J SITUATION IS SERIOUS NEVER has the country faced a break in diplomatic relations so calmly and with so little display of feeling as it is now facing a very probable interruption of friendly re lations with Germany. There are two reasons for this. In the first place, we have been to the brink so many times In the past few months, only to be drawn back before making the plunge, that it is probable many people be lieve the President's ultimatum will he followed, as in the past, by more notes and more negotiations. Again, the people generally recognize that Germany is In no position to attempt an Invasion of this country and that the navy rather than the army would have to shoulder the bulk of the re sponsibilities of war, should the pres ent Issue go that far. In the latter conclusion, they are correct, but In the former it is difficult to understand how anybody can expect the President to resume negotiations. He has said what amounts to the final word unless Germany backs down completely, Which is not likely. The situation is very serious. We are upon the very verge of war. AUDITING AUDITED BOOKS f/""MTY COUNCIL has let a contract in the sum of more than $2,900 for the auditing of the city treas urer's books during the term of Owen H. Copelin, despite the fact that these accounts have been audited and passed upon as correct by the regu larly constituted auditing authorities. Nobody during Mr. Copelin's term of office even hinted that there might be anything wrong with his books, but if It is necessary to go through them at a price that could be well utilized in petting up the statuary, the work should be done without delay. The people are entitled to know what the auditors find and the sooner they know the better. If there is any good reason for the investigation, very well, but if not, then the audit will be gen erally regarded as a pretty costly bit of councilmanic amusement. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RIGHTS THERE are individual and com munity rights which must be respected in order that the best Interests of the city shall be conserved. It will be noted as one walks about Harrisburg that there is more or less disregard of the things which directly concern the community as a whole. For instance, a flagrant illustration is the misuse of the paved streets by the river coal interests between Verbeke and Boas streets. Here the fine coal sifts through the carts and for squares the thoroughfares which have lust been swept at the expense of the city are littered with grimy black dust as the small grains of coal are ground to powder by passing traffic. Inasmuch as there has been a con listent effort for several years to keep the streets of Harrisburg clean at public expense It would seem to be the duty of officials to see to it that the littering of streets with ashes from collection carts and coal from the river should cease under some itringent regulation and penalty. It will also be noted that a con siderable portion of the river wall and steps between the pumping station and Hardscrabble Is now being utilized as a public wharf by these same coal Interests which appear to regard the river front as their own special and particular preserve, to do with it as they see fit. If these inter ests; have no proper appreciation of the rights of the community In the premises and are indifferent to public protest as It has been voiced from time to time, then the Department of Parks and the Department of Public Works co-operating should establish strlrt rules to prevent this sort of violation of the rights of the public. Admitting that the recent high water has placed these interests at some dis advantage, they should realize that the concrete .steps along the river front is public property and must not damaged without proper indemnity. AVe realize that there are a certain FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 21, 1016. few people In Harrisburg who still believe that the river front was created for their own particular uses and that it is a serious invasion of their rights that the dumping of garbage and old barrels and boxes and household refuse has been prohibited. But unless and until the proper offi cials of the city establish a strict patrol system along the river and throughout the parks the outrageous vandalism and destruction of property will go on. As to the sifting coal dirt from the disjointed carts that are utilized In hauling the fuel from the landing at Verbeke and Boas streets, these vehicles should be so lined as to make them, at least, coal tight. Much of this destruction of city property is the result of ignorance, i but much more of Indifference and J 1 positive resentment. But this is a | community of 70,000 people and the ' few who are responsible for these violations of the public lights must not be permitted to continue un hindered in their course. Some fine day it will be necessary for the city at great expense to repave the damaged I concrete steps and then it will be hard \ to explain why such damage was permitted. BOOSTING YOUR CITY ONE of those Harrisburg livewlres who never falls to note and profit by everything that he sees else where has sent the Telegraph an edition of the Jacksonville Times- Union, which devotes a page to the "Greater Jacksonville" movement of the Chamber of Commerce in that city. The body is doing for Jacksonville what the Chamber of Commerce of Harrisburg is doing for our own com munity and here is one of Its appeals which might easily be adopted for home consumption: You are proud of Jacksonville. You like to bear strangers say that it is one of the most progressive and prosperous cities in the coun try. You have reason to be proud. Jacksonville is strong—financially, intellectually, morally and In every other way. Our city has ail the elements of potential power. It has wanted merely the knack of fusing those ! elements into an effective unit. We do not lack the power; we only j lark organization of it. The public-spirited business and professional men of Jacksonville, working together, can do practi cally anything they set out to do for Jacksonville. Now let's get to gether. every public-spirited citi zen. Do it. Do not talk about it, or debate how or who. Let's get together on the things which all of us want—our unani mous desire for more factories, more home patronage for our stores, for agricultural develop ment. for port development ana greater use of the St. John's river, | ami all those other things which ' will make Jacksonville a better city j in which to live and do business. Here's the Chamber of Commerce. Make it yours. Be one of the body of citizens standing shoulder to shoulder in an organization which shall he your Instrument for the advancement of our civic welfare. The Chamber of Commerce offers Itself for the expression of your civic ideals, the effective applies- • tion of your civic efforts. Do you join hands with us on I that platform? v. Do not wait for a committee to call and urge you to join. Offer your membership and your service. Let your action be thoughtful, broad-minded, hearty, ambitious. Harrisburg Is a city somewhat I similar to Jacksonville, save that the! Florida city Is a port and has two or three fine hotels. Otherwise It has' "nothing on" Harrisburg. But our j own people must not rest upon their 1 oars. We have had a splendid i development during the last fifteen years and our great progress has been due to the co-operation of the entire community. Now Is the time to line up in every quarter of the city j for the work of the summer. There j must be no falling back in any direc- ! tlon. As in Jacksonville, the Cham- 1 ber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, the Civic Club and all other organ izations should combine their efforts with a view to accomplishing the best results in the making of a city that will stand as a light upon a hill for other municipalities. THE "PIJATTSBURG CAMP" BEAT Plattsburg," is a new slogan that is spreading through the West, where it is said that a campaign is being waged to recruit more men for the western camps at Salt Lake, Seattle, San Diego and Mon terey than can be assembled at the Plattsburg camps. They will have to work at high pressure from now on if this is to be accomplished. Inasmuch as the "Plattsburg Idea" is spreading throughout the East more so than ever before, and 3,600 have actually en rolled for the New York camps this year. Each man attending the camp pays an average of SCS or S7O for uniforms, transportation and food, but it has been found that with a little care the "rookie" can get along for a consid erably smaller amount, depending, of j course, upon the travel necessary to reach the camp site. Plattsburg is located on the shore , of Lake Champlain, the drill plain be i ing separated from the lake only by j the railroad. A wonderful country, with beautiful surroundings, is the site which was wisely selected for the location of this popular camp. The advantages of a month in the open are ob'vious, with the resultant hard j ening of flabby muscles and Increased color in cheekS whiteneTl by a winter's I work in the office, with good whole 'some food and plenty of It. The sum- I mer resort fades off into dim noth ingness in comparison for the vlgor i ous young man. A number of Harrisburg business men will enroll for the August camp this summer. It is entirely a matter | of individual decision and there Is no concerted action with a view to cam j paignlng for recruits, but a spontan eous desire to try out the government's method of getting around compulsory military training has led a number to signify their intention to merge their individualities Into the "school of the soldier" and be boys again under the open sky by day and night. This newspaper will be glad to an swer any questions that prospective applicants may ask In the matter of details of the camp, which will this year be in charge of Captain Halstead Dorey, officer-in-charge. Eastern De "partment, Governor's Island, N. Y.

The rehabilitation fac- J*on. which is an amalgamation of the Old Guard, the inen who did not get recommended for federal positions and those who have grievances against the men who have led the party the last r?. U iT ° l>ene d its headquarters in Philadelphia last night and tartly an swered the diatribe of National Com mitteeman A. Mitchell Palmer against Congressman Michael Liebel. Jr., of Erie, who is contesting the committee nianshlp with him. The reorganization taction is lining up behind Palmer and his pals and the battle will b'o waged up and down the State for the next three weeks with a ginger that will make it worth while observing. The funny thing about this light be tween the rehabilitators and reorgan izes is that each side is vociferously that it represents Woodrow \\ uson and that the other side is not sincere. Palmer has a personal grudge against Liebel because' he ventured to dispute his leadership and Is asserting that Liebel is a foe of the President, while the rehabilitators charge that Palmer is more or less inclined to be miffed at the President and not to be his rock bottom friend.' Some of the Democrats are inclined to ask Palmer and his pals where they stand in regard to William Jennings liryan, former Secretary of State, who is out on a campaign of obstruction in the hope of tishing up something from the troubled waters. Latest returns from Nebraska are that Bryan was de feated for delegate and that his brother was hit by something like an a\alanche of adverse votes. A few years ago Bryan was a high card for the reorganizers and spared no pains to make himself unpleasant to the Old Guardsmen. They are now Inclined to ask their rivals whether Mr. Bryan is considered as real any longer. Notwithstanding the conference held yesterday between Mayor Smith and Senator McNichol there are no more prospects of peace in the Republican party over the State ticket and na tional delegates than AVednesday night. The signs are all the other way. The Penrose forces are lining up for a con test which they plan shall be thorough and the Vare-Brumbaugh forces are declared by Attorney General Brown, the Held marshal, to be ready for the fray. Mayor Smith declined to discuss the McNichol visit, but the senator Kas more talkative. This is the way the Philadelphia Record prints the story: " 'Has any agreement been reached betweeh you and the Mayor?' Senator McNichol was asked last night. " 'No. nothing final or definite,' was his reply. " 'ls it true, as reported,' the Sen ator was asked, 'that you were au thorized to make a proposition for the withdrawal of State Senator Snyder from the Auditor General face in the Interest of a general harmony deal?' " " 'That Is absolutely untrue,' he de clared. 'Senator Penrose has taken a pronounced stand on that issue. He will unquestionably not interfere in any way with his friends who are sup porting Senator Snyder, and that issue must be decided by the Republican voters at the primaries.' "In reply to the query whether or not there was hope of harmony, Sen ator McNichol said he always had hope and would not cease to work for harmony until the end. -Mayor Smith declined last night to talk about the conference, beyond admitting that it had taken place without tangible re sult." —Congressman John R. K. Seott, whose congressional place is threat ened by the Penrose people, plans to accompany the Governor on his tour. Scott is chiefly notable for bitter speeches and this means that the ad ministration forces will not mince words. The scholarly end of the speech making will be in the hands of Deputy Attorney General Emerson Collins. —Out In Pittsburgh the newspapers take the Fleitz statement of yester day as indicating something In the campaign and comment upon the activity shown to keep the Governor in the campaign by the very men who tried hardest to defeat him in 1914. —Senator Penrose is to make a campaign keynote speech in Pitts burgh Thursday night. This will be followed by speeches in other parts of the State. —Penrose men say that there are er.cugh members of the State com mittee in sight now to make his elec tion as national committeeman a cinch. —The Vare forces lost a skirmish In Philadelphia council yesterday and the morning newspapers comment upon it. —The attack on Mayor Smith's bonding activities in Philadelphia seems to be engineered mostly by Democrats. —Calvin Greene, of Lewistown, has withdrawn his declaration on his peti tion for Republican national delegate. He Is a candidate for delegate and very much in the fight unpledged. • —The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day sums up the situation in the Re publican camp as follows: "All hope for harmony at the coming Republi can primaries was dispelled yesterday following another conference at the Mayor's office. Penrose lieutenants not only ridiculed the stories emanating from the Vare camp that Charles A. Snyder would withdraw as a candi date for Auditor General, but confi dently predicted his nomination. Senator Penrose, it was announced last night, is to enter the arena early next week and make a number of speeches advocating the election of an uninstructed delegation to the Re publican National Convention." —Attorney General Brown, who went t"> Philadelphia last evening, ap pears to be quite belligerent. He de clared that talk of the Governor withdrawing was nonsense and said that the Governor would start out on a tour of the State next week. The Governor's office yesterday said that the Governor would go to Boston and Altoona and announced that he would visit the mountain top county. The Philadelphia North American, which is close to the Vares and the Attorney General at present, says that the Governor is going out on the stump and will cover practically every county. The plans, which are credited to the Attorney General, certainly do not sound like those made for a sick man. The campaign, said Mr. Brown, will open cither in Blair or Hunting don county. The party will swing west toward Pittsburgh, northward toward the Erie-Crawford district and then start east through the northern tier counties. After talking In the coal regions in the northeast, the party will proceed south through the principal river counties and then back toward Harrisburg. Tff£ trip prob ably will be made mostly by auto mobile. In Plain Language [From the Scranton Republican.] When the movie censors.

The Tragedy of Calvary Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them, but they cried, "Crucify him! crucify him!" And he said unto them the third time. Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death In him; I will therefore chastise him and let him go. , And they were Instant with loud voices, requiring that He might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that It should be as they required. And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast Into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenlan, com ing out of the country, and on hirrt they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. • • • And It was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent In the midst. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said. Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit; and hav ing said thus, he gave up the ghost. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly, this was a righteous man. And all the people that came to gether to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts and returned. And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a Just: (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them:) he was of Arimathaea. a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took It down, and wrapped It in linen, and laid It in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day, according to the com mandment. —Luke 23. DIXIE GOES AHE A D Old and New Plantation Days By Frederic J. Haskin THE South is going back to Its plantations. T.ands that, have lain fallow for a generation ore being tilled again and long deserted mansions repaired and open ed, sometimes as permanent homes, oftener as country places and shooting lodges. Wide fireplaces blaze again on autumn evenings; halls that have been silent for fifty years are filled with music and voices; swamps and pine forests echo the horns of hunt ing parties and the trumpeting bay of hounds. There is something peculiarly ap pealing about the rehabilitation of these old mansions, some of which have stood through the whole Ameri can story since colonial days, and have sheltered the soldiers of three Ameri can wars. After Lee's surrender, a variety of conditions forced the Southerners to leave their plantations in the coastal plains. The rice industrj could not stand the competition from the West. Sea Island cotton, which had long ruled the market, dropped in price. There was no money in the South to begin agriculture on new lines. The people left their lands and crowded to the cities. Now they have found prosperity again, and they are going back. The movement is not primarily a sentimental one, by any means. A few THE STATE FROM D/Y TO DA/ Whether old "Bill" Shakespeare died on the same day he was born (com monly termed an Irish bull) and whether or not Frankie Bacon did some of his work for him makes little difference except to those perennial talkers who argue for love of It; never theless the fact remains that if it weren't for the famous Bard of Avon a lot of us would have been compelled to take a lot of uninteresting Eng lish courses when we were at school.

May 1 and May 15 are both good dates, but it Is a brave man who will attend a baseball game with an out of-season lid that is bound to prove easy pickings for the nearest mischief maker. The Warren Mirror tells of an ec centric man who died and had the largest funeral that had ever been held in the neighborhood; a cere mony at which strong men broke down and wept like children. In his life the man had made It a rule, when telephoning, never to say fiercely over the wires. "Whiz ziss?" Instead he invariably said, "This is John J. Pop pendicke, wishing to speak to Mr. Buckover." A distinguished looking stranger in Johnstown, reports the Tribune, intro duced himself about court as former chief of police of Wllllamsport. He also presented himself to the city en gineer as the former official of like nature in Williamsport. He was ar rested and locked up on a charge qj drunkenness when the authorities came to their senses. Wayne schoolgirls have organized "The Girls' Audubon Society" of the Radnor school for the purpose of studying the bird family. Our little feathered friends have been receiving much deserved attention of late. There will be plenty of dyes and plenty of eggs to use them on, is the report that comes from Pittsburgh, to the delight of thousands of young ones to whom eggs at Easter are as important as a tree at Christmas. THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM The fear of the Lord is the begin ning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his command ments; his praise endureth forever. — Psalm 111:10. weeks ago three brothers here bought back ten thousand acres, which had belonged to their family before the war. They are going in for scientific agriculture. Companies have been formed to reclaim the rice fields. There are two experts from the na tional Department of Agriculture in town now to advise some Charleston men on such a project. They believe that by strengthening the old dykes and using steam pumps, these rich alluvial lands can be placed under cul tivation again. Other lands are being divided into small tracts and colon ized. •Most unique is the utilization of these old plantations as hunting pre serves. Nearly nil of them contain great areas of swamp and woodland and these are alive with game. Deer, wild turkey, foxes, wild fowl and part ridges are abundant within a few miles of Charleston. There Is prob ably not another city of its size in the United States that commands finer hunting. Now those estates which combine excellent game covers with comfortable mansions are being pur chased by clubs. The old homes make excellent hunting lodges.
