DELIGHTS OF CAMEL RIDING

It was my first experience of camel
riding. and therefore interesting. If not
altogether charming. The saddles used
in this country are formed of large
pads. m in front and one behind the
hump. The driver climbs into place in
front. with a huge peaked pad to keep
him from falling off when the camel
rises. Then the passenger mounts be-
hind the hump, and the camel is with
difficulty persuaded to rise. This he
Toes headquarters first, and the pas
senger finds himself thrust I'D in mid
air as IL on a tower. The huge pad
offers no possible support and he can
scarcely overcome his desire to pre-
vent a fall by putting his feet on the
drivers shoulders. That worthy. how
soon comes up to Join him, and
the expedition starts. The first SEN
sation is of being astride a table, and
as the miles go by the table increases
aiarmingly in width. and the tyre on
the back seat begins to despair OF ever
getting his legs acquainted again.

IFrom the American Machinist.l
A French engineer reports that he
has seen carload after carload of rifles
going back from the fighting front in
France for repairs, and has said that it
is estimated that every soldier active
ly engaged will require ten rifles a
rear.
OF course, many of those returned
are repaired and sent back into SER
vice. Records from the maneuvers of
some of our State militia show a loss
of 10 per cent. of the rifles issued dur
Ing a 10 or 12-day encampment. If the
loss is as great as his in a few days of
training. what must it be in weeks of
active fighting?
Turning to shells for the larger
guns, 1t is said that the French fired
10000 75-millimeter shells in the bat
tie of the Marine. Their 75-millimeter
guns can shoot sixteen shells per
minute, and there are guns which have
records of having shot two thousand
shells in a single day. At the first of
this year the French government was
just completing its equipment to pro-
duce two hundred thousand explosive
shells a day. A plant now under con-
struction in Paris is to have a capacity
of fifteen thousand 75-millimeter
shrapnel shells a day. At the rate
mentioned, eight of the French rs
millimeter guns could fire all the shells
produced by a factory employing say
four thousand to five thousand men.

LETTERST0THE.ENT0R
CONDEMNS SUNDAY EXCURSIONS

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
The citizens of Harrisburg and vi
cinity, together with the police force,
have made every effort to clean Har-
risburg of its vice, and there can be no
doubt in the minds of all concerned
that this has done a great deal for our
city and the welfare of its people. We
must say hat Harrisburg is a better
city to-day that 1t was five or more
years ago.. There is now a movement
on foot that will last practically all
summer, which will bring to our city
many strange people, and, worst of all,
they will come here on the Sabbath
day. / speak of the Sunday excur-
sion.
There is no doubt in my mind but
that this will go a great way toward
stimulating such evil doings as have
just been stamped out. 1 am sure that
we all feel proud of our city and
would like to have our eighbors call to
see us but not on the Sabbath, as all
we~ll-regulated cities and God-fearing
people have set aside this day for rest
and worship.
BY bringing all classes Of people into
our city I fear hat 1t would soon drift
into a deplorable condition. 1t has
often been said hat the welfare of
our country depends on the education
of its youth" and l believe that the
welfare of our city depends on the
education of it's youth. Sunday excur-
sions would not help along these lines.
Neither will it help our merchants
for their stores will not be open. 1t
will not help our churches for the
average person who goes on a Sunday
excursion does not go to church very
often, and especially not when away
from home. 1 have tried to view this
matter from both sides and 1 cannot
see that Sunday excursions will do
Harrisburg any good. ....
Sincerely yours,
H. d. SoLLENBERGER,

goods sold to them find their way to
German buyers.
1t is not alone in munitions OF war
and foodstuffs that America has found
enormous demand in Europe. A Provt-
.dence. r. l., concern ships hundreds OF
thousands of pairs OF shoe laces each
week to England. and a Philadelphia
factory filled an emergency call for
10000, 900 needles in one lot to Liver
pool. Drugs. chemicals and hospital
supplies add very materially to the de-
mand. Automobile exports in Feb
ruary, 1918. aggregated S4,s07,S12 in
value, as compared with $2.46l.955 in
the same month in 1914, an increase
of more than 80 per cent.
All this not only creates a market for
American products. but provides busi-
ness for steamship companies thai
necessarily do part of their own buy
ing in this country. The French Line
alone has within the past three weeks
placed under charter thirty-seven
steamers to be utilized mainly for the
transportation of war freight from the
Atlantic seaboard to Europe.
But even all these orders for Ameri-
can products are not sufficient to keep
up the price of some commodities IN
der competition with products given
free entry under the Democratic tariff
law. Last week corn declined about
l cent a bushel. largely on account of
prospects of larger shipments of corn
from Argentina.

PRESIDENT AND MEXICO

DRESIDENT WILSON has shifted
his policy with respect to Mexico
so frequently that 1t IS difficult
for the people to follow him. Upon
taking office he Immediately declared
against Huerta, the recognized head
of the only government below the
Rio Grande, and at once raised our
embargo on arms at the Texas border
for the benefit OF a faction. Later he
SEM troops to Vera Cruz, a sort of
marching up hill and then marching
down again. Still later he made a
speech in which he declared sit was
none of his business" how long the
Mexicans take in choosing their gov
eminent; that the country is theirs
and the government is theirs; that the
country, which we could crush, shall
have just as much freedom in her
own affairs as we have" And finally
he sends an official notice to the Mex
leans to get together and set up a gov
eminent or suffer the consequences
of Intervention by the United States.
Some times it is hard to stand by
a President who doesn't stay put long
enough for the people to know where
he stands. With Bryan put Of the
Cabinet, our national policies may be
more definitely stated and adhered to.
