clinics, yet these things cannot be
done except through law, and laws
wait on the command of voters.
Is IL the business of men or is it
the business of women? Man is work
ing today as never before, for the
ferocities of the competitive struggle
keep his nose to the grindstone. He
casts his ballot for the things that
are of interest to him and of advan-
tage to his business. IF women are
to look after children, they must have
the vote in order to cast it for the
things Of interest to them, and of ad-
vantage to their business.
Play is an important part of child
life. In cities, yards are a luxury
to be enjoyed only by the few. Play
grounds for the many must be pro-
vided by the city. Commercialized
amusement is full of dangers for lit
tie ones, and the need of the day is
| adequate public supervision of the
skating Kinks, dance halls, moving pic
ture shows, parks, ETC., that cater to
the pleasures of children.
is this mans work or the woman's !?
Is the father to assume responsibility
for the children at every turn, letting
the mother go free of all duties and
obligations
1t is not question of what ought
to be, but what's. The whole struc-
ture of the American home has
changed in the past fifty years. The
state is an ver-parent, and unless the
state is guided by the ballots of those
most interested in children, the child
is going to suffer.
1t is not that men are unwilling to
do the right things, but simply that
they do not know what the right
things are. Until women take the
ballot, and get back on their ancient
| job of looking after the home and the
child, babies will continue to die from
the states neglect, and boys and girl:
will be cheated of their fair chance
for a stronG happy, intelligent ma.
turity.

London Papers Praise
Presidents Address

London, May 12.-Most Of the morn
ing papers fail to comment editorially
on President Wilson's Philadelphia
speech. The Standard. however. praises
the address and saws the President
has shown during these trying weeks
of German insults a moral courage of
the highest order"
1T is rather satisfactory" the Stand
ard continues. Ito note the calm and
pacific tone of President Wilson'S first
public utterance since the disaster. for
no interest of ours would be served by
Americas entrance into the war, and
such a development might in many
ways inure to the enemy's advantage .
The Express offers its opinion that
the speech was too idealistic and adds:
we understand. of course, that to
turn the other cheek requires exalted
courage. but it is unfortunate such a
course is absolutely certain TO lead to
more suffering. Germany has taken
the world back to the fourteenth cen
tury; President Wilson is eager to drag
US before our time into the twenty
second. Nobody in this country. how
ever. has any desire that the United
States be involved in this war unless
impelled by its own pride
The Mail prints a column of inter
views with prominent Americans in
London, all expressing disappointment
that the Presidents Philadelphia ad-
dress did not include a forceful de-
nunciation of Germanys action.

Senator Sproul, of Delaware county
to-day introduced in the Senate a joint
resolution providing for again submit
ting to the people of the State the
question of making a loan of fifty mill
lion dollars for the improvement of

gin in the popular vote in 1913 after
a noteworthy campaign.
Senator Sprouts resolution provides
that the election upon the question be
held on the regular election day in
November of the year 1918. The con-
stitution of Pennsylvania provides that
amendments shall not be resubmitted
to the people oftener than once in five
years.
The leaders of the Legislature. Gov
ernor Brumbaugh and Attorney Cen
eral Brown are in favor of the reso-
luton.
The resolution was read for the first
time to-day. 1t will be rushed through
before final adjournment next week.

Attacks T. R. For Calling
Disaster Act of Piracy

Berlin. via London, May 12.-The
attention of Baron Mumm Won
Schwarzenstein. who. after long years
of diplomatic service, is now occupying
high position in the German foreign
office. has been called to the sharp
criticisms of Germany in the American
press in connection with the sinking of
the Lusitania, the words attributed to
ex-President Roosevelt that the sinkg
ing of the Lusitania was the greatest
act of piracy in history being especially
emphasized. The baron authorized the
following statement:
IF MIR. Roosevelt used these words,
then he hurled an insult at the whole
German people which we bitterly re-
sent, even at a time when we have to
submit TO the hatred and faIsity of
enemies and former friends. He in
suited. without excuse, men who. fear
less of death. discharged their duty to
the fatherland in the hour of need.
WITHOUT HOPE OF BOOTY
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-05-12

London, May 12.-Viscount Bryce,
former British Ambassador at Wash
ington, and now chairman of a special
government committee appointed to
investigate and report on "outrages al
legged to have been committed by Ger
man troops during the present war;"
has submitted the report of the COM
mittee to Premier Asquith.
The document is considered as
probably the most severe arraignment
thus far made of the German military
sweep across Belgium, mainly because
of the position of Niscount Bryce as n
historian, and also because of the care
with which the investigation was
made. the great number OF witnesses
whose testimony was examined. and
the mass of evidence now submitted
with the report of the committee.
Associated with Lord Bryce on the
committee were Sir Frederick Pollock
Sir Edward Clarke, Sir Alfred Hopkin-
son. H. A. L. Fisher, vice chancellor
of the University of Sheffield. Harold
Cox, and Kenelm e. Digby. The
committee was appointed by Premier
Asquith on January %. last, and was

PROHIBITION COLORS
WORN by BARTENDERS
Vigorous Opposition Is Voiced at
Sessions of Penna. Federation
of Labor Convention

White ribbon badges worn by dele
gates to the Pennsylvania Federation
of Labor convention. were scored by
Edward McElroy, of Philadelphia, to-
day. McElroy represents Bartenders'
Union, No. lis. In open convention
he called attention to the fact that
white ribbons are the colors of the
Prohibition party.
The delegate from Philadelphia
took the floor after Joseph Provestle.
of Cincinnati, general secretary of the
International Brewery Workers
Union, had made an address.
I'VE are against prohibition" he
said. I'VE should discard white
badges. Wearing these white ribbons
and talking against prohibition, is like
shaking red flag in front of bull
1t appears to me the badge committee
could have adopted some other color"
The objections raised by Delegate
McElroy were placed on the minutes
Following the remarks of the Phila-
delphia representative some delegates
removed the white ribbons from their
badges. Others substituted red rose
buds.

The course of the President has

Await Reply From Berlin
This was taken to mean that the
American government. observing the
usual diplomatic amenities. would
await the receipt of the communica-
tion in Berlin before making it pub
lie. At first there was some sugges-
ton that the communication be sent
personally by the President TO En-
peror William. but Mr.. Wilson deter
mined that 1t should be addressed not
to an individual but to the German gov
ernment and through It to the German
people.
\, AS for reparation. the United
Mates naturally will seek financial
but its protest now is in
the name of international law and
humanity to obtain q guarantee that
such tragedies will not be repeated
and lives of noncombatents sacrificed.
While high officials and cabinet off,
GERS were reticent to discuss its con-
tents. it was agreed that the note
Noiced the intense feelng or the Onlted
States over the occurrences in the war
zone and wanted an explanation of

would not be repeated.

steamer Cushing, the torpedoing of
