War Needs at Home
philadelphia Bulletin1 ]


With seventeen separate requests
from foreign powers for assistance
out of the national war chest. ag-
eregating almost the entirety of the
$7,O00,000,000 loan, Congress and
the administration Tuesday con-
frcnted the rival demand of our own
army and navy in the shape of an
appropriation bill totaling nearly
SO, 100000, and which was said
to be only the beginning.
Thus far provision has been made
chiefly for the organization and
equipment of the new army which is
to be raised. and even then only for
such part of it as is in more or less
Immediate prospect. The actuality
of war has not yet been reached,
and the costs of preparation, or
even of the initial stages of actual
operation, are not the full measure
of the ultimate expense of maintain
ing the struggle and carrying it
through to victory.
The new navy Is yet in the MAX
ing. but when it shall be in commits
sion, and that must be as speedily
as possible, there will be a largely
increased charge. for its mainte-
nance.

GROWING UNREST IN GERMANY

longer can the Kaiser appoint navy
officers at his sole will. The appoint
ments must be countersigned by the
Chancellor or by the Secretary of
State for the Admiralty. Military
appointm ents must be countersigned
hy the War Ministers, who are re-
sponsible to the Reichstag, not to the
Emperor.
Together with the attacks upon
these autocratic features of tho Ger7
man constitution comes the endeavor
to oust Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg from office. Again this is a
thinly yelled attack on the Emperor
himself. The Chancellor is his crea-
ture, appointed by him and respon-
sible alone to him. The attack on
the servant is in effect a revolt
against the master.
The incidents are. significant. They
in dicate a degree of unrest in politi-
cal Germany that few supposed to
exist there. We may be sure that
exaggerated reports have not been
allowed to pass the censor. What
we have read probably falls far short
of the entire story. There is every
reason to believe that discourage
ment over the continued reverses
suffered in the war has at last
stirred the German people to protest,
and even to organized opposition to
the government responsible for
them.-New York Sun.

ROOSEVELT IN FRANCE

NOLONEL ROOSEVELT yet will
" lead IN American army into
France. He has the people
back of him without regard to party
and all the Vaccinations of politi-
clans and the army clique at Wash
ington will not avail to keep him
from going to the help of the Allies
with a lighting force of Americans
who believe in him and are willing
to fight under his leadership.
1t is significant tnat he and those
associated with him already have re-
cruited for the Roosevelt division
10000 men and that these are
ready TO go at once across the seas.
There should be no politics in this
war and great care will have to be
exercised at Washington that the
confidence of the people in the good
faith of the administration is not
shattered by moves which suggest
political motives.
Colonel Roosevelt has demonstrat-
ed the highest type of patriotism
in his offer to raise an army and go
as a subordinate commander. and
why his tender should not be seized
by the government is inconceivable
to the average American citizen.
Thousands of those who have not
always agreed with the Colonel in
his political policies are now with
him and are ready to fight with him
for the great principles underlying
this titanic controversy. 1t is said
that several thousand surgeons and
medical men have proffered their
services through the Roosevelt re-
cruiting headquarters aAd that
scores and thousands of men who
are outside the provisions of the con-
scription act are anxious to don the
uniform of Uncle Sam and fight
with TEDDY" against the imperial
ism of Germany and the world.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY Q
THE CAPITOL PARK BILLS

NREAT credit is due all those
NJ concerned in the working out
of proper treatment of the
Capitol Park zone. Prominent
members of the Senate and House in
charge of the several measures
which have been introduced to
authorize the change in the regrad-
ing and planting of the park are
cooperating with the State officials
who have presented a plan so gener-
ally acceptable that there has been
no criticism of it in any essential
particular.
Harrisburg as always is cooper
ating in the making of a proper en-
Vironment for the splendid building
on Capitol Hill and there will be en-
tire harmony in whatever is done
hereafter to complete the compre-
hensive scheme of treatment sub
mitted by Arnold w. Drummer and
Warren II. Manning, the noted land
scape designers and planners en-
gagged by the State.
The bills which have been intro
duced into the Senate and House are
understood to embrace the best
thought of the leaders of both
branches of the Legislature and are
in consonance with the general
recommendations submitted by the
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings.

Mobilizing the Boys
New York World

The proposal to enroll the idle
agricultural and industrial reserve
OF them is to be commended. 1t is
estimated that there are about g.
10000 American boys between 16
100000 are without occupation.
They are mostly sound physically
and they are full of an energy which
now in many cases finds an outlet in
aimless play and sport but needs
only to be organized and given di-
rection to become useful
This can readily be done and pre-
sumably with their active co-opera-
tion. Certainly the remarkable
growth of the Boy Scout movement
has been a lesson in the adaptable
ity of American boys to organiza-
tion. Enrolling for digging and
planting and helping in shipyards
Will of course not make the same
appeal to the spirit of adventure and
romance. But the American boy Is
az least good deal of a patriot and
jealous for doing his Bit in some
form. He will be more willing to
work If his playfellows are work
ing.
Altogether, it should be profitable
to the country and profitable to its
idle boys to mobilize them for war
aid. In a few years more they will
be doing the nations work and
safeguarding its welfare, and 1t will
be beneficial to have the interval
passed in an apprenticeship which
will discipline them for their duties
as men.

Cleanup Week

Every housekeeper knows the nee
essity of periodical house. e-cleaning
supplementing even the most care
full and painstaking daily routine of
housework.a and municipal admins
tration in this particular is only
housekeeping in the broader degree.
Cleanup Week, which now, for the
fourth time, Is officially proclaimed,
is simply an application of the COM
monplace practice of every house,
owner and housekeeper'
1t is an effort in cooperative
cleanliness; it serves the better
health of the community by its rid
dance of the breeding places of dirt
and disease; 1t contributes to the
s.ghtliness of the city by it's i'm
provement of door yards and home
surroundings; this year it is pro-
posed that it shall aid in economic
development by it's preparation of
vacant ground for purposes of culti-
vation.
But the chief purpose and service
of Cleanup Week are in it's enlist
ment of popular interest In munich
pei housekeeping. There is more
or less difficulty in prodding mu-
nicipal bureaus and contractors to
competent performance of their
work in cleaning streets. but with
patience and persistence that can be
done. 1t is far more difficult to reach
the individual citizen effectively and
to prod him to do his part in keep
in6 the streets-or even his own
premises-clean, and the occasional
appeal of this nature, even though
1t may seem to some to be more or
ID SIS fantastic. is of prac6cal value
because it makes an unusual appeal
to the great majority of citizens,
and leaves a permanent influence
and inspiration with a great many.

PATRIOTIC UPPED END

TINE people of the upper end of
Dauphin county are responding
nobly to the call of the Red
Cross. Halifax, Millersburg, Lykens,
Williamstown, Wiconisco and Eliza
bethville together have enrolled more
than 1000 members and in a few
weeks those in charge of the auxil-
iaries promise to have at least 500
more. This is good work. The peo-
pie north of the mountains never let
Harrisburg and the towns to the
south excel them in any effort for
the public welfare. The spirit of
wholesome rivalry existing there is
well illustrated by the fact that Will
Jamestown, in an effort to surpass it's
neighbors, last night rolled up n
membership of 154, breaking all rec
ords for suburban towns.
Perry county is doing almost as
well, Duncannon to-day reporting
more than 100 Red Cross members.
Unless Harrisburg responds more
generously the suburbs may show a
larger enrolment in proportion to
the population than the city itself.
