Not only the government but the
people of the United States must keep
their heads level in these days, when
the wal is sore in Europe, and the
later arrivals in the United States and
their immediate descendants, carried
away by their sympathies for this or
hat contry in Europe are apt to mis-
Judge the situation and what should
be the duty of this country in this for
.eign war.
. They all recall what the respective
countries have done for us and are
not careful enough in giving their OPP
Unions of what our country should do
now.
Such people forget that the first in
stinct Of nations, as well as individ-
uals, is the instinct of self-preserva-
ton, and that when the war is over all
the belligerents in Europe will need
our country's friendship more than
they ever did before. We are under
obligations to them all; all of them
owe us something.
To begin with our country was or
iginally mostly settled by immigrants
from Great Britain. They stamped
upon this land the English language
and all that is best in English law and
literature and the reverence for law
and the love of home which are among
the strongest attributes of Englishmen.
By these both the Puritans in the
north and the Cavaliers in the south,
though widely different in other re-
spects, were united.
But the ideas hat prevailed of the
duties of colonies toward their for
eign sovereign, were much the same
that Spain chung to up to the very
hour when it became necessary to
break her hold upon all her island po-
sessions because of the cruelties that
she permitted her agents to perpe-
trate, until eternal justice demanded
$their surcease.
So England heaped expressions up
on her American colonies, and despite
the warnings of Burke and Fox and
Chatham, persisted until the revolt
came and the seven years war. Her
attitude was hat of anger and con-
tempt. She hired m~ercenaries to
come and fight her battles, on the
frontier she engaged savages t raw
age the settlements.

thrown up on Breeds (Bunker) Hill,
which might have easily been made
~untenable, by a warship in the har-

Islered them to drag the rag-muf-

That war won for this country, in
dependence, but it also taught Eng
land a lesson on the treatment of col

manned by volunteers from the Britain
naval reserve, sink the Kearsarge and
when the result was not quite as ex-
pected, an English yacht was at hand
to rescue the American commander
of the British built ship and carry
him away to England.
In u war with Spain, all the SYM
pathies of France and Germany were
with Spain and their newspapers pic
tured with glee, how Cervia's fleet
would sweep the paper warships of
the United States from the sea. But
then Great Britain was our friend and
the service rendered Admiral Dewey
in Manila perhaps saved our country
from a war with Germany. At that
time a distinguished German in this
country made a remark which was
most significant. When asked why
Germany was so urgent in building a
great navy, he replied: "One of these
days she will come over and poke a
large hole in your Monroe doctrine"
The foregoing only shows that Ia
tons are governed-at least all but
our own-by their own interests and
that friendship is easily thrust aside.
when an emergency ONE 1t is clear
too, why we cannot afford to take
sides in the present European con-
flict.
In our great war our foremost COM
mander in the North was of Scotch
Irish descent, the second was a Puri-
tan descent; the foremost of the
Suothern side came down from the
Cavaliers; while in Sheridan on the
North and Cleburne at the South,
there was not a drop of blood in
either one that was not Irish. Then
there was Siegel and Schurz and Os-
terhaus and scores more of officers
and regiments, divisions and corps
of unmiXed German soldiers.
The names on the rolls of all those
armies show the distinct ~nationali-
ties, but if in one way they were dis
tinct as waves they were united as the
sea.
Around every bulletin board we see
this divergence of na~tionalities but
all united as to our country.

If not before, our test will come, Were
Germany to conquer with her armies
and save her fleet, she would be hard
to get along with.
Were the allives to win we would
have much cause to be apprehensive
for Japan would be saucy, aggressive
and t%reacherous, backed as she would
be by Great Britain and Russia. If
there Is any lesson in 1t all to our
country it is to be prepared while
waiting for what is to be.-Goodwin's

Captain Robert Watson, R. N, had
been timidly turned down as to his
marriage proposition to Sheila Dono-
van when he put it up to her in the
nook to which he had led her after
their dance. She wasn't long out of
school, and he was 40 years old.
Perhaps you're a little too old for
me to marry" she nesitatingly said.
I'm so horribly young, you iee."
"All right, little girl. I'll try not
to mind
Il was fool" he said to himself.
as he put on his coat and walked
out into the night. "An old fool, and
that's worse" with a shrug.
And Sheila, who had left school
such a little while before suddenly
realized that she was no longer girl.
To the golf links at Poolmouth,
Bob Watson had got early the next
morning, carrying his own bag of
clubs. He wanted to get out in the
open air and hit something and re-
lieve his feelings by expanding his
energy. He felt exceedingly youthful,
and Sheila's remarks of the night be-
fore ranked, for his pride was hurt
quite as much as his heart.
"Too old at forty!" he said, as he
swung viciously at the ball and sent
1t soaring away in the air. "She
ought to have seen that-and, by
: Jove! she has"
For at that moment Sheila appear
ed over the rise in front and ap-
plauded his stroke by waving her
hand.
Good morning" she said, as he
came up to her Were the only
people playing today. It's too cold
for any but the hardest souls"
Bob suddenly became aware of the
presence of an uncouth, brawny-
looking man with five-days-old
beard on his face He had suddenly
appeared from nowhere in particular
and seemed, to Judge from his man.

mind.

Bob. Il wonder if you remember me?"

his voice rising as he worked himself

brought me to this"
"Stoker Bateson, yes, l remember
you now said Bob calmly. you
were a dissolute, useless sailor, and
the worst man aboard the ship. The
punishment I gave you wasn't half
that you deserved"
Eyes, you could talk mealy-mouthed
and haw, haw. then" shouted the
stoker, but you can't now. Cos why?
Cos there amt no ships police to
protect you. Cos I'm a vivilian now,
and as good as any blooming ships
captain-see?"
Eyes, that'll do" said Bob gternly.
"And now you clear off, you black
guard, or I'll give you in charge"
Bateson took step forward and
thrust his face against his late cap

Give me IN charge" he sneered.
You can't do It, COS there amt no

to break you up"

So at 1t they went, after the can
tain had told Sheila to go over the
rise and wait for him The two we're
fairly evenly matched physically. but
of course Watson had the benefit of
higher mentality, and while during
the encounter he was nearly down
and out more than once, and had got
pretty badly battered he finally got
in blow that put Bateson to the
bad for good.
Bateson lay on the ground for

Boys Grades the Clergy.

Why Worry?

ing, poverty, shame-any evil that be-
falls you-can be endured when the
time comes for facing it. Strength
is found for facing reality - or else
one goes under and is finished But
for the waste and wear and tear and
silly foolishness of fitting at shad-
ows, there is no remedy-except just
| to STOP.
Worry brings trouble nearer, makes
it happen sooner, clouds hours that
might well have been sun filled,
weakens the power of enduring when
real trouble arrives. Worry nets you
no gain, gets you no power. There
is never an antidote for worry in ac-
ton of useless sort. 1t never sane
ly works out methods of avoiding
evil. 1t is just fiustered fright that
cannot take proper precautions to
prevent harmful happening.
Why worry? Thee are many
things in life that cannot be changed
and that must be endured. Winter
is bound to have billiards.; summer
is sure to have scorching sunshine,
but against facts of climate and natu-
raj phenomena, against strong physi-
cal reactions and fatigue and pain
and hunger and thirst, worry will not
avail you.

rday. Recently he met with financial
ruin. His worrying had not impelled
him to take precautions or save for
"a rainy day." But his worrying had
clouded the ten years that might
have been happy.
Why worry? There is no force for
good in worry; no impulse to ward
off evil; no strength to combat dan
ger. Worry wakes nerves and wrin-
kles; it is the traitor who opens the
citadel of your personality to evil; it
wears you out anticipating suffering
so that you are not strong to combat

The legs of the stork are long, the
legs of the duck are short; you can
not make the legs of the stork short,
neither can you make the legs of the
duck long. Why worry?" says the
Chinese philosopher.
The world is not at all as most of
us would have it. In summer we who
work in the great cities must face
lo.55 stretches of hot days when we
g through our toll in sweltering
discomfort.
But what do we accomplish if when
the first hot day of July arrives we
begin to worry lest this be the be-
ginning of a hot spell?' Neither
heat nor cold is any the easier to
bear because we worry about our
ability to bear 1t.
Do you know why an aching tooth
troubles you most at night? During
tho day your tooth has ached bit
but you have been busy about your
tasks and have had little time to
spend in considering the pain, or if
you did consider it at all it was to
dismiss it with the idea that if it got
unbearable you could run in to your
dentists Office for a minute and seek
relief.
At night how different the case of
your tooth versus you! You lie down
in fear lest it begin to ache and thus
cause you suffering. You worry your
self into a state of weak receptive
ness where pain and tangled nerves
may have full sway. You imagine
how dreadful the pain will be when
it comes.
All worry has as poisonous an effect
as this. Never was there wiser mot

The opening of the Colonial Theater
Monday morning at II o'clock as a
moving picture theater will mark the
start. of what promises to be a busy
theatrical season for the Wilmer and
Vincent people operating the Or
pheum, Majestic and Colonial in Har-
risburg.
The Colonial has been completely re-
furnished and renovated for the open
ing Monday and the installation of the
big three manual Moller pipe organ
was completed to-day. Special cleo
trical equipment has been provided to
insure perfect projection of the pic
lures on the screen and the lobbies of
the theater have been made over into
spots of ease and beauty. The big
screen is surrounded by a Japanese
pagoda setting, making the setting eX-
ceedingly beautiful. The floors have
been completely recarpeted and the
interior and exterior boast new coats
of paint.
Changes of program will be made
at the Colonial every Monday, We'd
nesday and Friday. High class film
features, Pathe news pictorials and
the best comedy films will be shown

group of features being contra cted
for.
The opening headliner will be Cyrus
Townsend Brady's five-reel film story,
THE Chalice of Courage" which will
feature the Monday and Tuesday pro-
gram. This film story has it's setting
in the heart of the Rocky Mountains
and the scenic effects produced
through photography in the dead of
winter are most picturesque. The tale
revolves around a recluse and an east
,ern girl, both of whom are immured
in a mountain hut over winter because
of the impossible SHOWS. When the
Spring comes then comes happiness
for both and suicide for the man who
stood between their love. The story

Climbers will be shown; Friday and
Saturday, the headliner will be
"Crooky' with Frank Daniels, the
well-known comedian, in the principal
role.
Much interest is being evinced
