GENIUS WASTED ON THE FIRING LINES

Among the soldiers ON the firing lines, we are
told, many artists, poets dramatists and novel
lists Unfeeling persons who have no love for art
in any forms may be of the opinion that the firing
line is as good place as any for such men. Even
sympathetic ones may find consolation by trying to
make themselves believe that the experiences
through which the artists and men of letters will
pass during the war will enable the geniuses to pro-
duce superior works in the future.
The latter assumption, however, is bad one No
matter how much inspiration gifted French novel
ist for instance may be getting from service in the
trenches, and no matter how many wonderful plots
for thrilling tales he may be storing up in his head
awaiting expression, all that inspiration and all
those plots may be lost to the world forever if that
gifted French novelist happens to in contact
with released German ammunition.
1t is inevitable, perhaps, that in great
spf letters should be sacrificed in common with less
distinguished men and the world deprived of what
might be lasting literature Men of literary genius
serving as ordinary soldiers sand few of them
know enough of military tactics to officers,

WHY AUTO SHOWS DRAW CROWDS

The presence of two automobile shows running
at the time in this city, both attracting large
crowds of the substantial sort Of people who
template buying machines or who, already in the
possession of them, in quest Of new devices or
accessories, bears convincing evidence to the impor
tant place the motordriven vehicle fills in this COM
munity and in the surrounding territory which is
served by Harrisburg as distributing center.
The auto is beyond the experimental stage In
fact it long ago had reached that point in its devel
opment where its permanence assured both
source of pleasure for tourists and for CONNER
cial uses. ....,....
Moreover, the auto has gone beyond the fad
stage. The bicycle, it will be remembered was
sort of fad that fourished for few years and
hen to large extent, disappeared. Of course the
bicycle continues to-day very useful means of
travel, but it inevitable that its abnormal pop
ularity of number of years ago. when the country
bicycle crazy, was destined not to be lasting
But no such thing be said of the automobile.
1t may have been true for time that persons
bought autos for pleasure and the novelty of the
thing than for actually useful purposes, but with
the more recent development of the auto hundreds
of ways that it can be put to practical uses have
suggested themselves. 1t soon became apparent
that should the fad of owning an auto for pur
poses purely OF pleasure ever die out there are
many other ways in which it has become an actual
necessity in the business and commercial life of
the world that there is possibility of the auto
ever being relegated to the discard.
Indeed new possibilities for driven vehicles
suggesting themselves daily and that largely is
the reason why Harrisburg has two we'll attended
automobile shows this week. few years ago this
would have been impossible but to-day the auto
enters essentially into activities of almost every
sort that there is scarcely any kind of business man
who does not have sort of interest in some sort
of motor driven machine.
That is why the crowds this week are making
their ways to the Arena and to Kelkar Street hall

tional loan, the Withdrawals again ex-
ceeded deposits by some $90,000,O00,
but the reduction of deposits during the
second half Of the year was altogether
only about $2s,00O,000; and if the
interest credited to depositors at the
end of the year be taken into account,
their holdings for the half-year actual
ly increased by almost $50,0OO.000.
For the entire year the increase was
over $200,000,O00. A considerable
number of savings banks have already
issued their annual reports for 1914,
and not one of them shows q reduction
in deposits. Since the beginning of the
new year a considerable improvement
in the business of the banks has been
observed. From various parts of the
country it is reported that deposits
have been heavier than ever before
People apparently are laying by money
to subscribe for the next big war loan,
which will be brought out soon.

IL Bills Have Reached Governor

The present Legislature began its
sessions on Tuesday, January 5. Two
weeks later the legislative committees
were announced and the legislative
mill began to grind, but up to the pres
ent time there has not been very much
grinding done. The records show that
to date but fourteen bills have reached
the Governor, seven of which have
been approved and seven are yet to be
acted upon. Of those approved, one
was the deficiency appropriation bill,
and number of items in that measure
were either pared down or else vetoed
outright. AS yet the Governor has not
been called upon to write real veto
message. Five resolutions have reach
ed the Governor, three of which were
approved and one vetoed, and one yet
remains in his possession awaiting ac-
tion. In both houses there are about
eight hundred bills. in committees, Of
all kinds and sorts, awaiting action,
and hundreds of more bills are expect
ed. Many of the bills introduced will
receive no consideration at the hands
of the committees and many will be
reported negatively.

Exchange of Wounded Prisoners

The first consignment of disabled
German prisoners to be exchanged for
English wounded, included two officers
and 50 men. To spare the feelings of
the broken warriors, the arrangements
for their departure from England we're
kept secret, and only handful of spec
tators saw them as they left the Vic
toria Station, London, or as they en-
barked few hours later from Folkes-
tone for Flushing, Holland. The men
were gathered from all parts of Eng
land. Most of them had an arm or
leg missing. Every man had to be
carried on stretcher and British sur
geons had carefully certified that none
of them would ever be able to fight
again. From London ts Folkestone
they travelled in a special Red Cross
ambulance train, which was strictly
guarded and had every blind drawn.
The patients were in charge of five
doctors and 25 Red Cross orderlies and
nurses under command of Lord Onslow.

LEAVING A WARNING BEHIND HIM

man hanged himself yesterday in a room of a
Philadelphia hotel His action itself was not espe-
cally startling since suicides of that sort are not
uncommon. He was but one more recruit to the
vast army of unfortunates who at certain periods
in their lives have nothing to look back but
criminal pass, nothing to look forward to but sim
liar futures and nothing to depend upon to escape
for either, except death.
The man who yesterday dealt with his own
crimes by taking upon himself the combined re-
sponsibilities of arcuser, jury, judge and execu-
TONER left behind him. contrary to the usual habits
of wrongdoers, rather complete accounts of tho
events of his miserable life. Persons who commit
suicide often leave brief notes in explanation of the
circumstances leading to their deaths, but seldom do
they take pains, before gulping the poison pulling
the trigger inhaing the gas adjusting the noose
to write out all the startling details of their lives
matters of public record. Most Of their secrets,
and sometimes even the ones which lay back of
their self-inflicted deaths, are buried with them.
They leave the world that their past actions may be
forever hidden rather than that these deeds may be
revealed in full as soon as their lifeless bodies are
discovered
The man who yesterday died by his own hand,
after narrating his various experiences crimi-
nal told in his notes how he had attempted to hang
himself several years ago but had to seize the rope
and save himself because of the torture An ac-
count like that of unsuccessful attempt at suicide
is about as unusual as is comprehensive auto
biography of desperate criminal.
1t is hard to understand why man should want
to leave to posterity posthumous narrative of an
evil life The man who committed suicide yester-
day in Philadelphia wrote that his notes might be
of value to clergyman 70 prepare sermon. He
probably meant that he was setting an example for
others not to follow. The example is sermon
