Flowers For Miss Long,
Who Is Seriously 111
Miss Jane Long, whom almost
• everybody in the town knows. Is
seriously 111 of pleurisy at her home,
210 Herr street, and owing to her
age there is small hope of recovery.
The Sunday school of the Fourth
Street Church of God, where Miss
Jane has the record for an un
broken attendance for thirty-six
years, sent her a wonderful bunch
of thirty-six roses on Sunday, the
very first time she has missed the

relatives, there is a nurse in charge
to take cr ef her and answer the
many calls and inquiries of her host
of friends.

COMMUNITY SONG
TO AWAKEN CITY
Movement to Secure John C,
Freund, Musical Editor, For
Spring Music Festival
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees,
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
l>et all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break;
The sound prolong."
This is one of the first calls for
community singing, the movement
that is taking the land by storm as
a relaxation in these days of stress.
Harrisburg took its llrst formal step
toward forming a big community
chorus last evening, when some of
the interested people of the city
met at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. James G. Sanders, 232 Macl&y
street, to talk over the matter. Fred
C. Hand was made chairman of the
meeting, and others in attendance
were Mrs. Edwin J. Decevee, Mrs.
Wilbur F. Harris, Miss Cora Lee
I Snyder, Miss Olive Jamison. Frank
A. McCarrell, Edward G. Hose, Al
fred C. Kuschwa. Howard E. Gens
ler. Newell Albright. John W. Phil
lips, Frederic C. Martin, Henry A.
Kelker Jr., Miss Helen Bruce Wal
lace. Mra. William L. Keller, Pro
fessor Zeigler and Paul A Beck,
state supervisor of music and draw
ing. have also endorsed the move
ment. 1
Miss Snyder read excerpts from a
| paper. "Pennsylvania in Music,"
| written by C. F. Hoban, superln
j tendent of schools of Dunmore,
! which showed that Pennsylvania's
! contribution to America's music,
through her own musicians of
| every class, is greater than that of
I any othar state in the Republic.
"The versatility of the state Is
! shown as pioneer in the production
of musical instruments; first to take
her place as a musical center; first
| to establish singing schools and mu
i sical academies to train her niusl
i clans; as the birthplace of American
I folk-music; rich'and versatile in the
' work attempted by her composers;
| tremendously successful in chorus
' singing: notable in the number and
success of her astists —Pennsylvania
[lias been given a heritage not shared
'by any other state —a heritage of
which every native son should feel
i justly proud—a heritage that should
| spur us on to greater effort."
Everybody Invited to Join
During suggestions for forming
ian organization, which every one
I who loves singing will be invited to
' join, Mrs. Sanders, who was director
; of* music at the University of Wis
consin for some time, gave personal
experiences of her work with Peter
IW. Dykema. "the father of com
' munity singing." and of her own
! choruses at the university and

DEMOCRATS TO
AWAIT RESULTS
IN THIS STATE
Hope For Republican Condi
tions That Will Help Them,
but Will Be Disappointed
"We are passing through a most
interesting political era." said an
old-time political leader to-day.
"Time was when candidates andj
issues were discussed by a little clr-!
cle and promulgated as the solemn
conclusions of a political organiza
tion. That day Is past and it is in
teresting to observe how the people
themselves create the issues for the
political organizations." he added.
..This man had special reference to
the recent conference of the Demo
crats at Philadelphia and declared
that he was amused at the sidestep
ping of the most important issue of
the campaign—the approval or re
jection of the proposed constitution
al amendment prohibiting the manu
facture or sale of alcoholic beverages
in the United States. The "wet" ele
ment in the Democratic household is
restive under the lashing of the
small coterie of men who aro striv
ing to hold the reins of power in the
party and which group was afraid to
make an open declaratfon on the
proposed amendment at the Phila
delphia conference.
Much Camouflage
Camouflaging the primary cam
paign with impressive phrases re
garding the support of the President
in his war policies has excited a good
deal of political discussion, especially
in view of the fact that the Presi
dent's real war measures have been
made possible through the patriotic
support of the Republicans in the
Senate and House at Washington.
Without this support the administra
tion would have been hampered in a
most serious manner during the last
I year.
President Wilson under the large
power granted him forthe conduct
of the war can with one stroke of
the pep conserve enormous food
products by wiping out the liquor
traffic tor the period of the war. He
has not yet deemed it wise to iake
this drastic step, but the increasing
necessity for supplying the Allies
with food may force this tfction in
the near future. Among those who
observe the trend of events it is the
belief that the whole prohibition
matter may become so obvious and
inevitable as to eliminate it as an
outstanding issue of this year's cam
paign.
Candidates to Declare
It is regarded as quite prftbable
that all of the candidates on the
state and local tickets throughout
Pennsylvania will take such a posi
tion on this question as will serve in
a. treasure to eliminate it as a potent
factor in the campaign. Up to the
present time J. Denny O'Neil, the
State Highway Commissioner, has
played upon the Prohibition string
almost entirely, but the recent an
nouncement of ex-Representative
Robert P. Habgood, of Bradford, in
dicated that Mr. O'Neil is not to have
the whole of the stage in this respect.
It is also intimated that Senator
W. C. Sproul, who has not yet made
a formal declaration as to his can
didacy for Governor will make a
statement that will be entirely sat
isfactory to the temperance element.
He has been getting about the state
to some extent and his friends say
he is receiving great encouragement
from men of all parties.
Sproul Strong Here
Senator Beidlenjen, W. Harry
Baker and others identified with the
Republican organization of Dauphin
county are outspoken for Senator
Sproul. They declare that he meets
all the requirements of the situation;
that he is extremely popular through,
out this section of the state; that his
long service in the Senate and his
business activities In Central Penn
sylvania have made him widely
known; that he is peculiarly quali
fied as a businessman to administer
the affairs of the state whose cora
i mercial and industrial activities rep
resent a large part of the prosperity
of the nation, and that his experi
ence in public affairs fit him as few
men are fitted for the gubernatorial
office.
There Is also on every hand a dis
position among Republicans to emu
late the attitude of the Republican
j National Committee in doing every
thing possible to solidify the party
I for constructive work In this great
j crisis of the Republic.
Primary Must Decide
It is demanded on all sides among
Republicans that the contest be
tween individuals must close with
the primary election in May. That
any effort to prolong party dissen
tion after that time will be rebuked
by the voters in November. It is
Conceded that any and all candidates
have an absolute right to enter the
arena at the open primary, but that
the results of that primary must be
accepted by all as the verdict of the
party.
As to the Democratic situation in
Pennsylvania it is the old waiting
game—and the hope of the leaders
of the minority that some mistake
of judgment of the -majority may pro
vide an opening for success in No
vember. There is clearly evident,
however, a feeling of apprehension in
the minds of the leaders that the Re
publicans are about through fight
ing each other and that henceforth
the real conflict will be centered
upon the Democracy. It will not be
a question of supporting the Gov
ernment, because that issue is not at
stake under present conditions, but
will be a square altgnment of the
two parties which have so often
faced each other in the battle of the
ballots.

HERTLING SEEKS
TO DRIVE WEDGE
BETWEEN ALLIES
Endeavors to Show Differ
ence Between American
and British Policies
Washington, Feb. 27.—The signifi
cant fact about the speech which
Count von Hertling, the German
Chancellor, delivered before the
Reichstag Monday is unquestionably
the conciliatory tone in which it was
uttered. A speech was, of course, to
be expected from Count von Hert
ling after President Wilson's address
of February 11. but in well,inform
ed circles In Washington it was not
anticipated that the German answer
to the President would he phrased ;n
such an obviously conciliatory form.
The significance of this fact is its
revelation of the state of public
opinion in Germany. Von Hertling's
speech was. of course, calculated pri
marily for home consumption. It is
not to be supposed that he could
have had many hopes of convincing
the world at large of his sincerity
in avowing President Wilson's fpur
main principles of a durable peace
while the government which he rep
resented was taking such spectacu
lar action, contrary to these princi
ples, on the eastern front.
Von Hertling spoke for German
consumption because there was an
imperative necessity to quiet the
clamors of German liberalism by an
swering the President's recent mes
sage, and It is a very significant fact
indeed that the German Chancellor
under such circumstances should
feel himself compelled to adopt a
Colciliatory attitude toward the man
who has but lately been making in
vidious comparisons between him and
his neighbor, Count Czernin.
The unavoidable inference from all
this is that German liberalism is
gaining strength and that the Im
perial government feels it must play
a very delicate game if It is to carry
the support of a united Germany into
the new eastern campaign in the
face of the peace offered by the Bol
shevik!.
The government knows that it
mum cover up the yawning Incon
sistency on the eastern front by
turning the country's eyes toward
America and making a grandstand
I piny for liberalism in that direc
tion.

Von Hertling Speech Falls
Upon Deaf Ears in London
London, Feb. 27. —As far as the
Rrltlsh public is concerned the mild
words of Count von Hertling con
cerning Germany's pacific Intentions
and his partial acceptance of Presi
dent Wilson's basis for lasting world
peace fell upon almost deaf ears.
All details of the new war against
helpless Hußsia rob German states
men of their plea that Germany Is
waging a war of self-defense.
The British press virtually la
unanimous in the belief that the
whole eastern situation has been
cleverly arranged and plotted with a
view to bringing eastern and central
Kurope under German domination,
and for the vital Immediate purpoae
for getting food from the Ukraine.
