FRIDAY, AUGtST 2. 1918 To tell truth, rightly understood, is i not to state the true facts, but to con vey a true impression; truth iit spirit, not truth to letter, is the true > I veracity. — STEVENSON. THE OFFICIAL NEWS DURING the past few days nu-1 merous startling reports of American losses and also of j incredible American victories have ! been in circulation. Where they started or by whom nobody knows. That they have been generally dis cussed and are believed by many persons, is evident from the large \ number of inquiries relating to the rumors which are received daily at the Telegraph office. "Is it true the Crown Prince has been captured?" "Have the Americans surrounded 250.000 Germans?" "Have you any verification of the report that the whole 112 th regi ment has been wiped out?" These and many other queries of the kind float into this newspaper office over the telephones every day. and not a few anxious Inquirers are disposed- to discredit the reply that there Is no truth in them. For some reason the average man or woman Is disposed to accept as facts the wildest reports that find their way | Into circulation and to doubt the truth of their denial. What Shake- i speare said of jealous lovers applies equally to most of us under any cir cumstances where our dearest inter ests are at stake, when "Trifles light' as a!r" become "confirmations strong as Holy Writ." But we would save ourselves much worry if we declined to be lieve any war rumor not substan tiated by well-established authority. The newspapers may on many occa sions themselves publish items con cerning the truth of which they have some doubt, but they are always careful to label these as reports to be taken merely for what they are worth, and not by any means at full face value. Of this character was the dispatch of yesterday from the notoriously biased German Wolf's news bureau, having to do with heavy losses in the 110 th regiment, embracing in its membership hundreds of men from Central Pennsylvania. It is very likely that both the 110 th and 112 th have lost a considerable num ber of men. It would be miraculous If they had gone through the pres ent severe fighting without serious losses In some units. But the extent of the casualties as eutlined in yes terday's dispatch Is in all likelihood greatly exaggerated, A good plan Is not to believe any thing until the news Is given out officially or !s verified by the Asso ciated Press, the greatest of the news gathering associations of the world, the war reports of whloh ap pear from day to day in this news paper. We haven't heard much criticism of "Austrian weakness" from Berlin since the American drive started. HIS JUST DESSERTS PATRIOTIC Americans will be unanimous in the opinion that Field Marshal Eichhorn, who was murdered by a Russian revolu tionist, got his Just desserts. Eich horn had been Industriously robbing the Ukraine of lu grain. That the people of the invaded territory were left with little between themselves and starvation meant nothing to him. A hundred thousand Ukrain ians more or less was a mere mat ter of mathematics, and the fewer there were of them the less grain they would eat He sowed the wind and he reaped the whirlwind. .He has gone to join the slayer of Edith Cavell and the ravager of Belgium to act aa a reception committee for the JCaiser when Satan Anally comes into his own. There is poetic Justice in the . death of this German brute, but FRIDAY EVENING, thara la more than that. The killing of two Qerman diplomats of high rank within a few week* by Russian revolutionists Indicates that there Is a steadily rising anger In Russia against the Bolshevik officials and their Oornian masters. The double murder leads to the hope that this pro-ally element may soon come Into the ascendancy in Russia and compel the Qerman government to recon struct its eastern front, thus remov ing many regiments from the west ern war front at a time when the Kaiser can ill spare them and when every Increase of man-power in favor of the allies brings the end of the war appreciably nearer. "The United States has 4,283.000 Methodists in the Northern States," says an exchange, which is possibly one of the reasons why the Red Cross collections are klways so generously large. CHAMBER S WAR WORK THE newly-created official bul letin of the Chamber of Com merce, "Harrisburg," as it has been named, sets forth, among many other Interesting things concerning the city, an editorial on the war work the Chamber has done in the past year and more. Calling atten tion to the fact that Harrisburg has exceeded by a wide margin every call which the nation has made upon it, the bulletin has this to say con cerning the utility of organizations of the kind in the crisis through which we are now passing: It is a notable fact that in every community where there exists a live, efficient Chamber of Com merce no war effort has been per mitted to fail of accomplishing the goal set and in numerous in stances the results have greatly exceeded the expectations of the Government and even of the com munity itself. On the other hand. It is interesting to note, through out the country, cases in which war projects have failed simply for want of definite local organ- ized leadership. The Harrisburg Chamber of Com | merce and all others which have Served the government so well since war was declared have justified their existence by their deeds, even though they had done nothing else. The value of a live Chamber of Commerce to a community often cannot be easily estimated. It is dif ficult to lay one's finger on any one benefit specifically traceable to the work of the organization in the com plex life of the municipality. But in the organization of the Liberty Loan and other big drives, for example, the connection is easy to see. The Chamber in Harrisburg has afforded the government an organized piece of machinery ready for any com munity work necessary to be under taken and it has responded gener ously to every call and very effici ently, as the results indicate. Membership in commercial bodies of the kind may not be productive of much direct personal profit, but every citizen connected with the business life of the community ought to be a member If for no other than patriotic motives. The confidence the government places In these or ganizations Is evidenced by the fact that they are used as war agencies in every city and town where a live body of the kind exists. Harrisburg is fortunate in having an instrument of the kind for such service as the nation may desire of it. We expect to hear from Berlin shortly that the cruel Americans have left wounded German prisoners in Red Cross hospitals in danger of being bombed by German aviators. OUR BOYS IX ITALY THOSE American soldiers In Italy have certainly aroused the en thusiasm of the people of that poetic land. a war correspond ent's tale of the arrival of our boys: Trains carrying the soldiers al ternated with long lines of camp equipment, automobiles, samp kitchens, portable ovens, all of the most complete and efficacious description, while Italians of all classes and ages thronged the stations, giving their American comrades such an outpouring of fraternal welcome and admiring emotion that it made absolutely unforgetable scenes. Ladles offered fruit, cigarets. coftee, flowers and postcards. Princess Laetitla. the King's aunt, stepmother of the Dukes of Aosta and Abruzzi, came in per son. expressing to the American boys the welcome of the women of Italy. In admiration for America's glorious effort, mem bers of the Italo-Amerlcan Union came in large numbers, mixing with the American soldiers and teling them that the Americans would find In every Italian they met a friend and brother. And the splendid faith that the Americans are fighting for liberty and humanity has permeated the whole of the allied countries so that to-day they are received everywhere as the Big Brother of a weary world. What, we wonder, did the married man. whose family Is out of town, do before the movies were created. MORE GERMAN LIES THE August Ist proclamation of Kaiser Wllhelm to the de luded people of Germany Is another masterpiece of falsehood and balderdash. There Is no word of truth In It and the whole thing is a tissue of misrepresentation and Insincerity. "American armies and numerical superiority do not frighten us," says the Kaiser. In this sentence we have the reason for the proclamation. It Is Wllhelm's first • acknowledgment that America Is really a great fac tor In the war and that the prepon derance of numbers is gradually swinging to the allies. "Don't be afraid; I'm not," he tells his fast wavering subjects, but he produces no convincing argu ments to bolster up the He. With hie armies being swept back In decisive defeat over a wide front and the victorious Americans sweeping for ward at every point of contact ho cries out in desperate effort to still the rising tide of dissatisfaction at home, "Don't be scared; see how brave I am," the while he is trem bling in his boots and sweating blood at every pore. He is like a small boy In a graveyard at mid night whistling to prove to his com panions that he is not frightened. No better evidence that the Al lies have the advantage in the pres ent fighting could be asked thah this latest wail of the Kaiser. It is weak from the first word to the last It Is a dismal appeal for con tinued support from a sullen, dis contented people. It is designed to give the (German newspapers a theme upon which they can harp while trying to minimize the Ger man defeat. But it is as true of Germany as it was of America when Llnooln said it, that while "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, you can't fool all the peo ple all the time." How long a ma jority of the Germans will swallow the sort of fodder the Kaiser is passing out is problematical, but at least nobody on this side of the water is deceived. l[ Tolltict IK By the Ex-Committeeman Senator William C. Sproul and Senator Edward E. Beidleman. can didate for Governor arid Lieutenant Governor on the Republican ticket, will make an informal start of their campaign to-morrow at the Shade Gap picnic in the Orbisonia district of Huntingdon county. This gather ing is a noted one for the Juniata valley and originally planned as a soldiers - picnic it has become an event among the people of Hunting don, Mifflin, Juniata and other coun ties and the Senators have been as sured of a warm welcome. Senator Sproul will arrive here during the morning from Philadel phia and be joined in Harrisburg by Senator Beidleman and Auditor Gen eral Charles A. Snyder. A number of men connected with the Republican state organization and the state gov ernment will accompany them. Monday the two Senators will ad dress the Lancaster county Repub lican committee and then go to Montgomery county. —Democratic state windmill men are all ears now over Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell. their somewhat recal citrant candidate for Governor. They are not saving much but thev are listening attentively to everything that the judge does or savs about the campaign. Sate Chairman McLean, who is in Washington, will continue to hold the title of state chairman, but arren VanDyke, the secretary, will do the work. Major McLean planned to take a leave of absence when he went into the Army and to name an acting chairman, but it was the occasion for a fresh demand on the part of Bonniwell that he sur render the levers of the machine and the major concluded to hold on. His course has the approval of National Committeeman A. Mitchel Palmer and his pals. The Philadelphia Inquirer says that Judge Bonniwell is in earnest in demanding that J. Washington Logue quit the ticket as candidate for Lieutenant Governor, in order that some one may be named who is in sympathy with the Bonniwell plat form. The Inquirer says: "Logue, who is a former president of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society. Is regarded as out of place upon a ticket the head of which has pro claimed against sumptuary legisla tion of all kinds and is unqualifiedly opposed to the ratification of the proposed prohibition amendment to the federal constitution. —ln calling again for the with- | drawal of Candidate Logue. Judge j Bonniwell, among other things, said: 1 "Logue was nominated for Congress in the Sixth distriot by an over whelming majority and since the President needs Democrats in Con gress to uphold him in carrying through his policies, it is Mr. Logue's duty to withdraw from the state ticket and run for Congress. Mr. Logue, however, gives no indication of obliging Judge Bonniwell and quitting the race. —Berks county Democrats do re sign office. It has just been announc ed that Herbert Schwartz has quit as warden of the county prison to suc ceed his brother in the hotel busi ness. —The claim is now made in Wilkes-Barre that police officers ac cused merely did their duty in the rounding up of grafters. The pros pects are that there will be some court actions. -—Johnstown has put policemen's salaries up to slls a month and has vacancies, while York is going to the sllO mark. All over the state the po lice situation is most unusual and has upset local political conditions in a dozen places. —There are signs that the Fifth ward case may end next week. The defendants are developing bad mem ories. —lt is probable that one of the earliest matters to be considered by the next state administration will be the relation of men holding appoin tive places under the .present admin istration and who go into military service to the state payroll. Under the act of 1917 it is provided that ap pointive employes on going into the service shall be entitled to half pay and are not to be removed. Un der this act a number of men have gone into service and their friends claim they are safe as long as the war lasts no matter how antago nistic they may be to the incoming of ficials. A legal test is likely. The present administration has held very strongly that the power which can appoint may remove. —A. Nevin Detrich, examiner-in chief of the State Insurance Depart ment, late chairman -of the late Washington party and lately a field man for the O'Xeil campaign, will on Monday enter the United States serv ice and make application to be put on the half pay list. Here's a Live Thought Why can't independent women take up housework for patriotic rea sons, as the farmerettes have taken up farming to help the farmers? I am sure it would do almost as much good, for many young women are fit ted for simple household duties and could release weary mothers for oc casional Red Cross work. One of my greatest griefs is that I cannot leave the children to do Red Cross work. Helpers like that would do so much good that it would be an in spiration to the whole country.— From a Letter to the Editor of New York Sun. Right and Fitting The new version is— Oh, woodman, cut that tree. Spare not a single bough; From bugs we've long protected it And it shall warm us now. From the Boston Transcript. TELEGRAPH OH, MAN!

Inquirer] Representative Brady, of this city, who made a good fight for a com pulsory military training bill in the last session of the Pennsylvania Leg islature, has drawn up a new bill on similar lines which he proposes to introduce at the next session, and he asks for the support of all citi zens who are interested in this most vital subject. % The new measure covers all schools in the Commonwealth—pub lic, private and parochial—and pro vides that every male student over the age of 12 shall undergo military instruction and training for at least one half day each week. The only exception is to those whose religious tenets forbid them to engage in war. The training is to be under the su pervision of a state military board, which is empowered to arrange for summer encamjjments of one week, the expense of which is to be borne by the state. Thus, between the regular weekly instruction and the annual encampment the boys are expected to get a knowledge of mili tary tactics somewhat similar to that given under the old National Guard system. • Mr. Brady is to be commended for making an issue of this matter at this time, and if it is properly pre sented in the various legislative dis tricts of the state there is no doubt that it will receive sufficient sup port to win a majority of the mem bers to this bill or to some similar measure at the next session of the Legislature. There has been a wide spread demand for compulsory military training in the schools for a long time, but heretofore attempts to introduce such instruction have been defeated by the professional pacifists and those who have argued, like the unlamented William Jen nings Bryan, that in times of war millions of farmers would grab their pitchforks and rout the enemy. It happens, however, that war is not waged in that manner in these days. It has become an exact sciehce al most and requires special training both of the mind and the body. COLONEL'S SERVICE [From the Minneapolis Tribune] Colonel Roosevelt declines to be come a candidate for Governor of New York. He could have had the nomination If he had been willing to take it. He declines not because he does not regard the office as big enough to deserve his time and abil ity, but because to serve the state in that capacity as it ought to be served would not leave him the opportunity to do what he hopes to do to help win the war. In winning the war Colonel Roose velt has been a large factor. No vision has been clearer, no voice has been more inspiring, no zeal more influential in tuning up the senti ment of the country to the pitch to which it has at last at tained. He preached war when oth ers counseled peace; he declared our duty to join in the struggle against autocracy when others insisted upon neutrality; he was for preparedness when others saw no reason for it; he advocated universal training long be fore it had become a popular con viction and in favor of wfcich those in high authority have only very re cently declared themselves. "Nine tenths of wisdom," to use his own suggestive phrase, "consists in being wise in time." We still need him in the relation of leader. He will be on ahead of the rest of us most of the time, but we shall hear his voice and continue to follow in the direction in which he goes. We are nearly all occupy ing now the positions he >eld some time ago, but in the days of defeat for the enemy, when the enemy is offering terms of settlement that may tempt a war-weary world, we may need to be reminded of what he said at Saratoga. The War and Newspapers Publishers of the Seattle Times announced on July 14 a new scale of prices for that newspaper. Here after the daily will be three cents per copy, Instead of two cents, and the Sunday issue will be seven cents, instead of five. The daily and Sun day subscription price has been raised to $1 a month. "Times readers demand service, hence the new prices," said the pub lishers in explanation. "The cost of every item entering into the produc tion of' a newspaper has been in creased by the war. Everything published in peace times must be continued, and then, to everything else, must be added the coat of war news and war features." Other papers In the Pacific North west are expected to follow the lead of the Times.—Editor and -Pub lisher. What Children Know of War LIEUTENANT Coningsby Dawson tells of visiting an American Red Cross hospital for chil dren in France, in the current issue of Good Housekeeping. He tells of these small sufferers as follows: "Through villages swarming with troops and packed with ordnance we arrived at an old caserne, which had been converted into the children's hospital of the district. It is in charge of one of the first of Amer ica's children's specialists. "Here are 500 little patients. This barracks converted into a hospital is full of babies, the youngest being only 6 days old when I was there. Many of the children have no par ents. Others have lost their moth ers; their fathers are serving in the trenches. It is not always easy to find out how they came to be or phans, there are such plentiful chances of losing parents who live continually under shellfire. One lit tle boy, on being asked where his mother was, replied gravely: 'My mama, she is dead. Les Boches, they put a gun to 'er head. She is finished. I have no mama.' • "The unchildlike stoicism of these children is appalling. I spent two days among them and heard no cry ing. Those who are sick lie mo tionless as waxen images in their cots. Those who are sunposedly well sit all day brooding and saying nothing. When first they arrive, their faces are earth colored. The first thing they have to be taught is how to be children. They have to be coaxed and induced to play; even then they soon grow weary. They seem to regard mere playing as friv- WHITE LILIES OF FRANCE Lilies of France, in your brave ar ray.

Woman's Work in California (From the San Luis Obispo Tribune) At Paso Robles Mrs. B. Erdman is driving the water wagon for that city. As Mrs. Erdman has assisted her husband in moving houses, up rooting tree stumps and other heavy work, she is reported to be filling the Job in a manner satisfactory to the city trustees. She is probably the first woman in the state to have a seat on the water wagon and draw pay for being there. Worry of an Arkansas Town (From the Pope County Record) We have noticed that some per sons, when staking out their cows tie them too near the sidewalk so that the animals stand on the walk or stretch the rope across and make a nuisance of themselves generally. Owners should be more careful.

Children of seven have seen more cf horror in three years than most old men have read about in a lifetime. Many of them have been captured by and recaptured from the Huns. They have been in villages where the dead lay in piles and not even the women wers spared. They have been present while indecencies were worked upon their mothers. They have seen men hanged, shot, bayoneted and flung to roast in burning houses. The pic tures of all these things hang in their eyes. When they play, it is out of politeness to the kind Amer icans, not because they derive any pleasure from it. "Night is the troublesome time. The children hide under their beds with terror. The nurses have to go the rounds continually. If the chil dren would only cry, they would give warning. But, instead, they creep silently out from between the sheets and crouch against the floor like dumb animals! That is what they are when first they are brought in. Their most primitive instincts for the beginnings of cleanliness seem to have vanished. They have been fished out of caves, ruined dug outs, broken h'ouses. They are as full of skin diseases as the beggar who sat outside Dives' gate, only they have had no dogs to lick their sores. They have lived on offal so long that they have the faces of the ex tremely aged. And their hatred! Di rectly you utter the word 'Boche' all the little night-gowned figures sit up in their cots and curse. When they have done cursing, of their own ac cord they sing the 'Marseillaise.' " TOWN BUREAUS MERGE A merger of the American City Bureau and Town Development Com pany, the oldest and largest cam paign organization in the United States, became effective August 1. Announcement of the merger over the signatures of Harold S. Butten heim and Will L. Finch, the presi dents of the two organizations, was received to-day from New York, where they are both located, by the local Chamber of Commerce. The combined organization will be known as the American City Bureau, and will have its main offices in the Trib une building. New York. Town Development Company, the older of the two organizations, was formed seven years ago, and was the pioneer advocate of intensive cam paigns for enlarging the membership and broadening the scope of com mercial organizations. One of its earliest and most notable achieve ments was a campaign for the Mer chants' Association of .New York, which increased the income of that organization from $66,000 a year to 1175,000; and in a second campaign three years later, the annual income was further increased to $275,000. More than eighty cities have been served by the company in the course of its seven years of operation. Mr. Finch conducted a campaign for the HarriSburg Chamber of Commerce two years ago. Good-by, Baseball! (From the Kansas City Times) Organized baseball is accepting the government's decree In the same spirit that all Americans have re sponded to every call for sacrifice. The men in charge have been good sports In prosperity, and they are good sports in adversity. The baseball situation is merely another result of the nation's strip ping for action. War is America's one business. Everything else is in cidental. So far as possible, of course, the Industries of the coun try must be carried on. But we have only a certain amount of national energy. As more of it is directed to war, less is left for other purposes. The problem is to cut down the less essential things so that the energy that was devoted to them may be available elsewhere. Expected Too Much "Look here, waiter;" said Mr Joyce, scowling deeply over his plate, "I ordered turtle soup. There is not even a morsel of turtle flavor in this." "Of course not,' said the waiter.
