ALLENTOWN AND HARRISBURG

HARRISBURG likes to think her.
II self as among the progressive
cities of Pennsylvania and in
many respects is entitled to that rank.
But at least in the way of schools
Allentown, which we nave been in
clined to consider as more or less be-
hind us in many things, can smile in
q superior manner and tell us to Go
Thou and Do Likewise" For Allen
town is just about to dedicate a new
high school for which the people have
paid 100000.
This ought to be a lesson for Har-
risburg. The people of Allentown did
not debate the needs of a high school
until the children of the city were at
tending half-session, instead of the
full time to which they are entitled.
They saw the necessity and i'm
mediately and with little debate voted
a bond issue of 100000 for the pur-
pose. Harrisburg is not going to be
called uron to eXperd that huge sum
but there should be 10 question of the
passage of such a loan in November
as the school board in its wisdom shall
decide is necessary for the purpose OF
giving the city adequate high school
facilities for years to come.

England's attitude toward Japan's
course is particularly interesting
Officially, Japan was received into the
list of belligerents with open arms.
Popular sentiment in England took
the same stand. A declaration OF war

there is little doubt that English states

At any rate, Japan went into the
war. She dispatched an expedition
against Kiao-Chao. Kiao-Chao is a
port on the southern coast of the

part of one of the most thickly pop

AN ANCIENT MADE-To-0RDER
TOWN

Liberals, on the Sea of Galilee, was
a new city in the time of Jesus Herod
Antipas, governor of Galilee, began,
according to Josephus. to build the city
some time between IS and 10 A. D.,
finishing it in A. D. %. And to the
new town of Tiberias he moved his
capital, transferring it from S%epphoris.
In the building of the city n burial
place was disturbed, and as a conse-
quence very few Jews could be induced
to reside there. The town was chiefly
peopled with foreigners and adven-
turers, and its atmosphere was largely
Roman. 1t was handsomely con-
structed; the palace ornamented with
figures of animals. This also tended
to make the town unattractive to Jews
to whom images were an a~bomination
Tiberias is mentioned but once in the
New Testament, John 6:23, though the
Sea of Galilee is twice called the Sea
of Liberals (John 6:1 and 21:1). TIC
other Galilean cities, particularly Beth
saba and Capernaum, Jesus went fire.
auently, but since his special mission
and message were to the Jews he
seems to have seldom or never visited
Tiberias. But the lovely Lake of Cali
lee and its green shores were familiar
and beloved to the Saviour. The pres.
ent town of Liberals or Tabariya, as
1t is now called, numbers $500 inhabi-
tants, of whom 1000 are Jews, loo
Mohammedans and 200 Christians. -

TINE news that Japan had declared
war on Germany in August
1914 attracted comparatively
little attention when it reached the
United States. In the shower of ultl-
matums flying about, Japan's seemed
far-away and unimportant. To-day II
begins to look as though that ultimat-
UNI would be fraught with more con-
sequences for this country than any
of those exchanged between European
capitals.
Japan's step n declaring war GER
tainly did not arouse any appreciate
opposition in the United States. Am
orleans took it for granted that she
went in under the Anglo-Japanese al
lance. Such Americans as took an in
terest in Far Eastern politics remem
bered that the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance provided only for defensive war
fare when the Oriental territories or
Interests of either power should be
threatened by a third power. Ger
many was not threatening Englands
Far Eastern interests, except in a
very general and secondary way; but
the terms of alliances have been
stretched before, and Japan's action
seemed to most neutral observers, JUS
tifiable enough.
Germany held in Kiao-Chao, her
Chinese port, a possible base for nav-
al operations against the Allies. Jap
an pointed to to this fact as reason
for her own move. A base for naval
warfare in the East might be regarded
as a point hostile to England's Far
Eastern interests, and hence as open
to attack under the terms of the An
glo-Japanese alliance. At the time
that this point was raised, those who
saw the possible consequences of Jap
anese action to the United States and
| China, suggested that Germany would
be glad to refrain, voluntarily, from
using Kiao-Chao as a naval base
rather than lose it, as she certainly
must before Japan's attack. China
actually brought the expedient formal.
ly to the attention OF the United
States and Japan, as the two powers
most interested, after herself. The
choice was never offered Germany

FALL IN WAR STOCK VALUES

TIME fall in the value of war stocks
which is being recorded on the
New York Stock Exchange gives
rise to some interesting speculation as
to what explanation the Democrats
will give for the depressed condition
of the market on these stocks. 1t is
generally believed, and with good rea-
son, that the high tide in our war or
der prosperity has been reached.
The monthly records of exports for the
future will hardly touch the heights
which have been recorded during the
past twelve months. Already there is
a marked decrease in our exports of
grains, cotton, cottonseed, steel and
leather products, etc.
The all-absorbing question before
the business world at the present time
is whether the war will terminate in
the Fall. or will continue through an
other winter. If it should end this
Fall there will undoubtedly be a ter
rife slump in war. stocks; if it should
be prolonged throughout the winter,
the decline will be more gradual.
Probably the President willHmake some
move toward peace, but a sudden ces-
sation of the war prior to election
would teal from the Democratic party
its last and only hope. Stocks would
come tumbling; mills would be scram-
bling back to the terra irma of nor
NAL business; laboD forces would be
cut down and the wage rate would
revert to a normal standard; and huge
SURPRISES of foreign goods which have
been accommodating in Europe for the
past two years would be let loose on
the American market like a Spring
freshet.
For three years years the Democrats
have been attempting to explain the
shortcomings of their administration.
Naturally they do not relish trying to
explain the condition which would fol-
low a sudden termination of the war.
The party now has explanitis. But to
what would they attribute the demon
a~lization which would ensue? Would
they ascribe the panic to the fall in
wal stocks? They have categorically
denied that war orders had anything
to do with our temporary prosperity.
Would they blame it on big bust
ness?" They BOAST that they have de-
stroyed big business" AS a last re-
sort they may say that the confidence
of the country is shaken by the pros
pect of a return to power of the Re-
publican party, which will be
a confession that they anticipate
defeat and an encouragement to in
d-lgtrial America to stand by its guns
until the supporters of Charles Evans
Hughes al unsnarl the thread OF
government which the party OF incom-
potency has reduced to such an exas.
perating tangle.

A NEW FARMING DAY

IT'S a pity more people do not ap-
preciate the excellent work that
is being done by our State Depart
ment of Agriculture" said a promi-
fnent citizen of Harrisburg who has
been interested to some extent in
farming and fruit growing. Before
purchasing a farm near the city he
consulted the experts on Capitol Hill.
It is his sincere judgment that Penn
sylvania has a much more competent
force of expert advisors than the
people generally understand.
Governor Brumbaugh has a distinct
conviction that the time is here when
the State should utilize its force of
trained and scientific experts in adj
vising the farming interests through
out the Commonwealth. He believes

ton of o~utbuildings. the construction

HEALTH

TN view of the outbreak of infan-
tile paralysis in Harrisburg and
the belief of physicians that it's
germs are bred in dirt. would it not
be we'll for the school authorities to
exercise a more careful supervision of
the pupils when they enter school
this Fall than is ordinarily considered
necessary? Children should not be
permitted in school who are not clean
and free from disease. Too often in
some parts OF town the teachers have
been troubled by careless parents per-
hitting children to come to school in
condition to contaminate any who
came into contact with them. This
should not be tolerated, especially un-
der the present CIRCUMSTANCES.

am compelled to come back to my
home papers for the justice that which
the New York Call has not given
me. And while I am a reader of this
paper, and one who has placed much
confidence in what was going through
its columns. I dare say they have
done me a great wrong, and as for me
