sad over the sudden disappearance of

Tuesday evening and had taken great
interest in the revival meetings from
the beginning. He was secretary of
one of the local branches of the Labor
Union and was last seen or heard of
Wednesday morning, when he was
driven to 18th and Walnut to a job
where the President of his number
was at work. The driver of the ma
chine saw him walk into the building.

half white and half colored. .....Mr.

HOW THEY LOVE

How does a woman love? Once, nc
more,
Though life forever its loss de-
plore;
Deep in sorrow or deep in sin,
One king reigneth her heart
within;
One alone, by night and day
Moves her spirit to curse or pray.
One voice only can call her soul
Back from the grasp of Deaths
control;
Though love has beset her. or friends
deride-
Yea, when she smileth another's
bride,
Still for her Master her life makes
moan
once is forever, and once alone.
How does man love? Once for all,
The sweetest voices of life may
call,
Sorrow daunt him or Death dismay,
joys red roses bedeck his way;
Fortune smile, or Jest or frown,
The cruel thumb of the world turn
down.
Loss betray him or Love delight
Through storm or sunshine, by day
or night:
tofiing, asleep, awake,
r. Though souls may madden or weak
hearts break.
Better than wife, or child or pelf
Once and forever he loves-Him-
self.

by as many men. up in his dome all
at one time.
'Instinctively we think of the Jug
gler who entranced our boyish atten-
tlon by keeping up a gorgeous maze
of whirling balls with no perceptible
effort except fixed smile. Suddenly
he appears mingling with ambassa-
dors, the wise, the good, fair forms
and hoary seers; he turns aside in
the twinkling of an eye to mediate,
while contractors hang in midair and
prohteers wildly clutch their pocket
books in deafening silence.
Yes or no comes with a decisive
ring in his voice, and hundreds of
millions of dollars gush from the
treasury at his nod. Then the earth
temporarily resumes it's customary
revolutions. Five stenographers then
rush in. He dictates to nearly all of
them at once. Others linger in hail
ing distance as a reserve If some per-
chance should drop dead.
Immense bundles of documents of
state appear in which he immerses
himself, lost in a profound vacuum
of sublimated thought. The short
handlers flee madly from the incar-
mated human tempest, waving their
notebooks ominously. Now the land
scapes fades away in a haze of to-
bacco smoke. Gradually the scene
reveals a briar root pipe, with the
Secretary of War attached, curled up
in a deep, soft arm chair, reading
his theocritus and juvenal, or a biog-
raphy of Tom Johnson and three
cent car fares.
From this deep dream of peace
this overripe Boswell blazes the film
with Bakers trip to war-swept
France. We are permitted to gaze
upon the greatest Secretary of War
the world ever saw. Stanton strug-
giles daily into view merely as a basis
of comparison to enable outstagger-
ing mentality to gain last look of
Baker walking serene on the sum-
NIT of inaccessible grandeur before
we lapse into unconsciousness. The
peerless strategic and warrior fin
ishes the moving theater by remain
ing for hours in trenches and dug
outs in mortal peril from bursting
shell and scattering shrapnel. Here
the dazed audience disperses."

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION

The public in the Allied countries
is beginning to inquire at whose
door this paralysis of Entente diplo-
macy lies. If it should be at
Americas, the fact. in the event of
an undue prolongation of the war,
will detract seriously from the merit
of her splendid cooperation with
men and material. If Japan alone
hesitates, some of her own people
will be the first to charge her with
half-hearted adoption of the Allied
cause that stopped short of any
real sacrifice. The case for Allied
action in Russia is overwhelming.
Naturally it must not be blundering
intervention, which would achieve
nothing for without good will of the
Siberian population it will be impos-
sible for the Japanese army to
approach Europe within a given
time. There can be little doubt that
Colonel Semenoff would have well
coined support at any moment during
the last four months, and any con-
spicuous success on his part in
Eastern Siberia might we'll galvan-
iZe true Russian opinion into action
against the German and Bolshevism
from one end of Russia to another.

AS TO THE HOME FIRES

HERE are many persons in
every community singing Wig
orously the popular war ballad
Keep the Home Fires Burning"
who are not putting much fuel on
the flame in the way of personal ef-
fort or contribution of funds to the
things which are necessary to main
tain those things which are essential
to the happiness and prosperity OF
the home life.
1t is quite necessary to keep the
fires burning, to the end that the
home institutions. the welfare of the
community, the maintenance of the
activities which are a part of the life
of every community, may be con-
tinued in the way that will meet the
approval of the boys who have gone
away to fight our battles and the
battles of the world.
Let us remember when we show
indifference to these things at home
that our vocal efforts are out of tune
with our real interest. We must dc
our part here at home while the boys
are doing their part in the great
theater of var.

THE ENLISTED MEN

lBy Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Ihere are many splendid soldiers,
win insignias on their shoulders;
When L meet them on the street up
goes my hand
And with military motion,
l express my sincere devotion:
Both my homage and respect these
men command.
But l somehow have a feeling.
All too earnest for concealing,
Wnen l meet the private soldiers day
, by day.
AND my heart leaps up saluting,
Ihose who quite beyond disputing.
Are the men who must go deepest
in the fray.
Theirs the duties unremitting
Theirs the pleasure brief and fitting:
Theirs the hard and dull routine
work in the rear;
Theirs to march on uncomplaining.
Be 1t hot or be 1t raining;
Theirs to plunge into the fight when
foes are near.
Theirs to make a lowly station
Shed great glory on the nation.
And II need be theirs to die to save
the land.
So, dear fellows I salute you,
And I know Death will transmute
You
Everyone into a general in Gods
land.

COTTON is IMMUNE

Amid all the talk about profiteer-
ing and the activity in regard to
price-fiXing at Washington, one pro-
duct of the country remains immune
from attack and action, and that is
cotton. This state of thing is a very
significant commentary the pres
ent political control of the country.
The more the case of cotton is con-
sidered, the more interesting it be-
comes. Before the war it was drug
upon the market. There still echoes
in the ears of the country the "buy
bale" cry that went up from the
South when first the European
struggle put an end to normal trade
conditions. But the price OF raw
cotton has gone up five hundred per
cent since the war began.
The cotton raisers boast of their
ability to prevent limitation of the
price of their product and in face
of the fact that the price of wool
and wheat and many other commod-
tiles have been regulated by law.
The cost of raising cotton has not
even been doubled. yet it is bring
ing five times the price that 1t did
before. Is the cotton raiser a pro-
fiteer? What would be said in Con-
gress of the manufacturer who had
increased the price of his products
to five hundred per cent? Loud
and long would be the denunciation
from the majority side of Congress,
and bills would be rushed through
to punish the offenders.-Phila.

Conserve Fiscal Strength

At the beginning of the war we
were debtors to the extent of from
s5,0oo,o00,0oo to $4,000, ,o00,0 900 to
foreign countries. Since August,
1914, We have acquired more than
one-third of the worlds gold coin
and bullion, and have purchased
abroad between two and one-half
and three billion dollars worth of
American securities. We have loan
ed through private channels appro-
mately 81, $2,0O0,000,000 to other coun-
tries and through the government
have advanced $4,000, 100000 to our
Allies. America will soon have its
own merchant marine and we shall
then pay to ourselves our own
freights.
In contemplating our tremendous
fiscal strength, however, we should
not lose sight of the necessity for
conserving 1t, and also for holding
our present supremacy in the worlds
money market. Let us prepare like
wise to hold and further to expand
our conditions. In brief. 1 am con-
vinced that the general use of bank
and trade acceptances will be one of
our greatest national assets not only
in the present crisis, but also in the
economic struggle which will follow
the cessation of hostilities in the
battlefields of Europe.-Albert Bre-
ton, N. Y. Banker.

STARRING RIGHT

" HE example of the men who
have had to confront the town
development problems that at
tend the construction and operation
of shipyards, iron and steel works,
collieries and other industries where
housing facilities are lacking should
commend itself to every man who
is interested in business which calls
for expansion or creation of towns.
Hundreds and hundreds of houses
have had to be constructed as nee
essary accompaniment of the great
shipbuilding enterprises at Bristol,
Chester and other places on river
and lake in Pennsylvania and as part
of the means of providing labor for
mines in Washington, Greene, Allie
gheny and other counties in the soft
coal field. In some instances they
called for buildings which would be
permanent instead of the old shack
style OF building. The attractive
home was demanded to take the
place of the barracks and the sleep
ing shed.
And these men met the situation
by going right to the State experts.
They have asked State engineers to
prescribe what should be done to
make model towns and settlements.
They asked the Commemorative
technical men to say what kind of
houses should be put up; to super
wise plans for the water supply and
to pass upon. the sewers and the dis
posal. In other words. they saw what
the older communities, which Just
grew" about some industry or trans
portation center, had to meet when
they expanded and they wanted to
start right.

PEOPLE AREN'T FOOLED

If the German government did
spend million dollars to get control
OF the New York Mail, it must long
ago have learned that it wasted its
money. 1t might have learned in
advance that it's money would be
wasted If it had made inquiry about
the fate of newspapers that had
been bought to become organs of
some interest.
The trouble is that as soon as
the public learns what is up-and 1t
soon does-the kept newspaper loses
whatever influence it might once
have had.
Public service corporations seek
ing unfair franchises have wasted an
enormous amount of money in buy
ing an interest in newspapers. For
all the good it did them they might
have thrown the money in the river.
People are wise to the game, and
they pay no attention to the inspired
utterances of the interests.
In the long run people aren't
fooled. Those who think they can
be are the real fools.-Kansas City
Star.

AS A GERMAN SEES 1T

tests against the German govern
ment's proposal to billet the German
soldiers in private families following
oemobilization at the end of war as
one that has sent a shudder through

lowing letter:
hope as a father and husband
that your paper will agitate rest

INTO our private homes.
What can our government be
thinking of to devise such an intol-
cradle intrusion on German family
lileF 1 cannot imagine the official
responsible for the idea can be
the husband of young wife or the
rather of grown-up daughters. The
whole enterprise is too horrible to
contemplate. g.

family and 1t must not be allowed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE HOUSING STUDY
Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
1t is a pleasure to read that our
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
Is about to undertake an inquiry in
to the housing situation in Harris
burg. There is no more fertile field
for investigation. And there is none
which it has longer neglected. 1
recall reading in the Telegraph
when the demolition of houses in the
old Eighth ward for Capitol Park
extension began the suggestion that
the housing situation should be in
vestigated and something done. This
suggestion was renewed about a year
ago when we could all see the big
holes being made in the district and
were wondering whether the denf-
zens were going to move to. Since
then the Chamber of Commerce has
arranged a number of parades and
has avoided doing anything that
would solve the fuel or labor prob
lens here. So with my neighbors I
am glad to see that it has gotten
awake to one of the gravest prob
lens that confronts our fair city.
Let some or the members of the
chamber make tours of Sibletown
and the old Seventh ward and some
other parts of our city and I'll war
rant you that they will find a num-
Der of their fellow citizens who
would appreciate the stimulus that
organized effort can give to a hous-
ing improvement. The old Tele-
graph is on the right track. Keep
after them.
