A GOOD EXAMPLE

FRANCE has set America another
n good example by Furnishing with
death NJ. Duval, editor of the
Bonnet Rouge, French newspaper
that sold itself to Germany. Re-
Gently much has been published of
pro- German newspapers in the
United States. One arrest has been
made and there is talk of others.
The newspaper editor who trades
with the enemies of his country is
worse than a Benedict Arnold. The
soldier traitor must necessarily op-
crate in limited way, but the care
fully camouflaged treachery of a
faithless Journalist in control of an
influential publication is capable of
irreparable damage to the morale
Of the people. Such an editor Is a
Judas Iscariot and the moose is too
good for him. If we have any of
that type in the United States we
should give them a dose of the
medicine France has prescribed for
its Bolos and Duvals.

ON FLANDERS FIELDS

THE failure of the Austrian drive
in Venetia, or, more properly
speaking, the success of the
Italian resistance and counterattack,
have given rise once more to the
hope that Triest may be taken and
the road to Berlin opened from the
east and via Vienna.
This is an old dream. Napoleon
once had it; probably every advo-
cate of the restoration of Italia IRE
denta has thought to push his le-
gions beyond the Trentino and to
take deserved revenge upon the Aus
trian and the German.
But we doubt If it will come to
pass. even now. Flanders has been
too often the theater of war to be
pushed out of the limelight now.

| Though the Germans devised a
shrapnel she'll which broke only
when near the ground and made it
extremely dangerous for any one
to be in the vicinity, the journals
from the skies were eagerly searched
for and passed from hand to hand.
And it was not long before un-
censored papers, printed in Belgium
itself, began to appear. OF all the
clandestine journals the most vigor-
Gus and defiant was La Libre Bel
gique.
No one knows where it is printed
Its habitat is Enthusiastically referred
to as 'une cave automobile" which
might perhaps be translated as a
migratory cellar or cellar on wheels,
and it's telegraph address is THE
Governorship, Brussels" The price
is indefinite, varying from zero to
inf1nity," Sand there is no regular
time of issue, but an average of
three or four editions a month has
been maintained.
Not even the carriers know where
the paper is published. If, there
fore, the police captures a carrier
with these verboten papers in his
hands, they may visit the direst pen
alties upon him, but the printing and
distribution of the paper goes on just
the same.
The German authorities, in their
rage at the defiance of this plucky
little newspaper operating under
their very noses, have made the most
savage and elaborate efforts to hunt
down the offenders. To handle the
paper or even to have it in posses
sion is made a serious offense, and
a huge reward-originally $4,000
francs but later raised to $4,000
has been offered for information
leading to the apprehension of the
editors and proprietors.
The tone of the paper is delight
full. It always keeps it's security of
temper, and it's spirit is irrepressible.
The Belgians enjoy it, and all the
copies are carefully treasured. The
usual circulation is about 10000,
but the paper proved so popular that
the first five numbers were reprint
ed three or four times after their
original publication.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of La Libre Belgique is it's
monthly air supplement, giving in
Flemish and French the news of the
war. 1t is published abroad and
scattered in Belgium by aviators.

MEN WHO WOULD SERVE

y every community there are
young men of service age who
have been rejected for physical
disability and these are frequently
misunderstood in their several COM
munities. inasmuch as no provision
has been made for the wearing of
any insignia which would indicate
that they are wiling to serve, but
have not been lac .epted by the gov
ernmenf
Harrisburg is not an exception in
this matter. some of our well-known
young men having been refused op-
porunity to enlist in one branch of
the service or another. It has been
suggested from time to time that
some sort of badge should be given
to men of this class that they may
not be regarded as slackers when
they are willing and anxious to
serve. This would also differentiate
men of this type from those who
are doing their level best in one way
OF another to avoid serving their
country in the fighting forces.
The young man who makes a real
effort to enlist, as many have done
repeatedly. and is told that he does
not meet the requirements. should
havd some way of demonstrating to
everybody that he is not Indifferent
TO bR duty. Under the circumstances.

MOTHERS IN WAR TINE

A beautiful preface by Maurice
Maeterlinck to a series of powerful
French war pictures by S. Levy
Dhurmer, contains the following:
Their sons are taken from them
at life's fairest moment, when their
own lives are on the decline. And
yet, our mothers do not weep as
have the mothers of other wars.
We know not what sustains them
and gives them the strength to bear
the remainder of their life. Some
among them have other children,
ard we can understand how they
lavish upon them the love and the
future which death has cut short.
Many have never lost, or else they
try to recover their faith in the
eternal promises. But so many
others, whose dwelling is forever
desolate, seem to entertain the same
hope as those in whom hope has al
ways been alive.-In The Red Cross
Magazine for August.

BLOOD MONEY

nHE Washington report that
President Wilson means to take
a stand against wartime pro-
hibition because of the loss in taxes
involved is unbelievable.
Surely the President does not deem
it necessary to traffic in the bodies
and souls of countless men and
women to find money with which to
win the war This is a conflict of
right against wrong. of humanity
against inhumanity. and liquor is as
debasing to the individual as Prus-
sian Kultur is to a nation.
But If the moral issue does not
appeal to the leaders of the admin
istration, surely the economic side of
the question should, especially among
officials who breakfast, dine, sup
and sleep on war economies" To
be sure, we may be taxed in some
other way to take the place of what
has been collected from the drinking
element, but having spent nothing
for booze we shall have all the more
money for taxes. Besides, there is
the matter of fuel. food and trans
portation involved in the making
and sale of drinks, to say nothing of
the labor now so badly needed in
other lines of trade. which Mr.,
Hoover says must be diverted to
legitimate uses If disaster is to be
averted. And of what use to save
taxes If we are to go cold and hungry
and coal into taxable beer?
The answer to the demand for
greater revenues lies in the tariff.
Republicans would have turned to it
long ago. Democrats will have to
come to it sooner or later. There are
signs that their leaders in
Congress recognize this.
1t is now proposed to increase the
sugar tariff for revenue" albeit
there will be a large measure of the
heretofore "damnable protection"
in the bill, and this time one item
will raise a huge sum for war pur-
purposes. The Democrats also are
trifiing with tea and coffee, which
always kept on the free
list because they did not compete |
with homemade products-and the
Democratic hand-picked tariff COM
has committed heresy by
urging a tariff bill higher in its levies
than provided by the much-abused
act. They will find
the country far reader to accept
such a means of raising war revenues
than by the collection of blood
from saloons.

A JUST VETO

[From the Kansas City Star.l
The farmers of Am erica, as The
Star has had previous occasion to
say in approving the announcement
that President Wilson would veto
the $40 price for wheat, are not
profiteers. AS he has pointed out in
his veto message, they have worked
in patriotic spirit to meet the food
requirements of this country and its
allies. The price fixed is generally
felt to be adequate. To increase it
would be to lay a heavy burden on
the consumer and on the Allied ma
tions. The President has acted
wisely and justly in disappearing
the advance.

SAFE FAIRGROUNDS

"HE police department should

the Park Department has begun
against disorder and vandalism on

men refuse to obey the rules and
regulations they must be punished.
These publ recreation places must
be kept safe at all times for the
girls and boys who use them. Some
of the boys arrested a day or two
ago are old enough to be at work.
But If they won't work at least they
must be forced to behave.

On War Savings Stamp Day" an
editorial in Mr.. Hearst's New York
Evening Journal" exhorted its read
ers as follows:
Buy your thrift stamps, show
them to the family. Point out
the picture of George Washing
ton in the middle of the stamp.
If the gifted author of those lines
had only stopped writing about
thrift stamps long enough to buy
one-or at least to borrow some
one else's-he would have found
that it might puzzle even the own
er of "The Journal" to discover a
portrait of George Washington in
the middle or anywhere else. 1t is
