WILSON AND MEXICO IS It the intention of President Wil son to do in Mexico as president ex-officio of the Red Cross what he refused to do some months ago as President of the United States? In China they refer to this sort of thing as saving one's face. Having announced that It will raise $2,000,000 in cash and supplies for the starving Mexicans, the Red Cross has been assured by the President that the administration will take such steps as may be necessary to make effective the relief work. "Friendly interven tion" is to take the place of the futile J "watchful waiting" policy that has re sulted In nothing at all save demoral ization south of the Rio Grande. It is given out at Washington that the. President intends to proceed sending foodstuffs to the Mexicans and In the event that any of the factions now disturbing the country show an un willingness to allow the Red Cross to proceed with the work,.or should at tempt to divert foodstuffs from the civilians to the soldiers, then the Presi dent will give the 90 per cent, of the people any assistance they may ask to rid themselves of the internal ene mies. It is believed at Washington that the time will not come when It will be necessary for the President to put an army across the border—that is, an army of any great size—because he expects that a stiffening of the peace ful Mexican backbone by the realiza tion that the United States will sup port those people in restoring order will result In a cessation of the pres ent conflict. But what is still paramount In the minds of many people is the thought that the President would have saved himself and the country a lot of trou ble by recognizing Huerta, the only one in authority, more, than two years ago, instead of encouraging Villa and Carranza, who have since proved themselves of the same stripe as the other bandits who have despoiled our unhappy neighbor. The Mexican situation has hardly been handled in a way to increase re spect for American diplomacy, and the conditions are now Infinitely more difficult than they were at the outset of the Wilson administration when the President insisted upon the retire ment of Huerta, the de facto head of the country, and the selection of a successor agreeable to the Washington government. Truly, now is a time calling for wis dom and firmness, that we may avoid the pitfalls upon every hand. It is characteristic of the National Guard authorities of Pennsylvania that preparedness should mark every step In the development of the State's mili tia. This week the first of a series of camps will begin at Mt. Gretna, where the officers of the Guard will assemble for instruction. Next month will fol low the brigade encampments, and it Is certain that after a week of instruc tion the officers will be in better shape to train the men under them. THE ALLIES AT METZ /TMIE report that the French are preparing to lay siege to Metz, 1 the great German fortress, is significant of the changed aspect of the fighting in Alsace-Lorraine. Only a few months ago the Germans were threatening to do to Verdun what they did to Liege and other Belgian strong holds. Verdun is thirty-seven miles from Metz, to the West, and the "nibbling" tacticß of Joffre have pushed back the Invaders not only be yond gunfire of Verdun, but have brought the French to the very doors of Metz. This does not mean, however, that the great armed camp of the Kaiser is in any Immediate danger. The fortress, like that of Verdun, is sur rounded by heights affording admir able protection and commanding long distances of approaching ground. In the time of the French possession of Alsace-Lorraine it was supposed to be the strongest fortified place on the frontier. The Germans began to strengthen it immediately after 1871. The work was finished in 1890. An other transformation, during which a number of new forts were built, began in 1900 and was not yet completed at the outbreak of the war. The place is defended by twenty five modern forts with many inter vening redoubts and secret field works. The southernmost forts are the Sommy MONDAY EVENING, and Haesler, which adjoin each other | on the right bank of the Moselle and the left bank of the Seille. and Wac ner on the right bank of the Seille. It la supposed to be the forta of Sommy and Haesler that are now being at tacked. The former is one of the most recently constructed forts of the fortress. Joffre is not' one to rush his troops headlong at Metz as the Germans were hurled to destruction at Liege, tie is evidently - bent on reducing the fort ress by the less costly means by which he has sapped and mined his way to its gates. He is awaiting, very likely, the bringing up of the new English mortars. It will be' Interesting to com pare the work of these newly-devised weapons of siege with the results at tained by the great guns Qf the Ger mans at Namur. In this war the fort ress has been less easy to defend than the trench and it would not be sur prising to find the allies as successful here as were the Germans before the Belgian strongholds. Thousands of people have already ad mired the Capitol of Pennsylvania and its treasures of art and decoration and thousands more will visit Harrisburg when Governor Brumbaugh's plans for the improvement of our highways have been worked out. Superintendent Rambo's order to keep the building open holidays will be generally ap proved. PRACTICAL CIVIL SERVICE IT Is common report on Capitol Hill that George H. Biles, of Philadel phia, now in charge of the main tenance work of the State Highway Department, will be advanced to suc ceed E. A. Jones, of Scranton, who resigned a few days ago as Second Deputy Highway Commissioner. This will be a recognition of faithful ser vice in line with the well-known views of the Governor and Commissioner Cunningham and a practical demon stration of the administration's civil service policy. Since the outset of the State's good roads movement Mr. Biles has been one of the officials whose engineering skill and general fitness for the work have been appreciated by those famil iar with his devotion to duty and his realization of the great undertaking upon which the State has entered. All the friends of a faithful official will hope that the rumor concerning the preference of Commissioner Cunning ham Is correct. Isn't It enough that the business of the country has been hectored almost to the vanishing point in many lines through the meddling of a Democratic Congress that we should now be threat ened with an extra session of that re markable body of misfit statesmen. If the President really wants to restore the business equilibrium, he will frown down the extra session talk of*hlleged leaders olr his party, who are never so happy as when they are strutting about Washington giving a rank imitation of the real thing in statesmanship. "M. G." AND IJXCOLX HIGHWAY WITH the tremendous Impetus given the nation-wide propa ganda for better highways by Governor Martin G." Brumbaugh, the road-building movement in Pennsyl vania and elsewhere is bound to go forward with Increasing momentum. That "Good Roads Day" proclamation and Its practical effect have placed "M. G.", as the Governor is known up the .'uniata Valley, among the great leaders In this constructive work. And it is almost certain that he will throw the weight of his Influence on the side of the proposition to divert the Lincoln highway, which will ex tend from coast to coast, from a ten tative line southward so as to touch Harrisburg and the several towns on the old Pittsburgh and Philadelphia pike through the Juniata Valley; famed in song and story and easily the most picturesque and historic region In the State. It is inconceivable that such a highway could be established with out touching the capital and his great interest in his native Commonwealth will make the Governor a potential figure in the adoption of the national highway. The fellow who said the Washington administration had imposed an income tax when there was no Income and a war tax when there was no war, will probably have something to say about the new national law that has com pelled the railroad companies on and after to-morrow to require all travel ers to pay ten cents for each additional SIOO of valuation on the contents of their trunks. Where in the name of all that's sensible Is the paternalism of the present Democratic dynasty to end! PROSECUTE THE "DOPESTERS" IT Is to be hoped that the Poor Board's Investigation of the sale of habit-forming drugs in Harrisburg will prove that the charges are ground less. But If there is evidence to show that anybody in any walk of life has been breaking the federal law In this respect, he or she should be prosecuted to the full extent of the statute. There is no more dastardly, in human trade in the world than that which fattens the pockets of those who engage in it at the expense of the happiness, the honor and the life of those upon whose patronage it de pends. Whisky drinking is bad enough, In all conscience, but drug-taking is a hundredfold worse. It is possible for some few men to "drink moderately," so that to all appearances they are not seriously injured thereby, but there is only one end for the man who uses drugs, and that is dishonor and death. -The federal government was a long time In arriving at a conclusion with respect to the outrageous traffic In opium and drugs of its kind, but, hav ing enacted a law designed to abolish the trade, fts agents have bfeen char acteristically active in its suppression. , There are no more tireless nor more conscientious officers In the world than those employed to enforce the federal statutes of the United States. They have a big task on their hands in the present crusade, but they have public opinion with them, and all good citizens should give their assistance wherever possible. Dealing in hablt formtng drugs must be made as rare in the United States ait the manu facture of "moonshine" whisky or the making of counterfeit money—and Just as serious an offense. ""PTKKOL{£<JC4,7TTA By the Ex-Oommittceman People at the Capitol are consider ing with a great deal of Interest the probable political effect of the sur vey of the State government which is contemplated by the new Economy and Efficiency Commission which will consist of the Governor, auditor gen eral and attorney general. The cleri cal expenses of this commission are carried in the $35,000 item in the au ditor general's department and the officials Nvill have the report of the Tener commission as a guide. Governor Brumbaugh will dominate the commission and will also have the authority to bring about a good many changes without interfering with stat utory provisions and Auditor General A-'W. Powell is expected to "go along" with the executive. The Governor has probably the most complete informa tion about the political .ittiliations and backing of every employe in the State departments, boards, commissions and institutions ever compiled and with the results of expert study of the de tails of the State government he may be able to make changes that would be justified by both. Probably a score of the recommen dations of the old Economy and Effi ciency Commission were passed in the form of bills, most of which are before the Governor for action and some of (he changes were put by, for further consideration, while some were "passed up." Indications are that interesting po iii root'es are to be made on Capitol Hill. The fate of some of the 708 bills in the hands of the Governor will foreshadow what is going: to happen to some of the legislators and when ap propriations are given the final execu tive revision it is likely that the lists of employes of the government will get attention. Incidentally new ap pointees will be expected to be "right" on local option and all other adminis tration measures that appear next ses sion. —Ex-Senator Frank E. Baldwin, of Austin. Potter county, is said to have some congressional ambitions which may be heard from this summer when a Republican candidate to succeed Edgar R. Kiess is nominated. —The Berks county judicial pri maries promise to be interesting this year because there is talk that Demo crats may disregard party lines In an effort to defeat Judge R. G. Bushong. The judge was named by Governor Tener to fill a vacancy. —G. Scott Smith, the Kane editor, and one of the active Republicans of McKean county, is being talked of for senator in the McKean-Potter-Tioga district and if he desires to enter the race will be a formidable candidate next year. Mr. Smith is well known to many here as he was in the city fre quently during the legislative session and has many friends. —Suggestion of Director Porter for mayor of Philadelphia appear to have aroused some of the Vare people, who think with Joe Rogers, assistant dis trict attorney, that South Philadelphia has some fine timber. If Congressman W. S. Vare decides to enter the race there will be some interesting doings as all the influence of the Brumbaugh administration will be thrown in his favor and it is believed that some of the independents and so-called pro gressives who have been making a noise lately would be forced to go along. The congressman has been keeping quiet on mayoralty mat ters, hut has made speeches when called upon and has been to the front in many affairs. If he should win it would strengthen the Governor immensely in his battle for control of the next legislature. —Payette county Democrats are trying to get together on the slating of a county ticket before the primar ies. As in most counties the Demo crats of Fayette are split up the back and up the sides and the bosses are afraid that the primaries will result in intensifying the conditions. Hence, the effort to decide how to divide. —lt is expected that James Mapes Dodge, who has been active in suc cessful and unsuccessful independent political movements in Philadelphia for several years, will be in charge of the Committee of One Hundred's propaganda in the Philadelphia elec tion this Fall. —Simon Devlin, backed by ex- Congressman Robert E. Lee, has won out in the fight for the St. Clair post ofltee. —The Philadelphia Public Ledger of yesterday in a resume of the judi cial elections gravely announced that Chief Justice D. Newlin Fell would retire on January 1 and that a new chief justice of the Supreme Court would be chosen. Mr. Fell retired on January 1 and J. Hay Brown has since been acting as chief justice. —Joseph P. Rogers, one of the as sistant district attorneys of Philadel phia, is being mentioned as a possible candidate for judge this Fail. He is well known to many residents of this city and has been a frequent visitor to the Capitol. —Clay W. Evans, deputy revenue collector for Schuylkill county, who is well known to this county's people, has resigned. 1 EDITORIAL COMMENT ( Dernburg wants safe conduct on the high seas . . . for Dernburg New York Evening Sun.

Including, as they do, books that are the expression of a brilliant cynicism and others that are wrung from the bitterness of the soul's agony •—at tlinos mocking, at times serious— thev appeal irresistibly to all who are weary of the banalities no less than of the Insincerities of life. The tone and coloring of these books and their range from surface brilliancy to the abysmal depths of the spirit, reflect the strange, tragic, in not a few re spects abhorrent, but nevertheless fas cinating, vicissitudes of Wilde's career, with its attainments and its sordid descents. The range of form of Wilde's works (Including novel, play, essav. and poem, not to mention criticism), as sures their appeal to a variety of tastes. The Putnamg have in train for pub lication in the fall an edition of Wilde's works the several volumes of which will be sold separately. The set will consist of thirteen volumes bound in limp leather. v / HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH IN MEMORIAM 1 Our Daily Laugh NEEI)S SmPA- Mr*.

Do you know what it means, you boys and girls. Who hail from the North and the • South, Do you know what It means— This twining of greens Round the silent cannon's mouth? This strewing with flowers the grass grown grave, This decking with garlands the stat ues brave; This flaunting of flags, All tatters and rags; This marching and singing. These bells all a-ringing; These faces grave and these faces gay, This talk of the Blue and this talk of the Gray. In the North and the South, Decoration Day? Not simply a show-time, boys and girls, Is this day of falling flowers; Not a pageant, a play.

I A beauteous land by Heaven blessed, Of every charm and good possessed, Was in a moment called to war, Whilst darkness draped each shining star. When wailed a bleeding country's call Through mountain cot and stately hall, By patriotic impulse grand, Brave men arose o'er all our land. A very few remain to-day— Their step is slow, their heads are gray. Of millions, some are with the slain Of every bloody battle plain. In each God's acre of our land, From eastern coast to western strand. To-day, from scores of hallowed graves, The tiny flag of honor waves. Yes, strew their tombs with fairest flowers; Look what a goodly land is ours; Honor the men from sea to sea, Who made our States, home of the free. And make the solemn vow to-day, Over these mounds of heros' clay, "The Flag for which they fought and fell Shall ever to the breezes swell. "Unmarred by stain; symbol of right, Amid the bloody, gruesome night Of slaughter wild in other land, Earth's messenger of Hope it stands." — > Observance of Memorial Day [From the Philadelphia Bulletin.] Fifty years, with the passing of one generation and the coming of another, and the Influx of millions from other countries, naturally serve to lessen, In some degree, that appreciation' of Me morial Day which was born of personal contact with the events of the Civil War. But the dedication of this day to the honor of the patriotic dead of the na tion was for all time, so long as the nation was saved shall last, and neither I the thinning of tlie ranks that fought nor even the passing of the last of that number should be permitted to lessen in any degree the sense of obligation or, bettor, of privilege of setting apart one day in which to remember the men who offered their lives in battle and the principles of national life and duty for which they were ready to die. "Where are the dead?" asked Mytyl, in Maeterlinck's allegory, looking won deringly at the opening blooms where a moment before were the somber tombs. "There are no dead," said Tyl tyl. Old Granny Tyl and Gaffer Tyl woke from their long sleep and came bark Into companionship with those they left on earth, whenever Thought sounded the call of Memory. Not alone for the soldier dead, though those have their place of special honor, but for all the Day of Memories has become hal lowed, that the living may call back those who are gone, that the graves may be strenwn and blossom with flowers and those who have been laid there may come out and live again in thought and influencing contact. The value of this day and Its sacred function is beyond estimate. The his tory of the nation is a heritage. We live and build and prosper on what the I'ast has established for us. We rec ognize the value of the principles and institutions which have been given per manence and we shall gain a better MEMORIAL TO (iENERAI. GEORGE G. MEADE John W. Frazier, in the course of a communication, says that Comrade John B. Patrick, of Post 58. Harrlsburg, and himself succeeded in securing from the Legislature an appropriation of 150,000 for the erection of a memorial to General George G. Meade in the city of Washington, making a total of SBO,OOO for that purpose, and that credit Is particularly due to the patriotic and persistent help of Governor Brum baugh, Attorney-General Brown and James A. Dale, of York. With this money there ought to be such a me morial of Meade in the National Capital as will be distinctly worthy of his fame and of the signal part which he played In the preservation of the Union. The character of the statue and Its embell ishments have yet to be Anally deter mined. and Mr. Frazier writes that it should he "entirely free of allegory that no one understands and of the archaeol ogy of prehistoric periods, but that MAY 31, 1915. appreciation of them If we call back In memory the men who gave them life and strength, and on this one day, set apart from the others of the vear, do personal honor to the deal. The na tion, rendering due honor to its army— to the great majority gone and the remnant present—gaina Inspiration for a better and more de%ted patriotism by this miracle of Memory. The indi vidual. kin of some soldier patriot or not. can find profit as well in making this annual occasion his personal Day of Memories and resummoning those who have passed away. Partial transformation of the day front its original purpose is Inevitable -—the fate of all the holidays in some degree, regrettable as It is. But the perpetuation of the day and Its duties is a charge upon the people of the Lnited States that must never be neg lected. When the last of the solllers of .,^ h . e Clv " War s,lall have Sone, there 1 will be sons and daughters and grand sons and granddaughters to take up the service of decorating the soldiers 1 graves, and there will be those who will continue the formal exercises of the occasion. But the thought of the day is for all. and if Its appeal is to "2 permanent It must be in some manner that will reach every person. The "Five Minutes of Memory." now incorporated in Memorial Day procla mations by the Governors of many Commonwealths, Is a conception of such an objective. Fitting, appealing whether as patriotic or personal dutv It is proper and desirable that on eaoh Memorial Day—next Monday and In each succeeding year—as the stroke of the Angelus summons the faithful to prayer, the noonday bell shall be recog nlzed by every person as the call of Memory to five minutes' communion with those who, though dead, shall 11 vi again. rather it should present latter-dav Ideas—something of the American his tory with which the name of Meade was so closely identified from Gettys burg to Appomatox, and what has grown out of Gettysburg as the de cisive battle that has asured the peace and prosperity that have come to the American people."—"Penn," In Phila delphia Bulletin. nua INSPIRATION TO BETTfcR IJFE rKansas City Star.] An Atchison theologian advances the awful theory that there are prob ably a great many illes and dande lions in hades. « HEADLESS HUSBANDS [From the Philadelphia Inquirer 1 "The Ideal nusband Is never bald headed." says a woman. The ideal hus band has no head at all. n ' . Stoning (Eljat According to people who have been through the countryside in the last few days, one of the effects of the observance of Good Roads Day has been to stimulate discussion of the merits of portions of roads, and if this is correct as to rural districts gen erally It will result to the advantage of everyone. Tt is not far from dis cussion of ruts and bumps of a stretch of highway to starting movements for improvement and Governor Brum baugh's suggestion that the people should constitute themselves vigilance committees and bring to the attention of proper authorities unsatisfactory conditions will need little further sup port. In half a dozen Dauphin and Cumberland townships men who worked on the roads on Good Roads Day and some who did not have offered to unite with neighbors and friends In fixing some sections which could not be reached. In other words, they are not content to wait until next Kail or next Spring, but are anxious to get the roads bettered. In some parts of the two counties there is a very tangible movement under way to bring about betterment of roads which have been a hissing and a byword and It would not be surprising if the same situation prevailed in many other parts of the State and that purely local "good roads" observances would be noted from time to time during the Rummer. One of the things that in terests people in this section is that for miles around all roads lead to Har risburg. and for years the condition of Borne has not evoked favorable com ment. The increase of automobile traffic among the farmers and the development of the business of supply ing its needs at country stores, coupled with the willingness of the city people to help those in the country put the high ways into good shape, will prob ably lead to much work being done before snow flies. Speaking of Good Roads Day, it is a subject of much favorable remark the way the newspapers took up the sug gestion. From the very day that High way Commissioner Cunningham laid the matter before the Governor and an executive proclamation was issued there have been few newspapers in Pennsylvania that did not devote col umns to boosting the proposition. Some of the country weeklies literally gave yards to the suggestions sent out from the State Highway Department's offices and supplemented them by noting the plans of folks in their own neighbor hood. The automobile associations and the owners joined with various other organizations and got their shares duly noted. In fact, much of the success of the state-wide observance came from the splendid support and encourage ment from the rural press. The news papers in the cities gave much first page space, the valuable commodity, and strong editorial commendation anil the general movement in favor of bet ter highways in the press of Pennsyl vania was so great as to attract the attention of newspapers in other States. Apparently, Pennsylvania, while a little late in establishing a Good Koads Day. made the rest of tho country take notice, and but for rain would have made a record. • • • The last time the Brethren held their convention in this section was back In 1901.
