THE PROPER VIEW POINT

A N editor of a paper printed in

language has been arrested for
declaring that General Pershing has
done nothing to mark him as a great
general. Too bad the editor couldn't
be placed within the German lines
before Pershings troops make their
first attack upon the enemy. He
might get different view of Persh-
ing's ability.

THE ARNOLD SURVEY


- no small pleasure in the repor
of Bion ]. Arnold's survey of tn,
street car situation in HARRISBURG
and vicinity. The Arnold survey wa.
made upon the suggestion of thi.
newspaper in a series of editorials
and news articles published last win.
ter. 1t comes at particularly propi.
tious moment, when the Railways
Company and the Public Service
Commission are jointly considering
ways and means of improving and
extending the street car service OF
Harrisburg. 1t is a fine, constructive
| piece of work and will be of vast
| interest and Importance in working
out the plans of the company and
the commission during the series OF
conferences that have been arranged.
That Mr.. Arnold and the Public
Service Commission agree in their
more important recommendations
and suggestions for changes and bet
judgment of both and a very for
tunate circumstance in that it will
aid vastly in arriving at conclusions
agreeable both to the company and
the State authorities. This harmony
of expert opinion will do much also
to inspire public confidence in the
wisdom and necessity of the traffic
revisions and extensions recon-
mended.
The Arnold report is a comprehen-
sive document, looking to the far
future as we'll as to present needs.
A careful study of its findings will
impress the reader with the COM
plexities of street car operations and
their tremendous influence upon a
proper development of the city. The
ramifications of trolley transpor-
tation extend even to the location of
railroad passenger stations, the
widening of streets, the construction
of subways and the change of pro-
posed bridge and viaduct locations.
Mr.. Arnold's Investigations lead far
from the main subject of street car
traffic conditions, but every phase
of his report has a direct bearing
upon the main topic and merits care
full consideration.
Time was when the street car
system of Harrisburg amounted to
little more than a series of tracks
leading from one part of town to an
other. But with the growth of the
city and with prospects bright for
big increase of population in the
near future, the street car problem
takes on vastly different aspect, and,
as Mr.. Arnold points out, must be con-
sidered with relation to many other
lines of municipal development. The
survey has brought out precisely
what the Telegraph believed it would
that immediate improvement of
street car conditions is possible at a
cost that will not be prohibitive, and
it has given those who must direct
the affairs of the company a compre-
hensive outline upon which to base
their plans for extension and de-
velopment with the growth of the
city

Washington, Feb. 22-The Austrian
American situation held the center Of
the international war stage today. The
climax of this silent drama which has
been going on since the diplomatic
break with Germany is apparently al
hand.
Within forty-eight hours, it is gen.
orally believed, the U. S. government
win know whether the scope of its sew
cred relations is to be extended to
Austria. The state department and
White House say nothing about what
is going on behind the scenes. When
the curtain falls, however, Qne 9f the
most dramatic and interesting stories
in the worlds history will be written
"a story of one great nation struggling
to restrict the extensioh Uf a great war
and another nation trying at once to
please a powerful friend and at the
same to support an ally.
What has transpired between the
United States government and Austria
during the last eighteen days. the state
department does not say Austria is
portrayed, however, as struggling hard
to prevent the threatened break. That
she must support the German decree
is feared by officials here and should
she do this, it is taken for granted that
President Wilson will Immediately or.
der passports for the Austrian repre-
sentative here and at the same time
order the withdraway Of Ambassador
Penfield from Vienna. 1t is felt certain
that a break with the other Teutonic
allies would shortly follow.
While the great pantomime goes for
ward time is allowed for the movement
of Americans from the Central Power
countries.
