The Kitchener Mistake
kansas City Star. |

When a commission investigated
the unsuccessful British Dardanelles
expedition it discovered that the fail
ure was chiefly due to the govern
ment's implicit confidence in Kitch-
ener. He planned the expedition and
everything connected with it. High
officials familiar with his plans be-
lieved he was laundering, but they
did not have the courage to say so.
His prestige was too great. So they
kept quiet, the expedition went to
smash and thousands of lives were
wasted.
Secretary Daniels at the head of
the Navy Department says every
thing possible is being done to COM
bat the submarine. Perhaps it is.
But so far as the public knows we
are doing very little. We shall be of
no material assistance to England
and France for at least a year, and
even then our help will be slight
at least so far as can be told from
the information available in Wash
ington.
We can't afford to run the chance
of making the same sort of mistake
England made when she trusted ev-
erything to Kitchener and he went
wrong.
There ought to be a supreme war
council to review the navy's plans
In default of that Congress ought to
find out what the situation really is.

Philippine Loyalty
ICleveland Plain Dealer.


1t is we'll that the United States
has no discontented subject people.
The alliance against Prussianism Is
an alliance in behalf of nations and
races that are held in thraldom. 1t
Is a war in behalf of Germany's Alsa-
tians and Poles, in behalf of Aus
trias Italians and Bohemians and
Serbs and Slovaks, in behalf of Tur-
keys Armenians and Lebanonites. 1t
is we'll that the one people which
has in the past protested against
American rule is now loyal and con-
tented.
OF the present loyalty of the Phil
ippines there can be no doubt. 1t is
the American custom to think of the
Philippines as represented by the
intelligent and educated classes of
LuZon. These men have been the
only intelligible protestors against
American rule. Now this element
is satisfied that the United States is
conscientiously working out the Phil
ippine problem and that Philippine
independence is assured. The other
Philippine peoples, the half-civilized
Mohammedans of Mindanao and
Sulu and the quite savage races of
some of the interior are not usually
considered when Philippine wishes
and aspirations are under discussion.
The loyalty demonstration in Ma
nila recently was a pleasing mark of
gratitude. 1t indicated the Filipino
appreciation of the American efforts
for Philippine betterment.

DON'T DELAY THEM

don't say no and don't tell him
to come back again."
These Liberty Loan statesmen are
volunteers in the government serv-
ice. They are very busy men, for
they are looking after their own
private affairs and doing this public
work as we'll. They must get over
the ground quickly.
So, when they call on you, be pre-
pared and sign up promptly for the
amount you desire to invest.
Remember you can pay this
money as little as one dollar a week
on the instalment plan and when it
is all paid you will have the amount
of your investment in securities as
good as gold-better than gold, in
deed, for gold is worth only face
value, while the bonds draw inter-
est.
Buying a Liberty Bond is not CIV
ing money to the government. 1t is
leaning money for which the gov
ernment pays you more than the
banks will in interest. and at the
same time provides a fund with
which to support our armies in the
field.
If you are beyond conscription age,

Canadian Publicity

The advertising campaigns con-
Quoted by the Canadian government
as aids to the successful prosecution
of the war were described to the AS
sociated Advertising Clubs of the
World by John NJ. Imrie, manager of
the Canadian Press Association.
Since the war began" he said,
the Canadian government has con-
Quoted seventeen distinct advertis-
ing campaigns. During the last
twelve months its expenditures on
display advertising have exceeded
the combined expenditures during
that period of any other four gen.
eral advertisers in Canada. Most of
the advertising done was in connec-
ton with Canada's war problems"
Mr.. lmrie related how the govern
ment had advertised in newspapers
throughout Canada the food value of
Canadian apples and thereby Gre
ated a market for the large crop of
1914; how through advertising a
fund of s13.OO0,00O for the relief of
families of soldiers had been raised,
and how, by similar means, women
had been obtained for the manufac-
ture of munitions.
Mr.. Imrie continued:
recognized that one of the most val
liable contributions Canada could
make to the prosecution of the war
would be in the form of food sup
plies. The problem was to impress
upon every farmer in Canada the
need of increased agricultural pro-
duction. The Canadian government
was quick to recognize that advertis-
ing is the most speedy and the most
effective means of reaching the peo-
pie. The campaign resulted in an in
crease of over 10 per cent. in the
area under cultivation, and, in con-
junction with good weather condi-
tions, in record yields per acre for al
most every class of field products.
Similar advertising campaigns
were conducted in 1916 and 1917
and there is now running in Canada
a special appeal to the farmer to
prepare now for even larger crops
in 191S."-EXchange

PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION

THE resolution for the appoint
! ment of a commission to study
conditions and recommend a
system of uniform bookkeeping, ac-
counting and regulation of indebt.
edness in third-class cities, presented
by Senator Beidlemen, is progress
sive legislation. 1t should be passed.
At present there is no means of
fairly comparing costs of govern
ment in the various cities operating
under the Clark act, because all of
them have different systems of ac-
counting, and some of them none too
perfect at that. Vast saving could
be effected if the exact cost of every
operation of government in each of
these municipalities could be formu-
lated and worth while economies eff
fected in many directions by bring
ing all of the accounting and record
systems of these cities up to date.

terminus at Speeceville to the Dau-
phin Narrows. A continuation of the
new highway south of the Clark's
Ferry bridge to Dauphin along the
river would eliminate a steep hill
and several railroad grade cross
ings.
AS the policy of the State is to en-
courage cooperation between coun-
ties and the Commonwealth in road
building our own county must not
lag behind in any particular. AS the
seat of government there is every
argument in favor of a perfect sys-
tenn of highways entering Harris
burg, but we regret to say that so
long as conditions such as exist in the
boroughs of Penbrook and Paxtang
and other suburban districts the rep
utation of the county is bound to
suffer.
Much can be done by the motor
associations and much has been done
already. More power to those en-
gagged in the good roads propaganda.

CHEER UP!
THEER UP!

THEER UP!
~ The skies are gloomy, to be
sure.
But behind the clouds the sun is
still shining.
Certainly, we appreciate the Sc
riousness of the war crisis. But
wearing a long face and forgetting
how to smile isn't going to help
matters.
Remember there was a Valley
Forge in the Revolution, don't you ?
Recall that the national capital was
once laid waste by an invading
army? Recollect gloomy days pre-
ceding Gettysburg?
Those were times for long faces,
perhaps, but not now.
Why. Washington at Valley Forge,
or the militia facing the British at
Baltimore, or Lincoln viewing with
alarm the desperate efforts of Lee
to lay waste Pennsylvania, would
have been happy to change situa-
tions with us of to-day. and would
have rejoiced in the opportunity.
Cheer up and begin to consider
how much worse things might be
and how much better they are going
to be.

FRICTION AT AN END

TN a public statement Governor
i Brumbaugh has indicated clear
ly the smoothing out of all fric-
tlon between the State Committee of
Public Safety and the Defense Board
of the Commonwealth comprising
several State officials. AS suggested
by George Wharton Pepper, chair
man of the Committee on Public
Safety, whatever differences there may
have been We're verbal rather than
actual. These having been forgotten
1t may be expected that the co-oper-
alton of the two bodies will result in
definite progress in the solution of
the problems that now confront the
State and the nation.
IT. must begin to dawn upon the
Tnds of all persons in public and
private life that the crisis through
which we are passing is too serious
to admit of trifling of any sort and
whatever cause of friction hereto
fore has existed will doubtless be
avoided in the future. Personal am
bitions and political maneuvering of
any sort should have no considera-
tion at this time. There will he
those, of course. who will fail to
realize the Importance of giving at
tention to vital and essential things.
but these are in a woeful minority
and their foolishness will only serve
to emphasize the quality of their
minds and the necessity for throwing
aside anything and everything which
May in the slightest degree impede
the work of preparation for the
great conflict in which we are now
engaged.
Governor Brumbaugh, in referring
t. che Committee of Public Safety,
EXPRESSED absolute confidence in its
ability to deal with the problems
which confront it and to dis
charge properly the grave duties
whicN have been assigned to it.
''Wo realize" he says. that we are
dealing with big men who are them
selves dealing with big problems,
problems that are of the most vital
importance to the State and the ma
ton. We know that we are doing
business with big men,"
With this clearance of the smoky
atmosphere of friction and misun-
derstandinE, the working together of
all the forces of the Commonwealth
to one end cannot longer be a mat
ter of doubt or discussion. 1t is a
good sign and a favorable indication
of an intelligent sensing of the pub
lie mind.

The New "Marseillais"
[From the Montreal Star.

The arrival of the Black sea dele
gates in Petrograd and their effect
in inspiring greater vigor and de-
termination throughout the city and
nation. irresistibly remind us of the
arrival in Paris OF BarbarouX's six
hundred Marseillais who knew how
to die" These men from the south
seem in both cases to bring with
them fire and fidelity. The Black sea
"Marseillais" have aroused Petro-

Russian revolution, to the front.
where they are sworn to march at
the head of their regiments against
the foe. Marching under solemn oath
to defend the principles of the
sacred revolution is in true harmon y
with the conduct of their great spiT-
itual forebears. 1t requires just some
such infusion of the spirit of devo-
ton and intense patriotism to stir
the we'll meaning masses of Russia
into an irresistible onslaught on the
forces of despotism which still
trample on their soil and hold sec
tons of their people in military SER
yitude.

The ruling class ir Germany

we expect to gain by war 1t knows
that it is rch-offender against civili-
cation and that as surely as we tri-

only restraint it recognizes, which is

amuck for the last time. 1t knows
that the peace to come will be a
just and democratic peace and not
the hateful thing of terror, humili-
alton and plunder going by the name
of a Prussian peace.
1t suits Kaiserism to maintain
that it is not at war with the United
States and that it is unable to un-
derstand our purposes. but no Amer
lean can echo that mockery without
q confession of guilt and shame.

The Boss" of the Senate

Only those who are familiar with
the working details of the State Sen,
ate can appreciate the wonderful
capacity of the secretary of that
body, w. Harry Baker, of Harris
burg, in his handling of endless de-
tails. Never ratified, apparently
never fatigued, and always ready to
give aid and comfort TO the troubled
members he goes right on from year
to year demonstrating the value of
efficient training for the public serv-
ice.
Mr.. Baker started some years ago
as a page in the Legislature and he
has been steadily advanced from one
responsible position to another until
he now is in effect the boss of the
Senate, but he is not an arbitrary
or unreasonable boss. Indeed, he
would scorn even the suggestion that
he occupied such a place in the
economy of the Senate procedure.
His friends marvel at his wonder
full ability to keep track of the great
mass of legislation which pours
through the hoppers. of the upper
branch of the Assembly. Nothing
seems to escape his attention and
when anybody wants to know any
thing he always asks Harry Baker.
His comprehensive grasp of parlia-
mentary law and practice make him
the court of last resort in all mat
ters affecting the conduct of the SEN
ate. AS boy and man he has alb
sorbed the very spirit of the parlia-
mentary system and it is doubtful
if any question could arise that he
could not Immediately solve. His
friends are legion and they are not
confined to parties or factions. All
recognize his fairness and many of
those who serve in the Senate Won

GREAT WORK.!

II occasion.
The overwhelmingly generous re-
sponse to the offer of Liberty Loan
| bonds in this city and the towns sur
rounding is no more than anybody
acquainted with the citizens of Cen
trail Pennsylvania expected.
Not only are our people patriotic
our businessmen are also systematic.
The community we'll understands the
value of organized effort and our
citizens are ready to serve in the
ranks of any such force as that
raised for the purpose of putting
over" the bond campaign in the
Central Pennsylvania field. Given
these conditions everywhere and the
Liberty Loan would be oversub-
scribed a hundred times.
Unfortunately this is not the fact.
In many places the people have not
been aroused to the necessity of sub
scribing to these bonds, they have
not so much money as we have, they
are not so thrifty, or they do not
have the community spirit. the gin
ger" or the true blue patriotism that
is to be found among the people of
the Central Pennsylvania field These
have fallen behind their allotment.
Therefore. while we of Harrisburg
and the allied towns have done we'll,
we must do still better. 1t is within
the bounds of possibility to make
this field the most productive ground
in the country for the sale of these
gilt-edge investments. Let us turn
in and do it. Let us show our mettle
to the whole country. Perhaps when
the great total is announced at the
conclusion of the campaign on Sat
urday and the news of what we have
done is flashed across the country by
the telegraph and the newspapers, it
may hearten other communities to
fresh and successful endeavors in
their own behalf. 1t is great work
we are doing; let's have more of it.
