said

the Lusitania was torpedoed.
q would have instantly taken pos.

THAT WOULD HAVE INFANT

IL would have been violation Of ev.

time, with all Europe under arms
when this country was the trustee OF

- on the farmer Is the responsibility
Of whether this country shall have
peace or war
The only assurance that the country

The above figures include the sal

shows that experience in handling the
work makes the officer more efficient,
and lessons the cost Of handling the

As shown above the work of the Of.

cost of handling it has decreased.

SITUATION is SERIOUS

NEVER has the country faced a
IN break in diplomatic relations so
calmly and with so little display
of feeling as it is now facing a very
probable interruption of friendly re-
lations with Germany. There are two
reasons for this. In the first place, We
have been to the brink so many times
in the past few months, only to be
drawn back before making the plunge,
that it is probable many people be-
lieve the Presidents ultimatum will
be followed, as in the past, by more
notes and more negotiations. Again
the people generally recognize that
Germany is in no position to attempt
an invasion of this country and that
the navy rather than the army would
have TO shoulder the bulk of the re-
sponsibilities of war. should the pres
ent issue go that far. In the latter
conclusion, they are correct, but IN
the former it is difficult to understand
how anybody can expect the President
to resume negotiations. He has said
what amounts to the final word unless
Germany backs down completely,
which is not likely. The situation is
very serious. We are upon the very
verge of war.

AUDITING AUDITED BOOKS

UNITY COUNCIL has let contract in
" the sum of more than $4,000 for
the auditing of the city treas
urer's books during the term of owen
NJ. Copelin, despite the fact that these
accounts have been audited and
passed upon as correct by the regu-
larly constituted auditing authorities.
Nobody during Mr.. Copelin's term of
office even hinted that there might be
anything wrong with his books, but if
it is necessary 20 go through them at
a price that could be we'll utilized in
setting up the Donate statuary, the
work should be done without delay.
The people are entitled to know what
the auditors find and the sooner they
know the better. If there is any good
reason for the investigation, very well,
but If not, then the audit will be gen.
orally regarded as a pretty costly bit
of councilmanic amusement.

few people in Harrisburg who still
believe that the river front was
created for their own particular uses
and that it is a serious invasion of
their rights that the dumping of
garbage and old barrels and boxes and
household refuse has been prohibited.
But unless and until the proper Off
cials of the city establish a strict
patrol system along the river and
throughout the parks the outrageous
vandalism and destruction of property
will so on.
AS to the sitting coal dirt from the
disjointed carts that are utilized In
hauling the fuel from the landing at
verbeke and Boas streets. these
vehicles should be so lined as to make
them, at least. coal tight.
Much of this destruction of city
property is the result of ignorance.
but much more of indifference and
positive resentment. But this is a
community of 10000 people and the
few who are responsible for these
violations of the public rights must
not be permitted to continue un-
hindered in their course. Some fine
day it will be necessary for the city at
great expense to repave the damaged
concrete steps and then it will be hard
to explain why such damage was
permitted.

THE "pLATTsBURG CAMP

DEAT Plattsburg," is a new slogan
n that is spreading through the
West, where it is said that a
campaign is being waged to recruit
more men for the western camps at
Salt Lake, Seattle, San Diego and Mon
terey than can be assembled at the
Plattsburg camps. They will have to
work at high pressure from now on if
this is to be accomplished, inasmuch
as the "Plattsburg idea" is spreading
throughout the East more so than ever
before, and 5000 have actually en-
rolled for the New York camps this
year.
Each man attending the camp pays
an average of S65 or $40 for uniforms,
transportation and food. but it has
been found that with a little care the
rookie" can get along for a consid-
erably smaller amount. depending, of
course, upon the travel necessary to
reach the camp site.
Plattsburg is located on the shore
of Lake Champlain, the drill plain be-
ing separated from the lake only by
the railroad. A wonderful country
with beautiful surroundings, is the
site which was wisely selected for the
location of this popular camp. The
advantages of month in the open
are obvious, with the resultant hard
ening of fabby muscles and increased
color in cheeks whitened by a winters
work in the office. with good whole
some food and plenty of it. The sum
mer resort fades off into dim moth
ingness in comparison for the vigor-
Gus young man.
A number of Harrisburg business
men will enroll for the August camI
this summer. 1t is entirely a matter
of individual decision and there is nc
concerted action with a view to cam.
paigning for recruits, but a spontan.
eous desire to try out the government

weeks ago three brothers here bought
back ten thousand acres, which had

There are two experts from the ma
