Men at Home. Speaker Tells
Big Patriotic Rally, Must {
Help With Money
Harrisburg's great patriotic jubi
lee week, which will wind tip on Sat-!
urday night with the appearance j
of Madame Schumann-Heink. was
launched last evening at Chestnut
street hall before an immense audi-)
nee who heard speakers of national
repute discuss the vital questions;
I now being settled and the ones that
must be met when Germany is beat
en. Perhaps the keynote recognized
by the bulk of listeners was touched
by Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale Uni-I
versity. when he said that "perma-1
nent peace can only come through i
tighting this war to a finish." The de- !
sire in every mind evidently was that j
every sacrifice must be made now to.
suppress Germany but after that toJ
reconstruct that war will here- j
after be almost impossible.
The big auditorium was crowded j
with a patriotic throng that cheered |
the speakers.
The substantial objective.' there-j
fore, should be a "league of nations" :
and not only Professor Fisher, but]
the other speakers. Bishop Mc-j
Dowell, of Washington; W. A. Uw, I
president of the First National bank, j
of Philadelphia. and Lieutenant ■
Henry Darlington, all emphasized'
that "The present war has challeng
ed the moral ingenuity of civilized
society. While the world was at;
peace it was easy to feel that duty j
had been done and responsibility dis
charged when, in pulpit, university
and market place, occasional voices
had been lifted against war. A long
period of peace had lulled the world
into a false sense of security. Then '
life was going along quietly. A few!
who understood something of the im
pending peril were doing what they
could to educate public opinion
against war, but leaders in church
and state did not feel any urgent and \
driving necessity for devising the

TUESDAY EVENING,
WELL-TO-DO MAN WHO "GETS BY"
ON SIOO BOND SURELY A SLACKER
Written for The Harrisburg Telegraph By Paul Arthur
About the meanest slacker is the
well-to-do man with a big bank bal
ance who is not satisfied with a 4 %
per cent, investment and yet who
obtains the right to wear a Liberty
Bond button by purchasing a SIOO
bond, whereas he should buy SIO,OOO
or double or treble the latter
amount.
His near brother is the man who
refuses to make application for a
Third Liberty Loan bond, for which
he must pay 100 cents on the dollar,
because he hopes to be able to buy
the same bond in the open market
after allotment at a discount of 1
per cent, or possibly a fraction mor.
The third of the triplets is the
man or woman who refuses to buy
even a SSO bond if that purchase
would necessitate cutting down on
actual machinery of international or
ganization that would make war less
probable.
All For Wur
"Then there burst upon the world
overnight the most brutal, the most
ruthless and the most gigantic war
of human history- The flower of 1
human brotherhood that the Chris- j
tian forces of the world had been
watering and nurturing for centuries!
was withered by the hot breath ot |
hate. The results of years of struggle
for social justice, for democracy and |
for larger opportunity for the com- [
mon man were thrown on the scrap j
heap for the time being, and all the!
energies of mind and heart were
harnessed to the business of war." j
This war has taught ns that the i
itiost urgent, the most necessary, the
most fundamentally religious duty
now before us is the demising and
adopting of some method otli<y than
war for settling disputes that are
bound to arise between nations. Un- !
less this can be done we never can
be sure that at any moment the re-!
suits of generations of preaching and |
teaching may not be consumed in the j
fires of war.
Xo Words Minced
This for the future. For the pres-'
ent the very able speakers had a I
punch in' both hands and did not i
mince words. Mr. Law declared that
the I'nited States can raise ten mil
lion soldiers without seriously inter- j
rupting the regular course of busl-j
ness: that we need not fear things,
will be managed otherwise than care
fully as the war continues and that
the only thing to think of now is
getting the money.
Dwelling on the same idea Profes- i
sor Fisher gave utterance to this sen-1
tence which seemed to go home -to ■
the audience: "When the troops s
come marching home again, and you j
stand on the curb and give the great- 1
est ovation any army in the history
of the world ever received, you will
be unable to take your part unless
you have a Liberty Bond." This:
struck so true that many an auditor 1
felt for his Liberty Bond badge and j
some persons looked rather uncom
fortable. although when Bishop Mc- i
the purchase of unneedfuls and !ux-j
urics.
Any person of either class who is
.able, but fails to do his duty to him
self or to his country, and thinks he
can "pet away with it," is going to
discover his mistake. There never
was a bond campaign so thoroughly
organized as this Third Liberty Loan,
and bankers and brokers and mem
bers of the executive committee have
perfected a system whereby they
can track the slacker who evades his
duty.
The'man without bonds propor
tioned to his means will be like the
man without a country, and methods
have been devised for giving him
more and a different sort of publicity
than he will relish, after the cam
i paign closes.
Dowell, later on. called for everybody
who would buy bonds to stand up not
one person remained sitting. The
number of Harrisburg boys in serv
ice could be estimated, too. by the
number who responded when the
bishop asked those to rise who.had
1 relatives tighting for Uncle Sam.
God Not Willi Murderers
Both Bishop McDowell and Pro
-1 fcssor Fisher excoriated the Kaiser
| and his people for their atrocities:
unmercifully flayed the Kaiser for
his blasphemy. "The God of our Lord
Jesus Christ is not on the side of the
Kaiser." declaimed the bishop ve
hemently. "If this be the side God
is on, then the hope of the world is
gone; but it is the truth that God is
I not on the side Of the murderer of
Edith Cavell, or the women and chil
dren of the Lusitania."
Prof. Fisher in closing his remarks
demanded the immediate abolition of
liquor, and stigmatized the National
Brewer's Association.
The community singing during the
; meeting was led by Mrs. J. G. San
j <lers. David E. Tracy presided and
Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge, of the
Pine Street Presbyterian Church, of
j fered prayer.

PEACE HOPE PLACED
IN FRONT DRIVE

interviewed at the same time and the
two German leaders apparently were
convinced that for Germany force
was needed tjo bring about peace.
The chief quartermaster-general said
concerning the fighting which has
since broken out in Northern France:
"The final fighting in the west, of
course, cannot be compared to the
fighting in Galicia or in Itaiy. The
enemy has a powerful reserve army
at hand, which he may move on his
splendidly laid-out railroad system
as he sees fit.
"But, .however heavy the fighting
may be. the battle must be fought
out. because, without it, peace is not
attainable."
i Wilhelm Hegcler, correspondent of
j the Berliner Tageblatt. in reporting:
j the interview, described Von Hinden
burg "as a picture of quiescent
greatness," while Ludendorff gave
the impression of having- strength of
volcanic heat, but curbed by will.
The correspondent says that when
the conversation turned to events in
the east. Field Marshal von Hinden
burg referred to charges that in con
cluding peace "we acted like men of
violence." said it was necessary to
I obtain frontier safeguards.
"As we wanted peace, we had to
bring it about by force," was the
interjection of General Ludendorff.
Peace in the east meant a tre
mendous relief for the Germans on
the west, Ludendorff said, adding:
laidenilorfT'n i'altli in Might
"Now we are about to gain the
ascendancy numerically. Of course,
the transportation of troops from the
east because of the bad condition of
the railroads cannot be effected by
to-morrow. But at any rate our po
sition already is such that we do not
have to ask. looking up anxiously:
'Where will the enemy attack?' We
ourselves are in a position to as
sume the offensive wherever we de
sire."
Beferring to France, General Lu
dendorff said:
"We may well say, without ex
aggeration, that France has dug her 4
own grave. She is about to bleed
herself to death. Undoubtedly the
French are brave soldiers. - '
Knemy l.eadem KzprrNß Concern
Lieutenant-General von Ardone, tjie
military critic, in the Tageblatt on
March 20, the day before the begin
ning of the offensive, in an analysis
of the interview with the military
leaders wrote:
"The German army leaders look
forward with grave concern to the
final fighting. The saving of Ger
man blood they have at all times
considered as a sacred duty. But the
German people and their allies will
have to accept the necessity that the
final battle must be fought out."

BY DONALD McCORMICK
President, the Dauphin Deposit
Trust Company
DETERMINED TO WIN
I WISH I could convince the men
and women of Harrisburg that
these Liberty Loans present an
unequaled opportunity to start on
the road to systematic saving.
If those of us who have not' ac
quired the saving habit will begin
now by acquiring a Liberty Bond,
we will find a great satisfaction in
knowing that we have become in
vestors in a moderate degree; ond
we will be Incited to continue to
save.
Many successful men tell us that
the first hundred dollars was the
hardest to save.
A youth who starts to save a dollar
a week will when it has become 110
be anxious to see It grow to be $100:
and his ambition in this regard will
prompt him to save $2 or $3 a week,
instead of the original one dollar
he put away.
The man who becomes the owner
of a bond is loath to- part with it;
he desires others like it—and his am
bition is to have two or more Lib
erty Bonds in the place where only
one was before.
Men and women who bought Lib
erty Bonds in the first flotation—and
who thus made their first real in
vestment—will tell you if you ask
them that they feel a real satisfac
tion in ownership of those bonds:
and the same thing will be true of
you six months hence if you buy
bonds of the third issue.
Let the rich and poor work hand
In hand, each doing his best to save
his country by making an invest
ment in proportion to his means.
When we have done that the Third
Liberty Loan will have been so suc
cessful that it will teach the Ger
mans we are In deadly earnest about
this war—and are determined to
win.
