BUYING OUR BONDS

TIME government is about to float
an immense issue of war bonds.
1t will constitute the first OF
issues of the kind in this country, but
probably not the last. The bonds will
be of small denominations, so that
even persons of limited means may
subscribe. There is no question as
to the desire of Americans to "do their
bit" in this way toward financing the
war, and doubtless they will come
forward as they have done before.
For example, there are some 35,100,-
900 savers among the Teutonic allies
Their total of savings runs far ahead
of the sum in the savings banks of the
entente allies. AS compared with S4,-
100000 to the credit of the thrifty
of England, France, Italy, Russia and
Japan, the three Teutonic races have
just about $1,000. 100000 tucked
away in government and private saw.

We, in America, have about II ,000,-
600 savings bank depositors, and they
own just over $4,000. 100000 of saw
ings-enough to give about $50 tc
every inhabitant. When we throw
our financial weight with the countries
lined up against Germany, the balance
will turn, and against $1,000, 900, ,00(

Highest Peaks Never Scaled
(From the Scientific. American)


At recent meeting of the Royal
Geographical Society, DIR. A. NJ. Kellas
presented an elaborate discussion of
the question whether it is possible for
well-trained mountaineers to ascend to
the SUBMITS OF the loftier peaks of the
Himalaya Mountains more than $4,000
feet in altitude none of which has so
far been climbed.
taineerng is $4,000 feet. by the Duke
of the Abruzzi's expedition to the Kar-
akoram. 1909. The altitude of the high
est mountain in the Himalay and in the
world-Everest--is 29,141 feet. At that
height the barometric pressure and the
oxygen supply is only about one third
as great as at sea level.
The experiences of balloonists is not
conclusive as to the physiological diff
culties of such an ascent, because the
rapid rise OF a balloon does not give
the aeronaut time to become acclima-
tized to great attitudes. On the basis
of a large amount OF data Doctor Kel-
las (himself an experienced mountain
eer) expresses the opinion that a man
in first rate training, acclimatized to
maximum possible altitude, could make
the ascent to Mount Everest, provided
the physical diffculties are not insu-
perable..
A supply of sodium peroxide, to pro-
vide oxygen as an occasional refresh
ment would be of much assistance. At
present one of the physical" difficult
ties Of ascending Everest is the fact
that the government of India will not
let travellers approach within one hun
dred miles of the mountain.

TRIBUTE TO MIR. ROOSEVELT
FROM AN OLD FOE
Another Famous Colonel, Watterson of Kentucky,
Wants to See Him Garry the Flag Across the Rhine

Wayward, headstrong, upright, re-
sourceful, lovable-with talents to
burn and a genius for getting there
in this dire emergency he becomes a
national-an international asset.
1t is of supreme import that we
strike the European situation while
the iron is hot-that we do not let 1T
cool-that we do not allow the oppor-
tunity, the psychic moment, to pass.
At longe range we shall come down
with the stamps; at short range help
to clear the sea lanes. But some
thing visible must go to the 'front.'
must go at once-the shine of Yankee
steel, the CLINT of the Stars and
Stripes.
The President is a man of imagina-
ton. He is largely possessed of the
initiative. In this war he will have to
originate many things-maybe break
many precedents. He must look to
the spiritual and spectacular as we'll
as the physical. He knows that what
we are here saying is true and we
take it for granted that he is consid-
ering how it may be made effectual.
There is inspiration in the pic
turesque. The commonplace of the
soldiers duty-the humdrum of his
technical routine-even martial or
ganization and discipline-yield' before
the actualities, the startling evolutions
of war. What was Bedford Forrest
but a military paradox? What was
Grant but a prodigy? At first they
said Sherman was crazy.

Corkscrew Losing It's pull"
(Collier's Weekly

At the annual dinner of the National
Retail Dry Goods Association, former
Congressman Frederick lands of In
diana summed up the whole thing in a
semihumorous but wholly real speech
as follows:
The corkscrew is losing it's pull,
and it's good-by America. Think of the
straitjackets made obsolete; padded
cells empty, insane asylum and prison
forces thrown out of work! Shall we
strike at the divorce lawyer. and shall
We confscate tuberculosis?
Then, too, universal prohibition
would put our steel industry out of
business with no demand for handouts,
jimmies, blackjacks, prison bars and
the like. And what of the glass indus
try? What of the embottled hosts and
of gamblers, reduced not only to want
but to work? Think of the change on
Saturday night when the head of the
family comes home on his feet instead
of drifting in on the tide. and think
of the sitting room of the future, no.
body throwing anything or upsetting
the lamp. Then again, think of watch
ing the old year out and the new year
in, sober. This is a situation to en-
gage your most earnest attention"

critic asks. that was erstwhile so sure

the Courier-J ournal, unabashed, an
swered with cheerful alacrity "the
same"
There are many things twixt heaven
and earth not dreamed of in IAN old
subscribers" philosophy, which the
same well proceed to explain"
In the first place the Courier-Jour-
nal has had no change of heart with
respect to Theodore Roosevelt. 1t has
always loved him. Brutus loved not
Caesar more. IF there be any dear
friend of Caesars, to him I say that
Brutus' love for Caesar was no less
than his. If, then, that friend should
demand why Brutus rose against
Caesar, this Is my answer; not that
loved Caesar less but that / loved
Rome more. AS Caesar loved me,
weep for him; as he was fortunate, I
rejoice; as he was valiant, L honor
him; but as he was ambitious, I slew
him." In other words, when Teddy
was right we praised him, and when
he went wrong we lammed him, never
lick amiss or below the belt nor a
word writ down in malice!
Caesar being dead, Brutus wept for
him. Happily, in the case of Theodore
Roosevelt there is no occasion for the
Courier-Journal to weep. He is yet in
the land of the living and very much
alive. The dagger with which the
! Courier-Journal so often laid him low
was never a poisoned dagger. It's
! blade where il cut at all went little
deeper than the cloth of his coat. Not
infrequently he was able to parry the
blow, for he is very dexterous. And
crafty-la, how crafty! In short the
| Courier-J Journal, jealous for the liber-
| ties of its country and holding men in
power ever to rigorous accounta-
bility, intended merely to warn the
people against the menace of friend

Roosevelt from himself. The issue

wholly unsuccessful.
(Now? That is quite another breed
of dogs! Woody will take no risk in
giving Teddy a chance! Congress
need not fear an enabling act If one
be requisite. Even the General Staff

Theodore Roosevelt as General of Di-

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL is
MAYOR MEALS
T\HOUSANDs of Harrisburg peo.

T\HOUSANDS of Harrisburg peo-
pie will mourn the death of
Mayor Meals. 1t is doubtful if
any man in local political life in re-
cent years has attained the personal
popularity that took him to the
School Board as often as he chose to
go, to the Legislature for one term
and twice made him Mayor of Har-
risburg. The fact that he was nomi-
mated for his last term by a SO per
cent. vote of all the registered cleo
tors of the city is ample proof of the
hold he had upon his fellow towns
men.
DR.. Meals made his friends in the
sickrooms of rich and poor alike. His
services as physician were freely given
always, and it was never a question
of pay. At the end of every year, it
is said, he crossed from his books ac-
counts far in excess of those he col
lected, because he felt that to enforce
pay would work a hardship upon
those already handicapped by power
ty and the misfortune of sickness in
the family. Consequently, when he
aspired to Office he was richly re-
warded by the votes of those who had
enjoyed his benefactions and beside
whose beds of illness he had minis
tered.
Mayor Meals made gallant fight
for life in his last illness. His indom-
liable spirit was the marvel of his
friends and the hope of his physicians.
AS late as last Sunday he was conf
dent of recovery and was planning
for the future. His last official act
was the framing of a proclamation
TO the people of the city requesting
that they join together heartily for
the observance of next Saturday as
Patriotic Day in Harrisburg. To few
public officials does it come to so
fittingly close a long public career.

it is the saved coin of the people
which is expected to buy the victory.
OF all the warning countries. France
has probably met the financial strain
of the war with the least effort.
Why?
The explanation lies in the long
training of the French not only in saw
ing, but in investment in government
bonds (rentes). 1t was estimated
that before the war began, more than
100000 French men and women
owned 3'per cent. rentes; and, of
course, the number who have bought
pieces of government loans since the
war began have greatly increased
probably doubled. No special "whirl-
wind" campaign has been necessary to
induce Frances thrifty money-savers
to invest in new issues
The other day, the treasurer of the

Such stores, he said. would afford a
means of reaching millions of people
who would purchase more willingly
through such sources than any other"
Without question, if a war loan or
other governmental securities, such as
State, county or municipal bonds, are
issued in small denominations, the
stores would be able to sell great num-
bers-and lead the way to the sort
of thrift education so common in
France.
Why we must buy these bonds was
ably set forth in an article on this
