BRYAN STRONG FOR PEACE
(NeW York SUM

tNeW Ork SUM
The Commoner, out to-day, contains
a signed article by it's proprietor, the
Secretary of State of the United States
of America, ending with the three as
founding paragraphs here subjoined:
II our nation desires to be meas
ured by intellectual and ethical stand
ards, how unworthy to brag of our
strength and threaten to use that
strength. We are ready to fight does
not arouse the enthusiasm that it did a
rev centuries ago. Brute force is not
the level upon which this nation set
ties controversies to-day; the question
is not what we can do, but what we
ought to do.
THE path of history is strewn with
the wreck of nations that boasted that
they were all powerful; they went
down under Jehovahs ineXorable law
and the God who ruled over Baby
lon is the God who is ruling vet
This question must be decided on
moral principles and not by the count
ing of our regiments and battleships
What shall it profit a nation if it
conquers the whole world and loses
its faith in the doctrine that right
eousness eXalteth a nation?
"W. j.. BRYAN"
Think of it! This mess of apocalyp-
tic rhetoric and ecstatic eXhortaton
was put forth unotlicially from the
Department of State by the Secretary
of State on the very day when the
Administration of which he next to
the President, is the principal figure
was counting its battleships and maxi
ing an unprecedented demonstration
of naval strength and threatening to
use that strength; declaring that it is
ready to fight; anc actually appeal
ing to Congress for fun war powers
wherewith to settle an International
controversy by brute force.
And Secretary Bryan Indignantly
denies that he thinks of resigninc.

"ENLISTING"
BY Wing Dipgcr

It's mighty queer how ages
Will change with men and boys,
AS soon as real gun powder
Like war does make noise.
The boy who's under eighteen,
About his age will lie,
In order to enlist and
Go forth to fight and die.
The man who's somewhat older
Who's always full of tricks,
And tries to make himself look young
Now says he's forty-siX.
1 guess the latter figure
They'd rather not be spooks-
Hes cowardly" Is better
Than How natural he looks"
But just the same, if there should
Be calls for volunteers.
You'll find 'em all enlisting,
Regardless of their years.
For they're the kind of people
Who ready are to die
In keeping dear Old Glory
Forever waving high.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S PLIGHT

= UNFORTUNATELY for President
Wilson in the Mexican situation
~ the opinion will not down that
the spineless policy of the ad-
ministration with respect to condi-
ttons south of the Rio Grande has been
in large measure responsible for the
serious problem which now confronts
the Omitted States. While the people
Will support the President in every
proper way since actual steps have
been taken to suppress Huerta, there
Is an ill-concealed public sentiment
adverse to the whole business 1T is
hard to arouse enthusiasm over mill
tary operations which are based upon
an alleged slight to the American flag
when for months pillage and rapine
and bloodshed have devastated the un-
fortunate neighboring republic without
any effort upon the part of the ad-
ministration to prevent the outrages.
1t appears to be the deliberate
judgment of men familiar with condi-
tlons in Mexico that prompt recog-
milton of the only constituted authority
in that country year ago would have
prevented much of the bloodshed and
property destruction which have char
acterized the unhindered course of the
bandits who are masquerading as
constitutional patriots. Not only
did President Wilson refuse to recog-
nze Huerta; he placed within reach
of the marauding bandits in the north
abundant munitions OF war that the
rebels might pursue their infamous
and bloody campaign.
There is no such enthusiasm among
our own people as might be expected
under the circumstances. Instead,
there is widespread criticism of the
course of the President, who was
finally forced to find some reasonable
offense to justify a move against
Huerta. Nor is there very clear

LOCAL OPTION PROSPECTS

n TORE and more it becomes evil
M dent that the next Legislature
- will adopt local option law.
There will be unquestionably n
discussion of its provisions, but it is
certain that such law will be passed
in one form or another.
1t is interesting to note in this re-
spect that whereas local option ten
dencies used to be regarded as weak
points in the prospects of any legisa-
tive candidate, now it is generally
conceded that any man who dares run
for the Legislature this year on any
other platform will ieopardize his
chances of election.
Temperance sentiment is strong and
growing in Pennsylvania and 1t is but
fair that the Legislature give COM

CLEANUP WEEK

~ r. MARTIN G.. BRUMBAUGH,
who will be the next Governor
- of Pennsylvania, is strong for
the cleanup week movements
throughout the State, saying, Self
respect is essential to all spiritual
progress. No city that neglects its
streets and public buildings can ex-
pect to compete with rival whose
civic pride will not permit such neg
lect. Cleanliness and neatness in body
tend toward clean and orderly think
ing and acting. This is fundamental
thought in education. and this is why
I believe in cleanup week.
Mayor Royal having indicated two
weeks in May as the period in which
the people of Harrisburg shall give
special attention to renovation, every
householder should begin the cleaning
up process by getting rid OF every
atom of rubbish around his place.

RETAIN MIR. MANNING

TOW that the City Planning Com
M mission is about ready to un-
1 Y dertake its important work, we
have no doubt that one of the
first moves will be the engagement
of Warren II. Manning, the landscape
architect, who has done so much In
the development of our splendid park
system. AS one familiar with the local
conditions and who has made a study
of Harrisburg for several years, Mr.
Manning is the one expert above all
others who should be invited to con-
tinue his work here. With the ac-
tive citizens who compose the new
commission we have no doubt the i'm
portance of securing Mr.. Manning for
consultation will be Immediately ap-
parent. No argument on this propo-
sition is necessary.

CONGRESS AND THE RAILROADS

From the Philadelphia LEDGER
1t was inevitable that the railroads
should be accused of attempting to
prejudice the public in favor of the
rate increase, but nothing more than
a statement of facts was necessary to
convince reasonable people of the de-
STABILITY of the new rates. The idea
of some of the politicians seems to be
that if the railroads are not earning
"a living they ought to be conflscated
and that if they are earning a living
they ought to be confiscated anyhow

THAT "WATCHFUL WAITING"

IFrom the Philadelphia Ledger1
If the same spirit and firmness in
dealing with the Mexican revolution
ary leaders had been shown at the
beginning and consistently maintained
all danger of war with Mexico or. any
portion of the MeXicans would have
been averted. On the other hand the
weak policy of watchful waiting has
brought the United States and Mexico
to the point of armed collision which
has all the appearance of the begin
ming of actual war.

GERMANS CUT OUT
 FRENCH DISH NAMES
Irish Stew Gets a Name That Ought

(By The Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 18.-The resolve of the Germans to be eX- clusively German and to expel even from their menus all foreign words has led to the compilation of smaii book which goes over the whOle ground of the kitchen, and supplies substitutes for the numerous foreign words at present applied to variety of German dishes. Some of the titles provoke humorous comments from the German papers.
 The "delicatessen" for which Ger many is famous is henceforth to be known as Lechereinen of tit-bits, Sauces, which have been known by their French cognonmen, are to be called Beiguesse supplementary fluids. A mutton "chop" must be called in German double mutton loin piece; beefsteak is pounded lOin piece and Irish stew mutton in the pot Germans citizen fashion"

SOLDIERS TAKE LONG
 HOLIDAYS FROM BATTLE
After Fighting For a Time They go

lBy The Associated Press. )


 BAR-LE-DUC, Dec. 18.-Tens of thousands of soldiers in the active fighting army at the front have not fired a shot for a month or two at time. They serve their fortnight at the extreme firing line, some hours day in the trenches or just next to them with their own artillery throw ing shells over their heads, but never having the chance to empty a cart ridge at their adversaries. The inter vals in the reserve lines are spent in hard work, trenching and fortifying, repairing roads, building shelters for themselves and the horses and in towns, where quartered, keeping streets clean.
 The private is becoming thoroughly tired of the war, but his attitude to- ward all the unromantic aspects of his work is fine He understands tEat in mending a road he is contributing to the success of the French armies just as though he were firing a gun. AL though he wants the war to get on- ward and end, he cheerfully takes the commonplace with the excitement. Some of the excellent roads back of the lines are being repaired with poles cut from the forests laid crOsswise, making the old-fashioned American corduroy road"

 A number of prominent literary wo- men have urged that English women should be as cautious as the English men about their associates and should shun all women of German or Aus trian sympathies at time when chance remarks might give valuable information to the enemy.

of the activities of Dutch spies who served as governesses and servants in Belgium and women in families have also thrown suspicion on Ger mans and Austrians who are in service in various parts of England. The Bel gian refugees who are in England have issued general warning against German women as well as German men, and their tales of how Belgian cities were betrayed by German spies in all walks of life have alarmed the English.
 Alarming tales have been printed in London papers of alleged German spies high in social and fnan,ial circles, and practically all of the lead ing mems clubs have asked med of German or Austrian birth to resign or refrain from frequenting clubrooms during the war. Many supposed spies high in official life voluntarily left England before the movement against suspected persons became so acute. Charges were generally made that even Germans who had become nat uralized had often done so only for business and social reasons anl were at heart Germans as much as ever.
