NO REQUEST FOR AID

We are awaiting orders. We are
simply agents of the national govern
ment and will do all in our power TO
back it up" said Governor BrumbauSh
to-day after n conference with Ad
iutant General Stewart and Secretary
of the Commonwealth Woods in re-
gard to the German crisis. General
Stewart laid before the Governor facts
in regard to the National Guard, which
is prepared to answer any call on
short notice, and Mr. Woods who is a
former minister to Portugal and fa-
miliar with foreign relations and in
ternational law. discussed the general
situation.
There is only one voice that should
he heard now and that is the voice of
the national government" continued
the Governor. I'VE will be prepared,
but we will not act until we are called
upon or something arises
General Stewart Ready
General Stewart said that he had
his plans ready for any contingency
and a similar report was made by
Superintendent of the State Police
Groome.
The State Capitol has been full of
reports that applications were made
for troops to guard steel works and
munitions plants. but the Governor
said that none had come to him. spe-
cifcally denying reports that troops
had been asked in the Pittsburgh dis
trict.
Central Camp
The belief is that in the event of
call for troops for federal service the
men would be sent to a point which
would be designated by the War De-
partment and only in the event of
riots or disorder with which police
forces of industrial establishments,
local authorities or sheriffs could not
cope would guardsmen be at all likely
10 be called upon to do any guard
duty. No information has come here
regarding troops of the Pennsylvania
militia being ordered from FL Paso
other than the entrainment orders an
nounced last week. The organizations
at home are prepared for service and
the railroads could make ready cars
on short notice.
1t is understood that an effort to Sc
cure an increase of the State police
force will be made in the event of the
guardsmen being called into federal
service.

Japansse Dinners.

Tn the matter of eating 1t Is agreed that the Japanese cuisine is not of the richest in nutriHve quality. It is not inexpensive; Japanese dinners are elab- crate in preparation, artistic In pre- sentation. but for satisfying the inner man are far Inferior tJ AUro-e1I of even Chinese cooking. The chief char acteristic of . purely Japanese dinner Is to please the eye, mt the palnto or stomach. It Is q national joke that one must eat a meal before going to or after returning from Japanese din- ner.
 Oh, how much labor Gnl C"pe&sc arc lavished on a gochiso (cntcrtainmen0 to make 1t nice to look at! This Is all sheer waste and luxury and is to be condemned. Providence has kindly put In the power of every Japanese to live In the most economical manner, so the Japanese dinner is a blasphemous abuse of providential bene1cence. It Is an anachronistic relic of feudalsm, reminiscent of the morbid tastes of idle. luxurious overlOrds! X monstrous fact is that these customs are not go- ing out of fashion.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

Instead of setting clocks an hour Tor ward in spring anI an hour backward in fall, Professor LrcOrbun suggests 10 the French Academy of Sciences n simple methoI os making the change gradually cnI with the seasons. This consists of altering slightly the length yS the peudulums or clocks at the win ter and summer SolsticeS, so that be -inuins with Dec. T they would gain thirty seconds a day, and beginning with June @I would lose thirty seconds a day.
 The effect os this would be that by March 2l they would be forty-tiYe min utes ahead and by June T they would be an hour aul thirty minutes ahead. After which the I,adUlUmS would be chaugeI. aud the clocks woulI lose at thu sane spool
 Under such an arrangement we should have to set our watches for ward or backward half minute every night.

 Department of Thls Country PrSPar-
 ing Tanks For Service.
 Washington.-The French infantry that won so much ground in the Cham pagne region advanced as a supporting force to numerous batteries Of cater pillar tractors, or tanks" hoglike in appearance, that crept forward with persiStency which the German troops remaining in their shell battered trenches could not check and which assured the poilus of protection as they dug in upon their advanced lines.
 So that an American army can know about these tanks If sent abroad Cap tain Charles Sweeny, a native of Spo- kane, Wash, and a member of the Foreign legion of the French army, is now in this city, where he will as- sist ordnance experts in preparing sim liar land cruisers for service. He re- turned recently from France.
 Captain Sweeney is a West Pointer, but when the fighting began be was found in the French army. He started as a private in the infantry. He want ed to be in the thick of 1t, so chose that branch of the service and during his campaigning was in many battles. He was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor for valor and pro noted to lieutenant when, single hand ed, he captured a machine gun and six Germans.
 Very little has been written in this or any country regarding the French tanks. The first few used by the French army went Into action about the same time the British put theirs in the field. It was not until the great offensive began this spring that the poilus trotted forward in support of great numbers of their tanks, gan zans," as they called them.
 The best way to describe a French tank is to compare 1t with a giant hog, kueeling so that its short legs cannot be seen, and creeping forward as 1t roots in the ground.
 4 rain of lead pours from !ts sides as 1t proceeds, and heavier shot and shell are showered upon any position where machine guns of the Germans may remain in action as 1t straddles the enemy trench. Only by landing shell directly upon a tank can 1t be put out of commission. Bullets from German rapid frers and the infantry rifles are powerless. Hand grenades do 1t 10 damage.
 Exactly how the French get the tanks to their first line trenches in preparation for attack Is a secret and for the present nothing on that phase of the use of them can be published. The well trained meChanicians and H. iemen are ready when 1t Is time to start, and upon the signal the tank gets into action. It straddles trenches, crushes through barbed wire and rakes the foe with guns.
