OUR CHILDREN

"To the men who are represent
ing this country in the Senate, the
House of Representatives and the
various departments of government:
These be our children you are
taking from US. The cause is just. 1t
is only right that they should go.
But although they are but units to
you, to us they are life itself There
fore:
What will you do for them when
they have gone out to fight?
Will you give them time to
train or are you going to send them,
undisciplined. against the most high
ly trained fighting men in the world =?
We are giving everything we
have. You are talking to us about
conservation of food. What are you
doing to conserve the lives we are
putting in your hands?
"'Are you ready to give orr boys
n fair chance?
That is not only n question. 1t
is a prayer for all the mothers of
this country.
Surely, dear God. it is not too
much to ask"
Mary, Roberts Rinehart.

his opinion, but when we have once
come to a conclusion the suddenness
with which we put our plans into
execution is amazing to the foreign
observer.
All this is pleasing to us as n
people, and will be good news to
England. But the impression upon
the German war council will be any
thing but either of those. These
smashing articles from the pen OF
Northcliffe are equal to an army
corps of Americans on the French
front. They will cause lot of think
ing in German imperial circles of the
kind that will tend tremendously
toward peace.

FOOD SUPPLIES

The Department of Agriculture
auth orizes the following:
There is no truth in widely cir
culated statement that the govern
ment expects TO take food supplies
from any family. Both the Food
Administration and the Department
of Agriculture Join in statement
to counteract what seems to be a
deliberate propaganda to the effect
that the government intends to take
from every family all canned goods
put up in excess of 100 quarts.
This is only. one of the variations
of the rumor, which has heen wide-
ly circulated. Another statement is
that the government has been urging
the canning. drying. and preserving
of fruits and vegetables so thet they
will be in convenient form for the
government to handle and transport
when it takes them away from the
people. Further elaboration is that
these goods are to be taken away
from the American homes and
shipped to England.

Sweepingly Republican

HAT Dauphin county is over
whelmingly Republican in sem
timent this fall is the one big
fact that stands out clearly and dell
nitely from the tumble of yesterday S
primary election returns. Early pre-
dictions of a sweeping victory for the
Republican party in November are
amply borne out by the vote rolled
UP in both city and county for Re-
publican candidates.
Take for example the coronership
contest There were two candidates
on the Republican ticket and two on
the Democratic side. On both sides
the campaign was sharp. In the
city, where complete figures were at
hand when this was written, the total
Republican vote for coroner was
6,S94, while the total Democratic
vote amounted to only 1901, indi-
eating that 5,693 more Republicans
voted at the primary elections in
Harrisburg than there were Demo-
Gratis at the polls. Indications are
that complete figures from the county
will show an even greater difference
in numbers. If primary results go
for anything, not a single Democrat
will have a chance at the November
elections and the campaign is over
before it is begun.
Even on the nonpartisan ticket,
where at least on the Republican side
no attempt was made to stick to
party lines, six of the eight nomi-
mated as candidates for full term as
councilmen are Republicans. The
same overwhelmingly Republican
sentiment resulted also in the nomi-
nation of two Republicans for mayor,
a condition unknown heretofore in
the history of the city. Even w. L.
Gorgas, an admittedly strong Demo-
crat, twice elected to Council, went
down to defeat in the Republican
landslide of votes for mayor.
And finally, men of all parties
united in giving Judge S. j. NJ.
McCarrell, before his elevation to the
bench a Republican leader of years
standing, an unopposed denomination
which assures his election in Novem-
her as the only candidate on the
ticket by practically unanimous
vote.
There can be but one reason for
this. Republicans must be satisfied
with the conduct of county offices,
practically all of which are in Re-
publican hands. or nominations as
! important as that for county con-
truller would not have fallen without
opposition to the present incumbents.
In the past when party mismanage-
ment has disgruntled the voters or
when improper men have found their
way into office, the result has been a
party upheaval and sometimes the
election of Democrats in a county
that is normally Republican by large
majorities. That this condition does
not exist to-day is evident from a
study of yesterdays primary returns.
Dauphin county presents a Repub-
lican ticket that will be elected by
overwhelming majorities in Novem-
ber and Republicans of both city and
county districts stand united, with
ranks unbroken, fully prepared for
the shock of the gubernatorial battle
next year.

Wilson is expected to outline real
status Of relations between United
States and Germany within "a hours
as his next immediate step in pre-

A state of war now exists between
United States and imperial German
government, it is taken for granted.
There are few who believe. president

first utterance.
Complete proof of Germany's bold
affronts on high seas is now before
this government - an imposing ar
ray Of war acts against the United
States. Toll in two weeks amounts
to four American ships and more
than score of American lives sacTi-
feed through utter disregard of the
rights of this country.
From all over country kilograms
today continued to pour into White
House demanding war. Pacifsts, for
first time since break in diplomatic
relations, are conspicuously silent
or are admitting that end of patience
has been reached.
