u. S. CAN RAISE
100000 MEN
FOR WAR, HESAYS
Men at Home, Speaker Tells
Big Patriotic Rally, Must
Help With Money

Harrisburg's great patriotic iubi-
lee week, which will wind up on Sat
urday night with the appearance
of Madame Schumann-Heink was
launched last evening at Chestnut
street hall before an immense audi
eRce who heard speakers of national
repute discuss the vital questions
now being settled and the ones that
must be met when Germany is beat
en-. Perhaps the keynote recognized
by the bulk of listeners was touched
by Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale Uni
Versity. when he said that 'perma-
nent peace can only come through
fighting this war to a finish" The de-
sire in every mind evidently was that
every sacrifice must be made now to
suppress Germany but after that to
so reconstruct that war will here
after be almost impossible.
The big auditorium was crowded
with a patriotic throng that cheered
the speakers.
The substantial objective, there
fore, should be a league of nations
and not only Professor Fisher, but
the other speakers, Bishop Nc
Dowell, of Washington; w. A. Law,
president of the First National bank,
of Philadelphia, and Lieutenant
Henry Darlington, all emphasized
that The present war has challeng-
ed the moral ingenuity of civilized
society. While the world was at
peace it was easy TO feel that duty
had been done and responsibility dis
charged when, in pulpit, university
and market place, occasional voices
had been lifted against war. 4 long
period of peace had lulled the world
into a false sense of security. Then
rnif oil fAs1N
who understood something of the i'm
pending peril were doing what they
could to educate public opinion
against war, but leaders in church
and state did not feel any urgent and
driving necessity for devising the

Dowell. later on. called for everybody
who would buy bonds to stand up not
one person remained sitting. The
number of Harrisburg boys in serv-
ice could be estimated, too. by the
number who responded when the
bishop asked those to rise who. had
relatives fighting for Uncle Sam.
God Not With Murderers
Both Bishop Mcdowell and Pro-
fessor Fisher excoriated the Kaiser
and his people for their atrocities;
numerically flayed the Kaiser for
his blasphemy. THE God of our Lord
Jesus Christ is not on the side of the
Kaiser" declaimed the bishop We
hemently. IF this be the side God
is on, then the hope of the world is
gone; but it is the truth that God is
not on the side of the murderer OF
Edith CaVell, or the women and chill
dren of the Lusitania."
Prof. Fisher in closing his remarks
demanded the immediate abolition of
liquor, and stigmatized the National
Brewers Association.
The community singing during the
meeting was led by Mrs. J. G. San
ders. David L. Tracy presided and
DR.. Lewis Seymour Nudge, of the
Pine Street Presbyterian Church, of
fered prayer.

Liberty Editorial
BY DONALD MCCORMICK
President. the Dauphin Deposit
Trust Company
DETERMINED TO WIN

WISH 1 could convince the men
and women of Harrisburg that
these Liberty Loans present an
unequaled opportunity to start on
the road to systematic saving.
If those of us who have not ac-
quired the saving habit will begin
now by acquiring a Liberty Bond
we will find a great satisfaction in
knowing that we have become in
vestors in a moderate degree; and
we will be melted to continue to
save.
Many successful men tell us that
the first hundred dollars was the
hardest to save.
A youth who starts to save a dollar
a week will when it has become $40
be anxious to see it grow to be 500;
and his ambition in this regard will
prompt him to save 50 or SO a week,
instead of the original one dollar
he put away.
The man who becomes the owner
of bond is loath to part with it;
he desires others like it-and his am :
bition is TO have two or more Lib
erty Bonds in the place where onIy
one was before.
Men and women who bought Lib
erty Bonds in the first flotation-and
who thus made their first real in
vestment-will tell you if you ask
them that they feel real satisfac-
ton in ownership of those bonds:
and the same thing will be true of
you six months hence if you buy
bonds of the third issue.
Let the rich and poor work hand
in hand, each doing his best to save
his country by making an invest
ment in proportion to his means.
When we have done that the Third
Liberty Loan will have been so sue
cessful that it will teach the Ger
mans we are in deadly earnest about
this war-and are determined to
win.

The chief quarterma ster- general said
concerning the fighting which has
since broken out in Northern France:
The final fighting in the west. of
course. cannot be compared to the
fighting in Galicia or in Italy. The
enemy has a powerful reserve army
at hand. which he may move on his
splendidly laid-out railroad system
as he sees fit.
But, however heavy the lighting
may be. the battle must be fought
out. because, without it, peace is not

O. d. GRAY HOPES TO MAKE
$1,000 A DAY FOR STATE

With oil production fast becoming
one of the greatest resources of the
state and new gushers being discover
ed in many sections of Missouri, the
work of Omar d. Gray, state oil in
spector. has increased many fold.
The duty of the inspector is to see
that every refiner and dealer who sells
oil in the state pays an inspection tax
of u cents on the barrel. To check
up on this he has eight men: two in
st. Louis, one in Kansas City, one in
Independence and four that visit other
towns throughout the state.
These inspectors check in all ship
ments received by the dealers. This
was not done previous to Mr.. Gray's
term. and he finds that it brings in
much more revenue to the state.
Another improvement that he has
made in checking the amount of Oil
sold is by inspecting the self-measur-
ing gasoline tanks. He found by per-
sonal investigation that 26 per cent
of the tanks were giving short meas
ure, largely because of wornout ma
He found all the dealers
ready to have this remedied and has

THE NEW BOOKS
The Great Modern French Stories

The Great Modern French Stories.
No nation has produced so many
great short story writers as has
France-men who devoted their en-
tire efforts to perfecting the short
story Therefore, France is the moth
er of the short story. We have had
few great geniuses who have produced
some of the best stories, such as o.
Henry, and Edgar Allen Poe, but they
wrote after the model of the French.
THE Great Modern French Stories"
edited by Willard Huntington Wright,
is a chronological anthology of the
French short stories. There are
twenty-four short stories by such men
as Guy de Maupassant. Emile Zola.
Anatole France, AlphOnse Daudet,
HOnOre de Balzac, and others of like
rank. There is also an introduction by
the author, on the evolution of modern
French fiction. One gets from this book
the life of Paris and also the life of
France, which is very different from
that of Paris. This is book which
will give delightful entertainment to
anyone fond of the short story.

THE COMFORT OF THE BIBLE

A nation may have the books of its
Dante. or its Milton, or its Homer,
but the Bible is the book for all peO-
ples, for the whole world. 1t is book
of great human experience, and there
is something in it for everyone.
There is comfort within its pages
for the man who has suffered a great
bereavement No book can comfort
as does this in such a time, for there
is always held out to him promises
that he knows will be fulfilled.
In times of silent struggle between
right and wrong, one can find advice
here 1t is a book for lovers. In it
may be found the wonderful poetry
of love
In the present war the Bible is the
greatest comfort to the soldier in his
dark and lonely hours in the trenches
or in the fierce struggle on the firing
line. If he has read the Bible very
much. its messags of comfort crop up
in his darkest moments and give him
strength to go on.
Not only is this the book for all
individuals, but it is indispensable for
preachers and teachers; for ages il
has been the inspiration for artists,
and for great writers. One is indeed
poor who does not know something
about the Bible
