Soldiers Relief Fund

SSioASlS ANS11NI l. ltlio
TIME Telegraph will turn all money
= received by it for the relief of
soldiers families into the treas
ury of the Harrisburg Chapter of the
Pennsylvania women's Division for
National Preparedness of the Red
Cross.
The women who compose this or
ganization will act in conjunction with
a committee of prominent business
men in the administration of the fund.
Complete lists of the soldiers of the
three Harrisburg companies, their
families and dependents are being
made and a careful canvass will fol-
low to ascertain how much money will
be required to keep those who have
been left behind from want during the
absence of the breadwinners.
All money donated will be carefully
husbanded. 1t will not be spent where
it is not needed neither will it be
withheld where there is need for it.
Every effort, the organization prom
ises, will be made to have every dollar
contributed reach its proper destina-
ton. Nothing will be spent in the way
of salaries or in expenses incident to
administration. The ladies will give
freely of their own time and money.
The Telegraph started this fund be-
cause of the evident need. But it has
no thought that it should be designated
the Telegraph fund. All of the news
papers of the city should join in the
movement 1t is a work in which
everybody should be interested. The
men who have followed the flag have
placed themselves between us and the
All of them have made sacrifices.
Many of them have left families They
are giving freely for the public good
and the public owes it to them to see
that their dependents at home do not
suffer by reason of their absence.
The ladies of the Harrisburg Chap
ter deserve the heartiest support in the
task they have so generously and so
patriotically assumed. All of us cannot
give our time to this work of relief,
but most of us can give money. Re-
member the story of the widows mite.
Pennies make dollars, and dollars are
badly needed. If you cannot give in
dollars, give in pennies, in the hope
and faith that others will give as God
has prospered them.
If you are planning vacation this
summer, subtract per cent.-almost
we said 10-from what you design to
spend for your own pleasure and do
nate it to the relief fund. 'It is more
blessed TO give than to receive" and
you will go away light-hearted and
happy in having done your duty.
Put yourself in the place of the man
in uniform. How would you feel If
your family were facing want and pri-
vation and the man back home self
ishly refused to share his prosperity
with them?

Preparedness An Issue

"In spite of the warnings of the
last three years and the demand for
preparedness throughout the coun-
try, now tardily needed by Con-
gress we are so pressed for men
that thousands have been summon
ed for arduous border duty who
have had little or no intensive
training"
When this confession appears in a
newspaper that is for Wilson and the
Democratic platform, it is evident that
the Republicans can get all the argu-
ments they want on Mexico from the
admissions of the other side. And the
campaign has only begun.-Phila.

Now comes Henry Lane Wilson
Ambassador from Mexico from 1909 to
1913. with this declaration:
The administration has brought
about the present crisis in Mexico

dead or alive--but the fact Is that
after the mission of the expedition
withdrawn our forces or gone on
to tom Mexico fbs city. city, Instead we have aye
the sensibilities of the Mexican peo-
pie.
So much for the invasion of Mexico
on the hunt for villa-once the ad-
ministration patriot" now the fugi-
tive bandit. But every effect has a
cause. It is generally conceded by
those familiar with conditions in Mex
leo that recognition of the de facto
Huerta government would have restor-
ed normal conditions in that country.
On this point former Ambassador
Wilson says:
If we had recognized the Huerta
Government this trouble would
never have arisen. One day we
patted Villa on the back and the
next day CarranZa. In CarranZa we
recognized a man who controlled
less than one-fifth of Mexican ter
ritory, an area no larger than the
State of Delaware. Carranza does
not represent the Mexican people
Huerta had Cabinet a Legislature
and a judiciary at his back. but this
man has none of these. We recog-
nized a de facto government that
has since become a de functo gov
ernment.
Thus the story of incompetence and
bungling and ''watchful waiting un-
folds itself, while at last the country is
thrown into decentralization over the
of war.
