GERMANY'S PREPAREDNESS

There is little to support the contention of those
advocates of peace in Europe VINO hold that if
other things do not bring about settlement of the
great European war it ultimately must end through
the exhaustion Of the German resources, in the
statement attributed in Berlin dispatch published
To-day, to the German Imperial Chancellor Dr. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg which is in effect that Germany
has enough copper, OIL rubber and other supplies
and funds to continue the war to the end" Ap-
parently by g continuing the war to the end the
Chancellor means until one side or the other sue
ceeds in annihilating its enemy, if such thing
must be.
Assuming that the German Chancellor is accu-
rately informed as to his country's resources the
peace advocates might just as well eliminate the
theory that the conflict will end itself through
Germany running out of supplies and of money
and begin to think about other methods for bring
ing about settlement. The Allies, in the general
opinion are in far better position to obtain supplies
for the war than is Germany and so if it be true
That Germany is actually in position to continue
the war to the end" that end must be brought
about by some other plan than the starving out of
the subjects of the Kaiser
Next comes the question: ''What is the other

EDMUND BREESE Clever
Supported by Excellent Company
Two Presentations of To-day"
in the Majestic Theatre

Edmund Breese, in the star role in
"To-day," scored distinct triumph in
two performances in the Majestic The
atre Saturday afternoon and evening.
Breese has the personality to carry off
this drama of so-called New York life
of the present day, even to the loving
mally his wife, whom he murders at
the close of the show because of her
infdehty.
The action of the show seems rather
slow, it taking most of the four acts
to work up to the exciting climax, yet
the plot is rather obvious. Some sus-
pense is provided, however, by the un-
certainty as to what the husband will
do when he makes the inevitable dis
coverv of his wife s faithlessness.
Mr.. Breese is capably supported by
Miss Ethel Valentine in the part of the
wife. Miss Margaret Robinson, as a
New York woman we'll acquainted with
the various methods used by wives in
deceiving husbands and who is re-
sponsible for the wife's going wrong,
played her part splendidly. Rarely has
Harrisburg seen such an excellent com
pany of actors.

Pictures of the European War

There has never been a motion pic
ture exhibited that has commanded such
universal attention as has the Chicago
Tribune's motion pictures of the Euro
pean war taken under the direction of
tine Belgian government and to be
shown at the Majestic for three days,
beginning tonight with matinee to-
morrow and Wednesday. During the
presentation of the pictures in New
York, three theatres were constantly
filed with people eager to get actual
first hand knowledge of conditions as
they exist in Belgium.
These pictures taken by Edwin F.
Wegle will undoubtedly stand as the
most marvellous historical record ever
made. Mr.. Weigle was with the Bel
gian army, and on its firing line from
early in September until the fall Of
Antwerp and the scenes of the battles
of Alost, Maline and Termonde, that he
was able to secure with his movie cam
era are of the greatest educational
value. They not only picture the pre-
paration for, the carrying out of and
the effects of modern warfare, but show
clearly the pathos of war, without any
melodramatic glamor they bring home
the horror and woe that stalks in the
trail of the modern fighting machine,
as the pictures bring one face to face
with existing conditions in the stricken
country. adv.

LAD STOPPED A FOX CHASE
Penned Reynard in Barn and Now Is
Charged With Larceny

Carlisle, Jan. 4.-Who has the right
to catch q fox at chase of the kind
in vogue in this section9 This inter
esting question will come up for de-
cision before Justice Hughes within a
short time when Glenn Whitmer, son
of Daniel Whitmer, who lives on the
Noble farm near here, will be called
upon to answer to a charge of larceny
preferred against him by Charles H
Brown, Of town.
A week ago following a duly adver'
tised schedule a fox chase was inaugu'
rated just outside the borough limits
and Reynard, getting a flying start
gave the dozen participants a lively
chase until finally he headed for the
Wihitmer farm and entered the barn. II
is alleged that Glenn Whifmer immedi-
ately shut the door, contining the fox
inside and would not let the hunters
on the premises. He claims that he did
not know the animal was in the barn

VALUE OF DEBATING ORGANIZATIONS

Ponderous books or reference are used more ex-
tenslvely at the Richmond branch of the Philade-
phia free library according to reports than in any
other library branch in that city 1t is because of
the organization of debating clubs, with large mem
berships Of young people, which gather at regular
Intervals in the library for formal meetings and at
irregular intervals for individual reference work
Boys between and 10 years make up large
art OF the membership of the library leagues, and
fcome deeply interested in the subjects of their
riodical debates. The programs of the meetings
are arranged with the idea of stimulating such
interest, and are calculated to keep the dust from
settling on the reference works and on other sub
stantial books on the library shelves
1t is not difficult to arouse boys or a girls
interest in subject of educational value provid-
ing the subject is at the same time made attractive
to him or her. Especially is it easy to stir up en-
thusiasm if the subject is to be treaten in formal
debate
Normal children are eager to learn, when attract
i've subjects offered to them and it is only when
they look upon studies as drudgery that they re-
volt. There is perhaps no better way to encourage
study among children than to give them an early
start on debating teams

these qualities may be developed through athletics,
and more. Friendly trials of strength, endurance
and pluck instruct in fairness, and what is more,
the inspire respect for skillful opponents.
There is just enough of the spirit of keen com
petition in any international athletic contest to
make it enjoyable and beneficial, yet not enough to
bring about brutality. In athletic sports there is
friendly competition satisfying the desires of spec
tators well of participants, for exciting strug
giles. Cruel and bloody conflicts between armed
men the field of battle cannot develop in civil
ans and soldiers the highest and most commendabe
qualities.
When the knights of old not engaged in
actual warfare they exercised their skill in tourna-
ments. The sport was crude one and demanded
the lives of the weaker participants yet it met the
desires of the knights to engage in combat of
sort.
Athletic sports of to-day call for skill,-not for
cruelty for strength-not for brutality and for
courage,-not for vicousness. They stimulate de-
sirable qualities, and they require sacrifice of
lives, except through unavoidable accident.
The learned psychologist has suggested that in
ternatonal athletics could replace warfare, far
the psychological effects concerned,
and it remains for peace advocates to plan for the
carrying out of the suggestion, for professors can
seldom put their own ideas into practice
