HAVING A GOOD TIME

Speaking at a political gathering
Representative Charles A. Kennedy,
of Iowa. referred to the good times
enjoyed by the little folk, and ap-
propriately recalled the following
story,
Rambling through a park, one aft
ernoon, man took a seat on one of
the benches, and while in this restful
position he noticed a small boy lying
on the grass close by. A short dis
tance away several children of the
boys age were happily at play.
What's the matter, young man."
he kindly asked. why don't you
play with the other children?"
''I don't want to play" answered
the boy, with his eyes steadily fixed
on the questioner. I'm having a
good time here"
But why don't you want to play?'
persisted the man. 1T isn't natural
for a boy of your age to be quiet"
I'm just waitin'," was the start
ling response of the youngster. "A
feller painted that bench about fif-
teen minutes ago.. and 1 want to see
you get up."-Philadelphia Tele-
graph.

MIR. FRosTS ADDRESS

" He Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce is to be thanked for the
opportunity it afforded the large
audience that gathered last night in
Chestrfht street auditorium to hear
Wesley Frost, United States consul
at Queenstown, Ireland, who came
here, under the auspices of the
Chamber, to tell of German sub
marine horrors as he witnessed them.
If any man present doubted when he
went the wisdom of going to war for
the purpose of wiping out a power as
ruthlessly and as wantonly used as
that of the present German govern
ment, he must have left the hall fully
convinced that what we are doing is
absolutely necessary.
Mr.. Frost was at Queenstown when
the survivors of the Lusitania land
ed there. The survivors of more than
eighty other horrors of the kind also
filed sworn statements of their ex-
periences with him. Mr.. Frost went
into the war a confirmed pacifist.
What he has seen and heard has con-
vinced him that Prussianism and
Americanism cannot both live in the
world, that this is our war" and that
we must win it.
President Tracy said that the
Chamber had given most of its ef-
forts the past year to war work and
that it ought to devote itself ex-
clusively to that end the coming year.
With that every Harrisburger will
agree. our young men have gone
to the training camps and the
trenches. We have given what the
government asked for their support
We must now turn our attention 10
other levies-the welfare and COM
fort of our soldiers, for example, and
in this and other great movements
the Chamber of Commerce can be
as it has been in the past, a mighty
influence for success.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

To tic Editor of the Telegraph:
L was pleased to note the turnout

burg Monday evening. 1t speaks
well for the spirit of the community.
wish l could say as much for the
tratfic regulations, especially North
and South Front street, where one of
the divisions formed about 8 d. m.
the starting time. These streets were
blocked and jammed with autos,
wagons, ETC., that it was practically
impossible for the different march
ing organizations to get through.
A traffic policeman stationed at
these points would have prevented
this. Also the street should have
been closed to such traffic until
arter the start of the parade.
desire to pay tribute to one of
the Boy Scouts organizations. I do
not wonder at the efficiency of these
organizations after witnessing a dis
play of quick-thinking ability by one
OF the heads of Boy Scout com pany
just before the time for starting the
parade. South Front street was so
packed with intermingled traffic that
the marching organizations were
completely blocked. A Scout troop
carrying a guidon designating them
as Stevens Guards Troop attempted
to wheel into line from Chestnut
street butwas unable to do so by rea-
son of the iumbling of autos. / was
standing at that point. The leader
OF the troop, whom am sorry to say
/ do not know, halted his troop and
walking out acted as a traffic guide.
and in less than no time had the
street cleared of traffic, doing il
as well as any traffic policeman
could possibly have. More power to
these boys and their leaders. Yours
very truly, J.. w. BARROW.

BoRoUGHs AND RoAD LAWS

HNI1L OPINION oil Deputy Attorney
General William II. Keller in
deciding several questions which
have arisen in the effort of State
Highway Commissioner j. Denny
O'Neil to get a score or more of bor-
oughs to improve streets which are
on the line of State Highways, ought
to facilitate street paving agree
ments. Mr.. Keller has been giving
close attention to the States high
way laws the last three years and is
probably the best informed man in
Pennsylvania on what they contain
and what they mean. His conclu-
sions in former mooted. questions
have been sustained and have been
found to work out on practical lines.
Mr.. Keller finds that the State
must act on n contract basis and
that while it may not contribute to
cost of work when done by a bor-
ough it may pay share when the
borough is a contractor and gets an
award in open bidding. Where a
highway has been improved and al
lowed to run down the State may
cooperate with the borough, if the
{ road was not originally improved on
State specifications, but if it was re-
constructed with State aid it is for
the municipality to maintain and to
maintain properly.
Similarly, his finding that n bor-
ough cannot assess in order TO
secure State aid in bettering a high
way the abutting property owners
of which have once paid for a per-
manent improvement is in harmony
with high court decisions and, as in
the other cases, will bring certain
borough fathers to realization that
they must act for all their people
and not cortrive to obtain recon-
struction at expense of a few when
1t should Doe assessed against all.
There will probably be more ques-
tions raised. some in a quibbling
spirit, by boroushs, but the time is
coming when the smaller munich
palit.cs must recognize that they
owe a duty to the general public
and join in with the Commonwealth
TO make highways not only continu-
Gus, but continuously good.

SUPREME CELEBRITY

| A ,LTHOUGH the Supreme Cour
~ of Pennsylvania appears to hav'
acted with startling rapidity IL
deciding the appeal which gave the
Town Meeting party right to coun
cilmanic candidates in two of the
independent wards of Philadelphia
yesterday, little fault can be found
either with the speed in determining
the case or the finding. The action
of the court is wholesome in more
ways than one.
In the first place, if there was
ever a time when a court was called
upon to make a quick decision II
was in the Philadelphia case. The
election is less than a week away
and if the justices had delayed until
to-day it might have made serious
trouble in the printing of the bal
lots, because the nominations in
more than one big ward the size OF
some of the larger Pennsylvania
boroughs were involved. The action
of the court will be popular be-
cause of commendable promptness
in disposing of question which had
attracted Statewide attention.
When it comes to the second
proposition, the right of a new party
to name candidates or to endorse
men already candidates, to deny
would not have been in Iine with the
spirit of American elections. The
whole idea of primary laws has
been to secure adherence to speci.
fled methods, leaving the way open
for just such popular movements as
have taken place in Philadelphia

might be called cumulative nomina.

North Sea Versus Mediterranean


The war which General Sarrail is
conducting on the military front
here is not the only warfare going
on in this part of the world. Among
the diplomats and officials who cir
culate here, Athens, Paris, Rome and
London, 1t is recognized that there
is another and larger struggle in
progress than the one on the front
as it involves the commercial and
economic supremacy of the Mediter-
ranean and it's. great ports-Mar-
seilles, Genoa. Triest and Saloniki-
as against the supremacy of the
North Sea and its great commercial
cities, Hamburg and Bremen.
To the United States this struggle
is said to have a special interest, fol-
the Mediterranean is but an extern
sion or arm of the Atlantic through
which the United States can take
part in the future commerce of the
Mediterranean, including Southern
Europe, Northern Africa and West
ern Asia. b;
Until the war began the North
Sea and it's ports had established
undisputed supremacy in the "com-
mercial penetration" of Europe. II
was the distributing point not only
for Northern Europe, but also for
Southern Europe way down to the
Mediterranean, which latter was
quite unnatural. The Mediterranean
had almost ceased to be an avenue
of supply for its own section OF
Southern Europe.
1t is to reverse this domination OF
the North Sea and it's ports, and re-
store the supremacy OF the Mediter-
ranean basin, that this economic
struggle is now going on all the way
from Saloniki to Calais. The mod
ern administration of European gov
ernments has now taken the place OF
barbarism all along the northern
coast from Egypt and Tripoli to Mo-
rocco. Thus for the first time, the
! Mediterranean is elrcircled by mod
ern rule and the facilities of modern
trade opening a new and vast field
OF commerce which should particu-
larly appeal to the United States in
the commercial extensions after the
war.
The part the four great Mediter-
ranean cities have taken in this
struggle will come out more fully
after the war. 1t will then be dis
closed that one of the main causes
for ltaly's entering the war was to
throw off the domination which the
North Sea cities had secured over

The sun and the stars in the heavens
United in radiance shine:
Their light like a mantle of glory
Descends as a blessing divine.
Let the nations whose banners are
waving
The sign of the stars and the sun,
Give light to the earth and it's people,
United in purpose as one.
Hurrah for the sun and the stars!

Inscribed on the skies it is writ
ten,
The Heart of the nations is

Though clouds in their darkness may
gather.
And ages in turn pass away,
Unaltered as laws of creation,
The lights of the armament stay.
Let the nations whose banners are
waving
These emblems of beauty and
light,
Stand firm for protection united,
AS follow the day and the night.
Hurrah for the sun and the stars
Banzai for the stars and the
sun!
Deep down in all hearts it is
written,
The Life of the nations is one.
Though language and customs may
differ,
Though kingdoms their courses
have run,
Though races and peoples have al
tered,
Ger all shine the stars and the
sun.
Let the nations whose banners are
waving
The symbols that never shall cease,
Insure for the earth and its people
The blessings of safety and peace.
Hurrah for the sun and the stars
Banzai for the stars and the

Enshrined in all life it is written,

THE STAR sPANGLED BANNER

Nf. KARL MUCK regards the
J"Star Spangled Banner" as un-
fit for the ears of those lovers
of classic music who go to hear the
Boston Symphony orchestra. "It has
no place in a program of artistic
symphony music" is the way Major
Higsinson, patron of the orchestra
puts it in supporting Dr. Muck. In
short, the orchestra declines to plav
the national anthem in response to
public demand. and the public in
turn threatens to blacklist the or
chestra unless it does.
The whole thing is more or less a
tempest in a teapot. In ordinary
times Americans would not ask DIR
Muck or any other conductor to
include patriotic airs in their or
chestra programs. But the country
is at war, and the war has its part
in every life. Orchestra conductors
are no exception, and who are they.
at all events, that they should deny
the demands of the very people upon
whose bounty they depend for sup
port?
The Army is sorely in need of mu-
sicians. and it might be we'll to put
DIR. Muck and his performers where
the playing of the Star Spangled
Banner" is not a matter of choice.
Certainly, we are more in need Just
now of patriotic stimulus than we
are of the classical strains of the
Boston Symphony. however sweet

Italy's Mediterranean ports, Genoa
and Naples.
The other Mediterranean cities
have had the same experience in fall
ing under domination from the
North Sea. Marseilles was the nat
ural distributing point for most of
Southwestern Europe. But it found
this field occupied and largely con-
trolled from the north. Saloniki was
the natural emporium of the Balkans
and all Southeastern Europe up to
the Danube. But this field was in
the hands of the North Sea cities.
Saloniki counts its decline largely
from this fact. Triest, being an
Austrian city, has shared in the ad-
vantages of the North Sea rule, but
always as an auxiliary of the north,
whereas it is part of this economic
struggle to make Triest an open
port for all the world, and essen
TALLY a Mediterranean city instead
of an adjunct to the North Sea.
The "Forty-fifth parallel" is an
other expressive term used in this
commercial struggle. 1t is the east
and west highway of commerce
through Entente territory across
Europe. 1t seems, also, to be a sort
of commercial belt around the world.
1t crosses Europe east and west from
Bordeaux, Lyons, Milan, Belgrade,
Odessa and runs close alongside the
Mediterranean from east to west,
giving land and water routes side by
side.
The struggle to restore the Med
iterrapean basin to its rights and
throw off the domination of the
North Sea ports, explains the long
and tenacious stand General Sar-
rails forces are making on this Sa-
loniki front. The strictly military
part of their functions is consider
able, but aside from these military
ends, the Entente forces along this
Saloniki front are felt to have a
larger function, to maintain the En-
tente foothold on the Eastern Med
iterranean until the whole Mediter-
ranean basin is free from the domi-
nation of the north.
Some military critics have asked
for the recall of the Salonilxi eXpedi-
ton, on the ground that the many
military divisions here could be used
for the final blow on the western
front. But it can be set down as
certain, based on the judgment of
those in highest authority, that this
will not be done, for there is larger
purpose than the one on the mill
tary fronts-the control of the Med
iterranean.
