All Student Loans
Have Been Repaid

For ten years $4,000 loan fund has
been maintained at the University Of
Oregon, and the sums loaned to stu
dents range from smaller amounts mp TO
$3.50. In the ten years not loss has
been recorded. This can be said today,
but could not nave been said a few
days ago.
Eight years ago a student was grad
uatcd from the university indebted TO
the loan TO the amount Of 500 Ne WAS

in the Balkans was going on at that
time he sent for his fam and brought
them to America, supporting them as
best he could Years passed and the
authorities heard no word from him.
All expectations Of keeping clean the
non.loss record Of the loan fund were
given up.
But the unexpected happened.
Yesterday a letter was received by
President Campbell containing payment
from this long.lost student. Instead Of
the awkward, suffering, foreign youth

of Justice Hughes, prints an editorial in

DILUTED PATRIOTISM

ETTITHIN a few days a New York
w writer has called attention to
the potential value of the in
termed German ships in this country.
He believes that with the termination
of the war the German merchant fleet
will be required as never before to re-
establish the demoralized commercial
interests of the Kaiser's empire. Nor
is this writer the only one who sug-
gests the danger to American trade
OF a sudden dumping on our shores OF
the cheaply manufactured products Of
Europe. It is the judgment of men in
position to form accurate conclusions
that these interned ships. having a
value of many millions OF dollars, have
been the restraining factor in Ger
many's modification Of her submarine
activities.
Immediately upon the conclusion of
the war everything that will float will
be utilized to restore the trade of the
belligerents with the United States and
then will come the tug of war between
commercial giants in their effort to
obtain the cream Of the richest nation
in the world.
These are the reasons given by
statesmen and patriots in their propa-
ganda for military and naval pre-
paredness. Unless and until this coun-
try is ready to protect its vital in
terests we shall constantly be menaced
by the powerful nations on the other
side of the ocean.
Meanwhile Congress is fritter.ng
away valuable time in an effort to de-
ceive the people with a pretense of
preparedness. Fortunately for the
United States. there are enough pa
triotic men in all parties to force the
Senate and the House at Washington
to provide an adequate navy and an

Tillman Formulates a Platform

We welcome the return of Senator
Benjamin r. Tillman to his old
form in a good cause. On Saturday
he spoke his opinion of the river and
harbor bill with vigor and direct
ness refreshing and effective. He ex-
posed 1t without mercy:
'T do not want my share of the
stealing in this river and harbor bill.
"It is criminal to discuss it at all.
Think of it. Forty million dollars
to be wasted and taxes to be in
creased.
THAT forty millions would build
two battle cruisers. No one knows
how many submarines it would build" :"
And the South Carolina Senator is
in favor of appropriating every cent
that is needed to provide the battle
cruisers and the submarines:
THE one essential and all import
ant expenditure confronting us. the
one to which we should bend all the
nations energies. is an adequate navy.
BY that l mean navy second to none
except England's, both in number OF
ships and in armament. want us
to have the very best types of ships
and armament possible to obtain.
Not as many ships nor as powerful
navy as that of Great Britain, but
equalling 1t in individual units, and
IL possible SURPRISING It in every es-
sential of modern warfare. This will
cost hundreds of millions of dollars;
but. no matter what it costs, we ought
to have tive must have it-and we
ought TO set about obtaining it in a
hurry, for 1t takes time to build battle
ships and battle cruisers"
Senator Tillman will vote against
the steal, and for an army and a navy
strong enough to defend the United
States and protect its interests. A
good platform, we'll stated; may his
fellow partisans have the sense to- fol-
low his lead!

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY %.

He that is IoW, no pride.
-BUNYAN
sUsoUEHANNA,s GRANDEUR

M Psansppana %ap m3's are '"s Sa3ns RHeDS their G
eyes opened to the picturesque
grandeur of their own State. 1t was
customary until recent years to talk in
eloquent terms of the wonderful New
England hills and valleys. the mar
velous beauty of the Adirondacks and
Catskills. the unsurpassed scenery of
the Hudson and the other famous
places of interest throughout the
United States. but the coming of the
automobile and the opening up of the
highways of this imperial Common
wealth have brought about a change
IN the dreams of those who appreciate
the beauties of nature. Now The
Juniata Valley and the Susquehanna
Valley and the many other wonderful
places in this State are having :he
attention to which they have been
entitled all these years, but which was
denied them because the tourist was
seeking his pleasure elsewhere.
In an interesting little volume which
has just come to the Telegraph with
the compliments of it's writer, the Rev.
DR.. H. c.. Pardoe, there is contained
an appreciation of the scenery and the
historical and legendary lore OF the
Susquehanna Valley. This volume is
q compilation of summer letters from
the Chesapeake Bay to Otsego Lake
and is of special interest at this time
In view of the study of the Susque-
hanna region by some eminent his
torians. who are about to make a canoe
trip from the head waters of the river
to its outlet in the Chesapeake Bay.
We of Harrisburg know somewhat
of the impressive scenery of the Sus-
quehanna basin right at our doors.
Many of us have toured the banks of
the river north and south of this city,
but comparatively few of our own
people realize the romance of the
river from the early days until the
present time.
Because the Susquehanna BASIN
which is now becoming so popular with
Harrisburgers, is buta small part of this
great river, we can understand the en-
thusiasm of such men as George Gray
Barnard, Warren H. Manning and the
many other distinguished persons who
have made a study OF the stream in
this vicinity. There is nothing finer
than the stretch of river and noun
tains between Harrisburg and the
Dauphin Narrows. All that we need
is great summer hotel situated some
where on the mountains north of :he
city and overlooking the river to make
of this section a far more attractive
resort than the Delaware Water Gap,
the Pocono Mountains or any other of
the famous places in Pennsylvania.

THE FATHERLAND's ATTACK

TINE sinister influence OF The
Fatherland, the organ of the
imperial German government In
the United States. is displayed by its
comment on the recent preparedness
parade in New York city. in which
100000 patriotic Americans marched.
The Fatherland. which has been
fighting German battles of public
opinion under the banner of the Stars
and Stripes, protesting the while its
true Americanism, violently attacks
the preparedness demonstration and
terms those who chose to march
therein the puppets of one of the big
New York financial houses which has
been instrumental in supplying the
allies with munitions. The Father
land has been the foremost exponent
of German militarism-"prepared-
ness If you please-in the United
States and its insincerity is shown
when it berates Americans for the
very things which it holds as virtues
in the German nation.
Many Americans. with due consid-
Grafton for the feelings of patriotism
in the German bosom, have been loath
to believe all the charges that have
been made against The Fatherland,
but no better proof is needed that the
journal is pro-German to the extent of
being anti-American than this latest
outburst of wrath against Americans
who desire nothing but to be put in po-
sition to defend themselves against any
nation that may have designs on them
included. If The Father
land keeps on. even conservative people
may begin to believe some of the lurid
stories of German plans against the
peace of the United States that Eng
lish sympathizers have been feeding us.

Example of Senator Lodge


1t is sound principle of statesman
ship to take what you can get rather
than get nothing at all. Senator
Lodge acted upon this principle when
he voted for the army bill. as. reported
out of conference. All that his col
leagues had to say against it was per-
fectly true. 1t is at best a half hearted
attempt to deal with a question of vital
Importance to the nation. Yet it's op-
ponents put themselves in a false posi-
tion by an endeavor to defeat it at this
stage. Mr.. Lodge, who may fairly be
regarded as the Republican leader in
the Senate, did not commit that error
in tactics. The responsibility for the
passage of the bill does not lie with
him or with his party. Neither he nor
any other Republican can be accused of
inconsistency in continuing to criticise
sham preparedness and to urge real
preparedness. The Senate had to sub
nit to the House because there was no
possibility of carrying through that
body any better measure.
The quality of Mr.. Lodges leadership
Is demonstrated by this episode as by
many others during the past three
years.

GERMANY IN SERVIA

.DRESs dispatches from Nish, If
they are not colored by press
agents of the Kaiser, indicate
that while the occupation of Servia
by the Germans was a very bitter pill
for the people of that country, like
some other disagreeable forms of
medicine it may have a good effect
Thousands of Servians who fed upon
the advance of the Central armies are
reported to be returning, amazed at
the changes wrought by the invaders.
A year ago Servia was in the
clutches of a terrible epidemic of
typhus, typhoid fever and other dis
eases. These, it is asserted. have been
completely wiped out. The occupa-
ton troops compel the population to
obey the sanitary rules established by
the military authorities, with the re-
suit that Servian villages have never
been so clean. The mud of decades
has been carted away and the streets
have been covered with gravel and
crushed rock. Sanitation in the home
is effected through thorough inspec-
ton.
Civil government already has been
established in the Austro-Hungarian
and Bulgarian spheres in Servia and
the Bulgarian territory in Macedonia,
but the districts held by the Germans
are still under military rule, because
it is said, no permanent occupation of
the territory is contemplated. Railway
traffic and postal service are in the
hands Of the military authorities, but
the servian population is permitted to
use them. Schools and churches have
been reopeped in many parts of the
country.
Havana and Manila had little love
for the Americans who came to make
them clean up. and while the cases are
by no means similar, the occupation of
Servian cities. notorious for their filth
and disease, by the Germans in the
end may be as beneficial as was the
Occupation of the Cuban and Philip
pine towns by Americans.

THE EASY JOB

TIME advent of the commencement
season recalls the story of the
college student responding to
the inquiry of a professor who asked
his boys what they planned to do for a
living, by writing this: 81 am going
home to take a good easy Job that
father has cut out for me-"
The father who cuts out" an easy
job" for his son does the lad an in
jury. The easy job" is the front door
to ruin. It STILES the intellect and
stunts initiative. The man with the
easy job" has time on his hands, and
Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do" The easy job"
breeds easy habits and easy morals and
an easy conscience.
The easy Job" however. is rare,
and 1t is we'll that it is so, for fathers
are prone to smooth wherever possible
the paths their sons must go and the
position that pays we'll and requires
small effort is a s..rding temptation
when it is open.
Work is the hope of the world. and
the clean-minded, energetic young
man is the instrument by which the
best that civilization has in prospect
is to be realized.
Don't look for an "easy job" you
boys who have won your sheepskin by
hard work. The world is even hard
er taskmaster than the school or the
college and the big rewards are for
those who work hardest and best.

Il TEST FOR WATCHES
By Frederic J. Haskin

A T the United States Bureau of
~ Standards, in Washington,
L \ there is a big cabinet with a
glass front in which are 3S watches of
all shapes, sizes and grades, and all
vigorously ticking. The temperature
in this cabinet is controlled by ther-
mostat which automatically shuts off
an electric current when the tempera-
ture gets too high. The variation, If
there be any, is recorded by a thermo-
graph, which draws a fine red line up
on a piece of paper
In front of this cabinet there is
erected a small telescope. At regular
intervals a man takes his seat behind
this instrument, and studies the face
of each watch at a distance of about
six feet. At his side is an ordinary
Morse telegraph key. This is con-
nected with a chronograph, which in
turn is connected with the Bureaus
standard time clock. AS the hands of
each watch indicate the fifty-eighth,
sixtieth and second seconds, the OBJ
server taps his telegraph key, and
make a record on a chronograph of
the reading of that particular watch as
compared with the standard clock.
The record of the watches can after
wards be read at ones leisure.
This is an official rree-for- all watch
test conducted by the Uniteds States
government. Any manufacturer of
watches, any jeweller, Jobber or indi-
vidual watch owner may send his
watch to the bureau at the time of
these periodical tests, and have it test
ed in three positions for three dollars
or in five positions for five dollars. 1t
will take f1fty-four days to complete
the latter test. When you get your
watch back, however, you will know
exactly what it CAN do standing up
and lying down, hanging by its stem,
in hot weather and in cold, by day
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-05-23

and by night You will know to
dot, how much it gains or loses and
how much its rate varies in the "a
hours. If you are a manufactures or
jeweller, you may win a certificate
which you can sell with your watch,
and you may receive the Bureaus re-
ports which will help you improve
your product.
Government watch tests have long
been regularly held in Switzerland,
France and England. The chief OBJ
servatory in the world is that at Ge-
neva, Switzerland. These government
tests have been of the greatest value
to the European watch makers. They
have set a standard of performances
for watches of all grades and have al
so caused the Standardization and inn
provement of materials. For exam
pie, the Swiss government discovered
through its watch tests that invar, an
alloy of nickel and steel, is much bet
ter material for the balance wheel than
any other metal. The Swiss watch
makers are now using this material
regularly, but the Americans have not
yet taken it up. Most of them know
nothing about il. Now the Bureau of
Standards proposes to test American
watches, standardize them, and fur
nish the manufacturer with the ex-
pert guidance which is necessary to
every INDUSTRY. lncluentallyt IL Will
also make a test for any individual
who wants to know what kind of a
watch he is getting for his money,
and whether it is really we'll adjusted
or not.
Specifically, the test consists in run
ming the watch in five different posi-
tions Cor in some cases, three), at
several different temperatures and of
an isochronism test Every high

WHERE THE CREDIT is DUE

TREASURY DEPARTMENT off,
cials estimate that the United
States government receipts in
the current fiscal year ending June 80
will be from SOC, 900, 900 to 800, OOO,-
600 more than estimated when Con-
gress convened. Lest our Democratic
friends grow boastful of this condi-
ton of the treasury 1t may as we'll be
pointed out in advance that they are
in nowise responsible for the big in
crease in revenues. except for the fact
that they caused TO be enacted the OBJ
noxious so-called war tax" measures.
Back of this large increase in receipts,
aside from the money raised by the war
tax" is the general prosperity of the
country due to the immense war or
ders placed here by Europe. That the
Democrats can claim no credit for the
excellent showing of the treasury is
amply proved by their frank admis-
sion of surprise over the figures as
announced.

Boosting Coal Prices

vance in price of a necessity like an
thracite should not wait upon the
ability of the public to produce evil
dence of a. conspiracy. which is the
most difficult charge to prove. The
price-boosters, whether acting indivi-
dualy or in combination, should be re-
quired to- show cause for their action,
and in the opinion of many students
of the law there is ample power in the
district attorney and grand jury to
make such an investigation. without
further legislation. This is one of the
instances where the power of the
grand inquest" generally neglected
and sometimes misused, might be em-
ployed for the public welfare.-Phila-
