BAKERY ON WHEELS

Fresh bread at any and all times
for American soldiers will be pos
silde if the War Department APP
proves and adopts the portable au-
tomato brcad-maKing machine, that
is now being demonstrated at the
Preside at San Francisco, and de-
termines uDon their installation. The
bread maker is the invention of
James GarVey, and its adaptation to
the motor truck has been brought
about by Ralph Hamlin, says the
Power Wagon,
Bread that is fresh and highly pal
atable is very much desired by SOL
diers, but at the present time there
is no way to keep them supplied with
it when at the front. Usually the
bakery is far in the rear, or there is
no fresh bread at all. But with such
n machine as Garvcy has designed
mounted on a motor truck chassis, il
is believed possible to overcome this
difficulty as the vehicle is we'll able
to keep up with any other part of
the transport, and the bread proluc-
ing speed is sufficient to supply any
need quickly.

RABBIT, SHEEP, WORM

A Rabbit, Sheep, and a Wriggly
Worm
(Three. ardent pacifists they)
Were overheard discussing the war
In a pasture field one day.
The Rabbit Che spoke as rabbits do
With trembly quivering chin)
Said: They're draftin' folks to go
an fight
But they needn't count me in"
MY heart is weak, 1 have chilly feet,
Good reasons to be exempt
What do / care, if 1 save my skin,
For words and looks of con-
tempt"
"Baa, baa!" said the Sheep. You're
right, quite right
I'm busy now raisin' wool,
1 amt got time fer to go an fight,
The sheep that fights is a )ol."
Here, here!" twas whisper from
the Worm
This wars not our affair,
It's a rich folks war, and further
more
hear many worms declare"
1--WE are fightin' another countrys
fight,
The quarrel is not our own"
l say: Let 'em sink what ships they
They'll leave you and me alone"
"I think"-but a shadow passed o'er
head
The Sheep went off at q bound.
The Rabbit streaked for the shelt'r-
ing wood
And the Worm crawled under
ground.
I have heard a young man-native
born
Say: "This is a Wall Street War"
NO one has landed upon our shores.
What are we fighting for?"
/ have heard a selfish business man
Say: I'm too busy these days,
1 have no time for this fighting
stuff
I tend to business-tbat pays"
have heard such t .lks as this
thrown off;
This fight is England's fight"
"The Germans would never have
troubled us
If we had but acted right"
"If our vessels had all been held at
home
We would have no cause for strife.
If our people had all kept off the
sea
There'd have been no loss of life."
When / hear, from men, remarks
like these
I'm ready to then affirm
A mild respect for the timid Sheep,
The Rabbit, the Wriggly Worm.

ASHES AND CARRIAGE

THERE appears to be little i'm
mediate relief in the way of ade-
quate ash and garbage collec-
tions in Harrisburg. Conditions are
bad and give little promise of be-
coming better. Every resident is af-
fected and every candidate for Coun-
Gil should be pledged now to do his
best to arrange for prompt collec-
tons If elected. The ash and gar
bage problem is the most annoying
that now confronts the city. No
Councilmanic nominee should be
permitted to dodge responsibility on
this issue.

VI 1orth bulgaria as a Dove oil
Peace to see whether there is
anything green among the Allies,
and if there is, to bring it to Pots
dam, where there is a demand for
encouragement far exceeding the
supply.
Bulgaria has been doing nothing
for the Kaiser for some time. Now
it has an opportunity to render MIN
a real service. He is riding for fall.
He knows perfectly we'll that he can
not win, but pride restraints him
from pulling out, and there is little
danger that he may be thrown.
Therefore he is looking diligently
for a soft place where he can fall
without too great q risk of breaking
his neck.
The Kaiser can't sue for peace; bis
pride as Hohenzollern, his obliga-
tions as a War Lord, forbid. But II
Germany's allies should give up, of
course, 1t could not be expected to go
on fighting the whole world alone.
1T could open negotiations for cessa-
ton of hostilities with the minimum
of humiliation. So Bulgaria's agents
in a neutral country have sought and
obtained an opportunity to state the
terms on which it would like to pull
out of the wreck. 1t wants Mace
donia, but is perfectly willing that
Servia should be indemnified out
of Bulgaria's ally, Hungary.
This shows the amount of affection
both the Kaiser and Bulgaria enter
tain for their ally.
If Bulgaria can get out of the war
the bitterness to Germany of seeking
peace would be materially reduced.

A DOUBTFUL COMPLIMENT

T HE advance agent of Secretary
McAdoos western tour was
quoted as saying that Mr.. Nc
Adoo was running the whole Treas
ury Department from his car en-
route. This was intended as a COM
pliment, but every business man
knows that it either is not true or
that if the Secretary is trying any
such stunt the public service is suf-
fering. 1t does not lie within the
power of any one man-not even
miracle man Hoover" to run b
whole department at a distance of
5000 miles, and do it effectively. Be-
sides, such statements as that are
not likely to create a very favorable
impression in the minds of people
who have to wait unreasonably long

READ; THEN GO BUYl

u FAD DR.. Hills speech in the
~ Telegraph this evening-and
then go out and do one of two things;
either enlist or buy Liberty Bond.
1t is unthinkable that you will not
do either.
Never has an American audience
been given a more striking picture
of the frightfulness of the German
military machine in France and Bel
GUM, or more vivid illustrations of
what is in store for America if the
Hun is victorious in Europe, than
that presented by DR.. Hills at Chest
nut street hall. Nobody who attended
last nights meeting or who reads
the text of the speakers remarks
will be able to ask himself again.
why are we at war;"
DIR. Hills presented no secondhand
information. Every item of his dis
course he Investigated for himself.
He has the documentary evidence to
back up his every assertion. His
testimony would stand in any court.
f1e has convicted the Gern.Ln gov
ernment and the Germany soldiery
of the most CHASTITY crimes in the his
tory of the world. He has proved
them the unspeakable beasts they
are. He has shown us what would
happen right here in Harrisburg If
the German armies win in Europe
for as sure as sermon follows text,
the United States is next on Ger
scheme of world conquest.
Picture it for yourself-the Ger
mans in Harrisburg, our beautiful
buildings laid waste, the Capitol in
ruins, firing squads lining our old
men and young up before their
homes and shooting them dead in the
sight of weeping mothers and wives;
wives and daughters snatched from
the arms of their loved ones, torn,
outraged and murdered, while pa
rading Huns march about with babies
impaled upon their glittering bayo-
nets! And all that stands between
that and us is the gathering armies
and the billions of dollars of the
great American republic.
What are you going to do about it?
Are you going to enlist or will you
buy a Liberty Bond?
And if you do neither, how can
you square yourself with your con-
science?

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

X ALTERING war clouds have
r not been able to distract the
vision of those whose duty it is
tq plan for the future growth of
Harrisburg. Occupied as the city
planners have been with Red Cross,
War Council and Liberty Loan cam
paigns, they have yet found time in
which to think about the Harris
burg that will be a flourishing city
long after the present world war
shall be a mere matter of grewsome
history. Witness the North Third
and Green streets development as
outlined by the Telegraph of Tues
day evening. That is a striking
example of the kind of thing that is
being done at the weekly meetings
of the Planning Commission.
The land lying between Green and
Third Streets north of Division for
a distance, is low and is flooded in
places by large and flowing
springs. The Planning Commission
b proper planting and landscape dec
orations, Transforming a none toe
desirable piece of property into q
very attractive residential district
and giving to the West End bit OF
park area that promises to add
greatly to the beauty of the dis
trict. 1t is not often that it is pos
sible to make such a marked i'm.
provement at such moderate cost
and it may be remarked in this con-
nection that 1t would not have been
brought about had it not been for
the Planning Commission. Under
the old method of procedure some
real estate promoter would have
come along, bought the land filled
up the low spots, severed the
springs into the river and-a beauty
spot would have been lost forever
to the people. The skilled men al
the helm of the Planning Commits
sion alone saw the possibilities and
took advantage of them. This kind
of thing. on less marked scale. is
happening all over the city and in
it's suburbs where the city planners
have opportunity to look toward the
future in making changes or in out
lining developments.
Now is not the time for bond is
sues to cover public improvements
desirable though they may be. The
resources of the nation must be con.
served for the vital task of waging
a successful war, but 1t is inspiring
to know that there is in the service
of the city body of men who, with
unclouded vision, are looking to-
ward the fair tomorrow, when our
attention shall be again turned for
the betterment of our immediate
surroundings and who, through all
the stress and turmoil of the times
are working and thinking, SO that
when we are ready for the new and

Washington. Aug. 31.-Divided fore
es among those opposed to the finance

After many conferences and cloak
room meetings, all factions in the biz

they couldn't win because the commit.

Smoot said he had sympathy with
public sentiment for CONSUMPTION Of
wealth and held that the finance com
mittee's amendment increasing war

wealth conscription.
"It's too bad you didn t find ont
