LOYAL TEACHERS
NEEDED, SAYS T. R.
[Continued from First Page.] 1
Army and navy, and among civil
ians by judges. The men and wom
en who train the citizenship of the
next generation are engaged in a
task as important as that of the
soldier on whose trained valor the
safety of the present generation de
pends or as that of the judge to
whom we especially look for the
safeguarding of the highest stand
ard of civic integrity. •
"Peculiar honor is due judge, sol
dier and teacher who do well their
vitally important work; and in each
of the three professions those who
do well form the great majority.
But as a corollary to this we should
show a special insistence upon this
good behavior, in each case, and we
should visit upon those of each pro
fession who go wrong a severer con
demnation than upon ordinary citi
zens.
Applies Standard of Patriotism
"Soldier, judge and school teacher
should be held to the same standard
of patriotism and of fealty to the na
tion and the flag; and patriotism
means devotion to this nation and
this flag, and to the orderly liberty
our Government expresses.
"That species of internationalism
which insists upon loving other coun
tries as much as our own stands on
a level with that species of conjugal
affection which finds expression in
loving another woman as well as
one's own wife; each is a crime; the
first is treason and the second is
bigamy: and in the present stage of
world development one crime is no
more defensible than the other.
Treason in the concrete is not off
set by a mushy sentimentality about
humanity in the abstract. The
teacher should no more be permitted
to preach treason than the Army
officer. If either complains that this
infringes his liberty of speech he can
at once regain that liberty by leaving
the public service.
''Even outside the service in time
of war there are certain limitations
which must be put upon speech—in
fact, as I need hardly say to a body
of scholars and students and schol
arly people, while civilization means
a steady increase of that liberty
which implies .mmunity from wrong,
it also of necessity means a steady
diminution in that kind of liberty
which implies the doing of wrong
to one's neighbor or the doing of
wrong to the body politic as a
whole.
"We do not require Army and
Navy officers and school teachers to
swear allegiance to international
mankind: their allegiance is to this
nation; they must, of course, show a
generous desire to do justice and
show mercy to all men and women:
but their loyalty must be to this flag
in peace and war.
"Foolish or disloyal creatures tell
us not to agitate at this time the
question of permanent preparedness,
because even the pacifists are now
backing the war, and we ought to
think of nothing but winning it. 1
insist, and have always insisted,
that our first object should be at all
costs to win the war and that it
would be infamous to accept any
peace except the peace of over
whelming victory. But to introduce
universal military training for our
young men under 21 now will be a
most efficient step for winning tho
war; and if we wait until peace
comes all the professional pacifists,
being gentry of inconceivably short
memories, will at once raise their
old-time shrill clamor against pre
paredness.
"Remember that for two and a
half years after the world war broke
out we as a nation acted on the the
ory of these pacifists that if we kept
unprepared and submitted with hum
ble cheerfulness to insult and mur
der we would be able to keep out of
war. Well, we tried the experiment.
We kept unprepared.
Pacifist Policy Failed
"We not merely turned the other
cheek, but meekly presented our en
tire person to (ierman brutality.
And we did not keep out 'of war.
We merely made ourselves helpless
ly unable to amount to anything for
a year after we were dragged into
the war. Our pacifists kept this
country unable to fight and yet put It
where it had to fight syid did light.
"The real crime of pacifists is not
that they don't fight, but that they
keep themselves and the nation ut
terly unlit to fight effectively. In the
end pacifists generally fight; but, as
they never began to prepare until
the end has come, they never fight
effectively. Of 100 pacifists who
clamor against war ninety can in the
end be kicked into war. But it is
too late to prepare effectively when
this has happened. Pacifists don't
avert war. They merely avert pre
paredness for war—or rather pre
paredness against war, for, while
preparedness does not make peace
certain, it. is the one method of
making it probable.
"We as a nation have been guilty
of ignominious folly because we fol
lowed the advice of the American
pacifists and did not prepare for this
war; these American pacifists there
by proved themselves the efficient
tools of the Germart militarists; and
now, having got us unprepared into
this war they seek to prevent us
from preparing our strength so ns
to {ninimlze the chance of another
war and to ensure us against disaster
if another war should unhappily
come." '
WHOLE NATION IS
I GETTING BACK OF
TOBACCO FUND
| Soldiers in France to Benefit
By Drive Throughout
Country
j Announcement was made this
week from the headquarters in New
| York of "Our Boys in France To
i Imcco Fund" that plans have been
successfully laid whereby the week
of Monday, February 18 of the new
jcar litis been designated as "Wash
ington's Birthday Smoke Week."
During the seven days which em
brace the. celebration of the birth
day of George Washington, a con
centrated drive in which every city
in the country will participate, will
be made in the interests of the To
bacco Fund. Not only will the var
ious newspapers and magazines
which are now receiving contribu
tions for the Bending of tobacco to
our boys across the seas give wide
spread publicity and assistance to
make "Smoke Week" a success, but
negotiations are now under way
whereby a chain of large tobacco
stores stretching from coast to
i coast will donate a certain percent
! age of their receipts to help swell
the already large fund. The plans
for an extensive campaign during
this period also embrace an agree
ment between the Fund and one of
the leading theatrical circuits of
the United States which carries
with it a promise on the part of the
various theater managers to give a
special "Tobacco Fund Matinee."
In order to properly impress the
minds of the public with the impor
tance of "Smoke Week" during the
week of February 18th, a series of
appropriate posters will be display
ed in railroad stations, street cars
and on various bill-boards through
out the country. These litographs
will be striking in design and exe
cuted by a leading magazine artist.
It is deemed especially appropri
ate that the seven days in which the
Celebration of the birthday of the
country's first president, George
Washington, occurs, should be se
lected as the time for a vigorous
campaign to secure contributions
for our present-day fighters now
enduring the discomforts and dan
gers of the trenches "over there," in
order that we may have security
and peace. The various celebra
tions. meetings, and entertainments
which will be given not only on
Washington's birthday, but also on
tho day before, will participate in
the effort to secure liberal contribu
tions toward "Our Boys in France
Tobacco Fund" and it is expected
that the "big push" will result in
supplying many thousands of Amer
ican boys now in France with the
tobacco they crave above "ill else.
The easiest way to get tobacco
where it is most needed, the lads
in France, is to send a contribu
tion to the Harrisburg Telegraph's
Tobacco Fund. A quarter will send
a package retailing at 45 cents di
rect to the men with Pershing where
American smokes are unobtainable.
The following contributions have
been received:

BAKER YIELDING
ON WAR CABINET
[Continued from First Page.]
the measure provides for the estab
lishment of a war cabinet, that name
having been substituted at the elev
enth hour for "war council," of three
men, distinguished in business, ex
ecutive, administration and public
affairs and not members of the Pres
ident's cabinet.
It specifically states that the Sec
retaries of War and Navy shall not
be ex-offlcio members. The war cab
inet members would receive salaries
of $ 12,000 a year, the same as those
of the President's cabinet, but would
rank above the executive cabinet in
power for control of war policies.
Tho Senate will begin to-day the
consideration of legislation looking
to. more effective prosecution of the
war and Washington officials await
with the deepest interest the turn of
events.
There are signs abundant that be

bring about greater co-ordination in
the war program clashes of a very
serious nature between Congress and
the administration are not at all im

have marked the preparations to
enter the war on a scale commen
surate with the prestige of the Unit
ed States.
Business "Behind the I.lnes"
A crystallized public Bentlment
will decide the issue, with the Presi
dent expecting universal support of
his administration's conduct and
Senators believing the people are
behind them in their demand for a
greater utilization of the commer
cial genius of the countrv for busi
ness efficiency in the material ele
ments of essential "behind the lines."
Senators will leave to the Presi
dent and Secretary Baker the ques
tion of whether the contemplated
steps shall hinge about Mr. Baker's
management of the War Department
They asserted that the proposed war
cabinet and ministry of muniutus
are not to be considered personal
reflections upon Mr. Baker, unless
the President expressly elects that
such be tho issue. If lie does they
are willing to accept the cliallcngc
and tfglit it out before the country.
As a further complication, the ad
vocates of universal military training
are determined to press that issue
along with the other war legislation.
The assertions in New York yester
day of Senator Chamberlain, of Ore
gon, chairman of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee, and Representa
tive Julius Kahn, of California, rank
ing Republican member of tha House
Military Affairs Committee, left no
doubt of that.

General Strike On in
Austria; Peace the Aim
London, Jan. 21.—A general strike
is on throughout Austria, according
to an exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Paris yesterday, which reports
100,000 men quitting work in Vienna
and Neustadt (thirteen miles south
of Vienpa), closing down all the war
factories. The strikers are described
as openly anti-German and the
movement as both political and eco
nomical, and especially aimed at se
curing peace.
Public demonstrations. It Is addd,
have been held In many places, at
which hostility was voiced toward
Berlin for trying to force the Aus
trians to continue the war.
The latest German reports which
have come through Amsterdam, to
which city they were forwarded by
the semiofficial Wolff Bureau, flatly
assert that the military party has
gained the victory in the territorial
policy of Germany, and show what
face that country proposes to put on
annexations in the east. The guise
in which taese are presented is that
the peoples of these countries already
have determined their future status
through existing representative
bodies and that this determination Is
Irrevocable.

BUSINESS IX DISGUST
St. Louis, Jan. 21.—After spending
$350,000 in a futile effort to prevent
prohibition, Sigmund J. Lang, a
whiskey manufacturer, has quit the
business in disgust after forty-fivcl
rears and 'will spend the remainder !
of his life In some other Industry,
He finds' after casting tip aecounts, |
he says that he has paid $1,880.00" 1
in revenue taxes and $&60,006 t
anti-prohibition campaigns and to<
solicitors tor charity,
"I am quitting the liquor business 1
In .disgust,'' Lang says, "but with a
clear conscience as to my business
methods and the knowledge that X
have never stooped to employ the
tactics that some advocates of pro
hibition and morality used to lay
hands on our money. I did business
in ten states in the West and South,
and the first shock came three years*
ago, when Arkansas went dry and
wiped out a huge business overnight.
Then lowa, another of my good
states, took the same course."
L>ang sold his distillery for forty
cents on the dollar.
