Police Nab Man as Champion Lover Wilkes-Barre, June 13. ln the arrest of Walter ZUlnskl. of "Some where," county authorities believe they have run down the leader of a matrimonial confidence game that has been victimizing women in all sections of the country. Two local women are victims of Zilinski. Miss Stella Pettetska, a student, 13 one of the victims. She recently became heir to $1,200. Evidently Zilinski learned this fact, for he ar dently loved and his offer of mar riage was accepted. Claiming that he needed S4OO to settle a cose for running down a woman with his automobile, he got the money. When he got it he disappeared and the marriage never took place. Mrs. H. Frankel is another vic tim. She is a widow. After being courted for some time she agreed to marriage. She willingly gave Zilinski S7OO to pay for an auto mobile. Then he disappeared.

(Correspond ence)— Many Americans in London were surprised and disappointed i when they learned that, when the ! United States entered the war, they were not automatically relieved of the necessity of observing the Brit ish police regulations affecting aliens. I This is especially true of the Amer | leans who have arrived here since i the early part of 1916. These must report their movements to the au thorities just as all other aliens, whether allies or neutrals, are re- I quired to do. There is a considerable amount of j red tape involved in the police reg ! ulations and. no sooner had the Unit- i [ ed States thrown in its lot on the side of the entente allies,, than many j Americans got the impression that they would be relieved of this war time necessity. When they found out that their status in this respect ! remained unchanged by the turn of e\ents many of them appealed to the ! United States embassy and consulate ! for further information. They were told that there was no indication of | any change.

TAKE A CENSUS AND PUT EVERY MAN AND WOMAN TO WAR WORK The American People Must Be Shaken Out of the Habit of "Letting George Do It" By ALLEN CHAMBERLAIN It Is a terribly depressing experi ence in a time of public stress and peril to realize that you are just plain "no good." It is in this predic ament that a vast number of men, and women, too, for that matter, find themselves In the present hour. This alludes especially to those who are classified as "too old," and alas, some who still considered themselves fit to run with the youngsters, have been rudely awakened to ,the fact that they are "old una" in the eyes of the government. Not only old, but useless to boot, and only fit to buy war bonds, to pay their taxes, and 'to furnish the applause at pa triotic rallies. Sentence has been passed upon all over 40. But is there no appeal? Will the nation consent to this waste of abil ity and enthusiasm simply because Congress decrees that a man over 40 may not volunteer for the regulars? Is there not a place in the plan of national defense for those poor old duffers, somewhere around 50, or eke beyond, who are physically sound and mentally alert. even though they lack in specialized knowledge? Who can answer? None, and for the simple reason that there is no plan of national defense. No use to point to the recent acts of Congress providing for an enlarged navy and an army of a lAillion men. Are the rest of us content to sit by. and let these soldiers and sailors play the George role of doing the whole job, contributing onl your applause at their successes, and our sobs of an guish at their misfoi tunes? For those who were born late enough the army and navy are open. All others must twirl their thumbs, fume and try to think that they are doing busi ness as usual, although they know only well enough that they are not. There will be no adequate plan of national defense until Congress pro vides for the enlistment of every useful individual and organization, not only for gun-carrying, but to guarantee a complete support for the gun-carriers. Why not a census of all the people, one that will in clude male and female, sound and unsound, from the youngest Boy Scout and Campflre Girl, to the old est grandsire and dowager? As with the soldiers all should be called even though few are chosen. Chosen for what, pray? For that service to the nation that a carefully taken census of abilities and experiences shall in dicate as available. Kick the bushel off the light and let us see what our real national wealth is. the only kind of wealth that really counts in such an hour as this, the ability to do things, big and little. • Along the horizon line toward Washington a faint dawn of hope is glimmering. Someone in authority perceives that a national task is at hand, and that the nation as a whole will be required to perform it. What other interpretation can be put upon the words of the President's draft proclamation: "It is not an army that we must shape and train for war: lt is a nation. • • • The whole nation must be a team in which each man shall play the part for which he is best fitted." And lest that hope be shattered on a suspicion that this Is only rhetoric, there is a heartening reassurance in the almost simultaneous utterance of Mr. Vanderlip of the advisory commission to the Council of Na tional Defense. Vanderlip, the man of business, hard-headed, unexcit able. from his privileged knowledge of the country's greatest needs, sounds the true warning that should be the knell of shiftlessness and lais sez faire. Economy is the burden of his message, economy of personal expenditure, economy of individual ad communal enterprise. Not parsi mony. but economy in the sense of a rational use of all resources. Effici ency. "The country should imme diately awake to the fact," he says, "that it cannot carry on a war like this with one hand, and continue to do all the business it did before with the other." Would Vanderlip have delivered himself thus em phatically. in his semi-official capac ity, without assurances that lt rep resented official thought and con templated action? It is doubtful if he would, Independent though he is. and free from the entanglements of politics. The man with the rifle and the man with the hoe, both have their HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Jobs. The day of the hoi polloi is ap proaching. Is it an indication that when Congress has completed its soldier program its attention will be turned to the ned of mobilizing the vast civilian army, also. It cannot move too soon in this. When the transports sail it must not bq to the old tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me," but to a new and more inspir ing strain of "America That Tolls Behind Us." The brawn, the brains, the oil, the machines of all the land must not stand, but work, behind our fighting men on sea and land. On those at home, no less than on those who risk their lives in battle, depends the success of this final struggle for liberty. With those at home, no less than with those afield and afloat, discipline and unified ef fort must prevail. Many weks ago (It seems a year since Bernstorft left unlamented) men and women in this city, and no doubt it was the same elsewhere throughout the land, sought to en roll themselves for service in case of need. Few had any preferences as to the kind of service that might be required of them. No one knew where he would fit to best advantage. There was no one who could point the way. This flood of patriotic eag erness was left to swirl around in an aimless circle. A few were caught up by side eddies and found niches with the Red Cross, the Special Aid Society, a local committee on public safety or of food production, in re cruiting work, and similar independ ent enterprises. Yet a few other strong swimmers struck out for themselves and landed at opportuni ties more or less suited to their tal ents. The mass remained swirling, gradually slowing down, finally to settle Into the stagnancy of discour agement. It was poor old Brittling over again, surrounded by the self same economic and governmental conditions that best him and his fellows in Great Britain for such a weary and for so costly a time. Evidently, if those words of the President and of Mr.Vanderlip mean anything. America is prepared to learn a lesson at the hands of its experienced allies. "The nation needs all men." to quote the Presi dent once more, "but it needs each man. not in the field that will be the most pleasure to him, but in the endeavor that will best serve the common good." And to again listen Ito Mr. Vanderlip: "There is more work in sight than can possibly be ! done, and the question is whether 1 we shall cut off luxuries or neces sities." Our railroads have begun to do their part. It is not business as usual for them, but a voluntary ac ceptance of orders from the war board of the American Railway As sociation. to eliminate the luxurious ; and nonessential, to consolidate, : and to redouble their every effort. Where does the line fall between I luxuries and necessities in individual wants, between nonessentials and essentials in mercantile production. In railroad matters the war hoard of their association is the arbiter. It specifically tells the management of the roads what to do. It will re main for some authority to be con stituted that shall say with finality to the rest of us, "You do this, and you do that," and according to our capacity as revealed through the census. To the manufacturer of niillinery de luxe must be shown that his needle women and his ma chines will be needed at times to make clothing; to the florist that vegetables are more beautiful to look upon than bright flowers in emergencies; to the jeweler that cartridges are more precious than diamonds; to the writer of such an article as this that a clerical job would be more fitting or perchance that of an official press gagger (un der suitable control), might tend to teach him humility. These are but examples, somewhat overdrawn, perhaps, of what Great Britain tardily came to recognize as necessary changes from business as usual. It does not necessarily follow that these trades must be wrecked to accomplish the end in view. No one wants the ladies to go bare headed, or to appear in unbecoming toggery. Milliners will still be need ed. Robbed of Its flowers, this would be a doleful world, especially in war time. Even the most efficient veg etable garden or hothouse can af ford some space for posies. Cupid will not be banished from the land, not even by Mars, and engagement and wedding rings will still be made and sold. Newspapers will still be In demand, and the demand will be supplied, whatever befalls the gag bill, or an Insignificant scflbbler or two. At first blush It sounds as paternal istic as if "made in Germany." Or is it socialistic, rather? It might as fittingly be termed democratic. In deference to the political complex ion of the administration, or repub lican, since we proudly term our government a republic. Rebellion against organized control Is treason ir. the military service. In civil life insistence on unrestrained individ ualism in time of war is anarchy. Mr. Vanderlip evidently knew whereof he spoke when he said that "there is more work in sight than can pos sibly be done." Come what may, some things must be done, and well done. The essentials must be con centrated upon, and the heads and hands best fitted for those tasks must be drafted. If need be, for them. The country is at war, and. as Prof. Albert Rushnell Hart said in a recent article, it must "face the music." Prof. Hart sought to emphasize the magnitude of the task that is before the country. He, too, points out the inevitable when h
