EFFECT OF WAR ON LANGUAGES
The supposedly great minds that are conducting
Jie war iu Germany apparently are not so great
is to be above trivialities in some matters. Take,
: or instance, the changing of the language of one
lation so as to eliminate words or parts of words
hat had their origin in the language .of another
lation with which it is at war!
One of the first eases of this sort to come to the
ittention of the world was the act of the Russians
n changing the name of the city of St. Petersburg
0 Petrograd to get away from the German origin
>f the name. Then we heard of the French chaug
ng the names of certain thoroughfares in Paris
yhich had been called for German cities or other
hings German. •
Now comes information from Germany that steps
ire being taken to eliminate from the vocabulary
if German lovers of sport certain terms that had
ingin in the English language.—just because they
ire English. \\ e read of the fact thai new aud
ierman equivalents are being found for such words
s "handicap" and even the word "sport" inself.
.'or responding words in the German language have
een found or invented in some cases, we are told,
ut when it came to such terms as ''cricket" and
goll the Germans were at a loss to Hud expres
ions in their own language accurately to describe
ticse game*. It is likely, however, that some sort
f clumsy substitute for them ultimately will be
jund in the German.
It is hard to understand just what good purpose
in be served by this apparent effort to revise vari
us foreign languages for the sake of eliminating
ords of the languages of a hostile nation. The
l)ject, presumably, is to get out of the people's
linds the idea that they are in any way dependent
pon the enemy for anything, which manifestly is
isurd.
The leading languages of Europe all are so inter
dated through the borrowing of whole words or
parts of words from each other that it would be
1 endless task if it were attempted to make each
nguage absolutely independent of those of hos
le countries. Even if it were possible thus to
lange a language, in theory, it would be tens of
•ars before it could actually be changed in prac
cc, and by that time, let us hope, th»i war will
i over.
At any rate a nation which attempts anything
the kind is only handicapping itself by making
more difficult for its people to express themselves
ejjrately through speech, and obviously the only
ason foreign words and idioms originally were
lopted in a language was to facilitate expression.
EXAGGERATING COST OF WAR
Men who like to roll in figures have since the
itbreak of the war been making earnest, honest
id harmless efforts'to give the ever curious public
me idea of the enormous cost of the great under
ling. They have dealt with millions and with
llions in a dizzy way. The amounts they have
esented, purporting to cover the expenses of the
nfliet for a' day or a year, have from the start
en so huge as to be beyond the comprehension of
iinarv wage-earners. That the totals have been
Dwing larger and larger is little matter so far
those who read of them are concerned, since at
» lowest they have been way beyond the point
(ere values can be properly estimated.
3igbs of relief are likely to escape from statistics
lorbing persons, therefore, when they hear from
rious sources that the cost of the war is greatly
HARlgßtfolfo
exaggerated. Not only have optimists been respon
sible for such an assertion, but they have gone
farther. They have pointed out that when a gov
ernment is considered as a single spender, and when
that government's expenses for a day of fighting
are estimated, the fact that the government repre
sents millions of individuals must be taken into
account. They have also shown that war brings
to an end extravagances among persons of ineahs
and that the money saved on luxuries goes a long
way toward meeting the cost of maintaining armies
and navies in action.
As long as there are armies and navies in times
of peace as well as in times of war, the cost of na
tional defense in all countries will, of course, be
high. The cost of the actual fighting at present
cannot fairly be determined unless the expenses of
maintaining the military and naval organizations
iu times of peace be subtracted from the estimated
total of current expenses in the belligerent coun
tries.
The soldiers in the ranks of the contending
armies, who are living,—or dying as the case may
be, —at the expense of theii; governments, would
require food and clothing if they were not engaged
in war, and would no doubt spend a good deal
more for such supplies than careful governments
are expending. Money is wasted that is spent on
powder ,which disappears into tlie air, and on pro
jectiles and cartridges, which arc presented to the
enemy, and expenses thus incurred comprise the
greater part of the cost of the actual fighting.
If there were no war, armies and navies would
have to be supported anyway, and men would
have to have food and clothing. The excess ex
penses. not the total expenses, make up the cost of
war, and it is not hard to believe that the enforced
frugality among the peoples of the belligerent coun
tries is going a long way toward paying that ex
cess.
These, of course, are merely financial considera
tions. The great cost of war cannot be measured
in pounds, francs, rubles or marks. Human lives
do not have market value.
If all those new election bills go through tho Legislature
think of the trouble there will be all over again in teaching
the people how to vote!
Evidently the "Telegraph" favors the "non-partispn"
commission form of government for Harrisburg so loug as
it is controlled by the Republicans.
Don't forget that the Home and War Belief Committee
still is in need of funds to carry it\work ou until April 1,
when the chances are there will be more opportunities for
work for those now unemployed.
A few minutes after the petition of two-thirds of the
voters of the Tenth Ward was read before the City Com
missioners for better fire protection in their part of the
city the alarm sounded for the blaze in the Nursery Home.
Because of inadequate facilities (for fighting this Tenth
Ward blaze the Home was destroyed. Had it been at night
the lives of the half hundred little in-nates would have been
in peril. No more argument is needed. The Tenth Ward
should get the relief it asks for.

Spcrting Terms in German
The process of clearing out all for-
I eign elements from the German lan
i guage has now been extended to the
vocabulary of srports. A long list of
I words, mainly English, has been made
1 up by the committee iu charge of this
j reform, and Germans from all parts of
1 the country have been invited to make
suggestions for German equivalents for
these words. Some alterations have been
already accepted, among them being,
j for Steeplechase, "iHindernisrennen; "
i for Start, ""Auffahren;" for Handicap,
I " Ausgleichrennen;" for Maiden Bace,
; " Itennen fur sieglose Pferde." Such
words as cricket and golf, it is admit
| ted, present difficulties, as do all the
• terms connected with those two games.
The trouble is to find expressions, with
out too much length, which will accu
rately sav what is meant. But the great
est difficulty of all is with the word
"sport" itself.

over for the use of the Nursery Home
after her family moved from tba man
sion. The institution occupied it until
driven out by the flames last eveniug.
The children* probably would have re
mained there until summer when the
now Miome on Cameron street will
ready.
•Mrs. Watts said this moruing "that
the loss on the property will run to con
siderably more than $15,000, but she
was not prepared to fix the exact
amount. All of the line old family
furniture was removed several years
ago and hence escaped the flames." The
■building was insured but the exact
amount of tho insurance was not ascer
tainable this morning.
The (ire- was discovered bursting
from tho roof of the third story about
4.46 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A
little colored boy ran into the house
and told Mrs. Clifford Steward, the ma
tron, who was just getting the children,
whose ages range from six months to
ten years, ready for the evening meal.
They were hastily lined up and march
ed to safety out of the building.
Three youngsters, who were quaran
tined for mumps in a third floor room,
and two invalid children had to be car
ried from the doomed building by Mrs.
Steward and Miss Virginia Booth. All
the youngsters found temporary shel
ter in the nearby homes of Andrew
Schuti-.enbaugh and A. C. Smith.
Firemen Seriously Handicapped
Mrs. Steward telephoned for the
Camp Curtin Fire Company aud a mo
ment later the district fire companies
were called from box 121, at Third
street aud Heel's lane. The home was
in such a remote part of the city that
there are no fire plugs in the immediate
vicinity and the firemen had to stretch
their lines of hose for many blocks to
reach the lire. This caused so much
delay that the flames got such headway
that they could not be overcome until
the building Mas practically ruined.
Much of the bedding and other
equipment and furniture however, was
saved by the firemen aud other volun
teers. The fire is believed to have
started from a defective flue. A big
crowd was attracted to the scene. Hose
across the tracks interfered with traffic
ou the Third and Second trolley lines
and passengers had to be transferred
around the fire.
Apparently forgetting the things
they had seen last night and fully re
covered from fright and fear of the fire,
the 44 tots of the Nursery Home were
lip bright and early this morning in the
parlor in the second flooi of the Citi
zen engine house. The little ones, the
majority of whom are under 6 years
| old, proved they spent the night in
peaceful re-pose, for long before old Sol
had any say the voices of the children
could be heard about the building.
Rising at daybreak, a good hour be
fore their usuaftime, the children 'began
romping, playing, talking and, of course,
a few crying, as though they were in
their own home.
The firemen ,of course, played a large
part in making them comfortable, for
when returning from the tire last night
most of the Citizen men decided the
j Ibest thing to do was go home, so that
[ little or no noise would be made. Those
1 few who did remain at" the engine house
| were quite careful when playing their
social games of checkers or pinochle
that their voices were not heard above
a whisper.
Even the Horses Are Quiet
Even the horses, that at times try
to become conspicuous by neighing and
prancing in their stalls, were made to
obey the "quiet"' injunction. A few
of the firemen went so far as to suggest
that the horses' hoofs be inclosed in
burlap bags to prevent the noise of
stamping. This plan, however, was re
jected by t'he majority as unnecessary.
After the children were giveu a
breakfast this morning devotional exer
cises were conducted by the head of
the nursery, Mrs. Steward. Later the
ehildre nwere taken out in automobilos
for a morning spin, and then to the
Children's Industrial Home. Nineteenth
and Derrv streets, where they will re
main until other quarters are provided
them.
the children were brought to
house at 6.30 o'clock last
night they were given au elaborate
chicken supper provided them by Miss
Anue McCormick, Vance C .McCormick
and Henry B. McCormick.
A committee, composed of Miss \nne
McCormick and Mrs. James D. 'Haw
kins, was appointed to secure temporary
quarters until the new nursery home
on South Cameron street is completed.
Efforts are being made to secure the
Suburban Club, at Paxtonia. Late this
afternoon nothing definite had been de
cided ou in regard to a change of quar
ters.
