Ready For Emergencies
buffalo News. ]

Fearless, Independent, free-little
Switzerland, ringed around with bel
ligerents is ready for emergencies.
Recognizing that the contestants in
the European struggle yearn to dash
across her territory to take advantage
of each other, the Swiss says Hands
OFF,"
She has served notice to all whom
it may concern that she will not per-
NIT her soil to be trampled on by the
invader nor have it Redeemed with the
blood of entente or central allies in
combat.
The fate of Belgium and Greece is
not to be Switzerland's experience If
that country can help IL.
And she declares she is ready to pre-
vent such happening and will meet
any attempt of the crazy war groups
to bring that about.
Nor is this an idle boast of the
Swiss.
Switzerland has a fighting force, a
real military strength, greater. than
that of this country.
She can raise a hundred thousand
men over night. She has done so
more than once.
Every male from IS years up to the
limit of endurance is a soldier to be

mands of the American people.
The point is easily illustrated.

The Muddle in Chicago
kansas City Times.1

Chicago has been having trouble
with its city government. The city
went "broke" for the last month in
the year and one of the newspapers
remarked that "the city council threw
the blame on the department heads
while the departments hurled the
blame back upon the aldermen" On
this situation it is worth while recall
ing the comment of the Saturday
Evening Post which was reprinted in
the Star Saturday:
Admittedly nobody in particular is
responsible for government in Chi
cago: nobody in particular conducts
it; the thing just runs itself in an i'm
pressionistic and opportunistic man.
ner. If the city's money has been
squandered there Is q mayor, a set of
department heads, n comptroller and
seventy or eighty aldermen-all dis
claiming any responsibility on their
own parts and nimbly hurting the
blame elsewhere. The Mayor prom
ised to close the saloons on Sunday;
but when it comes to keeping them
closed he points to the States attor-
ney, while the States attorney points
to him. Murders are disa greeably
common, for which the police blame
the courts, while the courts blame the
police. No matter what happens, no.
body is responsible; everybody can
very plausibly blame somebody else."
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Pretty
much every American city has had
that experience, But suppose Chicago
were managed by small board of di-
rectors elected by the people, and sup
pose the board hired the best man
they could get to run the city,
Then If things went wrong the peo-
pie would know whom to blame,

PUBLIC HALLS AND SAFETY

IF there is anything lacking in the
fire precautions at the Chestnut
Street Auditorium or any other
large or small hall in Harrisburg it
ought not to be necessary for the
Department of Labor and Industry,
through its inspection division, to en-
force compliance with the acts of as
sembly regulating such places. Har-
risburg is greatly in need of a large
exhibition hall and it has been the
hope of our people for some years
that some enterprising company or
group of individuals would provide a
great building for public purposes.
AS a convention city Harrisburg is
especially in need of some such build
ing. Several times it has been sug-
gsted that a great structure could be
erected on largest Island, but it has
always been opposed on the theory
that the location would involve bridge
tolls and difficulty of access. How
ever, it ought not to be difficult to
appointed building where such large
gatherings as conventions, fruit
and automobile shows, athletic enter
tainments and other similar events
could be held with ample exits and
complete precautions against fire or
panic of any sort.
Inasmuck as the Chestnut Street
Auditorium is now the largest avail
able of the larger halls of the city,
the complaint which has been made
by Chief Inspector Palmer upon the
grounds of barred doors and in
adequate exits should not compel
legal proceedings to enforce better
conditions. We do not think it will
be necessary to invoke the law in
bringing about an entirely satisfac-
tory condition at the auditorium.
Where there is danger to human
life no argument ought to be required
to remedy those conditions to which
attention has already been drawn in
official reports to the Department OF
Labor and Industry. Under the act
of May 3, 1909, those charged with
responsibility of managing large halls
are liable "for damages in case OF
death or personal injury the result OF
fire or panic, and such actions for dam
ages may be maintained by any per-
son now authorized by law to sue as
in other cases of loss by death or in
juries."

CONCERNING FOREIGN TRADE

CPEAKING of our foreign trade
y during the second period of the
war, DR.. E. E. Pratt, of the De-
partment of Commerce. says:
Most important of all, perhaps. is
the great increase in our exporta-
tions of manufactured goods and
the decrease in our imports of such
goods.
Everybody knows the reason for
our increase in expectation of manu-
factured goods. Huge consignments
of explosives. machine tools, copper,
sugar, steel products of all kinds, au-
tomobiles. ETC., leave this country each
day for belligerent Europe. Nobody
expects that traffic to be permanent.
But, contrary to DR.. Pratt's state
ment. our importations of manufac-
tured goods are on the Increase. Dur
ing the nine months ended September
1915, our importations of mnnufac
lures for further use in manufacture
ing and manufactures ready for con-
sumption totaled s570, 900, 900. COM

the same sort of testimony as to paper

be content with uniform municipal
government cut by the legislators on
Capitol Hill over q pattern designed
to fit all of them of a given "class"
and which really fits none of them.
Erie, for instance, is a maratime
city, while Harrisburg is an interior
manufacturing. wholesale shipping
and railroad town. Yet the two, whose
needs are vastly different, must willy
nilly be guided by precisely the same
basic municipal government law.
The Legislature could confer a
great boon upon the cities and rid
itself of a vast amount OF needless
pickering and costly legislation if it
gave the voters an opportunity to
change the constitution of the State
so as to permit cities to frame their
own charters and outline their own
forms of government, always, of
course, within the constitutional pro-
visions of the Commonwealth itself.

of which were under the unrestricted
operation of the WILSON, Underwood

ly $60.000,000 worth came in during

these importations show an increase

reason to believe that the record for

TAFTS WARNING TO AMERICA
HX-PREsIDENT TAFT has broken

EA-PRESIDENT TAFT has broken
L. his post-election silence to sound
word of warning to America.
He emphasizes, in one of his charac-
teristic trade board speeches. that
Whatever goes up must come down.
It's the bump at the end that concerns
Mr.. Taft and with which he is now
trying to concern Americans. He sees
a scale of living set by unusually pros
porous conditions, which scale, when
once fixed as a family habit, is most
difficult to revise downward.
To the distinguished speakers no.
ton there are many heartaches,- much
industrial confusion, some bitterness
and a lot of dissatisfaction ahead in
the readjustment of this country to
normal world conditions after u gen.
eral declaration of peace.
Here is the farmer. for instance,
who has been averaging $3.50 per
bushel for wheat during war times as
against about so to 80 cents on an
average in normal times. His cost of
harvesting is practically the same. But
when his undue and unsound profits
per bushel again give place to those
yielded in meeting the grain of other
nations now at war he will feel the
shock. Then the case of the American
manufacturer. He has come upon
years of plenty following lean years.
And he, too, has run amuck. Con-
ditions over which he had no control
have turned his head. Instead of good
old fashioned business football he has
quickly learned the squeeze play and
is using his knee on his fallen oppo-
nent when the umpire isn't looking.
In point is the example of paper
manufacturers. a taste of the peak
of prosperity has sent them yelping
wildly and showing a suspicious foam
at the mouth among their customers

THE ALLIES, REPLY

ONG and bitter warfare is in
- dicated by the reply of the Allies
to President Wilson's peace note.
The terms they lay down are those of
conqueror and it is not to be be-
lieved that Germany will accept them
except by compulsion.
Two points not mentioned in the
''terms" force themselves upon the
mind of the thoughtful reader. In
the first place the Allies appear to be
entirely confident of eventual victory
and united in tkeir determination to
carry the war to q successful con-
clusion at any cost. The other point
is that the diplomacy of the Allies
which dictated the note made public
last night is the kind that wins con-
fidence in America. 1t is the shirt
sleeve" variety, with the cards on the
table and no joker in the deck. Theirs
is the first clear statement of the pur-
poses of the war and the ends in view.
Either Germany must now cease its
darkroom methods and come out in
the open with an equally frank state
ment or be convicted of all the things
her enemies.
The terms of the Allies as briefly
set forth are as follows:
The restoration of Belgium, OF
Serbia and of Montenegro and the
The e1aeuSti0n %Sn ofe Of the "s Invaded
territories OF France, of Russia and
of Rumania, with Just reparation.
guaranteed BY stable regime and
founded as much upon respect of
Inieationalities, and fun security security and
possess. as upon territorial con-
Ventions and international agree
ments suitable to guarantee terri
torial and maritime frontiers
against unjustifed attacks.
The restitution of provinces or
territories wTested in the past from
the Allies by force or against the
will of their populations.
The liberation of Italians, of
Slavs, of Rumanians and of Tcheco
Sloyaks from foreign domination;
The enfranchisement of popula-
tions subject to the bloody tyranny
The expulsion from Europe of the
Ottoman Empire, which has proved
itself so radically alien to western
civilization.
Only on one point are tie Allies not
clear-and that is as to the fate of
that may be settled at any time by
the asking of a single question. Un-
less the American viewpoint has been
misread there will be q great popular
sentiment here for the return of these
colonies to Germany and the payment
in cash of any indemnity that may
be required following an Allied vic
tory
The one disquieting note in the
whole program is the apparent agree
ment to deal unfairly with Austria
and some of the Balkan states in favor
of Italy and Rumania, in the allot-
ment to them of territory in the form
of loot" to which it is doubtful if
they are justly entitled. and which, if
the program is carried out, might
easily become such a fostering sore
as Alsace and Lorraine proved for Ger
many and just as incentive to strife
and bloodshed.
Generally speaking, however, AM
orleans will receive the Allied reply
as a fair statement of what they are
striving for and what they expect to
achieve and even the friends of Ger
many in the United States will be
grieved, although they may not ad-
init it, if Germany does not respond
as fully and as clearly setting forth
the Germanic point of view regarding
the terms of peace.

"Prussianizing the schools" is the
term the New York World uses for
military training of pupils. Better that
than to have the whole country truly
"Prussianized" some day.
