the editor and they will be placed before thousands of other house
wives. 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.

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. Cummlngs, a young American
who has won the British Distin
guished Service Order. A delightful
sketch of Hudson Maxim and a let
ter from F. W. Zinn, an American
boy at war, are other features.
Mark Tidd, the remarkable fat
boy, breaks In with a big laugh in
the first installment of a new serial
by C. B. Kelland. Among other flc
tional top-notchers are the whimsi
cal "Devilfisherman," by T. S. Strib
ling; "The Fortune of War," a stir
ring tale by Walter Scott Story;
"Corporal May Pick a Strange Re
cruit," a timely story by Charles
Tenney Jackson; the movie thriller
story, "Putting in the Punch," by
Harold Titus; and George M. John
son's clever story. "Cecil's Goat,"
The August table of contents also
enumerates other red-blooded stor
ies and interesting and practical arti
cles, which are what every real
American boy wants and neeo.

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.

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

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.

Bank Director Asked to
Resign For Signing Bond

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

it wise to ask for the resignation of
Mr. Neikirk.
