THE OTHER WAR COUNCIL

The announcement that the allies were about to Gre
ate a general war council which should have charge of
the entire strategy Of the war reminded a good. many
people that at one time there was such q council, and no
notice has been given Of its abolition. Some two years
ago there was created such a council with General Joffre
at its head, and the declared purpose of that council was
exactly what is declared to be the purpose Of the council
which is just now the subject of such animated discussion
in the British parliament. What has become of that other
council? 81
One Of the numerous advantages which the Central
empires have in the war is that they all operate under one
leadership. The methods by which that state Of affairs
has been brought about have not always been to the Xix
ing of all the people interested. But whether pleasing or
not, the thing has been brought to pass. From the North
Sea and the 7eltic to the most distant Turkish outposts,
tho German government is boss Of the job.@The cam
paigns of the Teutons and Turks are mapped out in Ber-
lin, and German, Austrian, Turk and Bulgarian alike
carry out the orders Of the high command. General Lu-
.dendorff is generally credited with being the man in
responsibility rests on several, Ger1nany's three allies
that there are unity and coordination everywhere.
Such a condition could not be reached among the en-
tente nations in the sam manner by which it was reach
ed by the Teutons. No one of the great nations engaged
in warfare against Germany desires to dominate the 9TH
es. And the thing would be impossible even If the desire
existed Oh the part Of any nation. But the need for unit
ed action is there, nevertheless. 1t was supposed that
practical unity would be reached under the joint war
council Of two years ago. If the old council has disap-
psared it ia high time that another were formed. This is
one war, not . dozen. And one war can be carried on Of
fectively only under a single head.

Again the route turned southwark
along the river. At one point the party
passed one iof those heroic regiments
Of cavalry which acted as a rear guard
while the main Italian army retired
to he western bank of the Piave. The
cavalry horses had been tethered in a
vineyard. All the vineyards, haystacks
and gathered crops are being sacrifc-
ed in the present emergency. Nearing
the river h roads were full Of fright

The river at this point is extremely
narrow, with q long shoal through the
middle, Offering the enemy handy
means Of getting half way over. The
escorting officer said both channels
measured a total of 500 meters. or
about half . mile. It appeared trihing
as a military barrier. even with the
best Italian support. Its narrowness is
evident from the fact that those in
the party were compelled to speak in
whispers for fear of being heard by
the enemy on the other side Of the
stream.
From the upnar window Of = wave

river could be had. The Italian front
line ran just below the window and

LOBBY FLOOR OFNEWP PENN-HARRIS HOTEL TO
BE MODERN AND THOROUGHLY ATTRACTIVE


Some idea of the modern and thor
oughly attractive appointments of the
lobby floor of the new Penn-Harris ho-
tel to be erected at Third and Walnut
streets by the Harrisburg Hotel Com
pany, may be gained from the above
etching. ........
1t will be noted that the floor plans
of the rooms about the lobby floor show
a comfortable and convenient arrange
ment of individual rooms and suites.
on the main lobby floor the dining
room can be enlarged at will by in
Guiding the lounging room which ad
joins it on the Third street side. The
main lobby is on a slightly different
level on the same floor and fronts on
Walnut street. There are four private
dining rooms on the parlor floor 'front.'
ing Capitol Park, and these will be so
arranged as to make them convertible
into one room. The ballroom is on
the rear of the same floor. On the street
floor there are entrances on Walnut
and Third streets and a large grill
room on the northeast corner.
Bids Ready soon
The architects were given authority
to invite bids for construction of the
building and stated that they would
be ready for the contractors within a
week or ten days at most.
Definite approval of the plans was
given at a special meeting of the di-
rectors of the hotel company on Sat
urday afternoon when the collaborat-
ing architects, w. l. Stoddart, of New
York, and Esenwein * johnson, of Buff
falo. and Frank A. Dudley, president
of the United Hotels Company, were
here for conference. Mr.. Dudley an
nounced that application will be made
to the Secretary of the Commonwealth
for the Incorporation of the PennHar-
ris Hotel Company, which will be a
subsidiary of the United Hotels Com
pany which will operate the hotel He
also announced that Miller Brothers
will have charge of the leasing of the
storerooms on the Walnut street front.
1t is understood that there are already
a number of applications for these at
tractive shops.
Mr. Dudley was accompanied here
by Mr.. Carrigan. manager of the Rob-
ert Treat Hotel of the same company
at Newark. and by Mrs. Dudley. They
were driven over the city by +. Z. Wal
lower, president of the Harrisburg COR
poration.

even by Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg.
The extent of the unrest and the
attitude of the authorities toward it
is expected to be shown in the way
they treat publication of the Presi
dents address.
Too Late For Peace
Reports from Berlin that Count
CZernin. Austrian foreign minister, had
proposed a conference without cessa-
ton of hostilities caused surprise at
the State Department where it was
said that no such definite information
had been received. Count Czernin is
known here only to have said that the
Central Powers still considered open
their peace offer of December IL but
that he had added to that offer the
suggestion of a conference during
hostilities provided a new angle.
Officials felt at once, however, that
the time for such conference abso-
lutely has passed. The view is being
adopted here that no negotiations can
be begun until Germany has laid down
a general statement of terms as a
guarantee of good faith.
The United States apparently would
be as loath as the allies to enter a
blind conference.
throughout the world by the Presi
dents address on the present auto
cracy of Germany is expected to make
some curtailment of that autocracy
essential as a peace preliminary. The
British and French, even before the
terrible devastation of Northern
France, have many times. even in
high quarters, demanded actual capi-
tai punishment for a few leading
statesmen in Germany to whom the
war is attributed. The attitude of the
United States towards those officials
while not so bitter will nevertheless
tend to increase that feeling. 1t is
very probable, therefore, that a gen.
eral condition of peace Will be some
very decided action towards the auto
cracy.
While the Austrian. Bulgarian and
Turkish situation remains Just as it
was for the present so far as this
country is concerned it is probable
that Germany will force those nations
to her side. Austria. deeply affected
by freedom in Russia and fearful of
a break with this country; Bulgaria.

tiations on very reasonable terms.

ing the war a domination in those
countries which may not be broken.

officials had hoped to avoid a break
with Austria and have postponed it
as long as possible. Just after the
receipt of the Austrian note affirm
ing Germany's decree Count Tarnow-

as a result of this that Ambassador
