THE HARRISBURG CHILDREN
Their Parade Suggested to One Specta-
tor the Picture of Devastated
Homes in BeIgIum


T. II. j., of Harrisburg, writing to
the Philadelphia Public Ledger. says:
"Sir: On a summer morning quite re-
Gently while on my way to business 1
heard the stirring strains of a band
II recalled to my mind this was one of
the days set apart to commemorate GER
tain important events in the history Of
which was waiting to see a procession
of school children pass, 1000, repre-
Senting the public schools of the city.
AS / stood on the pavement among the
hundreds of other spectators, watching
this wonderful procession go by, line
after line (almost endless) of bright
little figures. al In white with eolored

"They marched like little veterans;
the people cheered, but they marched

IL they realized that this was no ordi
nary occasion and day in their lives
thought what noble heritage America
has in her army of children. There is
wide globe where the life of the little
child is so tenderly cared for as in
America.
sea, a land prosperous and content, a
land where peace and happiness have
reigned for years, where the famiiy
and the love of the family are as strong
as with us, where the domestic virtue
shone with true lustre--a land of pic
turesQue villages and beautiful cities
where art and learning had their home
a country at peace, its safety assured
by the promise and treaty of it's friends
But without warning or mercy, a de-
vastating and cruel lord of invaders
swept down on these defenseless peo-
pie. Burning. pillaging, outrages and

were slaughtered with their little chill
dren,, fathers and brothers. by attempt
ing to defend them were ruthlessly
slain. The pent-up passions of forty
years were let loose on these helpless
victims The world knows now that
these things are not visionary but are
established facts, and will go down
from generation TO generation to the
everlasting condemnation of Germany
while our country has come for
ward with generous gifts for the desti-
tute and wounded and has not failed
to show her sympathy for the oppress-
ed people. while many noble women
and self-sacrificing men have devoted
their time and means to relieving the
sufferings of the victims of this ter
rfb1e war. think we will all say that
our country failed at the crucial mo-
ment to raise its voice in protest
against the. slaughter of the innocents
in Belgium"

PROSPERITY IS sPRIsADiNG

Though a full measure of recovery is
not yet apparent in every branch of do
mestic enterprise, evidences of return
throughout the commercial world. OF
late. the constructive movement has
swung forward with a rapidity seldom
equalled. and In some, respects recent
developments are wholly lacking in
precedent. Pronounced expansion in
the volume of transactions and a
further growth of optimistic sentiment
featured the month just ended, when
several new high records, including
those of both production and distribu-
ton, were established During October,
for the first time in the history of the
country. output of pig iron reached
5000, 600 tons; export trade, due largely
of unattached proportions; gold i'm
ports were of unparalleled size; bank
clearings touched figures never before
attained, while number of standard
prices of the year; Moreover, latest
railroad returns show a remarkable
enhancement of the earning power of
the common carriers. with some lead
reporting maximum revenues, and the
broadening scale of buildinR opera
tions, so noticeable in September, was
fully maintained last month. Important
and. gratifying as these and other
nilicance and encouragement is the
fact that the business boom is becom-
ing nation-w wide, instead of being con-
fined to comparatively few lines di-
rectly stimulated by the. war. While
the situation abroad furnished the mo-
tive power that started the wheels of
progress. it is the exceptional strength
of the economic structure, as repre-
sented in part by the bountiful crops
and the sound banking position that
has made the advance to new goals

LET'S BE LIKE HER
By Wing DInger


l spent the weekend out of town,
And while I was away
I met again a dear old soul
Her hair long since turned gray.
And though her eyes are dimmed by
age
She's almost eighty-four-
She seems to see more sunshine now
Than in the days of yore
And other changes time has wrought
For instance, she can't hear
AS we'll as once she did
Back in that yesteryear.
She's feeble. too, and spends her time
In one room, day by day.
And yet. withal. from morn to night
She's happy, bright and gay.
I've entered that room many times
Sometimes when pain was there
And life's skies seemed o'errun with
clouds
But to her, all was fair.
And were / asked to single out
The throne room of sunshine
I'D choose the room in which there
This dear. old friend Of mine.
