FEDERAL CoNsTABULARY
VTY HILE the proposition for
wv Federal constabulary t

VTT HILE the proposition for a
wv Federal constabulary to
guard the railroad yards,
bridges, power and water plants and
other utilities vital to the nation is
unique, it may be the cause of an
awkward situation. Under present
conditions municipalities and cor
porations may be more or less hard
put to pay adequate forces of men
to guard establishments of such
great importance, if they could get
them. 1t would not be fair to ask
counties to pay for this needful pa
troll duty.
The men of fighting age are need
ed abroad or in such posts where
they can be reserves, either for the
firing line or to support local au-
thority in case of outbreaks. The
State Police of Pennsylvania have
been kept at too small a number to
be of the service really needed in a
Commonwealth of such vast interests
and extent as Pennsylvania. The Re-
serve MlllIlu Ctn DS IdilSu OuI OlllS
when there is disturbance and the
Home Guard organizations have
been formed and maintained, almost
exclusively without any public sup
port, to uphold the hands of their
home authorities.
There are many men who are be-
yond the age desired for the over
seas forces or the reserves of tho
army, who would be glad to under
take the work of guarding bridges
etc. They could give a good ac-
count of themselves and would re-
lieve an ever present source of ap-
prehension. Created simply for the
period of the war, a Federal con-
stabulary engaged in protection OF
interstate commerce facilities, nota-
bly, those handling munitions, local
utilities supplying camps or canton
ments or ready to suppress alien out
breaks. would seem to fit into al
least plans worth discussion.

THE BRITISH SUCCESS

TIME whole world is ringing to-
day with the triumph of the
British in France. We like to
think that we are a staid and un-
demonstrative people, butwe are very
mercurial indeed. One day we are
in the dumps and the next on the
heights. So much is at stake in this
war that we are justified, perhaps,
in taking every move to heart, weep
ing over our misfortunes and taking
strength and courage from our sue
cesses. Yesterday, at bound, we
ascended from the slough of despond
to the mountain peak of confidence
and JOY. Perhaps we are to go
through other periods of depression
before the day of final and complete
victory, but through it all we should
not lose sight of the truth that the
die is cast for German defeat just as
surely as though the Prussian hosts
were in wild retreat and the Kaiser
n fugitive. All this is an old thought,
but 1t is worth repeating.
The British success of yesterday is
of the first magnitude, from what
ever angle it may be viewed. The
attack without artillery prepara-
ton, the use of tanks instead of can
non to batter down barbed wire en-
anglements, the inability of the Ger
mans to stand, man to man, against
the British; the wide sweep of coun-
try swept over in a single day, the
continuation of the war along the
. French front into the winter season,
the relief of the German pressure
upon the Italian front and preven-
ton of activities IN Solonica-all
these are factors of tremendous i'm
portance in the present and future
of war operations. The ability of the
English infantry to repeat its per-
formance of yesterday is beyond
question, since the next two or three
days should see it on ground much
more favorable to such tactics than
that over which it has just passed
Open warfare gives promise of be-
coming increasingly frequent on the
western front, and in that style OF
fighting the advantage lies all with
the allies.
Lloyd Georges cry for a million
Americans in France was we'll timed
coming as it did on the very day
their need was made most apparent
The effect on America of Haig':
drive yesterday should be to haster
our preparations and ginger up wal
work along all lines. The end o
the war appears immeasurably near
er as a result of yesterdays grea
allied victory, and it is more eviden
than ever that mighty army o
Americans in France will be able t
deal the death blow to Prussianisn
and bring the world back to al
enduring peace.

PRAISES MEN

In a leadings editorial recently, IT
which the editor of the Augusta
Chronicle welcomed Governor Brum-
baugh, some kind words were writ
ten about the men at Camp Han
cock. They should cause every man
with any sense of pride to feel a
deeper sense of responsibility in
measuring up to the high standard
already set. Following are extracts
from the editorial:
THE Chronicle can speak without
hesitancy for the whole of Augusta
on these points-they are the toast
OF the town. Never in anyone's eX-
perience have so large a body of men
from any walk of life, been known to
so well measure-up to all the best
standards of citizenship; nor has Au-
gusta ever come in contact with so
large body of men who are their
equals in soldierly bearing and con-
duct.
Confidently, Governor Brum-
baugh, we have made home folks of
them, from the highest officer to the
newest private, and we have done
this, not solely out of consideration
Tor them as visitors, but because they
won. our admiration and friendship
ana because we want to know such
men better and have them in our
homes. Pennsylvania has every right
to be proud of such body of men,
and Augusta considers herself excep-
tionally fortunate in having the
Pennsylvania division encamped
here.
And, also, this, Governor-you
are going to see the best military
camp to-day that you ever saw in
your life. There's no brag about that;
Just a plain self-evident fact. Your
boys are down here enjoying a cli-
mate that we, ordinarily, during the
winter months, charge anywhere
from ten TO twenty dollars a day for,
room and board included; and all the
money of Pennsylvania, or of the ma
tional government couldn't buy a bet
ter winter climate anywhere"

LAUDER-COMEDIAN

1t was growing late in the dis
creetly glittering corridors of Phila-
delphia's magnificent Hotel POM
posia, and the attendant magnates
behind its great bronze counters
were yawning YEARLY. Tired, busi-
ness men, exhausted by the vigors
of siX-hour-and-f working
day. collapsed into huge leathern
chairs for just one final 50-cent ciga,.
before terminating the evening s
misery. In the intervals Of their
conversation one caught faint echoes
of dance music from various ball
rooms beneath that cosmic roof
Across this stuffed and gilded scene
moved "a the hard-bitten, thrifty,
bandy-legged little Scotch comedian
in his trade marked costume-kilts,
bonnet, wriggly stick and all. swag-
gering to his we'll earned rest. The
songs he sang that night were
hummed by athletes in college show
er baths, by lonely telegraphers
waiting for the midnight express to
thunder past them up the Rockies,
by fishermen holding their course
out from Gloucester.
One saw it all in that inimitable
gait-pride in his power of success
and with it just the slightest dash OF
contempt for those whom that sue
cess impressed. EoOHlt GdBGI yOullE
person in uniform slammed an ele-
vator door on all this greatness, ant
the incident was over. The Y. M
C. A. auditorium at Camp Dix isn't
in the least like the Hotel Pompo-
sia, but the songs were the same or
night six years, later. Four thous-
and boys in uniform thought the
comedian unchanged, and laughed
and sang with him as of old. What
could they know of that bitter hill
side in Flanders where his only soT
had died at the head of his men
burying his fathers hope and pride
There was no hint of that in the
songs. The singer closed by tell
ing dryly and briefly of this wal
and the soldiers share In 1t. HC
turned to swagger off in the ole
way, hesitated, stopped dead, anC
his hand snapped up to his fore
head: Soldiers of America, I salute
YOU" he cried. A queer hush fol
| lowed, then thunders of applause
without knowledge the boys ye
knew that that salute was not from
the comedian. b 1t from the captain

The War: WhatAgainst, What For
By WILLIAM ENGLISH WALLING

WYE are Fighting for America
wv and against Germany. But
even military autocracy does
not dare to defend massacres on the
mere ground of national egotlsm.
The German ruling class organized
its vast propaganda solely to con-
vince the world, including the Ger
mans, that it is fighting for principle.
And the considerable development
of that propaganda is chiefly due TO
it's positive elements. The Germans
tell us they are fighting to spread
"kultur," scientific efficiency and Or
ganization, state socialism.
We are fighting against the effort
of autocracy to spread at the eX-
pense of democracy. We are fighting
to prevent militarism from commit
ting successful aggression. we are
fighting against war, against the re-
turn of barbarism. What are we
fighting for?
Why rest with the statement that
we are fighting against war and
preparations for war? is 1t not IN
finiteIy more inspiring that we are
lighting for that ceaseless improve
ment of the relations between the
nations which can not fail to leaC
toward the federation of the world
. Why say we are fighting merely tC
defend democracy? Are we no
fighting to spread it? We can no
spread it by means of the machine
| gun. We do not issue an ultimatun
to the German people; You must ac
cept democracy. But we do see
and say-that as long as autocrac!
| continues to exist we shall be oo
! liged to wage some kind of warfare
| against 1t.
But the German people may adop
some deceptive compromise that
| neither autocracy nor democracy
This we intend to prevent, but w
| can prevent it only by demonstrat
/ ing to the Germans and to all TN
world that democracy is superior II
war, in diplomacy, in industrial teen
niuue and organization, in the hand
! ling of racial and other minorlties
that we lead in educating ourselVe
as to the issues of war, in the Tor
mutation of just terms of peace, an
in willingness to sacrifice the smalle
| for the larger good.
! We are fighting to demonstrat
the superiority of democracy. Blu
what democracy has given us chieh
so far has been individual opportu
nifty. In the lack of national or
ganization this opportunity has bee,
little utilized for the national wei
fare.
we are fighting to develop a su
periority where Germany has throw

authorities are taking to the con-
ference statements of the food In
storage and in cars. The Public
Safety Committee has the result of
it's Investigations throughout the
State to present. The Federal au-
thorities have probably more infor-

Out of this meeting should come
some agreement whereby the powers
of the State can beexercised to break
any effort to hold UP prices or dimin-
ish supply, either through payment
of car demurrage or holding in
storage. Some of the reports heard
are disquieting and a statement of
policy should be forthcoming so that
the consumer would have his fears
relieved and the food pirates know
what to expect.
