PERSONAL-- Children Prize-Winners h ESTHER STENCE PRIZES AWARDED IN SCHOOL TODAY Colonial Dames Hear Essays Receiving Honorable Men tion in State Contest This was a gala day at the Camp Curtin school building, for this af ternoon special exercises were held in Miss Baker's room by the Dauphin county committe, Colonial Dames of America, and two children of the school, Esther Stence and William Stinson, received honors. Every year schools throughout Pennsylvania are invited to write essays on a given historical subject by the State Society of Colonial Dames, and three prizes are awarded, $25, sls and $lO in gold and certificates of honorable mention. Harrisburg has received all these prizes twice, and this year gets another "honorable men tion" from the State society. After an interesting program, in which the school sang "Our Bright Starry Banner," Handel's "Largo" and the "Star Spangled Banner," and brief addresses were made by Dr. Frederick E. Downes, superintendent of city schools, and Mrs. Mabel Cron ise Jones, chairman of the Dauphin county prize committee, Mrs. Marlin E. Olmsted, county chairman, made a delightful little presentation speech, giving Esther Stence the State eertiii cate for her fine essay on "Early Homes of the Continental Congress," and with it, as a surprise, a $5 gold piece from this chapter. William Stinson, whose essay was unusually good, was given a $2% gold piece from the prize committee. These chil dren are both 14 years old, and their training in English and composition by Miss Stambaugh has been thorough as is shown by this special work. There were many relatives of the school pupils present to-day, as well as the Dauphin county committee of Colonial Dames which includes Mrs. Marlin E. Olmsted, Mrs. Robert A. Lamberton, Mrs. James Henry Dar lington, Mrs. A. J. llerr, Mrs. Eliza beth Crain Kunkel, Mrs. A. P. L. Dull, Mrs. John Y. BoydjyMrs. Mabel Cron ise Jones and Miss Catharine Irwin Egle. WHAT THEY ABE FIGiJIIXG FOR When the German Emperor tells his people they are fighting for existence, he is stating what he knows to be un true. This is not, has never been, and never will be for Germany a war of existence. It has been from the be ginning, and is now, in the minds of those who rule her councils, a war not for national existence, but for world empire. Indeed, it may be said that all those rights and freedoms whose painful acquisition constitutes the glory of the free democracies of the West would be lost to Germany as to the world by a German victory, but will be .secured for Germany with the rest of the world by German defeat.— From Winston Spencer Churchill's "Why Germany Must Lose," in Col lier's.
