policies. Canadian communities are
realizing that they must care for the
families of faithful citizens dying in
service and this fact is giving force
and effect to the appeal for blanket
insurance plans for the relief Of
those who may be left to struggle
along without the wage-earner and
natural protector.
Those men who are now bravely
undertaking the defense of their
country will so to the front with a
measure OF comfort when they know
that they or the community in
which they live have provided in
some manner for the care OF the
loved ones left behind.
A bulletin issued by one of the
larger insurance concerns of the
United States points out that the
American people are now getting a
striking demonstration OF the ply
sical unpreparedness of the average
young men. They are getting con-
crete and convincing evidence of the
urgent need of the physical educa-
ton and training which our young
men would receive under universal
military service plan. Reports from
all over the country indicate that
fifty per cent. of our volunteers are
rejected for health impairments and
physical defects. Prominent among
the latter is poor physique. 1t is
cY1 ~,
matter that every one of these
young men should have six months
to one year of intensive physical
education and training.
For years this newspaper urged
upon the school authorities of Har-
risburg the adoption of military drill
for the more advanced schools of
the city, especially the high schools.
AS a result of this propaganda the
school board somewhat haltingly au-
thorized the organization of a corps
of cadets for the Central High
School. Amilksop physical instructor,
with no interest in military train
ing whatever, was placed in charge
been expected under the circum-
stances was a lapse of the whole
plan through indifference and ne
glect.
subsequently,, the TELEGRAPH
again 4ok up the matter, but out
side the Central High School and the
parochial schools no interest what
ever was manifested and the data
upon military training in the schools
now reposes in a pigeon hole at the
school board offices. But public in
terest in the matter having been
aroused since the entrance of this
country into the war, it will not be
necessary hereafter to make any
campaign for military training. The
people will attend to that without
further argument.

THE DIFFERENCE

THE German conquerors of Bel
GUM have murdered the chill
dren, outraged the women and
driven thousands of men and boys
and girls into slavery. How this
German civilization" compares with
the so-called half-savagery of the
Russian Cossacks and peasantry is
shown by the following extract from
the account of a New York World
correspondent along the Eastern
front, just received:
Another thing that impressed
me during my visit to the front
was the food problem and the con-
tented state of the people in the
conquered territory of Bukowina
and Galicia. In the cafes of the
towns through which we passed we
were able to obtain white bread
and cake. both treats which il is
impossible to buy in Petrograd.
Ihe people are strikingly con-
tented and we'll fed. Many of the
Austrians are prisoners on their
own farms, having surrendered on
condition that they be permitted
TO remain and go on with tilling
the soil and harvesting the crops.
II there is any regret that they
are in Russian hands under a re- {.
public there is not the slightest
indication of il.
on the l50-mile drive which we
made one day we passed through
scores of villages where the peo-
pie were dancing on the green as
If there were TO war. The scenes
were altogether charming and
peaceful.
AS between the two pictures there
is but one choice. America has
taken her stand in the only place
left for her. There must be no more
Belgiums and no more militant au-
tocracies in the world.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
For Noiseless City
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

Am interested in reading your
articles for city improvement and
betterment. Harrisburg has first
class newspapers, splendid schools
and churches, fine paved streets,
beautiful parks and River Front, but
the damnable din of its fiat-wheeled
cars is a disgrace to civilization, and
when they strike a crossing it sounds
like the world coming to an end, but
the open "cutout" nuisance of auto
mobiles, motorcycles, ETC., and con-
stant sounding of horns is worse yet.
No other town in the United States
would tolerate it. Why not protest
against these things.

The Senate rule forbidding smok-

islature is a mystery to a good many
people. The House threw the anti
smoking rule out of the window the
first week of the session, but until
a week or so ago the rule was in
force in the upper house. The SER
geants-at-arms are under the i'm
preston that it is still working, al
though Senators smoke at will. When
any visitor comes in he is told not
to smoke, and when House members
appear they get the same treatment,
which they can not understand when
they see clouds lowering over Sena-
tors.
