SUSQUEHANNA'S GRANT)EC K MORE and more the people of Pennsylvania are having their eyes opened to the picturesque grandeur of their own State. It was customary until recent years to talk in eloquent terms of the wonderful New England hills and valleys, the mar velous beauty of the Adirondacks and Catskills, the unsurpassed scenery of the Hudson and the other famous places of Interest throughout the United States, but the coming of the automobile and the opening up of the highways of this imperial Common- 1 wealth have brought about a change in the dreams of those who appreciate the beauties of nature. Now the Juniata Valley and the Susquehanna' Valley and the many other wonderful places in this State are having rhe attention to which they have been sntitled all these years, but which was denied them because the tourist was j Beeking his pleasure elsewhere. In an interesting little volume which has just come to the Telegraph with the compliments of its writer, the Rev. Dr. H. C. Pardoe, there is contained an appreciation of the scenery and the historical and legendary lore of the ! Susquehanna Valley. This volume is % compilation of summer letters from the Chesapeake Bay to Otsego Lake and is of special interest at this time ■ In view of the study of the Susque hanna region by some eminent his- j torians, who are about to make a canoe trip from the head waters of the river j to its outlet in the Chesapeake Bay. We of Harrisburg know somewhat of the impressive scenery of the Sus quehanna basin right at our doors. Many of us have toured the banks of the river north and south of this city, but comparatively few of our own people realize the romance of the river from the early days until the present time. Because the Susquehanna basin, which is now becoming so popular with Harrlsburgers.lsbuta small part of this great river, we can understand the en thusiasm of such men as George Gray Barnard, Warren H. Manning and the many other distinguished persons who have made a study of the stream in this vicinity. There is nothing finer than the stretch of river and moun tains between Harrisburg and the Dauphin Narrows. All that we need is a great summer hotel situated some where on the mountains north of the city and overlooking the river to make of this section a far more attractive resort than the Delaware Water Gap. the Pocono Mountains or any other of the famous places in Pennsylvania. WLCTED PATRIOTISM WITHIN a few days a New York writer has called attention to the potential value of the in terned German ships in this country. He believes that with the termination of the war the German merchant fleet will be required as never before to re establish the demoralized commercial interests of the Kaiser's empire. Nor Is this writer the only one who sug gests the danger to American trade of a sudden dumping on our shores of the cheaply manufactured products of Europe. It is the judgment of men in position to form accurate conclusions that these interned ships, having a value of many millions of dollars, have been the restraining factor In Ger many's modification of her submarine activities. Immediately upon the conclusion of the war everything that will float will be utilized to restore the trade of the belligerents with the United States and then will come the tug of war between commercial giants in their effort to obtain the cream of the richest nation in the world. These are the reasons given by statesmen and patriots in their propa ganda for military and naval pre paredness. Unless and until this coun try is ready to protect its vital in tereets we shall constantly be menaced by the powerful nations on the other side of the ocean. Meanwhile Congress is frittering away valuable time in an effort to de ceive the people with a pretense of preparedness. Fortunately for the United States, there are enough pa triotic men In all parties to force the Senate and the House at Washington to provide an adequate navy and an TUESDAY EVENING, army strong enough to protect the interests of this country in any and every direction. THE FATHERLAND'S ATTACK THE sinister influence of The Fatherland, the organ of the Imperial German government in the United States, is displayed by its comment on the recent preparedness parade in New York city, in which 140,000 patriotic Americans marched. The Fatherland, which has been fighting German battles of public opinion under the banner of the Stars and Stripes, protesting the while its true Americanism, violently attacks the preparedness demonstration and terms those who chose to march therein the puppets of one of the big New York financial houses which has been instrumental in supplying the allies with munitions. The Father land has been the foremost exponent of German militarism —"prepared- ness," if you please—in the United States and its Insincerity is shown when it berates Americans for the very things which it holds as virtues in the German nation. Many Americans, with due consid- I eration for the feelings of patriotism in the German bosom, have been loath to believe all the charges that have been made against The Fatherland, but no better proof is needed that the i journal is pro-German to the extent of ; being anti-American than this latest ! outburst of wrath against Americans ] who desire nothing but to be put tn po i sltlon to defend themselves against any nation that may have designs on them —Germany included. If The Father land keeps on. even conservative people may begin to believe some of the lurid stories of German plans against the peace of the United States that Eng lish sympathizers have been feeding: us. THE EASY JOB THE advent of the commencement season recalls the story of the college student responding to the inquiry of a professor who asked his boys what they planned to do for a living, by writing this: "I am going home to take a good easy job that father has cut out for me." The father who "cuts out" an "easy job" for his son does the lad an in jury. The "easy job" is the front door to ruin. It stifles the intellect and stunts initiative. The man with the "easy job" has time on his hands, and "Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do." The "easy job" breeds easy habits and easy morals and an easy conscience. The "easy job." however, is rare, and It is well that it is so, for fathers are prone to smooth wherever possible the paths their sons must go and the position that pays well and requires small effort is a iding temptation when it is open. Work is the hope of the world, and! the clean-minded, energetic young man is the instrument by which the I best that civilization has in prospect j is to be realized. Don't look for an "easy Job," you j boys who have won your sheepskin by hard work. The world is even a hard er taskmaster than the school or the college and the big rewards are for those who work hardest and best. GERMANY IN SERVIA PRESS dispatches from Nish, if they are not colored by press agents of the Kaiser, Indicate that while the occupation of Servia by the Germans was a very bitter pill for the people of that country, like ! some other disagreeable forms of medicine it may have a good effect. , Thousands of Servians who fled upon the advance of the Central armies are reported to be returning, amazed at the changes wrought by the invaders, j A year ago Servia was in the 1 clutches of a terrible epidemic of typhus, typhoid fever and other dis- ( eases. These, it is asserted, have been completely wiped out. The occupa tion troops compel the population to obey the sanitary rules established by the military authorities, with the re sult that Servian villages have never been so clean. The mud of decades has been carted away, and the streets j have been covered with gravel and: crushed rock. Sanitation in the home is effected through thorough inspec tion. Civil government already has been established in the Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian spheres In Servia and the Bulgarian territory in Macedonia, J but the districts held by the Germans are still under military rule, because it Is said, no permanent occupation of the territory is contemplated. Railway traffic and postal service are in the hands of the military authorities, but the Servian population is permitted to use them. Schools and churches have been reopened In many parts of the! country. Havana and Manila had little love for the Americans who came to make them clean up, and while the cases are by no means similar, the occupation of Servian cities, notorious for their filth and disease, by the Germans in the end may be as beneficial as was the occupation of the Cuban and Philip- ! pine towns by Americans. W HERE THE CREDIT IS DUE TREASURY DEPARTMENT offi cials estimate that the United States government receipts In the current fiscal year ending June 30 will be from $90,000,000 to $100,000.- 000 more than estimated when Con gress convened. Lest our Democratic friends grow boastful of this condi tion of the treasury it may as well be pointed out In advance that they are In nowise responsible for the big in crease in revenues, except for the fact that they caused to be enacted the ob noxious so-called "war tax" measures. Back of this large increase in receipts, aside from the money raised by the "war tax," is the general prosperity of the country due to the immense war or ders placed here by Europe. That the Democrats can claim no credit for the excellent showing of the treasury is amply proved by their frank admis sion of surprise over the figures as announced. | TELEGRAPH PERISCOPE~ —Those who sigh "for the good old days" are careful not to go back quite as far as the time when dinosaurs and other monsters of the kind roamed the ! earth. , —Now that "Clean-up" week Is over, ! keep right on cleaning up. —A cheap substitute for gasoline has ; been Invented again.

EDITORIAL COMMENT A former ofltcer of the Swiss army, ; speaking before the Academy of I Political Science in New York, de j clared that Switzerland's prepared ness on the outbreak of the war in ] Europe was the only thing that pre served the country's Integrity. It seems Impossible to make the Swiss understand that helplessness Is trie best guarantee of "peace.— Kansas City Times. What We should See [From the New York Sun.] President Wilson remarks that the world Is seeing red. All the more rea son why Americans should see nothing but Red. White and Blue. Interesting Contest {From the Chicago News.] Indiana, the mother of Vice-Presi dents, has ail interesting contest for fa vorite sohship between Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. Marshall. Roosevelt and Hughes The New York Evening Sun, formerly an anti-Roosevelt paper and an admirer of Justice Hughes, prints an editorial in part as follows In last night's issue: "Once again the veering weathercock of national politics points in the direc tion of Theodore Roosevelt. Who can wonder? The frank courage and pa triotic wisdom of his great Detroit speech put to shame the hesitations and the reticence of his competitors. When politicians go into the silence on the eve of a Presidential election they can hardly expect great armies of voters to follow them with enthusias tic shouts, nor yet remain i n the misty outride waiting' for tt.em to hatch out a thought or a conviction. "There is a kind of preparedness which always attracts 'the citizenry.' It is that shown by the man who has definite and concrete views on the prob lems of the day who Is convinced in his own soul, can give reasons for the faith that is in him and Is ready to lead in what he considers Ihe good cause. He appeals to the minds of the masses, stimulates their imagination and arouses their admiration. Out of these elements are born faith In him. confi dence in his leadership and enthusiasm for his personality. Thus the Colonel has declared himself on the one great question of the hour with patriotic pur pose, historic foundation, logical argu ment and transparent earnestness In a breath the wavering and dumb tribe of Burtons and Falrbankses and Cum minses, who either stand nowhere or dare not say where they stand, begin to look like Impossibilities. "The Detroit speech may almost be called an epoch-making utterance, and it Is not surprising that out of the sensation which it has created conies a new movement to force the nomina tion of Colonel Roosevelt. * * * "The followers of Justice Hughes, who seems to-day more than ever the only man In the field who can contend in the lists on favorable terms with the Colonel, has apparently taken alarm at the new conditions created by the Colo nel's speech. We learn from several morning newspapers that they have de termined to 'smoke the Justice out." * "But the country has no light upon his attitude. He has not spoken a word, and his friends either have no light to give or are restrained from giving It. To us. it seems not really fair to the people. It seems most un fortunate that perhaps the most suit able man they could turn to in their emergency is so veiled in mystery as to his most essential principles that voters are deprived of the opportunity of deciding rationally upon his availa bility. Cat) the people be reasonably asked to pick a President in the dark? "The new strength which Colonel Roosevelt exhibits to-day, as between him and Justice Hughes, almost alto gether the outcome of the latter's per sistent shyness in revealing his opin ions, and if In the long run the Colonel becomes the Republican nominee and the next President, the future historian will have small difficulty in figuring out the reason for his victory." Tillman Formulates a Platform [New York Sun] We welcome the return of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman to his old form in a good cause. On Saturday he spoke his opinion of the river and harbor bill with a vigor and direct ness refreshing and effective. He ex posed It without mercy: "T do not want my share of the stealing in this river and harbor hill. "It is criminal to discuss it at all. "Think of it! Forty million dollars to be wasted and taxes to be in creased. "That forty millions would build two battle cruisers. No one knows how many submarines it would build." And the South Carolina Senator is in favor of appropriating every cent that is needed to provide the battle cruisers and the submarines: "The one essential and all Import; ant expenditure confronting us. the one to which we should bend all tlie nation's energies. Is an adequate navy. By that I mean a navy second to none except England's, both in number of ships and In armament. I want us to have the very best types of ships and armament possible to obtain. "Not as many ships nor as powerful a navv as that of Great Britain, but equalling Jt in Individual units, and if possible surpassing it In every es sential of modern warfare. This will cost hundreds of millions of dollars: but. no matter what it costs, we ought to have it—we must have it—and we ought to set about obtaining it in a hurry, for It takes time to build battle ships and battle cruisers." Senator Tillman will vote against the steal, and for an army and a navy strong enough to defend the United States and protect its interests. A good platform, well stated; may his fellow partisans have the sense tor fol low his lead! Boosting Coal Prices Inquiry into the reasons for the ad vance in price of a necessity like an j thraclte should not wait upon the ability of the public to produce evl i dence of a. conspiracy, which is the ■ most difficult charge to prove. The | price-boosters, whether acting Indivi dually or In combination, should be re quired to-show cause for their action, and In the opinion of many students i of the law there Is ample power in the district attorney and grand Jury to i make such an without further legislation. This Is one of the Instances where the power of the | "grand Inquest." generally neglected land sometimes misused, might be em | ployed for the public welfare. —Phila- delphia Bulletin. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH "pottttco- IK "Pe.KM>ijtccuiia St the Ei-Oomrulttoemnn It is a week since Pennsylvanians voted at the direct State-wide primary and no one knows to-day with any degree of accuracy the result of the various elections, while* the honors over which men battled are still in doubt. The dissatisfaction expressed in this city last week and noted In this column is growing; all over the State and there are demands for remedies which range all the way to a return to the old vest pocket ballot which a man might take home the night be fore and mark at his leisure after studying: it to the convention system. Efforts are being made to hurry along the count, but in each county commis sioners have their own troubles over it. The report of the elections law com mission, for which the State spent over $50,000, went into the discard. It represented the ripe judgment of such men as William U. Hensel, David H. Lane and others well known in politics and it is believed would have removed many of the causes for irritation now so freely pointed out. Just what attitude will be taken by the Governor on one stde and Senator Penrose on the other regarding a change in the law is not known, but something will be done. A flock of bills for changes from the systems enacted ten years ago and tinkered with since are certain when-the gavels fall on Capitol Hill next year. —Justice Emory A. Walling, does not appear to be disturbed about the vote for Palmer for supreme court Justice nomination and the friends of the Erie jurist point out that It will be impossible for Palmer to become the sole nominee. Under the law and the decisions of the Dauphin county court, a candidate to be sole nominee must not only have a majority of all votes cast for the office to which he aspires under the nonpartisan act, but he must also have a majority of all votes cast at the primary. As the total non partisan vote may not reach fifty per cent, of the primary vote, as computed for nominees getting high vote, it will be impossible for any one to he sole nominee. Hence, both names will go on the ballot. —The Reading Eagle, among other State newspapers, voices the dissatis faction of the voters of its community with the operation of the personal reg istration and primary laws. The Eagle says that while the vote was fair at the primaries in Berks there is generally heard objection to the cumbersome restrictions and a prefer ence for a change which will simplify matters. —From all accounts Governor Brumbaugh is as fixed in his deter mination to be a candidate for chair man of the Pennsylvania delegation to Chicago as he was three months ago. The Governor is being urged by his advisers to fight for the chairmanship. It is likely that this ambition will bring him into direct conflict with Senator Penrose. —Pittsburgh men are said to he urging the Governor to throw tip his candidacy for President unless he can get all of the votes In the delegation and to announce himself as a candi date for chairman of the delegation instead, a move, which it is believed by the western men, will give him Roosevelt delegates In the fight with Penrose. —Local option men, who have been scanning returns, say that as a result of the primaries the Governor has lost supporters in Jefferson, Somerset. Luzerne, Washington and Allegheny counties. The men defeated, they say, were backed by the administration and on a known local option platform. —Senator Charles A. Snyder, who was here yesterday afternoon, appear ed to be supremely confident of the outcome of the primary for Auditor General. The Senator did not make claims or give figures, but he said that he was satisfied with the result. —The Philadelphia North American quotes Henry G. Wasson as saying that he is not a candidate for re-election as national committeeman and that he will abide by the State committee's selection of his successor. —Beaver county returns show Mayor Armstrong high man In the delegate-at-large fight with the Gov ernor next. —Roosevelt got 303 written-in votes for President in the Tioga county primaries. The Governor, whose name was printed on the ballot, got 1493, and Ford, who had stickers, got 13. —Judge Brumm threw out the re sults In the Lost Creek voting last Fall because of fist fighting. —Philadelphia is now having a row over the loans. —R. B. Scandrett, Western Pennsyl vania delegate, predicts ten Roosevelt votes from Pennsylvania on the first ballot —The Philadelphia Record says that the Brumbaugh leaders will have a meeting to-day or to-morrow to take stock account and to arrange their plan. It looks as though Attorney General Brown had already arranged il —Congressman Coleman got over 1.4 50 majority over M. Clyde Kelley in his district. —Snyder leads Ambler in Allegheny county by over 11,500. Ade On Preparedness [From the New York Tribune] George Ade, putting aside his reputa tion for "Fables In Slang," discussed with seriousness the national political situation as he saw it in Indiana. "The ! thinking and traveling people of the [ Middle West are all as strong for pre paredness as the people of the East." i said Mr. Ade. "Who will be nominated? Well, the Republicans want somebody who can and will win; they want what !Is popularly described as a 'winner.' | Roosevelt will be supported In the Re i publican convention by a very active and loyal minority, but I think they have got tob many hand-picked dele gates for him. "Personally, I don't think the Demo crats have a ghost of a chance unless there Is a split among the Republi cans. It l« my opinion that the Repub licans and Progressives will get to gether. and if so they will unite on some candidate the Progressives can really support." Asserting that in Indiana and all through the Middle West the people were thoroughly aroused to the neces sity of adequate preparedness, Mr. Ade said: "It is criminal to be indifferent to the needs of the nation. Personally. I am In favor of the Swiss system of military training. I would make mili tary service universal and compulsory. I would have the term short. "Let me tell you that, while the youth of this country has a lot of pep, it has come to have an appalling lack of re spect for authority. You see it par ticularly In small towns all over the country—contempt for their elders, coif tempt for the laws and for institutions, j That creates a dangerous possibility. Youngsters should be taught obedience and respect for those over them. It Is my belief that something like military training is absolutely necessary to keep these boys and young men within bounds." | XHE CARTOON OP THE DAY BOTH—"I THOUGHT I HEARD HIM KNOCKING!" —From the 1-Hr Dispatch. A TEST FOR WATCHES By Frederic J. Haskin J AT the United States Bureau of. Standards, in Washington, ( there is a big cabinet with a glass front in which are 38 watches of all shapes, sizes and grades, and all j vigorously ticking. The temperature [ in this cabinet is controlled by a ther- ! mostat which automatically shuts off i an electric current when the tempera- | ture gets too high. The variation, if there be any, is recorded by a thermo- j graph, which draws a line red line up on a piece of paper. In front of this cabinet there is j erected a small telescope. At regular j intervals a man takes his seat behind this instrument, and studies the face 1 of each watch at a distance of about six feet. At his side is an ordinary Morse telegraph key. This is con- j nected with a chronograph, which in turn is connected with the Bureau's standard time clock. As the hands of j each watch indicate the fifty-eighth, ( sixtieth and second seconds, the ob server taps his telegraph key, and j make a record on a chronograph of the reading of that particular watch as compared with the standard clock. | The record of the watches can after wards be read at one's leisure. This is an official, free-for-all watch test conducted by thrf United* States government. Any manufacturer of watches, any jeweller, Jobber or Indi vidual watch-owner may send his watch to the bureau at the time of these periodical tests, and have it test ed In three positions for three dollars or in five positions for five dollars. It will take fifty-four days to complete the latter test. When you get your watch back, however, you will know exactly what it can do standing up and lying down, hanging by its stem, in hot weather and in cold, by day THE STATE FROM WTO DOT [' The Charleroi Mail reprints editor ially a little tribute by a writer in j Harper's Magazine to the country j newspaper, telling of the soul of the little sheet that lacks the power of the mighty press and yet contains in proportion just as much of the sweet ness of life and the earnestness of effort in the making as the big city daily. It takes a bit of sentiment like that sometimes to blot out the touch of cynicism that occasionally clouds our horizon. Erie is attempting to "clean up" the loafers who stand around and do noth- t ing but stare and stare, and pass in sulting remarks. "Clean-up Week" ; does not always mean cleaning up the material rubbish. Human rubbish stands in just as great a need of re moval. The recent call for the State De partment of Agriculture to observe 1 |"Rooster Week," which party will be, i celebrated by the removal of the heads 'of one rooster a day for a period of a week, May 20 to June 3, sounds il- I logical, but the execution is demanded by the fact thaf there are too many non-fertile eggs being produced, to the , detriment of the poultry industry. ' Thursday of this \veek is "Good | Roads Day." Let there be rejoicing and much chewing of the rag in order | that the sentiment in favor of better oads may bear fruit and make it ! possible in time to come for us to ; celebrate "Best Roads Day" as an in- | 'dication of supremacy. Our doctors had better look to the | welfare of their brethren in the pro- i fession who are advocating for men either no hats at all or else hats with bows tied under the chin. Egad, would they make Buster Browns of us all ? Many papers are giving space to the statistical problems which proves that out of 365 day» in the year man works but three. If you haven't heard it al ready, don't worry. It is like the combination of terms and relationships which proves that through intermar riage and heredity a man may be his own grandfather.

Et Dona Ferentes [From the New York Herald] Perhaps Count von Bernstorff's action Is nothing more than another round about effort to hoodwink the Depart ment of Justice into surrendering those letters into his hands.

You will know to a ' riot, how much it gains or loses and how much its rate varies in the 24 hours. If you are a manufacturer or Jeweller, you may win a certificate which you can sell with your watch, and you may receive the Bureau's re i ports which will help you improve I your product. Government watch tests have long , been regularly held in Switzerland, France and England. The chief ob servatory in the world is that at Ge neva, Switzerland. These government ' tests have been of the greatest valuo to the European watch makers. They (have set a standard of performances for watches of all grades and have al so caused the standardization and im ; provement of materials. For exam ple, the Swiss government discovered through its watch tests that invar, an alloy of nickel and steel, is much bet ,l?r material for the balance wheel than any other metal. The Swiss watch ! makers are now using this material regularly, but the Americans have not yet taken it up. Most of them know nothing about it. Now the Bureau of Standards proposes to test American | watches, standardize them, and fur jnish the manufacturer with the ex i pert guidance which is necessary to every industry. Incidentally, it will also make a test for any individual ; who wants to know what kind of a j watch he is getting for his money, and whether it is really well adjusted or not. Specifically, the test consists in run ning the watch in five different posi tions (or in some cases, three), at several different temperatures, and of an isochronism test.

Example of Senator Lodge • lFrom the Public Ledger. J It Is a sound principle of statesman ship to take what you can get rather than get nothing at all. Senator Lodge acted upon this principle when he voted for the army bill as reported out of conference. All that his col leagues had to say against it was per fectly true. It is at best a half-hearted attempt to deal with a question of vital importance to the nation. Yet its op ponents put themselves in a false posi tion by an endeavor to defeat it at this stage. Mr. Lodge, who may fairly be regarded as the Republican leader in the Senate, did not commit that error in tactics. The responsibility for the passage of the bill does not lie with him or with his party. Neither he nor any other Republican can he accused of inconsistency in continuing to criticise sham preparedness and to urge real preparedness. The Senate had to sub i mit to the House because there was no possibility of carrying through that ; body any better measure. I The quality of Mr. Lodge's leadership ils demonstrated by this episode as by many others during the past three I years.
