FAREWELL AND GOD-SPEED ANOTHER contingent of Harrls burg troops tramped away to day in response to the call of the nation—Truck Company No. 6 of the Ammunition Supply Train. At its head marched its organizer and commander. Lieutenant Harry A. Souders. And in this the TELE GRAPH takes considerable personal pride, for Lieutenant Souders is a member of the TELEGRAPH Fam ily, a loyal, energetic, capable young man. To him and to the young men who went away with him the TELE GRAPH, speaking for all the people of Harrisburg, bids farewell and God-speed, with wishes and prayers for a safe and triumphant return. Pride and sorrow are mingled as the youth and flower of the city's life line themselves up on the side of democracy, risking limb and life at the call of freedom. THE BUTTE LYNCHING IF ever there was an excuse for punishing lawlessness by lynch ing, it was in the t-ecent hanging at Butte, Mont., of an I. W. W. leader, who had dubbed the soldiers of the United States "Uncle Sara's scabs" and had indulged in a speech highly treasonable and totally pro- German. The law has been entirely too lenient with this I. W. "W. crowd and others suspected of being in the pay of the Kaiser. The example of ■ Eutte carried out in a few other places, inexcusable and wrong though lynching is, would do much toward bringing to a quick conclu sion the propaganda of anarchism and treason that has been rampant of late throughout the county and which has been permitted to go un noticed in large measure by the De partment of Justice. It would be well if some of the editors of German language publi cations in the United States made their homes in Bute. These gentry are of the same stripe as the I. W. W. member strung up out there. They border on treason In every issue. They should be suppressed, one and all, and their publishers placed in concentration campc for the period of the war. Nearly every German newspaper in the United States is an adder in the bosom of the nation. DON'T FEED THE TRAMPS JOHN' YATES, head of the Asso ciated Aids, warns the people of Harrisburg against the feeding of numerous tramps who apply for as sistance. These he says, are loafers. They do not want work. Many or them pose as being sick and unable to labor. Refer all such to the Asso ciated Aids, where, if they are telling the truth, they will receive medical attention. There Is work for every man who will work, with hundreds of Jobs go lng begging. Mr. Yates has places open for more men than he can find. The farmers about town also are ready to take on anybody whom he sends them. The tramps who beg at your back door do not want work. They want to live at your expense. There is no place in the economy of things as they now exist for drones. Starve them into seeking the work they loath. To share ycur hard earned food with them is to do your self an injustice and the country a wrong. IIAVETX)ST THEIR "PUNCH" THE fighting in the Champaign and in Flanders is not decisive save in one respect—in both sectors it has been shown conclu sively that the Germans have lost their "punch." The French have thrown back repeatedly with heavy losses the tremendous attacks of the Crown Prince and have been able even to advance in the face of the German offensive. The Germans have lost heavily in men and mu nitions and have paused*" for""the moment with the French line nearer Germany than when the fighting be gan. In Flanders the English have swept the country for miles in the first rush of the new offensive and the Germans counter-attacking have )teen hurled back even at points where for the moment they were able by the force of superior num bers to push themselves into first line trenches. The superiority on the West front. where the war will be decided, is distinctly with the allies. Germany cannot gain there and the allies have (demonstrated that whenever they FRIDAY EVENING. are ready they can knock a fresh hole or two In the lines of their foes. The process Is costly, to be sure, but far more costly to Germany than to the allies, with their ever-growing man-power and no end of munitions. The first answer of Britain to the U-boat threat has been an attack on a vaster scale than ever before and a big push In the direction of Ostend and Zeebruge, the great submarine bases of the Germans. The U-boat has not done the task assigned it and never will. The end of the war is still far in the future, but with America's fighting forces growing like a snowball as they roll along the end Is as certain as though al ready at hand. DOING THEIR PART NE of the most gratifying fea /"\ tures of the Capitol Park ex tension development is the hearty manner in which the vari ous public service corporations have entered into their part of the Im provement. „ The changes incident to the pur chase of the properties and the aban donment of streets in the extension zone have caused these corporations to spend thousands of dollars with out a penny of return or the hope of profit. The Bell Telephone Com pany, the Cumberland Valley Tele phone Company, the Harrlsburg Gas Company, the Harrlsburg Railways Company and the Harrlsburg Light and Power Company all are co operating most heartily in the re-1 moval of unnecessary overhead wires and the placing of necessary cables urider ground. The various corpo rations mentioned gave up hundreds of customers when the old Eighth j ward district was wiped out and the j traction company rendered back to the city very valuable franchises which had been granted to it per petually. In addition, the companies main taining overhead wires along the streets abutting the park zone are either removing them or are plan ning to do so. The poles are coming down and the thoroughfares will be freed of unsightly encumbrances long before the State completes its part of the program. This is the right spirit. It is an attitude which wins public approval. All public utilities, depending as they do upon public patronage for their | support, are beginning to understand that their own prosperity hinges largely upon their intelligent and generous discharge of reciprocal obligations. There was a time when corporations enjoying' public fran chises did not recognize this and much of the hard feeling that has arisen between the people and the companies has been due to a refusal to acknowledge undoubted public rights. That Harrisburg utility man agers have joined with the people in their efforts to beautify the park zone is a most encouraging sign. TIJE WRONG OF CENSORSHIP GEORGE CREEL'S latest instruc tions to newspapers—which, of course, reflect the attitude of the administration regarding th< publication of war news—clearly Indicate that those at Washington are trying desperately to bring about a condition whereby they will be able to Impose the rigid censorship which up to this time has been denied by Congress. In the light of this there is particular interest In the address of Pomeroy Burton, managing editor of the London Daily Malt, before the international convention of Rotary Clubs in Atlanta recently, in which he blamed the close censorship of the Allies for the slowness of the Ameri can people to realize they are at war. Mr. Burton said: The reason for this strange lethargy In the face of national peril is mainly two-fold. First, the allies' policy of close censor ship, which 1 regard n.i a stupid policy and always have, has re sulted in keeping the full flow of war facts and a reasonable under standing of the worst develop ments from reaching the people of the world, a policy which hae already cost countless thousands of lives and untold treasure and a policy which I earnestly hope will not be repeated here. And that Is the very kind of a cen sorship into which the newspapers of the country will be plunged if the authorities have their way. This Is what Mr. Burton thinks ought to be done: Reverse this policy of secrecy. Let the people at home have these and other true pictures of the war an it really is, and I firmly believe that the response would be elec trical, particularly here. The peo ple of the United States would rouse as one man to their task, fired with patriotic fervor born of a full and true understandig of what this war mean* to them and their future, of the individual ob ligations it imposes upon those at home as well as upon those who are constantly facing death for the sake of those at home! Now this, it seems to me, is of para mount importance, in view of the circumstances which exist to-day, clearly indicating that as this great country organizes for war or slowly well or badly, earnestly or haltingly, so will the end of this war be soon or long in coming- foUUc* IK By the Ex-Commlttecman Auditor General Charles A. Sny der has gone to the seashore for the week-end and the papers In the mandamus proceedings brought against him by the four state offi cials have not yet been served upon him. Mr. Snyder said before going to the seaside that his answer would depend upon the petition which he had not yet seen. The answer is re turnable on August 13 and it is ex pected In spite of the delay In serv ing the papers that it will be ready in time. Whether Mr. Snyder will start an action on his own account to in quire by what right the four offi cials assume to exercise the duties of the offices is to be determined later on. It is now being seriously dis cussed, but whether it will be start ed before determination of the pres ent action, which involves claims to pay by officials classed as "ad in terim" appointments rather than right to hold office as a clear cut proposition or not will be settled soon. —The Democratic state executive committee will probably be called for a meeting early In September to name a candidate for Congress in the Twenty-eighth district which is the only one to hold a special election this year. The Democrats are await ing the result of the conferences go ing on among the Republicans of the district before making a choice. Un der the Democratic rules the execu tive committee fills all vacancies. —The Philadelphia Pj;ess, which has been more or less favorable to the reorganization wing of the Dem ocratic state organization, says: "A lively contest in the Democratic ranks is beginning over the magis terial candidates to be supported. There are seven vacancies to be filled at the November election and the Democrats and Republicans each will make four nominations. The terms of two Democrats expire, those of William Eisenbrown and E. K. Borle. They are candidates for renomina tion. In addition there are the for mer magistrates, John J. Grells, Wil liam H. Belcher, Joseph S. Boyle and James H. Toughill among the many aspirants for nominations. The Don nelly and the Thornton factions in the Old Guard and the Morris and anti-Morris wings in the reorganizer faction are all eager to secure rep resentations and a four-cornered fight is looming up." —The decision of the Vares not to boom a South Philadelphia man l'or city treasurer of the Quaker City and the sort of understanding reach ed in regard to Senator E. W. Pat ton for the place, cause the Phila delphia inquirer to speculate on whether it does nqt mean a revival of the candidacy of William S. Vare for mayor. The Inquirer says: "With the opinion generally prevail ing that District Attorney Samuel P. Rotan, Register of Wills James B. Sheehan and Receiver of Taxes W. Freeland Kendrick will be supported for renomination by practically a united Republican Party organiza tion, the City Treasurership has been looked upon as the only important city nomination in doubt. Besides those enumerated in the South Phil adelphia contingent Senator E. W. Patton. of West Philadelphia, has been prominently mentioned for City Treasurer. Some of his friends claiming to have the support of the Vares have had nomination papers in circulation in Senator Patton's be half and these papers have been numerously signed. Patton's friends yesterday renewed activities in his behalf." —Ex-Speaker John E. Faunce left an estate of SIOO,OOO according to statements filed yesterday. —William Price, Pittsburgh banker and one of the big men of that city, is being strongly boomed as a candidate for mayor of Pitts burgh. He is a member of the board of prison inspectors and declined the city treasurership a short time ago. He is backed by many prominent men. One of the facts about him is that he gives one-tenth of what he makes to religious work. —National Committeeman A. Mitchell Palmer failed to meet the kicking Democratic committee in Philadelphia yesterday and there are some hurt feelings. —James B. Anderson has compli cated things in Philadelphia by com ing out for judge. —Democrats and Washington, party men are attempting to get to gether on Pittsburgh mayoralty. —Councilman G. A. Dillinger, stormy petrel of Pittsburgh politics, is a candidate for renomination. —Mayor Smith has lifted the vice quarantine and ordered arrests on sight. General Crowder We have hitherto refrained from generalizing about the official acts of Brigadier General Enoch H. Crowder, U. S. A., provost marshal general, in the management of the selective draft, because we were curious as to how far he would go and how he would get out of the difficulties that surrounded him. He has now reached a point in his progress at which it is not inopportune to speak frankly of his official conduct. In brief, this has been marked by uncommon capacity, resourcefulness and enterprise. To General Crowder fell the task of improvising machin ery for registration of the young men of the United States for military ser vice, in the application to the nation of a law imposing a new method of performing old duties, arid of devis ing a knave proof and fool proof lot tery which affected the habits and occupations of 10,000,000 individuals directly and five times that number indirectly. He had to guide Uncle Sam's hand as it was put Into prac tically every home in the land. Gen eral Crowder accomplished this ex peditiously and without indicting un necessary confusion on the country. Registration and lottery were con ducted in a manner that left no doubt of their impartiality and fair ness; and General Crowder was so completely prepared against unfore seen emergencies that at the last mo ment he was ready to revise his sys tem to meet, in satisfactory fashion, any new condition that might arise. It may be said that General Crow der had a well disposed population to deal with and competent aids to as sist him. This is true. But the most willing population and the most com petent aids lacking efficient direction, or handicapped by an incapable su perintendent, would have made a sad botch of the enterprise; and if the draft had been botched, General Crowder would have borne the blame for its failure. As it va carried out with success, he deserves the credit. We esteem it a privilege to salute General Crowder as a thoroughly equipped provost marshal general gifted with good sense and executive ability of the first order. If all our military men measure up to the stan dard he has consistently maintained our troubles and sacrifices in the war will be reduced to a minimum.—New York Sun. HARRJSBURG &&&£&.

"iour editorial headed "Shameful" is a very fine one as worded, except ing the last paragraph. If the negroes are at fault, let the law take its course. If they are noi, let them alone. Now in such a case some one should be subject to the law for such an outrage in our State. It is the leniency of the law in many cases of mobs of a class of whites that cause a re-opening of such cases. I would like to read a differ ent ending to such a timely para graph. A STEELTON RESIDENT. H. C. H., Steelton. Tech Students and Draft To the Editor of the Telegraph: There is an imminent matter of vital importance to the American na tion concerning which very little, if anythihg, has been said in the news papers—hence the presentation of this letter, and with it an urgent re quest for its publication in your col umns and, subsequently, for a wide circulation through copying by the public press of the entire country. I refer to the depletion of the classes in technical schools, first, by widespread volunteering for the Army and Navy, and, second, by con scription. This subject received much attention at the Washington meet ing, on the 6th and 7th inst., of the Society For the Promotion of Engi neering Education, an organization of twenty-five years' standing and composed of most of the leading American instructors in all lines of applied science, and also a few prominent practicing engineers. The meeting was addressed by such dis tinguished men as the Secretary of War, the Chief of Engineers of the United States Army, and the Direc tor of the Bureau of Standards. The five sessions held by the society on those two days were devoted almost exclusively to questions of public welfare, principally connected with the war, its subsequent conditions, and its anticipated problems. As I attended all of the sessions from start to finish and took the deepest interest in the entire pro ceedings, I feel justified in making the following statements, and in claiming that they express the opin ions of a number of the most pro found thinkers of America: First. The larger part of the civ ilized world will have to be recon i structed after the war, not exclud ing our own great railroad system, which undoubtedly will have de teriorated on account of over-use and lack of adequate upkeep. Second. Such reconstruction is al most exclusively the work of engi neers. Third. The European technical men have been killed off by thou sands during the past three years; and their slaughter will not cease until the war ends. Moreover, it is more than probable that many American engineers who serve in Europe will never return to our shores, and that a large number of those who do come back will be more or less Incapacitated from ac tive professional work. Fourth. The technical schools of all the other warring countries than ours have practically been out of commission for three yeafs, thus tutting down there, almost to zero, the supply of new men for the engi neering profession. Fifth. The call to arms in this country by both volunteering and conscription It is feared will soon have reduced to about one-half the attendance at the technical schools of the United States, while instead of being halved It ought properly to be doubled. Sixth. In spite of the present paralyzatlon of many lines of engi neering work, due to the cessation of large constructions and to the ab solute lack of capital for Important new projects of a peaceful charac ter, the demand for young graduates of technical schools by the manufac turers of war supplies is so great that there is already a marked dearth of such assistance, which dearth will be more and more ac centuated as the war progresses, and as the call for ships, guns, am munition, aeroplanes, automobiles, and other war paraphernalia in creases. Seventh. Until the United States entered the war. It was almost cer tain that most of the reconstruction work of the world would be done by American engineers, and In any case they are sure to get a fair share of it; but It seems a shame that this country should miss such a golden opportunity as that which lies before It for securing- the lion's share, Eighth. The capacity of the old, experienced, and well-established American engineers for doing work is practically unlimited, provided that there be no shortage of young properly-educated assistants; be cause most technical men of mature years have developed highly the fac ulty of management. On that ac count the average total annual amount of work engineered by such men in this country could readily be increased five fold, or, possibly even ten fold, without causing undue overstress either physical or mental; and, consequently, the great mass of the work of world-reconstruction could emanate from the United States and be handled abroad by American engineers. Ninth. It is beyond question that, for the next ten years or more, engi neering is everywhere going to be the most lucrative of all the profes sions. , From these nine premises what is tlie important deduction to be drawn ? Evidently it is that, by some means or other, we must manage not only to prevent any faWing oft in the attendance at our technical schools both during and directly after the war, but also greatly to increase it. And how can this be done? The answer to this question is not difficult. as follows: First. By urging more young men to go to college, and by persuadmg their parents that it is their duty to send the boys there for the ultimate good of both themselves and the country. Second. By inducing all sub freshmen who have shown any spe cial aptitude for mathematics, me chanics, or chemistry, to take the technical courses. Third. By discouraging the enlist ment into the Army and Navy of all students in technical institutions, but, on the contrary, by encouraging them to remain and graduate, if pos sible. Of course, those who are drafted will have .to serve; for it would, manifestly, be unfair to the rest of the youths of the country to excuse a man from going to the front simply because he is a tech nical student. Such drafted students, however, should generally be sent to the engineer corps, because their services in that branch of the Army would probably be more effective than in any other, and because the training they would receive therein would be likely to serve them in good stead in after years when prac ticing in the engineering profession. Fourth. By granting government aid to those youths of evident special ability in technical lines who are un able to raise the money necessary for a course of instruction. If these four steps be taken, the unique opportunity referred to will not be lost; and this country will then become the leader of the world in activity, effectiveness, and wealth. Let* me, therefore, most earnestly Implore all youths who are ready for college this fall, and who are not In any way linfitted for technical ca reers, to take up some branch of engineering or technology; and let me entreat the parents or guardians of such youths to exert their in fluence so as to induce the boys to choose that line of study for their Jife work. Remember: it is not only for the good of the country that I make this appeal, but also for the ultimate benefit of the young men themselves! Some reader of this communica tion may remark that such an ap peal would possess more force if it were to come from a national engi neering society than when emanat ing from an individual engineer. Very true! But until quite lately there has been no engineering so ciety which draws its membership from all lines of technical activity; and the ' one which is now being formed, viz., the American Academy of Engineers, has not yet received from Congress the national charter for which it has applied. Were that association to-day fully organized and recognized by the government, It assuredly would make such an ap peal as this; and, in my opinion, that appeal would immediately be re sponded to by the nation, for the American people certainly are sens ible enough to heed seriously any words of warning coming from a select body of the most practical men in the land. It is true that such an appeal might readily be made by the old and well-established Society For the Promotion of Engineering Educa tion; but, If so, it would generally fall upon deaf ears, because It would immediately be remarked that the professors were simply trying to re cruit their classes and were "root .lng" tor their schools, .On that as AUGUST 3, 1917. count, at the meeting of the society I refrained from offering a motion to the effect that it officially make this appeal, which I then had in mind. However, the society is going to do what it can to help the profes sion by publishing ■ and circulating widely the speeches of Secretary Baker, Brigadier General Black, and Dr. Stratton hereinbefore referred to. These addresses will corroborate; what I have said in this letter; and I trust that they and my earnest en treaty combined will result in aug menting materially next September the attendance at the technical schools of the United States.

The world's need of food will be as great next year as it is now, If not greater. Soon this year's crops will bo in hand and then distribution and expenditure will begin. Before that time is reached Michigan and the United States ought to be fall-plow ing every available acre and laying by in store seed for next spring. Fall plowing is usually done now adays only for winter wheat sowing. And there ought to be a greater acreage of wheat sown this autumn than ever before in American history, with the double stimulus of certain high prices and great demand. But in an earlier day many farmers plo\ ed fields in the fall and harrowed them In the spring for corn, potatoes and other crops. The practice ought to be revived and pushed by organ ized effort. Next spring may be like last spring, too wet for plowing. But if the plowing is done this fall the wet spring that may be can be to some extent overcome. And to aid in this particular, attention can be given to drainage this season. OUR DAILY LAUQH A HE ESCAPED f REPROOF. Does your wife enjoy her whist club? Can't say but I do.
