needs. OF course there was not much

people must have felt.

some of the people to make weak

gium should have stood back and let
the German army through and that
what has happened to the Belgians
is the result of their own stubborn

Germany is like q spoiled child. AL
though she may realize that the
things she does are not what other
nations do, yet because she Is Ger
many she is right. She is a nation
of self and can see no other nations
right. She is like boy who never
had been taught that other boys
property must not be touched, set
down in a school where the laws of
property are respected. She simply
reaches out and takes what she
wants, regardless of the sufferings
of others. And the only way Ger
many ever can be made to respect
other nations is to give her a thor

school must receive a good beating
before he lets other boys alone.
when the news that the Lusitanin
had been sunk came to Germany
there was great rejoicing, as every
body in America knows. Many Ger
mans still profess to think the Lus-
itania was armed. In the cOmmem-

aeropIane on her deck.
So far as getting what the great
mass of people in Germany really

Lemoyne has taken the aggressive

West Shore to Harrisburg. A COM
mittee of businessmen which has
been passing the petition among the
taxpayers announced to-day that out
of 162 taxpayers 160 signed in favor
of the move. Agitators of the move
think this is a remarkable showing
and are placing this fact before the
taxpayers of other boroughs at the
mass meetings being held this week.
Lemoyne has 500 voters. The re-
mainder of this number will be seen
within the next week in regard to
annexation.
The first meeting in regard to the
move in West F'airview was held last
night. About fifty taxpayers attend
ed the meeting. Much opposition TO
the move was evident at the outset
of the meeting, but after several
speakers explained the proposition
and much debating several were
converted to the move. The taxpay-

church bells

From early morning the church bells all over the
city had been tolling, tolling. l wondered if
some German defeat had been heard of or what
was the matter could get no person who could
tell me until | went to church.
The priest, after his sermon, then told us
that orders had come to take all the church bells
to make munitions of war of them
