 Junction of KOvel.

London, Sept. 28, 4:1O a. m.-Dis- cussing. the Russian military situa ~tion, this mornings papers attach considerable importance to the re- port that the Russians have retaken the important railway junction of Kovel.

 "The report is unconf1rmed, but if it is correct it is the most striking evidence yet of the Russian recovery in the south,'' declares the Times.

TRENCHES FILLED UP
 WITH GERMAN DEAD
Many Teutons Buried in Enor- nous Craters by Falling Earth

Paris, Sept. 2S, 520 a. m.-"In- fantry attacks at noon Saturday said a soldier wounded in the Champagne fighting in describing the operations which resulted in an important gain for the French. My regiment was acting as a support. For three days our artillery had been making an ap- palling din by day and night Big guns hurled shells without respite.
 We infantrymen, waiting for the end of it, began to get impatient Sat- urday we ate heartily at II o'clock and then looked over our arms. Fi- nal1y, at noon, our chiefs shouted Forward We began to yell like men possessed. With a single bound we were out of the trenches. It was pretty hot in front of us.
 Trenches Filled With Dead.
 ''The boys who had gone ahead ready beyond the German trenches We reached them in our turn at the double. The trenches were filled up to the brim with German bodies. Further on we saw enormous craters in which many Germans had been buried by falling earth. Here and there a boot protruded and We tug ged at them to see if any were liv- ing but there were not. We didn't stop long but pushed on.
 ITO our right we saw strong enemy contingent sheltered in a pit with machine guns. They did not last long, for we fell on them with the bay onet. It was a pretty stiff bit of fencing. Seeing themselves done for, the survivors held up their hands. Some, however, although prisoners, still fired at us. My left hand was pierced by a revolver bullet fired point blank by an artilleryman. My captain knocked him down and sat or his chest

THE SUNS DEFINITION

NOMMENTING upon the unanimity
~ of sentiment in support of the
Presidents course in the existing
crisis over the sinking of the L~usitania,
the New York Sun says:
Save from a squad of political
and a cabal of ~inyeter-
ate Aliens. there is no dissent and
no division.
Interesting word that-energumen.
The dictionaries say it means zone
who Is possessed by evil spirits; a de-
moniac; a fanatical enthusiast"
Is it possible that at last the faunal
naturalist himself is being scientifically
classified? Or does the Sun more par-
tiularly have in mind Terrible Willie
Hearst, the man who had to be re-
strained from invading Mexico all nv
himself, and Frank Munsey, sometime
fiscal agent of the army at Arranged
don and now angel for a little string
OF near newspapers? Only by great
effort and a patriotic desire to avoid
seriously embarrassing the govern
ment. does that pair refrain from
printing their real sentiments about
what they evidently consider the
trucking character of the note to Ger
many.

Taft on the Recall

You send your legislators to the
Legislature because they are experts.
They go there and listen to the meas
ures, and amendments are proposed.
That is their work, a work to which
the great body of electors is utterly
unadapted. 1 do not care how in
telligent they may be. The electors,
through party platforms and in other
ways, indicate the general principles
along which they wish the government
to be conducted. then they select those
experts to go n formulate into con-
~structive legislation the policies they
desire them to support.
when you have a sick child YOU
send for a physician; you do not send
for q lawyer or a businessman. When
you have a bridge to build you send
for an engineer. When you have chill
dren to teach o send for a teacher.
When you have a law to make on g.
complicated subject you send it to men
who are familiar with h duty OF
making laws, n who have the time,
the opportunity, and who are paid for
tho purpose of studying the questions
and formulating into the statutes that
which by your general declaration you
have indicated should be the policy.
Then, too, they seek to establish
a system of recall, rs the result of
which a man has his ear down to tho
ground every day listening to see what
the people think of what he did yes
terday. How can you expect a policy
formulated in hat way to be a real
policy?
HE has got to have courage. He
has got to look ahead, and he cannot
be explaining every day to an entire
people just what he is doing and why
he is doing it, when he assures them
that he is carrying out their policies
and he wishes to be indicated when
he finishes the term for which he has
been elected.
Just think what would have hap
pened If we had had the recall of Pres
idents in Lincoln's time. He would
has been recalled Just as certain as
the word. Could you have an example
stronger to show the a%bsurdity of
keeping a man engaged with his face
tight on the ground and with his a
down there listening to something that
ought not to be in his ears at all, but
that he shall realize the great trust
that he has to-day, that which the
people put him in there to do, and
should have the time in which to do
It, and then manifest by the results of
his trust that he is worthy of his
election.

THE MUNICIPAL CELEBRATION
THE Harrisburg Chamber of Com

ITNHE Harrisburg OF Com
merce will have the hearty sup
port and cooperation Of the
people as a whole in it's plan for a
municipal celebration to mark the
completion of the first great public
improvement campaign that was be-
gun some fourteen years ago and
which has been carried out with such
splendid results for the city.
But this celebration does not mean
that Harrisburg is to stop or even to
pause in it's work for n bigger. better
city. The demonstration will be merely
as one milestone in the progress of
the community; 1t will mark the clos
ing of n era of public improvements
and the beginning of another. From a
review of the vast and splendid work
already done our people will be. in
spired to still greater accomplish
ments, to nobler achievements in city
building.
What has been done has. placed
Harrisburg well up in the front rank
of progressive and e~nterprising cities.
When the gigantic task was proposed
there were some who sincerely OBJ
jected to the expenditure of the large
sums contemplated, on the ground that
it would not pay, or that the money
might o be wisely expended. That
the Improvement work has paid, both
in better living conditions for Harris
burg people and in dollars and cents
as well, is too apparent to require
Illustration or demonstration here.
That the peoples money has been
conserved and made to buy a full dol
lars worth for every dollar spent, no.
body with a knowledge of the excellent
work so faithfully done by devoted
public servants will for a moment
question.
William Jennings, who introduced
the resolution in the Chamber of
Commerce, the adoption of which
started the movement for the coming
celebration, vas one of the leaders for
public Improvements when City Coun-
ellis first came to a consideration of the
initial loan for $1,000, 900 and it is
fitting that he should have been in
strumental in rounding the great
enterprise with such a public jubilee
as is proposed.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-05-20

as practical as possible the courses
taught in the schools.
II there has been one criticism OF
the public school system more fire.
~Quently heard than another, it is that
1t is designed apparently to prepare
q comparatively small percentage of
boys and girls for higher institutions
of learning at the expense of the
great body of public school pupils
who get no farther than the high
school. This criticism has consider
able force and whatever is necessary
to improve the schools from the
standpoint of the girl n boy who
must finish in the high school should
be provided in the reorganization that
is bound to follow the suggestions of
the Governor n those associated
with him in educational work.
Governor Brumbaugh combines in
his person at the present time the
executive of the Commonwealth and
the inspirational fount of the spirit
of education as well. He will give a
new impetus to the practical side of
the educational interests of the State.
His long years of experience in the
work and his devotion to the cause
give assurance of such comprehensive
and practical changes as will make
the Pennsylvania system a model in
the educational world.

SEE PENNSYLVANIA FIRST

ITHAT was a good suggestion Gov
ernor Brumbaugh made to the
newspapermen who were his
guests at dinner the other evening
when he threw out the thought of an
organized effort to promote public in
terest in automobile tours through
Pennsylvania.
The Governor said that Just as soon
as duties of Office permit, he intends
to use all the influence at his COM
mand to induce Pennsylvanians and
people of other States to learn by the
medium of automobile parties the
beauty and charm of Pennsylvania
scenery.
Pennsylvania is more attractive
from many s~tandpoints than the great
automobile routes of the New England
States or any of the other districts IA
vored by eastern motorists. 1t abounds
in picturesque forest and field, noun
tain and vale, lake and stream. It's
landscapes are as varied as they are
beautiful and no State in the Union
can match it for agricultural develop
ment on n hand OF for primeval
conditions on the other. 1t lies in the
path from east to west and from north
to south. With the improvement of
our roads and the betterment of hotel
conditions, Pennsylvania will become
a veritable paradise for motorists.
But, as Governor B~rumbaugh says,
the roads are good enough now to
attract any motorist and the hotel
facilities are by no means poor. Tour
ing in Pennsylvania is only in it's in
fancy. 1t would be we'll for the guide
books to pay a little more attention to
routes and hotels in the Keystone
State.
