Effect of Peace Plans

A fortnight ago the American wheat
crop on paper was worth $3.50, 900
more than it is to-day. A fortnight
ago American stocks and bonds were
worth on paper almost a billion dol
lars more than they were last Friday.
That is what the formal suggestion
of peace by one of the belligerents did
to American values. What an actual
and speedy peace would do may only
be conjectured. The point which it is
intended to make here is that IL Ger
many's peace offer does nothing else
it will have served as a fine object
lesson for the entire United States
The lesson is plain, distinct and easily
read. Our prosperity came as a Sc
quel to war and not as a result of leg
islation at Washington. Our labor is
highly paid because European labor
is bleeding to death. Our agricultural
and manufactured supplies command
a high price for the reason that a de-
structive war Is eating up supplies of
every kind faster than Europe can
furnish them at home. American pro-
ducers OF all kinds profit by the war
while American consumers of every
kind lose by the war, since they are
obliged to bid high for their coun-
try's output of necessities in order to
Keep them away from Europe. Thus
the war helps the pocket of the pro-
ducer and bleeds that of the consum-
er. Just as certainly the end of war
Will profit the consumer, but hurt the
producer.-Philadelp Public Ledg-

THAT AUTO TRICK

TO anyone familiar with the inner
workings of - army unit. the
necessity for vehicle capable of
speedy transportation is Immediately
apparent. A regiment without a light
auto truck for the convenience and
efficiency of its men is indeed lacking
in an essential. The government does
not provide light trucks and it has ap-
parently been the pleasure of those at
home to supply the means for supply
ing their own boys on the border with
such vehicles.
1t is understood that the Eighth
Pennsylvania Regiment. in which the
Harrisburg boys are enrolled, is badly
in need of a truck of the kind and is
in fact the only regiment that hasn't
been provided for. A mistaken i'm
preston has gotten abroad that the
truck, when purchased. will revert to
the government in the event of the
dissolution of the troops. This is not
the case. The truck will be the prop
erty of the Eighth Regiment and not
even the government has the privilege
of communicating a regiments private
property.
Just as soon as the remaining half
of the required amount is raised a tele-
gram will be sent to the Eighth in
forming them of Harrisburg's gift. 1t
is to be hoped that no disappointment
will mar the Christmas of the boys

MARJORIE STERRETT FUND
PROVIDES PRIZES FOR TARS

gether with numerous smaller ships to
complete the fleet. Who can say that
the public interest aroused by Mar
jorie's dime did not make itself felt
among the representatives of the peo-
pie who voted for this generous in
crease in the country's first line of de-
fenSe?
Secretary Has Authority
But the dime still lay in the bank
pleading to be used. One dime cannot
help the navy a great deal. But it oc-
CURED to some of those interested in
the fund that the interest on all it's as
sociates in the cause could be used to
very good advantage. The idea was
presented to the Secretary of the Navy
who has full authority to accept such
gifts. though he cannot receive money
outright for building naval vessels.
This was his reply:
My dear Mr.. Keohan:
Referring to your letter of June
20, 1916. in regard to the Marjorie
Sterrett Battleship Fund:
1t is understood that this fund
will amount to approximately $1,000
per annum. and it is considered
advisable that this fund be award
ed annually to
Cd The crew of the turret
making the highest final
merit at the short range
practice ..................S $500
(2) The crew of the broad
side gun mounted on bat
tleShip, destroyer, cruis-
er or gunboat making
the highest final merit at
the short range battle
practice ................ 200
CD The crew of the sub
marine making the high
est final merit with tor
pedoes for the year .... 400
This will give each winning crew
approximately S12 per man.
In case the fund amounts to an
other sum- it is suggested that pro-
portions be approximately the same
as given above.
The award will be made by the
final records and determined by the
Directory of Gunnery Exercises and
Engineering Competition, and the
prizes will be issued with appro-
pirate ceremony on board ship by
the commanding officers.
Sincerely yours,
JOSEPHUS DANIELS,
Secretary of the Navy.

| MARJORIE STERRETTs dime is

N N ARJOR1E STERRETTS dime Is
IVE going. to work. Ten months ago
thirteen-year- old Brooklyn
schoolgirl sent 10 cents TO the New
York Tribune to start a fund to build
battleship for Uncle Sam. Since then
the 10 cents has grown to over $4,000.
More than two hundred thousand chill
dren and grown-ups, inspired by the
little girls example, have added their
contributions to the patriotic cause.
So the movement grew. In the course
of time gatherings of people came to-
gether TO help along the girls idea.
One OF the first of these was at the
New York Hippodrome. where a num-
Der of Broadway artists responded to
Charles B. Dillingham's invitation to
give benefit for the Marjorie Sterrett
Fund. A little later Marjorie was in
vited to receive contributions for her
fund at a benefit for the American
Red Cross and the American Ambu-
lance Hospital, at the Grand Central
Palace, under the auspices of such
women as Mrs. Robert Bacon, Mrs.
August Belmont, Mrs. E. II. Hartman.
Mrs. Willard d. Straight and Mrs
Harry Payne Whitney.
There Is no longer any necessity for
the dime to lie idle in the bank merely
acting as a magnet for other dimes and
dollars. 1t has grown big enough to
uo something. Inough 1t has not yet
grown big enough to build a battIeship,
1t can stimulate greater efficiency
among the battleships already built.
IL Contributors Approve
That is what it is going to do, if you
who have added to it think the cause
worth while. The Marjorie Sterrett
Battleship Fund, with the approval of
those who have contributed to 1t, will
be invested and the interest on it will
be given as prizes for battle efficiency
in the navy.
No act of Congress is needed to ac-
complish this result. A determined ef-
fort was made to have Congress accept
the fund to be appropriated in accor-
dance with the law for naval construc-
tion purposes. Congressman William S.
Bennett, of New York. introduced a
resolution to that effect, but 1t died
in the naval committee of the House.
The committee decided that Congress
was able to provide enough battleships
for the nations in the regular way.
Congress thereupon proceeded to pro-
vide for the construction of ten new
battleships before July 1. 1919. to-

THE ASHCAN PUZZLE

n PUZZLED uptown residentwri
"A the Telegraph to know how he
can at one and the same time
Comply with the Health Boards ash
can regulations and at the same time
keep out of the sheriff's hands" He
says his case is typical of many others.
and there are reasons for believing
it is.
The Health Board requires all citi-
zens to put their ashes in receptacles
holding not more than two bushels.
With this he has complied, but, he
says, his can became full and he
started in by filling lardcans. He has
seven lardcans filed to running over
now, three peach baskets and one nail
keg, and at the time of writing the
ashman had not put in an appearance.
When he does come" writes the
correspondent, II suppose he will re-
fuse to take any ashes except those in
the regulation sized can. If so. what
is to become of me? Must I keep on
buying large cans, hoping that some
day the ashman will again pay me a
visit. or is there some way that I can
be relieved when 1 have performed
my part of the contract and the ash
man has failed to comply with his?"
The How Old is Ann? and Why is a
Chicken? puzzles apparently are about
to have new rival. Anybody with a
solution to the ashcan problem please
notify the Telegraph, that it may pass
the glad word along.

A Christmas Lament

Christmas isn't Christmas when there
amt no kids aroun',
Sakes alive! Yer might as we'll be liv-
in meath the groun'!
Yer might as we'll be quittin' all yer
useless fuss and furry,
Yer might as we'll jest settle down and
stop yer work an worry,
Yer might as we'll Jest sit down quiet
and fol- yer useless hans,
Yer might as well read Milton's Lost"
er somethin' else-cause lans!
There amt no use er tryin' to make
your house looks like a home
With all yer cakes and wreaths and
trees-it's jest an empty tomb!
What's the use to bake big cakes er
stir up heaps o. batter,
If there amt no little fingers to lick
round tie bowl and platter?
What's the use to mour up candies
fine or peanut taffy
Eff there amt no kids to mess up
things and nearly set yer daffy?
What's the use to run to town and
spen' most all yer money
Eff there amt no kids to peek aroun'
the keyholes sort er funny?
What's the use to stay up nights to
trim Christmas tree
When there's no one there to look at
it mex day but Jim an me?
Gee! Sometimes when see kids atug-
gin after folks,
Seems like they've the brunt of life
when I've only the jokes;
When 1 see them buyin' shoes and
payin' big meat bills,
When see them handin' checks to
doctors for kids ills
Then I think I'm sort er smart alvin
Jest with Jim,
But sayi when Christmas time comes
roun' such thoughts is mighty slim |!

Sawdust to Furnish
| Motorcar Fuel

Undeterred by the ancient tale of
the man who fed his faithful horse on
sawdust, chemists of the American
Chemical Society declare that it will
soon be possible to run motor cars
on alcohol derived from sawdust. 1t
is claimed that alcohol may also be
produced from other by-products of
industry, and that the Southern
darlxy may lose his black strap" mo-
lasses as a result of the demand of In
dustry and pleasure for a cheaper fuel
thar gasoline. 1t is claimed that
alcohol can be produced from these
and other by-products and retailed for
25 cents a gallon, and be preferable
to gasoline at the same price.-Chris-

each mans little gift was accom-
panied by announcement of the
amount that will be added to his
salary as a result of the recent ad-
vance in wages by the Bethlehem in
terests. 1t is not difficult to under
stand WHY Schwab has so few labor
disputes.
