will be the luncheon speaker. of the
Chamber of Commerce at the Har-

will discuss the political situation in
Russia in reference to its relations
with the United States.
Professor Shatzky comes to us with
the reputation of a gifted speaker
and Just now what he may have to
say regarding the Russian crisis will
be we'll worth hearing. He has been
associated with the leaders of Rus

that country. At the same time A. j.

Russian ministry of finance. will
speak on questions developed by

No other business organization in

promises to be of unusual interest.

Send Them to College
To the Editor of the Telegraph:


In this national crisis there is a
matter which should, l think, be
brought very forcibly to the atten-
tlon OF the American people, be-
cause in the stress of present ext
gency 1T is likely to be overlooked or
sighted.
Two problems arise out of the
present state of national affairs.
First, how shall we as a nation best
prepare ourselves to accomplish in
the most competent manner the try
ing business which we have set out
to accomplish? This is q problem,
of course, which the Federal au-
thorities must solve and are solving.
And the solution of it involves the
taking of an army of our ablest
young men to fight the nations bat
ties. Many of these young men, a
great many OF them, have recently
graduated from our colleges, or have
left the college halls to join the ma
tional fighting forces.
Thence arises our second problem.
If we believe in the efficacy of the
American college for efficiency in
government in business, an art; if
we believe that it really is a vital
force in moulding the solidarity and
permanence and we'll being of our
nation; if we believe that our ma
tlonal affairs must be handled in
the future, as in the present and
past, mainly at least, by our college
trained men, the problem at this
time becomes very acute. How shall
we prepare ourselves with men of
college training who can meet most
efficiently the perplexities which
peace, when it comes, will bring
with it?
The college ranks are now de-
pleted, so that colleges are Obliged
to make the greatest retrenchments.
Unless young men, the boys who are
this year leaving our high schools
and preparatory schools, respond AT
least as well as they have in the
past, many of our smaller colleges
must go out of existence. Several
years OF inanition will take the life
entirely out of them. 1t seems to
me, therefore, a matter of the nj
most national importance that the
pubic press urge with the great
est earnestness that the fathers and
mothers of these boys send them tc

sacrifice may be. 1t is surely our
| highest patriotic duty to do what
we can to see to it that when one

one years of age leaves to fight and
perhaps die for his country, his
brother under twenty-one years Of
age should prepare himself to sta,

latter is preparing for Just as nobl,
a service as the former.

Keep On Smiling

lFrom the Kansas City Times.1
1t has been suggested in this coun-
try that the press and platform con-
fine themselves to serious things:
that anything with a smile in it sbe

carnage and privation of war. II
is pointed out that Paderewski has
ceased to play his beloved instru-
ment because of the suffering and
despair in his native Poland. Harry
Lauder, whose son, serving in a
scotch regiment, gave his life for
Britain. has stopped making people
laugh and now is preaching to them.

TROUSERS SUBSTITUTES

IN to take the shirts off our

London that the kilt is being SER

good old-fashioned pants" kits
are cross between an Atlantic
coast feminine bathing suit and a
kitchen apron, resembling both and
possessing none of the beauties or
comforts of either. They were in

first wore them. it is understood,
was dragged into police court for ap-
pearing on the streets without prop
er clothing and passed away at an
early age in a madhouse of rheuma-
tism in the knees. Since that time
kits have been carefully confined to
Scotland, being smuggled out occa-
sionally by some such distinguished
citizen as Andrew Carnegie and GO
ing back again without having made
anything like favorable impression
elsewhere. Not even such a popu-
lar gentleman as Harry Lauder could
put over" fad for kits in Ameri-
ca.

THE FOURTH OF JULY

lVXTHAT is Harrisburg going to
W. do about Fourth of July
celebration?
So far as the public knows moth
ing whatsoever has been done look
ing toward a proper observance OF
the day in this city.
It would be out of place, under
the circumstances, to indulge in a
hip-hooray and tiger jubilation
such as used to mark the day. The
times are too frought with serious
ness for that. Too many of our
young men are soon to march away
to the hardships and uncertainties
of war to permit anything like fri
volity or boisterousness to have a
part in the days observances. But
since we have dedicated ourselves
anew to battle for the principles set
forth in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence 1t would be unseemly If
the anniversary of the signing of
that immortal document should be
permitted to pass without some rec
ognition of the event.
If 1t be no more than community
singing of patriotic airs at Reser-
voir Park, a patriotic band concert
and the reading of the Declaration,
at least we should have that.
The Fourth of July must not be
to pass without public rec
ognition of the holiday in Harris
burg.

THE dope" HOSPITAL BILL

TIME Legislature will be called
upon this week to pass upon
the Ware bill, one of the provi-
sions of which is the establishment
of a hospital for the treatment of
dope flends." There are many of
these unfortunates in Pennsylvania,
despite the restrictions placed upon
the sale of narcotics by federal law.
There will be many more until the
use of drugs is stamped out by
thorough police regulations such as
Senator Ware and others in the Leg
islature propose as supplements to
the national statutes. Relief is not
in the immediate future.
The hospital proposed is needed
both for the treatment of men and
women now addicted to the habit
and as a means of helping to break
up the traffic, for it is notorious
that the vice is spread by "hends''
who deliberately teach others the
habit.
Many men and women now suffer-
ing the tortures of the damned might
be saved and transformed into use
full individuals by treatment in such
a hospital as is proposed.

The first issue of bonds-$2,OO0,-

We are trying to spread the pay
ment for the bonds over as large a
period as possible so that there shall

are going to redeposit the proceeds
in the banks upon some equitable
plan so that there shall be no inter
ference with business. This money
