SEEING PENNSYLVANIA FIRST

CEEING Pennsylvania First" has
become popular since Governor
Brumbaugh and his party of
tourists spent week on the roads of
the State last Fall. Now comes the
Motor Club of Harrisburg with a trip
that will take those who are fortunate
enough to participate through the
most picturesque portions of the CEN
trail part of the State and over a long
stretch of the William Penn Highway.
This organization is nothing If not
enterprising and constructive. The
run planned is to be far more than
a mere sociability affair 1t is to in
clude stops at historic spots along the
way - almost every mile of the trip
teens with associations of the early
days of the Commonwealth - and
those who occupy the cars will be
given a forceful demonstration of Just
what the new William Penn highway
movement means to the State at large.
If every automobile club in Penn
sylvania were as alive to its posi-
bilities as is the Motor Club of Harris
burg the passage of good roads loan
would be a mere matter of form and
automobiling would be safer,
pleasanter pasttme than it is.

more difficult to deal with than any
that has confronted her on the field
OF battle. Time fights on the side OF
the allies. More and more II becomes
evident that Germany must win in
tho next month or two or not at all.
And winning" in this case means
putting the enemy on all sides COM
pletely hors du combat, which is un-
thinkable. The capture of Verdun. for
Instance, would help Germany at
home, but would be no moro a decisive
defeat for the French than the loss
of Warsaw, pictured last year as a
catastrophe of the first magnitude to
the Russians, has proved to the Gear
and his allies.
The great outstanding fact in the
war at present is that neither side
shows any sign of complete victory
on the field of battle and that the war
is more than ever one of exhaustion
with Germany apparently nearer that
stage than her antagonists. AN army
travels on its stomach" and a nation
cannot long maintain a heroic poise
with its thoughts constantly upon an
empty breadbox.

PENRosR AT CHICAGO

i HhNNO LN ANA ftepuDllCdJlS may
we'll be proud of the course of
Senator Penrose at Chicago. He
has demonstrated his ability as a
clear-headed leader at every turn.
His voice has been for harmony and
his influence has been thrown con-
stantly toward the nomination of one
man by the two conventions.
His open mindedness was demon
strated when he proposed to ask the
Republican convention to appoint a
committee, with a Roosevelt man as
chairman, to meet a similar commit
tee from the Progressive convention.
That this was not done was due to no
fault of Penrose. Beyond question 1t
was the right step to take and the
Senator was induced to withhold his
motion for such a committee only
after he had been convinced by the
Hughes element in the convention
that they would name such COM
mittee as would make the move worse
than useless.
Senator Penrose has held out for
no one candidate. He and his friends
in the convention have stood ready to
step into line behind any strong man
who could unite the Old Guard and
the Roosevelt forces. If there were
more Penroses at Chicago Just now
there would be less of confusion and
fewer threats of a disastrous outcome

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

TINE garden spirit is spreading
throughout the land. Harrisburg
has confined It's attention very
largely this year to flowers, although
there has been some attempt at
vegetable cultivation, and there is a
practical suggestion for this city in
what Cincinnati is doing along the
line of teaching boys and girls to love
growing things.
A comprehensive plan whereby
every child in that city will have an
opportunity to preside over a garden
plot has been worked out by Roland
W. Guss, director of the city's depart
nlent of school gardening of the pub
lie schools. "A garden to grow for
every child" has been made the slogan
of the department School children
in all parts of Cincinnati, even in the
tenement districts, will find it possible
to grow flowers, vegetables or fruits.
SAYS Mr.. Guss. Three thousand home
gardens have been reported already
by seventeen schools. The total en-
rollment. after all schools have re-
ported, Mr.. Guss expects. will exceed
10, 900. More than zoe upper grade
pupils have promised to cultivate one
twentieth of an acre or more. School
gardens are to be established by at
least twenty-five schools on school

Barely half dozen years ago pro-
phets of woe filled the land with la

Not Ready For Peace

From the Indianapolis Star.1
It is but just to President Wilson to
say that he does not discuss the posi-
bility OF peace mediation by this Gov
ernment as some of the misguided
members Of his party are doing. there
by bctraYing a suspicious eagerness to
have mediation activities brought into
the political campaign.
The President told the World Peace
League that he hoped the war would
end in the near future but he did not
indicate any intention of offering his
services to the belligerents at this
time. His hearers. on the contrary
gathered the idea that he was disin-
clned to suggest mediation on his owr
initiative, but would act If requested
formally to do so by one or more oi
the helliGerents.
This hesitation on his part is wise

Wilson Not Wanted

From Balt1mOre American.
If evidence were wanted of the un-
fortunateness of furl4.er observations
by the President of the United States
upon the subject of peace for Eu-
rope it would be furnished by the
passionate speech of the German
chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, and his bitter controversy with
the leaders of the Conservative party
in the Reichstag. The Chancellor as
serted he had not the slightest off,
cial intimation of American media
ton. This was an outburst in answer
to the goad of the Conservative lead
er, Count Won Westrap. who had de-
clared his uncompromising opposition
to President Wilson as a peacemaker.
The acrimonious debate in the
Reichstag was brought on by the enc
mics of the Chancellor in efforts to
unseat him, aroused by the ill-placed
peace talk in this country. To secure
himself from attacks for his Ameri-
can policies, thereby laying himself
open to suspicion of counting Ameri-
can mediation, the Chancellor has de-
clared for fight to the bitter end with
his country's foes.
Won Bethmann- Hollweg will, doubt
less, be overthrown, and the United
States may have a fresh chapter -
difficulties to meet, provided Mr.. Wilson
shall remain in the White House. His
passing and that of the German Chan
cellor would place American G erman
relations upon q new footing, and with
the elimination of the bitterness and
acrimony that the submarine issue
created in Germany.

Romance Ever Young
[From Collier,s WeeklY.


The most recent mysteries of science
are the ones that receive most atten-
tion The air is full of talk nowadays
about the thrilling wonders OF wireless
telegraphy and aviation and subterran-
can transportation and submarine
navigation. And very rightly, for these
are marvels. But, for that matter, so
are some of the things which we have
gradually grown so used to that We
never see them at all. There is the
railroad. Plenty of romantic mystery
is to be found in the railroad yard of
great terminal. 1t is, frst of all, a net
work of steel pathways which seem un-
threadable. Trains come and go by
devious ways, semaphore arms rise or
fall in that one rectangular gesture of
theirs. The Providence that shapes the
ends of all this takes the form of men
tugging at some very prosaic-looking
levers in switch towers. To get still
another effect, look at the yard by
might, when great limiteds come surging
freights being made up trundle about.
are set pieces of multicolored switch
and signal lamps. The cars of night
freights beinb made up trundle about.
And the yard never sleeps. In its way
1t is as full of life as the Jungle. Every
locomotive is a dragon harnessed to
mans service. The marvels of science
are all about us, and the ones we have
grown used to are just as remarkable
as those of to-day and to morrow.

Wisdom From Perkins

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.l
George w. Perkins, who has the dis
tinction of being the chief hacker of
Colonel Roosevelt, has been addressing
the members of the Progressive party,
and in the course of his remarks he
gives them some sage advice. He says:
The process of tearing down men and
things in this country and in the world
should stop. 1t is time to be for some-
body, for something and to build up
This is so very, very sensible that we
fear it may not be followed. 1t seems
to be the fate of some souls in this
world always to do the obviously wrong
thing, and the words of Mr.. Perkins
contain so much wisdom that the
chances of their being disregarded are
very strong.
However, while there is life there Is
always hope. and it is not yet too late
for the rule-or-ruin members OF the
Progressive party to turn in and prove
that they are patriots as well as poll
ticians No man has a better right to
advise them than George w Perkins,
for he has furnished the wherewfthal'
without which the third party would
have cut a small figure.

HOW LONG CAN TT LAsTp

TINE greatest question of the war
now is not one of military or
naval supremacy, but how long
can Germany endure the pinch of
hunger that appears to be slowly but
surely throttling it? The desperate
attacks on Verdun, the dash of the
feet into the North Sea, the frequent
heroic speeches of high officials goad-
ing on the people to utmost sacrifice
and the recent declaration of the new
food dictator, Adolph Won Batocki,
that no meat shall be eaten for the
next eight weeks in Germany all indi-
cate the dire straits in which Ger
many finds herself and the extremity
to which she is put to carry on the
war.
The admiration of the world must
go out to any nation that can practice
such self-denial, and even the fact
that the vegetarian diet is made com
pulsory by governmental command
does not lessen the degree of fortitude
required to endure it.
Fearing the effect on the outside
world of this admitted scarcity of food
Won Batocki is quick to add that the
situation is not hopeless, that there is
no fear of starvation, that there are
plenty of potatoes and that cattle
should be At for slaughter by August
1. But this does not obscure the fact
that Germany is desperately hungry;
tEat her people are actually feeling
tbs pinch OF that hunger which only a
few months ago they were boasting
could never be the lot of the Central
Powers no matter how effectively they
were cut off from the commerce of
the world.
Much depends upon the crops now
In the field. IF they are a fair aver
age the situation will be saved. If
lthey are below the average Germany
