Japan has been at war with Germany
almost from the beginning separately
and without having sent a man to fight
the battles of the allies in Europe. 1t
is a pretty safe conclusion, however.
that this country will do whatever will
be most pleasing to the allies in re-
gard to armed operations abroad.
The United States is facing most
serious task, but one upon which
Americans in general embark with a
feeling of utmost confidence and the
assurance of ultimate success. no mat
ter what the immediate future may
bring forth. We have been forced to
draw the sword in defense of our hon.
or, our property and our very lives.
When we sheath it again the most in
famous royal cutthroat since the days
of Nero will have been placed beyond
the possibility of further harm. That
much is certain.

A FRANK CONFESSION

TTPON taking possession of the
u postmastership in the city of
New York, EX-Congressman
Patten announced that he was greatly
impressed with the idea that the postal
service might be conducted more free
ly and in a more liberal fashion, but
added: II don't know just how it will
work OUT
In those few words Mr.. Patten has
sufficiently condemned his own ap-
pointment. He was without any expert
ence whatever in postal matters. Presi-
dent Wilson displaced man who had
been thirty years in the postal service
and whose work had been entirely
satisfactory to the business men of
New York. Patterns only claim to the
appointment was that he was Demo-
crat and loyal TO Tammany Hall. The
first statement he made in connection
with his official duties carries with it
the admission of the self-evident truth
that he did not know how his ideas
would work out. 1t will cost the people
of New York and of the nation inn
mense sums of money and great in
convenience to learn by experience
hsw Mr.. Patterns ideas will work out

MILLIONS FOR THE STATE

MILLIONS of dollars will accrue
Nl to the State if the higher
courts sustain the opinion of
Judge Kunkel rendered Saturday in
the "escheat' law proceedings brought
before him by number of banking
institutions of the State. The opinion
very properly leaves some of the
questions Fat issue open for further
construction when the State shall at
tempt to put the statute into opera
ton, but the whole text of Judge Kun
kels we'll written conclusions leave
little doubt as to his views relative to
the consttutionality of the measure.
In view of the fact that almost in
variably the Supreme Court has up
held the Dauphin county judge in his
contentious, the State should lose no
time in getting a final ruling on this
important statute. The money to be
derived if the law is held valid is bad
ly needed and this should be an incen-
tive to early action.

The Neutral

Brethren, how shall it fare with me
When the war is laid aside,
If it be proven that l am he
For whom a world has died?
If it be proven that all my good,
And the greater good 1 will make,
Were purchased me by multitude
Who. suffered for my sake?
That I was delivered by mere man
kind
Vowed to one sacrifice,
And not, as l hold them, battle-b blind
But dying with opened eyes?
That they did not ask me to draw the
sword
When they stood to endure their lot
That they only looked to me for q
word,
And ] answered I knew them not?
If it be found, when the battle clears
Their death has set me free,
Then how shall l live with myself
through the years
Which they have bought for me?
Brethren, how must it fare with me
Or how am l justified,
If it be proven that / am he
For whom mankind has died;
If it be proven that l am he
Who being questioned denied.

HIGHWAY WORK

RIOW that the interest and attention
IN of all the people are absorbed
in the preparation for national
defense it is reasonable to expect that
there will be little serious thought
given to the factional activities in the
Legislature. Three months of the ses-
sion have passed without much hav-
ing been accomplished in the way of
legislation. Perhaps this is not a Sc
rious matter so far as the welfare of
the Commonwealth is concerned, in
view of the fact that there has been
a multiplicity of statutes and a re-
dundancy of legislation of every sort
in recent years.
Beginning this week the Legislature
will doubtless give its earnest atten-
ton to those things which require
careful consideration. There appears
to be no doubt that ample provision
will be made for the construction of
highways and development of a COM
prehensive road system in Pennsylva-
face of hostilities and the demand for
quick transportation facilities, not only
of the steam and water sort, but also
of intercommunicating highways ma
king accessible all parts of the State
1t is interesting to observe that the
William Penn Highway Association is
urging upon those in authority the
completion of that splendid road from
one end of the State to the other and
Governor Brumbaugh is known to
have a lively interest in this PROPOSE
ton.
Highway Commissioner Black is a
man of foresight and of great good
sense. With Chief Engineer Uhler
and those associated with him there
can be no reasonable doubt of such
preparedness in tho big department
as will make available at once all the
resources of the Commonwealth in the
building of better highways with the
granting OF an adequate appropriation.

Movies at the Almshouse
Tie Editor Of TIC Telegraph:

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
In reading the editorial in your pa
per last night-Movies at the Aims
house, note that you give all credit
to the present board of Poor Directors
which is all right as far as it goes. But
It don't go in the right direction. Be-
leVlng in giving credit where credit
is due and rightfully belongs, l am
writing you facts as 1 know them in
the movies at the almshouse. When
John Early, the present steward, re-
ceived his first appointment as stew
ard / was present the day that Max
well Hite suggested to Mr. Early that
movies be given the inmates free of
any charges to the county. Mr.. Early
took the matter up with the Poor Di-
rectors then in office, secured the per-
mission asked for and then Maxwell
Hite gave the first movies ever given
in the almshouse, and during the re-
naming term of Mr.. Early, Hite gave
a number of free exhibitions, These
movies were discontinued with the end
OF Mr. Early's first term of steward
ship. Upon Early being reappointed
Maxwell Hite again volunteered to
give entertainments to the unfortunate
inmates of the County Home, he ma
KING all arrangements with the film
dealers for the free use of the pictures
and he furnishing the picture machine
and working the same without any
cost to the taxpayers or county Of
hcials. My reason for writing this let
ter to you is to place you right so
that you will publish the facts in the
case in order that those who are
truly entitled to the work be given due
and proper credit. The writer feels
that Mr.. Hite is doing a very good
work for the unfortunate inmates at
the county home and not only there.
but he has in the past been ever ready
to aid any charitable movement by
furnishing the complete outfit without
cost in many cases, and / think that
the credit for movies at the almshouse
and other institutions should be given
chiefly to Maxwell Hite, the man that
does the work on purely charitable
basis, and to Mr.. Early, who aids in Sc
curing the permission from the board
of directors With hope of your pub
fishing this, am respectfully,
,fE+b A TAXPAYER.

"Give a Helping Hand"

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
/ am not big man and can't go to
war, but l have written a little poem
telling how willing l am to lend a
hand. Will you print it? 1t is as fol-
lows:
Our country is full of pride and won
der, BE.
Let no other nation rend asunder.
Liberty and Independence, is our
stand,
Let's give little helping hand.
The other nations do contrive.
Our liberty to deprive.
On the very soil we stand,
Let's give little helping hand.
our forefathers strove to succeed,
Who fought and bled in time of need
why should we lose this command
Let's give little helping hand.
This country needs you men,
Each and all, ten by ten.
Show you're of very good brand.
So give little helping hand.

PATRIOTISM

TINE boys" of Post 5S, Grand
Army of the Republic, have vol
unteered" in a body. They hold
no delusions as to the part they would
have to play if called upon. They know
they are too old for first line defense.
They realize that they have held their
last trench in the face of an enemy's
charge, they know they carried their
last fortitication at the point of the
bayonet, 10, these fifty years agone.
But they know also that their coun-
try needs them," now, and that is
enough. They have offered their serv-
ices to Governor Brumbaugh to serve
in whatsoever way we can be of use,'
and the Governor has,accepted in that
spirit.
This is patriotism.
How many of us younger men have
done as much?

The Patriot
[John Albion Andrew.1

Whether right or wrong in its do
mestic or its foreign policy. judged
by whatever standard, whether of ex-
pediency or of principle, the American
citizen can recognize no social duty
intervening between himself and his
country. Entrusted With the precious
inheritance of Liberty, endowed with
the gift of participation in a Popular
Government, the Constitution makes
him at once the beneficiary and the
defender OF interests and institutions
he cannot innocently sendanger; and
when he becomes traitor to his
country, he commits equal treason
against mankind.

What England Learns
(Kansas City Star.)

AANuHStio Nsllg pldI.J
England is preparing to call vet
another army to the colors. This is
the country that went into the war
with the volunteer system and with
the sign "As Usual hung in its shop
windows. 1t has learned now, what all
countries that go to war in these days
must learn, that war is business that
will have no rivals, that 1t must be
waged with undivided attention. with
the united abilities of all parties and
with every resource of men, money,
industry and invention that it is for
tunate enough 10 possess.
Modern war, as other countries than
England are finding out, makes for
democracy. 1t Is bound to, IL is not
a game that can be played any more
by any one class. 1t calls for equal
participation from all classes. All
men. all wealth, all forms of property
are under conscription for the preser-
walton of all. When the volunteer sys-
tenn broke down the sign GAS Usual"
disappeared from the shop doors. 1t is
now hung on the national door and
means, not private business as usual,
but the empires business and that
business Is war. II is the only way
to make war successfully.
