Evolution Of the Hut

The conical hut Of the reindeer
epoch, built of branches and twigs, sue
ceeded the cave. The main prop Of
these earlier huts was tree, around
which branches were fastened, the
spaces between the twigs being filed
up with rushes, turf, grass and clay.
Man was then able to cut wood with
stone axes, to combine various ele-
ments for the protection and defense,
and to become a more powerful az
gressor In the animal kingdom. It
was step, and but step, In ad-
vance. Then followed the third and
last period of the stone age, represent
ed by the cavernous dwellings con-
structed Of gigantic monolithic stone,
and rooted over with the rough
branches and trunk of trees. The FAM
Gus dolmens, cromlechs and similar g.
gantic structures Of stone, hitherto
supposed to be the work of the Drulds,
are now believed to be the remains Of
the neolithic age.

this Christmas, inviting US to inquire
into their merits. They belong to q
new order Of the beloved rag dolls

cotton or yarns, outlines the Jackets,
makes ties and garters and represents

THE BRorHERHooD's PART

NN another page to-day there ap-
pears an item telling of the
action of Lodge No. $50. Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen, free
ing enlisted members from the pay
ment of dues during their period in
the service, thereby guaranteeing to
all members the sick, disability and
death benefits of the organization.
This is like the railroad men, than
whom there are no more generous,
big-hearted people in the country.
The Brotherhood is doing it's bit in
the war, even though the government
is anxious to exempt many of them
from actual military service in order
that transportation be not curtailed.
The trainman. the engineer and
the fireman fully understand the
duty of the soldier, which is to obey
orders no matter what the personal
danger. Railroad men look death
in the face everyday and do not
finch In the trenches or on the
trains they invariably give good ac-
count of themselves.

FOOL CONTROVERSIES

THE government is beset by ali
manner of fool controversies
which are holding up plans for
the prosecution of the war. Every
days delay spells death to hundreds
in the trenches, yet the little men at
washington go on debating and dis
cussing and arguing-heatedly try
ing to enforce their own views. some
or them purely selfish, while the in
dignation of the public grows apace.
The Goethals-Denman incident is
an example. General Goethals. recog-
nized as one of the most practical
and efficient men in the world. is
throttled by the trifiing Denman,
Pacific coast lawyer, who thinks he
knows more about great industrhl
problems than the digger of the
Panama canal. Goethals has reached
the limit of his patience and threat
ems to resign, in order that some
thing, at least, may be accomplished
toward the development of the
much-needed merchant marine. II

ton to let him go and put Denman
at the wheel, but it is to be hoped
that in this case efficiency and ma
tional ned may be put in front of
political preferment, which is said to
have been largely responsible for the
appointment of Denman.
The country wants action and it
knows Goethals to be a man we'll
fitted by talent and experience to
do the great work contemplated in
the lease possible time. If Denman
is permitted to crowd him into the
discard the rising indignation of the
people will record that as another
point to be explained when the
proper time comes.

With the disappearance of the toll

wAsHBURN, the war
\ correspondent now serving on

CN1ANLE1 WASHBU RN, the war
- correspondent now serving on
staff of the American Commits
sion to Russia headed by Elihu
Root, analyzes for the National Geo
graphic Society the attitude of mind
of the German soldier and his idea
of what he is fighting for, as follows:
It is difficult for Americans to
realize the discipline and lack of in
tellectual initiative which exists in
the German army and among the
German people.
Ever since he became emperor,
Wilhelm has beeen tnstilling his eX-
traordinary beliefs into his army and
into his people, until to-day we have
a psychology in the Teuton empire
which probably will make it pos
sible for the military autocracy to
continue the war to a far greater
length than would be conceivable in
any other country in the world.
In the early '90s the kaiser
sounded the keynote of his own
character and point of view in a
speech he made to a regiment in
Northern Germany, when he said
to them:
IT would rather see my As million
Prussians dead on the field of battle
than see one foot of the soil taken
III 10 ~ SlN6H pdCh 10 Il
And several years later. in address,
ing a body of recruits in Potsdam,
the kaiser is reported to have said:
Now that you have donned my
uniform it must be your pleasure
and your duty to follow my wishes,
| realizing that 1 rule Germany by
the direct will Of God, and you must
willingly obey my commands, even
though 1 require you to shoot down
your own fathers and brothers in
| response to my dictates"
With such ideas as these being in
stilled into the Germany army and
German people year by year, we
must not believe that at the first
sign of reverse they will forget the
teachings of forty years and demand
consummation of immediate peace;
and we must likewise realize that a
revolution in Germany at this time
has far less opportunity for sue
cess, for there is every probability
that the German soldiers would fire
upon their own people with the
same subservience to their officers
that they show in all their military
operations.
While the military operations in
the west are of vast Importance to
the situation and must unquestion-
ably demoralize the Germans to a
certain extent, I see no reason to
believe that recent events in France

Camp Sites Stir Trouble

Dissatisfaction is expressed in
many quarters with the selection of
the sites for training camps for the
new army. Although no complaint
has been made concerning Yaphank,
Long Island, recent dispatches indi-
cate that there may be some after
the 40, 900 conscripts arrive.
Already the government is finding
it impossible to retain the services of
the workmen required to put the
place in shape, even at wages rang
ing from $3.75 to IS a day. The la
borers declare that they get $50
worth Of mosquito bites every eight
hours.
Even Yaphank admits that it's a
bad year for mosquitoes. Soldiers
who have been employed on the
grounds wear netting constantly, and
even then find it impossible to avoid
the pests.
The feud between Lexington and
Louisville has reached n new inten-
sity since Louisville was selected as
a camp site. Until then Louisville
may have basked in the grateful no
ton that at least it knew what Lex
ington thought of it.
Indiana is Vexed that it's rolling
acres are overlooked and Hoosier
boys packed off to southern camps.
Decrying pork barrel methods, "
The Rocky Mountain News points
out that noTnore healthy, accessible,
beautiful or patriotic site could have
been selected than Denver. In his
generous, open-hearted way the
Rocky Mountaineer offers to benefit
the nation as a whole by taking some
10000 soldiers to his bosom.

THE KUPONA

CONSIDERABLE interest has been
shown in the last few days re-
gaSdingthe program for the an
nual ''Kipona," the great river car
nival which has already made Har-
risburg famous. Admiral j. William
Bowman is giving the matter consid-
Grafton and while the war may in
terfere to some extent with the usual
elaborate arrangements it is likely
some observance will be helc on
Labor Day.
1t is the thought of those who were
responsible for creating the Greater
Harrisburg Navy that there could be
developed out of this organization a
strong body of boosters for the i'm
provement of the Susquehanna
Basin. Already good results have fol-
lowed the first two annual events and
it is believed with the coming o:
peace even more attention than be-
fore will be given to the proper
treatment of the great aquatic play
ground of the people.
The river front, the basin and the
many beautiful islands in the river
constantly attract the favorable at
tention of visitors and while. we can
not hope to accomplish all that is
desirable in one year or even a de-
cade the plans which have been dis
cussed from time to time may be
adequately worked out and progress
made from year to year.

where newspapers are choked to
death when they tell the truth about
the autocracy or protest against
some new governmental outrage
upon the people, but will not go in
the United States. If the little men
who are being kept in places Of
authority are to be permitted to
muddle the plans of this great
country for a stupendous conflict,
involving the rights and liberty and
lives of our citizens, then those re-
sponsible for such misfits in official
dom must bear the onus of the
burden.
Not much has been said in the
newspapers about the efforts to sup
press every atom of information con-
corning the movement of troops, but
army and navy officers privately
criticise the extra secretive methods
which have been employed. especially
with regard to the sending of our
men to Europe. While there has
been no question of the good judg-
ment in avoiding publicity as to the
points of departure, it has been said
by experienced officers that no harm
would have followed a patriotic
sendoff for those who are now on
the fighting line in France at their
home stations.
The time has come for a recogni-
ton at Washington of ordinary good
sense and for business efficiency in
handling the big problems which
confront the nation.

BROADER PARK sTRIP

= n view of the increasing popular
ity of the park strip along the
river and the need for larger IA
cilities to accommodate the people,
provision should be made to increase
the width of the strip from Maclay
street northward so that walk could
be provided and additional benches
for those who appreciate the pleas
ure and beauty of the river fringe. A
proper survey of this strip with d
view to establishing a line for filling
out the top of the embankment
would save the city a large expendi-
ture hereafter, inasmuch as the work
could be done as the materials are
made available in the development
of the northern section of the city.
