The outdoor evening drills ; in the county have been suspended be j cause of early twilight, but instruc ; tioa will be given by Reserve officers at the Armory on Friday nights. The same arrankement will be made for men of lraft age living in the city dis tricts. The up-c#unty local committees are drilling their men as is also being done at Hershey. Steelton and Middle town. Hummelstown men are being instructed under a course outlined by A. Reeder Ferriday. Members of the Reserves on the ac tive list and men wishing to enroll should come to the Armory to-night prepared to give their measurements for uniforms. Company A will be re organized to-night and there will be some vacancies. Physician's Automobile and Truck in Collision The closed automobile of Dr. S. A. Kirkpatrick, New -Cumberland, was damaged about 5.30 yesterday afternoon when a Hershey Creamery Company truck struck it on the Mar ket street bridge. Neither the .driver of the truck or Mr. Kirkpatrick was injured. The accident apparently was unavoidable. THE KAISER AS I KNEW HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS By ARTHUR X. DAVIS, D. D. S. (Copyright, 1918, bj the Mctlure Newspaper Syndicate) The weak point in the foundation | upon which the German empire | rests to-day lies, in my opinion, in the fact that the loyalty of the peo ple has been retained by deception and misrepresentation. Ever since the war started the government has been feeding lies to the people, and the people have accepted them at their face value. What will happen when the Germans realize that their own government has wickedly de ceived them? With the soldiers returning front the front on furlough and the prop aganda of the Allies slowly but surely beginning to circulate among the people, the task of concealing the truth from the German people becomes increasingly difficult. Al ready the people are becoming rest less. Is it possible that they are about to wake up? What will the people do when it begins to dawn on thetjt that the war was started, not by the Euro pean powers to strangle Germany, but by the Kaiser and his war lords to dominate the world? What will they do when they re alize that the success of the U-boat campaign has been woefully exag gerated right from the start? What will they do tvhen they re alize that America came into the war out of the purest motives that ever inspired a nation? What will they do when they learn that America's power, grow ing evory day, will eventually be great enough, in combination with the Allies, to smash * the German empire? What will happen when the Ger man people realize that they ha* e been the pitiful victims of the in satiable thirst of the Kaiser and his supporters for world power, and that the sacrifices they have been compelled to make must inetitably prove futile? What will they do when they be gin to understand that four-fifths of the world is arrayed against Ger many, not to destroy the German people, but to emancipate it? The Kaiser and his . supporters have used very effective tools in their efforts to keep the truth from the people, and up till now they have been remarkably successful. How cleverly they have used Maximilian Harden, the ostensib.e champion of republicanism, to tool Directly Opposite Courthouse, Harrisburg Pa. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH the people, has perhaps never oc curred to the outside world, but I am firmly of the opinion that this vaunted pillar of democracy is to a great extent a wolf In sheep's clothing. His fearless criticism of the gov ernment from time to time has nat urally stamped him in the eyes of the world as the most outspoken of German Socialists and the bitterest of enemies of the Hohenollern regime. Unles I am very much mis taken, however, this able writer has been one of the most valued tools of the government and has been used to accomplish the Kaiser's ends, while ostensibly working to frustrate them. Has it never occurred to the Ger man people that unless the govern ment wanted Harden to talk in the way he does they would very quickly shut him up? Jias it been forgotten that the government did suppress Die Zukunft, his weekly organ, for the duration of the war, but that it is now appearing again? When, only a few weeks ago, the people's champion wrote, in Die Zu kunft, the weekly which the gov ernment had perviously suppressed: "International law forbids Ger many to retain even one pebble of Belgian streets, and commands Ger many to restore Belgium to the con ditions before invasion. Is Belgium, as a Chancellor, a State Secretary and an Ambassador have confessed, an innocent victim of German self defense? Then we have to ask its forgiveness and not force conditions upon it. This is a question of the decency, morality and honor of a nation," what did it signify? To me its meaning was very obvi- l ous. It confirmed an idea that I had long held: that Harden was being, used by the government to fool the people. If the government had had any serious hope of being able to re tain Belgium, it would certainly never have allowed Harden, in his suppYessed journal, to advocate its. release. Realizing, however, that in view of the turn things have taken, Germany will have to give up Bel gium, it was necessary to begin to reconcile the German people to that untoward development. How could it accomplish that purpose better than by making the suggestion through the lips of Harden? When the time conies for Germany to offer to restore Belgium as part of the peace terms, it will now be able to say that it was Maximilian Harden, one of the spokesmen for the peo ple, who advocated it. Compare this latest utterance of Harden's in relation to Belgium with a paragraph he wrote in December. 1914: "Now we know what the war is for. It is to hoist the storm flag of the empire on the narrow chan nel that opens and locks the road into the ocean. . . . We shall re main in the Belgian Netherlands, to which we shall add the thin strip of coast up to the rear of Calais From Calais 0 Antwerp, Flanders, Limburg, Brabant, to be hind the lines of the French forts — Prussian. The southern triangle with Alsace-Lorraine and Luxem burg. We need land for our indus tries, a road into the ocean. . . . Never was there a war more Just, it will conquer new provinces for the majesty of the noble German spirit." ' , v Is it not a strange fact that when the German cause was triumphant and Hohenzollernism was at the ; height of its arrogance, we find Harden advocating the retention of Belgium, but when the power of America and the growing strength of the Allies has turned the scale in the fourth year of the war and the future of Germany never looked so dismal, we find this same people's spokesman demanding that Belgium be returned? Can there be any i doubt at all that Harden is speak ' ing to the Deople for the government —not front the people to the gov ernment? As another slight indication of the connection between Harden and the throne, I recall that one of my col leagues in Berlin, an American, was the only one who did not have to rfemain in his home at night and no restrictions were placed upon his movements. He simply had to reg ister at police headquarters once a week. I asked him how it was that he was so favored, and he told me that Harden, who was a patient of his, had written a letter to the Kom mandantur asking them to release this American from the require ments in question, and that the re quest had been granted immediately. For a man who is apparently such an enemy to Hohenzollernism, this editor certainly seems to wield con siderable influence among the mili tary authorities. The German people are long suf fering:, but they will not stand im position. When they learn the truth, I fully believe they will turn upon the leaders who have so wick edly and so consistently deceived them. But how will they be able to prevail against the German mailed fist? If their emancipation de pended upon their overthrowing the army, I should view their future with the utmost apprehension, but I believe the end will come with the co-operation of the army. The part that the army plays in a revolution deperlds entirely upon the attitude of the officers. So long as the officers remain loyal, the populace would be helpless, because the rank and file will follow their officers like sheep, as a general rule. (To Be Continued.!
