The locomotive was getting under way
with vast complaints because of the
strain of the upgrade pull.
With start Patria discovered that
the rear car had been uncoupled and
Its brakes thrown of. As the train
moved uphill, 1t was moving downhill,
at first slowly under unassisted mo-
mentum. but momentarily gathering
way through the attraction of gravity.
1t was at most a mile from the
mills. BY the time the car had COW
cred half that distance on that steep
grade 1t would be careering downhill
ut express speed. When 1t struck the
mlll-yard gates 1t would cave them In
like eggshells.
Horrors frigid hand clutched at
Patria's heart as she realized that this
thing had come to pass through no ac-
cident but through deliberate and
fiendish design.
That freight car was loaded to Its
caves with high-explosive. When the
crash came, the Claiming mills would

Miraculously. as 1t seemed to her
when she was permitted time for

The freight car was a hundred yards
distant and bearing down like Jug

the motor-car on the rails, jumped,
and ran for dear life.
The ensuing explosion was like the
trumpet of Doom. Patria, lifted bodily

of the entente allies. no one expects
Americans of German blood and ira
dition to volunteer for active opera

armies. We know from experience
that German-Americans will fight de-
votedly for their adopted country, and
If we were threatened with invasion
even by Germany there would be no
doubt the German Americans would

But 1T is neither necessary nor prac-
tical to use COMMUNICATIONS in any

this war compels us to send abroad
The Tribune believes that for the sake
of the national morale as we'll as of
our political advantage an American
army, when ready, should be sent to
Europe. But whether that is a Volun-
teer army-we hope it will not be
or an army organized under uni
versal service, provision should be
made for the assignment of men of
blood to the forces we shall have to
maintain at home. The German
American should not be asked to
drive a bayonet into the breast of his

invading the country, as he might be
from Mexico, or unless he is striking
at our peace here within the confines
of our own country. But German

Military efficiency, as we'll as consid-

this concession. German Americans
could not be expected to fight against
Germany with the spirit they would
show against another enemy or even
against Germany in a war whose is

We have duty also to civilian Ger
man-Americans, duty which is not
merely governmental but belongs to
us all. If we are not unreasoning we
must realize that the German Amer
leans who are loyal to this country
are passing through an experience of
real anguish. The common figure of
speech which calls Germany their
mother and America their wife is not
| exaggerated. These, our fellow citi-
zens. our neighbors and worthy CO.
workers in upbuilding of America
are torn between two sincere and hon
orable devotions. They are following
the Biblical saying, they are leaving
| father and mother and cleaving to the
wife. But the necessity of choice is a
bitter one.

of common human feeling to try to

ated, to- try to make them feel that

looks to me as though the Citizens
Committee of Harrisburg hold for
their motto, "Ittner at any Cost" and
this should not be the case for they
really only pay 13 per cent. of Har-
risburg's taxes and the other 81 per
cent. should be taken into considera-
ton. also. AS l see conditions, the re-
sponsibility rests upon the School
Board, which is elected by the people,
and as the people had not the least
voice in the selection of the Citizens
Committee, / can see no reason why
members of our School Board should
accept such recommendation as has
been suggested and which they pro-
pose to submit, for in so doing it may
lead our School Board into the same
plight that the Erie board found them
selves when it was too late, and no
one would want such an occurrence in
Harrisburg, as we want all our money
will buy and in fact it should be de-
manded by the taxpayers as they are
the ones to pay the bill. Every mem
ber of our board who votes against
Mr.. Ittner as architect should receive
congratulations from every taxpayer

FRIDAY EVENING. MARCH 80
GERARD'S COMING

THE Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce has done a good stroke
in procuring the services of for
mer Ambassador Gerard to address
the great patriotic meeting planned
for this city next week.
Mr.. Gerard's coming is we'll timed
He will speak here, in all likelihood,
Immediately following the declaration
of Congress that state of war exists
between this country and Germany.
His visit will be an occasion of i'm
mense public interest. Nobody knows
so well as Mr.. Gerard the problems
we will have to face in the war that
impends. Since the outbreak of the
European conflict he has had oppor-
tunity of studying Germany from the
inside. lie has brought with him
from Berlin vast store of informa-
tion that will be of inestimable value
to the United States at this juncture.
Much of it will remain untold, doubt
less, except in the secret chambers of
the government at Washington, but
what the former ambassador will have
to say to Harrisburg people will be
first hand. Every word will have it's
import for us and everybody who has
opportunity should hear him.

NO HALFWAY MEASURES

THERE isn't any. doubt about the
real attitude of the people of the
United States with respect to our
difficulties with Germany. 1t is evident
to all that this country has been forced
into a state of war against every effort
of the administration at Washington
to keep peace. All differences of opinion
aside as to the manner of conducting
negotiations, it is now manifestly the
conviction of all patriotic citizens that
we should join forces with the allies
in doing everything to bring to a close
the intolerable conditions which have
upset the world.
If we are to make war, and this
seems inevitable, then there should be
no halfway measures. We should
stand shoulder to shoulder with those
who have been battling against the
aggression of oppressors in Europe and
any effort to prosecute kind of de-
tached warfare will be against the
judgment of the average American.

Third Street Problem
lhs Edit0r Of the TeIcgrabh:

To the Editor of the TcIcgrabh:
L am glad to note in your paper
that efforts are being made towards
improvement of conditions on the
North Third street line of the trolley
company. / am a merchant on that
street. The fact that cars pass my
door only one way is u hardship. lose
money by it. ] have suffered ever
since the one-way system went into
effect. | do not blame the trolley
people alone. 1 know they acted the
way theS did only after a few foolish
persons had complained that cars were
delayed on sidings ON the other hand
think they should stand up against
complaints they know are not war
ranted. Why make a few of us prop
ertyholders and business people who
bear the bulk of taxation suffer for
the few "kickers" who are no more
pleased with the present methods of
transportation on Third street than
they were with the old.

CONSERVE AND PRESERVE

IF State Secretary of Agriculture
/ Patton has his way this will be
the banner canning year in the
history of Pennsylvania. His procla-
nation, issued yesterday to the farm
ers and the housewives of the State,
following the suggestions of State
Health Commissioner Dixon, and
President Sparks, of State College,
calls attention to the rapidly dwind-
ling supply of canned goods and the
necessity not only for raising vast
amounts of greenstuffs the coming
summer but of canning the surplus
for use during the winter to follow.
This is good advice. Most Harris
burg housekeepers make some pre-
tense of canning their own supplies of
fruits and vegetables, but where one
carries out the example of her mother
in this a dozen do not. The corner
grocery is so convenient and the work
of canning" so distasteful to many
women who look to summer largely
as period of rest and recreation that
the preserve pantry of many q home
is shamefully neglected. But if we
are to live next winter as we'll as we
are accustomed and at prices within
the reach of the average purse, things
must change. The coming summer
must be a season both for conserving
and preserving.

Objects to Ittner
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
A certain Mr.. Griswold, member of
the Erie School Board, has written a
letter to j. III. Mcfarland. of our city,
This letter was published in various
city papers. Mr.. GriswCld'S letter laudS
Mr.. Ittner for the services he has rem
dered the Erie School Board and rec
ommends him for the work about to
be undertaken by the School Board of
Harrisburg.
The Erie papers have recently con-
tanned considerable food for thought
for the taxpayers of Harrisburg. I
note in the Erie Dispatch of March s
that the Erie boards total assets for
building purposes, including $1,000,000
loan authorized some time ago by the
people, amounts to $1,176,500 and
contracts have already been let for
buildings, etc, to the amount of ST.

school and an addition to the Central
High school, all of which buildings
were supposed to be covered in the

lied. 1t appears that bids were open
ed several weeks ago for the high
school and the grade school and the
lowest bids received aggregated $685.

above the architects estimate. 1t is
estimated that the additions to the two
other mentioned buildings will cost at
least 100000. In other words, the
Erie board appears to have $129,-
916.63 available with which to build
schools to cost 1856, S25, therefore, the
Erie board was obliged to indefinitely
postpone the buildings in question, or
until such time that the people author
lied another loan. Mr.. Griswold in his
praise of Mr.. Ittner neglected to state
these facts, or else Mr.. Mcfarland has
deleted them in his attempt to force
Mr.. Ittner upon the taxpayers of Har-
riSburg.
1 think Harrisburgers are of one
mind, that the new school should be

purpose. Taking the above into con-
sideration, it does not seem to me to
follow that our taxpayers should be

The SugaF-Buttef- Cream m-Tart-Pie
There's one thing which my mother
makes
I never can forget
If l live to be q hundred years
And fifty more! Ill bet
That though l may get old and blind
And lame and have no teeth,
A sugar butter -cream-t -tart-pie
viii smiles around me wreathe.
A sugar -butter-cream- -tart-pie?
Why goodness, don't you know?
She makes it when she's nearly
through
With just a bit of dough;
She lines a pan up to the edge
And puts some sugar in,
And then a lump of butter
And some cream to make it thin!
One day when we were standin
round,
My brother said, he did,
What do you call pie, mamma,
That hasn't any lid?"
And mother said "a tart, my SON."
Then brother shrieked out high
Let's call mammals left over dough

IN Governor Brumbaugh's compre-
hensive message to the Legisla-
ture at the beginning of the
present session he called attention to
the importance of providing in some
suitable manner a permanent marker
for the site of Camp Curtin in this
city On this subject he said:
During the Civil War our Penn
sylvania troops were all trained
and mustered, into the national
service at Camp Curtin, a site now
within the limits of ;dtn aarrisbrrg
portant residential district. A small
area yet remains unimproved and
for an uni important sum this land
may now be acquired. set aside as
Camp Curtin Park, and made
memorial to the citizen soldiery of
PennSyiyania earnestly earnestly urge
patriotic service.
elapsed since the opening of the ses-
sion and Senator Beidleman's bill to
carry into effect this important recon-
mendation of the Governor still rests
in committee. When it is recalled that
thousands of men were mobilized,
Curtin, the suggestion of the Cover
nor for a permanent memorial on the
site comes with peculiar force at this
time when the men and resources of
are again to be mobiliZ-
ed in a national crisis. 1t is probable
that this matter has been overlooked
in the pressure of other matters on
Capitol Hill, but it is known that both
the Governor and Senator Beidleman
are quite earnestly in favor of some
such memorial as has been suggested.
About a year ago prominent citizens
of the western section of Harrisburg
called upon the Governor and urged
him to make the recommendation
which was submitted to the Legisla-
ture, but which has not been acted on
up to the present time. Senator Beid-
Ieman has a plan, as outlined by the
whereby the expense of
such a memorial can be held to a min
imum and this should be an argu-
ment in favor of the passage of this
bill.
We cannot be too careful in the
matter of proper recognition of the
patriotism and sacrifice of those who
go forth to war in defense of their
country and the liberties of our peo-
pie. If we show no interest whatever
in the things which stand as remind
ers of another grave period in the de-
velopment of the country we can
hardly expect the men of the present
generation to become overly enthu-
siastic in the crisis of to-day.
Let us hope that prompt action will
be taken to the end that Camp Curtin
may be permanently marked as one
of the great camp grounds of the Civil
War.

A BUILDING BOOM

THERE are indications every
where throughout the city of
building boom of large proper
tions this year. Many more houses
are needed than have been provided
owing to the high cost of building
materials and everything that goes
into the construction of dwellings, but
without regard to these unusual condi-
tions the time has come when there
must be more homes, and the builders
of Harrisburg are going right ahead.
1t is also certain that there will be a
general remodeling of many business
places and the erection of many more
in addition to the construction of the
big Penn-H Harris Hotel.

are not the wards of the people or
their own choice. Misfortune has
marked them for their own. They
have nothing whatsoever in prospect
except the grave. From day to
day they do the small chores re-
quired of them, sit idly about, eat
when it is meal time and sleep when
night falls. Theirs is a dreary round
of dull days. Anything that will bring
a little sunshine into their clouded
lives is well worth while.

What Excuse For the Delay?

(From the Rochester Post -Express)
For nearly two years now, or ever
since the Lusitania went down, it has,
to many observers, seemed inevitable
that we should be drawn into the
maelstrom of this mighty struggle.
For the more concessions we made to
militarism the more we should have
to make. The more indignities we
submitted to the more would be put
upon us. for that is the Prussian
way. Our army and navy were known
to be woefully deficient in men, mu-
nitions. guns, equipment, and 1t has
seemed the height of folly that in all
these months no steps have been
taken to make them ready for emer-
gencies. On what theory will the
apologists for the administration JUS
tify its course? Will they say that
the President did not realize that war
must come or that he considered the
country adequately prepared? Neither
of these explanations is very credit
able to him.

households from which they come,
meet useful purposes in the homes to
which they go. Thus everybody is
