GERMANY AND BELGIUM

r EFT nobody be deceived by the
Ioffer of Germany TO restore Bel
gium, retaining certain German
interests there, splitting up govern
ment control and paying a part of
the war damage"
The ruling classes of Germany are
in desperate plight. They are trying
to keep the German people at peace
with their government. They are try
ing to set themselves right before
their own home folks. They are
playing for time and their own
necks. If they can make peace now
with themselves still in the saddle
they will be able to prepare for an
other world war, when the time is
ripe. They will be able to retain
what they have won in many quar-
ters of Europe on the field of bat
tie. But if they lose public confidence
at home, if the allies defeat them in
the war, their case is hopeless.
When Germany gives up Belgium
it must be without restrictions and
Germany's share of the Belgian war
Indemnity must be the whole. This
therefore, is no time to talk peace;
| it is time to make war more Wig
orously than ever.

IHHE Chamber of Commerce sur.
- vey report reveals conditions
that may be bettered in the ad.
ministration of the school system oi
Harrisburg. AS many have sus-
pected, things have grown up in the
school organization that should be
eliminated, and many opportunities
for Improvement are pointed out
But the public should differentiate
between methods and officials. 1t Is
the system, not the school employees
nor the teachers. which is at fault,
the report indicates.
The experts who made the survey
go out of their way to compliment
the administrative force on the hearty
manner in which it's members CO.
operated to get to the bottom of con-
ditions as they exist. 1t would do
the hard-working, efficient school Of
ficials a grievous wrong to blame
them for matters that have been
solely in control of school directors,
a great majority of whom have
passed out of the public service.
The survey has laid bare faults in
school methods that should be cor
rected and evils that should be eli
minated. It should be made the basis
for careful consideration on the part
of the School Board and the public
should be given an official and con-
crete statement as to just what the
board means to do.

ALL IN FAMILY

At q recent dinner, given in his
honor by the Society of Kcntuck-
ians in New York, Champ Clark, re-
spending to the address of welcome,
told this story:
He said that the corner of the
old State in which he was born had
in it quite a colony of members of
the family that gave Abe Lincoln to
the Nation. They were as poor as
were most of the residents of the
neighborhood in those early days.
One of the more prosperous men,
bers of the tribe was an uncle of the
future emancipator. This man, so
Champ Clark said. had a good share
of the wit and the common sense
and some of the physical charac-
teristic of his great nephew.
LAS a small boy" said the mar
rator, II remember the old fellow
very well. One night, as he slept in
his log cabin, his wife nudged him
into wakefulness; and then he heard
sound of squawking in the hen
house.
"'Get up-quick! said the wife.
Somebody's after our chickens. Take
your gun and shoot at 'em before
they get away
NO said the old man as he set
tied back In bed; 4 reckon I'd rather
not do that. 1 might kill Gome of

FRIENDLY WITH BERLIN

Many of the German citizens in the
City of Mexico are related to Ameri-
cans, and they correspond freely with
residents of the United States. They
receive all the American newspapers
and magazines, and are able to keep
themselves almost as we'll informed
about events in the United States as
the German embassy in Washington
was before diplomatic relations were
broken. Though it is impossible to-
day to send information to Berlin
from Mexico by wireless, the mail
route, via Cuba. is still open to Spain,
and from that country the German
representatives have the use of an
uncensored wireless.
A few weeks ago, when there were
reports that German agents in Mex
leo were plotting against the United
States, President Carranza summon
ed the German minister to inform
him that the government would not
permit attacks on friendly govern
ment to be hatched on Mexican soil.
The Germans to-day are working
quietly, with but one object: they
know that after the war, when the
real fight for raw materials and com
mercial supremacy will begin, the
greatest possibilities for Germany lie
/ in Mexico. That country has many
of the raw materials Germany will
need; and the Germans figure that
it will be easier for German mer-
chants to buy in Mexico, if that
country remains neutral, than in any
belligerent land. For this one reason
alone it is highly in the interest OF
the kaisers government that Mexico
shall remain friendly with Berlin

For long time it has been the

The woods have found votaries-in

Now necessity, that taught frugality
to our fathers. is to take the helm

There is no denying that fact that
we were becoming decadent. We
were ultra fastidious. We asked too
much of life. Our lavishness made
precedent for reckless squandering
of tips in Europe's hotels.
Now 1t is going to be "modish"
to be frugal. Thus does necessity
compromise with obligation.
The result ultimately will be for
national good. Artificial stimulants
in the way of superfiuous entertain
ment will, for time, at all events.
