It was never contemplated that the main driveway of the city along the river should be utilized for all manner of heavy traffic, but during I the last two months the conditions have become so intolerable that It will soon be necessary to surrender the street entirely to traffic and I drays and every kind of vehicle, to . the exclusion of the tourist travel and the pleasure driving in the city. We do not believe that the gentle men of the City Council will permit this to be done, but unless stringent •ules and regulations are at once adopted regarding this driveway the ' situation is bound to get worse in stead of better. So. also, with respect to the heavy trucks that are gradually breaking down the asphalt streets and which will entail upon the city an enor- j jsious bill of repair during the next I year or two. Of course, the ordinary traffic of the business community ' must be considered, but under proper regulations. Elimination of the smoke nuisance in Pittsburgh has attracted the at tention of civic leaders throughout the country. Time was when it was contended that a city should con tinue to suffer indefinitely from tons of dirt sifted over the community through the atmosphere. Scientific means have been discovered, however, for the elimination of smoke, and it ought to be the business of the City Council of Harrisburg to see to it j that steps are taken to prevent any increase of the smoke nuisance whll? ✓- efforts are being made to get rid of ! it altogether. Elimination of the smoke also means a conservation of ; fuel, because it has been demonstrated that enormous heating energy is wasted through the consumption of coal in the old way. THE PUBLIC KNOWS ONE book publishing firm in the ! United States a'.or. a announces twelve different new fortheom- ' lng volumes by as many learned authors on the "causes of the war." With paper scarce and the world facing a paper famine here are waste! materials and effott. Indeed. Nobody needs to be told the "causes of the war." There Is no plural about St. The cause of the war was Germany's devilish greed. We all know that. That's the rea son we're fighting. And twelve more books on the subject won't make our conclusions any clearer. We know all we want to know about the canse of the war, and we know how we are going to end it. Jehn Kendrlek Bang* has returned from the other side full of inspira tion gained after a study of the defi nite and substantial efforts which are making through the help of American women to reconstruct the devastated ■eetlons of France. Mr. Bangs says !t Is not rebuilding of houses, but re building souls, and points out the lm , portar.ee of this work to preserve the spirit of the French people. ANOTHER GERMAN LIE THE German lie still persists and the pro-German liar is as busy i as in this country. The latest, which General Pershing has been at pains to deny, is that the American high command in France is putting colored troops wherever there is the most danger. This is so silly that it scarcely needed to be refuted, and as Gen eral Pershing point out, while negro soldiers of the American expedition ary force have so distinguished themselves as to win medals of honor, the great burden of the fight ing has been borne by white troops, which is altogether proper since they are in far greater number* than their colored comrades. The colored men will give good ac count of themselves in this war, as they have done in the past, but they will not be asked to do more than their share, and they know it. This is their first opportunity to fight for democracy sines they cams into THURSDAY EVENING, , their own freedom and no German j lies are going to keep them from . making their might felt. What a shock the Kaiser would re ceive were he to take a trip through the Cumberland county wheat belt ) Just now. NATIONAL PLEDGE DA? THIS is .National Pledge Day. It has been especially v set apart by President Wilson as a time upon which we shall testify to, our loyalty in terms of dollars and cents: in short, that we shall show our "de votion by investing in Thrift and War Stamps to the extent of our ability and pledging ourselves to buy more during the reminder of | the year. Loyalty in peace times and loyalty j in war times are two distinct things. Not much is required to pass the loy ' alty test when one's country is not at war; a simple compliance with J the law is all that is required. But loyalty in war times is not a , passive Quality. At such a time one may be without loyalty and still not be disloyal. A person of this type j will do nothing either to assist or to. ! harm his country. He will not give; j himself to his country's service and I he will not contribute financial sup- j | port. Neither will he discourage > others from doing this. He will do |or say nothing treasonable, and I neither will he do or say anything to put heart in the fighting forces or to ] uphold the Nation in its struggle.' He will be simply a passive onlook er. And that is not being loyal. Our country is fighting in the most desperate struggle of history. It is .a struggle so vast and momentous as ' to demand the most complete sup- J port of every one of its citizens.! Passive loyal ty—the loyalty of peace j times—is not sufficient. The brand of loyalty now demanded is the! kind that impels one to offer himself | and his all, if necessary, that his j country may be victorious in thej j great conflict. Most of us can not go into the j fightirfg forces; most of us can not; enter into those industries directly j connected with the war, but all of | us can show our neighbors that we j have the right brand of patriotism, j Our Government is urging upon us j the necessity of saving as an essen- i tial to victory. We are told that there is not enough man power and : not sufficient materials in the coun-, try to win a quick victory if we con-[ tinue to use this man power and ■ these materials as we did before the j war. It is pointed out that there are \ now more than 2.000.000 men in the Army and Navy, and that by August) 1 this number will be increased to j 5.000,000, with a steady addition to t that number from then on. These; men not only cease to be producers. 1 but they become consumers on a vast scale. Thus it is that we are urged to buy only thae things which we • need in order that we shall not use J up labor and waste materials and transportation, so vitally necessary! to the Government in its war work > and so much needed in the manu- j facture of things essential to the, health and efficiency of our citizens, i By following the Government's request to produce to our maximum I capacity and to cor.suaie as little as : possible, we shall give practical ex- j pression to our loyalty—a militant j loyalty, the brand which stamps us as being willing to do our part at j home by sacrificing, by getting down to a war basis, by backing up .our j Government with all our strength.! With our money savings we can then buy War Savings Stamps and per- j form a double service by giving the Government current funds with' which to buy the labor and materials so much needed for war purposes' which we have refrained from us ing. That is loyalty. And so, when you go to your i school house, or wherever your: community meeting is to be held' this evening, be prepared to take' your stand among those who fight' with their dollars as well as with their hearts. The bullet that will' lay the Kaiser low will be a silver bullet. It is stated by an authority that America will come out of the war with the greatest tonnage of merchant vessels owned by any single nation in the world. We shall have a complete merchant marine, with all types of j shipping and for the different ser vices of commerce. Rapidly out* great industrial and commercial leaders are workin<- out the problem which will place the United States in its proper relation to the business of the world after the struggle in which most of the nations are now engaged. It is expected that the Fourth of July will be celebrated by the launching of al most one hundred vessels of different types, and there could be no better way of celebrating the great day. There is a disposition in all quar ters to -root out ever}- atom of Ger man propaganda. It is proposed to rip out the language, the literature and everything else that smacks of Germany. "The Hidden Hand" is the mysterious influence that has been set in motion throughout the United States to eliminate the subtle influ ence of pacifism. pro-Germanism and the other isms generated by Hun phil osophy. While the Kipona must wait until the end of the war. we shall keep in mind the beautfful river spectacle which attracted so much attention and ought in the future to be an an nual Harrisburg event. Why is it that the Weather Man ' always precedes the bass season with J two or three feet of muddy water in i the river? The war gardener's idea of heaven is a place where vegetables grow faster than weeds. Figure out your War Stamp quota, i and then go around and "take the pledge." All visitors compliment the dignified treatment of the Penn-Harris Hotel, and already the fame of the big public , house of entertainment is spreading far and wide. It la not unlikely that the hotel will prove ao popular from the very atart that an enlargement will be necessary. ! Diax! And yet they say there is nothing in a name. Get your alibi ready, the bass sea •on opens July 1. TcUtU* U 'PuvWAUua By B Bx-Onmuluceaai hj Humors of peace moves among the ] warring Democratic leaders are | commencing to be heard and from all accounts the Democratic con- I gressmen whose fears of defeat gave A. Mitchell Palmer, Vance C. Mc- Cormick and other rcorgantrcrs their excuse for upsetting the leaders of the Pennsylvania Democracy in 1911 are at the bottom of the latest ef fort to get the party put into a sem blance of order. It is also intimated 1 that President Wilson is displeased with the carryings-on in Pennsyl vania and as a great believer in party j regularity is understood to be exert ing some pressure on the machine ! bosses to give Judge Bonniwell some | consideration. The situation is believed to be at the bottom of the delay of State Chairman George R. McLean in ; starting the campaign. Mr. McLean did a very peculiar thing the mom i ing after his election as chairman. 1 Instead of going to the headquarters to take charge of things and at least to assume the job he packed off to I Washington on the first train he could get and is reported to have spent part of the day in deep con . sulfation with -National Chairman | Vance C. McCormick. some times | called the majority stockholder in ; the State Democratic machine. He has not been back here since and it is now stated that he will not be here until nevt week or maybe: ! not then. In any event there will bol a few sirwis of activity about the I Democratic state windmill until the j middle of July. —Early this week some men friendly to both Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell. the Democratic candidate • for Governor, and Palmer and his f pals began to flit between them. This is the role which Robert S. | Bright tried to carry out prior to the J state committee meeting. In any i event there has been a sudden cessa ! tion of hostilities in the Bonniwell I camp and the state windmill is i showing signs of laziness. —lt is said that Congressman Ar thur G. Dewalt and Harry J. Steele, i representing the old sure Democratic I districts in the state and who were renominated in spite of the opposi | tion of Palmer and his pals, have f become disturbed over some signs 1 which they have seen in the fields of 1 Lehigh and Northampton counties and to be demanding that Judge i Bonniwell get off his horse. In the i Sixteenth district. Congressman i Lesher is said to be demanding that i things be improved, while some of I the accidental Democratic congress men in the western end of the state i are looking ahead and trying to get a working agreement which will not result in their being battered up. —Judge Bonniwell is frankly "wet;' most of the Palmer-McCor mick crowd, except the national , chairman are inclined to sidestep. The national chairman insists on a I "dry" platform. McLean is certain- Ily not a "dry." And yet there are i some who think that a campaign I pact can be made. —The drafting of the Democratic I rlatform will be in the hands of the resolutions committee from which McLean excluded all Bonniwell men, but which contains certain gentle-1 men from Philadelphia. Lehigh and other counties who have never beenj noted for "dry" tendencies. Bonni- j well is said to favor a "wet" declara- I tion under guise of "personal lib-' erty"; McCormick is insisting upon a "bone dry" platform. —Some of the Bonniwell people] fear the state committee will never' be called again to act on a platform 1 and some of the machine crowd are, saying that such things should not! be mentioned as they might inter- j fere with the winning of the war or i some such absurd effort to choke off i discussion. The fact remains thati the Democrats have got a lovely! tight on their hands with the Presi- j ident and congressmen afraid that they are going to get hurt —Between <he police situations in' Philadelphia and Pittsburgh things are rather strenuous for. the exe cutives of these cities. —The official tables of the pri mary vote have been issued by George D. Thorn, chief clerk to the j Secretary of the Commonwealth.' They include only the main parties, the Washington and Roosevelt Pro gressive which polled only a few votes not being listed, although this year they will be on the ballot, but probably cease from troubling the] ballot makers hereafter. —Another one of York's police men has resigned and the city's police force is more or less full of holes. The troubles in York seem to be the same as in other cities where the salaries paid policemen do not meet what is offered in the trades. —Governor Brumbaugh is report ed to be considering a Luzerne man for Public Service Commissioner, although the statement was made at the Executive Department that no appointment is imminent. —A shakeup among employes of the Department of Public Grounds and Buildings and the appearance of women in various jobs would not be a surprising July development at the Capitol. America's Heart in France [From the Kansas City Times.] The heart of America, says Dr. John R. Mott is in France. Truly, where the treasure is there the heart ' is also, and all that America holds dear is in France. The hopes of mothers and fathers, the happiness of homes, all the aspirations and expectations of life are now cen tered there, where too are staked the ideals of the nation. Problem of One-Shirt Man If a shirt which cost $1 before the war costs $2, does the man who had i but one shirt before the war wear a' half shirt, and if so, will'he be kind i enough to say where he gets it and how he camouflages the unshirted part of him? —Louisville Courier- Journal. Not Feasible Hippopotamus meat is"said to be as good as pork, but the chances are that a lot of hippopotau_ running about would muss up a backyard almost as much as chickens. Marion (Ohio) Star.

We don't suppose the Thing, as President Wilson calls It, really has the ghost of an idea that this per formance off our Atlantic coast is going to do it a particle of good, per se. as we say in Ohio, but doubt less the 'idea is that it will serve to make the parsnip soup go down a little more easily at home for a while. —Columbia Ohio, State Jour nal. RAILROAD NAMES The report that the government railroad administration is to discon tinue special names for fast trains is thus unfavorably commented upon in the editorial pages of The Rail way Review: "The thermometer up to around ninety at Washington this week, and the 'silly season" opened with an announcement that the rail road administration will abolish the names of passenger-trains, such as 'Twentieth Century Limited,' 'Black Diamond Express.' 'Congressional Limited,' 'Overland Limited,' etc., because such names are advertising land hence taboO. If this is done the 'next step will be to abolish names of roads, like 'New York Central Lines,' Santa Fe System,* 'Pennsylvania I Lines,' etc., and designate them sim ply as divisions 1, 2, 3, etc., of the | United States Railway Administra ' tion. Then go the names of stations, such as Chicago. Pittsburgh, Balti more, etc., for all of these are 'ad | vertising," and, finally, we shall have to address each other as 'citizen,' w-ith a penitentiary convict number, as our cognomen. If the statement as published is true, it must be that some one has sprained his brain in an endeavor to discredit government control. But we prefer to believe it the product of a reporter's desire to get something to make good copy, rather than a fact —although it seems to be a fact that passenger i fares are to be put on actual mileage basis. At a time when the govern ment Is advertising to an extent never before dreamed of through the generosity of the press, and profit ing enormously by tt. there seems to be a conspiracy to discredit advertis ing as being only 'an agency of com petition." When it comes to de nouncing names as 'advertising,' this sublime idea makes itself supremely ridiculous. By the way. what be comes of that wonderful list of Pull man-car names the .origin of which has been the great amusement puzzle of travel? And as for economy, think of the paint required to paint all the names ofT and substitute num bers!" United States Language [From the Paterson (N. J.) Press- Guardian] "Can you speak the language of the United States?" asks a card car ried by the members of the Ameri can Protective Association. We don't know whether we can or not, but 'we'll do our best to reproduce a con versation we heard on a street car yesterday. "Wheurjygo las nights?" "Nownrs. Stay dnt home." "I seen Marry Pickferd in a swell play. Jim come ovem picked me uppin the Lizzie." "Heeza live one, ainty?" "Buhlieve me." "Goan out t'night?" "Huh-huh. Mean Coraz goantuh Gert's. Jye ver go over there?" "TThuh. Slong. Gotta gittoff next top." "Slonfc." Burden For Stylish Stouts [From the New York World.] The one-delivery-a-day plan puts In the way or the woman slacker a neat bit to do. She- can carry her own small packages home. Little Brother's Sorry Now [From the Springfield Republican.] "Come on In, the water's fine," Kaiser Wtlhelm has been saying to Kaiser Karl ever since March 21. yet it looks as though it had been necessary at Inst to push little broth ' er off the springboard. The Only Peace Terms Which We Should Ever Consider From live Manufacturers' Record UNCONDITIONAL surrender must be America's answer to any suggestion of peace from Germany, and there should be no consideration even of unconditional surrender until Germany's armies have by the ppwer of might been driven from every country which they nave overrun and until millions of soldiers of the Allies —which means our soldiers and the soldiers of our European Allies —have march ed through Germany and Austria and Turkey and taken possession of Berlin, Vienna and Constantinople. Not until this has been done will the people of these countries fully comprehend that all their boasted power is gone and that they have been overwhelmingly defeated.* Then when the rulers and the mili tary leaders jointly responsible for the last four years have been hanged or shot—and not until then—should there be any gathering around a peace table. Until our armies are in the capi tals of these countries of unspeak able crimes, and have made their rulers pay the last penalty in their own death, should we for one mo ment consider meeting the repre sentatives of these countries for peace. Unconditional surrender, not with the thought mat this may carry any sentimental effort of senti mentalists or neurotiqs to save these criminals from the just penalty of their crimes, should be the determ ination of all the Allies. We are not fighting in any war such as the world has ever known. We are not fighting human beings such as civilization has known. We are fighting fiends, super-fiends, who have brought upon the world such suffering, such an outpouring of blood, as has not been known through all the history of mankind. These criminals, these murderers, these rapists, these looters, these manglers of women and children, these fiends of hell itself, who put to shame all that hell had ever known, must be treated as we would treat the blackest criminal who ever disgraced humanity. To think of treating these criminals in any other way would indicate that we are with out moral backbone, without any moral standard, and ready to sacri fice honor and the civilization of the future. The men who have died on the battlefields of France and Bel LABOR NOTES Piecework rates in the British cotton industry are now 40 per cent, over standard. Each of the crew of the Glouces -1 ter, Mass.. fishing schooner Acushla, received $3,500 for his year's work. The practicability of protective clothing for women and girl workers has been demonstrated in British industries. • Girl Scouts in various parts of the country have embarked on the task of training women and girl war workers in housekeeping. Of the 8000 girls who applied for service as military telephone oper ators with the American forces abroad only 650 have been accepted. Sweden grants assistance to the unemployed and those without re sources. Massachusetts has three state public employment bureaus. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania pro vide for the Inspection of labor camps. Between 1901 and 1916 Canada had 1594 strikes, involving 398,391 employes. Switzerland limits the hours of factory employes to 10 hours a day. There are almost 7000 children under 16 employed in Rhode Island factories. Employes on French Government railroads are limited to a nine-hour day. As Far as They Can Think [From the Toledo Blade.] "Twottld be like the bright think ers among the Bolshevikl to figure that all their troubles could be end ed by the court-martial of the for i mer czar. gium and Italy and Russia and Serbia in defense of civilization will have died in vain if those who have caused their death do not themselves have to pay the death penalty. Let this thought be driven home, deep down Into the soul of every American man and woman, as well as of all in the countries who for nearly four years have stood between civilization and hell itselt. Let there be an evergrowing determina tion to punish these murdering na tions to the last extremity in the death of the criminal leaders and in a pecuniary punishment which for a century to come will tax to the utmost power the strength of Ger many and Austria and Turkey in order that they may help to atone for their unspeakable crimes and to pav to England, to France, to Bel gium, to Italy and to other allied countries, as well as to the United States, as far as money can do, the fearful money loss caused by the work of these looters and freeboot ers, these devils Incarnate. We absolutely dissent from the teaching that no indemnity from Germany and its allies shall be de manded by the United States. Why should we give millions of lives and billions of money to stay the rush of the murderers and looters and not demand repayment of the cost and the return of the loot? Idealism that we are fighting merely on altruistic principles must give way to stern, unflagging, never-ceasing determina tion to punish these robber nations and make them pay the full penalty for their crimes. As well might one think of count ing the devil himself as a friend; as well might one think of welcoming the devil into his home from some false, sentimental neurot'c Idea as to think of ever associating with the men who have been responsible for this war, whether they be the lead ers or those who have joyously been led. hoping that by looting the world they might enrich themselves and Germany and Austria and Turkey. These are the things which we must bear In mind when the time comes, as it surely will come, when Germany will plead for peace on Germany's terms and will work every pro-German influence In the world to create symathy for the cringing cowards, as in that day we shall find them t<# be. WINNING THE WAR Alfred J. Saunders, author of "Poems in Hoosler," recently visited the Red Croca Auxiliary at the gen eral offices of "Wilson & Company, where about five hundred of tfje young women of the office force meet i twice a week to make bandages, knit sweaters and socks and in other ways do Red Cross work. The next day Mr. Saunders sent to Mrs. Thomas K. Wilson, chairman of the auxiliary, the following poetical tribute, de dicated "to the Red Cross girls of Wilson & Company," and entitled, "The Hands That's Windin' Band j ages:" I The evenin's that you're Bpendln' - Makln' blessin's for our boys, ;In your thoughts—in years that's comin' — ( Will come back to you as joys, !
