WELCOME TO DR. BRUMBAUGH!
! he inauguration of Dr. .Martin G. Brumbaugh,
as Governor of Pennsylvania, which will take plaee
to-morrow with the time-honored ceremonies includ
ing a big civil- ami military parade, means more,
in one sense, to the citizens of llarrisourg. than it
tio?s to the state at large.
I'o the state at large it means the induction to
office of a man who is the choice of a majority of
the people of Pennsylvania for the hierhest post in
the sjitt of the Pennsylvania electorate; a man who
is pledged aud, we believe, honestly intends to
strive to carry out the important promises made iu
platform of the party that nominated him, —
pledges that include important readjustments in
the affairs of state. To Harrisburgers it means all
this but in addition it means to them the welcoming
of Dr. Brumbaugh as a neighbor and a fellow
citizen.
1 lie departure of Governor Tent-r. who retires
irom office with the inauguration of Dr. Brum
baugh to-uiorrow, marks the removal from this
community of a man who. a>ide Irom the perform
ance <>t his official duties as the chief executive of
the state, has tilled a conspicuous place in the social
and municipal life of Harrisburg. We believe he
has been made to feel at home here and to enjoy
the society of Harrisburg people just as they have
enjoyed his society. The regret that Harrisburgers
leel at Governor Tener's departure has been shown
in numerous ways especially in the closing weeks of
his residence here.
The same welcome that was extended to Governor
lener on his arrival here tour years ago is now
extended to Dr. Brumbaugh. Tke city's hospitality
is offered to the new Governor and all Harrisburg
is proud to greet him as a future Harrisburger and
to express the hope that lie will become one of us
iu spirit as well as in person.
ENGLISH WRITERS FOR GERMANS
An inquiry in "Der Zeitgeist,'' a Berlin literary
publication, as to what books Germans should read
at this time, has brought forth a variety of re
sponses. remarkable chiefly because they attach
much importance to the works of Englishmen.
1 he reading people of Germany, according to
quotations from "Der Zeitgeist," are at present in
search of serious books which will be of value to
them "in the way of instruction, moral and spir
itual uplift, and noble entertainment," and also of
those which will teach them the history and inner
nature of the English, that they may have a better
knowledge of what one of them terms "our main |
enemy."
Among the works suggested in the Berlin paper
as suitable above all others for Germans to read at
this time of war are Shakespeare's "Henry V,"
Lee's "Life of Edward VII," "MaeCarth.v's ' His
tory of Our Own Times," Dickens' "Tales of Two
( ities, and Carlyle s "History of Prederiek the
Great." In giving these English works place
among their own great poetic aud prose produc
tions the Germans responsible for the selections
have shown that their wide appreciation of what
is good in literature is not interfered with by war
time prejudices.
There are some few contributors to "Der Zeit
geist's" symposium, in truth, who expressed hatred
for all that is English, and urged that loyal Ger-
HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EVENING. JANUARY 18, 1915.
mans confine themselves in their reading to the
German writers. These patriots recommended
Goethe, Bismarek, Schiller, Luther and Leasing,
and the suggestions are fine ones. —for English,
French and Russian readers as well as for German,
—but they are not comprehensive enough. A civil
ized country cannot with profit eontine itself to its
own particular literature and absolutely rcTuse to
regard that of other tongues.
That the predominent sentiment in Germauy so
t'ar at least as expressed in "Der Zeitgeist" should
be favorable not only toward English but French
ami Russian works of literature as well, is assuredly
gratifying. These works are all part of the genera
tion's heritage in letters aud could not be disre
garded by the Germans to their own advantage.
The political strife in Europe ought not to bring
about the drawing of dividing lines in the literature
of the world, which belongs to all peoples, no mat
ter of what nationalities individual authors hap
pened to have been.
CARLYLE AND SHAKESPEARE TIMELY
"Two nations that agree in estimating Shakes
peare as the highest of all poets can differ in no
essential principle that relates to poetry, if they
understand one another," said Carlyle, referring
to England and Germany. If there are any two
English writers indeed who can be read to more
advantage in Germany at the present time than any
others, they are Carlyle and Shakespeare.
Just us Lessing made Shakespeare known to the
Germans, Carlyle introduced Goethe to the English,
and did ilfteh in other ways to popularize in Britain
the literature of Germany.
"If we yet know little or nothing of the Ger
mans," Carlyle wrote in 1527, "it is not because we
wilfully do them wrong but, in good part, because
they are somewhat difficult to know." ,
That was rather a compliment to the Germans,
and it is to-day a credit to the English-speaking
people, including the Americans, that they show
appreciation as they do, even in translations, of
the works of Goethe and of other German masters,
including with prominence Luther's "Table-Talk,"
called by Carlyle "a venerable classic in our lan
guage."
Shakespeare, who seems to be the common prop
erty of English and German people, and whom the
latter have at times actually claimed as more theirs
than he is the formers', is apparently a favorite in
Germany at present. A University of Berlin pro
fessor says of "Henry V" that to read it or see it
in a theatre "is always the most uplifting thiug
in war time."
Certainly "Henry V" is a warlike play, ai»d so
far as Germans are concerned it has the peculiar
merit of including passages which express animosity
toward the French, white at the same time embody
ing expressions of hatred for the English as the
scene changes to France, since in the body of the
piay England aud France are at war.
"Now are we well resolved," says Henry V. and
it must be at this point that the Germans sec in him
a similarity to their Kaiser, "and by God's help
and yours, the noble sinews of our power. France
being ours, we'll beud it to our awe, or break it all
to pieces."
No less an expression of a sentiment fitting at
this time, and which perhaps is the most pleasing
passage in the play to the most warlike of the
belligerents of whatever country, is the exhorta
tion of Henry:
"In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as
modest stillness and humility, but when the blast
of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of
the tiger: stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage!"

Handicap to Chinese Army
Reasons why the Chinese army, al
though it numbers half a million men
on paper, cannot be employed to defend
the republic against nn aggression, are
set forth openly in »n official explana
tion by President Yuan Shi-Kai. He
says, in effect, that, although the mili
tary expense is the largest item in the
governmental bills, the evil practice of
declaring false numhe's of troops con
tinues to the detriment of the repub
lic's defensive power. The interesting
document reads, in part, as follows:
* . *
Officers Kept the Money
"'n former days the most corrupt
practice existing in the army was that
the actual number of troops in each
viug (.military camp) was never in ac
cordance with the number paid for by
the government, and the officers appro
priated the surplus. People are not at
all surprised nt such irregularities, as
they had become common habits. The
financial condition of the nation became
worse, while the discipline of the army
•was hopelessly neglected.
* A **
EnroUed Vagabonds
"I, the President, once created and
trained a modern army, and all former
corruptions woro wholly swopt awav:
but after the revolution there was trou
ble everywhere, and chiefs of political
parties and arrogant commanders be
came presumptuous with their military
backing. In the morning they enrolled
vagabonds in the streets atid in the
evening they claimed to have created
an army. Although the number was
less than a thousand, it was proclaimed
to be more than ten thousand. When
the time came for disbandment of
troops large sums ot money were de
manded from the government. .1, the
President, being unwilling to see the
people suffer the consequences of fur
ther rebellion, reluctantly complied
with their demands, Thus order and
peace were maintained. But when we
think of it we are still grieved. Now.
although the caucerous disease has been
healed, it is impossible to say that the
evil practice of declaring false num
bers of troops has not continued. The
largest annual expense of the govern
ment is the military expenditure * * *.
All generals and colouels in the armv
should take warning from the past and
act carefully in the future, performing
their services faithfuilv and maintain
ing their own integrity. Thus will
they show their appreciation of the
'President's wish to reform and disci
pline the army.''
* * •
Threats of Punishment
Threats of punishment are included
n the President's proclamation.
Among the institutions of the empire
which have been re ived by the repub-
I lican government under Yuan Shi-Kai
is that of "hero worship," a term
translated from the government order.
It is explained that sacrifices should

ereigns in past eras. The Bureau of
Rites is ordered to prepare a suitable
form of sacrifices and worship for
these aad other generals and statesmen
who served their eountrv well, both-of
the empire &ud the " Min Huo.'' the
republic. The object is plainly stated
to be the encouragement of the people
to a martial spirit and the development
of patriotism and loyalty in the army.

Work for More Than a Yaar
'l'ho Cumberland Valley railroad, a
part of the Pennsylvania system, will
wirtiiu a short time start work on its
modern arch bridge to replace its pres
ent steel deck truss bridge over the
Susquehanna river from Mulberry
street, tihis city. The new bridge will
cost approximately $750,000. This
will be the tirst construction work of
any magnitude to be undertaken by any
of the lines of the Pennsylvania sys
tem for more than a year.
The ibridge over the Susquehanna
which the Cumberland Valley railroad
is now using is a single track structure
of 26 spans, supported by steel piers.
The proposed 'bridge will have 4 6 spans
aud will carry two tracks. The pres
ent piers will tie utilised and a number
of additional ones built. The bridge
will be 4,000 feet long—the same
length as the Pennsylvania's now
famous stone bridge over the Susque
hpt.na at Roekville, just above Harris
burg.
The foundations of both the old and
new piers have been carried dowu to
rock, which is practically the bed of
the river at this point. The t umber
land Valley railroad's forces have al
ready completed the foundations to an
elevation of about one foot above
normal elevation of the water. The
rest of the work will be placed under
contract within a short time.
The piers of the present Cumberland
Valley railroad bridge at Harrisburg
were originallv constructed to provide
for two tracks, so that it will be pos
Bible, bv moving the tracks over tn one
aide of'the piers, to continue the opera
tion of trains over the old bridge while
one-half of the new arcli bridge is be
ing constructed. After this the traffic
will be carried on the completed portion
of the bridge until the other half is
finished.
In connection with the construction
of the new bridge, the Cumberland
Valley railroad will build undergrade
crossings at Vront and Second streets
in the eitv of Harrisburg. The grades
of these streets have been depressed
and concrete abutments constructed to
support solid floor steel bridges, wtilch
will be covered with concrete in orna_
mental design. This work will result
in the elimination of all jrade crossings
of the Cumberland Valley rnilroad in
Harrisburg.

MILD PANIC IN THEATRE
Caused When Gallery Supports of Leb
anon Academy of Music Crackle
Lebanon, Jan. 18.—A miid panic
was caused Saturday evening when the
supports of the gallery balcony of
the Academy of iMusic were heard to
crackle while both upper floors were
filled to capacity. IMen and women
crawled over seats and a wild rush en
sued to obtain a passage to the exits.
Fortunately no one was hurt as the
house policeman and Officer John Reed,
of the local police force marshalled the
crowd out in order. Every one was
informed that the management would
return the admission money. The Billy
Allen Company had been playing to
crowded houses last week and Saturday
evening every seat in the house was
sold. The crackling sound filled the
house just a few minutes before the
curtain was scheduled to rise for the
first act.
iManager George T. Sipang, who is
also director of public safety for the
city of Lebanon, stated that he would
have the supports examined and
strengthened to-day. The gallery was
closed for the night and many had
their money returned who had pur
chased balcony seats.
The Pisher Academy of iMusic was
erected more than twenty years ago,
tout has recently "been renovated. The
capacity of the gallery is between five
hundred and six hundred and the bal
cony between seven hundred and eight
hundred.

First Aid Methods a Part of the Safety
Movement
In takinig up the safety movement
which is now rapidly spreading over'
this State and country, many manu
facturing establishments have found
it both humane and profitable to incor
porate into the safety work of their
particular establishment "first aid"
training. The necessity for this can
readily be understood wheu it is known
that many injuries, if given prompt |
treatment aud care on the spot before i
the removal of the injured person to (
hospital or home will not result in se
rious complications. This fact is demon
strated vividly on the battlefields of
lOurope at the "present time.
Reports from those fields of opera
tion state that each soMier is provided 1
with a small "first aid" packet, in
order that he may render "first aid"
treatment to himself or his neighbor.
Correspondents have repeatedly stated
in their articles which have appeared
in the magazines of this country that
the small "first aid" packets* have
been of material help in reducing the
number of serious cases resulting from
infection of minor wounds.
So it is in accidents occurring iu
manufacturing establishments. Some
plants are far removed from hospitals
or places where the services of a phy
sician can Vie obtained, or in some cases
some time may claipse before the ar
rival of a physician at the point where
the injury occurred. Under these cir
cumstances. workme.ii should bo train
ed in "first aid" methods, as the ap
plication of such methods to any injury
will greatly lessen the chances of in
fection or Wood poisoning; moreover,
in cases of severe injury, in which
bones are broken or the soft tissues
mangled, the use of prompt and efficient
aid to the injured may avert perman
ent, partial or total disability.
One of the large steel corporations
in the western part of the State, the-
Cambria Steel Company, has taken up
the safety movement very extensively.
They not only are offering diplomas to
employes who become proficient in
"first aid" work but they also have
undertaken, through their "first aid"
trainers, to spread the movement
among the school children. Once a week
their "first aid" trainers give a dem
onstration at the different school build
ings and during the summer the chil
dren on the playgrounds are taught
these same principles.
The value of this movement was
recently demonstrated in a storv which
has come to the notice of the depart
ment. A man walking along the street
slipped and fell, injuring his head. Two
boys came alonig and seeing the acci
dent, immediately, by means of sticks
and their own coats, rigged up an im
provised stretcher and with the aid of
this stretcher carried the injured person
to a physician's oflice. The injured man
was wholly conscious and would have
been able to walk to the physician's
office, so the physician asked the boys:
"Why did you go to the trouble of
making this stretcher and carrying this
lnan heref He would have been able
to walk here, himself."
The boys looked at the physician a
minute and in apparent disgust said:
"Our 'firrt aid' rules tell us to al
ways keep a person with head injuries
in a reclining position."
The physician, knowing that the
bovs were right, warmly congratulated

them and e*pressed to them his gener
ous commendation of the thoroughness
witli'which they carried out, in h prac
tical way, the principles which they
had been taught.
Another instance of this valuubln
training occurred in the plant of tliis
s.nne company and in well worth while
noting.
"Sunday morning, September 20,
about SMi H . in., Mr. ll and Mi.
S- were working on a pole above tlt•*
I rankiin works of the Cumbria Steel
Company on a line carrying volts
into the company's mines. H— was
engayed in making a soldered joial
when he accidentally grilled a different
wire in each hand sending 2,2(M1 volts
t'hrough his body and holding him fast.
S— immediately insulated himself by
standing on the wooden crossarm of tha
pole and with much force released 11 -
from the wires, when he dropped un
conscious to the ground, IS feet below.
Three fellow workmen rushed to his
aid. Their fir»t impression was that H
ha-d been fatally injured, as no signs
of life were apparent. They were not,
content to leave their follow workman
lying apparently dead, but rather, re
membering their first aid training, they
immediately placed the victim in the
most convenient plnee and began their
task of restoration by usin , the Shaffer
method of artificial* respiration to be
used in case of severe electric shocks.
In order that the public may know
the first thing to be doiio when uu op
portunity presents itself to resuscitate
some one receiving an electric shock,
it might be well to mention a few acts
performed in the resuscitation of Mr.
H —• He was first, laid on his stom
ach with his head to one side ami arms
outstretched. They rubbed his palms and
forearms very briskly and applied cold
water to his head and face. One man
knelt astride his back facing his head,
using the prone method of artificial
respiration, i. e., by moving backward
and forward and pressing inward witTi
his iNinds on the lower ribg about 12
times per minute. These men worked
persistently almost without hope, but
with much confidence in ' first aid ' and
in 25 minutes their efforts were re
warded l>y noticing very slight signs of
breathing. This gave them now en
couragement and in 20 more minutes
Mr. H—recognized one of his fellow
employes.
"In the meantime, Cambria Steel
Company's ambulance was ordered to
the scene of the accident and as soon
aa respiration was fully established, he
was hustled off to the hospital where
further treatment was administered,
principally for the burns. Tiie fact that
these men were drilled in first aid
work and were sufficiently composed to
execute the ritjht thing at the right
time is all to which we can attribute
Mr. H.'s being alive to-day and suf
lering only from the burns received at
the tinip he received the shock."
The value of this "first aid" train
ing can thus be readily understood and
the Department of l.a'bor and Industry
would unge the public generally to be
come familiar with the principles un
derlying "first aid" treatment for the
injured." There are many cases where
treatment of this kind would be of
vital importance to an injured person
in cases of emergency.
The department also is glad to an
nounce that many establishment's
tbrougout this State have taken up fliis
training among their employes and
have reported many cases, in which
serious results from in,furies have thus
been avoided.
Awarded $4,750 for Loss of Leg
Suntoury, Pa.. Jan. 18.—A United
