LANSDOWNE'S LETTER

ORD LANSDOWNE'S letter sug-
gesting a restatement Of the
peace terms of the allies before
the civilized world is brought to ruin
by war, is untimely only with re-
spect TO the fact that it was made
public at an inauspicious moment.
Lord Lansdowne must know that
the United States, for one, cannot
quit this conflict until it is assured
that The menace of Prussianism is
for all time removed. and while we
have no desire, as he says, to die
tate the form of government Ger
mans shall choose for themselves, we
government as would put women
and children before the lines of its
soldiCry advancing on an enemy, as
did the Germans in Italy the other
day.
What Lord Lansdowne meant to
accomplish by his letter probably
was to impress upon the German
people the wisdom and Importance
of reforms at home which auto
matically, so to speak, would bring
about a permanent and lasting peace
for the very simple reason that the
allies would be left without excuse
for fighting. But the great danger
is that the German government will
choose to misunderstood and the
juggling editors of Germany will use
the letter to make the public believe
England is weakening. For this rea-
son. as well as to impress upon Ber-
lip that the allies have no thought
of quitting the war short of the
enGs at which they aim. it is proper
that the Lansdowne letter be stamp
ed as unofficial and as expressing
merely individual opinion.

WE STAND FOR VICTORY

President Wilson's instructions to
Colonel House in Paris have the
true ring. There must be unity of ac-
ton on the part of all Allied armies
on the battlefronts. There must be
unity of purpose on the part of all
Allied forces behind the armies.
Americas matchless food supplies
and other resources must be regard
ed hereafter as belonging to our AL
lies who are fighting our battles for
us. The armies of France and Eng
land and Italy must in the same way
be looked upon as American armies
which must go on fighting for us.
We are all fighting one enemy. We
are all defeated when any one of
the Allies Is defetaed by Germany.
We all win when one of the Allied
armies crumples up a Teutonic foe.
A final triumph for the Kaiser is q
catastrophe alike for all the Allies
and the United States, while a final
defeat for the Kaiser is an everlast-
ing benefit. So there must be unity
of action in all the armies and unity
of purpose behind them. One great
council must dominate all and direct
all while every nation contributes to
its uttermost what 1t has to give.
That is the quickest and by far tho
cheapest way to win the war. The
very thing the Kaiser breads most
is .. solid, determined front, moved
by one will and resolved as one man
to smash him at any cost.-Philadel-
phia Telegraph.

DON'T BE PUFFED UP

lDeIrOlC free PreSS.
To those of us who have a ten
dency to be overconfident of the SUI
perior ability of our soldiers there
is a valuable warning in the fate of
the first American skirmish detach-
ment on the west front. The men
who composed the detachment We're
good men, brave men and within
the limits of their experience capa-
bic men, but they became an easy
prey to the German veterans of
three years.
We must expect great deal of
this sort of thing ut first. Every
nation now in the war has had the
same experience as long US its SOL
diers were raw recruits, and there
is no innate superiority, no special
God-given dash of genius with us
which will magically render our
men immune from the ordinary vic
issitudes of battle. Until the SOL
diers of the republic are seasoned
to modern warfare they must re-
main more or less in tutelage and
be content to learn humbly and care
fully of the French and British eX-
perts, who are assisting both officers
and men to become proficient in the
big game. The jeers of the Ger
mans must also be accepted with set
teeth until the time comes for maxi
ing the Germans laugh out of the
other corners of their mouths. If
in the end our troops and our Off
GERS and our artillery arrive at a de-
>ree of effectiveness comparable with
the effectiveness of the French and
British troops and officers and artil-
lery we may be very well satisfied
and any accomplishments beyond
this may be considered a surplusage
of excellence.

PUBLIC OPINION

The outstanding feature of the
agreement just entered into by the
United States and Japan is the rec
ognition of Japans special inter-
ests" in China. When we add to
this admission the fact that both
nations guarantee the independence
and the territory of China and stand
together in upholding the open door
for commerce, we have, as Secre-
tary Lansing says, a policy (which is
the very foundation of Pan-Ameri-
canism as interpreted by this gov
ernment."
Glorious as have been the conse-
quences of the Monroe Doctrine for
peace, Justice and democracy in
America, the compact now made be-
tween the dominant powers of the
Pacific must be even more momen-
tous for Asia. We accept in princi-
pie Japan's claim of particular rights
in relation to its great neighbor.
Japan in return binds itself with
our reservation to pursue as to that
republic the same lofty idealism with
which President Wilson clothed our
own Monroe Doctrine when he
pledged the United States never to
acquire another foot of territory by
conquest.
This understanding, which en-
braces also military measures of inn
portance, was made possible by Wis.,
count lshiis sincere and highly tact
ful efforts to remove prejudices and
suspicious fostered largely by Ger
man. intrigue and viciously aided by
American and Japanese demagogues.
Arrived at on terms of mutual re-
spect for truth and right in the
midst of the greatest of world con-
fiicts. 1t splendidly manifests the
spirit with which chastened earth
must one day approach the council
board. Itis victory OF peace whose
renown will increase as wars become
only an abhorrent memory.

BIBLES FOR SOLDIERS

nRESIDENT WILSON'S formal
endorsement of the movement
to put a Bible into the hands
of every American soldier is an ex-
preston of his belief in the value of
militant religion as a factor in the
development of high morale in the
troops we are sending to France.
The Bible always has played a large
part in the lives of our soldiers and
the conduct of our wars. 1t is the
mainstay of society in times of peace
and it should be the soldiers text
book in time of war. Popular sup
port will be forthcoming for the eff.
fort of the American Bible Society tc
raise 100000 with which to pur-
chase a khaki bound copy for every
man in the ranks. Persons accus-
toned to think of Christianity as q
milk and water affair will be inter-
ested in reports from the front. The
Y. M. C. A, which will be one of the
principal distributing agencies for
the testaments. reports that the
the trenches, and that the demand
far outdistances the present supply.
The trials and temptations of war
make a demand on the spiritual
stamina of men, and everywhere
there is a turning toward old values
and old virtues.
1t is perhaps the emphasis on sac
rifice, on the trivial values of life,
as compared with great principles,
which makes the Christian religion
so comforting and sustaining to the
man in the trenches. He that low
eth his life shall lose it," says the
Book; And he that hateth his life
in this world shall keep it to life
eternal" Confidence in immortality,
belief in a force stronger than our
selves, which makes for righteous
ness" purity. courage, and loyalty
these are the things which make
armies formidable. preserve morale,
win wars.
A recent number of the Literary
Digest reports Admiral Sir John
Jellico to have sent these words to
the British navy: BE strong and OF
good courage; be not afraid, neither
be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy
God will keep thee whithersoever
thou goest. Honor all men. Low,
the brotherhood. Fear God. Hon.
or the king"
Commander in Chief Pershine
clearly recognizes the significance OF
religion as a force for the preser-
vation of morale among the troops
'Hardships will be your lot" he
writes to an American soldier. but
trust in God will give you comfort
Temptations will befall you. but
faith in our Saviour will give you
strength"
Men facing danger and death
feel no fiippancy about religion. In
stead, there is everywhere a cropping
toward light, a demand for further
understanding of life's paradoxes
and sacrifices. II the church car

OUTLOOK FOR WINTER

In an address to the press corre-
spondents, Herr Won Waldow, the
Secretary of the State for the War
the prospects for the winter as sum-
married. in the Hamburgischer Cor
respondent and the Munchner
Neueste Nachrichten.
The conditions of corn and other
fodder were, he admitted, rather
difficult. The harvest would fall be-
low that of 1915, and it would re-
quire consideration to do justice to
the competing requirements of the
army, 8 agriculture, of industry, and
of town traffic. In the first line
army and the maintenance of agri-
cultural production. A sufficient
supply of fodder for agricultural
draft horses must be secured. 1t
seemed probable that when this re-
quirement had been fulfilled there
would not be fodder sufficient for
fattening swine and for sustaining
horned cattle in their present num-
bers. Should that prove to be tho
case measures must be taken in time :
that is, before the beginning of the
winter, to bring about a systematic
reduction of the number of swine
and horned cattle. This would, of
course, have an effect upon the meat
supply as well as upon that of milk
and fat. In the case of milk there
would be temporary increase of the
ration followed by a subsequent de-
crease.
The preservation of the supplies
of milk and butter during the win
ter would be difficult. 1t would be
necessary to extend the system OF
collecting places to receive tho dairy
produce in the districts where milk
was produced. With this problem
the imperial fat office was incessant-
ly graphing.

the question of site for the
proposed new high school ought to
be settled. There seems to be a very
general sentiment in favor of locat-
ing this important educational insti-
tuition on the Capitol Park plaza and
most of the arguments advanced in
behalf of other sites have disap-
peared in face of the logic of the
Capitol Park frontage.
1t is unfortunately true, perhaps.
that many citizens cannot visualize
the park area as it will be under
the comprehensive and artistic plans
practically adopted by the State
authorities. They seem to see the
park extension district as it is today
and fail to realize what it will be in
the years to come. There should be
no reasonable objection to placing
the building where it will have such
an attractive setting. Quite a num-

Any mistake in the placing of this
important structure will only en-
phasize the criticism which has fol-
lowed the more or less mixed build
ing program of the year. We be-
lieve that there were honest diff.
ferences of opinion from the start
and it would seem now to be a good
thing to reconcile these differences
and start afresh, with a view only tc
providing the best buildings and the
best educational system that can be
had for Harrisburg.
Our boys and girls merit everv-
thing that is good in the way of edu-
cation and the quality of the city's
future citizenry will depend in large
measure upon the intelligent treat
ment of the questions which are now
uppermost in the local school dis

NO SURPRISE IN 1T

Union labor is loyal!
The great convention of unionists
at Buffalo voted, almost solidly, for
Endorsement of the war.
But there is nothing remarkable
about it, If you concede unionists TO
be the possessors of ordinary COM
mon sense.
Unless German autocracy is put
down, to stay down, there will be
no unionism worth while in this
country, or any other labor rights
to speak of.
No intelligent workman is fool
enough to believe that, master of the
world, German autocracy would per-
init millions of workmen. to organ
ize for any purpose likely to get
them anywhere. ,
Popular organization, the getting
of the people together to think and
act by. for and of themselves is, al
ways has been and always will be
fatal to autocracy. Our best men

DESERVES HELP

To The Editor of the Telegraph:
I note that Pat Nielsen, head of
the Salvation Army here. is asking
for Christmas dinner donations. He
should have them. He is doing a
good work. Thursday, while most of
us were eating our Thanksgiving
dinners, Pat was preparing one for
the poor folks of the city, to which
many sat down. But that was not
enough for this hard worker. Re-
ceiving word in the morning that the
Russ Fish Market had left over three
barrels of fish that the firm wished
to give to the poor for Thanksgiving
use, Nielsen hauled these three
barrels, by hand, into the poorer
quarters of the city and distributed
them where they were most needed.
Tha ought to be proof sufficient that
his Christmas dinner fund is worthy.
