Guessing About Germany
[From the Pittsburgh pispatch.

ltrom the Pittsburgh Dispatch.J
Whether the disquiet among the
mass of the German people since the
Russian revolution and the most re-
cent speech of Chancellor Hollweg and
criticisms of ii and the governments
course by the Socialists OF both wings
is ominous or harmless is a matter
of individual Judgment of the German
character. When these judgments are
expressed in the confident language of
the partisan, friend and foe, there is
faint probability of a general agree
ment. The political observers in the
more unfriendly countries of Europe
profess to have discovered a danger
Gus popular attitude in Germany since
the Chancellor's half-expressed prom
se of electoral reforms liberal enough
to be ciassed as extreme, perhaps with
a potency sufficient to overturn the
reigning dynasty. This discovery is
emphasized in the veiled warning of
Philip Scheidemann and the defiant
speeches of Bernstein, SPAIN and
Noske demanding the advance of de-
mocracy after declaration that even
the thrones in Entente countries are
tottering to a fall. To all this the
German partisans and the supporters
of the imperial policy smile and say
a revolt of the German masses is inn
possible. The most significant fact is
that for the first time since the war
began speeches of that character are
permitted in Germany, which may in
dicate that unrest does exist and that
the imperial authority is less prompt
to smite il than formerly.

THIRD STREET CAR SERVICE

TIME business community which IS
centered at Third and Verbeke
streets has been urging for sew
eral years change of street railway
conditions on Third street. 1t is set
forth that a single track on this i'm
portant highway is inadequate and
that there is no good reason for con-
tinuing the present belt line. While
Third street is not broad highway,
it is the opinion of the business men
in the section indicated that it is suf-
ficiently wide for two tracks and that
there ought to be no hesitation in pro-
viding facilities for the constantly in
creasing traffic uptown.
The present arrangement has not
been satisfactory from the start and
there has been constant controversy
between the business community and
the street railway officials. There is
hope that the survey which is now
being conducted by traffic experts will
result in relief. 1t is understood that
the officials of the Harrisburg Rail-
ways company are ready to make any
changes that are Ieaslple 10 meet tHe
demand of the uptown business COM
munity. Until the survey now under
way shall have been completed and
conclusions reached regarding the best
method of providing facilities for all
sections of the city, it is not likely
that any decision can be announced.
There is reason to believe, however,
from the assurances of the officials of
the electric railway system, that every
thing will be done to meet public ex-
pectation with regard to improved
service. Nothing is so important in
any growing community as adequate
transportation and nothing should be
permitted to stand in the way of pro-
viding it for Third street as soon as

CENSORSHIP

TIME word censored" already is
beginning to appear in the news.
The likelihood is that its use
will increase as the war progresses.
Censorship in war is necessary, but
there are censorships and censorships
and it all depends upon the wisdom
of the government with respect to the
type that is to be imposed as to
whether good or evil will result there
from.
If there is to be an official govern
ment censor, Frederick Palmer is the
man for the place. He knows what is
or is not of military value. He knows.
also. the vital error made by Great
Britain at the outstart of the present
war. when conditions that were fright
full were pictured in rosy light or
concealed entirely. The nation was left
in ignorance of what was happening
at the front through the foolish notion
of the government censorship that by
Withholding the news from the papers
the Germans also could be kept in
ignorance. The result was that enlist
ment was slow, that errors of judg-
ment on the part of the military au-
thorities were CLOSED over and the
whole progress of the war delayed.
The people of the United States
have full confidence in the patriotism
and ability of those who will have
charge of the prosecution of the war,
and they will be content to remain in
ignorance of such things as might be
OF use to the enemy, and no loyal
newspaper would for a moment con-
slider the publication of such informa-
ton. But the Withholding of news
in which the whole nation is interest
ed and which it has a right to have
is quite another matter and would
work disastrously for the Republic in
the conflict in which we are about to
engage. Prussia and the United States
are quite two different places. and
what is all very well for Berlin will
not work for Washington.
The TELEGRAPH has been living
up very consistently to the censorship
requirements laid down a week ago
and not until it was in receipt of a
note to editors saying that there
would be no objection to the publica-
tion Of local military pictures and ar
ticles relating to the same did this
newspaper give even that informa-
tion OF minor importance room in its
columns. 1t will continue to abide
strictly by the rules laid down by the
War Department, but It and all other
newspapers would feel far more con-
tent did 1t know that a man like
Palmer sat as chief, of censor-for
Palmer. as has been said, is both
military authority and newspaper
man. and his judgment might be fairly
relied upon as TO what is proper to
Orint and what is not. IT Is to be sin

"Conspiracies" and Things

Now Senator Norris has it. 1 mean
that curious disease which makes him
see conspiracies.
Newspapers, he declares, have en-
listed in a propaganda to manufacture
sentiment for war. And yet when as
a correspondent used to see the Sena-
tor in Washington-he was then a
member of the House-he seemed like
such a sane and wholesome fellow.
But l repeat. This notion that
newspapers want war so that they
can print exciting news is a disease.
AS well accuse men Of setting their
engines work.
Here is the cold fact: War costs
the newspapers more in real cash
than it costs any other important in
War news costs every live news
paper great deal more money than
it can possibly get back from the sale

timony on this very subject was

seph Pulitzer's estate.

Her Maiden Speech

tFrom the Baltimore Americana

not be too brash, he must not break

ii the class with the college fresh
man. and If he doesn't know it and
doesn't act upon the knowing, he is
likely to find himself shopping around
in the chilly outer air.
The Hon. Jeanette Rankin, woman
congressman from Montana, is not
roHghshod over the ancient convention
which holds that a freshman NJ. c..
must be, for quite a little while, shy
on oratory. Harking back to the ru-
mors that hoated across from Mon
tana during the campaign that pre-
ceded the last congressional election

indifference and incompetency in
many quarters to check the real prog
ress of the city. The alleged nom
partisan feature of the Clark act has
been a delusion and snare from the
beginning. 1t has pretended to elimi-
nate political logrolling while in fact
promoting the very evils it professed
to correct. Even now certain indi-
viduals are thinking more about their
reelection and are giving more
thought to how to procure votes than
they are to the proper conduct of their
departments
AS result, sentiment is becoming
stronger every day for city manager
or some such arrangement as will give
efficient direction to the important af-
fairs of Harrisburg and other cities of
the third class. 1t is this very con-
dition which has given force and ef-
feet to the proposal of Senator Beidle-
man that a new law be enacted pro-
viding for a single council, consisting
of one member from each ward. This
would at least restore individual inter-
est in public affairs. But whatever the
change, present conditions should not
be allowedto continue one hour longer
than is necessary to provide for some
more effective conduct of the city's
business.

GERARD AND TRAINING
MORE miserable day as to

n MORE miserable day as to the
n weather could hardly have oc-
CURED in the entire calendar
year than that which marked the first
public expression of the patriotism of
Harrisburg since the declaration of
war with Germany. Notwithstanding
a cold, driving rain thousands of peo-
pie stood along the sidewalks to greet
the former ambassador of the United
States to Berlin and to extend him the
greeting of a patriotic community.
He was much impressed by the large
concourse of people under such cir
cumstances and yet Harrisburg is not
different from the average American
city at the present time. Even out of
the Middle West comes the informa-
ton that the people of that section of
the country are resenting the imputa-
ton that they are not in hearty accord
with the government at Washington
and ready to support to the last degree
the measures which shall be adopted
for upholding the national honor and
the integrity of the United States in
the great world conflict it has entered.
1t was also observed during the re-
ception to Mr.. Gerard that the men
who have recently returned from the
border and who acted as the military
escort gave virile expression to the
character of the American soldier -
the soldier of the people. These we'll
set up young men have demonstrated
the Importance of universal military
training and there are few now who
do not believe that some reasonable
system of military instruction should
become a part of the life OF every citi-
zen of the United States. We should
never again be placed in the position
of unpreparedness which has given all
other governments a false impression
of the real sentiments of our people.

limitation of the number we print,
hundreds if not thousands of the
smaller newspapers will be driven out
of business.
Our newspaper publishers do not
fully realize the great gravity of the
situation. They are foolish to try to
continue ordinary competitive meth
DDS. Everyone must do his bit and a
little more, or many will be reduced to
conditions now prevailing abroad.
If our railroads are monopolized for
hauling food, ammunition, and such.
the amount of paper they can haul
will be reduced. The mills will be seri-
ously embarrassed in getting coal and
other supplies. By cutting, and cut
ting deep, at this time all this may be
avoided. 1 say this not to create a
panic, but for the purpose of indicat-
ing immediate action to avoid Great

THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT

TIME proposed campaign OF the
Rotary Club to put the Boy
Scout movement of Harrisburg
on a permanent basis would be worthy
of popular support at any time, but
it is peculiarly appropriate to the cir
cumstances of the moment. There
never was a time when it was so i'm
portant that the boys of the country
be trained not only to take care of
themselves under any and all circum-
stances, but to perform services for
their own families and the community
at large if need be.
In England the Boy Scouts have
been of inestimable value during the
absence of millions of men in the
army. They have proved themselves
worthy and dependable. They have
been ready and willing always, no
matter what the call upon them. But
what they have done for others has
been of small moment, extensive
though that service has been, COM
pared with what they have done for
themselves. These boys are little men
in everything that the name implies
They have become self-reliant, capa-
BILE, producing individuals instead of
the dependent, nambypamby young
sters that pampered youths are apt
to be.
Before the Boy Scout movement
came into being there was small op-
portunity for the town boy to indulge
in that call of the wild and spirit of
adventure to which all American boys
worthy the name hearken before they
are out of short trousers. Love of out
doors and athletic sports and exercises
is the natural and very excellent at
tribute of the American boy. He loves
to go hiking" and camping. He dotes
on fishing pole, and a camping out
fit is a source of never ending delight

Now comes the Rotary Club with
