In this way they can be placed before the public and do tha maximum amount of good. PRESERVING CANNING DRYING without previous experience, and with no other equipment than that to be found in almost every home, anyone, adult or child should be able to can food satisfactorily by the methods which follow. They are a combination of the best methods found by the Gov ernment and the housewives of Central Pensylvanla. By the methods various vegetables, soups, meats, fish and practically any other food or combination of foods can be canned, as well as fruits and tomatoes, the products most commonly canned. The simple, general rules necessary for successful canning, by the one period, cold pack methods will be given. In all home canning it should be born in mind that when hermetic ally sealed containers are difficult to obtain, food products which cannot be preserved easily in other ways should be given preference. Ths would make inadvisable inmost cases at times like the present, the such products as hominy, dried beans, potatoes and similar foods. VEGETABLE COMBINATIONS Corn anl2 to GO week'y. booklets.

Repairs were quickly made. August American Boy Major Edwin V. Bookmiller, di rector of the bureau of civilian marksmanship, in the War Depart ment, in an article in the August American Boy, points out the im portantance of learning how to ef fect the explosion of a rifle by queezing Instead of jerking or pull ing the trigger. He also gives a series of drills by which anyone can learn the essentials of good marks manship without even firing a shot. The magazine exploits two sum mer sports in "The Foundation Stroke In Tennis," by P. A. Valle, and "Learning the Crawl Stroke," by F. V. Velth, swimming instruc tor of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Both writers touch on comparative ly new phases of their subjects. An other article of the romance of the air is contributed by Lieutenant G. T.

MEDDLER IS NOT A PEACEMAKER Interesting Decision Handed Down by the State Com pensation Board Today A man who forsakes his duties and undertakes to give orders to another employe takes himself out of the course of his employment and as sumes powers which do not belong to him, thereby forfeiting right to protection of the state compensation act, according to an opinion rendered by Chairman Harry A. Mackey, of the state board, in the case of Ifol lister vs. Colonial Colliery Company. Natalie. Holllster * was a sort of general utility man and while acting as ashman was asked by another em ploye to compel a third employe to haniT'over to him certain tools. When he attempted to get the tools Hoi lister was struck with a hammer. In so acting Mr. Mackey says he can not be said to have been furthering interests of his employer and that there Is no evidence in the record that there was any imminent danger of a fight between the men. Mr. Mackey adds: "We can only regard the claimant in this case as a med dler or interferer in other men's af fairs at a time when he ought to have been prosecuting his own work. This does not raise the question of the right of a peacemaker to compensa tion when he finds one employe Is about to be assaulted by another." The opinion reverses Referee Cham pion. In the case of Pressler vs. General Refractories Company, Mt. Union, Commissioner John A. Scott lays down the policy of the board in re gard to petitions to reopen agree ments, saying that detailed state ments of proper causes are required. A similar decision is given in the So lonkoski vs. Mldvale Steel Company. Mr. Scott says receipts must stand until it is showno n a petition to review that the final receipt was exe cuted under mistake by fraud, coer cion or other cause. SELF GOVERNMENT It was hardly necessary to ask the man who had worked hardest for the passage of the Jones bill wheth er the passage of "El Bill Jones" had improved the fraternal feelings be tween the two nations but his reply, coming as it did the day before America declared war, was of real interest. "Five years ago," he said, "If America had become involved in war the best she could have expected of the Philippines was strict neutrality. But to-day if America needs our aid the Filipinos will flock to the col ors ready to give their lives for the nation that has promised them their independence." Others have testified to this change in attitude, and there are other~illus trations to prove a change of feeling. Five years ago if a Filipino mention ed Independence he was cheered to the echo. This year the finest ora tor among the young Filipinos, speaking before the graduating classes of the Uplverslty of Ihe Phil ippines and the large audience that had gathered to witness their com mencement exercises, spoke of the coming independence and there was no response on the part of the audi ence. I asked Mr. Quezon whether the Filipinos were as keen for im mediate independence as they were two years ago, and he replied that they were not. "Two factors enter Into the pres ent attitude which were absent two years ago," continued the young statesman. "The larger factor is the assurance, which the Filipino peo ple now have for the first time, that America intends to give us our in dependence. Never until the passage of the Jones bill were we certain that such was the policy of the Unit ed States. The second factor is the feeling of responsibility that has come with the larger measure of self-government and the realization that sooner or later we must be pre pared for entire independence. One cannot prophesy with certainty, but there is a possibility that the Fili pinos, confident of ultimate inde pendence, will desire a little more time for preparing themselves.— Maynard Owen Williams, In The Christian Herald. oaooomocaocaoaoxaono oxaoooßOoonooocaooo oboboboboboq n 217 Market St. I 1217 Market St. Opposite Court House J JL#REAI SHOE MAKERS I Opposite Court House jJ I M |j| 111 |l Q Record Breaking Big Crowds and Bargains at Our | i|l > IWw CLEAN-UP SA SUMMER LL FOOTWEAR j [ 1 1 —i— mm—* mm—mmmmmm ___________________________ .[} Women's Shoes Reduced I Open Saturday — —u Closed Thursday at I SPECIAL BARGAINS FOR MEN IS O II """"" !

What Are We Fighting For? By LAWRENCE F. ABBOTT of the Vigilantes For hatred of the German people? No, we have too many friends and relatives in Germany and too many good neighbors and companions of German stock in this country. For Jealousy of the achievements of German science and scholarship? No, too many Americans owe per haps the best part of their educa tion to the German university sys tem. For the destruction of G'erman music and poetry? No, too many of us as children were thrilled by the incomparable Klnderlieder, chorales and cafols of the nation that gave birth to Bach, Beethoven. Brahms, Robert Franz, Schuberth, Goethe, Heine and the brothers Grimm. For th expulsion of the Germans from the high seas? No, too many of us remember joyous voyages across the Atlantic through the Mediterranean or among the islands of the Carrlbean under stalwart and kindly captains who were as careful of the efficiency of their crews and the safety and comfort of their pas sengers as "Papa" Joffre is of the skill and welfare of his poilus. What, then, are we fighting for? Why is practically the entire civil ized world arrayed in arms or an tipathy against Geramny? For fifty years Germany has been the greatest military power in Eu rope. Originally created for defense her army has been fostered and fash ioned into a supreme manifestation of nation power. The most honor able designation of the Kaiser came to be not King, not Monarch, not Emperor, but "Highest War Lord." Civil authority, civil rights and even civil prosperity have been subordi nated to the growth and needs of the army. The burden of army tax ation made new and greater sources o£ wealth imperative. Hence Ger many turned her eyes to Bagdad, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, China, | Africa, and even South America. 1 She opposed the taking of the Phil ippines by thp United States and showed her dislike of our buildln the Panama canal, since these two achievements made us a possible ob stacle to her plans of world dom ination. A party of Pan-Germanists grew up. They taught openly in books, In the universities, and even in the German parliament that Germany's destiny was first to dominate Europe and then from that position of Euro pean eminence, surpassing even the glories of the Roman Empire of the Caesars, to influence supremely, per haps actually to direct, the course of world civilization. While other nations were dream ing of peace and international arbi tration, the Pan-Germanlsts were teaching their young men that "war is a biological necessity," that "the will power" is the greatest of man ly virtues, and that the Creator of the Universe intended the "strong to canquer" and the "weak to die" in order to produce a race—perhaps a German race—of "supermen." The motives of the Pan-German ists were mixed. They were moved partly by the love of military glory, partly by the ambition for political power, partly by a desire for the great natural resources out of which riches are made. They believed that they could mine, manufacture, buy and sell—in a word create wealth and wield power better than any other race. To do this on a;grand scale they must have territory, ter ritory and yet more territory. This meant a war of conquest. But the Pan-German leaders had no objection to wars of conquest. On the contrary, like the old Israelite,s— see the Book of Esther —or like Philip II of Spain—see Motley's Dutch Republic—they believed that conquest is manly, noble, virtuous and approved by God. It seems almost incredible that modern scientists and scholars should argue in behalf of bloody warfare like medieval kings. But such is the fact In Germany. Dr. Ostwald. a distinguished German [university professor, winner of one of the great Nobel prizes in chemis try, said in a public interview early in the war that Germany was fifty years ahead of the rest of the world in culture and social organization and It was her moral duty to give her higher form of civilization to Europe, Asia, and, inferentially, to America —by force if necessary. One of the strangest documents of the war is a paper taking this same view of Germany's "destiny" and therefore defending the rape of Bel gium, the shooting of women, chil dren and noncombatants, and the commission of deeds which the rest of the world shudderingly regards as atrocities. This paper was written and signed by ninety-three German theologians, philosophers and uni versity professors. The torpedoing of the Lusitania and the drowning of unwarned and innocent women and children was hailed by the Pan-Germanists as a deed of bravery, and commemorated by the striking and distribution of a medal. The German Chancellor, a culti vated, accomplished gentleman, ex cused the invasion of Belgium on the ground that "military necessity knows no law" and that an inter national treaty is really nothing but "a scrap of paper." When at the end of July, 1914, the peace of the world was threat ened by the controversy of Austria and Servia over the assassination of the Austrian archdukj. the British government through Sir Edward mSAmrnmrnSSm J.S.Belsiriger 212 Locust St. ' New Location Optometrists Opticians Eyes Examined (No Drops) Bcl6in£cr Glasses as low as $2. JULY 27, 1917. Lemoyne Racket Stars Defeat Harrisburg Players Slothower arid Fettrow, represent ing the Aryan Racket club of Le moyne, defeted Lyle Fink and B. Saultzer, of Harrisburg, In a tourna ment on the Lemoyne courts yester day afternoon. The scores were 11-9, 4-6 and 11-9. All three sets were closely contested, neither team hav ing an advantage over the other. In a set of singles Fettrow defeated B. Saultzer 7-5. / Grey, implored the Kaiser to alt at a round table conference and see If the dispute could not be settled by International agreement instead of by war. "No," said the Kaiser. "That would be beneath the dignity of my ally, Austria." And he deliberately chose war. Now the intellectual German Is Inexorable In his logic. Given a cer tain premise, he will follow it to the bitterest end no matter what it may be And if the German premise in this war is right then everv one of their deeds in the war is right. If war is a "biological necessity," if the "will to power" is the great manly virtue, if the strong are bless ed for they shall inherit the earth, if the weak are to be wiped out of existence for they are a menace to civilization, if "military necessity knows no law," if military organiza tion is the "highest form of social efficiency," then all the acts of the German army are virtuous and splendid ■, the rape of Belgium was patriotic, not traitorous; the sinking of the Lusitania was heroic, not das tardly; the Zeppelin bombardment of women and babies in unfortified towns was justifiable; the shooting of Nurse Cavell was reasonable; tl\e ruthless devastation of Northern France was civilized, not barbaric; and it is criminal as the Germans assert, for Americans to interfere. What, then, are we fighting for? We are fighting because we hold that the Pan-German premise Is false and that the Pan-German doc trine of life which they are trying to impose by force on the rest of the world is destructive of all that is most dear to us in civilization: because we hold that international neighborliness and not war is a bio logical necessity; that the strong are not to destroy but to protect the weak; that military organization is not the master but the servant of the civil power.

The services during the day were in charge of the Rev. George W. Enders, of York, which made his eighteenth year as chairman. Eloquent addresses were made by the Rev. Dr. Victor Tressler, president of the general synod, who spoke on "The Reformation and the Bible," while the ReV. George S. Bow ers, D. D.. of the United Synod, South, and the Rev.

Bank Director Asked to Resign For Signing Bond Waynesboro, Pa., July 27.—A storm of protest was raised at Lemasters when it was found that D. H. Nei klrk, vice-president of the reorganized bank, had signed the bond of Enos D. Myers, the defaulting cashier of the now defunct Lemasters Bank, and at a meeting of the directorate his res ignation was asked for. The resigna tion was immediately presented and formally accepted. Mr. Neikirk is a heavy stockholder of the Peoples Bank and is a wealthy farmer of the Lemasters district. There has been considerable feeling aroused because of the large sums of money lost by the transactions of the defaulting I cashier and the directorate deemed it wise to ask for the resignation of Mr. Neikirk.
