J JL ASTRICH'S J KAISER OFTEN VISITS FRONT Time of Trip Is Kept Secret; Frequently Reviews Troops Behind the Somme Front, Sept. 16. (Correspondence of the Associat ed Press).—There never was a time when so little was known of the Kais er's movements as at present. When he decides upon a trip to some point on the front, it is keot as secret as possible, and if ever reported in the German press is delayed until the ropal visitor is far away—perhaps on the other side of the empire. It is believed Emperor William visits the front more frequently than any other ruler. Recently correspondents visiting the southern section of the Somme front did not learn until well past midnight that the Emperor at 9 o'clock on the morning of the day Just breaking jg^ ——jshjO—lSE H Goldsmith Furniture Makes the House a Home" §' | Autumn Exhibition 1 OF | . | Character Furniture Thursday, Friday and Saturday H \Vc're ready for Autumn and Winter.

If I GOLDSMITH'S I 3, North Market Square I • 1 WEDNESDAY EVENING, j would review as many of the troops as i could be assembled at a point a few miles back from the fighting line but still within sound of the guns. The correspondents were on hand 1 before the appointed time—and had | a chance to see some maneuvering ' that would have done credit to first line troops in peacetime. On the dot l of nine the companies drew up in parade formation on a broad level ground that was formerly a backyard of an ancient chateau. They formed three sides of a square, at one end of which was a military band, and in the center of the officers. * Full of Vigor Half an hour after the appointed time the Kaiser arrived in a lean, gray i automobile. He sprang from the car | with the vigor of a young man. He wore the helmet of a general of infan try, but the tall boots, coming in front high above the knee, of a suirrasier. He cast from his shoulders the long gray cape with a fur collar in which | he is shown in his favorite pictures, I and with a stride of long steps lifting | each foot high from the ground, His Majesty walked toward that end of the j formation where the band stood. His f standard bearers, who always walk behind with his flag, had their work cut out for them as he strode ahead. At first he paused just a moment, greeted the genera! in command, bow | ed and saluted to other officers, and ' then turned down the line. He walk | ed as one attempting to go through a | dewy pasture and still keep one's feet I reasonably dry, with great high steps. After making the rounds of three I sides of the square the Emperor turn- I ed and strode to the center to chat j with the various high officers gathered j there, and then began to pin orders | and medals on the breasts of the ' chosen few. It was only at the conclusion of this I ceremony that correspondents stand- I ing at a little distance had a chance to see His Majesty at closerange, and |to get a good look at his seamed and 1 lined, but strong, healthy, vigorous j face. After the decorating the Kaiser walked to the doorway that leads by i the chateau, then faced about and | prepared to review the troops. Most !of them were new troops, probably I few had ever marched by their Em ; peror before, and it was possible to detect some nervousness. But they paraded in the goose-step as bravely and as stiffly as ever did a like set of men on the Tempelhofer Feld. The commander made the custom ary address in which he pledged loy alty to His Majesty and a firm deter mination to fight on. His voice rose and fell with emotion, and what he said obviously affected the Emperor. The Kaiser answered in a voice that from a distance was hard to under- HARRT&BURG TELEGRAPH I stand though It was silver-clear and | more highly pitched than that of his ! general. The soldiers, however, could hear it. and their faces glowed as their i Emperor thanked, them. The parade ended as abruptly as it ; began.

NATURAL RELATION'S BETWEEN BOYS AXU GIRLS In genercl, the best way to develop wholesome relations between boys and j girls is to have them work together, and learn to be good companions, and to be at ease in one another's pres ence. Many boys and girls do not know how to act when they are to gether unless they are dancing. This is due to tire fact that they have not developed chummy relations except in the dance. I think, though, that our modern schools, high-schools es pecially, in which there is wholesome ! work going on all the time, in which ] there are no places for loitering and , developing silly relations, in which there are social organizations where ' boys and girls come together, and work together for one another's en ! tertainment —I think such schools are doing a great deal 10 develop whole -1 some, natural relations. In some of these schools, especially In a school like the High school at Grand Rapids, ; Michigan, special attention is given jto the social relations of boys and | girls. They are in musical organiza- J tions and laboratories together, and they learn to be with one another - without self-consciousness or morbid curiosity. This is the essential ' method of developing natural rela tions. The same principles could be fojlowed out in the home, only it must be arranged so that when boys and girls come togetner they will have plenty to d-j to keep them interested ; and occupied. It should be said further that boys and girls ought to be separated a con i siderable part of the time in the teens. ; Girls ought to live a girl's life, and I boys a boy's life. It is a mistake to j have them together all the time, j There is sure to develop under this condition a certain ajnount of unnatu ralness.—M. V.

We piull frequently over the proba bility of danger from abroad, but In the majority of cases our conclusions are hased on Inadequate sources of In formation and we can really reach no satisfactory answer to the question. Mr. Freeman in his recant book smashes home with startling facts the theory that we are in real danger of eventualities at the close of the pres ent war. He goes Into the question of the resources, population In propor tion to size, desire for expansion and other relative phases of the three na tions that in his estimation are likely enemies-to-be of this country, namely England, Germany and Japan. Then he asks the question, "Are wi pre pared?" and the echo answers "No!" He concludes with telling Just what each individual citizen can do and wherein his national obligations con sist, dlsgressing, by the way, into a splendidly rational plea for universal miliary training. The author then Insists on an appro priation of one billion dollars for pre paredness, which is equivalent to fifty two cents per capita for twenty years, a small rate of Insurance for national protection. Who Wins In November* by Donald Ft. Richberg. (F. J. Drake and Co., Chicago). This little book on "inside politics" Is a remarkably clear and forceful ex position of the bases on which the Republican and Democratic candidates for the Presidency will appeal to the voters of the country in November. Many a man is for this or that candi date, but doesn't exactly know why. The duty of citizenship demands that we shall vote intelligently and the only way to do that Is to inform ourselves Impartially of the merits of the two candidates. Everything from Mexico and Preparedness to Woman Suffrage and Efficiency is taken up and thor oughly discussed, with the result that the reader has the issues set squarely before him and is enabled to reach a logical conclusion as to why in his own mind the one or the other of the two men should be elected. "YOUNG LOVE SATISFIED" Mrs. Belloc Lowndes, whose novel, Good Old Anna, has been one of the big successes of the past month, makes the following rather surprising state ment in an article jn an English paper: "Most human beings—at any rate, in this country—believe that they will find, or have found, their happiness in what a very exquisite poet has charm ingly visioned as 'young love satis fied.' It may be so in many instances, and yet I cannot forget that the hap piest man I ever knew was unmar ried. He was a Wesleyan, a working tailor by trade, old, when I knew him. far from strong in health, and never earning what in these days would be considered an adequate wage. But he speSnt all his spare time working to Improve the lot of, and to make happy in a good way, the boys and youths of his own class. "As to the happiest women I have known—it Is pleasant to be able to put them in the plural they have been nuns leading very busy, and therefore very cheerful and contented, lives." Rather startling from a woman whose latest book (Good Old Anna) is said to include one of the most mov ing and beautiful love passages in re cent action. Mary R. S. Andrews, the author of ' The Perfect Tribute," and famous as a 'writer of short stories, contributes her I first poem to the October Scribner. It I is a fine picture and impression of the sensations of "Night on the Mountains." Another book by Professor Dr. Freud translated by Dr. A. A. Brill is an nounced by Moffat, Yard and Company. "Leonardo da Vinci" is a psychoanalytic character study of the great Italian | painter. It will be of deep interest not only to the followers of the Freudian theories, but also to the world of art and literature at large because of the subject selected by Freud in proof of his theories.

It was first made in 15Zi, and went through various phases till it was remade in 1842, and since that dato has been in perfect working or der. This clock not only tells the time of day, but the month, and day of the month, and all the movable feast days of the Catholic Church. A statute of Apollo points out the day of the month and the name ot the saint corresponding to that day. The clock shows the rising and setting of the sun. the diurnal motion of the moon round the earth, its passage over the meridian, the phases of the moon and the eclipses of both sun and moon. Allegorical figures in chariots repre senting the days of the week drive into view, appearing each day in proper order: On Sunday, Apollo; Monday, Diana; Tuesday, Mars; Wednesday, Jupiter; armed with a thunderbolt; Thursday, Thor; Friday, Venus, and Saturday, Saturn. At a quarter past the hour a child comes forward and strikes a bell once; at half past a youth strikes the bell twice; at a quarter to the hour a middle-aged man strikes it three times; and Just before the hour a tottering old man strikes the bell four times. Then a figure of death steps forward and solemnly strikes the hour. On the stroke of twelve, the twelve Apostles appear, each one bowing as he passes the figure of Christ, who stands with hands uplifted In blessing, and as the procession passes, a cock which stands on the top of the clock at the left side crows three times in a very life-like manner and flaps its wings. ECONOMY HITS NAVY Kiel, Sept. 20. —The cry of economy has now reached the German navy, as indicated by an order just issued by the Kaiser which abolishes the full dress uniform of officers. Henceforth, accordingly, German naval officers will make a much less "stunning" impres sion on gala occasions. The gold em broidery on the collar and down the legs of the trouserß is a thing of the past, and with It goes two-pointed hats. NIAGARA I LANCASTER FALLS J?

There was a good growth of oats, but the threshing has shown a much smaller percentage of, grain than was expect ed.
