SERNIA JUSTIFIED

GED King Peter of Servia. is
~ back in the ancient capital of
~ his nation. The invader has
been driven not only from Bel
grade, but from Servia soil as we'll.
Only last week King Peter went
down into the trenches where his
sturdy little army was facing the Aus
trian hordes. with its back to the wall
and the courage of desperation in its
heart. "Servians," he cried, II have
come to fight and die with you." and
prompted by the heroic example of
their king the gallant little band of
defenders arose and smote the Aus
trians hip and thigh, sending them
pell-mell across the border and leav-
ing behind to the victorious Servians
hundreds OF thousands of dollars
worth of munitions of war.
We hear much of the virtue of
military preparedness and the prepon-
derance of numbers. Both play their
important parts in the great conflict
now raging, but the spirit that kept
Washington's barefoot soldiers toeing
the mark at Valley Forge while they
left their bloody marks on the snow
they trod, and which took his little
army across the ice-filled Delaware at
midnight to face an unknown foe, is
In the end the predominant factor in
any struggle. 1t has always been so
and always will be.
The Servians have demonstrated be-
yond doubt their right to independ-
ence as a nation. They deserve the
congratulations showered upon them.
They have just cause to rejoice. They
have justified their long fight for ma
uonal existence. They have in them
the spirit of a free and sovereign peo-
pie.

THE GERMAN PRIVATE

PHOTOGRAPHS from the war
u zone-one of which appeared on
the first page of the Telegraph
Wednesday - show the German
soldier in a far different light from
that in which he has been painted by
some writers of the war. So much OF
vandalism has been laid at the door
Of the German army that it has been
easy to accuse the individual German
soldier of cruelty and other conduct
at variance with preconceived no.
tions of the typical German. Doubt
less there has been brutality on both
sides, but the average German is no
more to blame than the average
private in the ranks of the allies.
The pictures that have been snapped
at the front show the Kaiser's
men feeding homeless boys and girls
who flock fearlessly about them, smil-
ing and confident of receiving their
fair share of the distribution. Yet
these are the self-same soldiers who
are charged with gross misconduct
toward noncombatants in the war
zone.

UNCLE SAM AND FATHER PENN

THE opinion rendered by Attorney
General John C. Bell a day or
= so ago, when he decided that
state certificates and licenses
did not require a federal war tax
stamp, not only cleared up what had
been bothering some of the States
officials, but very definitely settled
where the authority of the federal gov
ernment ends in Pennsylvania's gov
eminent.
The opinion, which is fortified by
many citations from federal and State
court opinions, says that the same
principles which exempt the State
from taxation by the United States
government apply to State officials in
reference to the tax. It is not a mat
ter of concern to Father Penn how
Uncle Sam gets his war tax. Penn
sylvania officials are named to dis
charge duties provided by State laws
and the national government can not
make them agencies for collection of
its taxes. Where the Washington gov
ernment gives aid to the militia or the
highways it has certain rights, but su-
pervision over Pennsylvania affairs
ends there.

FRIDAY EVENING. DECEMBER
IEMOYNE,S EXAMPLE

EMOYNE. that thriving little
cross river borough. has the true
Christmas spirit. Its people are
preparing to celebrate the great
holiday in a truly Christmas fashion.
The whole town will rally around an
immense municipal Christmas tree on
the evening of December "a and every
child of the community, rich and poor
alike, is to receive a present from one
of the numerous Santa Claus helpers
who have volunteered for the work on
that occasion and there will be bas-
ket of substantial fare for every poor
family the committee in charge can
locate. Not only that, but. best of all,
everybody in Lemoyhe, high and low,
is having a hand in the preparations
and all are doing their tasks with a
zeal and cheerful good will pleasing
to observe.
Not only does this mean very
merry Christmas for all Lemoyne, but
it shows that the citizenship of the
town is of a high type and that the
borough is awake to the fact that the
modern municipality Is more than a
mere congregation of human habita-
tions. Lemoyne has set an example
not only for all the West Shore. but
for the State and nation as we'll.

NLAN-AIADE LAWS

JUSTICE BLACKMAR. of the New
York State Supreme Court, held in
a decision yesterday in Brooklyn
~ that the economy of wife in saw
ing part of the money given her by her
husband for the family maintenance
does not make her owner of a cent of
the funds so saved.
This remarkable decision was made
in the suit of Charles S. Montgom-
cry. Jr., against Mrs. Emma Lee Mont
gomery. The evidence showed that
years ago the Montgomerys started a
joint bank account. Every week she
saved part of the money her hus-
band gave her for household uses and
deposited it. In November last there
was on deposit $61S.
Then the couple quarreIed, and when
Montgomery tried to draw the money
he discovered his wife had stopped
payment. In deciding that the bank
account is Montgomery's property. Jus
tice Blackmar wrote:
I regret to say that our law has
not reached the point of holding
that property which is the Joint re-
Sull OF the earnings of the hus-
band and the wife is their Joint
property. No matter how careful
ano provident the wife may be, and
no matter IL such prudence is really
the cause of the accumulation Of
savings, IL the money originally be-
ionSed 70 the husband it is still
ms, unless the evidence shows a
gift to his wife.
No wonder the suffrage movement
has grown in this country! The law
that awards all to the husband and
nothing to the wife is like giving the
man legal right to say: What's yours
Is mine. and what's mine is my own
The provisions of this statute are SO
absurd that it is difficult to understand
why 1t has been allowed to remain on
the statute books. unless we accept the
dictum Of the suffra gists that all exist
ing laws are man-made for the benefit
Of man.

THAT MIDNIGHT THIRST
BY Wing Dlnger
Why is it that in warm weather,
When you'd think you'd thirsty get,
You will sleep all night. and never
Long to sip some water wet,
But in winter, when it's freezing,
Long about 2:10 4. NJ,
Floors as cold as ice, you cannot
Summon power your thirst to stem.
But you've got to leave your warm bed
Chase half way across the room,
Running into chairs and tables,
Cussing like an angry groom,
Who learns that the last minute
His lone shirt is badly soiled-
Find the water pitcher-empty-
Adding heat to blood that's boiled.
But you simply cannot beat ii,
If you'd save chill or two.
Brother. I'd suggest that you do
That which / have learned to do.
Put a table by your bedside.
Set thereon a pitcher filled,
And you'll find that thirst at midnight
Is effectually killed.

The First Test
of Advertising

Reducing it to plain terms,
the first rule in successful ad-

What so answers that descrip-

Every man, woman and child
who reads at all is a newspaper

Each newspaper has a dis

accounts for the difference In his han

"A strange fact exists regarding the
Germans and the Bard OF Avon. His
works are played more times IN Ger
