The Regular Army Plan.
What do you think is behind the
continental army plan?' "
Il believe" the adjutant general re-
piled, that Secretary Garrison went
to Washington nearly three years ago,
knowing nothing about military affairs.
He has fallen under the greatest In
ftuence in Washington, the Army and
Navy Club. That club is the finest or
it's sort in the world. 1t entertains
royalty, and everyone there has a
single object, TO enlarge the standing
army.
The continental army will fail. 1t
is not working proposition. But the
regular army officers expect it TO have
sufficient vitality to kill the national
guard, and then, when it's own ineffi-
cheney is demonstrated, The! expect TO
see an enormous increase in the regu-
lar army. If the continental army plan
wins, they expect an increase of of
ficers TO command and train it. In
either event they will win promotion
and higher salary.

I'VE have had all the bloodshed and

and manful war-peace."
Speaking of Wilson's European deal
ings he said:
Instead of speaking softly and car
iying a big stick, President Wilson
spoke bombastically and carried q
dishrag. Our offenses have been those
of cold, short-sighted selfishness and
OF a mean timidity which has invited,
and has therefore been partly respon-
sib1e for the German and British of
fenses against us. We could have
stopped them had we had any real
leadership in Washington; had we
shown any firmness of soul and readi-
ness to make effort and encounter risk
for high ideals. Kept us out of wart'
If the Wilson administration could
point to one sacrifice this nation has
made for the right. to one indication
of willingness to face loss on behalf of
a principle, 1t might deserve some
credit. But it deserves none. Thanks
TO President Wilson, we have shown
ourselves too craven to stand up for
our own rights. or for the rights of
weaker peoples. If we had done as we
ought to have done. our neutrality
would have been a badge of honor and
not one of shame"

coming when people will avoid use of
milk bottles that cannot be destroyed
and thus prevent contamination.
In his comments DIR. Dixon says:
The majority Of the milk consumed
in urban communities is delivered in
bottles. Most of these are of the
familiar type with a flanged top, sealed
with paper disc. Some time between
midnight and the morning tens of
cred upon door steps and porches.
ITO handle one of these bottles with
ease one naturally picks it up by the
top, holding on to the f1ange or rim.
This is the way the delivery man picks
them out of the crate and the way
they are put into the icebox
when the milk is served the paper
cap is lifted with the fingers or pried
out with some pointed utensil and the
milk poured out If you have ever
performed this operation-and most
people have-you know that the milk
flows over the bottle rim that has been
badly exposed to the often dirty hands
of the various persons who handle the
bottle before 1t is delivered to the con-
sumer.
This may seem a small matter but
in truth no easier method of contami-
mating the individual milk supply could
be acquired.
Before the milk is poured the bottle
tops should be scalded to insure clean
illness and safety from contamination.
lowing to the fact that the present
milk bottle is used in houses of the
sick as we'll as in those of the healthy,
and often not thoroughly cleansed or
disinfected. 1t will have to give way in
the near future to the destructible bot
tie that will never be used the second
time"
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-10-19

recalled his prediction and speaking
of the situation to-day, he said
1--WE know what the German re-
sources were and what ours were and
the time required to force a decisive
victory for our arms is matter of
calculation"
German prisoners taken during the
summer invariably spoke of peace be-
ing a certainty in the autumn. They
regarded the Somme thrust as final
effort of the allies for decision and
that after 1t peace would be made.
Their tone has been entirely different
of late. They recognize that 1t is a
fight to finish between the man pow
er and resources of the two foes and
that an ultimate decision will come
from the fearful situation on the west
ern front which now will know no in
termission until the end. The Ger
mans are determined to make every
village on the western front a fortress
which will yield only when reduced to
powder by shell fire and every gully
and crater a machine-gun post to Sc
cure their defensive against a critical
defeat.
At period when the weather is ad-
verse to offensive operations elsewhere
the Germans are apparently concen-
trating every possible man and gun
against Rumania. The view of the
British officers Is that the Germans
hope to crush Rumania so that when
they have to face a common allied
offensive in the Spring they may not
have to defend the immense length of
the Rumanian frontier in addition to
what they have had to defend this
summer
1t is a universal remark among
the British that never has the morale
of the prisoners varied more than now.
You will notice that we are always
taking prisoners and that the Germans
get very few of ours said staff

has become a subject for jest among
his own friends.
president Wilson's speeches are
models of adroit indirect suggestion
and avoidance of downright statement.
But the other day at Omaha he seems
to have committed himself to the state
ment that he was willing to fight but
was waiting for something worth
fighting for for something which
would put all the corpuscles of his
blood into shouting shape 1t would
be interesting to know exactly what
outrage on American citizens. or on
the rights of humanity anywhere,
which would make him cross the line
between being willing to fight and
too proud to fight
Il am tempted to think that Mr..
Wilson did himself an injustice when
he said that he was willing to fight
either for any great cause or on ac-
count of any wrong hereafter done to
this country and that the truth was
expressed the other day by his eager
eulogist, Secretary Baker. when he said
that he was glad that no one could
insult Mr.. Wilson and make him go to
war.
"Yet Mr. Wilson. through the Demo-
cratic platform, announces that the
Mexicans have made war upon us and
have murdered our citizens Appar-
emily Mr.. Wilson does not mind the
Mexicans being at war with us as long
as we are not at war with the MeM-
cans.
Are you proud of the recopi. you
Americans of Kentucky. you whose
fathers were once not TOO proud TO
fight? Mr.. Wilson has kept us out OF
war forsooth Why, on our eastern
coast war now grins at us from just
outside the three-mile limit, and on
our southern border war has been
waged on us within our own territory
