Ap- I parentl.v by "continuing the war to the end" the I Chancellor means until one side or the other suc ceeds in annihilating its enemy, if such a thing must be. Assuming that the German Chancellor is accu rately informed as to his country's resources the peace advocates might just as well eliminate the theory that the conflict will end itself through r' Germany running out of supplies and of money, and begin to think about other methods for bring ing about a settlement. The Allies, in the general opinion, are in far better position to obtain supplies for the war than is Germany, and so if it be true -hat Germany is actually in a position to "continue the war to the end" that end must be brought Rbout by some other plan than the starving out of the subjects of the Kaiser. Next comes the question: "What is the other plan?" VALUE OF DEBATING ORGANIZATIONS Ponderous books or reference are used more ex tensively at the Richmond branch of the Philadel phia free library, according to reports, than in any other library branch in that city. It is because of the organization of debating clubs, with large mem berships of young people, which gather at regular L Intervals in the library for formal meetings and at ■irregular intervals for individual reference work. A Boys between 8 and 15 years make up a large Bart of the membership of the library 'eagues, and Become deeply interested in the subjects of their debates, rhe programs of the meetings are arranged with the idea of stimulating such interest, and are calculated to keep the dust from settling on the reference works and on other sub stantial books on the library shelves. It is not difficult to arouse a boy's or a girl's interest iu a subject of educational value, provid ing the subject is at the same time made attractive to him or her. Especially is it easy to stir up en thusiasm if the subject is to l»e treaten in a formal debate. Normal children are eager to learn, when attract ive subjects are offered to them, ami it is only when they look upon studies as drudgery that they re volt. 1 here is perhaps no better way to encourage Htudy among children than to give them an early itart on debating teams. ATHLETICS AS SUBSTITUTE FOR WARFARE I hat international athletic contests can satisfy mankind s desires to gain victories through some j sort oV physical competition aud can replace war- j fare as a means of gratifying these desires, is the contention of a Boston psychologist, and he speaks J advisedly. Warfare promotes human welfare in a way, by ! providing discipline, by stimulating manly courage and by teaching endurance of discomfort. Yet all HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4. 1915. these qualities may be developed through athletics, and more. Friendly trials of streugth, endurance and pluck instruct in fairness, and what is more, the inspire respect for skillful opponents. There is just enough of the spirit of keen com j petition in any international athletic contest to make it enjoyable and beneficial, yet not enough to ! bring about brutality. In athletic sports there is ! friendly competition, satisfying the desires of spec , tators as well as of participants, for exciting strug j gies. Cruel and bloody conflicts between armed ; men on the field of battle cannot develop in civil- I ians and soldiers the highest and most commendable I qualities. j When the knights of old were not engaged in j actual warfare, they exercised their skill iu tourna i ments. The sport was a crude one and demanded 1 Ihe lives of tlie weaker participants, yet it met the desires of the knights to engage in combat of some ' sort. • Athletic sports of to-day call for skill, —not for j cruelty; for strength.—not for brutality, and for courage,—not for viciousness. They stimulate de sirable qualities, and they require no sacrifice of lives, except through unavoidable accident. The learned psychologist has suggested that in i ternational athletics could replace warfare, so far as the psychological effects on man are concerned, and it remains for peace advocates to plan for the carrying out of the suggestion, for professors can seldom put their own ideas into practice. Dr. Brumbaugh does not talk much but apparently when he commits himself he does it very emphatically. There are lots of "rough-necks" who are not "bone heads" and, it may be added, all "bone-heads" are not | "rough necks." The question in the Speakership fight, as the situation looked early this morning, was: "Is more than one boss trying to do the bossing?" "Samuel Unterinyer Urges Reform," reads a Philadelphia newspaper's headline over a Mew York dispatch. That is nothing new for Mr. Untcrmyer. E. F. G. Harper is the name of one of the Assemblymen from New Castle, Lawrence county. Mr. Harper's initials read as though his parents appropriated a part of the alphabet when they had him baptised. TOLXT IN LIGHTERVEIN HER DIFFICULT CHOICE Mr. Plowden, the well known London magistrate, who has just retired from the bench, has a great repertoire of good stories. His favorite one relates to a case in which he ap peared as counsel. In the course of this case he had to cross-examine the wife of a notorious burglar. "You are the wife of this man?" he asked. "I am," ghe replied. "You knew he was a burglar when you married him?" he proceeded. "I did," she admitted. "How could you possibly marry such a man?" Mr. Plow den demanded. "Well, it was like this," the witness explained, confi dently: "I was getting old and two chaps wanted to marry me. It wasn't easy to choose between 'em, but in the oud I married Bill there. The other chap was a lawyer, same as you, sir." —London Tit Bits. ONE ON JOHN "If women voted there would bo no more war," said ! Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain. "Woman would have i voted, too, long since, but for the libels circulated about j her everywhere. Aud yet every one of these libels is easy ! to disprove—as easy as the slandered wife found it. This j wife asked her husband to tell her the details of a new i partnership that he had entered into, but he shook his head ! and said, pompously: " 'No, Jane, no; it's too important. I must not tell you. j It wouldn't do. You women can't keep a secret.' " 'Can't we, John?' poor Jane answered, with a kind of j quiet bitterness. 'Can't we, dear? And yet when have I ' ever told anybody about the night you took $7 out of! Willie's bank, and got tight, and were arrested aud fined | for insulting a chorus girl?' " —St. Louis Globc-Democrat. ! DRAWING THE LINE A Maine couple of strong neutral tendencies have named j their infant son Berlin Paris. That isn't so bad. But the line must be drawn when t'uey begin afflicting helpless infants with such names as Przasnysz Gumbinnen. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. SAVING TIME "What do you mean by striking me?"

A PECULIAR CASE "Is there anything peculiar about this case!" asked the! Judge. "Yes, Your Honor," replied the police officer.

Colonei William P. Sieg, who established the Steelton "Re porter many years ago when Steelton was in its swaddling clothes, bat big with promise, has reached the time when he had earned and deserved that rest that comes to all earnest, zealous workers in the newspaper field, and he has "quit the business." Colonel Sieg began newspaper work under the late George C. Beigner with tJbe "Tele gra| h, and' was for years the 'business Manager, leaving t'he "Telegraph'' to join the forces of the Harrisburg "State Guard," a morning paper that was started by the late Wieu Forney, of this city, and David Kauffman, of Meckanieabiirg. When the "State Guard" went to the discard Colonel Sieg started a job printing offiise on Third street near Walnut, conducting it successfully for a long time. Then an opportunity for a weekly newspaper in Steelton presented itself and forthwith he started the "Reporter," which for many years was the organ of the Steel tonites, and right well did Colonel Sieg stand up for the town of his adoption, until he saw it grow from infancy to the era of sturdy, prosperous manhood, and very proud he may be of his work in furthering t'he interests of that town. Colonel Grier Quits the Harness "Colonel William Hayes Grier, for many years a newspaper editor and .pub lisher in Columbia, announced last weefc t'nat lie is now on the retired list, and with his going also went the Columbia Independent,'' so long claiming him as its head, Colonel Grier was an orig inal resident of Jersey Shore, a printer, and when the Civil war broke out he enlisted in the Fifth Pennsylvania Re serves and fought clear through the great conflict. When he got back from the war he started a newspaper in Co lumbia, which he conducted for years, and t'hen relinquished it to become Su perintendent of Public Printing and Binding under Governor Pattison. When he returned to Columbia he started the ''lndependent," ami it was a thorough ly independent paper, although the Col onel is a hard-shell Democrat of the Oiu Guard stripe, saying things out loud that many a time didn't piease the other Democrats, but saying them in a convincing way. He says he is now go ing to take a rest, settle down and live quietly, but this is regarded as a mild fiction on the part of the Colonel, for nobody ever saw Colonel Hayes Grier in repose, his activity from the time lie was a young man being remarkable. He deserves all the rest that is icoming to him, for 'he certainly has earned it, but —'Wait! The old eomrade still is capable of much activity and it will be surprising if he does not get into action iu some manner before long. * , » Death of John Lutz John Lutz, tor niauv years editor and publisher of the Bedford "Inquirer," died a short time ago. fall of years and honors. He was connected with the "Inquirer" for years, and was a power in politics and the newspaper world in Western 'Pennsylvania.

He died in his SOt'h year, with the respect and love of the entire com munity. * „ * Sweeping Suow for Belgians There had ben a slight fall of snow.

OEPHEUM j Every afternoon and eveniug, high I clai« vaudeville. COLONIAL Jivery afternoon and evening, vaude ville and pictures. Pictures of the European War There ihas never 'been a motion pic ture exhibited that had commanded bucli universal attention as has the Chit-ago Tribune's motion pictures of the Euro pean war taken under the direction of tiie Belgian government and to be shown at the Majestic for three days, beginning to-night with matinee to-! morrow and Wednesday. During the j presentation of tlio pictures in New | York, three theatres were constantly i filled with people eager to get actual first hand knowledge of conditions as they exist in Belgium. These pictures taken iby Edwin F. W Agile will undoubtedly stand as the most marvelous historical record ever mad®. Mr. Weiigde was -with the Bel gian army, and on its firing line from early in September until the fall of Antwerp, and the scenes of the battles of Ailost, Maline 'and Termonde, that he was able to secure with his movie cam era are of the greatest educational value. They not only picture the pre paratiora for, the carrying out of and the effects of modern warfare, but show clearly the pathos of war, without any melodramatic glamor they bring home the horror and woe that stalks in the ! trail of the modern lighting machine, as the pictures bring one face to face with existing conditions in the stricken country. adv. * "Twin Beds" Not since the memoralble success of "Baby Mine," has any play sco Ted I such a laughing triumph as "Twin Beds," an unroariously funny farce of' domestic life in an apartment house,' by Sali?Mbury Field and Margaret Mayo, I which for over eight months past has j been causing crowded houses to roar! with merriment at the Fulton theatre, j New York, and which is to be presented | at the Majestic, Saturday, matinee and j night, by Selwyn and company, the j firm resi>ousi'ble for such utiusuully I popular productions as "Within the I baw" and "Under Cover." "Twin Beds" is a rare theatrical \ treat. From the rise of the curtain un-1 til its final fall the audience is kept in | a continual state of excitement and' amusement. The fun is quick and clean, S lines sparklingly witty, and the high- \ ly original complications in which the j characters find themselves, so mirth-1 provoking as to be almost irresistible, j An excellent cast and an elaborate scenic production has been provided for "Twin Beds." adv.* At the Orpheum Another week of "classy" vaudc- \ ville is scheduled to appear at the Or-! pheusn this week. A rollicking "kid"j art called "On the School Play-' grounds," a Bart McHugli product, will j lead tho van of merit. Mr. McHugh -will I be recalled as the producer of "The| Latwn Party," that was so popular at j the Orpheum just a few weeks ago. I However, in this uewest attraction, Mr.! McHugh is said to have gone a step I ahead of his other productions, both in the numbers ami scenic pretentiousness. "On the School Playgrounds" is a grand frolic of comedy and song ami the youngsters are particularly clever. o<f almost equal iimportance will be a novel comedy called "Vetenins" to be presented by Harry Fern and company.

Adv. * EDMUND BREESE CLEVER Supported by Excellent Company in Two Presentations of "To-day" in the Majestic Theatre Edmund Breese, in tho star role in "To-da.v," scored a distinct triumph iu two performances in the Majestic The atre Saturday afternoon and evening. Breese has the personality to carry elf this drama of so-called New York lite | of the present, day, even to the loving ! mail lly his wife, whom he murders lit I the close of the show because of her I infidelity. The action of the show seems rather ' slow, it taking most of the four acts | to work up to the exciting climax, yet ! the plot is rather obvious. Some sus ! pense is provided, however, by the un | certainty as to what the husband will j do when he makes the inevitable dis covery of his wife's faithlessness. Mr. Breese is capably supported by I Miss Ethel Valentine in the part of the J wife. Miss Margaret Robinson, as a I New York woman well acquainted with l the various methods used by wives in deceiving husbands and who is re- I sponsible for the wife's going wrong, | played her part splendidly. Rarely has j Harrisburg seen such an excellent com | pany of actors.
