ANOTHER DRAFT
BYLAIE AUTUMN
LOOKS PROBABLE

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 49,
Americas plans for participating in
the war unfolded rapidly today. These
things became known:
First-There will be a second draft
within a few months after the time
the first 625,000 conscripts are in the
training camps.
Second-Persliing's first division
will be reinforced Immediately by an
other large force Of picked troops, and
by September the first divisions OF
National Guardsmen will be moving
overseas.
Third - The New York National
Guard will be the first division OF
mflitiamen to go to Europe. They
will be followed by the men from I'LL
nois.
Indications today were that the sec
ond draft, now definitely decided upon
by the army authorities, will be made
not later than November. five months
hence. 1t will call probably for an
other 625, 900 men; possibly more, as
the general staff is now planning to
I'LL all vacancies caused by losses and
casualties through the draft. 1t may
be that 1000, 200 additional men will
be called to the colors, making 1926
600 before Christmas.
These men will be secured from
those not selected on the first draft.
II necessary, number exempted from
the first draft will be called.
BY spring, according to indications,
the United States will be represented
on the European battlefields by not
less than 100000 men, and by summer
the number probably will be in the
neighborhood Of q million.
The War Department selected the
New York and Illinois guardsmen as
the first troops Of that branch to go
to Europe for several reasons, It was
stated today. First, each state has
complete division and the men can
be moved as q unit. Secondly, the.
work Of the New York and Illinois
guardsmen on the border has satisfied
the army authorities that they have
sufficient groundwork for early ap-
pearance at the front. Also they can
be better spared than regulars needed
in this country for training the draft
army.

TRANSFERRED TO
COAST DEFENSE

SAN DIEGO, June 24.-Army or
ders, published here today. disclosed
the fact that Capt Herbert Dargue.
chief instructor of flying at the signal
corps aviation school on North Island,
had been taken from the aviation ser.
vice and ordered to duty with the sea
coast defenses Of San Francisco.
Captain Dargue, who is known as
the foremost night flier in the army,
and who has been on much active
duty with the army, was one Of the
central figures IN the controversy
which arose after the sensational
flight which Col. Harry Bishop and
Capt. W. A. Robertson. Jr, took last
January, starting for Imperial valley,
but alighting near the Gulf of Mexico,
and ending in a terrible journey afoot
for both before rescuers found them.
The controversy hinged on the au-
thority which the two officers had to
make the flight.
Captain Dargue was an aviator
with General Pershing's expedition in
Mexico and was lost for several days
In the Chihuahua desert, having been
forced to make a landing by motor
trouble. He underwent much suffer
ing then.
Both Colonel Bishop and Captain
Robertson have been exonerated for
their share in the January flight Cap
tain Robertson is In the aero service,
although not here. Colonel Bishop Is
still in the Letterman General Hos
pital at San Francisco, as the result
of the hardships he underwent In his
wanderings across the desert after
he and Robertson left their airplane

sTEELToN,s PROGRESS

CTEELTON has given another evil
y dence of its progressiveness by
deciding to spend $4,000 for
motorizing its fire department. The
borough plans to spend the money for
one service, one hose-chemica, and
two triple combination trucks, which
will give it ,fire-fighting equipment of
the most up-to-date type
Pole elimination in Front street is
also holding the attention of Council
and the Municipal League of the bor-
ough. Playground and park develop
ment, paving and extension of the do
mestic science work in the high school
are other things being pushed forward
steadily in the big mill town to the
south of the city.
Steelton is a neighbor of which any
city might well be proud. It's leaders
in civic development are men of large
vision and great foresight and it is
significant that they are making their
plans with the ultimate annexation OF
the town to this city in mind. Just
how near at hand the day of annexa-
ton may be is difficult to say but the
fact remains that Harrisburg and
Steelton are rapidly becoming more
and more one community. 1t may be
nearer than the most farsighted might
expect.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"Trash," Says Reader
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
1 am astonished at the editorial
praising President Wilson, entitled
"The Presidents Refusal You
should be ashamed to print such
trash" against the broad-minded peo-
pie who lead the world to-day. 1 am
satisfied your have nothing to sub
stantiate your base charges save your
own Imagination. You appear to have
suddenly entered into the English
channel of vituperative journalism.
Maybe you have one of the thirty
'Northcliffe" editors on your staff who
have been imported into the United
States during the present month, for
the purpose of whipping the Central
Powers with Printers ink"
Bear in mind that such poisonous
vaporings make no friends for Uncle
Sam among the great number of Aus
trians, Irish and Germans who live
among us. The principal successes
of the opponents of the Central Pow
ers, from the first day of the war,
have been lies. 10000 Germans
killed in their assault on Liege" was
the headline of the Washington
Star" the first day of the great war.
Just such (hate-producing) Rot"
printed by the subsidized, German
Batting" Allied Press, may draw us
into the terrible conflict" then what
not a friend in Mexico, the Jap
menace in the Pacific, nine out of ten
Canadians are no friends of ours Our
own National Administration is our
enemy; what does it do to ameliorate
the oppression produced by the fab
ulous prices for the most common ne
cessaries of life?
Food price investigations are order
ed, tedious process. An embargo
would solve the problem imm ediately,
That would not suit the gold-eaters.
We are blindly drifting toward revolu-
ton. Then when torn apart the
Lion" will benevolently assimilate us,
as it once did, leaving Spain do the

England steps in and takes the fruits

Rhymes From the Nursery
The Builder


I love to build a house of blocks,
A bridge or tower, forts or docks,
A tunnel, or a big long train,
That runs so fast DER hill or plain;
But just when / most get it done.
Baby comes along, and then there's
funi
At least HE thinks it fun; he kicks,
And pulls my towers down, and picks
My forts to pieces and my train
And 1 must build it up again!
Sometimes I get real cross at him,
I'd like to thrash the cherubim,
AS Daddy calls him in the night,
He's one angel child all right!
For when I've got my work most done,
tell you what it's not such fun
To have it spoiled; but Daddy says
When l complain "Some of these days
Someone will spoil your real true train
And you must build it UP again!"
I don't just know quite what he means
But he explained and so it seems:
When | grow up to be a man,
And plan q work so fine and grand
When / have almost got it done,
Some other fellow'll think 1t fun
To knock my dreams to smithereens!
Dad says Son, dream your building
dreams,
And learn of life with your block
To smile, and build it up againi"

sive, but not violently so.
From all accounts Representa-

election acts which the ProgresslVes
boosted so hard in 1918. A Nevin Det-
rich is said to be planning TO form a
combination to get action on some Oh

This is a Democratic view of the
legislative situation. 1t is from the
Scranton Times, the big Democratic
newspaper of northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, which is Democratic all or the
time. The Times says:
standing out prominently, as one
reviews the strenuous times that have
occurred since the biggest thorn in
the side of the administration made
its appearance in the Senate, several
weeks ago, is the important role
played by the Democrats in both ends
of the capitol. Ignored and passed up
entirely when the Legislature con-
vened in January, the members OF the
minority to-day can have anything for
the asking with the rival Republican
factions ready and willing to outbid
each other in their mad desire to con-
troll the situation.
If the Democrats but follow up their
we'll to date-there will be little in
the way of vicious legislation created
here this session. The vote on the
Sproul resolution in both the Senate
and the House demonstrated this: that
neither the men, who follow the lead
of Senator Boies Penrose nor the ad-
herents of the Governor can muster
sufficient votes to send a measure
through either branch without throw
ing ont an Sc o. s. in the direction
of the minority"
1t is interesting to note that IN
spite of the declaration of the Demo-
cratic national chairman that there
must be a probe two Democratic legis-
lators from what is considered his
principality voted in the negative.
They were Ramsey Black, of Harris
burg, who is understood to have been
swayed by certain labor conditions,
and III. C. Barner, Cumberland

for them will come from Market

NO HYSTERIA HERE
.HROUGHOUT the crisis with
Germany the people of the Unit
ed States baua dicnIavad con-


Germany the people of the Unit
ed States have displayed COM
mendable self-restraint and good
sense. There have been no mock
heroics, no hysteria and no general
condemnation of things German, such
as marked the opening of hostilities
in Europe.
The New York Symphony Orches-
ira in Chestnut street auditorium last
week varied it's program with classics
of German composition and the audi
ence expressed its delight quite as en-
Enthusiastically as it applauded the
Russian and other numbers. OF
course, this is as it should be. German
music is both masterful and appeal
ing. 1t has an excellence and a
charm all its own. It's characteristics
differ so remarkably from those at
tributed to Germany since the out
break of the war that one prefers to
judge the German people by their
music rather than by German mill
tary history.
Perhaps that is the view the
American public takes. At all events
} it is pleasing to note that our mis-
understanding with Germany has not
interfered with the American sense
of values and it has left people in
general unprecedented in their judg-
ments.

A Problem in Patriotism
[From the London Daily New,

lFrom the London Daily Newsl
A curious incident has happened in
connection with a recent performance
of Berlioz's Faust" in Paris. When
1t was announced the veteran Saint
Saens-to whose name be all honor
wrote vigorous plea for the elimina-
ton from the score, both now and al
ways, of the Hungarian March, on pa
triotic grounds. In the discussion
which naturally ensued it was respect
fully pointed out that the great COM
poser, in pleading for one act of pa
triotism, was really advocating some
thing quite unpatriotic-the mutila-
ton of q great French masterpiece.
1t was said that even If Saint-Saens
himself were to write something to
fill the gap, which would be the best
solution-the objection would still
hold
