Of TIC Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Dear sir: ! see by a PHILADELPHIA
paper that Congressman Lafean is
making an effort to have a State
highway constructed between York
and Dillsburg, so as to divert the BUSH
ness of upper York county to York.
because for many years Harrisburg
has been getting the bulk of the bust
ness in upper York county"
Should not this rouse Harrisburg
businessmen, and Dauphin county, as
we'll as Steelton, Highspire and Mid
dletown, to do something so as to
get more instead of less trade. A State
bridge from Goldsboro to MiddIetown
would solve the problem. Such a high
way, which would not cost possibly as
much as some roads hat are being
built where roads already exist, would
bring to the stores of Harrisburg and
all the towns on this side the Susque-
hanna many customers. 1t would
make Harrisburg accessible for the
farmers, and produce would be made
cheaper. 1t would liven up the BUSH
ness situation and make lots of traffic.
As III situation now is. the long circle
made by the Susquehanna river and
the stretch of high mountain makes
an almost insurmountable barricdde.

upper York county and Harrisburg

THE FULL CREW REPEATER

TN consideration of the bill to repeal
the full crew act now in his hands,
Governor Brumbaugh is confronted
by arguments for and against which
will doubtless have his best thought.
The fundamental question is not the
pleasing Of one side or the other.
What the Governor must determine,
free of all other considerations. is
whether the Full Crew law is neces-
sary TO the proper handling of trains
and whether its repeal will involve
danger to the public or decreased
safety in the operation of the railroad
lines in Pennsylvania. Both sides are
insistent and each will urge that the
other is In error.
Railroad officials and others declare
that the law is a hardship and bur-
'densome to the railroad companies:
railroad employees as vigorously main
tain that the provisions Of the law are
necessary to the proper handling of
the trains. Governor Brumbaugh
must exercise his best judgment and
determine which side is right.

ME- latest exhibition Of Ger

TIME latest exhibition of German
"frightfulness'' in waging war
puts the American people to the
test. Are We sane enough, strong
enough to look the situation calmly in
the face and highly resolve to safe
guard the civilization of which we
have become almost the sole trustees.
or shall we give way to the passion
which the German outrage has pro-
voked and join in the madness which
has all but wrecked that civilization?
There can be only one answer to that
question. We shall not go to war over
the destruction of the Lusitania with
all its precious freight of human life,
not to avenge the slaughter of our
fellow citizens, not to vindicate neu
trail rights, not ever to save the sacred
body of international law which is
daily being outraged. We shall not
the civilization which we have,
through half a century of peaceful
striving, aided in building up.
And this is not because we see any
justification for the act in question.
There is no warrant for it either in
International law or in the practice
of civilized nations. If, as the Ger
man Government asserts was the case,
the Lusitania had been in fact a con-

barbarism. would have had a tech
nical justification in international law.
Even neutrals may lawfully be re-
quired to accept the consequences of
travelling in a ship of war.
But the Lusitania was not q ship
OF war, but a peaceful merchant YES
sci, and the utmost risk, which, under
the rules of international law. her
passengers assumed was the danger
of having their voyage interrupted in
case h should be taken as a prize.
The ship was, indeed, liable to capture
and probably to destruction, but the
crew and passengers, being nom
belligerents. were clearly entitled to
be taken off in safety.
On this point there can be no hon
est difference of opinion. The rule that
before a prize is burnt or sunk the
captor is bound to provide for the
safety of all persons on board" is as
serted by all authorities on interna-
tional law and this has been the In
variable practice of all civilized ma
tons in modern times. Nor can it
make any difference hat the ship was
conveying c~ontraband of war. What

or destruction, and the per-
sons on board. whether enemy sub
jects or neutrals, were immune from
capture or destruction.
But, say the German apoIogists.
Great Britain is making war on the
innocent population of Germany by
her blockade, p war of starvation. and
the imperial government is merely re-
taliating by making war as best it can
on the English people. Even if we
should admit this argument as a
for repudiating the settled
principles of International law as be-
tween the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. set

rWO IMPROVEMENTS IN ONE

VTTHILE City Commissioner Harry
wv F. Bowman's plan to lower the
city's two giant water mains to
a point beneath the bed of Paxton
creek at State street will mean an
additional improvement for Harris
burg's water supply system, the change
will serve another purpose: 1t will per-
nit the closing of an awkward gap in
the concrete basin. insuring an I'M
interrupted flow of drainage through
the great gutter-in other words, the
completion Of one more of the munich
pality's public improvements.
With the exception of a Compare
lively small section in the vicinity Of
the State street bridge. the Paxton
creek bed is now practically concerted
from one end of the city to the other.
Under the State street bridge the two
30-inch mains that carried the whole
city's supplAof water to and from the
Reservoir had beer exposed by the
excavations for the creek improve
ment. The pipes, in fact, swung in
the air some twenty inches from the
bottom of the stream. Just what
might happen should the big tubes
become broken or cracked by frost or
other causes is a matter of conjecture.
Now Mr.. Bowman proposes to lower
these mains to a safe distance below
the surface. or course this will cost
some money. but the w%orthiness of the
expenditure can be appreciated readily
when 1t is understood that the placing
of the necessary valves on the mains at
either side of the creek will mean an
Improvement of immense Importance

law to prevent further destruction of
this character.
One day this week, Immediately
after the slope had been nicely graded
and the planting thereon completed
by a force of park employees, an indi-
vidual deliberately threw over tine
slope several branches of a tree which
he had trimmed. This not only de-
stroyed the planting. but constituted
q serious breach of good citizenship.
ANY citizen who has the welfare of
the city at heart should be extremely
loath to do anything that will en-
courage mischievous tendencies of
this sort. 1t ought to be the pleasure
of everybody to assist the Department
of Parks in its splendid work instead
of d~iscouraging what has been under
taken for the benefit of the entire
population.
or course, the incident to which
attention has been called may have
been without the knowledge of the
owner of the property. and in that
case it would seem a prompt protest
by Commissioners Taylor would be all
that is necessary to prevent a recur-
renee of the onense. An arrest or
two of those deliberately responsible
for a continuance OF the dumping
operations in spite of protest may be
necessary to enforce the rules of the
department.
These are the parks of the people
and those who are Indifferent to their
care and protection must be made to
feel the strong hand of the munich
pality.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY Is
WHERE THEY STAND

a PPARENTLY there has been
"A some doubt in Europe as to
where f~oreign-born Americans
would stand in case of war between
the United States and any of the con-
tinental powers. German newspapers
have gone so far as 10 assert that
German-Americans would be found on
the side of the Fatherland in such a
struggle and there have been ridicu-
lous rumors in Berlin papers of civil
war in this country in case Germany
and America went to arms against
each other.
There has been no more staunch
supporter of Germany and German
policies anywhere than the New York
Staates-Zeitung. a journal OF unusual
strength and widely read by the Ger
man element in this country. When
II speaks it is as one with authority,
and yesterday it made itself clear on
the position COMMUNICATIONS take
with respect to the possibilities of war
with the imperial government:
Nor is this a time to burden mill
lions of the American people. with
unjust and unnecessary anguish OF
mind. The German-Americans must
suffer in any conflict between the
United States and Germany pains
of which their fellow citizens can
never know anything. 1t is rather
a time for showing them the great
est degree of consideration. They
fought to uphold the flag in the
past and they will do so again..
against any enemy whatsoever.
They deserve the fruits of past 10y
right to claim them. There has
never been but one flag under
which the Gsrman-American has
fought. There never can be but one
flag under which he will ever fight.
And that flag is the Stars and
Stripes.
That settles once and for all time
where the German-American stands.
The Staates-Zeitung said just what
the country expected it would say.
Nobody who has any knowledge of
the history of the United States from
it's very inception could have looked
for anything but the most patriotic
conduct on the part of German-Ameri-
cans. It is natural that they should
look back fondly to the place of their
birth. 1t is a tribute to their loyalty
and their low of country that this is
so. Nobody can complain that they
should prefer the cause of Germany
TO that of the Allies in the present
war.
But when it comes to a choice be-
tween the United States and Germany.
that is a horse of an entirely different
color. In the Revolution, the War
of 1912, the Mexican War and the
Civil War. Germans served the nation
with distinctive gallantry and brill
liancy and not a few of the men who
won undying fame in those conflicts
were either of German birth or ex-
traction. The same will doubtless be
written after every crisis the country
shall be called upon to face. The
German-American has no cause to be
ashamed of his past and he faces the
future bravely and periodically.
