HOBOKEN, Aug. 3.--Considerable
mystery surrounds the giving today
of coat of war paint to the steam
ship Kronprinz Wilhelm of the North
German Lloyd line. Shortly after
daylight the vessels crew which is
being held aboard the ship began to
cover the liners black hull with a
dark gray paint of the hue used on
battleships in war time.
The gang planks of the ship are
drawn in, and nobody is permitted to
go aboard or leave the vessel. There
are three huge cases on her prome-
made deck. What is in them is not
known, nor is 1t known when they
were taken on board. It was rumored
here today that the vessel will leave
her dock tonight and steam for Eu-
rope, but officials of the company de-
clined to give any information about
their plans. The painters had all but
completed their work this afternoon.

GLENN A. WARNER

ri the report be true that Glenn A.
] Warner is to leave Carlisle to be-
L come the athletic coach Of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, the Indian
school will lose a man who has de-
veloped it's athletic teams from the
prep" school class until they are to-
day the dread of every university in
the land.
When Warner went to Carlisle it
was no uncommon thing to find high
school elevens pitted against the Car
Isle football teams. How greatly he
has changed that condition is appar-
ent to anybody conversant with foot
ball history. Many of the most noted
American gridiron stars have been de-
veloped at Carlisle and Warner has
been wonderful as well in training
men for the field and track.
The veteran coach is particularly
effective when he has strong, husky
material from which to draw and the
fact that the University of Pittsburgh
is noted for it's beef and Drawn leads
to the belief that he will live up to his
reputation there and that Pittsburgh
may soon loom up as a rival of some

CATTLE QUARANTINE

W. nnaaestiona0ly quest nab y the inn i'm
w vance in the price of beef, the
Statewide cattle quarantine
established last night by order of the
State Livestock Sanitary Board as a
stay against the spread of the foot and
mouth disease, which has broken out
seriously in Pennsylvania, is undoubt-
edly a wise step and fully warranted
under the circumstances
The only known means of fighting
this plague, which spreads like wild
fire through the herds it attacks, is by
absolute isolation of the infected ami
mails and thorough disinfection of the
premises. Stock showing signs of con-
tamination ought to be killed without
delay, as by this means alone the
safety of the other farm animals can
be assured. Owners should not rely
on their own diagnosis. The State au-
thoritles should be notified the mo-
ment a suspected case comes to light.
The loss from the epidemic is bound
to be tremendous, and coming at a
time when feed and meat prices are at
the highest in years, will work untold
hardship. But there is no gainsaying
that the Statewide quarantine is the
best way that can be found to limit
it's scope in Pennsylvania, to prevent
spreading it from here to other States
and to avoid bringing our own cattle
into contact with infected herds of
neighboring States. The board has
been wise also in forbidding the re-
moval of stock from one county of
Pennsylvania to another without spe-
cial order. This precaution will tend
to prevent the disease being carried
from infected districts to others where
the malady has not appeared and
ought to be as strictly observed as the
rule forbiddng the importation or ex-
portation of livestock with regard to
the State at large.
The only way to stamp out the dis
ease is to obey absolutely the orders
issued by the State officials acquainted
with the situation and conversant with
the means of meeting it.

TIME TO GAIL A HIATT

= rEWSPAPER dispatches this
N morning contains threat, credit
/ ed to the German government,
that unless Belgians at once re-
turn to their homes and go to work at
their usual occupations the Germans
will cease to permit food to be brought
into them from America. 1t is hardly
conceivable that the Kaiser has issued
or even seriously considers such an
impossible order.
Thousands of those who have fiocle-
ed to the seacoast towns or have fed
to the borders of neighboring States
from Belgium have no homes to which
they can return. Their harvests have
been ruined, their cities left in ruins,
their houses looted or burned, their
home supporters killed or in the army.
What utter nonsense it is to talk of a
woman or a man returning to a home
that no longer exists, to take up an
occupation that for the time being
at least, has been rendered entirely
unremunerative, il not actually blot
ted out
AS we have said. it is not conceiv-
able that any government should con-
slider such measure. But if IL is
contemplated and the Germans have
one particle of regard for the neutral
ity of the United States they should
consider well before trying to put
it into effect. We can think of no
surer means of bringing down the
wrath of America on the head of any

-ARRISBURG is doing nobly in
the work of relief for Belgium.
l ! Hundreds of homeless little
ones will be saved from the
hideous death of starvation because
Harrisburg people have given gener-
ously of their plenty toward the re-
lief of those who have been robbed
by the cruel war of their little all.
Countless mothers will bless the hands
that have extended the blessing.
Fathers in the field will never forget
the response of America to the calls
of their loved ones for food.
But much as has been done we have
only begun the work that must be
carried forward with unremitting
energy until the need no longer exists.
lOnly a small proportion of our people
have come forward with contributions.
Those who have not given still have
opportunity aplenty. Not only one
more, but many more ships must cross
the ocean if the people of stricken Bel
GUM are to survive the rigors of the
winter that has already begun in that
country.

picture that we'll illustrates condi-

her little ones sleeping in straw by the
roadside is no pleasant sight, but it is
the common thing in Belgium to-day.
Food, clothing and shelter must be
provided. We in America alone have
the means and the will. Perhaps IT
may not be too much to regard as pro-
vidential the good fortune that has
kept our country from the sword that
we might use our resources for the
benefit of the destitute and helpless

that when the present war is over
Europe will be open to a little reason.
