EVERY MAN TO HAVE CHANCE UNDER the plan worked out by Secretary of the Common wealth Woods and Adjutant General Beary and for which com missioners will be named by Gov ernor Brumbaugh, every Pennsylva*- nian in the National Guard organl-l zations, in the cantonments of the drafted men and in the student offi cers' training camps will have a chance to vote for candidates for the fficers training camps will have a and may also write in the name of any one he may desire. The sys tem is the most complete ever de vised in the State to enable sol diers to vote. All that a soldier needs to do is to see that his tax Is paid and write down names. The State is doing the rest. It would have given regulars and sailors a chance if it had been possible. Mr. Woods directed the taking of the votes of the soldiers of the Penn sylvania division at El Paso last year. It was the second time since the Civil War that such procedure had to be followed and after the law had been expounded by Attorney Gen eral Brown Mr. Woods evolved apian whereby every soldier got a chance ' to vote and Governor Brumbaugh personally thanked by many for the consideration shown. This year the problem is much greater, but for weeks the means of giving every soldier a chance have been studied, even to arranging for men to go with troops from the Keystone State no matter where they may be on land or sea when Novem ber 6 rolls around. Books of nomi nations, forms of ballots, poll books, everything has been provided and the Pennsylvania soldier who is en titled to vote will have his oppor tunity, no matter how many miles away he may be. Colonel Finney certainly chose the right man when he detailed Captain Henry M. Stlne to take subscriptions for Liberty Bonds in the Eighth Regi ment. A LESSON FOR US CAPTAIN HENRY M. STINE wires the Telegraph that the old Eighth Regiment at Camp Hancock, exclusive of the officers, expects to subscribe SIOO,OOO to tho second Liberty Loan issue. What do you think of that, Mr. Citizen, who may be debating whether or not you can Invest fifty dollars in a bond? If poorly paid soldiers, who might be excused both by reason of their income and the fact that they are to do the fighting, are going to put their money Into bonds, how can YOU withhold your contribution? Surely, there is a lesson in this loyal, patriotic response of the Eighth Regiment men for all of us. You can have fun at a chestnut party if there in not a chestnut with in miles—providing the right girl Is along. THE GULF OF RIGA CAMPAIGN. WE NEED not be too greatly disturbed by German activi ties in the Gulf of Riga. Their military significance with relation to the final outcome of the war is nil. Two factors probably have entered into the decision of Germany to eh ter upon this campaign. The Ger man public needs a change of news diet. It is about "fed up" on allied successes and German victories are essential If discontent ■4s to be al layed. There can be nothing of the kind in Belgium or along the French front, where the initiative has passed definitely and finally to the Allies. The British fleet and fear of internal dissension unite to keep the bulk of the German great seas fleet tied up behind Helgoland. The Balkans possess difficulties that grow with the preparations of Greece for war. The demoralized Russian front alone remains, and Riga is the most vul nerable point, and so It is Riga that has been chosen for a fresh demon stration of the power of Gorman arms —a demonstration designed just to quell revolution and inspire confi dence at home, and, aecond, to drive TUESDAY EVENING, Russia toward a separate peace or mar her plans for military prepara tion during tho winter season. As to the eventual effect, It is self evident that Germany's man-power and her resources are on the wane. The more sho spends of both along the eastern front the less she will have with which to face the Allies In the west next spring. The deeper she goes Into Russia, therefore, the more desperate her plight in France. In the long run the Allies, and not Germany, will be victors in the Riga drive. We suppose, in return for safe-con duct for Von Bernstorff, Germany would grant President Wilson safe conduct, If he chose to visit Europe— not. ' THE WORLD'S SERIES HE "world's series" has been played and the championship decided. In countless newspa pik cfllces/all over the land weary news and sporting editOHS are thank ing the little gods of baseball that a seventh game was not re quired. For the newspapfefc a world's series comes well up in tho category of necessary evils—along with inter national yacht races, Big-Four foot ball contests, the day after election and similar events requiring, extra editions and additional expenses. The Telegraph, as usual, led in the Central Pennsylvania field. After all the games it was first off the press with the fufK scores, and when the games were played in New York all Harrlsburg readers and where trains permitted—all nearby town subscribers were given t}>e full score. No other evening newspaper in the Central Pennsylvania field could do this, for none has the Associated Press franchise to provide the news nor the mechanical equipment with which to deliver it promptly to its readers. Telegraph readers got all the base ball news and they got it first, and just byway of good measure they were given an exclusive account Sat urday evening of the opening of the Russian drive in the Gulf of Riga. Henry VanDyke calls the Kaiser "a werewolf," which, we think, is play ing it low down on the helpless were wolf. CITY" SHOULD HONOR THEM SOME day very soon, around about October 27, the colored citizenry of Harrisburg and Dauphin county will be called upon to deliver their quota of selected men to the defense of the nation. They will go to join their white brethren in arms at Camp Meade. The day they < depart should witness another such patriotic display as marked the de- : parture of previous draft delegations. These young colored men are deserv ing of all honor. They go forth to fight for the flag that freed their fathers, and for which many of their ancestors died. Let us see to it that a grateful public shows them proper respect. LET HARRISBURG I"NITE THE city of Harrlsburg should by all means participate In a for mal manner in the proposed planting of a tree for each governor of Pennsylvania when the ceremony that will mark the start of beautifl cation of Capitol Park takes place on the historic Hill on the morning of Arbor. Day. Harrisburg will be a partner with the Commonwealth in tho great improvements which are to be made in the public domain about the State House. Harrisburg will be called to make considerable expenditure for its part in the en terprise. Harrisburg will make its plans for future development con form to the comprehensive scheme that will make the State Capitol the local point of a great park sj'stem. Harrisburg will be the center of all State roads in time. The municipal authorities should arrange to plant trees from the city nurseries at the Island, which have been very successfully operated, along the lines that will be part of the metropolitan park system in the ( years to come, and to have a sturdy ; specimen placed in the Capitol Park ( for Harrisburg. < i PASS THIS ORDINANCE. DOUBTLESS the Dunkie ordi- J nance for a separate ash and , barbarge collection bureau will | be passed by the City Council with little or no opposition. At ! all events it ought to be. For too . Jong collection of the city's refuse i has been regarded a* a mere inci- ] dehtal to the conduct of a sacjly over- ' worked Health Board, and just so i long as that condition is permitted 1 to continue will the public be poorly served. • Responsibility for strict conformity ; to rules should be charged to one individual. The contractor and the public alike should be made to com ply strictly with regulations and pun ishment for violations is a requisite to the proper working out of this system. In passing, it may be re marked that .not all the blame for the deplorabre failures of the past few years can be laid at the door Of the contractors, remiss though they have been. The Dunkie ordinance is designed to fix responsibility and to assess penalties. No permanent success can be attained in any other way. A GREAT INVESTMENT IT is not often that tho oppor tunity is afforded to make a good Investment and perform a pa triotic service at one and the same time. But, when you buy a Liberty Bond you do both of these. When you own a Liberty Bond you are possessed of fifty dollars Just as really as though it were in five dollar bills. But you have more than that, for ten five dollar bills kept in your strong box will bo fifty dollars a year from now, but a fifty dollar bond will be worth $52, and you can spend the two and still have the fifty. Ybu will have even more than that, for above the money value you will place the extreme personal satisfac tion of having handed the Katoer a SSO belt over the nose. TolCttct LK By the Ex-Committee man President Judge George -Cunkel. of the Dauphin county court, will probably hand down a decision with In a day or BO In the proceedings! to enjoin Secretary of tho Common wealth Woods from certifying to Philadelphia and Schuylkill count ies tho names of the four highest candidates for Judge In certain in stances. This proceeding, which was argued here yesterday, is to obtain a new Interpretation on the nonpartisan judicial nomination law in regard to how to compute the fifty one per cent of the vote necessary to make a m.tn a solo nominee. The decisions will not only affect the Philadelphia or phans court and common pleas No. 5 and Schuylkill common p'eas, but Montour and other counties whero f'fij-e are two associate judges to be and where there are controversies *>ver the votes.

The lower court refused to grant the injunction, but the de cree of the Supreme Court sustained Noecker. The opinion of the Supreme Court states that judicial apportion ment acts are to be passed at desig nated sessions and the sessions next following the taking of the decennial census is the one designated by law for the passage of such acts. —The Fifth ward murder case was made the dominant note in the ora tory at a meeting of the Philadelphia Kepublican City Committee yester day, with John R. K. Scott, Vare leader, charging that the arrest of Mayor Smith and the others who were taken into custody with the New York gunmen was a "frame up" to discredit the Republican party leadership in this city. Mr. Scott went so far as to attack District At torney Samuel P. Rotan, whom the meeting subsequently unanimously indorsed as a candidate to succeed himself. Senator Edwin H. Vare predicted the election of the full Re publican ticket. He said that five of the twelve members on the commit tee of the Town Meeting party were not entitled to vote. He named Thomas F. Armstrong, Rudolph Blankenburg, Arthur H. Lea, Theo J. Lewis and John C. Winston, whom, he charged, had not registered. —City Chairman Lane described the Town Meeting party movement as a "manifestation of the emotional and prejudical part of the commun ity," and said that the only support It was likely to receive was from the "emotional, credulous, or impres sionable." He advised the Republi can city committee and the Repub lican ward committee, however, not to underestimate the "opposition," but to wage a determined fight against what he termed the "so called independents." —Complete fusion with the Town Meeting party on the Philadelphia city ticket, and practically complete fusion In all of the debatable wards on councilmanic nominations was forecasted at a meeting of the Phila delphia Democratic city committee. While no formal action was taken regarding the city nominations, the dominating forces in the committee are authority for the statement that the Democratic nominees for district attorney, receiver of taxes, register of wills and city treasurer will with draw in the interest of the indepen dent movement, and that there will be a special meeting of the Demo cratic city committee called, which will then nominate the candidates of the Town Meeting party in their place. LABOR NOTES The navy yards and arsenals wAge committee, made up of representa tives of the Federal Departments of War, Navy and Labor, has revised wages paid in arsenals and navy yards. The increases in maximum rates average nearly 10 per cent. Nearly 300 more industrial acci dents were reported to the Minnesota State Department of Labor and In dustries during' August than during July. The total for the month was 2,926, of which 496 were serious and 2,430 were minor. Secretary of War Baker has noti fied the Adjutant General of the Armv to instruct all department com manders that children under 14 years of age are not to be employed at gov ernment forts, posts or other reser vations. To take over and operate them selves the property and plant of the company by which they have been employed, and by which they are still owed $7,000 in wages, is the un usual suggestion made to the Cana dian Minister of Mines by the work men of the Island Coal and Coko Company of Nicola Valley, Canada. The government report for the month of July. 1916, prepared by the Department of Labor and In dustry for New South Wales, indi cates that the law has not prevented strikes, but that it has enabled the governmental machinery, operating through the courts, to punish strik ers If this is deemed advisable. England is experiencing the' evil effects of relaxed standards In wom en's labor. Hundreds of women workers In England who have been over-stimulated to effort, wh,o have worked 12 hours instead of 8, and on Sundays as well as week-days, are showing the effects of their work. The govemment-owend rallrlrfds of New South Wales were recently tied up because of an attempt to enforce the American discredited "Taylor" system on employes. Over 7,000 en gineers, firemen and metal workers suspended work after-the govern ment refused to submit the question to an impartial tribunal. Our Enemies WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST Dully Articles During the Liberty I.oan Cnmpnign By NEWELL DWIGHT HIM,IS No. II THe roots of this war go back t( 1860. At that time, Bismarck was the outstanding figure in Berlin. Germany was then an agri cultural nation, having little manu facturing life. She had 40,000,000 of people, 130,0000,000,000 of prop erty, and a second-rate position in Europe. In 1860 England led Ger many in the production of pigiron, steel, cotton goods, woolen goods, the building of ships. Germany lacked good coking coal and hematite iron ore that are necessary to good steel, and without steel there was no Indus trial future for Germany. Two courses were open to Bis marck: One was to accept an infe rior sphere of influence for the little German states, and the other was to foment two wars and wrest away, by military force, coal treasures from Austria and later the iron mines of France found in Alsace Lorraine. Spreading out his plan before the Prussian King, Bismarck organized Germany into a standing army, and told his officers that for the time be irtg "Germany's chief national indus try must be war." No one ever accused Bismarck, the statesman and diplomat, of having a muddy mind. He made the advan tages of war to be seen, lying out in the sunshine. His argument ran thus: Farming pays six per cent, manufacturing eight per cent, bank ing ten per cent, but, viewed as an investment, war should pay a thous and per cent! The war with Den mark made possible the Kiel Canal and access to the North Sea, and it paid far more than Bismarck's thous and per cent. The war in 1866 with Austria paid five thousand per cent, through conquered coal resources. Then Bismarck planned his great move—to steal the iron mines of France. He tells us In his Memoirs that he forged one sentence in the French Emperor's telegram, and thus threw the burden of the declaration of war upon France; and, returning from his victorious campaign, he brought back to Berlin a billion dol- KAISER'S REFLECTION President Wilson has dlsclaimedl any purpose to dictate to the people' of Germany what kind of govern ment they shall have, but if we were the kaiser we would not draw too much comfort from that. The President said pretty much the same thing to the people of Mexico not so very long ago. He had no purpose to dictate ,to them what kind of government they should have either. Nty. of course, did he. He thought the people of Mexico should have the freest hand in settll'ix their own affairs and should be left to decide for themselves what man they wanted for president. But, at the same time, he could not help feeling that Huerta was not the man they wanted. lie felt sure that if they thought the matter over carefully they would feel .the same way. It is a remarkable in stance of the force of second thought, that, although tho people of Mexico had apparently decided that they wanted Huerta, they no .sooner had received this assurunco from President Wilson tha; their right of free choice would not be denied them than they decided they didn't want him. The circumstance is one that. If we were the kaiser, would make that presidential about dictating to Germany a very un comfortable matter to reflect upon. —Kansas City Star. DIFFERENT METHODS The prison visitor on his usual rounds noticed that a new man occu pied a cell that had been empty for some time. "My friend." he began, "may I ask whnt brought vou here?" "The some thing that brought you here." replied the convict: "n desire to poke my nose Into other people's business, only I generally used to go In by the basement window. Case and Comment. lars in gold, and also, what was far richer, the title deeds to Alsace and Lorraine. In that hour, it became possible for Germany to produce the high-grade steel out of the newly conquered coal and Iron. Great steel plants were established, plates were rolled for the North German Lloyd and the Hamburg American lines and for the 42 centimeter 2guns. Within 30 years, Germany passed England, first in the production of pigiron, second of steel third In dier. I have myself, in Cologne, chemical industries, fourth in toys and fifth in industrial efficiency. Plainly, the Franco-Prussian War paid Germany ten thousand per cent on her investment! Germany's military success went, like wood alcohol, to the head of her people. The German officer became the hero of men and women. The army took control of the Fatherland. In the social world, the officer was the leader. At a banquet, who took precedence and walked at the head of the company to the seat of honor at the guest table? Not th®. states man. not the university professor, not the artist or author, not the banker or manufacturer, but the sol seen a banquet held up for an hour because the colonel had not arrived. Finally a private was found to rep resent the army and walk In with the chairman, to the guests' table. Obsessed with the notion of military euperiority, Germany be came one vast military camp. The motto became: "Let Belgium produce wealth, we will grab it." "Let France paint pictures, carve marbles, weave silks, and produce jewels, Germany can steal them." "Let England pile up treasures, we will hoist a black flag on the submarine and spoil her of her goods." "Anything that Ger many does is right." At last, all the weapons were ready and Germany's soldiers stood like a burglar, with his pistol, his bomb-shell and his fire brand, before the treasure-house of Europe, ready to prove that "war is Germany's chief national Industry." PERSHING LAFAYETTE Speaking of phrases, when General Pershing visited Lafayette's tomb re cently, a large numbe^ - of French-J men gathered to see and hear the American commander. Pershing had not planned to speak. IJu t after three generations the French dramatic spirit asserted itself, and Joining hands with western matter-of-fact ness, caused the General to utter this tremendously simple oration. "Well, Lafayette, here we are!" No won der men and women sobbed aloud. And if we may be allowed a harm less prophecy, General Pershing has made a phrase that will go down with those school-history sayings of Grant, Farragut, Dewey and John Paul Jones. —The Nation's Business.

BUSINESS AND WAR Despite that fact that for more than a century the United States has tyeen developing a civilization which flowers in peace, when the crisis came, the heads of great finan cial and business interests forgot all differences and placed the matchless resources of this couitry at the disposal of President Wilson. Secretary of War| Baker,' who spoke before the Chamber of Com merce in this city recently toll of some of the accomplishments made possible through the co-ooeration of the Council for National De fense. In the old days, said Mr. Baker, when the quartermaster of the Army needed supplies, he took his market basket upon his arm and went from store to store, pur chasing supplies as needed. In September, the Government re quisitioned over 11,000,000 voolen blankets for Army use. Shoes, coats and stockings are purchased by the tens of millions instead of by hundreds of thousands. Despite the unusual needs at home and he fact that railroad facilities have been strained almost to the break ing point, when our soldiers ar rived in France they found jive times the amount of supplies, guns and ammunition needed. HE STRUCK A mud-bedraggljsd Tommy was plodding wearily toward the base when a subaltern stopped him. "Do you know that your regiment is in the front line now? Why aren't you there?" he asked. "Well, sir," the Tommy explained, "we were just going over the top when the officer shouted: 'Strike.for home and glory, lads'.' All the oth ers struck for glory, but I struck for home."—London Answers.
