14 CUMBERLAND CHANGES IN LIFE AND BUSINESS George M. Graham Predicts Big Things in Commercial Affairs After the War Carlisle, Pa..

Graham, former Phila delphia sports editor and later head of the Tri-State League, now connect ed with a big automobile company and 'it present chairman of the mo tor transportation committee, allied j with the Council of National De-' fense, outlined the sweeping changes in life and business which he pre dicts will come from the war. The gathering was attended by over 100 local businessmen with many visitors, lie declared that big business after the war will be broad er than ever before: that the public will share to a fuller extent in its profits, and that business after the coming, of peace will reach a point of development now undreamed of l>y Americans. He spoke of the sacrifices that have been made by business, predicting that they are but the beginning of greater sacri fices to come, and urged all business men to give freely—to give their all it" necessary—to help win the war against German autocracy. In his opinion the greatest words spoken since Lincoln's address at Gettysburg were Wilson's phrases to • 'ongress—"Make the world safe for Democracy." He plead for an Amer ican citizenship that Wiould be broad-minded enough to be fair to other nations and to realize that i this country has outgrown its in- 1 sular position.

PROHIBITION IS GIVEN ENDORSEMENT [Continued from First Page.] | the committee, but it was unanimous ! ly voted to make the action stand I out from all others. The Trouble The convention opened at 9 o'clock this morning with a rousing song service led by Charles M. Alexander. Dr. W. W. White spoke on the sub ject. "The Foe Against Which Jeru salem 'Stands: Her Personnel. Her Character, Her Policy, Her Fate." "The Kaiser is the Babylon mention ed in the Bible," he stated. "Calvary is everything that is good and sim ple; Babylon is that which is evil." 'Tan you conceive a combination worse than bad statesmanship and bad religion? That's what is the mat ter with the world to-day," tie con tinued. F. J. Nichols followed, with a strong plea for funds for missions. He urged using the last dollar for ministry to the whole world, "so we can make democracy safe for the whole world." Mr. McLachlin, gen eral secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Foo Chow, China, spoke on the sub ject at a luncheon which followed the convention. An inspiring address by Dr. Peter Roberts, of the industrial department of the International Y. M. C. A., was next on the program. "We must make munitions and ships. Everyone must help in the work from morning to night. My wife is willing to wear a calico dress, and 1 am willing to do without luxuries. Everyone should do the same. Then the men and skill ed workers who work in luxury fac tories, will be able to build more ships and make more munitions for the boys in the trenches. If this doesn't help, I think there will be a draft of working men." In these words, he emphasized the patriotic duty of every American worker. Last year there were 30,000 shipbuilders in the United States; now we are calling for a half million builders. Dr. Roberts told of conditions in the various shipbuilding plants, showing that, in these "mushroom cities," there are no conveniences of any kind and that the managers wanted the maximum amount of work from the men living in the worst condi tions. Nearly sixty per cent, of the workers in the Hog Island shipyards are foreigners, according to his state ments. Pounding Into Hearts "The world is pounding into the hearts of humanity as never before the idea of the dignity of the na tions of the world. The cannons of' Europe are welding together the na tions of the earth as they have never before been welded together under peace conditions," he said, advocat ing a campaign to have all men citi zens of this country. He urged that a campaign be opened to naturalize the foreign-born workers. "This war is going to change the views of thousands upon the question of citi zenship. We want solidarity in the nation, and in the industries." "We must get a baptism of the spirit on the industrial workers of the world if we are to win this war. We want a greater appreciation of moral values. "The Germany we are fighting is the Germany of Nietzsche and Bis marck: not the Germany of Goethe and Kant and Hegel. The Germany of Goethe, we want to liberate; the other Germany we want to throw overboard. Sympathy for the fel lowman is being blunted by the atrocities of war. We must teach our fellow men that the love of God is always with us." Following Dr. Robert's address, a business session of the convention was held. A motion to increase the budget of the state committee from $33,000 to $40,000 was overruled, but it was stated that contributions in excess of the original budget would be received. The report of the executive committee was adopted. Resolutions of appreciation to the various helpers, speakers, to Mr. Alexander and his party, and to the members, trustees and pastor of 'the host church wore adopted, arid It ■ was recommended that the develop 'ment of leaders for group Bible study classes be considered. An edi torial from the Harrisburg Tele graph on "The T. M. C. A.'s Oppor tunity," was read and discussed. High praise was given to this news paper for its support of the associa tion and all of its principles. Reso lutions were passed taking a stand for the state's ratification of the pro hibition amendment to the national constitution. The closing address was given by Dr. John McDowell, of Baltimore, who appeared in the uniform of a IY. M. C. A. chaplain in the army. He spoke 011 "The Challenge." en dorsing the Telegraph for its stand, and its publisher for his Christian work, saying that he was "an honor to the community." "I believe in the Telegraph, and in the men back of it," he continued. Dr. Koberts was formerly pastor of the First Pres byterian Church. Steelton. Tie is well known to hundreds of Harris burgers, and many of his old friends came to the church- especially to hear him. Pleading for America's awakening. Bishop Luther B. Wilson at last evening's session of the Y. M. C. A. Jubilee convention urged that Amer icans bestir themselves and rise to the tasks' which confront them. Bishop Wilson spent a long time in France among the soldiers, and in America, visiting the camps. His first-hand knowledge of conditions among the boys in the trenches was displayed In his eloquent address. "Men and women of America, in the name of God and in the name of humanity. bestir yourselves," ho died. "When the procession of service comes along, fall in and for ward march!" In France, the Star Spangled Banner is given a promi nent place in cathedrals and on all towers. People love it and long for the time when its representatives st all overthrow the despot's In traveling to France it is im possible to travel a mile without be ing reminded that the world is at war. The Bishop's subject was "The • Church, the Red Triangle and Our Soldiers." He told of his departure for France and of visiting the Y. M. C. A. huts. He met General Persh ing and asked him to send a message to the American people. "The gen eral turned those brilliant eyes on nie and said: 'Tell America that it is heresy to declare Germany cannot be beaten. Germany can be beaten. Germany must be beaten. Germany will be beaten.' Shall all George Washington did go for naught? Shall all Abraham Lincoln did go for naught? Shall millions have died in vain" he asked his audience. He stated in clear terms what America does not know what the war means, and that she is not yet awakened to the immensity and importance of it. Tell* of Forclßii Work List night's session of the con vention opened with a stirring song service, led by Charles M. Alexander. Georg" -V. Warburton, general sec retary of the Toronto Y. M. C.

Alliance an Unpatriotic Organization, Ohlinger Tells Senate Committee By Associated Press Washington, Feb. 23.—Hearings were begun to-day in the Senate Ju -1 dlciary Committee on the bill by Senator King, of Utah, to revoke the j charter of the German-American Alliance. Those supporting the bill were heard first. Representatives of the Alliance were ready to testify and declared they would denounce the charge that the organization was | disloyal. Gustavus Ohlinger, a Toledo, Ohio, lawyer, denounced the German- American Alliance as an unpatriotic organization, the object of which was to establish the doctrine of pan- I Germanism in the United States as t has been done in Austria. The entrance of the United States into the war put a stop to the ac tivities of the alliance in this coun try. Ohlinger said. The bylaws of the alliance belie its real purposes, he contended, and a consistent cam paign had been conducted every where in th|e United States to teach German in the public schools. Court Asked to Prevent Aldermen From Sending Coal Cases Into Court To prevent Alderman Hilton from returning two cases to court charging ! him with giving short wejght In coal deliveries G. Frank Millelsen, through j his attorney. Paul A. Kunkel, to-dav I filed a petition with the court asking 1 for a preliminary injunction against ; the magistrate to compel him to hold 1 the record open. Alderman Hilton, It was said in the petition, has held the defendant under SIOO bail in each case for court. Mr. Kunkel in bringing the equity suit stated to the court it was an unusual procedure to foljow in a so called criminal case, but declared the testimony In the suits served as an indication that there was no violation of law, but If anything a breach of contract. The court at first intimated the application wouid not be considered at the time, but. finally took the pe tition under advisement, and sug gested to Mr. Kunkel that he might have instituted habeas corpus pro. ceedings to ge the record before the court. Assistant District Attorney Frank B. Wickersham was present at the time and when asked by the court for his opinion of the injunction petltlori , declared the court sitting In equity had no Jurisdiction and that the en ' tire proceedings should come up at ! the regular quarter sessions court ' next month. t Milleisen Is charged by Harry D. r Reel, city inspector of weights and measures, with furnishing only 500 pounds on one rrder, and 544 pounds on another order for one-half ton of 3 coal. . The dealer's defense is that I an error was made at the yards in - weighing the coal, and that he has , made efforts to furnish the additional amount to the purchasers.

Movies to-night?" Jack eagerly j asks as he gets his three day leave i after safely completing his last jaunti to France. "Movies to-night?" is the stock ' Inquiry in every Y. M. C. A. huild- I ing. "Movies to-night!" aflirni hun- j ureds of Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. secretaries from Portland. Maine. ; to San Diego. California, and from : \ ancouver, Washington, to Key i West, Florida. Good!" is the satisfied comment ! of tens of thousands of Sammies and Jackies and Marines all over the length and breadth of the land. Jt is pretty much as an old timer, j one of these picturesque military institutions, the Regular Army drill sergeant put it: "Soldierin' ain't i what it used to be. With Ihe inocu- : latin' and the vaccinatin and the paradin' there ain't nothing to get sick or grochy about, and you ain't i really got any kick comin.' But if ] you think you' have, there's always i the "Y movies to go to, and there I you forget all about it." The doughty old soldier was right; \ soldiering is not what it used to be. ' No constructive provision was made ' for the old-timer's hours of leisure. „The odds then were all in favor of the ever-be-setting influences that degrade. Now all that is changed. Wher ever he goes, the soldier and the ! sailor finds the Red Triangle at I hand to minister his social, recrea- j tional, and religious needs and to i stimulate the mental side of life in > war time. There is its hundreds of huts and tents, its thousands of secretaries, its athletic acitivities, its entertain ments and "stunts." its educational classes in English and French and the entire long list of modern aca demic courses, its voluntary relig ious meetings, its "sings"—and last but by no means least, its movies. In the Eastern Department at present more than 950 movie pro grams are given monthly in sixty seven camps and naval stations in these six states. Over 150 moving picture machines are used, including both fixed and portable types. The Eastern Department is now running 5,241,500 feet of film month ly for the entertainment of our boys in khaki and blue. That is each month the Y. M. C. A. will show in its 120 odd buildings in this depart ment the equivalent of a film more than 954.8 miles long. From the New York City office of the Community Motion Picture Bureau, which is the selecting and distributing agent for practically all the films shown by the Y. M. C. A., betwen four and five million feet of film is the total recorded weekly as being distributed through its eight offices. When the full quota of Army "Y" buildings called for are in oper ation, seven and a half million feet of film will be required weekly. If one man were to watch a pic ture the aggregate length of time that qll the soldiers and sailors in the country watch the movies every two weeks, that man will still have a century to sit and watch, assuming that he first sat down before the screen at the beginning of the Chris tian era and had remained there eight a day, six days a week ever since. With the American expeditionary forces, too, the Red Triangle movies are shown, secured "over there" mostly from European producers, many is the dull hour, the home sick heart and the disconsolate "Sammie" that is relieved by the click, click of the projector's crank and the alluring magic of the screen. The Army and Navy Y. M. C. A., through the Community Motion Pic ture Bureau, is now showing more f,lm at more places every night than any other one agency; it is the big gest moving picture exhibitor in the world to-day, and all of its shows are free to our soldiers and sailors.
