THE LOAD IS LIFTED

TIME load of anxiety and gloom
which has rested heavily on
each one of us during the long
years of the war, and which became
heavier with our own participation
in ii, is lifted by the signing of the
armstice terms. The skies are
brighter, because no more there
arises to darken them the smoke
from millions of guns and from hun
dreds of burning homes in France;
and the sunshine is golden, because
it is no longer shaded by the red
of sacrificial blood. Even the birds
sing more sweetly, because music
has returned to the souls of women,
and the lifeblood tingles and the
heart is thrilled by thoughts of re-
union with returning loved ones.
And above all is pride in our coun-
try and its people, and thankful
ness to the good God under whose
guidance we have been led from the
desert of war to the pleasant plains
of peace.

Soldiers Hardest Work
[From the New York SUM


More than two million American
soldiers are in Europe. 1t will be
months before the first half of the
armies is home. 1t may be a year,
two years, before the lYit Yankee
fighter comes within sight of the
Statue of Liberty.
The greatest work of the soldier is
done, but the hardest is ahead. This
is the work of waiting. The soldier
knows that peace has come to the
world, but he must stay until the
security, the permanence of that
peace is absolute. Compared with
the excitement of battle, the antici-
patton of actual conflict, the task
ahead lacks glory. The fever of war
burns out and impatience succeeds,
impatience to be home and about
the jobs of peace.
From now until the day of his re-
turn the American soldier, with a
wide sea between him and his home,
will be in greater need of comforts
than he was when the guns famed
in front of him. He will not be idle
along the Rhine, but his mind will
not be possessed by the absorbing
thoughts of war.
The country looks to the govern
ment to speed the soldier home
whenever the safety of the world will
permit. Meanwhile, for those COM
forts and pleasures which will light
en- the waiting, the soldier looks to

PEACE

TO the Editor of the Telegraph:
The mighty armies of the U. S.
A. and her Allies have saved hu-
manity.
Let us all rejoice and thank God
for this peace We should now per-
NIT importations and expectations of
foods and materials to pass the GUS
toms free of duties for period of
say twelve months between the
United States and our Allied coun-
tries.
Stop the terrible protiteering and
cornering with our daily foods, the
necessaries of life and subject those
doing it to heavy penalties and
punishment.
Now the war is over. Give us
our just liberties and freedom and
remove the wartime restrictions.
Let those who desire whisky and
beer have it and permit its manufac-
ture. Deal harshly with the small
percentage that abuse these rights.
Convert our magnificent Susque-
hanna into a great navigable river
for freight cargoes, passenger and
pleasure. Also it will solve the coal
trouble.
Use the river current for the
manufacture of electricity, for
power, lighting and heating, etc.
Thank God for this peace. God
bless the United States and its
Allies with every prosperity.

COLORED MANS HOPE
TO the Editor of the TELEGRAPH:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
1t is the fondest hope of the colored
race, that with this cruel war end
ed, that our people shall be given
their full rights and privileges as
American citizens, and that all forms
of race discrimination will have dis
appeared.
We further trust that men will be
measured rather by their ability to
do than by their color. The black
man is courageously bearing his
share OF. the burden of this world war
and is justly proud to do his duty
in support of the Stars and Stripes.
Sometimes we think in the strain
of our great w. L. b. Dubois, who on
one occasion in speaking of our race
said, "a case not altogether hopeless,
but unhopeful," and he further states
our sentiments when he says, There
shall dawn a day when it shall not be
asked of the artist, is he black, but
can he draw" When it shall not be
asked of the workman is he white.
but does he know? And we trust
that that day is not in the far dis
tant future.
Fervently do we pray that the
spirit of democracy will have so per-
meated the minds of the citizenry
of America, that when the back vet
Grams of this war, tattered and torn
by shot and shell and exposure on
the battletields of Europe, shall re-
turn to this country, that they shall
find race prejudice blotted out for
ever, and that they shall be greeted
by grateful nation and accorded
all. the glory and honor due the
heroes of this war without regard to
color or nationality.
In every war in which America
has been engaged, the black man
has gallantly played his part. We
can trace his work from Old Crispus
Attucks and Nick Biddle to their
heroic stand in Cuba in the battles
of San Juan and El Caney, and in
the present war, their memorable
battle at the bend of the Marne
where no German was able to cross
And when all is DER and when the
dove of peace shall soar unmolest-
ed over the recently turbulent fields
of battle, may we not be forgotten
in the reckoning.

LET'S SEND 'EM HOME

ND now, thu the way is open,
~ why not invite all pro-Germans
in the United States to 20 back
home-and provide them with free
passage in transatlantic cattleDoats.
We wonder what these yellowbacks
think of their beloved Kaiser now.
We wonder if they are still kow-
towing before hidden pictures of
the Highest" We wonder
what they think of "kultur" and
the "invincible German armies"
Let these go back, now, and tell
the folks at home how much they
love Wilhelm and his ways. There
are still many vacant lampposts in
Germany and we have no doubt
some of the German revolutionists
would take great pleasure in dec
Grating them with Kaiser-lovers
from America. At any rate, let's
send them back home. The United
States is no place for them.

GOOD WORK, SCOUTS

n PEDESTRIANS and automobile
drivers who were in the down.
town throngs during the cele-
bration of the end of the war on
Monday had reason to thank the
Boy Scouts of Harrisburg for their
splendid work in directing traffic.
The boys carried themselves like
veteran officers and never for a mo-
ment lost their heads. Furthermore,
without particle of authority to
support them, the crowds obeyed the
Scouts directions without question
and showed by their respectful at
ton the confidence reposed in the
boys. 1t was a fine piece of service to
the community and is on a par with
the many good works of the Scouts
in Harrisburg since the outbreak of
the war.

NO ONE-MAN POWER

n RESIDENT WILSON has not
learned a lesson from the re-
suits of the election. He in
sists upon bossing the country with
out permitting Congress to have
voice in the proceedings. A re-
sentful electorate overturned the
Democratic Congress because it is
opposed to one-man rule. but the
President goes right along his auto
cratic way, regardless of the recent
population of his policies" to quote
his own words.
His latest proposal is to assume
sole responsibility for guiding the
nation through the perilous transit
tional period from war to peace.
He wants to name a commission of
his own personal selection-with no
representation from Congress-to
outline the plans and to execute
them. Congress is to be made sim
ply me too" for the Pesident
and his commission.
If Mr.. Wilson is bent on running
his party he has chosen an excel
lent way. The people of the United
States have just spent some billions
of dollars and many precious lives in
pushing one-man power out of Ger
many and they are in no temper to
have that obnoxious principle of
government thrust upon them at
home, no matter how benevolent the
autocrat. Mr.. Wilson's appointments
in the past have not been such as to
inspire confidence in his future Sc
! lections. The few really big men he
has about him were thrust upon him
after the failure of his own favorites
and many of them are out of sym
pathy with him.
Congress has the constitutional
right to participation in treaty-mak.
ing and the reshaping of our gov.
ernmental machinery to meet the
needs of peace. The President NAV
ride over the constitution and the
rights of the legislative bodies for q
few more months, but if he does sc
he must expect the next Republican
Congress to be as vigorous in re.
storing them as he has been ruth.
less in taking them away.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT
T1HE Washington correspondent

IN HE Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press, writ
ing of presidential possibilities in
1920, a subject of growing interest
to Republicans since the turnover
in Congress, suggests General Per-
shing for the Republican nomina-
ton. He says:
In this discussion going the
rounds chiefly in Republican cir
cles the name of General Per-
shing Is most frequently heard.
They say that with the armistice
signed, and peace probably finally
concluded by the Spring of 1919
Pershing will assume greater
strength as political figure than
at present.
the ticket" said one leader.
every war has furnished
President and this war will not
fail unless historical precedent is
reversed"
1t is a lengthy and momentous
period, politically considered, until
the next national conventions meet
and much may happen in that time
to discourage the Pershing boom,
but viewing the present in the light
of the past it is not surprising that
the leaders are turning to Pershing.
The American people have been fond
of honoring their successful field
marshals with the Presidency. We
are a nation of hero worshippers,
and no man more nearly corresponds
with what the average man regards
as the ideal American than does
General Pershing. Brave, resource
full, honest, trained as an executive,
magnetic. of personality, modest of
demeanor, a man of few words and
of much initiative, he looks like
good presidential material. And
best of all he entertains no White
House ambitions. If he should be
chosen to represent his party at
Washington it would be doubtless
over his own vigorous protest
Pershing has made a wonderful
record in France and has shown
himself to be a man of eXtraordi-
nary capacity in many directions.
He is not only a splendid soldier,
but Il great organizer and executive
as well. The immensity of his
achievements abroad are in strong
contrast with the simplicity of his
character, which is illustrated by his
brief but historic statement at the
tomb of Lafayette: Lafayette, we
are here" He knows foreign con-
ditions from the inside and would
inspire confidence abroad and at
home. The Pershing boom looks
like the real thing.

BUYING XMAS CARDS

If it were not a war year, it might
seem a little queer to have Christ
mas cards crowding out those ap-
propriate to Halloween on the dis
play counters in late October.
Hoover has inspired the designer
of new cards, and one rather clever
card, printed on homely wrapping
paper, is tied with a cord camou-
tiaging ribbon. The first page of the
folder is labeled, MY Hooverized
Christmas Greeting" and the verse
on the inside pages reads:
I've HooveriZed on pork and beans,
and butter, cake and bread;
I've cut out auto riding and now
walk instead;
I've HooYerized on sugar, on coal
andelight and lard,
And here's my Xmas greeting on a
Hoover Nmas card.
Card designers have realized just
how proud people are of their men
in service, for many of the new
cards have at the top of the en-
graved greeting one or more tiny
service stars. Such cards are tied
with patriotic colored ribbons, in
stead of the familiar holiday red
and green. One little card comes
boldly out and tells that ordinary
holiday throughts are crowded out
by the explanations: It's Christ
mas, and my thoughts are over
there"
Innumerable are the cards with
tender greetings to the boy "oveT
there" A favorite successor to the
Santa Claus motif is group Z.
flags of the Allies, in colors.
Another card Stimulates a mes
senger boy with a scarf of red flan-
mel around his neck and his arms
loaded with gifts. Another popu-
lar one depicts a target in flaming
red, with old Kaiser Bill's head in
the bull's-eye. This is for the man
not yet enlisted and bears the hint,
Get your gun"
A frivolous little card bears a
picture of Mother Goose characters
and explains:
Jack. and Jill went up the hill to
shop, but soon they said:
"The things we'd buy are so darned
high, We'll send this card in
stead"
Patriotic people are already Sc
lecting their holiday greeting cards
and they will be rewarded by OBJ
tanning the choicest of the selec-
tions.-EXchange.

To float to glory on its flood
Beneath the great star eyes of God?
Thou Corsican, in times of peace;
Thou craven, when wars bugles

Thou gander of Germanic geese;

THE ARMY'S HEALTH

[From the N. Y. Times]
A vaccine prepared as a preventive
of pneumonia by the Rockefeller In
stitute at the request of the Surgeon
General of the Army was recently
administered to 10000 volunteers at
one of the camps at a time when
pneumonia (not including the in
fluenza type) was more prevalent
than usual. These men were to go
overseas in ten weeks. during that
period they were all immune. Now
the ordinary type of pneumonia
have caused more deaths in the
Army in the last two years than any
other diease. AS the incubation OF
the 10000 soldiers who placed them
selves at the disposal of the surgeon
for the test proved to be completely
successful. the new vaccine takes its
place by the side of the pro- -phyiactiC
which has conquered typhoid in the
ranks of the Army. Typhoid form

quest.
We are pulling together with one
aim, one view, an unanimity of pur-
pose-victory. Would you exchange
your present living conditions for
those under the autocracy of Eu-
rope?
Can there be anything but shame
on the wealth that does not fund a
cause so great as the United War
Campaign?
The hour of sacrifice reassays
every citizen and correctly marks
their quality.
The supreme test is the sacrifice
made by the people who remain at
home while our sons are fighting to
insure our children the freedom of
tomorrow.
Opportunity is knocking at your
door. Opportunity for the American
public to lend their assistance in a
great cause. You will answer to your
God by the deeds of sacrifice and de-
votion in this hour of duty. You
will be measured by what you have
done to help keep your flag out of
the dirt.
The only way you can help is by
giving your dollars in this most
worthy cause. Your flag out front
signifies nothing unless backed up
by your dollars. Will you answer
judgment on the great day, the
home coming of our loyal sons, with
clear conscience, and a feeling
that you did your share, with a feel
ing that you owed it to your God,
your country and yourself.
When asked for your subscrip-
tion be ready, for it is your privi-
lege as a true American to be with
those who are giving their all in
spirit as well as in thought.
Let Berlin know that you will
empty your pocketbook to avenge
Il great injustice.
Do your best.
