VALUABLE SERPENT

Snakes, says a writer in the cur
rent issue of the American Forestry
Magazine, are a national asset worth
many millions of dollars. Snakes
eat rodents. The fewer rodents the
more grain for human consumption.
Ergo, the more snakes the more
food and prosperity for humanity.
The snake prejudice is common,
almost universal. Many humane
people kill snake at sight merely
because it is a snake. Others, espe-
cially those who wear skirts, flee,
terror stricken, from a snakes pres
ence for the same arbitrary reason.
To study snakes in friendly way. to
try to understand them as q part of
natures scheme, is a new idea.
In the East there are several snake
clubs that devote themselves to the
study of snakes and to propaganda
of kindness toward serpents. The
arguments are convincing; quite as
unanswerable as the arguments
against the wanton killing of birds.
Snakes, like birds, are friends of the
farmer, and, therefore, benefactors
of all of us. There are III species
of American snakes, and of these
only II are venomous. No snake,
venomous or otherwise, ever wan
tonly attacks a human being

PsYCHOLOGIZING ARMY

The very elaborate plan to subject
the Army, environments to elaborate
psychological tests to determine fit
ness in a wav represents the ripe eX-
perience of 40 years of psychological
research on the part of American
teachers and investigators. When
DR.. Stanley Hall started his expert
mental psychology classes at Johns
Hopkins in 1876 he laid the founda-
tion that his pupils, DR., Joseph Jas
trow and others carried all over the
country, with the University of Penn
sylvania establishing the first. out
and-out chair in psychology in 1887
under DIR. Cattell. Since then, of
course, psychology, without the
Qualifying adjective experimental" /"
has been a feature of college and
university courses. In consequence,
1t is possible to-day for the experts to
devise for the Army vital tests as to
capacities that will give a true index
of character and attainments. Such
q survey would not have been pos
sible in 1886 and hardly even in the
war with Spain. at least not with
the certainty of the completeness
that the present tests represent. Once
viewed somewhat humorously by the
the uniformed public. the possibil-
tiles of psychology are to-day better
understood, and the examinations OF
tho thousands of soldiers and young
officers Will represent, therefore, a
unique survey, which will be of the
greatest immediate value to the
Army.-Philadelph Ledger.

VICTORIES IN VAIN"

General Freytag Loringhoven, OF
the German general staff, has pub
lished a sensational pamphlet called
Results of the World War" Among
other things he says:
THE general, political and econo-
mic situation of the world works
only in favor of our enemies, and
the German soldiers will be de-
frauded of the fruits of their victor
les"
He thinks that trench warfare
was great mistake, and says that
only aggressive attacks have brought
successes, but he adds "the German
offensive was not strong enough to
overthrow the enemy"
The "Muenchener Post" expresse es
the hope that the reasonableness of
the Generals utterances will teach
the Pan-Germans, who would fight
to conquer the whole world with
their mouths, to estimate correctly
the limitations of Germany's mill
tary power.
The Post" adds:-"Our world
economic situation must be COM
pletely changed by a new admins
tration of our foreign policy based
on democratic principles; and there
fore we do not require a strong
peace against East and West which
would bring us in opposition to al
the Great Powers, but a far-sighted
lasting peace by agreement?

that the people have taken over the
direction of the railroads, and of the
coal mines, and of the food supply,
and of the organized industries of
the nation. 1t is not merely that
the workingman has been given q
larger place in the Government
councils and the idle rich man q
smaller place-his income taxed to
the bone and his profits reduced to
extinction. 1t is, above all, that in
dustry itself has obtained demo-
cratic government of its own, so that
the workingman now sits with the
employer at the board of business
management and helps to make the
rules under which he works and to
regulate the conditions of his labor.
The reforms for which British
socialists have been struggling for
so years have been obtained over
night. A revolution that could not
have been effected in q century of
peace has been forced by three years
of war. The conditions which for
warded that revolution are the con-
ditions that are so rapidly advanc-
ing similar revolution here. Our
socialists, who cry This is a rich
mans war; let the workingman op-
pose 1t" are as blind as those So
cialtsts in Great Britain who orig
lnally raised the same cry and SINH
larly opposed their own advantage.
We have already obtained, in this
country, measures of state socialism
that looked as far away as the mil
lenium to our socialists three years
ago. We shall have to carry the
still more incredible reforms that
have carried in England If we are
to defend ourselves as we'll as the
=
We, too, shall have to "democratize
industry" as the phrase is, If we ex-
pect our workingman to reinforce
our battle line as the British work
ingman has reinforced the British
front. And not only that. After the
war is over. our industry and our
commerce will not be able to live in
the same world as British industry
and commerce-to say nothing of
the French and German-if our
workingman is not as loyal and
satisfied and happy and efficient as
theirs. Our revolution will have to
continue, because the life of the ma
ton in peace, as in war; will depend
upon continuing it.
A rich mans war! A war that has
exterminated half the evils of op-
preston of which the predatory rich
have been accused! A war that has
reduced their power, curtailed their
privileges, confiscated their profits |!
A war that has made England, in
three years, radical democracy, not
only politically, but industrially!, If
any socialist thinks that such war is
a rich mans war, he thinks so be-
cause his mind has ceased 10 func-
tion - because he has reduced
thought to a dogma and bleats a me-
chanical utterance like n toy lamb
because he has taken his stand on
the economic formula, like the lamb
on its bellows, unable to change it's
note under the pressure of any cir
cumstances, baaing its invariable an
swer to any conformation of fact.

"A RICH MANS WAR;"
By HARVEY O'HIGGINS

LIE had been drafted, He had
n been refused exemption. He
was young hack driver, with
no one dependent on him. But he
was not eager to fight; he had been
reading The Masses. What We 1
got to fight for he argued. IT'S a
rich mans war"
1t is. But not in the sense that
he meant
AS long as this country, at peace
was supplying Europe with food and
munitions the rich man gained. The
munitions workers drew enormous
dividends. The Steel Trust, the Coal
Trust, the Meat Trust, the railroad
and the shipping magnates charged
all that the wartime traffic would
bear, and had no war taxes to pay.
1t was to their interest to keep this
Nation out of the conflict in order
to preserve their gains. With our
entrance upon hostilities, the Gov
eminent obtained the power to tax
profits, to fix prices, to control the
food supply, to protect the poor from
exploitation and deprive the rich of
the fruits of exploitation. That pow
er has been sought, for how many
decades, In times of peace, by how
many social reformers? The war
won it. If it is a rich mans war,
the rich have been singularly de-
luded into procuring it.
And, in the matter of the draft
they have been equally blind. The
first conscription act of our Civil
War allowed the rich man to buy
exemption by paying $500 for it.
There is no such clause in the pres
ent law. In the latter days of the
rfrrtl h. taI, 4
exemption by paying a substitute to
take his place. He can not do so
in this war. The only exemptions
allowed to-day are allowed to the
poor man who has dependents or
to the workers in the industries and
professions that are necessary to the
life and efficiency of q modern ma
ton in war time.
1t is a rich mans war, therefore
in the sense that the sons of the
rich are the most liable to die in it.
1t is a rich mans war in the sense
that the rich are chiefly paying for
it with their lives, with their money,
with their time and service, and with
the loss of their special privileges,
while the workingman, the small
farmer. the producer, the produc-
tive laborer and the poor are every
where comparatively exempt.
For the first time in the history
of the world war is being waged
that falls most heavily upon the
classes, who, in times past, have
most profited by war.
In this country, as yet, the re-
suits of that new aspect of the con-
flict are not glaringly evident. But
in England they are so striking that
they amount to a revolution. There
it is the poorer classes that have
gained in material comfort. in polit-
ical power, in control of their con-
ditions of life, in happiness and in
freedom. 1t is not merely that
wages have been raised, that the
cost of living has been controlled

THE CABBAGE SHORTAGE

HARRISBURG and that garden

news columns of the Telegraph
as Central Pennsylvania. will have
real reason for THANKSGIVING this
year. The cabbage shortage, re-
ported in other sections. does not
extend to this locality. Likewise, the

nre we can adopt with enthusiasm

stunt to make kraut. Indeed, there
was time not so long past, either,
when sauerkraut making took on
more or less the air of a social func-
ton. The day the family made
sauerkraut we looked upon as an
outstanding date in the calendar. Not
every household boasted cabbage
cutter, "stomper" and the other es-
sentials to proper observance of
the occasion. There was much bid
ding in the neighborhood for those
available, and finally. after excited
dickering and much doubt and fore
boding, the deal was completed and
