A white hobo who was put on

shot al eleven times in close

by one bullet which merely
burned his hand as he was jump

race the man did all kinds of
stunts. The gang was working
on south IIayne street. The
man broke and ran and had got

of the guard he was ordered to
stop again. Instead he put his
hands on the fence to Jump over.
1t was then that the bullet grazed
his hand and he threw up his
hands and surrendered.
They started back to the gang
with him. When in the neigh

LoCkhart in the yard. He broke
straight for her as shield, and
for a time no one could shootfor

got ou: of the way they began 10

with pistol, rifle and shot gun.
One bullet from Captain FIetch-,

and killed one of MIR. Lockhart'S

hen out of the way and ran right

OTHER sTATEs OBSERVING

Y-IQUIRIES made at the Capitol by
Legislators and officials of other
! States about the manner of operat-
ing the State Legislative Reference
Bureau, the Banking Department, the
Department of Labor and Industry
the State Police Force, the Depart
ment of Health and other branches of
the government indicate that Pennsyl-
vania is attracting much attention by
the excellence of it's service and men
who have made inquiry for this State
in regard to workmen's compensation
have found the officials of other Com
monwealths very ready to furnish in
formation.
The questions about the organiza-
ton, financing and other details of
the State police are especially signi-
flcant. 1t is just ten years since the
legislature authorized the creation of
the force and inquiries made by New
York, Maryland. New Jersey, West
Virginia and Ohio, all of which ad-
join Pennsylvania, are indicative of
how the police are regarded. The in
terest of officials in Indiana, Mich-
gan and Massachusetts, is commentary
enough

GERMANY AND BELGIUM

1T is difficult to understand the atti-
tude of Germany toward Belgium.
I The Kaiser's army comes into the
country, knocks the towns to pieces
ruins the farms, opens the dikes and
in general spreads such devastation
that Il country which only six months
ago was a model of indefensive cult
vation and industrial activity is now
largely one vast waste place, unable to
maintain it's starving population.
Added to this Germany has laid tax
of $50, 100000 a year on the Belgian
nation. She has driven million Bel
gians from the country, and now, with
those who had the courage to remain
and face the doubtful benefits of Ger
man "Kultur" living on the charity of
the American people, the German gov
ernment gives notice that unless those
who have fled return by March 1 the
governor-general of Belgium will levy
on them an extraordinary tax equal to
ten times the amount of personal tax
paid by Belgian citizens in normal
times.
would give one the impression that
Germany is preparing for one of the
most disastrous retreats in history
when the Allies begin the offensive
movement that unquestionably will
drive the German forces at least as
far as the Rhine. 1t is to be no more
than expected that when this occurs
the Flemings and the Walloons, who
are not much different now from the
warriors that Caesar met when with
his Roman legions he invaded that
country, will take their guns from
their hiding places for a period of
bushwhacking warfare such as has not
been seen since the British regulars
began their historic retreat before the
farmers of Massachusetts following
the Battle of Concord.

JUST TWO BRAKENIEN

The other day, at Harris. Mo-, a long
freight train, made up Of ninety EIGHT
cars, was standing on Il side track
awaiting the arrival and departure of
two passenger trains, one from the
north and one from the south, which
were to meet at Harris. The train,
more than half-mile in length, was
unable to get in the clear, owing to
the shortage of the side track The
rear brakeman raced back down the
track to flag the north bound passen-
ger. The head brakeman rushed
ahead to flag the south bound one
There was no time for crossing cut
ting. Peoples lives depended upon
hasty action on the part of the made
quate train crew.
While the train was thus standing,

"O-MORROW,L Lincoln's birthday,
has been set aside as Self-sacri-
4 flee Day by the executive COM
mittee of the Home Relief Bu-
reau Emergency Aid Committee of
Philadelphia. On that day every per-
son able to do SO will be expected to
give generously for the relief of the
destitute of the Quaker City.
Conditions are not SO greatly differ
ent here but that Lincoln's birthday
might be celebrated in a similar man
ner in Harrisburg. 1t would be an eX-
cellent and highly appropriate means
of testifying to our love and apprecia-
ton of the great War President who
laid down his life for his country. The
need of charity here at this time is
greater than it has been in recent
years. We have given hundreds of
dollars to sustain the starving people
victims of other countries. This in
some measure has resulted in smaller
contributions than usual for our local
charities at a time when they need
every penny that can be raised.
Would it not be a fine thing if the
deficits thus created in treasures that
should be full to overflowing were to
be made up on this anniversary of the
birth of man whose whole life was
given for the benefit and uplift of his
fellowmen?
There is no time for the issue of a
special call for such contributions, but
every citizen has it within his power
to make tomorrow a Self-sacriflce
Day for himself and to see to it that
some of the pennies that ordinarily go
into the channels of self-indulgence
are given for the benefit of the poor,
the sick, the aged or the needy
orphans Of the city.

DESPICABLE TACTICS

"HE most regrettable incident in
the history of city council as
= at present constituted was en-
acted yesterday when the hopes
and pay envelopes of the unemployed
of Harrisburg were juggled to make
a holiday for our spotlight-seeking
mayor.
1t is beyond question the duty of
those in charge of municipal. affairs
to see that every man possible is given
work at time when industrial con-
ditions have forced thousands into
compulsory idleness. No fault can be
found with such a proposal as that
which Mayor Royal made. But the
mayor ought to have come forward
with some definite plan of action. He
ought to have considered that phase
of the matter before he broached it
to council. 1t is all very we'll to tell
his colleagues that they ought to en-
ploy more men, but at the same time
he ought to be willing to show them
where they are to get the money or to
shoulder responsibility for the in
creased cost that will be necessary if
contracts for public work are let un-
der force orders
The resolution passed by council
yesterday, while rather drastic in its
language. was both fair and justifiable
under the circumstances. The mayor
must be willing and able to devise q
plan for the employment of the idle
or he must stand convicted of know
ing that such q plan is not feasible
so long as hard winter weather pre-
walls and be ready to admit that he is
merely up to one of those numerous
political tricks by which he has been
endeavoring for more than a year to
bring credit to himself and at the
same time put his colleagues into an
unfavorable position before the public
If Mayor Royal comes forward with
a practical plan for the relief he pro-
poses he is worthy of all praise and
councilmen will be glad no doubt to
put it into immediate operation. They
have seen the need of public employ
ment for months and have kept more
men on duty this winter in the several
departments and kept more work go
ing during cold weather than ever be-
fore. Tt would be merely a continu-
ance of this policy to accept any FEAST
BILE recommendation along this line
that his honor may make.
But unless he does come forward
with, a definite plan whereby men
may be put to work in the city's en-
ploy, the mayor stands convicted of
the most despicable political jugglery
in the history of Harrisburg.

thoritative tones, demanded that the
crossing be opened Immediately. The
engineer very sweetly advised the cul-
tured aristocrats that there was no
one to cut the train. Said he: "One
brakeman is up ahead tagging n south
bound passenger train, and the other
one is out behind tagging the north
bound. The conductor is in the ca
boose making out his report, and the
fireman, even If it were his business to
do the switching, is now under the en-
gine cleaning the 1irebox. You've
come to mighty poor place to get that
crossing cut. Better go back home
and again vote against the Full Crew
Bill. You people turned down the
common-sense law providing for three

benefits"
