Maggie Cline Is Back

Maggie Cline was in the news from
New York this week. Years ago,
twenty or thirty or such a matter,
Maggie Cline's name was often in the
news; but it seems a long time, now,
since we saw it before, until here it
encounter she had with John McCor-
mack, the Irish singer. He was sing
ing his Irish ballads at a big theater
in New York and Maggie was singing
her Irish ballads in n vaudeville the
ater, and Maggie's manager, thinking
no doubt to get some advertising out
of it, linked her name with his as the
two Irish ballad singers" Thereup-
on Mccormack protested and said he
did not wish his name associated with
that of a vaudeville singer.
Maggie came back at him with true
Irish wit and love of a fight. II don't
believe he's Irish" she said. "I have

Home Rule For Cities

T>HERE is growing sentiment
= through the State in favor of
some amendment of the laws
and, perhaps, of the constitution
which will enable cities of the third
class to adopt charters of their own
which will give them larger measure
of home rule. This subject has been
before the Legislature in one form or
another for several years, but MOTH
ing has ever been accomplished save
now and then the repeal of some spe-
cial law affecting particular COM
munity
This newspaper has urged some
such movement with more or less in
sistence owing to the fact that other
cities of Pennsylvania are suffering
just as Harrisburg through retarded
development resulting from laws that
are narrow in their application.
Something should be done at the
present session to bring about radical
reform in this direction. When the
cities shall have the right to adopt
their own charters the Legislature
will cease to be troubled with Il deluge
of special bills at every session to
cover local and specific municipal
difficulties.
Director Moore, of the Legislative
Reference Bureau, has been requested
to prepare suitable legislation on this
subject and there ought to be no op-
position to tie measure when it shall
be finally introduced.

Feed Enemy's Children

The bread of the German soldiers
is hard, black and sour. Not at all like
the bread we are used to. 1t is coarse
in texture and very solid, but withal
wholesome. l lived on it myself for
several months and gained weight; but
when l did get hold of a loaf of white
bread by chance in a Serbian village,
it tasted like cake to me.
The officers eat the same coarse
bread as the men. Each German sol
dier receives a loaf of this war bread
a day. 1t weighs a little more than a
pound Every loaf has the date
pressed into the top, so that the man
will know at once IL he is not getting
fresh bread.
1t is seldom that the soldier eats the
full amount, but 1 never saw one
throw any away. He either feeds it to
his horse or gives it to the local pop
ulation. In Northern France and Bel
gium / have seen thousands of chill
dren lined up along railroad embank-
ments where the troops transports go
by, each holding up his little hand and
begging "Bitte, stuck brot" (Please
a piece of bread). 1t is remarka BILE
how quickly these children pick up
German. And the soldier breaks his
loaf in two and throws the-half out of
the window.
Whatever the policy of the leaders
may be. l have always found the COM
mon soldiers of Germany generous
and tender hearted.-Albert X. Daw-
son, in the Scientific American.

More Daylight
(Kansas City Times)

Upwards of one hundred and
twenty-five years ago Benjamin
Franklin conceived the more daylight
plan and urged it's adoption. From
then until now the plan has been
brought up and pushed in different
countries at different times.
The war caused its adoption in
every country in Europe. Germany
was the first nation to put it in oper-
alton, last April, and it did so for
economic reasons. 1t desired the peo-
pie to get up an hour earlier in the
morning, and go to work and quit
work an hour earlier in the hope that
they would go to bed an hour earlier,
and thus the coal that was used for
making artificial light for that hour
would be saved. The government
needed that coal in it's plants that
were making war material.
The plan worked, just as German
officials saw it would and other Euro
pean nations adopted it. Setting the
clocks ahead in Europe saved so much
gas and electric light that the COM
panies making those artificial lights
had their incomes materially reduced
For American communities the big
advantage of the plan would be that
it would enable people to use the day.
light hours to the best advantage and
get through with their work an hour
earlier, so their time for recreation
would be prolonged.

Won BERNsTORFFs TEARS

VTTHEN Count Won Bernstorff, am
Wv bassador of Germany to the
United States, was handed his
passports with the notification that
the President had decided to sever
diplomatic relations with his country
he wept and said that his whole life
work had been ruined. But his tears
were not those of sympathy for the
United States. They were for his
diplomatic friends at home who could
not understand this country as Won
Bernstorff understands it.
The Count learned his lesson in the
school of hard experience. When the
war in Europe started none was so
insistent for German sympathy in
America as Bernstorff, none so firm in
the belief that Communications
would cast in their lot with Germany
against the interests of their adopted
country. He found fertile ground for
the seed Of sympathy he sowed. That
was natural enough. Germans nat
urally hoped the Fatherland would be
victorious and were willing to talk that
the various relief funds in which Won
Bernstorff was very properly in
terested. A few he found who would

land uber allies" meant just that. with
all the phrase implies. But these were
the rare exceptions. He soon discov-
cred there was no such possibility as
organizing a secret army in this coun-
try to fight the battles of Germany
against the United States If break in
relations actually came about.
Won Bernstorff learned also the
falsity OF the generally accepted idea
abroad that Americans are a nation
of dollar worshipers,H ready and will
ing to sacrifice any principle for the
sake of money-grabbing. He learned
what Berlin has not yet been able to
grasp-that Americans want nothing
more or less in their dealings with for
eign countries than the same kind OF
fair play with which they themselves
conduct their diplomatic interchanges
Germany has mistaken patience for
weakness and a sincere desire for
peace has been construed as unwill-
ingness or inability to fight under any
circumstances. Berlin has reckoned

cultivate our abilities. But when it
comes to Love, we seem for the most
part to think we can do without the
best models; and few of us can be said
to really study the matter at ALL
This seems all the more strange when
you remember that only u compare

nearly all of us, mind you, expect or
greatly desire or hope some day to
practice love, and to make a great
success of it.
How are we fitting ourselves for
it? What knowledge of the subject
have we? What practice? What ex-
perience? Often enough, none at all.
A good many of us still think of it in
the old unintelligent way. We are
simply to waken and find ourselves in
love some day: and then we are to
love on in unison with some other soul
whom love is to affect in the same eX-

ourselves.

purely those of one devoted to what

TN the February Woman's Home
Companion writer says:
1T seems to me the old-fash-
ioned method of telling young people
that they were sure to know when

countable for good many false ideas
about love, as well as for a vast num-
ber of heartaches and unhappy mar
riages. Love, when it is referred to in
that way. seems like something
magic; something outside of all rea-
son and reckoning; something in the
order of the supernatural; gift

Now, when we have a very earnest
desire to understand music or paint

we study great music, famous paint

THE GERMAN VIEWPOINT

TIME German viewpoint is we'll
illustrated by the decision of the
Berlin authorities to keep AM
bassador Gerard in Germany until
satisfied as to the treatment of Count
Won Bernstorff by the American gov
ernment." This is the act of a guilty
conscience. Never in the history of
American diplomacy has there been
an instance of discourtesy toward any
well-behaved representative of a for
eign government. Won Bernstorff is
perfectly safe in the United States.
Nobody has any thought of disturbing
him so long as he attends to his own
affairs and nobody knows it better
than lie.
In this respect it may be said that
German citizens in the United States
! are much safer here than they would
be in their own land. Americans will
not disturb them nor will they he

as they elect to remain in the United
