USING UP VITALITY

The struggle for success uses up
vitality in America at greater rate
than any other thing. Fighting to keep
away from the poor-house we shorten
the distance to the grave.
Especially in middle age, at forty or
thereabouts, do we become impressed
with the necessity of laying up a COM
petence and with that feeling in time
comes worry, nervous breakdown, neu-
rasthenia. The entire system feels the
result of the nervous strain. The diges-
tion resents things that it accepted be-
fore, the heart palpitates on slight ex-
erticn, the muscles of the back ache
after days work. Your blood is
thinner and not so bright red.
When these things occur, whether
you are fourteen or forty, you need
tonic. DIR. Williams Pink Pills suit
most peoples need because they are
non-alcoholic and they really build up
the blood and strengthen the nerves.
They are useful for growing children
and for men and women whose nervous
energy has been overtaxed.

London, April 26. - Sir Roger
Easement, leader of the Separatist
faction in Ireland, who was captured
while attempting to land arms from
Germany, on the Irish coast, was
conveyed across Ireland Saturday by
a strong armed escort who knew the
prisoner only by two initials. He ar
rived in London without incident and
Immediately was lodged in the Metro
pClitan Prison.
The fact that Sir Roger Easement
has been brought to England TO stand
trial and is detained in military GUS
tody leads to the assumption that he
will be tried on the charge of high
treason.
This charge has been preferred less
than half dozen times in England
the last hundred years. The last in
stance was during the Boer war, re-
sulting in the conviction of Arthur
Lynch in 1903. Mr.. Lynch, who is
now a member of the House of Com
mons, was sentenced to. death but the
sentence was commuted and year
later a pardon was granted.
The Express suggests the possibility
that Sir Roger, If convicted of high
treason, may be beheaded, as under
the existing law a person found guilty
of this offense may, by crown warrant,
be given the penalty of beheading in
stead of hanging.

found in my constituency of 1000.
Many of them originally joined the
Irish volunteer movement when Sir
Edward Carson organized Ulster.
Some time after we started the
Irish volunteer movement to offset the
Ulster organization there arose a
division between the Irish Nationalist
volunteers, those following Redmond
and those following the old revolu-
tionary movement. The latter COM
posed as stated adopted the name of
Irish Volunteers and continued to talk
nonsense and drill after the beginning
of the war. 1t is quite evident that
these kept in touch with Sir Roger
Easement and arranged an onslaught
TO coincide with the Inflated gun
running exploit of Thursday"

WINDOWBOXES TO
GO UP ON MARKET
SQUARE FRONTS
Harrisburg Gas Company and
Harrisburg Feed Company
Make Decision Today

The Harrisburg Gas Company and
the Harrisburg Feed Company. occu-
pylng the same building on Market
Square, have joined the Telegraph's
porch and window box contest. The
building will be decorated with boxes
IN which plants and vines will grow
ana bloom all through the summer
months.
This is move in the right direc-
tlon. The gas company, as a public
utlity is setting the pace for other
business enterprises having their
homes on Market Square, and L. C.
Williams, of that company, and James
w. Barker. of the feed company, are
cooperating heartily in the project.
other business men on the Square
are seriously considering the placing
OF window boxes and 1t is believed that
the example set by those who put up
boxes this year will in time result in
the decoration of every building in the
heart of the business district, Just as
the stores and office buildings in the
cities of Germany are beautified with
flowers during the summer months.

in the movement, Mr.. Asquith said.
were being taken.
The following telegram was received
in London to-day from Baron VIM
borne, lord lieutenant for Ireland,
dated Dublin:
The situation is satisfactory. Ste
phens Green has been occupied. Eleven
insurgents have been killed. The pro-
Nincial news is reasSuring."
Premier Asquith told the house of
commons that drastic action to sup
press the movement in Ireland was be-
ing taken.
Had No Machine Guns
Outside of Dublin. he said, the coun-
try was tranquil. The premier added
that steps were being taken to ac-
quaint neutral countries of the real
significance of this most recent Ger
man campaign"
Premier Asquith this afternoon read
a telegram in the house of commons
stating the situation in Dublin was
satisfactory. 1t was not the case, the
message stated, that the rebels had
machine guns.
Routes May Be Closed
At the opening of the House of

difficult to say whether any routes to
Ireland were open or closed. He add
ed that he was going there if he could

SHOULD ARGUE
"HARDSCRABBLE"
BEFORE VIEWERS
Dauphin Court So Intimates in
Hearing Property Owners
Objections

Harrisburg officially explained its
legal position in the "Hardscrabble"
problem to the Dauphin county courts
when City Solicitor d. S. Seitz this
afternoon argued the municipalities
answer to the exceptions and appeals
to the condemnation viewers award.
Mr.. Seitz represented the city alone
although the various objecting prop
erty owners are represented by an
array of counsel that includes James
Scarlet, Senator E. L. Beidleman, w.
l.. Loeser, John G. Nissley, b. Frank
Mead and George r. Barnett.
Twenty-seven exceptions to the re-
port of the viewers all of them sup
ported by what the protesting at
torneys declare are legal foundations,
and half a dozen appeals from the
amounts allowed, constitute the basis
of the objections.
Argument began yesterday after
noon when Mr.. Nissley and Mr. Mead
had the floor and ended to-day with
Mr.. Barnett's talk. Messrs Scarlet
and Beidleman, ii is understood will
discuss only the question of appeal
that is, whether or not the property
owners have been allowed sufficient
compensation. In the absence of Mr..
Beidleman Arthur II. Hull may assist
MI. Scarlet.
During the argument of Mr.. Bar
nett to-day both President Judge
Kunkel and Additional Law Judge
McCarrell intimated pretty plainly
that all of the questions could have
been as readily brought up before the
condemnation proceedings heard by
the board of viewers.

Mr.. Barnett not only attacked the
legality of the city's method of open
ing Front street. but he protested

Papers Say They Could
Have Prevented Riots if
Allowed to Print NeWs
BY Associated Press

London, April 26. - "The revolt in
Ireland is the natural result of the
governments policy in Ireland" says
the Daily Mail Augustine Birrell,
chief secretary for Ireland, and
Premier Asquith sat still and allowed
rebel force to be enrolled and
armed. They did not move hand or
foot against it. On March II, 1900
Irish Volunteers paraded, mostly
armed with rifles, and nobody stopped
or challenged them.
Mr.. Birrell never asked why the
volunteers existed. He knew ii was
not to serve against enemy-bttt
rather to obstruct the imperial forces.
On December 10, he declared evidence
OF their disloyalty is voluminous, yet
he did nothing.
"If he had any policy other than
merely drifting, it was to turn a blind
eye to the disloyal movement. The
government persuaded itself that the
treason could be overcome resolutely
looking the other way. The govern
ment's wait-and-see policy was COM
plicated by a hide-the-truth policy.
Would Have Been Reused
'lf the newspapers had been per-
mitted TO publish information in their
hands Sunday night these things
could not have happened. The Irish
authorities would have, been aroused
from their sleeping sickness by pub
lication of news that something very
exceptional was occurring. They
might have taken ordinary precau-
tions, but the press was muzzled. It
is proof of the grossest negligence and
obtuseness when four or five parts of
great city can be seized by COM
paratively a small number of armed
men.
Colossal BIunder
This colossal blunder follows upon
and surpasses all other blunders of
the war How much longer is the ma
ton prepared to drift under the
domination of leaders who refuse to
lead?"
The Daily Express says that Angus
tine BirrelPs strange hesitation in in
forming the House of Commons of the
Irish revolt makes il natural tc
imagine the situation is worse than
officially reported.
The Daily Chronicle says:
What is most dreaded now is that
even the order speedily restored may
be at the cost of bloodshed which may
rankle for generations. One cannot
help fearing reaction against the pros.
poets of constitutional home rule"
The Times says:
The whole miserable business is q
sorry comment upon the complete
| failure of Mr. Birrell to maintain
respect for law and order during the
nine years of his weak, callous ad.
ministration Such are the fruits ot
/ trucking to sedition and making lighr
of contempt for law"
