10 BROADER WAR IS NOW NECESSARY, SAYS ROOSEVELT Bpl! I Declares America Must Crush Austria and Turkey to Make Democracy Safe Princeton, N. J.. Nov. 17.. —Declar- ing that if we had begun to prepare three years ago the war would be over now, criticising the slowness ot the country In preparing for war after the break with the central pow ers became imminent, and urging war on Austria and Turkey to "ipake the world safe for democracy," Theodore Roosevelt mado last night a striking and vigorous address. The talk was the annual Stafford Little lecture and was attended at Alexander Hall, the Princeton University auditorium, by Loth undergraduates and towns people. "By beginning to act with energy cn February 1. the day after the Ger man'note arrived," he said, "we could have had hundreds of thousands ot | etficient fighting men at the front in j August; and in sucli event it ma. | well be that Russia would have taken I heart end would now be organized | for self-respecting, orderly liberty j and for victory, and that Italy (espe- | cially If we had done our clear duty i by declaring war on Austria) woula not have met with disaster. "Of course, if we had obeyed the Property Owners Beware! I? there ever was a time when property should not be permitted to depreciate in value —that time is now. A dollar spent for repair work to-day may be the means of saving you many dollars in the near future. The price of lumber has not advanced greatly in price not nearly so much as other material. After the war there will be an enormous demand for all kinds of building material and prices will further advance. Take care of the small jobs before they become large ones. Any kind of a lumber order will have our prompt attention. United Ice & Coal Co. Pomtrr <& Com len St*. Dependable Performance U. S. Pat. Off.

DR.DAMROSCH TO PLAY IN CITY Famous Musical Organization Will Open Season of Keystone Course I The Keystone Concert Course in j Harrisburg will be opened this sea- I son with tlie playing of "The Star ! Spangled Banner" by one of the lar gest and most perfect musical organ izations in existence. This is the Symphony Society of New York, which, under Walter Damrosch as ! conductor, and with Ethel Leginska, j the famous pianist, as soloist, will j give the iirst number on the Key ! stone Course when it appears in a concert at the Chestnut Street Audi torium on Saturday afternoon, No vember 24. Walter Damrosch, the famous con ductor of this organization, stands in a unique position among his col leagues of the baton in America now that the country is at war. There is no question about liis playing "The "Star Sp&ngled Banner" at his war time concerts, for, although he did not come to this country until he was nine years of age, lie is an American jot Americans. He rose to fame ] here and has in every way been | identified with American 1110. Ills i wife is a daughter of James O. J Hluine. lie was recently drawn into the controversy over the playing of the ! national anthem by the Boston Sym- I phony Orchestra. His final dictum I on this subject was: "There seems to ] 1110 to be every reason why the Bos ton Symphony Orchestra, as an American institution, should play [ our national anthem, but that Dr. Muck, after his extraordinary state ment, should not be permitted to conduct it." Dr. Damrosch, before the Muck incident had brought the question into controversy, had played "The Star Spangled Banner" at the outset of his concerts in New York, and he has played it on his tours as a matter of course. He will, in line with this, play it at the Harrisburg concert on November 24. Interesting Program The program which Dr. Damrosch lias arranged for his concert here is a very interesting one, and will no doubt attract the music lovers who found his concert here last season so enthralling. The addition of Mine. Ethel Leginska, the most electric and tem peramental of woman pianists, to the program as soloist was specially ar ranged for Harrisburg, since she ap peared here last year in a r.cital of iier own and was immensely suc cessful. When Fred C. Hand, the director of the Keystone Concert Course, learned that she would be, available for this concert as soloist, | he immediately took the steps net- j essary to engage her, realizing that hei great popularity in musical cen ters of the world was duplicated here ill Harrisburg and she would be con sidered by the public as a' decided addition to the numbers provided by tlie orchestra. The concert of Dr. Damrosch and his orchestra will be the ope.ning one in the course; the second, which will occur on December 28, a lecture and demonstration on trench warfare by Sergt. Arthur Guy Empey, author of "Over the Top." Tlie third con cert will bo given on March 11 by Reginald Werrenrath and Wynne Pyle. while Alma Gluck will wind up the series on April 2. Tickets for the full course, by the purchase of which subscribers secure not only a reduced rate but the guarantee that iliey will have good seats for all the numbers, j are now on sa - and can be secured | at the Orpheum Theater. Tinder Mr. Hand's direction there will also lie a special concert on Mon day evening, January 7, by Efrem Zimbalist, the famous Russion violin ist, and Mary Warfel, harpist.

Harrisburg Schools Are Praised For Their Work Harrisburg schools furnish several examples of progressive education to a report. "Rainbow Promises of Pro gress in Education," just issued after a nation-wide investigation by the In stitute For Public Service. New York. Mention is made of the fact that in Harrisburg all eighth grade pupils receive instruction in bookkeeping, and that the school dental clinic has cared for 832 patients in 1915. Johnstown and Reading are other Pennsylvania cities which are men tioned as carrying out to-morrow's educational prophesies in their schools to-day. The report contends that the Rocke- ' feler General Education Board and Columbia Teachers' College ill their new experimental school in New York are setting out to demonstrate what has already been demopstrated with millions of children in thousands of schools—what is being demonstrated in Harrisburg, among other places. The facts were obtained by a refer endum in which 216 city and state superintendents of schools answered for 2,200,000 pupils. THREE IIICI.l) ON CHAROK OK SFJ.LIXO SUMMERS I.ll.

Hale; Boost a Mere Poultice, Noted Banker Tells Federal Board I Washington, Nov. 17. • Govern-j ment ownership of railroads is the j only obvious cure for the Ills of the American railways, in tho opinion of Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York and head of the war savings committee. lie made this declaration yester day before the interstate commerce commission in the 15 per cent, rate hearing. He was the commission's own ex pert witness. Mr. Vanderlip made an unmodified ! advocacy of the repeal of the Sher man law, so far as it applied to rail roads. and repeal of the pooling : section of the act creating the inter state commerce commission. The ! railroads must be allowed to com? ! bin>:, he told the commission, and he | predicted that the increasing troubles of the roads would force permission | for such consolidation. Rate Increase Not Hie Cure j One of two things must be done : to meet the situation: either the gov ernment must acquire ownership or some action taken to restore co-- ; lUlence in their securities, sud Mr. I Vanderlip. Granting the increase [the roads request, he insisted, would act only as a poultice and not ef fect a real cure. I In their arguments foi tho in crease. Mr. Vanderlip said, railroad men themselves failed to see below | the surface and view what he be lieved to be fundamentally wrong-- | the effort to force the two regulatory j principles, prevention of combina tions and fixing the v rates to work ! smoothly together.
