Yes was the melancholy reply.

old man. hold out your hat-here's a

On, the fourth day the Germans

in artillery pieces-Succeeded in cross
ing the Delaware; and after that the
issue of the battle was never in doubt,
the American forces being outnumb bered
and outclassed. Two thirds of General
Woods army were either militia, insult
f1cienty equipped and half trained, or
raw recruits. There were fifteen thou
sand of the latter who had volunteered
within fortnight, loyal patriots ready
to die for their country, but without the
slightest ability to render efficient
military service. These volunteers in
cluded clerks, businessmen, profess
sional men from the cities of New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania, thousands of
workmen from great factories like the
Roebling wire works, thousands of viii
layers and farmers. all blazing with
zeal, but none of them able to handle
a high power Springfield rifle or operate
rangeffnder or make the adjustments

"They shot away tons of ammunition
without hitting anything" said one of
the American officers to me. They
didn't know how to use wind gauges
or elevation sights. They couldn't even
pull q trigger properly"

Pas cheeks are thin an kinder pale. he

He has to hire a man to dig the garden

a POSSIBLE explanation of the
IA recent visit of a Russian envoy
to the Pennsylvania State De-

ment from Petrograd that a wide

schools and colonies for the children
of soldiers killed or severely wounded
in battle has been started by Imperial
ukese.
The immediate management and
control of the schools is to be in the
hands of the local Zemstvos, which

CIVIC CENTERS

i plans for a civic center in that
city. All live municipalities are
thinking of the civic centers. either
in the way of developing that which
they have or for the creation of such
places when opportunity shall offer.
The Mayor and the 'City Planning
Commission favor comprehensive
scheme for Baltimore and the Ameri-
can urges the expenditure OF a vast
sum for that purpose as good business
for the city.
And it is good business; good busi-
ness for any city to create for itself
civic center around which shall clus-
ter the governmental. educational, So
cial and philanthropic activities of the
municipality, housed in buildings of
proper dignity and harmonious and
beautiful in design.
Harrisburg in this respect is far
more fortunate than most towns.
When the new Capitol Park extension
is completed North street and Walnut
street will front on two sides and the
Capitol itself on the third side, while
it is not. unlikely that eventually a
great Pennsylvania railroad passenger
station will occupy the fourth. AL
ready on Walnut street a beginning
has been made by the construction of
the Technical high school, and either
on North or on Walnut should be
built the new Central high school that
must come at no very distant date
Also. thero is at Fourth and Walnut
streets the fine new Young Women's
Christian Association building and on
North street at Capitol the Scottish
Rite Cathedral which will be enlarged
from time to time. Altogether the city
has very fair beginning for what is
destined to be a wonderfully beautiful
Civic Center.
Eventually. too, National Guard ar
mories and State buildings of various
kinds will be erected along Walnut
street or North, the armories with
sidings run into them from the rail-
roads for quick loading and unloading
of supplies and munitions.
With these changes will come also
the widening of Walnut street, North
street and Third the full length Of the
Capitol grounds. All of these thor
oughfares were laid out when the
town was young and when their width
accommodated all needs. To-day they
are crowded beyond safety at busy
hours of the day. Tho widening can
be done at small cost and without
damage to the property owner, as a
few feet from the States park prop
erty on three sides of the park will be
all that will be needed.
These are subjects that the City
Planning Commission has under con.
sideratiop. 1t is one of the duties of
this commission to foresee just such
problems and to provide a way in
which they may be solved far
in advance of the time when the i'm
provement is to be considered. This
kind of work is as important and as
far-reaching in it's possibilities as any
function of the municipal government.
