Because of the reckless use of guns by Mexicans a crisis may develop at any time in the vicinity of Naco, the point to which the artillery has been assigned. President Wilson admits that the reinforcements were sent be cause of the> relentless carelessness of Mexican fighters, but that no aggress ive action is contemplated. Be that as it may, one cannot escape the conviction that General Bliss sum moned his gunners south in order to pour shells Into the Mexican camps if the shooting of United States sol diers continues. By the use of artil lery the border could be cleared read ily of the infesting snipers without an American soldier setting foot on Mex ican soil. If some such move were not in prospect there would have been no reason for the artillery. The in fantry and cavalry forces on the ground were quite competent to take the offensive successfully If it had been thought desirable to cross the border in order to drive the reckless riflemen away. RED RIBBON FOR IIERRICK MYRON T. HERRICK, until recently Ambassador of the United States to France, is home wearing the red ribbon of the French Legion of Honor, awarded him by a grateful republic for the services he performed during the trying period when representatives of foreign governments less valorous than the American fled Paris as the Germans approached. The country is proud of Mr. Herrick. He has made himself a place in history. His name will always be attached to the stirring occurrences of the period when the German invasion threatened the French capital. He has set a fine example for those who will follow him in the diplomatic service, just as Whitlock in Belgium and VanD.vke in Holland are now doing. Mr. Herrick Is quite as modest as he is able and brave, and quite as sagacious as either. He told reporters that the talk of his nomination for the Presidency is "foolishness" and said: "I don't want to discuss poli tics; I don't want to talk about such foolishness. If any credit is due me for the small part I played, I do not want to capitalize it." In that Air. Herrick displays the true instincts of a genuinely brave man and conscientious public servant, and at the same time indicates that he knows something of the vagaries of American politics. The popular hero of to-day is seldom the President of to-morrow. TIME NOW TO TAKE STOCK NEAR the end of the year busi nessmen cast up their accounts in order to find out their true financial condition. We are fast approaching that season now and it is not a bad idea for others, especially parents, to do likewise in regard to their personal finances. Are you further ahead in that re spect now than you were at the end of last year? Money in the bank at the close of the year is a good measure of your success in material things. Have you as large a savings account as you should and could have? Extra money beyond that required for living expenses is a buffer against hardship and misfortune. So, if you would not be forever crushed between the upper and nether millstones of poverty, you must save systematically from the Income of your working years. But It Is possible in this day of opportunity to do much more than just escape being poor. You can be come rich if you really want to. The world has by no means exhausted the opportunities for men of limited means but the right kind of determi nation. Money begets money. But the peo ple who are without capital and who sometimes complain bitterly against those who have, frequently forget that the original nucleus for men's for tunes cost immense sacrifices on the part of the owners. If you have declared yourself no dividend for the year 1914 in the shape of money saved from your income, turn your face toward the coming year and plan to do better for your- THURSDAY EVENING, self and those who are dependent upon you in 1915. Some persons are inclined to re gard New Year's resolutions lightly, j but, as a rule, they do not ridicule the resolutions themselves, but make fun of those who fall to keep good resolutions made. One of the most sensible New Tear's resolutions that anyone can make Is to save money systematically and deposit it regularly in the bank. It is a double-barreled resolution be cause its fulfillment means stronger character as well as increased re sources. Make It and keep it, and get your share of the $120,000,000 interest paid to depositors every year by the sav ings banks and similar institutions of the United States. BUY A RKI) CROSS STAMP WHILE Hurrisburg is remem bering, with all the wealth of its purse and Christmas spirit-filled heart, the victims of the raging armies of stricken Eu rope, It hasn't forgotten the suffering of the poor people at home who are In bitter conflict with the "white plague." The 1914 Red Cross Christmas seal sale is on- in earnest. Churches and schools, secret and fraternal organ izations, Boy Scouts, merchants, bank ers and utility companies have enlisted in the crusade. Just 300,000 of the Tuletide seals, the little gift pasters that should be placed upon every Christmas package, have been received for distribution here and the prospects are that all will be sold. That means $3,000, most of which will be used in this city and vicinity. The general committee is busy working out its plans and all that it needs to make the year's sales break another record is the hearty co operation of every man, woman and child in Harrisburg. THE EDISON FIRE THE whole country should rejoice that the experimental labora tory of Thomas A. Edison was not destroyed by the fire swept the Edison plant at West Orange yesterday. Edison is wealthy; so Is the company that bears his name, and. aside from the period of enforced unemployment for the factory work ers, the fire will result in little real hardship. But if the laboratory had gone up in smoke, stocked as it is with fnvaiuable data, delicate me chanism requiring years to construct and the incomplete experiments that will lead to the marketing of more of the useful devices that have done so much to add to the comforts of life, the whole nation would have been the loser. Edison has been for years urging the construction of nothing but fire proof buildings, and he himself has invented much apparatus for the use of concrete in structural work. The factories burned last night were of concrete, but not fireproof. It is just possible that this incident may be turned to account by the wonderful inventor. His thoughts having been directed that way. It Is not impossible that we shall hear shortly of some new devices and discoveries in the way of flre prevention and inde structible factories. GERMAN NAVAL STRENGTH THE defeat of the German squad ron in South American waters by the British is not an unex pected event in naval circles. From the very first it has been only a question of catching or rounding up this elusive force of fast German war ships. Nobody acquainted with con ditions looked for anything else. The Germans themselves must have real ized the inevitable end of their daring maneuvers. Indeed, it has long been a wonder to naval men how the Germans kept going as long as they have. Few of their vessels have touched port since war was declared, yet all of the ships have given good account of themselves in the destruction of merchant ma rine and fighting craft of lesser caliber which they encountered by chance or deliberate planning. The commanders of these cruisers deserve a better fate than that which has overtaken or will in all likelihood overtake them be- I fore peace is declared. They have shown themselves to be seamen of re source and courage. In this, as on land, German success up to this time has not lain either in superior generalship on the field of action or in the fighting qualities of the men, but in thorough prepared ness for the work which they under tcx>k when the hostilities were started. They knew from the beginning what to do, while the allies have had to feel their way and formulato their plans largely along the lines cast for them by the German war staff. CORRESPONDENCE COURSES CORRESPONDENCE school course merits are now recognized in al most every walk of life and pro fession except that of the law. There is no good reason why a student should not become proficient in the rudiments of law required by examin ing boards as readily through the me dium of a good correspondence school as by filing papers, copying and occa sionally "reading law" in some attor ney's office. Yet the clerk is accepted and the correspondence student is re jected. There is all too much of close cor poration methods among lawyers. It la true that many men are admitted to practice who never will be a credit to their profession, but it is also true that a large number of worthy appli cants have found their path rougher by far than proper regard for legal attainments would necessitate. The only questions that should aris? in the minds of any examining board are—is the applicant a man of good moral character and can he pass a reasonable examination In the prac tice of law. After that it is nobody's business who or how many become lawyers, nor how or where the requir ed knowledge la acquired I EVENING CHAT 1 From time to time articles appear in newspapers along the Susquehanna Valley and bccasi onally in Harrls burg that tell of the passing of some portion of the old Pennsylvania canal, years ago the great enterprise and an object of much interest to the people of scores of towns that were touched by the towpath. We have seen the disappearance of the famous lock at the foot of Walnut street and have seen the Pennsylvania railroad tracks grow and grow until they have covered the site of the old waterway from one end of Harrlsburg to the other and in Steelton we have noted how portions have been filled up and other parts retained as reservoirs. Not long ago the Harrlsburg Railways Company built its line to Rockville bridge right up to the old canal north of Ott's lane and around Lochiel the filling operations have caused the sec tion that remains about the Lochiel lock to grow smaller and smaller. The site of the canal affords many pretty walks up along the river and it can be traced by the bridges still standing below Highspire. Now the trustee. Samuel Rea. persident of tlie Pennsylvania railroad, which has the lien against the land is planning to sell off some of the sections in th» upper end of the county and the Clark's Ferry bridge. The sections to be sold are in Wilkes-Bi'rre about the Montgomery dam, in Selinsgrove and Penn township. Snyder county; four houses and land at Juniata Junc tion in Reed township, the Clark's Ferry lock and 8,700 feet of the Juniata division of the canal touch ing it: Clark's Ferry bridge, 2,088 feet in length: and a section of the Wlco nisco division Just above the bridge. The sale of the bridge will, of course, be subject to what proceedings are pending against it, but the ;.ale of the others will be outright and !n all probability the buyers will All up the ditch and either plant railroad tracks or cabbages on it. Within the nc#rt decade there will be precious little of the traces of the waterway left. The decision of the Dauphin County Commissioners yesterday to the ef fect that "three meals" shall consti tute a day.'s keep for a prisoner eon ilned in the county jail for violation of a city ordinance settles a dispute that has been at issue between the county and city authorities for sev eral years. Heretofore, in submitting its bill for city prisoners' keep to the municlpo'lty the prison inspectcrs fig ured upon a charge of thirty-two cents per diem. The city thought twenty cents was sufficient. A com promise on twenty-six cents -vas final ly agreed upon. One of th-i points raised by the city was that the prison authorities charged for a full day's keep when a prisoner was confined only for a portion of a day; and that two days' ke was charged for when a man was c< .alined aftei the evening nv.-al of cne night and released before breakfast the rext morning. Tn or der to regui'ite the problem in the fu- Uiie it was agreed yesterday that 'he service of Ihree meals would mean a day. and that each meal would re counted as. 01 e- third of a day. Members of the Dauphin County Historical Society arc looking forward with considerable interest to the lec- I ture to be given this evening by Ben jamin M. Nead on the "First Confed erate Invasion of Pennsylvania." Mr. Xead comes from Franklin county which bore the brunt of the invasion of the gray and will relate first hand incidents of the raids. It is one of a series he will deliver. Some good stories are being told about the State documents which used to be handed out with such a lavish uand from Capitol Hill and which un der the Tener law are placed under restrictions. It seems that there are ' large stacks of books which have not been called for and that in many in stances people who were really inter ested in reports were able to obtain thcin. In former times the books wore sent out by members of the Leg islature and the supply was soon cut short. N'ot long ago a man wrote in for a copy of a mines report. He asked that if it could not be furnished tlmt t.c be told where he might find one as he had been given an agricul tural report a few years ago when he was unable to get what he asked. Congressman-elect S. Taylor North, of Punxsutawney, who was here yes iterday on his way home from Wash ington, said that he had been look ing over the National Capitol. Mr. North served four terms as a mem ber of the Pennsylvania Legislature and was chairman of the appropria tions committee last session. Col. H. C. Demming, who returned last evening from Gettysburg:, said that there was three and four inches of snow on the mountains between this city and the battlefield.

Making the Store Pay Every foot of available floor space that does not have a cus tomer in it is dead expense. There are many ways a re tailer can assist in keeping his store busy. He can give good service, sell at fair prices, and he can adver tise these facts In his home news papers. He should also take full ad vantage of the manufacturer's advertising. When the national manufac turer advertises his product In the newspapers, the retailer should take advantage of thla (advertising by showing the goods and drawing the people to his store. HARRIBBURG OSS&l TELEGRAPH SCHEMING TO STAY ON POLITICAL MAP Democratic and 801 l Moose Chief tains Will Use the Legisla ture to Furnish Noise TO DRAFT "TROUBLE" BILLS Palmer and the President Talk I Over the War Among the Penn sylvania Democrats —Democratic and Washington party leaders are planning to gather in some campaign issues by means of legislation the'y will offer to the next! General Assembly and meetings of i men in charge of drafting of ciils will! be held between Christmas and the j middle of January to dotjrir.lio what kind of material to prepare. After j the decistve defeat of last month the men In charge of the he i.(quarto l , s of. the two parties reailzj that it will take hard work to keep on the map and they propose to do a lot of talking E-omt uplft legislation and the \vti fare of the people. —The plan of the Democratic lead ers is to revive the legislative com mittee which drafted the charity ap propriation and other measures last session and to frame up a series of bills which will not go through be cause they will be different from those of the Republicans and as much capital as possible will be made out of the charity appropriations as pos sible. The Bull Moosers are expected to have the minimum wage and other measures which failed last session ready together with some corrupt practices and other election bills. If any attempt is made to radically change the. primary laws either in re gard to holding of State conventions or to prevent people from being named after a primary there will be loud objections. —The Democratic State headquar ters here will become a thing of the past to-morrow and the end if tne week will see the locking of the doors and the transference of all business to the Philadelphia headquarters. When committees meet here they will have headquarters at a hotel. The Washington party people may have a legislative headquarters here during the session. —The Woman Suffrage Association and State Federation of Labor will maintain their headquarters through out the session. —The great problem of the future of the Democratic party in Pennsylva nia, especially with reference to the question whether there should be an amalgamation between the "Reor gunlzers" and the "Old Guard," was discussed by President Wilson and Representative A. Mitchell Palmer at the White House yesterday. It is un derstood that Representative Palmer stood firmly for a continuation of the tight against the "Old Guard" and It Is probable that the President will sup port him. Patronage was not discussed at the interview, it Is understood. There has been considerable talk In the Pennsylvania delegation about an other reorganization of the party, with a new leader, but the movement, if It can be called that, has not yet crystal lized into any definite action. It is not likely that the President will give his consent to any action that has In view the elimination of Mr. Palmer. Nevertheless, it is said that some of the old leaders will shortly make an effort to convince the President that the party vote in Pennsylvania was decimated as a result of the tight of the "Reorganizers." —Congressman W. N. Oarr is getting ready his contest of the seat of his successful rival at Washington and hopes to make an Impression. He will attack the Fayette county results. —Burgess Jacob Kline, of Ephrata, one of the oldest town officials in Lan caster couny, has resigned. —Congressman Warren Worth Bailey, of Johnstown, who took the warpath after the election, has been invited to be one of the speakers at the Jackson day dinner in Philadelphia. —Senator Penrose, Governor-elect Brumbaugh and Lieutenant-governor elect Frank B. McClain will be guests of honor at a reception at the Union League in Philadelphia to-night. —Adherents of President W. Hor ace Hoskins put the followers of State Chairman Roland S. Morris to decisive route last night in their efforts to con trol the Democratic Club of Philadel phia, former pet organization of the reorganizes. The Hoskins men de feated an appeal made by. Collector of Internal Revenue Lederer from a de cision of the chair that only mem bers with dues paid could participate In the proceedings of the club. The Hoskins faction also scored in electing Anthony J. Flerk, Sr., as a director over James H. Howard, reorganization leader in the Firty-sixth ward. Both victories were won by the similar re sult of 42 to 32. Chairman Morris, a club director, was again an absentee. The meeting was the most turbulent of the series of heated gatherings which have marked the career of the club. —Governor-elect Brumbaugh stated yesterday that he had received scores of letters from applicants for jobs un der his administration, but did not propose to give much attention to am bitions of place-geekers until he con- Will The-e Be a Vic trola in Your Home This Chrifltma»?

MORE WEATHER Ily Wing Dinger I wrote some verses yesterday That dwelt at large upon the way The weather has behaved this week. And In Its favor I did speak. Because the farmers wanted rain To help along the growing grain. But there's a limit to such stuff, And now I think we've had enough. The rain was welcome, and I think It tine that plants all got a drink, But when this wet snow comes along I'm ready quite to join the throng: That's losing all its temper sweet. With shivers, coughs and well-soaked _ feet. And while I'm not inclined to whine, I sure would like to see sunshine. i ni " w ot m&p i [From the Telegraph, Dec. 10, 1864.] Sherman Reports Capture Washington, Dec. 10.—Sherman re ports the capture of Mllledgeville, (5a., together with a large amount of am munition.

COOK 1 IPIiiW IIIWWM—r BOOKS and rfg We are always interested to hear of a new book by Richard Harding Davis, but when it is on a subject as inear his heart as a great war and ! when he writes his own experiences jin the thick of the fighting, it is more than ever welcome. Mr. Davis was in Rheims Cathedral while it was being shelled. He was captured by the Germans and almost treated as a spy. He saw Louvain shortly after its destruction and he had the great est difficulty with the war censor ship. Charles Scrlbner's Sons are bringing out these experiences in a book entitled "With the Allies." Speaking of war books no one is better fitted to write of the present war than E. Alexander Powell, who has been special correspondent of the New York World at the front. Mr. Powell was an eye-witness of every phase of the great drama culmina ting in the fall of Antwerp and he was the only war correspondent who witnessed the entry of the Germans into the city. His new book, "Fight ing in Flanders" is about to be pub lished. (Scribners). To settle disputes and to form basis for a clear understanding of the war situation, there is no more complete book than "The Diplomatic History of the War" (Scribners) which in TVouble Yearl ( Don't start off the first thin* this Fall with a repetition of your M coal troubles of former years.

This Is the first and only com plete collection of this material which t has appeared in the United States. Another great dispute settler is Ad miral Charles H. Stockton's "Outlines of International Law" (Scribners). It gives the full texts of the Hague Convention in 1907, the International Naval Conference held at London In 1909, President Wilson's Proclamation of Neutrality, and a large amount of material in the very difficulties which are at present most under discussion, such as contraband, neutrality, aerial warfare, military occupation, the high seas, etc. A foreigner who tells of his exper iences in becoming an American citi zen finds a ready audience and Mr. A. M. Rihbany's "A Far Journey" bids fair to become as widely read and as of great influence as that other work with which one inevitably associates it, Mary Antin's "The Promised Land." Among the responses most gratifying to Mr. Rihbang is a letter from the principal of a school In New York in which the student body is made up or 25,000 girls, most of them foreign born and all of them of for eign parentage. These girls, hearing through their teacher of "A Far Jour ney," have adopted for their motto Mr. Rihbany's aim—"to conquer Ig norance by Knowledge, Sin by Right eousness, Discord by Harmony, Ha tred by Love."
