After the Panama canal is conl-- pleted, what? This canal is the greatest achievement of Americas s youth. In itself it is but a step to- ward the mastery of the worlds con- merce. We'll may we ask ourselves whether we will be prepared to take full advantage of the canal when it is opened. Any other country of the world, if possessed of our natural re- sources would immediately grasp the situation and on it build commerce second to none on this globe. If we were possessed of the German fru- gality we would have no trouble in maintaining a supreme position over all the nations. But in th's case we have here in the United States the most wasteful nation in the worl l md Germany the most frugal. In every department of agriculture and com merce Germany has been able to con- pete on equal terms with Americas limitless resources.

Our Rural Credits.

A committee from thee House of Representative is taking up the mat ter of credits in the hope of estab fishing some system that will reduce the cost of provisions. Some experts have been abroad for months study
 ing European systems and the gen. eral opinion is that conditions are so different in this country that foreign methods cannot be adopted withou' making some great fundamental changes. It is a matter that can be handled quickly Our farmers have comparatively large farms and they need a lot of money for certain part of the year. We are not on a suffi- ciently stable basis, so far as mark cts are concerned, to make the crop

ACT AUTHORIZES FEDERAL
 OWNERSHIP OF WIRES.
5urIeson Cites Statute In Telegraph
 and Telephone Recomme ndation.

Government ownership of the tele- graph and telephone lines of the Unit. ed States is urged in the annual re- port of Postmaster General Burleson. who now has the draft of bill be- fore him designed to bring about the transfer of these enormous interests from private to public hands.
 The bill Mir. Burleson has under con sideration has been drawn by Repre- sentative David J. Lewis of Maryland, the father of the parcel post leglsla- tion. His bill, however, provides only for the acquiring at first by the gov- ernment of the telephone lines of the country, long distance and local.
 The Lewis scheme is to equip the telephone lines of the country i'll such way that they can be used also in a telegraph service. It proposes, then, to have the federal government under take the conduct of regular tele- graph business as well as the manage ment of the immense telephone sys. tenn of the country. Ill other words, Mir. Lewis would have the govern ment enter actively into competition with the existing telegraph lines.
 The postmaster general contends that the government has legislative authority to take over the telegraph and telephone lines. He insists that this authority is contained in a statute passed by congress in 1886. Further action by congress would, of course, be necessary to authorize the immense bond issue that would be necessary to carry out this great undertaking.
 "The indication of largely increased postal revenues" says Mir. BurleSon "justifies q serious consideration at this time of the subject of adding the telegraph and telephone as a part Of our postal service

Late war news SUMMARY

The German attack in Belgium lust

although not with sufficient force to in

to pierce the line and force way to
the English channel had been begun in
earnest. Only one infantry attack was
made in that region yesterday and II
was repulsed, says to-day's French off,

A German aeroplane carrying three
men was brought down by artillery fire,

The German artillery fire is said to be
diminishing in intensity and in some
districts to have suffered severely from
the French guns.
England is confronted with the neces-

advices to-day from Berlin, to protect
her interests in the near east. A re-

REVENUE STAMPS Co ON
SHIPPING Bills TUESDAY,
Pennsylvania Railroad Instructs Its
Agents to Be Prepared-Postof-
fees Will Sell stamps-The Ship
pers Must Pay For Them

The Pennsylvania railroad announc-
ed to-day that on and after next Tues
day, every bill of lading, manifest or
evidence of receipt for each shipment
on railroad, whether in bulk or pack
ages, must bear an internal revenue
stamp, one cent in value, furnished by
the shipper. This must be done to
meet the requirements of the act of
Congress as approved October %,
1914.
Accordingly, the Pennsylvania rail
road Is sending to its agents specific
instructions to govern them in carry
ing out the provisions of the law. Rev
enue stamps will be sold at all postof-
fees, and it is expected that shippers
will obtain their supplies there, as the
law requires that the revenue stamp
for bills of lading must be provided by
the shipper. However, as a convenience
to its patrons, the Pennsylvania rail.
road will endeavor to have its agents
and conductors supplied with stamps,
which may be sold to shippers.
Some idea of what task it will be
for the Pennsylvania railroad, east of
Pittsburgh alone, to see that the law Is
mandates are carried out, can be had
from the fact that il issues some So.
600 bills of lading and freight receipts
every day.

FIRST OF THE new Federal
BANK NOTES here TODAY
Demand Is Brisk This Morning at the
First National Bank for Five and
Ten Dollar Bills Which Have Just
Arrived Fresh From the Mint

New money started to get in circula.
tion in Harrisburg to-day. Perhaps the
general public has not yet seen much
of it. There is a. reason The new
currency is in the form of fve-dollar
and ten-dollar bills. These bills do not
have any greater face value than the
ordinary five spots and ten spots, but
they look mighty fine and dignifed,
fresh from the Philadelphia mint as
they are, and not yet tainted by the
touch of grasping fists.
These green-backs are not only fine
and dignified in appearance, but they
are also reserved. They are so re-
served that they only suffer themselves
to be retained by fortunate beings who
are in the habit of carrying ten dol
lars or so about in their pockets from
time to time. Reserved is the word.
for the notes describe themselves ON
their faces, in bold type as ''Federal
Reserve Notes"
The fact about the new money,
which arouses so much sentiment in the
human breast at sight of it, is that the
new Federal Reserve Bank which so
auspiciously opened recently, has begun
to issue it's own notes, so far only of
the five and ten-dollar denominations.
The First National bank on Market
street to-day received the first supply

Miss Mckee was graduated from the

there in 1904. After two years teach

for three years. Wishing to make
every effort to regain her health, she
decided TO make Colorado her home, so
she took a position as postnlistress in
Buckingham, that State. That was her
home until the time of her death.
As Miss Mckee had only been home

that she would become disheartened, so
she spent the entire summer in Buck
