First Annual Dinner
of the Commonweal Club

The first annual dinner of the Com
monweal Club was held last evening
in the Y. w c. A. with over a hundred
in attendance. Miss Edna S. Kugler,
the president, presided and Miss Ella
Yost led the singing. The toastmis-
tress was Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones.
Miss Mary Snyder spoke on THE
Commonweal-What 1t Should Mean
To Us; Miss Rachel Staples spoke
on Our Open Door; Mrs. Jones on
Loyalty to Our Club" and Miss Syl-
vania Nagle on THE Clubs of the
Y. w. c. Al
Following the dinner, Deputy At
torney General Emerson Collins lee
tured on The War as We See 1t
Now. Mr.. Collins said: This war
has robbed militarism of all its ro-
nance and glamor. The general no
longer rides at the head of the column
and leads his troops to victory. In
stead of one-man control, the army
is directed by a staff miles away in a
central position and with telephones,
veyed. The airship is chiefly respons-
ible for this change. Napoleon was
able to surprise the enemy again and
again and gain his victories but that
cannot be done now for each COM
batant has fleet of airships and
movements on both sides are always
known. The question of to-day Is
which side will hold out the longest
which is wiling to give man for man
Effective peace must be just When
the victor demands unfair returns
there will only remain rancor and
hate and the vanquished will remain
quiet only long enough to gather suf-
lficient strength to assert themselves
lagain."

DIR. BECHT SPEAKS
ON AMERICANISM
Citizens Must Learn That Their
Liberty Must Be Liberty
Under the Law

The new American spirit stands not
for the elimination of whatever has
not been produced on American soil,
but rather welcomes the best of the
culture, the arts and the crafts of the
old world, that through the process of
education and training these may be
incorporated into our life and thus we
may be enriched with this spiritual in
heritance-the spirit speaking out
! from the great heart of humanity"
DR.. ]. George Becht, secretary of the
state Board of Education. in his dis
cussion of "Americanism" before the
Harrisburg Civic Club yesterday after
noon also said Every third person in
the United States is either foreign born
or OF foreign parentage" and that fifty
different languages are spoken by this
! alien folk. Over a thousand news
| papers in the United States are printed
1 IN thtrty-one languages other than
English, and while they are American
in spirit, their chief items are news of
the Fatherland, keeping the alien in
touch and sympathy with his native
THE adult foreigner must be pre-
pared for citizenship no less than his
cnlldren and even greater is his neces-
sity for special training. The school
for the adult is becoming to be as
much part of public education as the
that every recitation constitutes a les
son in citizenship and that there is an
arithmetic of character, q geography
OF character, as we'll as the ethics of
character. There is no branch of study
that will not lend itself to training for
civic righteousness and civic efficiency.
Children must be helped to think
through the problems of the COM
munity and the relationships of the
individual to the social group to which
he belongs as we'll as to the civic
center, and the alien as we'll as the
native American needs to be instructed
in the limitations of liberty. He must
learn that his liberty must be liberty
under the law.
The problem of democracy is How

dously potent forces of human life
that are everywhere about u.s."
Atterward the question of bread

Much of Interest in
the Central High Notes

Beginning last evening the Junior
Boys Glee Club met for practice on
Monday. The Senior Boys Club prac-
tice evening has been changed to
Tuesday. This will be a permanent
change, as other activities concern
ing the school will then harmonic
as we'll as possible considering condi-
tions which exist. Prof. b. G. Rose
directs both of these musical organiz-
ations. as well as the girls clubs, and
they are making rapid progress. The
Junior Boys Glee Club numbers about
eighteen students and last evenings
practice was most successful. They
are trying various difficult numbers
including many classical selections
that are especially adapted to male
voices.
The Mandolin Club met last even
ing for practice at the home of Ken
meth Downes, 1911 North Second
street. Paul Selsam. Leon Simonetti,
Emory Hartman, Blair Smith, Elwood
Deepen, Kenneth Downes, and 9TH
ers attended.
President Blair f. Smith, of the
Centralians, states the next meeting
will be held on Thursday January 25
at the home of George Pavord, 1914
State street. The secretary requests
every member to help him have a per-
feet rollcaH as many important mat
ters will be brought up, one of the
minor ones even being the election of
officers for the coming Centralian
term.
The Rho Section is still leading in
the contributions for the City Library
Life Membership Fund. There is
speculation as to whether the Seniors
are going to allow this Junior section
to lead them continually.
The Central High five defeating the
Harrisburg Academy quintet last Fri
day was composed of men who were
all on the varsity football squad this
Fa1. Chances are that if they keep
playing at the speed displayed last
week, Blue and Gray fans will have
the pleasure of cheering another
championship team and with familiar
faces at the different positions. The
Academy game was the first on High
Schools schedule.
Rumors are afloat among several
musicians at Central of new orches-
ira springing up, perhaps under the
name of the Blue and Gray. In case
this should happen the new organiza-
ton would probably be under strictly
student government, and as there are
quite number of talented musicians
at Central now that are not in any
organization a new orchestra would
probably be very successful as well as
efficient.

tine, the British advance indicates in
the near future the realization Of
some modified <orm of a national
ideal which most Jews have held dear
for centuries.
"Of the two events, the revolution
IN Russia is much the more important
development so far as Jews are con-
cerned. for il applies to 100000 OF
NY race. Nothing like this number
could possibly be affected by the ma
turing of the Palestine ideaE
with the advent Of a liberal re-
CINE in Russia, the sentiment OF
America has changed. and Jewish in
fiuence, which was exerted on the
side of anti-Russian feeling in
America, is now pro-RussiOn-a very
remarkable but quite natural trans
formation

All Austria knew that the former
commander in chief would be fired
and everybody was glad, but the pa

years old, entered the army at the
age Of 10, and had a very rapid rise,

capable men. he insisted on directing
the military operations personally and
continually upset the plans OF Gen.
