WEATHER FORECASTS
FIGHTING FOR PEACE OR PIECES?

\ common assumption is that the nations are at
war in order to obtain permanent peace founded
upon a fair adjustment of national claims per-
tinent question is whether they most concerned
about bringing hostiities forever to a close, or
about gaining slices of opponents territories in the
process of the adjustment they seek
The cry from wielders of the pen among the bel
ligerents of late is that the nations intent
upon fighting for lasting peace that they have no
concern for territorial expansion. Professor Will
helm Ostwad. German scientist declares in the
current number of The Independent that lit is
only for the sake of peace that the war is being
fought and the peace will be the more enduring
and the more secure the greater the sacrifices of
this terrible catastrophe.
Singing the same tune, Yves Guyot, former
French Minister of Public Works, asserts in the
North American Review that England, France
and Russia have gone to for no other reason
than Ito obtain lasting peace for themselves and
Europe
The German and the Frenchman agree delight
fully the purpose of the conflict and their only
little point of difference seems to be concerning
which side shall dictate the terms of the mady
desired peace. The former assumes that Germany
will be victorious and thinks that the Kaiser would
Ter works on the theory that the Allies will win
and believes that they would find little difficulty in
insuring peace merely by breaking up the German
Empire into its constituent states thus destroying
Prussian dominance and deprivng the Kaiser of
his power.
NJ. Guyot scorns the idea that the Allies should
wish to enrich themselves territorially as a conse
quence of the war. He says that although France
will recover Alsace-Lorrane and Russia will prob
ably get Constantinople, there will be other i'm
portant acquisitions Belgium will not take piece of
Prussia gift he assures u.s. since the Ger
population thus acquired would destroy its
nationality: Russia will not get Germany's and
Austria's Polish provinces, since these will be
granted autonomy, and none of the Allies will
bother about taking any German colonial pos
sessions inasmuch they of insignificant value
in his opinion.
If the contesting nations really are not seeking
pieces of one another. but peace for ALL we must
hope that their will be success.

NATIONAL ACADEMY NOT NEEDED

The suggested incorporation of National Acad-
emy of Arts and Sciences opposed in Congress,
despite President Wilson's approval of the project,
on the ground that it was plot to create in this
country Intellectual aristocracy. body of
selected men of letters painters and scientists in
the United States, patterned after the academies of
European countries, might or might not form an
aristocracy, yet the country probably get along
just as well without an ornamental organization
of that sort.
When the National Institute of Arts and Letters
several years ago announced a list of forty Amer
lean Immortals' there was not little poking of
fun, and it not quite made clear at the time why
the designating of forty particular names for i'm
mortality was deemed necessary. The list of names
The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1915-02-23

has been apty called the first roster of absurd
Yankee imitation of the French Academy"
The suggestion has been facetiously made that
an Academy of Arts and Sciences in this country
might be all right if each Congressman were to
nominate member, thus having every state in
the Union represented in the enrolment on the
basis of population. Such apportonment might
at least have an advantage over the election of
members by the Academy itself, for if there would
be any contests selections they would most
likely be based the political leanngs rather than
on the professional merits of the aspirants, which
would of course simplify matters.
The election of Fellows to an American Academy
solely the basis OF, their achievements in arts and
sciences would be no easy thing. Contemporary
of letters might perhaps be selected for honors
whose books have had the biggest sales yet just the
other day hard-hearted publisher came along with
statement that best sellers are best sellers not be-
cause they are especially well written but because
they are especially well advertised, and it may be
that he is right.
An Incorporated organization of limited num-
Der of men, matter how carefully selected for
proposed immortality, would hardly be of much
account in this country anyway. There would no
doubt be included in the membership scholars and
Investigators whom the general public never knew
anything about and never will, while there would
probably be omitted many names of novestS and
short story writers which very familiar ones in
American homes where current magazines and
books are read.

An Old Larch Tree

Italy can boast of a lareh tree the
ace of which is estimated to be 1000
years. 1t is situated on the northern
flank of Mont Chetip in the direction
of the huts of Plan Veni, above Cour-
mayeur, few steps from the footpath
that skirts the limits of the meadow
land. Due allowance being made for
the extreme slowness with which the
lareh grows. for the altitude above sea
level q $50 meters) at which it is root
ed and for its northerly exposure in
the near neighborhood of the glacier,
where the cycle of it's development is
barely five months. every year, this
venerable larch, untouched alike by

be less than 1900 years old.--Seots-

Old Samaria has vanished from the

Jew whose great heart could discern
real brotherly love whether in Jew or
Gentle, the term Good Samaritan en-
dures and will endure as an epithet de-
scribing the man who practices true
Christian charity. The Good Samaritans
who every day and everywhere cheer
fully turn aside to help brother in
need, then pass quietly on their way,
expecting no recognition or reward
their name is legion. Here is n bit of a
story, a very plain little story; but it
has at least the merit of being true.
The hero is an old white haired man
who loves the poor; who has spent his
life in trying to serve them; who knows
them as few others do, being familiar
with their family histories, in some
eases through several generations, know
ing we'll the pathos and the comedy of
their hard lives.

NEED OF ooNsCRIPTIoN IN BRITAIN

DR.. John c. Simpson, of Washington, d. c., for
eighteen years associated nerve specialist with
the government hospital for the insane in George
town, d. c., Harrisburg visitor yesterday
and had some very interesting things to relate re-
garding the way news of the declaration of with
Germany received in London last July and
also concerning subsequent events in the British
capital DR.. Simpson was one of the few Americans
who were privileged to observe at first hand and
through intimate association with the British people
the effect of the declaration of their minds
having lived with and moved among them in Lon
don from the middle of last July until last October
when he sailed for home
One of the things that impressed DR.. Simpson
most is what he regards as the need of conscrip-
tion law in Great Britain. He said that one ev
denee of the lack of compulsory military law there
is the fact that great numbers of able-bodied men,
who live more by their wits than by honest toll are
remaining at home in certain sections of London
while the middle class workers and the arstocrats
are the ones who are enlisting. Among the stay
at-homes chiefly men who reside in those parts
of the city that noted for crime and lawlessness
-men who well qualified by instinct and nature
to fight, but who are not prompted by patriotic
motives to volunteer to their country at the
front. This condition results in the burden of the
fighting falling on the shoulders of the more useful
types of men,-the workers and the wage-earners
who have more patriotic impulses which impe
them to enlist for the country's good without being
compelled to do so.
One result of this condition is that the best men
of England are giving their lives in the trenches
while the gamblers, petty crooks and drones are
remaining at home in idleness In the ranks of the
soldiers who marched through London on the way
to the front Dr. Simpson saw for the most part
earnest, determined men,-men going to war for
the principles involved. While they, of course,
make the finest type of soldiers system whereby
country is stripped first of such useful citizens in
time of war is obviously misfortune
Thus it can be seen that the lack of compul-
sorry military service law in Great Britain is dis
advantage to that nation not alone for the reason
that it deprives the country of trained reserve
force that could be drawn at the will of the gov
ernment as in countries that have conscripton laws
1t, perhaps, places far greater handicap on Great
Britain for the fact that it takes out of the country
its best cizens-those who in time of peace are the
workers, the producers, the supporters of the fam
nleS,-and leaves the drones and parasites who con-
sumo rather than conserve and develop the nation S
material resources.

bling over the absence of his favorite
native dishes the eounty's guest fatty
refused to remain there and insisted
upon returning to the city streets. Back

augmented to four by the addition of
the feeble-mindei girl, and the visitors
entered upon the enjoyment of the
evening of their lives. Through the
marble halls of the Capitol strobe the
white haired Samaritan, followed by
his amazed and delighted comrades.

Immediately they were marshaled to
a lunch room where their wants were
supplied. Next followed an inspection
of the principal city streets. How
ever, this could not be protracted so as
to consume all the interval till train

ing eyes toward the various bars along
the route. What was to be donei En-.
boldened by the emergency, our strate
gist took a daring resolution: "The

mitted no delay. To the picture show

Substitutes Ginger Ale

In the first place our hero is tee
totaler of the first water, and could not
endure the thought of giving the man
his way. In the next place, he felt it
would be a disgrace to Dauphin county
not to see to it that the stranger com
mitted to its charge by another county
remained sober while its guest. He
acted promptly. Spying soda foun-
tain, he conducted thither his thirsty
proteges, and so piled them with ginger
ale that no capacity remained for
stronger drink. While they were re.
yelling in the glass that "cheers but
not inebriates," their guide reflected
that FIVE hours must elapse before they
could leave the city. Left to their own
devices, it was a great deal more than
probable that they would come to grief
long before the expiration of the in.
terval. BY the time they were ready
to "ery quits to the ginger ale, our
hero had made up his mind to enlist for
the entire period and not to let them
out of his sight.

Case of an Unfortunate Girl

In a distant county, young girl,
Predetermined and unfortunate, left her
home and wandering aimlessly about,
at last strayei to Harrisburg. Here
she was cared for at the almshouse,
pending arrangements with her home
county for her return. Last week her
father and sister arrived in this city
to reclaim her and were directed to the
county office. They were rather
grotesque pair, lacking many things
commonly deemed essential to the mod
ern toilet-nota5ly, soap and combs,
or else the disposition to use them.
Their language, their manners, as we'll
