A Little Premature
New York World.l

Like so many other English or
the British Navy League is busily
engaged formulating it's own pecu-
liar conditions of peace with Germany.
These are the surrender to Britain and
her allies. ton for ton, of interned Ger
man merchantmen in exchange for the
Allied tonnage 'unlawfully' sunk by
German, submarines And as all sink
ings of Allied merchantmen by U-boats
action is expected to destroy all German
hopes of emerging from the war with
at least merchant fleet largely un-
touched and threatening British supre-
macy in the ocean trade.
This is "A characteristic bit of Brit
ish bumptiousness. 1t is cooking and
eating the game before it has been
caught. 1t is paying a tribute TO
T. boat destruction which the facts do
not warrant, in so far as it assumes
that any very great disturbance has
been effected in the relative strength
of the British and German mercantile
marine.
British troops are still some dis
tance away from Berlin. After four
months of maximum effort they are
short even of having broken through
the German lines on the Somme. Ger
many long since had the grace to
stop talking of billion dollar indemni-
ties to be exacted from her enemies
Great Britain may well follow the eX-
ample until at least something has
been done to give little weight to the
threats.

A Creditor Country
kansas City Times.l

The New British loan in America of
800 million dollars, announced by j.
P. Morgan & Co., to be offered to in
vestors soon. will make total of more
than l q billion dollars borrowed in
the United States by foreign nations
since the war began-and all the pro-
ceeds have been spent in the United
States.
In addition to this huge sum, prob
ably an equal amount of American
stocks and bonds formerly owned
abroad have been returned to this
country in the process of paying for
war munitions and other supplies
bought hastily and in immense guam
titles.
While this process of taking stocks
and bonds from Europe has been go
ing on, foreign countries have sent
627 million dollars, net, in gold to the
United States. so that in the twenty
nine months of war foreign trade has
brought to the United States balance
of more than billion dollars in Sc
curities and gold in exchange for
high priced commodities.
The most remarkable feature of this
record is that the United States was
suddenly transformed from borrow
ing nation to a lending nation, and on
scale that would have seemed inn
possible two years ago.
The transformation is due almost
wholly to the fact that the allies in
Europe have been buying immense
quantities of commodities, at high
price, in the United States, yielding
very large profits to American pro-
ducers
A continuation of normal interna-
tional and financial conditions prob
ably would have resulted in sustained
foreign Investment in this country and
the United States would have remain
ed a debtor country Indefinitely.
The war has changed the situation
completely and probably has just the
United States permanently in the list
of nations that have an excess of
capital to lend abroad.

AS a Warning
IBuffalo Express. !

Regarded as a symptom of social
conditions, the fight at Everett, Wash,
between a posse of citizens and an
organized band of the l. w. w. is
somewhat ominous. These /. w. w.
men have been filed by their leaders
with the idea that the way to obtain a
living Is not to work for it, but to take
1t with the strong hand. That. by the
way, is virtually the philosophy of
Villas bandits. though II must be said
for the Mexicans that they have more
excuse for 1t than have any men living
in America.
Men of this type are few and of
small Importance now They were
much more numerous and troublesome
during the hard times of two years ago.
What will be the consequence lie re-
turn of hard times should send some
millions of tobless and discouraged
men to trampling about the country
as the Coxey armies marched in 1894?
The Coxey armies merely paraded. They
did little mischief beyond pillaging for
food.

plot was confided, thought otherwise,

surrounded on all sides with English
mine layers. The whole of the day
they sailed from Bergen the comman-
der followed a zigzag course, until
they reached monster British war
vessel. which the deputies boarded.
The party was told that their des-
tination was Newcastle e-on-Tyne,
where they would arrive at s a. m.
That same night the captain received
a wireless that a perfect shoal of sub
marines was following in his wake and
he again changed his course. The cap
tain told DR.. Shingarieff. the distin-
guish Russian deputy, 'The subma-
rines will never be able to overtake
my vessel. but they might beach a
point where they could hinder our
course, so / have to move very careful
ly."
The night passed without any thrill
ing incident until the voyagers reached
a port, much to the astonishment of
the deputies, far up in the north of
Scotland. instead of their supposed
destination.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
WILSON has been re.

i elected. according to figures at
hand this morning. This is any
thing but good news to the thousands
in Pennsylvania who have been hon
ing that the few States in doubt until
the last minute would turn in a ma
jority for Justice Hughes. There are
those who will look upon the results
of the election as a misfortune an
proaching calamity. But majority
of the people have spoken. and this is
country of majorities. We must ac
cept, as gracefully as we may, the YER
dict of the people. Four years will be
required to prove whether or not they
have made mistake. All that re-
mains for both majority and minority
is to be good citizens and make the
best of the situation.
1t will be unfortunate if, in the re-
count that either side may justly de-
inand in q closely contested State
there be any charges of fraud. Down
in his heart no good American believes
that the results in any of the doubtful
States have been held back or juggled
by either party. and we are in no
position to go before the world with a
family quarrel that will further lower
us In the eyes of our neighbors, much
less give them any ground for the mis-
taken notion that we are house
divided against ourselves. Mistakes
there may have been and doubtless
were on both sides. but 1t is unbeliev-

able that there has been dishonesty at
the polls sufficient to place the national
election in doubt. There was abso-
lutely no excuse for that message from
Democratic headquarters: Guard the
ballot boxes" Nobody wanted to steal
them, and the inference displays yell
low streak that 1t is not pleasant to
note in men in high places.
There are so many Ifs" and butts"
entering into the results that to at
tempt an analysis of the causes lead
ing up to the reelection of the Presi-
dent would be folly at this time. Three
big factors are, however, outstanding
and apparent. The people were lulled
into belief that the present pros
perity is permanent and due to Demo-
cratic policies. Thousands of others
were impressed with that overworked
phrase. HE kept us out of war;" And
above all, the Progressives of the West
did not follow the banner of Theodore
that is no more evident any place than
in California. where Hiram Johnson,
the Progressive candidate for Vice.
President in 1912. was elected to the
United States Senate and where
Hughes was slaughtered. The sus-
picion is eXcusable that Mr.. Johnson
used little of his great influence in
California for Mr.. Hughes.
However, these are matters for dis
cussion when more of the facts are at
hand. The thing the people will now
begin at do is to adjust themselves to
conditions as they exist. Many things
have happened since 1912 to upset
traditions and obscure great principles,
but we are an optimistic people, and
even the disbursements of the last
few years will not serve to perma-
nently destroy the vision and spirit
and virility which have characterized
the development of the American
people.
Down in the heart of the average
citizen is a strong belief in the future
of the country. We have our backset
and other obstacles to overcome. but
there is nothing which will perma-
nently destroy the spirit which ema-
mates and inspires the citizenry of the
United States in the realization of the
high ideals upon which the republic
is founded.
The campaign which has just come
to a close has illustrated that while
the people may be confused and utterly
demoralized by fictitious issues, they
are certain to return to thessupport of
those principles which are funda-
mental and enduring. 1t would be
well for political leaders of all parties
10 take note of certain significant de-
velopments of the late contest. The
people are not going to be stampeded
into support of men or measures sim
ply because of a party label. They
may be thoroughly deceived, but in
the last analysis truth will rise above
fallacy and the real will take the place
of make-believe in our governmental

nETROGRAD-A story told here
by members of the Russian Par
liamentary party, who recently
returned from a tour of the Allied
countries, is a striking proof of the
far-reaching information secured by
the German Intelligence Bureau.
The Germans managed to get wind
of the intended visit of the Russian
deputies to the Allied countries and
laid plot TO intercept the Jupiter, the
vessel on which the party was to
travel from Bergen to England and
France.
The plan was frustrated by a Rus
sian woman who travelled on the same
train with the deputies from Stock
holm to Bergen. A German friend of
hers, knowing of the intention to cap
ture the Jupiter, warned her not to
travel on that vessel with the depu-
ties, as he had knowledge from the
best sources that u great fleet of sub
marines had been told off to capture
the vessel at all costs.
Just think" said this German,
what a laughing stock would be made
of the Russian deputies when they
found themselves in Berlin instead of
the capital of the British empire"
Madame X at once gave The
tip to the deputies, but the latter pooh
poohed the idea and said they were

EXCELLENT SELECTIONS

TOvERNoR BRUMBAUGH and
~ the other members of the Board
of Public Grounds and Buildings
have shown excellent Judgment in the
selection of Arnold w. Drummer, of
New York, as architect to prepare
plans for the development of the
Capitol Park zone. and in the choice
of Warren II. Manning. of Boston. to
assist him.
Mr.. Manning needs no introduction
TO Harrisburg. He it was who de-
signed the very excellent park system
which has come to be a source of pride
and joy to every Harrisburger. Mr..
Drummer is not so we'll known here,
but his reputation both in this country
and Europe is second to no man in his
line of work. Cities all over the coun-
try bear the stamp of his artistic
handiwork. Cleveland. Boston, AL
bany and a dozen others have en-
ployed him to direct the expenditure
of millions of dollars for civic i'm
provements. In Harrisburg he will
nnd conditions especially congenial,
for the reason that, unlike Albany, the
city of Harrisburg is working in per-
feet harmony with the State and both
will do whatever is necessary to make
the new Capitol Park a proper setting
for the magnificent State Capitol and
Il show place commensurate with the
wealth and importance of Pennsylva-
MIA in the sisterhood of States.
The Governor and the other mem
bers of the board have approached
me development of Capitol Park in a
big, broad way. It is their purpose to
make the reconstructed and enlarged
park not only the center of the Har-
risburg park system. but the very
center of the Commonwealth itself,
a jewel in the setting Of the great
Keystone State. There is no reason
why this should not be so and every
reason why it should. Europe has
long pronounced America young and
crude and our cities ugly. To n very
large degree we have merited the
criticism. But we are growing rapidly.
We have both the money and the
ability to make our cities as beautiful
as those of Europe. Harrisburg in its
own way has recognized this and has
led the way for other of the smaller
cities of the country. 1t is worthy of
note. that this effort of ours has not
gone unrewarded. for it is beyond
question true that had not Harrisburg
gone in for public improvements when
II did, Capitol Park would not have
