GENERAL WOOD'S FORESIGHT GENERAL WOOD'S foresight has been justified by recent events. Tears before we relinquished the world of dreams in which we lived for the world as it really Is, General Wood was urging preparedness against at tack and the creation of an adequate citizen soldiery. Peacefully inclined, content to play fairly with our neigh bors, anxious only for the internal development of the country and void of territorial ambitions, we saw the v-orld through rosy glasses and fondly UOagiped other people were as our selves—desiring only to live and to let pve. Bnt the keen, practical mind of Wood saw things differently. He 1 new there were powers abroad look ing with covetous eyes toward wealthy and helpless' Belgiums, and that we were the richest and the most helpless of them all. He knew also tnat sol diers are not made in a day ana so ne urged the creation of such camps ns that at Plattsburg. where young men and men of more mature years might learn the rudiments of military science. As General Dougherty recently said, the National Guard will be found ready in, any emergency to back up the regular army, and there would be less need of such encampments as that at Plattsburg if all were on some high plane as that ot Pennsylvania. But they are not. Take Kansas, for instance, where a forced march of one and one-half miles in a broiling sun put almost a whole regiment hors de combat. Everyone knows that a man must be trained for the science of medicine, the law, plumbing, car pentering, printing or any other trade, and the same is true of that of the soldier, the most exhausting and exact ing of all. Experience of Canada and England shows that at least six months are necessary to fit a man for the field. It requires more than a week for one to put his mind into condition tp ac cept the discipline of military life and his muscles in shape to carry his rifle and some thirty-eight pounds strapped across* his shoulders, and still have some fight left in him at the end of a hard day's march. We all know that General Wood is right and that we should have begun our training long ago. But better late than never and the nation is aroused at last. DAY OF THE SPECIALIST EVEN in warfare this is the day of the specialist. It is a remark able tribute to the virtue of "preparedness" of a kind not within the ordinary modern measure of the u>rm- —a sort of sublimated "prepared-' ness," as it were—the two great suc cesses of the war in Europe have been achieved by two men who de voted almost their entire lives to the study of conditions they fell certain their respective countries would be one day called upon to fate. Everybody knows of Von Hinden burg's victory over the Russians in ttie east. That campaign was won largely through Von Hindenburg's knowledge of the border 'akes. But few know that the Italian army possesses a general who has aone ror that nation what Hindenburg did for Germany. Count Luigi Cadorna is tiie man and he wore a military uniform ror fifty five y«ars before the decision of Italy to enter the great European war brought hipa forward to international fame as one of the great leaders In the struggle. The son of a man who had distinguished himself In military science, he also devoted his whole life to it, syid when it was decided that Italy would engage in the war on the side of the Entente Powers against the Teutonic Allies, Count Cadorna, then Chief of the General Staff of the Italian army, was not only the choice of the king and his advisers as the most able military genius, t>ut was also so acclaimed by the people. Born September 4, 1850, he was just under sixty-five years of age when Italy declared war on Austria In the summer af 1915, giving him the op portunity to apply many years of tactical study to actual warfare on a large scale, becoming within a lew i MONDAY EVENING, ? months the directing head of an army of 2.000,000 men. which he divided be tween service on the Austro-Itallan frontier and assistance to the English and French at the Dardanelles. One of the most remarkable points of Cadorna's career was the avidity with which throughout his lire he nad studied the territory along the north ern boundary, where the uperaUons against the Austrlans were to be ear ned out. General Cadorna wb» a man of prodigious memory, often startling the other members of his staff by the eare with which he could enumerate in precise detail the difficulties and natural advantages of the moat obscure routes, paths and passages, especially among the Alps. As one of many instances of his quick observation and exceptional memory the story is told or how, in the early days of the mobilization of the army in 1915, General Cadorna, while riding by a railway station in an automobile detected the fact that one of the ears of a-military train which he saw at the station loaced with munitions was being sent along a. wrong route. The mere numuer of the freight car had sufficed tor General Cardona to perceive the error—al though there were hundreds of trains moving at that time with munitions of war for all parts of Italy. America, always keen to profit by experience, might learn a lesson from these two men and train systematically along the lines that gave Germany ana Italy these two geniuses who owe their successes not to the national military administrations under which they served, but to their own individual foresight, initiative and passion for detail. MAKE THE STREETS SAFE CAPTAIN LUMB, of the State Po lice, put a bullet into the leg of a man on Saturday night jwho attacked a girl and refused to halt when Lumb attempted to pv.t him un der arrest. Captain Lumb is to be commended for the use of his weapon. Attacks of the kind that he interrupt ed are all too frequent. A few ex amples such as that set by the State constabulary officer would teach a very wholesome lesson. Men who-have no consideration for the persons of others are entitled to no consideration. The officer who shoots down the flee ing assailant of man or woman need have no fear of public censure. The streets and parks of the city must be made safe for all persons at any hour at all costs. "As It now appears, the big task con fronting the resolutions committee of the next Republican national conven tion w4U not be the framing of a dec laration on the tariff. The country will await with far more interest what is proposed in connection with our for eign relations." The foregoing is the opinion of the Democratic Cleveland Plain Dealer. But we fancy the Re publican national convention will have no difficulty in dealing with the ques tion. The Republican party is coming back into power. It will bring back with it a foreign policy such as was practiced by Seward, by Blaine, by John Hay and Elihu Root. That's all the platform need to say on the subject. The country will understand and en dorse a declaration like that. And so will the Plain Dealer, 'way down in the bottom of its heart. GOLD AND PROSPERITY WE used to hail the news of gold imports with joy, as indica tive of easy money and grow ing prosperity, and view with suspi cion and chagrin anything like a wholesale export to Europe of the pre cious metal. But the war has turned things topsy-turvy. The United States has to-day the greatest supply of gold in its history, greater than any other nation on earth, and probably greater than any other two nations. The amount of gold held in this country in the form of cash or .bullion is $2,006,- i 399,539. According to the latest reports, Eng land had about SBOO,OOO/000, which is all practically controlled by the gov ernment. The latest report from Ger many, which was In 1907, showed that country held $1,044,000,000 in gold. The supply in the United States for that year was only $1,612,000,000. The large increase in the stock of gold in the United States represents the losses of the precious metal to this country by the prihcipal nations in Europe on account of the huge bal ance of trade in our favor. Based on the returns for July, the United States is now accumulating gold at the rate of $12,000,000 a month. And yet who will say that the coun try is prosperous or that prosperity is increasing proportionately with the increase of gold, as we used to expect it to do? Theodore Douglas Robinson, once chairman of the Progressive State com mittee of New York, and also nephew of the Colonel, advised all Progres sives in York State to enroll with the Republicans this year upon the ground that the advanced principles which they espouse "can best be carried forward through the medium of the Republican party." This Is sound common sense. It nas already been put into practice by most Progressives and in • 1916 there should be no Republican division to again put a minority party in control of national affairs. NOTHING FOR THE CONSUMER NO sooner does the government order a reduction of hard coal rates sufficient to arouse the consumer to a hope of a? least slight reductions in the price of ruei than the miners, begin to figure on an ad vance of wages and shorter hours and the' operators prepare to tesist. There can be no doubt that the building of extensive storage tracks aong -the lines o?She anthracite carry ing railroads is a precaution taken against coal shortage during a possible [strike. The fact that thousands of dollars are being expended in the ex tension of sidings at a time when the railroads are carefully guarding their resources indicates how serious they regard the situation and gives rise to the thought that they must have had word from the heads of the coal min ing companies that any extensive de mands on the part of tne mine work ers would be refused. Again the consumer appears to bo between the upper and the nether millstones. | TELEGRAPHS PERISCOPE —They talk a lot about the new ways of making superior ice cream, but. hon est. now, does any of this modern stuff taste as good as that you used to churn on the back porch on the afternoon of a holiday? —The newspapers report the death of a small boy of Hazleton as a result of eating green apples.

AX UNPOPULAR LAW [Springfield Union.] If it be true that even the labor unions have come to regard the La Follette seaman's act as an injurious piece of legislation, there is very little lacking to establish the universal un popularity of that measure. As an at tempt to benefit a particular class by oppressing the community as a whole, this law is a conspicuous example of an unsound policy to whose bad results the public should be made more keenly alive. American seamen are not going to be benefitted by putting American ships out of business, nor is the lot of the general body of American workers to be Improved by a crusade for the breaking down' of American indus tries. The mischief of the seamen's law in respect to American shipping has pass ed the bounds of theory and entered the bounds of theory and entered the domain of facts. American steamship lines are going out of business because of the unjust and discriminatory pro visions embodied in this new law. There are other and broader bearings of the measure, the harmful effects of which are yet to be definitely determin ed from experience. Hut the fact that It constitutes an additional blow at the American merchant marine is in itself a pronounced factor in stamping this piece of legislation as unpopular.

Harrisburg (££§£& telegraph UK ""PeH.KOi{fc<KUua By the Ex-Oommltteeman Just as an Indication of the manner in which the Washington party is go ing to pieces in counties which the Bull Moosers used to claim as strong holds, the enrollment In Westmore land-Fayette counties may be cited. The terrific stump in Dauphin and eastern counties has been noted, but the western counties are eloquent. \ Westmoreland shows a total of 46,- 285 enrolled, divided as follows: Re publicans, 28,536; Democrats, 12.770; Socialists,2,93l; Prohibitionists,Boß,and Washington party, 3 31. The nonpar tisan enrollment Ib 1,909. Fayette's figures show that the Pro hibitionists are also ahead of the Washingtonlans in that county. The Fayette enrollment Is Republicans; 12,349; Democrats, 7.562; Socialists, 861; Prohibitionists, 507, and Wash ingtonians, 126. August 26 and August 31 are the first two registration days for the vot ers of Harrisburg and all third-class cities. September 11 is the final day. The Philadelphia mayoralty situa tion continues to arouse the interest of the State and it is hard to say what Congressman Vare will decide. The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day, says; "While no formal conferences were held by Republican leaders at Atlan tic City yesterday, there is reason to believe that private talks among po tential men In the party organization foreshadow the formulation of a pro gram of action regarding the mayor alty which will be revealed before the end of this week. Should Congress man William S. Vare conclude not to be a candidate, all indications pqint to the acceptance by the Vare following of former Postmaster Thomas B. Smith as a harmony candidate for mayor. There is no doubt that the Penrose-McNichol contingent would under such circumstances join in a movement to bring about his nomina tion. Until Congressman Vare shall declare his attitude, the issue of har mony or a factional contest at the pri maries must remain an open one. The most sensational move developed yes terday was an announcement by A. C. Keeley, president of the Kensington Board of Trade, who presided over the dinner recently given Congressman J. Hampton Moore. Mr. Keeley assumed to act as spokesman for the Moore champions and served notice upon Congressman Vare In these words: 'lf he persists in flaunting his person al ambitions at serious hazard of the success of the party, then v;*j accept the challenge and throw our hats into the ring.' " The Philadelphia Record to-day says: "Unless harmony is reached within the present week and a faction al contest is started, it Is reported that the Pcnnrose-McNichol element will start a tight against the election of Judge Raymond MacNeille for a 10- year term upon the municipal court bench. So far. MacNeille has been un opposed. but the names of Frederick Beyer, Isador Stern and John Rey nolds, who were floor leaders for the McNichol forces in the recent legis lature, have been mentioned as pros pective opponents of the Judge in the event of a fight." —Northampton's judicial contest is a hot one, and is wholly devoid of poli tics. Republicans and Democrats are lined up in support of each of the three who are seeking the nomination. The candidates are ex-Congressman J. Davis Brodhead, of South Bethle hem, a Democrat, who was appointed by Governor Tener to fill the vacancy on the bench when President Judge Scott died; William McKeen, of Eas ton, a Democrat, and William Fack enthal, of Easton, a Republican. All of the candidates stand high at the bar. —Senator Boies Penrose was the guest of nonor at the big Kratz family reunion at Doylestown on Sat urday. The senator reviewed the his tory of this family in the eastern coun ties, which begins with 1727 and said in part. "The family is the unit of our social and political system. The home is our best social and religious ideal. The elevation of family life and the integrity of the home is rooted deep in the hearts of our people. In this strenuous age, we are apt to forget the hardships the pioneers had to en dure and the heroism they displayed." —Petitions were placed in circula tion in Philadelphia In favor of Joseph Fabian, member of the reorganized Democratic faction for the minority place as city commissioner. Senator Richard V. Farley probably will be the regular Democratic nominee. —Notices were sent out in Phila delphia to Prohibitionists calling for a mass meeting Tuesday night in the Parkway Building in order to secure the presence of electors to sign nomi tlon papers. The signatures of 100 voters are required. —Senator Horace W. Schantz, Le high's Republican chairman, has ar ranged a strong program of speakers for the Republican county meeting at Levan's, on Saturday, August 28.

Swanbaik, the oldest Odd Fellow in America, who lives at the ase of 100 at Greenwood, Neb., was a boy hood friend of Bismarck. His grand father lived to be 117. Following are his rules for living to be 100: "Go to bed early and get up early. "Never sleep in a heated room. "Keep fresh air in the sleeping room. "Sleep out of doors in summer— winter, too, if it can be arranged. "Drink plenty of fresh water. "Use very little red liquor. "As old age comes on take, each morning, a small wineglass or one third glycerine and two-thirds good whisky. "Smoke as often as you please, but do not Inhale the smoke or blow it out through the nostrils. "If you are unfortunate enough to lost your wife get another. It is not good for man or woman to live alone. "Don't worry over anything. Worry kills more people than disease. "Keep an even temper at all times. Be cheerful at all times. "Keep the feet dry and the head clear. "Never eat meat. A little chicken will not harm one, but must not be eaten too often. "Eat plenty of fresh fish. "Do not drink coffee. "Keep away from sweet stuff. It ruins the stomach and kidneys. "Take plenty of outdoor exercise. Walk a great deal. "Follow these rules, and any normal man. barring accidents, can live to be one hundred."

It was necessary to place a look-out for that purpose. I Emergency Hbspital Methods By Frederic J. Haskin — - * DEATHS and permanent disabili ties resulting from accidental in juries have been lowered 40 per cent, in every large city within the last twenty-five years. This grati fying accomplishment is due chiefly to the increase of emergency hospital fa cilities. The emergency hospital and dispen sary places the best surgical and medi cal skill and the most Improved scien tific apparatus within Immediate reach of every person who lives near such an institution. The lives of thousands of people are annually saved by the emer gency system, while hundreds of thous ands who might otherwise be hopeless cripples are restored to full health and vigor. The emergency hospital now complet ing its equipment In Washington, D. C., typifies the latest and best ideals of an institution designed primarily for emergency work. Accidents, attempted suicides, sun or heat prostrations, acute attacks of temporary illness, and drunkenness, are the disabilities most frequently regarded as emergencies. Prolonged illness, chronic diseases and obstetrics are not regarded as emer gency work. Under ordinary conditions such patients are turned over to oth er intltutlons in order that the beds of the emergency hospital may be kept available for the class of cases com ing within its specialty. A small emergency hospital now Is considered a necessity in most big manufacturing establishments, as well as In connection with mines and other large industrial plants. Department stores have felt it Incumbent upon them for years to make this provision for the welfare of their employes and cus tomers. The city feels compelled to provide emergency hospital service for all of its people as a part of Its public safety measures. While most general hospitals do a large amount of emer gency work, the added efficiency af forded by an Institution designed par ticularly to give this class of relief, has been recognized as of economic advant age. Many Clausen of Intnrlcs The injuries treated include every class. They range in importance from the most trifling to those endangering life. Often they require a battle with fleath not likely to be encountored else where by physician or nurs*. A small boy may slightlv burn his hand with a toy pistol, while his mother may receive fatal burns from attempt ing to refill her gasoline stove which she has not turned out. A women may cut her little finger while preparing a meal, or her husband may almost sever his jugular vein as he is shaving. A boiler may burst in an englneroom, scalding some and injuring others by the scrap iron resultant from the ex plosion. A woman may swallow a bi chloride tablet by mistake or her baby may get hold of a rat biscuit. Two men may get into a street tight and one of them receive a brokan skull. A drunken man may be found in a gutter or reeling upon the street, or a man or woman may go suddenlv Insane. Those are examples of the conditions relieved dally in emergency hospitals. The service Is always prompt, effi cient and painstaking no matter how lowly the patient may be. No one suf fers from lack of service because he Is unable to pay for it. In a sense the emergency hospital must be even more an eleemosynary institution than other hospitals because It has no choice of patients. It must treat all alike. Most of the expense is paid from public funds. It usually, is allied closely with the public charities. It is also in di rect touch with the police department which frequently has one or more of ficers assigned to duty at the institu tion. When any unusual eve-it brings an extraordinary crowd of people together, the emergency hospital service Is call ed Into action. Provision Is- made to give instant care to any who may re quire It. Frequently stations under the direction of hospital physicians and nurses are established near the Scene of action In order that prompt service may be offered. Provision* Fop Emergencies , A } ~ th ,? Harvard-Yale football game last Fall, when the largest crowd ever assembled In the United States to wit ness an athletic event was gathered, a special provision was made by the' New Haven City Hospital to insure the safety of the 70,000 spectators of the contest played In the Yale "Bowl." Be fore the game began, a Harvard stu dent, suffering from ptomaine poison ing, was rushed to the hospital and by evening was ready to hear the returns of the game. A man being run down at the station occasioned another urgent call. Several women fainted from ex citement. The service proved such a boon that no big game ever will be played again In New England without emergency hospital provision. In 'Washington, at the time of presi dential Inaugurations, emergency hos pital work is an Important feature of the safety provisions made bv the In augural Committee for the thousands of visitors. Hospital tents are erected at the most Important points and a corps of trained nurses and physicians are ready to administer first aid treat ment to anyone in need. Emergency hospital service is not confined by any means to the big build ings under that name in which many of the most efficient doctors and nurses have had and are receiving their training. Hospital cars, motors and tents, such as are now sheltering the Red Cross activities In the war zone, represent the highest type of emer fiency work because of the new prob ems to be solved upon each battle field. French Motor Hospital The French motor hospital is an AUGUST 16, 1915. emergency equipment which is saving thousands of lives.

They'll talk about them, but the score Will never mentioned be. J lEtomtttg Glljat Public Service Commisßloner W. D. B. Ainey, who was formerly congress man from the Susquehanna district, told me a day or so ago how the lato Congressman Marlln E. Olmsted had given him a suggestion as to a com mittee asignment which he always re membered with gratitude to the dis tinguished Harrisburger. Mr. Ainey said that, being a lawyer, he had an|P idea of becoming a member of a Judiciary committee, although he had a taste for foreign affairs, in which he Became interested early and which led him to go around the world. The com missioner related that shortly before the assignments were made up he waa discussing the matter with Mr. Olm sted, who was one of the big men In the House, and Mr. Olmsted advised him thart he take a place as a member of the foreign affairs committee. H« said that he thought he would find it far more congenial than serving on the Judiciary committee. "I followed his advice and I never regretted it said Mr. Ainey. "In fact, it got into touch with work in which I had long taken an interest and enabled me to pursue studies and to make ac quaintance of diplomats of the world that have given me delight. It was the result of that suggestion that I went three times to Europe and around the world, spending much time In Japan." ** • * A fine example of the way in which some of the foreigners invest their savings and the manner in which your Uncle Samuel is assisting them to have their money always within reach was furnished at the post office on Sat urday afternoon. A foreigner, appar ently an Austrian, and his frau went to the money order window and the man bought an order for six or seven dol ls rs. When he got the blue slip he I handed it to the woman, who read it ' over with him. Then, bending down, the woman went into what has been apty termed "the first national bank" aijd took out a roil of similar blue slips. It was not quite as big as your fist, but it must have represented a couple of hundred dollars, maybe more. After placing the latest sav ing with the rest and snapping a rub ber band about the bale she put the roll back into her stocking and the pair headed for a Steelton car. The stringed orchestra composed of men of undoubted Teutonic strain which is doing duty for a German band about the city just now gave an illustration not only of Wilsonian neu trality the other evening but of down right humor. As a rule curbstone music making is more or less of a sol emn business and not always re munerative. On this evening this par ticular orchestra lined up in front of one of the beer dispensaries in the Third ward and began to play. It played some high-brow melody and swung into "Down on the Farm" or some other air that suggested loneli ness or thirst. About the time it was getting to the real plaintive part there appeared to be a discord, a livelier, rather belligerent air being superim posed. as it were, on the milder sounds of the orchestra. The man with the big viol caught it and "zubzubbed" harder and the flute man blew a false note. The people in the street noticed it. too, and began to laugh, for it was "Tipperary," and "Tipperary" being played by an Italian ally on a hurdy gurdy with a strong and vigorous turn ing of the crank. The orchestra let the battling air have the call. They stoorl silent while the man at the orga# ground out about the sweetest girl and you could almost imagine soldiers swinging along. And then the Ger man leader took revenge. He gave the time and the orchestra played "Tlppe rary too. And it played it in a way that made the sound from the organ, whose grinder had stopped to let the rival concern do Its stunt, sound like a 1 a. m. chorus from the "Old Oaken Bucket." The Germans played "Tippe rary" to the bitter end and so well that they got a round of applause and a handful of nickels. • • • "This damp weather Is causing me the loss of a lot of envelopes and annoyance with stamps," said one of the city's businessmen in a bank this morning. "I have found envelope after envelope fastened because of the mois ture in the air and I have mv clerks use the greatest care in handling stamps. The weather is getting Into things, especially affecting everything that has mucilage." ♦ • • Colonel F. M.
