CHAMBERS ANNUAL MEETING

T<HE annual meeting of the Cham
ber OF Commerce next Monday
evening promises to be one of
the interesting events in the year S
activities of that important body. In
addition to electing FIVE directors there
will be a buffet supper, followed by
addresses by W. p. G. Harding, of
Washington. a member of the Federal
Reserve Board; FREDERICK Alfonso
from Peru, and Captain Richard Stock
ton. Jr.. OF the Bordentown Military
Institute. 4 noted military writer and
speaker on national defense.
This array of speakers for the even
ing assures an unusual occasion and
still further places the Chamber of
Commerce in the very forefront of or
ganizations of this character in the
country. Practically all the live
wires of the community are members
of the Chamber and one of the promis-
ing signs is the large number of young
men who are becoming identified with
the organization and its activities. 1t
means much for the future of the city.
II should not be forgotten that the
great municipal celebration of last
week was entirely organized and
financed by the Chamber of Com
merce. It is seldom the general COM
munity is not called upon to pay the
freight under such circumstances. In
this instance it fell upon the business
men who compose the organization.

BLoTTING OUT A NATION

Ifrom the Kansas City Start
In Asiatic Turkey a nation is being
assassinated. The reports from Eng
lish newspapers printed in The Star
Saturday merely confirm what Ambas-
sador Morgenthau has reported from
Constantinople. A few days ago he es-
timated the number of Armenians who
had perished at $4,000.
Enver Pasha. Turkish Minister of
War, is boasting that he has accom-
plished in thirty days what Abdul Ham
id failed to accomplish in thirty years
There are about 100000 Armenlans
in Turkey. They are a sturdy, highly
intelligent people. From time to time
against them. Thousands were killed
in the massacres of 1895. But under
the stress of war the Turks have be-
gun a policy of determination which,
for the extent of sheer brutality, prob
ably has not been equaled in history.
Pity is a modern trait, and the Turks
are medieval people. Their dealings
with the Armenians have been simply
unthinkable. Travellers haveJ brought
and outrage. Populations of village
after village have been set upon by SOL
dieri. the men killed and the women
and children sent off for distribution
among Moslem families.
The atrocities are far away. America
may not be able to bring any influence
to bear to stop them, But there is at
least the force of public sentiment. The
Turkish Government may be made to
feel that 1t has earned the scorn of the
civilized world and that it is an out
cast nation.

UTNEYs AND THE TROLLEY

CTOCKHOLDERS of the Harris
burg Railways Company are still
wondering how much further the
jitney development and the industrial
depression will send their investments
downward. The dividend payable to-
morrow is l per cent. for the last six
months, showing an accumulated divi-
dend deficiency since January OF 2 z
PER cent. And the worst of this show
ing is that the dividend of l per cent.
is declared out of the remaining sur
plus and not out of the earnings OF
the semiannual period.
II appears further that the worst is
Yet to come. inasmuch as the six
Iionths ending October l usually con-
stitute the profitable period by reason
OF summer business and heavy travel
TO parks and other places near the city.
Unless a dividend is earned during this
period the chances are that the six
months from October l to April l will
show a further deficiency. While this
Ia the phase of the subject which
chiefly concerns the stockholders, tn
matter that is receiving the attention
of the municipal officials is the prob
able loss of city revenues for the year.
Bnder an ordinance requiring the
Harrisburg Railways Company to pay
to the city each year per cent. of its
Eross receipts the city received last
year s23. 3.7SO.92. In addition the COM
pany expended last year for street paw
ing and bridges S1O.745. 1t is said the
total taxes paid by the local railway
system to the city. county. State and
United States government for 1914
amounted to $4,000. which equals
nearly s1s per cent. of the gross pas
senger earnings.
IEasmuch as the Harrisburg Rail
ways Company is a local corporation
end pays in aggregate salaries and
wages per annunI almost $500, 900. the
situation which confronts the cor
poration at the present time is of more
than ordinary interest. 1t was pointed
out some time ago by one of the off,
cials that it has been the policy oil

city and the suburban communities il

less station. The instructions were
simple enough to be followed by any
high school boy with a mechanical
turn of mind. Thousands of boys are
now using stations built from these
directions.
Inspectors Issue Licenses
The responsibility for determining
the quality of the wireless instruments
used in these stations was given to the
Bureau of Standards The bureau pro-
yided a special division for the testing
of wireless instruments and the advis-
ing of prospective operators as to the
best materials. In thus standardizins
equipment the bureau divides the re-
sponsibility for the success of the anna
teur operator with the Bureau of Navi-
cation, which is responsible for his
qualifications. These are determined
by rigid examination.
Fifteen radio inspectors, located at
different custom offices, issue licenses
to amateurs after examining them and
testing their stations, Each of these
inspectors is furnished with an auto
matte sending machine, upon which
the ability of the applicant to transmit
messages is tested. Amateurs are of
two grades. The first have proved by
personal examination that they know
enough about wireless to comply with
the regulations of the International
dio-telegraph Conference and with
subsequent laws enacted in the United
States. They must be able to receive
and transmit messages in continental
Morse code at a speed of not less than
five words minute. five letters to a

NO WAR FOR POLITICS
From the New York Tribune

lFrom the New YORK Tribune.
The Tribune has at all times been
wiling to support a Democratic national
administration honestly and honorably
defending American rights. Its own
editorial columns are the best proof
of the readiness il has manifested to
drop every partisan consideration in
the case of Mr.. Wilson and the German
affair.
But The Tribune is not prepared to
support any administration, Republican
or Democratic, in provoking a wanton
and wicked war. wholly unnecessarily.
It was prepared to support policy
which, honestly executed, brought war
on the issue that neutral lives should
not be taken by German submarines. 1t
was willing to see this country fight
for the vindication of international law
and the ordinary rules of humanity.
But 1t is not now willing to see this
his administration have so bungled the
handling of the German affair and so
deserved the censure and contempt of
the country that they can find no es-
cape now but to go to war.
The Tribune views with intense sus-
piclon the reports coming from the
White House in the past two days in
sisting upon the gravity of the present
status of the German American differ
ence. They do not come from the
President directly. The Tribune knows
the circumstances of their origin, and
it believes il understands the purpose.
But it thinks that ii would be shame
full thing for this country to be in
Volved in a war to save the shattered
prestige of the adminjstration.

HERSHEY IN THE FALL
HERSHEY Press. I

We are beginning to have those
sparkling days that make autumn in
the Lebanon Valley a time of delight
and beauty. The air is full of the
wine of life. the heavens are glorious,
and the hills and fields become a
golden riot. Its fine to be alive and
able to enjoy it all. Surely the whole
world has nothing better.
When we see 1t and breathe it and
then behold our people engaged in
peaceful and profitable pursuits, their
happy homes, their fruitful acres, their
healthy children in modern schools
and all the blessings of the best in
civilization, it seems impossible to
realize that the other half of the world
is killing millions of men, reducing
millions of women and children to
want and hunger and demolishing bill
lions of wealth
Do the people in Lebanon Valley
really appreciate how fortunate they
are? And in Hershey. where all that
is best in Lebanon Valley is found, is
there the gratitude that should follow
gifts so rich and so generous?

MY, HOW THEY LEARN
BY Wing DInger

I started my two lads to school
This Fall. and every night
I help them with their lessons, so
They're sure to get them right.
But yesterday the older lad
His spelling list forgot
And when I asked for them last night
OF course. he had them not.
l told him that ii grieved me much
Because l greatly feared
He'd miss some words and lose his
chance
For first place which he's neared.
But he assured me that each word
He surely would get right
Regardless of the fact that he
Did not have them last night.
The younger chap had silent been
Till then, but when he spoke
His parents attitude quite stern
He most completely broke
With this speech. IF there is a word
That maybe you don't know
Just how to spell, reach in your desk
And slip it over, bo."

AMATEUR WIRELESS OPERA TORS
p. g. WETZA
By Frederic J. Haskin

TIME twenty thousand amateur
wireless operators scattered over
- the United States constitute a
resource for national defense which
has been almost entirely overlooked
Most of these operators are mere
schoolboys. but they are active. alert
and efficient. They have also exhibited
the highest sense of honor as regards
the secrecy of messages. In the
opinion of men competent to judge,
they might be safely trusted with i'm
portant communications.
An important factor in the German
success is the efficiency of the operators
in the network of wireless stations
which covers the entire domain. They
render the control of her aviation
fleets comparatively simple.
Manning the boundary stations alone
of this country would require most Of
our trained wireless operators If the
United States were drawn into war
There would be no provision for in
terror communication. In such an
emergency the great army of young
amateur operators who might be en-
listed in their country's service would
be invaluable.
The European countries have re-
stricted, if not absolutely prohibited,
amateur wireless stations for years.
Uncle Sans more liberal policy of aid
ing his children to acquire knowledge
and letting them do as they please
SO long as it does not interfere with
the public good may prove the wiser
course.
Uncle Sam has not merely permitted
his sons to have wireless stations; he
has helped to build them and given in
structionS as TO their use. Nearly two
years ago the naval observatory is
sued an illustrated circular showing

ment. but that the gradual reduction
of revenues was likely to result in an
enforced change of policy. At the
present time Paxtang. Penbrook and
other communities are urging highway
improvements. the major burden of
which would fall upon the street rail-
way system. 1t is the opinion of those
who are familiar with the conditions
that not enough thought is given by
the public generally to the real benefits
OF such public utility and that there
is too-prevalent disposition to criti-
else instead OF commend the enterprise
of these companies.
There has been an unmistakable
tendency for several years in the direc-
tion of general batting of the railroads
and other corporations. but there are
signs now of a change in this respect.
Much of the criticism undoubtedly was
the result of the arbitrary and indif-
ferent attitude of the corporations
themselves. But there has come a
change of front along the whole line.
due to the fact that the corporations
and the public are beginning to under
stand that there is a mutual interest
which should be subserved by reason
able regulations and the best service
on one side and n proper appreciation
and patronage on the other.

ordinance which will regulate all
traffic on the river, including fats.
