TURKEY NOW IN THE
BIG WAR IN EUROPE
Italy and Greece Likely to Join
Allies as The Result of
Turkish Move.

Turkey has Joined the side of Ger
many and Austria in the great Euro
pean war. This was set forth as a
probability in the Journal when hos
tilities started. 1t is also probable
that Italy and Greece will join the
side of the allies.
The German forces in Belgium that
have been trying to reach the sea-
coast in order to prepare for an at
tack on England hav so far failed in
their efforts. Strong reinforce
ments are being rushed to both sides
in Belgium and what looked like a
crisis Of the great struggle a week
ago, is still undecided.
The English battleship fleet has
been a strong factor in preventing
the Germans reaching the seacoast
and even should they succeed they
would have to fight against troops
and warships before they could make
an attack directly on England.
The whole situation seems to be
settling itself into a contest of endur-
ance and may be some time before
any definite advantage can be claim
ed by either side.

23RD anniversary FOR
DR.. PATTON SUNDAY
Fine Musical Program Sunday
Night in Honor Of Below
ed Minister.

Last Sunday evening was the 23rd
anniversary of DR.. Pattons PASTOR
ate of the Presbyterian Church. HJ
read a few verses from the secon
chapter of First Corinthians and
mentioned the fact that he had al
ways striven to follow the example
OF st. Paul in preaching Christ
rather than to attract big congrega-
lions by sensational sermons on
questions of worldly interests.
While DR.. Patton is an able and
interesting preacher he is also a
minister who spends much time in
visiting those in affliction and seek
ing to Tighten the burdens of his fell
low men.
Beside the usual devotional hymns
and prayers there was a program of
music that was greatly appreciated
and enjoyed by all present. Mrs.
Davenport was at the organ and
played The Lost Chord as a prelude
to the program of songs. Among
the hymns sung by the choir was
Holy Twilight Hour. Mrs. Wyatt
and Mr.. Hemp sang Lead Kindly
Light to new air, Mrs. Elder and
Mr.. Worley sang The Lord Is my
solo Face to Face. A quartette, Mrs.
Wyatt, Miss Fields, Mr.. Hemp and
Mr.. Worley sang Lord Is 1t II, which
was recalled as one of the most eff
fective of the songs by Rev. M.
Wright and Mr.. Good last summer
during the protracted meetings. 1t
is a very touching air that accords
we'll with the words.

Indifference Of THE
DEMOCRATS HURTFUL
Bull Moose Party Gets A Few
Districts In The County
on Tuesday.

The vote in the General Election
held Tuesday was rather light, due
mostly to the indifference of the
voters who felt that the election of
all the Democratic nominees was Sc
cure.
The Bull Moose party had put up
hard fight and was successful in
putting over a slight majority in sew
eral districts in Cobb County. The
vote in Smyrna was 108 to 100 in
favor of the Bull Moose party but
the Marietta box, where Hon. Her
bert Clay and Judge Newt Morris
stayed on the job went some three
hundred majority out of about 500
or more votes polled.

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE

= F an enlisted man of the United
States Navy were caught with a
bottle of wine hidden away in his
locker he would be punished. But
for years and years the officers in
command of the rank and file have
been privileged to take their nip
when they so desired. and some of
them took more than nip"
What is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander, and 1t is difficult to
see why a privilege that Is regarded
as harmful to the men should be per-
mitted the officers. Secretary Daniels
has scored point for temperance in
his order forbidding the use of intoxi-
cants aboard vessels of the navy. but
he has done more than that. He has
added to the general efficiency of the
service after the manner that large
industrial corporations have found II
necessary to do---by the elimination
of alcohol. ~
No man even only partially under
the influence of drink has any bust
ness trifing with such valuable piece
of apparatus as a war vessel, heavily
freighted as it is with human life.

EVERYBODY LOVES CANDIES

Few of the great industries of this
country have come to the front
through the favor of public demand
as rapidly of late years as the busi-
ness of making and selling confection-
cry. Few have successfully overcome
so much of old prejudice upon the
part OF the medical profession, and
none other among all of the food pur-
veyors coming under the regulation of
the general government have gone so
far in advocating and applying good
sanitary conditions In workshops and
In avoiding the use of any ingredients
injurious to the human digestion.
Leading physicians all over the
world now generally concede the fact
that the love of sweets Is a. natural
craving and that in the form of can
dies it presents its most palatable and
attractive guise. Candies which were
luxury are now considered in mil
hons of homes as highly condensed
form of food and thus a staple COM
modify.
Good candies are cheaper now than
ever before. This is due in some de-
gree to the low cost of sugar, but to
a larger extent to the introduction OF
much ingenious machinery and the
manufacture of special varieties upon
The people of the United States use
far more chocolate than those of any
other nation, and 1t forms a leading
element In a very large percentage of
the candies retailed everywhere. 1t
will be used to still greater extent as
the worlds supply of cocoa beans be-
comes equal to the normal demand.
We will learn, as the French people
have done, to "nibble" chocolates be-
tween meals as a sustenant. All fla
vorings and colorings now employed
by American confectioners are used
by authority of the government, whose
pure food and drug experts constantly
analyZe samples of candies and forbid
any Introduction of such ingredients
as are harmful. In addition, pure food
laws are now enforced by the State
bureaus in all of the Commonwealths
The confectionery industry In the
United States has an annual output
which long since passed the $100, 00O,-
900 mark. There is nothing else which
SO brightens up the home of the wage
Garner as a pound of candies for the
children and grownups of the evening
circle.

RANK q. E1OElIs the former
Harrisburg lad who yesterday
confessed to the robbery of an
Altoona bank, was once q men,
mer of the notorious Tin Can Anes
Gang" that drove the police to desper-
alton by their petty crimes in the
upper part of this city some years
ago. Nearly every member of thai
gang has developed into bad man.
One of mem was killed by police
man and several others are either in
jail or the penitentiary.
Hohps crime was only little
bolder, only a little more desperate
than those of his fellows, but it was
the spirit of the old gang" that drove
him to it. 1t was the things he learn
ed in Tin Can Alley that formed
the foundation for the career of crime
that has brought him to a felon's
cell. ..
In those{days there We're no public
Fairgrounds worthy of mention In
Harrisburg, The boys of the Tin
Can Alley district congregated there
because they had no other place in
which to meet. They did not choose
it of themselves. 1t was forced upon
them. And surely such a place as
Tin Can Alley" is not, to say the
least, conducive to the development
of good boys. The gang" was the
result of the bad environment the
community forced upon Hohl and his
little companions and to that extent
the community is responsible for the
failure of Hohl and the others of the
gang to make good in after life
Intolerance of youth by persons nc
longer young and who cannot remem-
ber that they ever were young is re-
sponsible for the gang boys, accord
| ing to 4. M. Barrows, special investi-
gator for the Peoples Institute of New
York, who spent seven years in New
York's "Hells Kitchen studying how
criminals are made. And what is true
in New York is true in Harrisburg.
Possibly Hohl was inately bad. Pos.
| slpiy he would not have made q good
citizen even with the. utmost care
and the best of surroundings. But al
least we owed him a chance--and we
didn't give it TO him. r..
That is the reason why the Tele.
graph is SO earnest in it's advocacy oi
public Fairgrounds and many of them
The more Fairgrounds we have, the
more social centers the city supports
the fewer will be the opportunities fol
our boys going astray. Wholesome sur
roundings keep a good boy good and
often make a good boy out of a very
bad boy, for in nine cases out of ten
a lad will live down even the evil ten
lencies of inherited traits if he is
given a chance and shown conclusive
| ly that it pays to be good,

A DESERT EVENING

Dusk, and the purple shadows glide
Ger the desert land,
Cooling the dust parched cacti, hiding
the sun-white sand;
The scent of the palo verde is sweet on
the twilight air,
And the yucca palms are stirring, slen-
der and frail and fair.
A. weary pack train. ghost-like, halts
by the water tank,
Where the mallow flowers blossom, bold
and flaming and rank.
The brown bees circle the greasewood
and a lonely outcast cries,
The howl of lean coyote raised to the
saffron skies.
Distant the ragged foothills, scared
and scorched by the sun,
Wait the caressing darkness, after the
day is done.
And sweet from the pale mesquit trcer
song of feathered throat,
Haunting and wild and tender the thrill
of the mocking-bird's note.
Draw near to my arms, beloved! Our
campfire iiickers and falls,
While the great stars lean above us
here where the rock-owl calls.

COSTLY METHODS

TT one thing above another has been
demonstrated during the present
i campaign leading up to the pri-
maries in May 1t is that our meth
DDS of submitting the candidates. of
voters to the people are extremely
eXpensive.
Under the uniform primary law, un-
less a man has no opposition for the
domination he seeks, 1t is almost i'm.
possible for him to make the run
without the expenditure of thousands
of dollars. Just how to overcome this
condition is not very apparent, but
certainly some means of removing the
handicap against which the man of
comparatively small means labors
ought to be found. 1t ought not to be,
latter all our labors in the interest of
fair election laws, that nominations
should go to the candidates with the
largest bankrolls.

HURRAH. FOR THE VOLUNTEER
BY Wing Dinger

That was really a dangerous fire ..
We had in the city last night,
And as flames leaped from windows
+ and doorways .H
1t gave nearby dwellers some fright.
But Harrisburg's volunteer firemen,
Just as they have done times before,
Fought like demonds and stopped 1t
from spreading,
They couldn't have done any more.
Once more in the heart of congestion,
Where fire much havoc could work,
They rendered invaluable service,
Not a one from his duty did shirk.
But as stood watching them lighting
l couldn't help think what a crime
That this city should call on it's people
To risk their lives at such a time,
think that a paid fire department
Should now by the city be run,
And the volunteers, who long have
Served, be
Relieved with crown OF "Well
Done"
