JAMES M. LAMBERTON
James M. Lamberton, whose death occurred yes
terday, could be regarded as an example of the
highest type of Harrisburg citizenship. He was
born here and lived here and worked here. He
loved Harrisburg and Harrisburg loved him.
Mr. Lamberton was a gentleman, literally. He
was kind and courteous and generous indiscrimi
nately and without thought of return for his gen
erosity. His cheerful spirit, even through the period
of his great suffering in the last two a
revelation and an inspiration to those inclined to
quit in despair the hard battle of life.'
Mr. Lamberton gained unusual distinction as a
lawyer, teacher and historian. He was a ceaseless
worker, —thorough, untiring and accurate. He had
a statistical mind and delighted in compiling data
on historical subjects in which he or his friends
were interested, particularly in connection with his
activities as secretary of the famous Yale class of
1878 of which his friend, former President Taft,
was a member, and as a member of the Dauphin
County Historical Society.
Had he concentrated his rare mental attainments
in the direction of amassing great wealth he doubt
less would have succeeded, but he preferred to
give most of his effort to the service of his friends,
—persons and institutions whom he loved.
Many distinctions had been won by Mr. Lam
berten in city, state and nation, through the various
activities that have made up his busy life, and many
honors have been bestowed upon him, but Harris
burg, which knows him best, honors and loves him
most for his traits of personal character. These
perhaps can best be summed up in the one word, —
unselfishness.
PROSPECTS SOUTH OF THE ISTHMUS
Efforts to increase commercial activities between
this country and the Latin-American republics have
been exerted with some enthusiasm since the war
interfered with steady European trade. The Pan-
American Society has been of assistance in shc/wing
the way. Trips like that made by former Senator
Root* some years ago have had their influence in
establishing cordial relations between the English
speaking and the Spauish-speaking Americans. It
is only deplored that this country did not
sooner awaken to a realization of the advantages
of extensive commercial relation* with the Latin
that it did not see the opportunities sonth
of the isthmus before European nations saw them
and seized upon them.
The people of the United States have in past
years been so intent upon developing their own
vast resources, and establishing and encouraging
their own industries, that they have paid little at
tention to South American trade except such as has
come their way of its own accord. While Ameri
cans have been content to make 110 special efforts to
extend their commercial activities to the vast terri
tory lying on the other side of their '"Big Ditch,"
thrifty Europeans have been supplying capital fb
develop South American fields, providing facilities
for commercial exchange, adapting their goods to
the peculiar needs of the republics, making suitable
terms of credit and employing agents to get 'the
business.
There may, of course, have been little incentive
for our business men to endeavor to open new mar
kets for their goods in South America years ago.

markets, and they perhaps would have found South
American trade too venturesome a business f or their
comfort. That they missed great opportunities by
letting the Europeans get the commerce is evident.
These opportunities many times multiplied are
again offered to them, however, through war's inter
ference with Old World industries, and. it seems,
are not this time to be overlooked.
THE "KID COP" TO BE NO MORE
The old-fashioned truant officer, ogre to fre
quently-absent school children, is fast disappearing.
The United States Bureau of Education asserts as
much. It has investigated ami ought to know.
When the old-fashioned truant officer is no more
there will be cause for general juvenile rejoicing.
He will be missed by the school children of the
land, but not sadly missed. His absence will to
them be his one great-merit.
The truant officer of these many years of com
pulsory education in America has been in the eyes
of the school children with whom he has had to
deal, their much feared antagonist. Variously
styled as "kid cop," and "hooky catcher," he has
not been respected by unruly public school pupils
as a school authority should be respected.
His place is now being taken, according to the
government authorities, by the modern truant offi
cer. The latter makes it his business not so much
to "catch" truants as to investigate the causes of
truancy in individual cases and to remedy so far
as possible the unfavorable condition's which he
finds existing. The officers of the new type try to
gain the confidence, the respect and even the love
of the children, and it seems have been making
some progress in removing prejudices agaiust truant
officers as a class.
Truancy, or what is more familiarly known as
Vplaying hooky," is an offense which must be seri
ously dealt with, in this country's plans of eom-
education. Yet truants themselves are not
always at fault. Sometimes their parents and their
home conditions are to blame. In such cases the
task of the truant officer is difficult. He must be
a real diplomat if he is to remedy matters. He must
be an entirely different person from the paddle
wielding "kid cop" of the comic supplements.
With eggs down to 20 cents the Kaster bunny ought to

Many a bonnet that will be bought for Easter will not

Again it is announced that 'the Legislature will "get

peaceful nation than for one involved in warfare.

that was not all that was lost. Some

German Submarines Suffer
Petrograd, Via Ixmdon, March 29,
9.15 A. M.—(Severe losses have been
inflicted upon the German naval uuits
in the Baltic Sea by the Russians, ac
cording to a semi-official review of the
operations made public last night. Ger
man submarines are said to have suf
fered considerably while a number of
transports loaded with supplies have
been destroyed. Tho statement fol
lows:
'' Karly in September the activity
oftour fleet in the southern Baltic com
pelled the enemy to modify his plan
and eouoentrate' his chief efforts upon
operation* by submarines. Nineteen
of these attacks were made in two
months but only one was successful.
Enemy submarines suffered consider
ably.
"Our fleet has developed intense ac
tivity along the enemy's coast. Details
ol' the operations cannot be published
yet but the enemy suffered heavy losses
in fighting units and has been seriously
impeded in the operations along his own
coasts by the loss of a number of trans
ports with munitions."
Russian Baltic Fleet Reinforced
London, March 29, 1.3.1 P. M.—
Reuter's correspondent at Petrograd
telegraphs that the Russian fleet in the
Baltic has been reinforced by the addi
tion of modern fighting units.
This addition to tho fleet is believed
in London to consist of four dread
noughts laid down in Russian yards in
1909, which were Hearing completion
at the beginning of the war. It may
also include another division of four
capital ships laid down in 1912.
British naval exports said they
would not be surprised to learn .that,
with the assistance of the allies in ma
terial and men, Russia had been able
to complete these eight dreadnoughts.
Tho first four mount twelve 12-inch
guns each. The second division is armed
with nine 14-inchers each.

FINANCIAL LOSS FROM
ACCIDENTS
The Pennsylvania Department of IJU
bor and Industry has recently made
public the results obtained from tlw
tabulation of all of the accident reports
which were received by that Depart
ment during 191,4. During that year,
there were reported to the Department
38,126 accidents, of which 2?9 were
latal, and approximated 34,000 were
of minor seriousness. *This, however,
does not represent all of the accidents
which have occurred iu this State dur
ing the past year, as accidents which
occasion a loss of time of less than two
days were not reported, and also does
not include those accidents which are
reported to th'e Department of Mines or
to the Public (Service Commission.
A study of the data given by these
reports shows that $1,048,503.96 in
wages were lost by the employes as a
result of these industrial accidents.
This does not represent the total loss
due to accidents, as it does not include
the loss to the employers. Whenever
an accident occurs, considerable time
is lost by all the members of that shop
or department, due to the excitement
of tho accident itself. It is also neces
sary to replace the injured person, who
may be skilled in his particular line,
by some one-who is less experienced.
In this way, the organization of the es
tablishment is disrupted, production is
lessened, anil costs are increased. Many
manufacturers claim that the monetary
loss to the industry is almost as great
as that to the injured man himself.
Accordingly, it may justly be as
sumed that industrial ancidents cause a
loss of over two million dollars yearly
in this State.
Tho total number of days lost by the
injured persons was* 426,824. This
represents an average loss of time for
each person injured of approximately
12 days. Thej reports reveal the fact
that 64,076 persons were actually de
pendent upon the'wage-earners injured
for their livelihood; so that, in real
ity, the income of 100,000 persons was
temporarily affected by these reported
accidents. In other words, one person
out of every 77 living in this Common
wealth has been directly affected by
these accidents. To what extent other
people are affected by these and ordi
nary accidents occurring daily, is in
calculable.
A study of accident prevention
work by the Department has disclosed
the fact that approximately .">0 per
cent, of accidents can be avoided, if
accident prevention campaigns are
inaugurated. Accordingly, during the
past year, the Department has en
deavored to see that all dangerous
places are guarded and that all dan
gerous conditions are. corrected.
Some of the more important things
which have been accomplished during
the year by the Inspectors of the De
partment may be briefly summarized as
follows:
Instructions wore given for the re
moval of approximately 5,00U sot
screws; for the installation of approxi
mately 75,000 guards for the instal
lation of approximately 400 toilets;
for the installation of approximately
275 dressing rooms for women; ap
proximately 6,000 instructions were is
sued regarding sanitation. In all, over
50,000 inspections were made in vari
ous establishments throughout the
State, and the improvements and cor
rections as a result of these inspections
surely will prove of great value for the
coming year.' -* /
During the past year the Industrial
Board has been extremely busy form
ulating standard rules and regulations
concerning the guarding of machinery
and all dangerous places. On February
1 the following standards became ef
fective:
No. I—Power transmission machin
erv. v
No. 2—Standard railings and toe

No. 3 —Stationary steam engines.

relating to bakeshops also became op
