The senior and junior recruiting

Pat Excites
Inspiration
The prowess of Lieutenant
Pat O'Brien, Momence aviator
with the Royal Flymg: Corps ot
Great Eritain, in escaping from
Germany while under heavy
guard, has excited admiration
throughout the entire world.
We reprint here an original
poem from the Clinton (Iowa)
Herald, coming from the pen of
Roland Rathbone, a writer of no
mean ability:
*
AN UNHYPHENATED EXIT
(To Patrick O'Brien of Momence,
111., aviator in the Canadian air serv
ice, whom the German empire was
unable to retain after half a dozen
Hun airmen had been lost in cap
turing him.)
Shame on ye, Pat O'Brien!
'Twas a mean trick ye did—
Ye wint and left the kaiser flat
And divil a wurrud ye s'id!
'Twill break O'Leary's trustin' heart
To think a man named Pat
Would give a dear old friend .of his
The Irish slip like that!
We know about your monkeyshines.
Faith, and it's common chat
The rows ye raised among the
clouds —
'Twas mean—'twas all o' that!
Ye had a hod filled up wid bombs
And let the contints fall,
And niver had the sinse to yell,
"Look out below!" at all.
And whin the Germans put ye in
That private railroad car
Ye didn't say a wurrud o' thanks—
Ungrateful man ye are!
For whin the willin' porter
Took wan minute on his job
Ye wint and smashed the windy
glass,
And out ye wint, be gob!
Ye didn't even stop to tell
Von Hindenburg good-by,
Or talk on how ye liked the place,
An' this an' that, or why
The Irish don't appreciate
The man he's workin' for
Ye stuck your dudeen in your phiz
And sashayed out the door!
Ye fooled the German soldiers
Wid the goose-step, we suppose.
And waved them all a bold salute
Wid a hand forninst yer nose,
A sausage underneath your arm
An* on your hip a brick—
Oh. bucko! 'Twas an Irish
And unhyphenated trick!

of his escape from the Germans will

Besides signing a pledge signify
ing their willingness to work on the
farms to the best of their ability,
the boys must pass a mental and
physical examination before they are
acoepted.
Members of the recruiting board
think that the city boys will prove
as helpful on the farms as country
boys. Last summer when young
men were recruited from the col
leges for furni work, they proved as
elllcient as the country bred boys.
The quota Pennsylvania Is asked to
furnish is 45,000 boys and 90,000
men. All men and boys wishing to
secure good employment in line
places to live, are requested to re
port to the nearest High school prin

HERTLING SEES
NO INCLIN ATION
TO STOP CONFLICT
| Praises "Incomparable Army,
Heroic- Leaders, Stead
fast Nation"
By Associated Press
Copenhagen, Monday, March 18.—
Germans should not indulge in dis
illusions that a world peace has been
accomplished yet, Count Von Hert
ling, the imperial chancellor, de
clared in concluding his speech fn
the Reichstag to-day on the peace
treaty with Russia. He added:
"There is not the slightest inclina
tion yet perceptible among the en
tente states to terminate this terrible
war. We, however, shall not lose
faith. We are prepared and every
thing is ready. Further heavy sacri
fices may come, but I am. confident
in our just cause, our incomparable
army, its heroic leaders and the
steadfast nation. Responsibility for
further bloodshed will fall on the
heads of those desiring its continu
ance."
Baron Yon Dem Bussche-lladden
liausen, undersecretary for foreign
affairs, explained that Germany had
adopted a sharper and firmer meth
od in the second phase of the Rus
sian negotiations because it realized
that Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign
minister, desired not peace, but to in
stigate Germany to rebellion and
counted on a revolution in Germany
counted on a revolution in Germany
and Austria-Hungary to help him
veil the fact of Russian defeat.
"Our negotiations," the undersec
retary said, "gained the impression
that the Russians expected far more
severe terms after they had forced
us to a fresh appeal io arms and
their protest that they were forced
to accept our terms without sufficient
time for negotiation was a mere at
tempt- to save their own faces.
Everything had been discussed fully
in December and the only new de
mand after the ultimatum was that
regarding Kars, Ardahan and Ba
toum. (The peace treaty provides
that these districts in the Caucasus
shall be ceded to Turkey)."

VARE HOLDS OUT
FOR JOHN SCOTT
North American Says Phila
delphia City Committee Will
• Endorse Mr. Sproul
State Senator William C. Sproul's
candidacy for the Republican gu
bernatorial nomination will bo in
dorsed by the Republican city com
mittee, according to interests close
to Senator Vare, says the North
American to-day. At the same time,
the city committee will put ita s:amp
of approval on the candidacy of
Congressman John R. K. Scott for
lieutenant governor. While county
leaders close to Senator Penrose
have been loud in thoir declarations
that Scott will not bo acceptable to
them, Senator Vare intimated yes
terday that he would force Scott 6n
the tfeket. That there is any pos
sibility of former Mayor William A.
Magee. of Pittsburgh, being agreed
upon by the Vares nn<? followers of
Senator Penrose as a harmony can- ,
didate for ileutenant governor was
diss! rated yesterday by Senator
Vare. He said that Magee is for
Scott. Among the Penrose leaders
there was some sentiment expressed
favorable to Magee, but if Vare
should agree to pull Scott off the
tlc-ket-i-which he says won't be done
tile Penrose followers in Pitts
burgh would likely favor the former
mayor.
A meeting: of the subcommittee on
invitations of the reception which
is to be given to Senator William
C. Sproul, candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for Governor, .t
Swarthmore, Delaware county, was
held in this city yesterday and from
the acceptances already received it
is predicted that the function will
be largely attended, says the Phila
delphia Inquirer.
It is to be a non-partisan tribute
to Senator Sproul by his Delaware
county neighbors, and they have
invited a number of representative
citizens from nearby to join with
them In the testimonial.
The committee has many letters
in which cordial expressions of good
will for Senator Sproul are coupled
with pledges of support of his can
didacy and predictions of his success.
County Commissioner John von
Bergen of Scranton yesterday an
nounced that he would support the
candidacy of State Senator William
C. Sproul for the Republican nomi
nation for Governor. Mr. von Ber
gen is the second former mayor of
Scranton to come out in the last two
days for Sproul. He lias been prom
inent in the progressive politics of
Lackawanna county, and in 101-'
j was a Roosevelt delegate to the
| Chicago convention.

[Continued from First Page.]
THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK
itol Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
In addition to holding the highest
position in the English national
church, the Archbishop of York has
long been distinguished as a man of
extraordinary merit; the subject of

sage of mighty importance goes
without saying.
Plans to-day were made for his
reception at the railroad station, for
his escort to the Bishop's house and
the short trip from there to the Cap
itol. Governor Brumbaugh, Lieu
tenant Governor McClain and
Thomas Lynch Montgomery, State
Librarian, will bo the committee of
reception, along with BisHop Dar
lington. Delegations from churches
in York and Lancaster will be pres
ent wearing the respective insignia
of early English days, the red and
white roses.
Tlic Archbishop really bears the
King's message and will tell of the
horrors of war as practiced by the
barbarian.
Germans Concealing
Loss of Airplanes
By Associated Press
Paris. —Germans are trying to
conceal their airplane losses and
augument those of the Entente
Allies, according to French officials.
Their last communique on the sub
ject said that "in December the
enemy aerial forces have lost 119
airplanes' and nine captive balloons.
We have lost in aeriul combats 82
airplanes and two captive balloons."
French authorities report that In
December the English brought down
65 German machines and the French
41, making a total of 106 instead of
84, admitted by the Germans. The
French claim of enemy machines
does not include 35 German ma
chines which were seen to fall, but
the loss of which has not been offi
cially confirmed. The combined
British and French aerial losses dur
ing December were 4 3 machines In
stead of 128, claimed by Germany.
Of these British lost 32 and the
French 11.
The German "camouflage" In the
commuunlque is found the words
"In aerial combats." It Is pointed
out that the Germans forget to in
clude the number of their machines
brought down by anti-aircraft guns
of thfe Allies, while they claim as
losses all allied machines seen to
fall within their own lines and
1 many of which are virtually un
damaged.
