OCTOBER 20, 1917 Praise loudly, blame softly.— CATHERINE 11. TO BE EXPECTED ANNOUNCEMENT that an Amer ican transport—returning—was sunk by a German torpedo, with the loss of seventy lives, sends a thrill of liorror through American T>reasts. But whatever other feel ings it may engender, there should | be neither amazement nor j The wonder is that so many trans- 1 ports have been able to make the j trip In safety, considering the swarm | of U-boats that have been constantly : on the watch for them. Rather, this I one loss should emphasize the vig- j ilance of the Navy and the efficiency j of the convoys. There will be other sinkings, doubtless, and we shall be fortunate if our losses are no greater. Instead of striking terror, however, these U-boat outrages only make Ameri cans more determined to blot the murderous Huns and their satanic j devices forever from the seas. "A calorie is equivalent to the amount of heat sufficient to raise the temperature of 6ne pint of water four degrees Fahrenheit." says a scientific note, and according to that some of the coal we are now getting must contarin about two calories to the ton. I GAME PRESERVES. FROM what has been reported to the State Game officials andj from what is said by people llv- j ing in the vicinity of the State's game preserves these establishments have proved their value and at the same time have furnished the sports- j men who have paid their money for licenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars with more game than the State has known in a decade. Ac cording to what is heard here there' are more deer, more wild turkeys, j more rabbits and more quail, with possible exception of the latter in some sections, and it will be a pretty poor sportsman who does not get aj shot. \V hen the preserves were estab-1 lished out of State forest reserva-j tions, which Dr. Kalbfus got the For- ! estry department to lend to the; Game Commission, there were some I citizens who tore down the wires' and notices and who hunted as they' saw fit. After they had been well' fined and some jailed they began to realize that the State meant businers and that the preserves were not to be used by rich men and fellows with "pull," buw that they were to be| closed at all times. The result has' been that the men who used to J swear about the preserves now swear by them and are ready to help stop poachers and those who do not care a rap for the game laws. There are now twenty preserves, with eight more contemplated. Ona' of these may be located in our own county and one in Schuylkill. It is : to be hoped that more will be laid out, as the commission now has au thority to lease land. The game pre serve is no longer an experiment. It is a success. Speaking of short measure—how : about the makers of some of these ankle-length skirts? HELP IT ALONG THROUGH the efforts of the Y. M. C. A., the Red Cross and the Knights of Columbus, the ar mies we are now assembling in six teen great camps meet under more wholesome, more uplifting and safer conditions than any army ever as sembled upon the face of this planet, declared Secretary of War Baker, upon the occasion of his address at ihe "War Meeting" of the Chamber of Commerce, in Harrisburg. Thousands of mothers have writ ten to the Secretary of War, telling him that they gave their sons cheer fully to be killed or maimed in the cause of freedom, but begged him to save their boys from those name less things which have been asso r elated with camp life in the past. Conditions are said to be such in the U. S. Army camps to-day that mothers need have no anxiety, and every American should take pride in an accomplishment that stands alone iij the history of nations. These conditions were brought about not by arbitrary restrictions, SATURDAY EVENING, but by purity processes evolved and endorsed by the leading colleges and universities of the country. "And the country is for It," said the Secretary, with a quick smile. "We went the limit, but the country was 'there' before we were." As * practical illustration of how the Y. M. C. .A. plan works. Secre tary Baker said that at Charlotte, S. C. t eighteen thousand big, warm hearted boys from the great cattle country in Montana have been adopt ed into aristocratic Southern homes. It is no unusual sight to see the cattle men sitting around the tables, playing with the children, and re garded quite as members of the family." The Charlotte Chamber of Com merce reports that not one arrest has been made and not a single act of rudeness has been reported. It is to help the Y. M. C. A. con tinue this kind of work that the latest campaign for funds is to be coitducted. The Kaiser has Just been presented with another granddaughter. And here's hoping there Is nothing in the theory of heredity. Ol'R SHARE OF IT . HARRISBURG has done admir ably in all matters affecting preparation for this country's part in the war and there is no doubt that the second Liberty Loan drive next week will still, further em phasize the patriotism and self sacrifice of our people. • Donald McCormick and William Jennings, chairmen of the district and county committees, respectively, have enlisted the co-operation of bankers and business men and peo ple generally throughout thi9 terri tory to such extent that they look confidently to a satisfactory conclu sion of the canvass next week. Both chairmen have given much of their time to the organization of the work and the interest in the second loan is rising with every hour. The people are at last realizing that the funds necessary to conduct the war are quite as important as ammunition and men. When we un derstand what has been done with relation to the raising of the sinews of war by other countries we shall; not hesitate to contribute to the limit | for the vigorous prosecution of the struggle, to the end that it may be brought to a speedy and satisfactory termination; Commenting upon the patriotism of other of our allies the New York Sun says: The United States Consul Gen- j eral at Auckland has just r?- j ported the results of New Zea land's latest war loan. It amounted to $55,398,000, with interest at 4 per cent. The loan was oversub scribed by $19,466,000 within a period of fourteen days, nor was business upset in the process of floating it. The population of New Zealand. j excluding aborigines, is 1,100,000; I exactly," 1,099.295 by the census of October 15, 1916. The loan sub scription was over $77,000,000. That means a S7O per capita sub scription. A per capita subscription to the second Liberty Loan in the con tinental United States of equal amount —$70 for each man. woman and child—would foot up to $7,000,000,000; and bonds would be issued for $5,000,000,000. an amount exceeding Great Britain's Victory Ix>an and establishing a new world's record. Few expect such a subscription to the second Liberty Loan, and yet; Why shouldn't we do pro portionately as well as New Zea- New 'Zealand has raised, includ ing this last loan. $199,526,500 for war purposes, entirely of her own free will. Great Britain sup plied $68,131,000 of this amount, but the New Zealanders them selves furnished the remaining $131,000,000. or nearly $l2O pet capita. The same sum per capita in this country would mean 512,- 000 000,000 put into Liberty bonds. We shall subscribe that and more if the war lasts, and in less time than New Zealand, but that countjy's wonderful offering of $77,000,000 in fourteen days is something to think about. Can we match it with $7,000,000,000 in the days left before the close of subscriptions? Atscr a study of these figures no one can fail to appreciate the duty of our own great and prosperous country at this time. There is no room left for argument as to the part we should take in the final drive against the Prussian menace. Every citizen of Harrisburg and this part of Pennsylvania should he prepared to co-operate with the workers in making the second loan a great'suc cess and thereby still further break down the power of our enemies over seas. Through the active co-operation of the police department offenders against traffic regulations are being brought to book. Arrests are being constantly made of those who violate the cutout prohibition, and the users of glaring headlights are also being arrested with great frequency. Stiff fines are Imposed at police headquar ters, and the continuance of this policy is bound to have Us efTect upon the careless and indifferent noise makers of the city. ''FTROGRAD FOIt BERLIN TIE Germans are making a great show of trying to get to Petro grad. Maybe they will get there, although the chances are they will not. Perhaps it may come down to the point where the allies will be in position to trade Berlin for Petro grad. Certainly, the advance on Petrograd by the Germans isn't much faster than the allied advance on Berlin. And Berlin in allied hands will mean the end of the war, but Petrograd In German hands only means fresh sacrifice of German troops and more outpouring of Ger man treasure. Petrograd would be as worthless to the Kaiser as Mos cow was to Napoleon. WI ST SHORE'S FINE EXAMPLE WEST SHORE school officials have set a fine example for the remainder of the community. The food they save by inducing their pupils to waste no grain during the Hallowe'en festival will feed many mouths this winter. But better than that la the lesson brought home to each boy and girl of the value of foodstuffs and the necessity of con serving, not only in the present crisis, but at all times. , The Kaiser is in Constantinople, probably to see whether the Sultan the Uermans have Armenlanized Bel the Germans have Armeniaized Bel gium HPofccttCO. uv By the Ex-Committeeman Appointment of commissioners to tako the votes of the Fennsylvan ians in the various Army camps has been held up because of uncertainty as to where the men will bo on election day. Word has come* here of Impending movements of some units of the National Guard and al so of transfers of drafted men antf until they are verified and definite information received as to where they will be the Governor will prob ably not act. Everything Js in readiness to hand to the Pommissioners as soon as named and they will lie called here for instruction. It is the plan to have every county taken care of. Auditor General Charles A. Sny der has apparently decided to wait until next week before deciding what to do in the form of his exceptions to the decision in the "recess ap pointments" case. He will either file objections and have them argued in the Dauphin county court or file an appeal to the supreme court. —Appointment of A. Mitchell Palmer as custodian of alien prop erty is regarded as taking him out of the, possible gubernatorial list of the Democrats. One by ono emi nent Democrats of the machine clique are showing a disposition to take federal jobs and to hold to them. —The Philadelphia Press says editorially of the Kunkel decision in the "recess appointments" case: The refusal of the Senate to confirm the Governor's nominees does not disfranchise the latter or exclude them from any public office to which they were before eligible. Perhaps the Constitution ought to do this, but as a matter of fact it has no such provision. • • • rejected nominees were as eligible as any one else, and the Governor therefore, appointed them, which the court says is within his right. This is not a new proceeding, but if it is wrong the remedy is to amend' the Constitution and not for one man to try all by himself to make it bet ter than it is." • TL The Phila delphia situation was ther complicated yesterdav by a move to test the right of the Town Meeting people to nominate candi dates. This action was taken bv the \are people and one of the rea sons is the unusual allegation that the people engineering the Town Meeting party exhausted their rights to make nominations at the primary. This is the first time such a con tention has been made and if sus tained would have the effect of block ing independent movements which the law recognizes by giving right to lile nomination papers. The test will be watched with close attention by the whole state. —Concerning the move the Phila delphia Inquirer says: "The entire power of the Vare organization, aid ed by hundreds of policemen and other City Hall employes, was di rected yesterday against the petitions of the Town Meeting party, with the intent to have the courts declare the nominations invalid. The Vare man agers followed up their move of the night before with further arrests and began action before Common Pleas Court No. 3, to the printing upon the official ballot of any of the candidates party. Prompt action was taken by the managers of the Town Meeting party, who declare they have no fear any of their peti tions will be rejected. Thev char acterize the move of the Vare work ers as a desperate stroke of a po litical combination that is afraid to face the people at the polls, and which by this effort to avoid a test ot strength, practically makes a con fession of defeat." —Other developments were the holding of the man who fired shots at the time Policeman Eppley ws murdered in the Fifth ward on pri mary day by the coroner after a lively hearing; further clashes be tween the district attorney and Con gressman John R. K. Scott; Mayor Smith going to the seashore for a ten days' rest; the Vares raising fig ures in paving bids above what thev have been quoting heretofore and a humorous interview with James Gay Gordon in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin in which he says that veils of "frame-up" began with Adam and continued down the ages. He cites Nero and the Raiser as em ployers of the "frame-up" charge. —ln Pittsburgh the mayoraltv campaign has gotten to the advertis ing stage and one advertisement car lied by newspapers is that "Moving pictures refute lies of W. A. Ma gee's mud slingers." The Magee speakers have been driving hard at Babcock, but the lumberman Is back ed up by no less a personage that Councilman G. A. DilUnger, close friend of Highway Commissioner O'Neil. Babcock was accused of be ing responsible for bad conditions in lumber camps, but Mr. Dillinger, who made an Investigation, declares that are untrue. The GazetLe- Times says he gave "direct evidence in refutation" of the charges from what he saw himself. Babcock de nounced Magee as "a cheap political contortionist" and Magee and his speakers are declaring that Babcock does not stand for the democracy of the day. —ln Scranton the battle between Connell and Durkan for the mayor alty is a many-angled fight in which Democrats are backing Durkan and making a great fuss over the mine caves. Friends of Connell say he it. going to win —Wilkes-Barre policemen have asked for an increase of salary. —The Vltoona Tribune says edi torially concerning the Kunkel de cision in the "recess appointments" ( case: "We congratulate the gover nor and the friends of independent thought upon this victory. And we trust that the decision of the Dau phin county court will be accepted as final by the Auditor General and those who stand back of him. If the Republican party is to win in the state campaign next year it must bo united and in order that this may come to pass tTie leaders, the men whom the Republican voters have honored and trusted, must come to an understanding." —Berks county Democratic leaders are said to be much disturbed over the factionalism displayed by thJ Reading Democrats. —The W'ilkes-Barre Record says of the appointment of Karl B. Loh mann. of that city as city and town planning engineer in the Depart ment of Labor and Industry: "Mr Lohmann graduated from State Col lege school of agriculture about seven years ago, and was for a year retained at State, compiling a treatise on the trees of the campus. He then returned to this city, where he w:\s engaged in municipal improvement work. He oarried his studies farther by taking the Harvard course in landscape architecture. Later he went to Detroit as an expert for the city planning commission, which was conducting civic improvements on a large scale.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FORESTALLING OLD GAME To the Editor of the Telegraph: 1 have been very much interested in the announcement in your paper that our City Commissioners have under consideration the passage of a city ordinance to prevent the "fore stalling" of our markets. There is no question but what this infamous practice has been going on regularly. If a farmer comes to one of the markets and offers his produce at a reasonable figure (a price at which he is entirely satisfied to sell) one of these unscrupulous dealers will buy up all of that article, paying the price asked, and immediately take it to another stand, and sell it at a greatly advanced price, to the detri ment of the consumer. *This is by no means a new trick nor is legislation on this subject a new thing. Back in the thirteenth century they had the same conditions to deal with in England. In 51 Hen ry 111 statute 6, in the year 1266 we find the famous statute against fore stalling. A jury of 12 men was ap pointed by the King to inquire and] bring to justice "forestallers that buy anything afore the due and accus- \ tomed hours against the good state.] or weal of the town or market, orj that pass out of the town to meet| such things as come to market, he-1 ing out of town, to the- intent thatj they may sell the same in the town more dear unto Regrators, that utter l it more dear than they would thatj brought it, in case they had come to i the town or market." Between the reign of Henry 111 nn<} Edward It (exact date is un known) sometime in the latter part of the thirteenth century/ an even more stringent statute was passed .■'gainst forestallers as fellows. "No forestaller which for greediness or private gain doth prevent others in buying fcrain, fish or anything, op pressing the poor and deceiving the rich, shall be suffered to dwell in any town." a legislative enact ment. whether by city or state surely ought to prevent the cornering of any of the necessaries of life, or the fixing of abnormal prices. A city ordinance that will prevent the forestalling of our markets, whether it occurs before the produce arrives in the market or after will meet with the hearty approval of patrons of the markets and our City •Commissioners will render a valuable public service in enacting such legis lation very promptly. Respectfully submitted, WILMER CROW. Oct 19, 1917. HE'S SAFE "How is it ye've never married, Norah ?" "G'long wid ye, Mike! Shure the man I'd marry ain't been born yet. an' his mother's dead."—From the Boston Transcript Gratitude to France John A. German's Four Minute Liberty Bond Ad dress at the Colonial Theater Men and Women, Boys and Girls of Harrlsburg: In the short time alloted me I hope to give you a good reason —a reason that should appeal to every patriotic heart —why everyone of us should to our ability lend our money to the Republic for the purchase of Lib erty Bonds. We should pay a debt of gratitude —sratitude the brightest .iowel of all manly or 'womanly attributes. Gratitude to France—gratitude to our soldiers and sailors, who are of fering their young lives for the safe ty of our country. A word about our gratitude to France—But for France, we would not have the beautiful flat? with its galaxy of stars in a field of blue. You all know the story of Valley Forge—and of France, the nation that was a friend in need—a friend indeed! Let us see our condition when France came to help us. One of the ablest and most appreciative liistor- Usns of our struggles in the Revo lutionary War is an Englishman. Sir George Otto Trevelyan. He tells us.-writing of Valley Forge: "That soldiers have often endured famine and intense sufferings and death when besieged in towns or sur rounded by greater forces in moun tain fastness. Never in the history of war have soldiers, shoeless and in tatters, endured famine so long without wholesale desertion in an open encampment." Washington and Wayne in their letters warned the Colonial Congress that unless some great change for the better took place in the management of the Quartermaster's Department, the Army must inevitably perish by star vation or disappear by the wholesale desertion, and a great philosopher well and truly wrote that even Wash ington had not "adequately gauged the devotion of his soldiers to their country and their personal affection for him." Washington's heart bled for his young soldiers, towards whom he felt as a father, but was powerless to succor in their distress, while in this darkest hour a power ful conspiracy of officers planned Washington's downfall. Truly it was the darkest hour of night, the lowest ebb of the tide. Truly it was midnight .and of all the illustrious deeds, civil and military, that have endeal-ed Washington forever to his countrymen, the story told by the old ironmaster and Quaker preacher, as having happened at Valley Forge, is the most sacred. Washington knew our cause was doubtful but for France, and Washington had heard good news. The Quaker tells us that, strolling VP Valley creek, he saw Washington's horse tied to a tree, and that, looking around for' Wash ington, he discovered the General in prayer, and there were tears on his GRACE OF THE ORIENT The most aesthetic, and perhaps most humiliating, sight that a West erner could see we came on there in Marseilles: two Arab Spahis walking down the main street in their long robe uniforms, white and red, their white linen bonnets bound with a dark fur and canting slightly back wards. More than stx feet high, they moved unhurrying, smoking their cigarets, turning their necks slowly from side to side like camels of the desert. Their brown, thin, bearded faces wore neither scorn nor interest, only a superb self-containment; but. beside them, every other specimen of the human 'race seemed cheap and negligible. God knows of what they were thinking—as little probably as the smoke they blew through their chiseled nostrils —but their beauty and grace were unsurpassable. And, vlsioning our western and northern towns and the little, white, worried abortions they breed. *>ne felt down cast and abashed.—John Galsworthy in the Atlantic Monthly. THE WEE PLAIDIE Ladies who enlist .nowadays in a kiltie corps won't have to make much alteration In their uniforms. —From the Boston Transcript. TREES [From an old English Tale] The verie essence and as it were, springe-head and origine of all mu sic Is the very pleasante sounde which the trees make when they i grow. checks—and the old Quaker imme diately withdrew, "feeling that he was upon holy ground." Yes, it was holy ground—the holiest beneath the sun and stars to every true Amer ican. Authorities say that this prayer was after Washington heard the news of the French alliance. It was a prayer of thankfulness, and the tears were tears of joy." Washington's' prayer, which no I man heard, requires no groat skill to interpret: Washington thanked viod for France's help—and his tears] of joy tlowed because he foresaw the I dajrn of a better day for the Strug- ] ?-'lmg patriots who were then bat- j tllng for liberty and autonomy and! a Flag of their own. A Jew years I ago I saw the .unveiling of a monu- i ment in memory of the brave French i soldiers who were buried near j Annapolis—French soldiers who lost their lives for our forefathers and j for us. Never shall 1 forget the ad dress of the French Ambassador—! an Ambassador great in literature, j great in diplomacy, great in elo quence. But on that day he was greatest of all in gratitude, for the tardy marking of the unmarked graves of the French soldiers, who had come across the seas to give their lives for us. The grave of these brave French soldiers had been unmarked for more than a century, and the memorial was not the work of our Republic. But we cannot be charged with in- I sratitude now. The tremendous wel ! come of France to our soldiers was 1 the recognition by the French peo- I pie that the American people are a ! grateful people and that the Amer ! ican Flag is loved in the land of the I tri-color: and that the • men and I money and the army and navy that | France sent to us in the days of our need would be repaid a thou sandfold, and that we would cease i to be a debtor nation; and with our j entry into the war we would from I that day forth be a creditor nation, ! a creditor in love and gratitude, and money such as has never been known 1 in the annals of the world's history. | So luster indescribable and glory un- I quqnchable have been added to your ! Flag and mine; so it has come to j pass that our Flag has been re | ceived with a frenzy of love In j France, such as has never been given I to the flag of a foreign nation be ! fore. Men and women of our beloved Republic, buy a bond out of grati tude for bleeding France—buy a bond out of gratitude to the brave men, your sons and brothers, your husbands and sweethearts, who are offering their blood for their coun try. It will shorten the war and show France and the world that our Republic Is grateful, and that we, too. to a friend In need, can be a friend indeed. TERMS OF PEACE The government is discouraging all talk of peace among the people of this country, because it might be in ferred that it has reached a state where all that may seem to be need ed is a little. trading—we will give this if you will give that, etc. —but there is no such formula In the terms of peace. This country has only one term, and that Will be ex pressed by the logic of events, to-wit, the utter demolition of Hohonzol lernism, and the driving out of Eu rope of military autocracy and kal serism. Germany need not think it can get from America the slightest abatement of these conditions. Nor does the administration want anyone in this country to throw out the slightest hint that this nation will he content with anything less than these conditions. They may talk of Belgium, Alsace, Armenia and (In demnity till the cows come home, but the last conclusion will be Ho hrnzollernism must go or the war will go on.—Ohio State Journal. • CONVENTIONS IN RUSSIA From the description of the rio tous scenes in Petrograd we tremble to think what may happen when the parties begin to hold their nominat ing conventions there.—Kansas City Star.

It is expected that the grading In the extension will be started very soon as flic last of the buildings will com* down next week, except the ware house now used as a military store house and which will bo retained until the landscaping reaches that point. The formal start of the work will be the planting of trees to-bo named for the governors on Arbor Day. So many requests have been made for permission to plant trees dedicated to cities or boroughs and even counties and in honor ot' stato officials and in memory of former otllcials that the stato authorities have determined to group all of the "city" trees on the proposed Mall which will extend eastward from the Capitol and be marked by four lines of trees. Other suggestions will be considered individually as related to a general plan which will mark the spot of every tree to go into the I forty-ono aero park. A friend who has been reading the references to Capitol park beautlfl catlon, called up on the telephone and asked: "Don't you remember the pile of rocks and ferns in tho lower fou/itain that stood where the Libra ry now stands? Ithink some of tho fellows on the Telegraph staff fell into it, unless I am mistaken. That pile of rocks was made up of stones from about a score of counties. Some one got an idea of a stone pile with a stone from every county. Tho pile was a corker and it had an iron pipe run through it with an angel or a cherub or a dragon, I don't re member which, running through it and spouting water. Tho rocks were covered with moss and ferns and there were some fish in the basin. You arc right about that basin. You are right about that basin just being high enough for a youngster to top ple ovpr when trying to feed a fish or catch a frog. I know I fell in. And say, do you remember what fun it was when the wind was blowing to stand where you could get soaked by the spray." A party of Cumberland County squirrel hunters left this morning early by automobile for the moun tains back of Dillsburg, where one of the party has opened the season every fall for years back by bagging his limit the first day of the season. Ho has been going there for a long time every squirrel season and says that squirrels are even more plenti ful now than they were a few years back. Hunting squirrels with the rifle is considered by this hunter as far more "sporty" than going after them with a shotgun. "I go out before dawn, if possible," ho said yesterday, "and slip as quietly into the heart of a hickory grove. There X post myself where X can see all about me without 'being seen too readily and sit silently awaiting first signs of game. Usually I have not long to wait, for his squirrelship at this season is often disposed to be an early riser. The frost is knocking the nuts down and the squirrel has a job cut out for him. Just as the early bird gets the worm, so the early squirrel gets the nut, and if the season is poor you may wager 011 there is mighty keen competition be tween the Squirrels for the nuts. That kind of hunting requires lots of patience and much skill with the rifle, but the old squirrel hunter will tell vou it is a lot more fun and sat isfaction than blundering through the woods with a shotgun banging away every time you see something that looks like a gray squirrel's tail in a treetop." A good story is being told about tlio care given to the Chestnut street approach to the Mulberry street via duct. It seems that on slippery and damp mornings it is the custom to 1 spread sand about on the asphalt so that horses will not lose their footing on the surface which is made bad enough by automobiles in ordi nary weather. The other morning a new man got on the job about, noon and swept off all the sand on one of the slipperiest mornings of the month. One of the reasons advanced for •he curb markets not proving very attractive here is that farmers who have stalls in the markethouses of the city have sales for all they can bring because there are families which constitute regular patrons and who kick if the farmer does not come in. Almost everyone who goes to market or who used to go before the stores began to go so extensively into the provision business, has or had a "butter" man or an "egg" woman who was on hand rain or shine and is yet. Another reason is that peo ple are going to the farmers to buy. The growth of automobile ownership has brought the farmer nearer to his market without causing him to move a foot. Many city folks make it their business on pleasure trips to get lines on the prices of everything from green corn to potatoes and many a bag is .brought back to Harrlsburg when it was not expected that the trip was going to be in the nature of foraging. The price at the farm is an attraction although at the end of the journey it is hard to figure out whether much has been gained in the way of a bargain when gasoline is considered. But the point is that the buyer knows where to go nefxt time and the farmer gets his. | WELL KNOWN PEOPLE"" —Bishop Garland is acting as chairman of one of the committees of the State Committee of Public Safety.
