THE WM. PENN HIGHWAY

T HE freeing of the William Penn
Highway of alf toll gates be-
tween Harrisburg and Reading
is just another step in the develop
ment OF what is to become in a short
time the main-travcled highway
across Pennsylvania.
Not only do travellers save $780,
600 annually through the freeing of
the old Berks-Dauphin pike, but
every farmer in the territory af-
fected and every resident of every
city and town along the pike and
within ten miles of it is a gamer.
because the elimination of tolls
means more farm products at less
cost. Continuing down the line, deal
ers will sell more automobile trucks
to the farmers, because there is more
incentive for their use. The State
Highway Department has promised
that its repair crews will go to work
Immediately, getting the William
Penn Highway between Swatara and
Womelsdorf in the best possible con-
dltion.
The Telegraph has noted with
pleasure the activities of the many
counties through which the William
Penn Highway passes. 1t is the de-
sire of these counties to make this
highway the backbone of a county
system of permanent roads. There
can be no road system which has no
backbone. From the William Penn
Highway will radiate the laterals-
north, south. and other directions
which will mean so much to the
sections they will benefit. 1t is pleas
ing to note that the majority of these
William Penn counties, as they are
coming to be known, are anxious to
benefit outsiders. They are not sell
hsh. They are going to see to 1t
that the>main highway is permanent
from border to border. And that is
as it should be. What county Is
there in Pennsylvania so all-sufficient
that 1t need pay no heed nor give at
tention to its neighbors? What
county is there along this highway
which could afford to construct Il
road system beneficial only to itself?
From a paper" highway of
March. 1915, the William Penn High
way is advancing by leaps and
bounds. Before the close of 1918
nearly so miles OF permanent road
will be added to what has already
been built and is now building.
Within three or four years the Will
liam Penn will be nine-tenths of
permanent construction-and that
is more than can be said now of any
other highway, or may be said then.
The William Penn Highway As
ISOLATION is showing Pennsylvania
what a hard-working good road or
ganization can do.

GERMAN BALANCE SHEET

Three years ago Germany began
this war for the conquest of Middle
Europe. What has she gained?
What has this gain cost her?
She gained by her arms the terri
tories of Belgium, Luxembourg, Ser
bia, a small but rich section of
Northern France, and part of
Lithuania, Poland, and Rumania-
a total of littlo less than 100000
square miles.
She has lost:
Except for an Insignificant corner
in Southern Africa all her colonies,
more than million square miles.
Practically all her shipping not
bottled up in Bremen and Hamburg,
a loss estimated in tonnage as 81
100000
OF the flower of her youth, over 2
million.
In Gosh nearly 20 billion dollars
to be added 10 her national debt.
Before the war, though unpopular
as a people. Germany was honor
ed among all nations for her intel
lectual scholarship and her indus
trial efficiency. She has lost ire
trievably this respect and won I'm it's
place the mingled hatred and cou-
tempt of the civilized world. Scarce
ly a consid derable neutral nation Is
left except those whose safety COM
pels their neutrality.
No one thinks Germany can retoin
her gains. No one imagines that
she can recover her losses. 1t is not
strange that some of the German
people arc seriously discussing
asong themselves the question
whether it is not time to change
their business managers.-(From the
Outlook.)

After-War Conditions
1.-THE Bache Reviewl

For the last two weeks the f1nan-
cial and business world has had it's
attention forcibly directed to the sub
Ject of peace, not only as to its i'm
possibility from the present move
ment and as to what changed condi-
tions might bring about. but also as
to what the ultimate effects of peace
might be.
Since our own entry into the war
the enormous mobilization of funds
for war purposes and the concentra-
ton of power to control distribution
and prices of products, directly or
indirectly available for war uses,
have put a somewhat different phase
upon reflections as to what after
war conditions might be.
AS a nation outside of the war,
profiting enormously by its purchas-
ing needs, with prices mounting up
wards and imitation everywhere, a
sudden cession of these activities
would have left us acutely open to
the unfavorable effect of falling
prices and complete disappearance
of demand.
But becoming a part, and a most
active part of the great aggressive
campaign to save the world from
subserviency, spending vast sums of
our own money and contributing
millions of men to carry on the war,
coupled with the control OF taking
over by the Government of vast in
dustries and products, the release
from all this pressure Uf continued
for long time, as it bids fair to bel
might produce a very different and a
favorable effect upon conditions.

THE carving itself will be in full
relief whenever it is necessary to so
carve 1t to give the appearance of
complete relief. Otherwise the work
will be carved in simple relief, and
frequently even only drawn with a
chisel into the great wall. The noun
tain has been surveyed and its face
divided into sections. We have learn
ed that our mounted men, horse and
rider, must be from hat to fetlock
at least fifty feet to produce the
proper effect.
THE problem of engineering has
been solved in a very simple way.
Five hundred feet of plank steps
(now completely are built, with four
platforms at convenient intervals,
extending from the top down the
precipitous wall, ending directly
above the carving. At this point
a horizontalstrack extending the en-
tire length of the design is now
building. On this track will run
small trucks carrying hoists operat-
ed by electricity which let down over
the work to the extent of four hun
dred feet cars like elevators eight
cen feet square. in which the carv-
ers work.
THE carving will be done with
automatic tools in units of four
carvers, and will be governed by
young artists, each in charge of
groups of three to four carvers, and
there will be from three to five such
groups working continuously until
the completion of the work. Models
for this work are made in the small
size; they will then be made life
size. and the latter will be come the
working models.
THE lighting of the work is ex-
tremely fortunate, as the wall lies
northeast and southwest, presenting
half north face and receiving. be-
cause of its location on the crest
of the mountain, a continuous top
light. The great watershed will be
taken care of by top drainage, and
there is no frost. AS the granite
weathers to a fine dull plum tone,
the effect will be all that could be
desired"

Toll Gates Are Going

Another turnpike to be free! On
Saturday residents of Berks. Leb-
anon and Dauphin counties will have
the felicity of travelling without cost
over the Berks-Dauphin pike, where
tolls have been collected for more
than a century. and an important
link in the William Penn highway
will be well rid of the obstructive toll
gates. Let the good work go on
Lancaster and Montgomery counties
are still unduly afflicted with these
barriers to travel, which bring great
reproach upon those communities
and should make especial efforts to
eliminate them. A toll gate in Penn
sylvania in the year 1917 is as much
an anachronism as flint locks for the
soldiers going to France would be-

Traffic Congestion
1.-THE American City1

Some facts recently published in
Service. a publication issued by the
New York Railways Company, of
New York City. show that in the re-
tail section of Fifth avenue a pedes-
tran can beat taxicab during crowd
ed hours. In one instance, to go by
automobile from Forty-second to
Thirty-fourth street which is exactly
half a mile. took twenty-six min
utes. The Fifth Avenue Association
estimates that S750,00O a day is lost
through these increasing traffic
blockades. In one tabulation by the
car company 1t was shown that from
July l to November 80, 1915, q
street car was blocked by accident,
fire, vehicles or the tracks, ETC., once
every eight minutes
In suggesting remedies, the New
York Railways Company says:
Nearly 25 per cent. of these de-
lays were due to wagons and auto
mobiles on the tracks. 9
Without the interruption by vehicles,
It is safe to say, street railway serv-
ice could be 25 per cent more efflci-
ent than It is. Much of the
use Of tracks occurred also when
roadways on both sides were perfect

And while on this subject may we

ABAS THE CUTOUT

OTWITHSTANDING the efforts
IN of the Harrisburg Motor Club
and the general reprobation of
the community the cutout persists.
An ordinance regulating the use of
the public highways. together with
regulations of the police department,
provides:
Every motor vehicle using Raso-
line or other explosive mixture or
substance as motive power shall
at all times be provided with and
use muffier or other apparatus
SUFFICIENT to deaden the sounds of
the explosions.
Chief of Police wetzel and the
men of his force must realize that
this particular regulation is violated
openly and flagrantly in Harrisburg.
Life is hardly worth the living on
some of the streets of this city ow-
ing to the Internal racket resulting
from open cutouts on automobiles
and motorcycles. A certain class of
individuals appears to regard the
noisemaking contrivance as the ef-
ficient part OF the particular vehicle
which they happen to use. 1t is not
unusual for scores of these noise

One Language
kansas City Star1


1t is reassuring to learn that the
Department of Justice is not un-
aware of the seditious activities of
many newspapers printed in the Ger
man language in this country. The
utterances OF this reasonable press
are being closely noted and all the
government is waiting for, the At
torney General says, is a clear cut
case in which there will be no possi-
ltlity of failure to convict. There
after the government will be better
armed to fight this foe that hangs in
the rear.
Perhaps when this war is over and
Americans have chance to look
back and measure the danger that
was in this alien press they will
recognize the desirability of dis
couraging the use of all foreign Ian
erages in their country. English is
the language of the American DEM
ocracy and the desire to use 1t ought
1en's intent to leave behind him his
old allegiance and be faithful to his
new.
1t is plain that the use of for
eign language by the nationals of
another country has the strongest
tendency to draw and hold them
together and apart from the COM
munity in which they live. This Sc
gregatien is against everX American
interest. For one thing it has given
the politician the opportunity to con-
troll as solid" blocks the votes OF
these foreign speaking citizens who
are appealed to and who vote on
grounds that are nor american,
that do not give growth to the spirit
of Americanism and that tend to
separate the interests of communi-
ties and perpetuate racial evils.
That this constitutes a real dan
ger to our democracy the crisis of
the war has now demonstrated. AS
rapidly as possible all Americans
should come to the common Amer
lean tongue.

CARVING A MOUNTAIN TO
HONOR THE TOST CAUSE"

RY EARLY three years ago the
N proposal to memorialize the
Lost Cause" of the Confeder-
acy in fittins and permanent man
rer drew attention, finally, to the
possibilities of Stone mountain. near
Atlanta, Ga. This mountain, strange
ly prominent in contrast with the
general fiatness of the surrounding
country, has a precipitous, fiat face
of granite, 500 by 1900 feet in area;
and 1t was proposed to offer this
colossal tablet to the sculptor's
chisel.
Gutzon Borglum was awarded the
task of planning the form and de-
sign of the monument. The sculp-
tor, with an army of artists and
workmen, ssnow prepared to show,
in varying relief, the great army
of the Confederacy, moving across
the face of Stone mountain, ar
ranged to meet the ideas of beauti-
full grouping and display of the
forces in the field" All the i'm
portant Southern leaders will appear.
Writing in the Worlds Work, Mr..
Borglum describes his design as fol,
lows:
In my exhaustive study of the
beSI use OF the mountain Tor me-
mortal purposes 1 reviewed Egyp-
ton and Greek methods of utilizing
such an opportunity of carving great
single figures and the use of groups
and architecture. and. after consult
ing with the three or four ablest
men in America, it was agreed that
the northeast wall of Stone noun
tain only was available for great
carving, and that the surface here
was so extensive and because it
burst suddenly and as a whole upon
the eye of the observer, that only
a work which would or could ex-
tend over an important part Of the
face should be planned, as anything
else would be too trivial. Then it
was that the idea of definitely mass
ing groups of men that was determ-
ined upon, and, following that how to

Aircraft Again

"The extraordinary aerial and ar
tillery work" OF the italians, which
resulted in destroying the lines of
communication and all the main food
supply stations of the Austrians, is
given as the reason for the recent
Italian success. The fact is of es-
pecial interest in the United States
because we are depending on our
extensive aircraft program to achieve
similar results on the Western front
next year.
At present the airplane forces of
the Allies are about equal to those OF
the enemy. Neither side is able to
drive the other out OF the air, blind
the artillery and break UP communi.
cations except locally. But IL the
United States can give the allied
forces the overwhelming superiority
in the air by next summer, the Ger
mans will be at very great disad-
vantage. Indeed, unless expert opin-
ion is all Wrong. the disadvantage SO
created will eventually prove fatal

Who will take my part when
