few evenings than realized, and it's
funny to see some of the club, cigar
store, corner or parlor "board" mem
bers boning up for the evening discus
sions. They seize the latest editions
of the newspapers and then hustle for
a couple of maps to work up their
ideas. The result is that when the
"sessions" begin they are prepared to
discuss the prospective movements
and even the outcome of the war with
all comers.
Wisconsin State officials and legis
lators who were here for the visit of
the forestry people to the State's re
serves and forestry academy were
more than delighted with the State
Capitol. They spent several hours
visiting the various departments and
making careful inspection of the legis
lative halls and the State suites. The
Wisconsin people have recently com
pleted a very handsome Capitol at
Madison, but admit that it is nothing
to compare to Harrisburg's splendid
building.
It is probable that the State His
torical Commission will be asked to
take some steps to commemorate the
site of Fort Halifax, which was re
ferred to in this column on Saturday.
This fort, which wag erected some
time after Fort Hunter, stood on the
hill right above the station and com
manded a fine view of the river. It
was one of a chain erected along the
Susquehanna and. while frequently
mentioned in Colonial papers, dis
appeared from public view when the
French and Indian War had ended
and the Indians had gotten out of the
habit of making raids on the Sus
quehanna Valley because of the dan
gers they ran.
"If this war keeps going on people
will he hanging ribbons on the cage*
containing the Belgian hares at the
county fairs this year. There'll be
more people looking at the rabbits
because they're called Belgian than
anything else." said "h man familiar
with exhibitions yesterday. "I remem
ber when the Belgian hares were in
troduced they were to reduce the high
cost of living an great things were
promised for them. In some way the
Belgian hare scheme fell through, but
now. thanks to the bravery of the
Belgians, their rabbits are at
tracting attention."

CARGO GOES UP «50,000
A cargo of about 6.000 tons of sugar
in the hold of the Norwegian steam
ship Storfond, lying off the Delaware
Breakwater, advanced more than $50,-
000 in value over night. An advance
of ten points in local quotations yester
day, caused by the European war, was
responsible for the holder of this sugar
clearing a nice little fortune on his
holdings.
When the vessel arrived at the Dela
ware Breakwater July 8 from Matanzas
sugar was selling at such a low price
that speculators would not permit the
vessel to put Into any port. Although
the cost of holding the vessel at the
Breakwater for so long a time will be
considerable, it is estimated that after
these charges are paid the holder will
have cleared what most men consider
a fortune.

FOCHT'S GREAT ADDRESS
Discusses America's Opportunity at
the Perry County Reunion
and Wins Praise
Colonel Roosevelt's declination to
speak at Scranton on Labor Day, as
announced through the Colonel's letter
in the Telegraph on Friday, has caus
ed Bull Moosers and Democrats much
dismay. The Democratic machine
noisemakers are going around saying
that there is nothing to it and the
Progressive windpipes beginning with
the deep bass of Lewis and ending
with the shrill treble of Detrich are
putting forth the sound that it does
not matter.
As a matter of fact the refusal of
the Colonel to speak at Scranton has
knocked the Bull Moose plans for the
first part of September into a cocked
hat and has caused some of the Dem
ocratic strategists to consider re
modelling of their campaign plans.
The Democrats counted on Roosevelt
making a great splash on Labor Day
and continuing his speech making.
The Colonel's use of the phrase "If"
in talking about coming into Penn
sylvania has upset many thijigs. Then,
too, the Democrats are confronted
with doing something to overcome the
effect of McCormick's failure to get
even the Democratic boosters work
ing.
Ex-Congressman Benjamin K.
Foc-ht, of Lewisburg, made a great
speech on America's opportunities in
the present Euro
pean crisis at the
annual Perry coun- FocJit Makes
ty reunion at Blain Great Speech
on Saturday. The to Perry Men
cong re s sman re-
sponded to the ad
dress o° welcome at the opening of
the exercises and for more than an
hour held the attention of 1,500 peo
ple by his address on America with
its freedom of conscience and life.
Mr. Focht is noted as a speaker, but
the European war pave him oppor
tunity to go into many matters and he
surpassed himself, winning much
commendation. Mr. Focht refrained
from stump speaking, which was in
sharp contrast to some of the men
who followed him. B. S. Duncan, the
Democratic county chairman; Vance
C. McCormick, Democratic candidate
for governor, and Frank L. Dershem,
Democratic candidate for congress,
also spoke.
A story from Philadelphia is to the
effect that efforts to bring about fus
ion between the Dei..ocratf* and Bull
Moosers have not been
abandoned, and that
Still Hope men with McCormick
to Arrange are trying to do what
For Fusion they can to save him
from one of the worst
beatings a man ever got
in Pennsylvania. In th? Philadelphia
storv it is stated: "Recently the work
of trying to affect fusion between the
Democrats and Progressives has been
given to 'Farmer' William T. Creasy
of Catawissa, the Democratic nominee
for lieutenant-governor. He has been
prominent in so many fusion and anti-
Democratic movements that he is pe
culiarly qualified to do business with
men of all parties. Creasy, it is stat
ed. Is advocating Plnchot for senator;
McCormick for governor and William
Draper Lewis for lieutenant-governor.
Congressman Palmer Is not specially
opposed to such a plan. It is a well
known fact that he is anxious to leave
the Democratic ticket and accept a
place tinder President Wilson as a
federal judge. The only Democratic
candidate who is expected to oppose
fusion with the Progressives is Wil
liam N. McNair, of Pittsburgh, the
nominee for Secretary of Internal Af
fairs. He is a Ryan man, and be
lieves in straight Democracy with no
entangling alliances. His nomination
was a shock to the Palmer-McCormick
people, who felt that the SBO,OOO they
expended during the primary cam
paign would pull through the entire
reorganizers' slate.
Dr. Horace Hoskins, for years one
of the torchbearers in the cause of
Democratic reform and recently one
of the sharpest critics
of the tendency of
McCormick, Pa 1m e r Hoskins
and Morris to try and Flaying
outdo the famous Bosses
bosses of political his
tory, issued a mani
festo at ' Philadelphia on Saturday
which has not been referred to by the
Mark-'t Square beagle. Dr. Hoskins
talks about the determined stand of
a brave little band of Philadelphia
Den-oerats for reform and how In sea
son and out the battle went, on and
then talks about the disposition of
certain Democrats now in the saddle
through cash, flattery and office to run
the machine. The doctor remarks
casually on the recognition of recent
converts when It came to passing
around the pie and announces that
there will be fighting. This means at
least three factions to the "united and
harmonious" Democracy in Philadel
phia.

—McCormick does not refer in his
speeches to the fact that Democratic
legislators were the hungriest in
grabbing charity appropriations last

—State Chairman Morris goes far,
far afield in his effort to make capital

—Senator Penrose will get a great

—Palmer was able to be out playing
golf on Saturday,' but not to visit

—Paxtang's new school board -will
organize to-night.
—Dr. Hoskins does not appear to
have abated any of his hostility to
bosses. He was on the war path when
Morris and McCormick broke into the
game and he's against them now when
they have undertaken to boss.
—Receiving days have not proved a

CONSTIPATION
~m 2 MINUTES-
Adrienne, the Editor of "Health & Beauty" page in
Fhe Philadelphia Inquirer, gives Mothers this very sensible
advice: .
"Try to do without drugs. I say this, not from any dislike to
the use of medicines in treating children, but because we are here
dealing with a. function that persists throughout life. If we control
that function by drugs we injure the intestines in their action, so
that larger and larger doses must be taken, and in the course of time
nothing short of giant doses of the most powerful purgatives will ef
fect the result desired, and as such drugs when habitually used in
jure the system—the condition of the sufferer is pitiable."
Had she written a whole volume she could not have said
more. Only she might have added—that where children
or grown folks are constipated they should —by all means,
be treated with Tu-80-Lax. This laxative ointment, which
is inserted in the rectum, brings immediate relief without
disturbing the stomach, intestines or any part of the body,
and soon habituates the lower bowel to act regularly with
out assistance Treating Constipation through the mouth in
any shape will soon be tabooed by the Medical Profession.
We want everybody to realize the fact that the lower bowel
is nothing more or less than a sewer pipe, and when it be
comes clogged or fails to evacuate the refuse matter —it
upsets digestion, creating dyspepsia, nervousness, liver ail
ments, sick headache and general debility.
If you are constipated—trv TU-80-LAX, and in 2
MINUTES you will be grateful for this advice. You will
have no more use for Cathartics. TIJ-80-LAX is as pleas
ant and easily used as taking a swallow of water. It gives
you one complete evacuation, and avoids the weakening ef
fect of Cathartics that may operate a half dozen times, just
when it is most inconvenient.
All druggists sell it —or upon receipt of 25 cents we will
mail you a package.
