RUSSIAN CONSCIENCE AGAINST
PEACE

Tense of Russia. BY defending our
fatherland, we are defending the
new freedom which the enemy's in
Vasion threatens with fatal danger.
II the German flag should spread
over our land, the flag of reaction
would spread with it. the flag of
the re-established despotic order. We
would be ruled not only by Nicholas
Romanoff, but also by Wilhelm
IIohenzollern. And Wilhelm is eager
that Russia shall long remain in
darkness and oppression.
rs that not clear to you? In
order to avert this danger Russia
must stand at her threshold with
double, with tenfold energy. On ac-
count of this danger let us forget our
quarrels, let us postpone our dis
putes about the future. Down with
partisan differences! Let the grave
historical hour find Russia prepared.
Let all of us look into one direction,
from which we hear the heavy foot
steps of the Germans and the roar
ing of their cannon.
THE immediate task of the mo-
ment is to resist the enemy's inva-
sion, to defend our fatherland and
it's liberty
Let us leave to the future the
must concentrate. all our energies
must now be concentrated on this
great decisive hour. 1t is not enough
to rejoice and enjoy liberty. We
must deserve it to the end. And
we can deserve it in but one way
by making a supreme effort to de-
feat the enemy.
1T may be that the day Is near

PENNA. AND WAR LOANS

NOBODY familiar with the his
IN tory of Pennsylvania will won
der at the energy and enthus-
iasm with which men of this State
have taken up the task of making
the Liberty Loan a success. AS Gov
ernor Brumbaugh in a recent letter
to the bankers of the State, soliciting
their cooperation, points out, it was
Robert Morris, Pennsylvania, who
successfully financed the Revolution.
1t was Stephen Girard, Pennsylva-
nian, who sustained the government
in the financial crisis of the War of
1912. 1t was Jay Cooke, a Penn
sylvanian, who in a commanding way
carried to success the great financial
burden incident to the Civil War.
With record like that to live up
to, every Pennsylvania worthy of the
name naturally wants to do whatever
he is able toward oversubscribing
the great war loan in this State.

A Suspicious Move

From Albany IN. Y. Times Union. I
A well-to-do manufacturer who
made a hobby of archaeological re-
search was travelling in Palestine
when news reached him of an addi-
ton to his family. The manufacturer
sacrificed archaeological to parental
joys. Providing himself with some
water from the Jordan to carry home
for the christening, he at once set
out for Kentucky.
On the morning appointed for the
baptismal ceremony he arrived at
the church ahead of the rest of the
family in order to hand over the pre-
eious water to the preacher. AS he
pulled the flask from his pocket the
minister held up warning hand.

MAKE THE CAMPS "DRY"

TIME order making the officers
training camps "dry" has had
such an excellent effect, accord
ing to reports from Niagara and else
where. that it should be extended to
all of the selective conscription
camps about to be established. In a
short time 100000 young men will
be taken out of private life and
brought together under conditions
that will make for good citizenship
and the growth of democracy if they
are required to live under proper re-
straint. During the Civil War many
young men acquired habits of intem-
perance that dragged them down to
early graves. War and whisky never
did go we'll together. War is the
most strenuous game in the world.
The consumer of alcohol dies more
quickly when wounded and he is
more subject to fatigue and disease
than the total abstainer.
The men of the training camps
will be taught how to protect them
selves from the attack of the enemy.
They should be instructed, also, in
taking care of their physical we'll
being, and alcohol should be barred
from the training places as vigorously
as German spies will be. Indeed, of
the two, it might be preferable to
entertain the spies.
There is another evil. even more
insidious than that of drink. Thou
sands of men have been ruined by it
in Europe. Thousands will go down
before it in the United States unless
precautions are taken. Terrible
stories of the frightful results of
prostitution have been brought home
by physicians returning from the
French front. Nothing like that
should be permitted in connection
with the raising of the American
armies. The scarlet woman and alco-
holic liquors should be so far re-
moved from the training camps that
their evil influences will not be felt.
Otherwise, an awful harvest of death
and disease awaits the opening of
the great training grounds the nation
IL now planning.

WHY Lions Roar

The eminent English naturalist,
Sir Richard Owen. made the inter-
esting discovery that the lion roars
simply because the hyoid bone in his
throat is loose. In the cat the bone
is stationary, and therefore the cat
purrs and cannot roar. but in the
lion and tiger the hyoid is loose
and even when calling TO their mates
the larger members of the cat family
including the leopard and jaguar,
roar.
The roars of the jaguar and leop-
ard are like hoarse, barking coughs;
an interval of about one second sep
arates the expiratory effort" says
Sir Richard. The cheetah and the
puma are like the domestic cat; their
hyoid bones are firmly set in place,
and they can purr.-From the
Youths Companion.

BY Herman Bernstein

From time to time disquieting ru-
mors have come to this country from
various sources to the effect that
Russia was on the point of conclud-
ing a separate peace with Germany;
that a truce was about to be de-
clared between the Russian and Ger
man armies; that the New Russia
wants peace at all costs. Those who
know the New Russia, who are init
mately familiar with the leaders and
their program, know that these ru-
mors are without the slightest foun-
dation and are, indeed. a slander
against the people who have thrown
off the yoke of the Romanoffs and
who would not now place Russia at
the mercy of the Hohenzollerns.

Russian freedom, has been known as

Russian people, this great Russian
writes in part as follows:

Russia has accomplished a great
task She has thrown off the yoke

CLOSING THE SALOONS

TINE TELEGRAPH lays no claim
to being a friend of the liquor
trade, but in all fairness it calls
attention to the action of members of
the Liquor League in voluntarily
closing the bars of the city to-mor-
row, registration day. There is moth
ing in the law compelling them to
take this action and doubtless their
receipts would have been larger than
usual had they remained open. The
liquor dealers are right also in ask
ing that clubs having sideboards also
be dry tomorrow. There is no
reason why such organizations
should continue to sell liquor if reg
ularly licensed places which depend
upon the receipts of their bars for
existence find it possible to close.

protection. The new organization is
not formed for parade purposes. Its
membership is serious in its OBJ
jects. The company-will give up one
evening a week to drill at the ar
mory and one afternon to rifle prac-
tice on the ranges. 1t will fit itself
for whatever service may be required
of it, whether for purely local duty or
to fit it's members for active partici-
patton in the war should it be found
necessary to conscript men beyond
the age of 81.
The likelihood is that more men
will want to join than can be accom-
modated. The action of PaXtang in
deciding to form unit should be
followed by other districts and COM
munities. Penbrook, Steelton, Mid
dletown, Camp Hill and nearby
towns, instead of coming into the
parent organization, should raise
companies of their own.
Nobody can foresee the outcome
of the war. 1t may continue for
years. There may even be fighting
on American shores. Every man
able to be of service in event he is
needed should lose no time in learn
ing how to handle gun and at least
the rudiments of military drill.

REGISTRATION DAY

Mayor Miller very properly has
frowned upon anything like cele-

this would be a poor time for the

the merry-making of fete day.
Rather it should be a period of quiet
meditation, of self-eXamination, Of
preparation for the great sacrifice
that so many gallant young men
shortly will be called upon to make.
Harrisburg will go about putting the
selective conscription law into effect
tomorrow as it always goes about
a patriotic duty-promptly, ef1cient-
ly and as cheerfully as may be, but in
no spirit of undue levity.

CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT
T\WO elements of action make up

the procedure of a nation en-.
tering war-mobilization and
concentration. We are seeing those
elements as they develop at WASH
igton. Our financial strength is be-
ing modified and our political power
is being concentrated.
In the latter course there may be
grave danger if Congress is not care
full. The Constitution wisely sepa-
rated the three branches of the gov
ernment, allotting to each it's func-
ticns. For the most part, in all the
phases of our history, this distinction
has been maintained. Congress has
made the laws. the courts have in
terpreted the laws. The executive
has administered the laws.
Now, however, it would appear
that the executive is to exercise all
three of these functions. Laws are
to be framed at the White House or
at one of the departments, they are
to be passed by Congress without es-
sertial change. they are to be inter-
preted by the President by proclama-
ton, and they are to be administered
by subordinates whom he shall
name.
There are signs that Congress and
the country are restless under the
implications which this program
carries; and 1t will be a day of good
omen when Congress asserts itself
in no selfish manner nor for po-
litical advantage. but to the end that
