A Weapon in Reserve

BY entente acceptance of the prin-
ciples of President Wilson's note a
new aspect is given to the proposed
economic league against the Teutonic
empires. Instead of fixed policy ii
becomes a weapon in reserve, to be
employed only if the war results in
an unfortunate peace that renders
militaryand trade safeguards against
German autocracy and militarism
still imperative.
If there is a peace with the ele-
ments of permanency the United
States will not countenance nor will
the other allies insist on such a
league. The original idea of the
league was. to cripple the resources
of mtlitarism and auLocracy so that
1t could not be a menace in future.
With that menace removed, as we
all must hope, by the war itself,
such measures. which will be prac-
tlcafly war measures carried forward
into times of peace, will not be JUS
titled.
On the other hand, IL the war
leaves militarism and autocracy still
dangerous the United States will rec
ognize that the struggle is not fin
ished. In self-defense 1t may be COM
PEELED to assent to measures to re,
tard the growth of their power for
evil as much as possible. 1t is large,
ly up to the German people to rem
der such steps unnecessary. But they
must realize that the Presidents re-
pudiation of trade wars after the
war does not apply to all circum-

Chinese Manual of War

The Chinese to-day are among the
most unmilitary of peoples, vet a
Chinaman wrote one of the earliest
manuals of war. And it contains
many truths that are applicable to-
day. Sonshi. who lived and wrote
$50 years before Christ, was this
Oriental authority. Among the broad
rules regarding warfare that he laid
down, and which are little changed
to-day, are these:
When before battle in council as
sembled consider we'll the plan of
campaign. For thereby victory may
be gained. They who haplessly fight
without plan are courting disaster.
War should be fought in the enc
my's territory. But the cost of sup
plying an army operating in a dis
tant state is large; If the war be
long and distant the citizens are
more likely to become impoverished
and to lose interest.
There never has been country
that has benefited from a prolonged
war"

RAILROAD MEN FOR FRANCE

A DEQUATE railroad facilities
~ are to play a large part in the
winning of the war now being
waged in Europe. France has given
so freely of her men that her rail-
roads have been neglected, and as a
part of our contribution, a thorough
ly modern railroad system is to be
built and maintained under direc-
ton of the American Army.
A few days ago orders were receiv-
ed at the local army recruiting head
quarters, 325 Market street, to en-
list railroad men for the task of
building and operating the railroads
of France. Hundreds are responding
and by the time sufficient railroad
men have been obtained to meet the
needs of the army, this section will
have given the very best it possesses
in the cause of humanity and lib
erty.
Harrisburg and Altoona are rail-
road centers of more than ordinary
importance. Both are located within
the territory of the local recruiting
office, which up to this time has led
the countryin the number of enlist
ments secured. In the new drive for
railroad recruits Harrisburg will do
her part to fight what the President
terms the final battle for the inde-
pendence of the United States"
Already, the Pennsylvania rail-
road, on it's lines east of Pittsburgh,
has given 2,700 men to the Army and
Navy. OF this number almost one
hundred have been appointed COM
missioned officers, and about fifty are
student officers in various training
camps.
There are almost $4,000 employees
of the Pennsylvania lines east of
Pittsburgh liable to draft. Many of
these workmen live within the zone
of the Harrisburg recruiting office,
and the response for American men
to build railroads that the men of
France may be free to repel the in
vader will meet with a fitting re-
sponse.
The opportunity is unusual Never
before have men been privileged to
offer their services where their eff
forts will count for more. This sec
tion is asked to give of the very
flower of its trained specialists, and
men who can really do things are
urged to respond. France must have
railroads. We must build them. We
must do the work well, and to ac-
complish this end, the Army must
have the best that the country af-
fords.

CHESTERTON FORESA w AN
ENGLISH-AMERICAN REUNION

That all our fruits be gathered,
And all our race take hands,
And the sea be a Saxon river
That runs through Saxon lands.
Deep grows the hate of kindred;
Its roots take hold in hell;
No peace or praise can heal it,
But a stranger heals it well.
Seas shall be red as sunsets,
And the kings bones float on foam,
And heaven be dark with vultures,
The night our son comes home.
Few persons foresaw in 1905 when
this poem was written that the Seas
shall be red as sunsets" and that the
two great Saxon nations should
brothers be in the worlds supreme
clash of arms. And, as Mr.. Slosson
points out, Chesterton lost faith and
repudiated his prophecy in these
words:
"I have come to see that our hopes
of brotherhood with America are the
same in kind as our hopes of broth
erhood with any other of the great
Independent nations of Christen-
DOM"
Mr.. Slosson's six Major Proph-
ets," in addition to Chesterton, are
Bernard Shaw, II. G.. Wells, F. c. S.
Schiller, John Dewey and Rudolph

Infantile Paralysis Germ

Infantile paralysis will soon cease
to be a battling disease. After Il
years research work in the labora-
tories of the Jewish Hospital, at
Philadelphia, physicians announce
that they have discovered the germ
for which scientists have been
searching for years. The announce
ment confirms the isolation of the
poliomyelitis germ by the Rockefel-
Ter Institute four years ago. The
medical triumph is the result of the
efforts of DR.. George D. Heist, DR..
Myer Soils Cohen and DIR. John A.
Kolmer. The work was carried on in
the Mastbaum Research Laboratory
established at the Jewish Hospital
through the generosity of Jules f.
Mastbaum. The laboratory was es-
tabliShed in the summer of 1916
when infantile paralysis was taking
the lives of scores of little victims
A few weeks ago. the investigators
were certain that they actually had
found the germ which causes infan-
tile paralysis. Realizing how unfair
it would be to buoy up the hopes of
parents of happy youngsters by any
announcement that could not be suS-
tained the result of the work was
taken up with the Rockefeller Iu-
stitute of New York, where positive
iSSuEdllGc WAS given lIldI Inc germ
founo was the cause of infantile
paralysis.
Until the present discovery no one
outside the institute has been able
to find these germs, although they
have been sought for by famous
scientists throughout the country
and abroad.
The Philadelphia research workers
have found the germ in patients who
died of infantile paralysis and IN
monkeys who died after being in
cculated with the disease. In adj
dilion to this they explain how the
germ can be easily isolated by other
Investigators.
These two steps were not all that
has been accomplished. The germ Il
so stained in the laboratory that /;
can be seen alive.
In addition to the work already
done, an investigation has been car
ried on that will go far toward set
Ting a controversy that has been
raging among scientists for the past
year as to the significance of a sec
ond germ that has been found in
cf.ldren and monkeys dying of in
fantile paralysis.

Beans

The greatest bean crop in United
States history is predicted for this
year. Last years crop was 100000
bushels. This years will be about
three times as large. 1t is good news.
The bean is a producer of protein
and q builder of muscle. 1t is first
class war food. In New England the
Saturday bean feast is almost a re-
ligious ceremony. Elsewhere the
bean has in days past been some
what scorned as a plebian among
the vegetables. Now is the beams day
to come into its own.
Beans are nitrogenous. They also
contain the essential carbohydrates.
Thus they combine the essential val
ues of both animal and vegetable
food. Governments have long real
lied the value of beans. They feed
beans to fighters. Our everyday
white bean Is we'll named the navy
bean" There is no better food for
husky seamen.
What is good for fighters is good
for those who stay at home. The
New England bean habit has pro-
duced strong men and women. 1t
will be fine year for those who do
not know the bean to make its inti-
mate acouaintance.-Clev Plain

VXTHEN Gilbert K. Chesterton,

TTTHEN Gilbert K. Chesterton,
w the English writer, was young
er by dozen years than he
is now he had a dream of a reunion
of England and America. This dream
he embodied in a poem he called
The Anglo-Saxon Alliance" Ches-
terton despaired of his dream later,
but that he prophesied better than
he knew is pointed out by Edwin Il.
Slosson, literary editor of the Inde-
pendent, in Six Major Prophets,
published by Little, Brown & Com
pany, as a companion book to Mr..
Slosson's Major Prophets of To-

of the poem:
This is the weird of q world old folk,
That not till the last link breaks,
Not till the night is blacklist,
The blood of Hengist wakes.
When the sun is black in heaven,
The moon as blood above,
And the earth is full of hatred
This people tells its love.

Under the whole worlds scorn,
BY blood and death and darkness

The sons OF Liberty God dwells on

Grant us the grace in the worlds
turmoil binding
To see earth's need and not forget
the sky.
Without thee we are nothing; in
Thy power
Lo, we can move the world to

In life. in death, in this and

Make us remember that we
trust in thee.
Grant us to do thy bidding and our
duty;
over our arms stretch out thy
mighty sword;
Give us to see the glory, and the
beauty
OF service that shall save thy peo-
pie, Lord.
Without thee we are nothing; in
thy power
Lo, we can move the world to
make 1t free.
In life, in death, in this and
every hour,
Make us remember that we
y trust in thee.
We would free broken nations pros
trate lying.
We would break tyranny and make
1t cease,
Prosper us thus far, living, Lord, or
dying;
Then give the world thy thousand
years of peace.
Without thee we are nothing; in
thy power
Lo, we can move the world to
make It free.
In life, in death. in this and
every hour,
Make us remember that we
trust in thee.

IT'S YOUR BUSINESS

TT has been the honest aim of this
newspaper to present the argu-
ments for and against the two
sites proposed for the new high
school building. Whether 1t shall be
located at Front and Boas streets
or upon the civic center now BEING
created in the Capitol Park zone is
a matter for those charged with the
responsibility of conducting our
school affairs to determine.
The people generally are too often
indifferent to these matters until ac-
tion has been taken and then a wild
protest goes up when too late. If
the community favors the site sug-
gested on the river front, then that
sentiment should be manifested in
some practical way. If, however.
there is stronger sentiment for the
North street site in the civic center
area, then no mistake should be
made in the final decision of the
question.
There are arguments for and
against both sites, but most people
who have been asked for their views
regard the proposed location on
North street as the logical site under
the conditions. 1t means greater con-
venience from the standpoint of ac-
cessibility, street railway facilities and
the outlook upon the most beautiful
park of which Pennsylvania may
boast in q short time. AS to the
other location, it is pointed out that
it is not so accessible as the location
on North street. and that while the
