BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

French in NutshelI.--Two books
for the study of French which E. P.
Dutton & Co. are publishing will
command themselves at once to all
who are taking up or planning to
begin the study of that language.
One is French in a Nutshell" by
Jean Leeman and the other Col
loquial French" by William Robert
Patterson. The former is a practical
phrase book designed especially for
the use of the American Red Cross,
the Army and Navy, and is the work
of Frenchman who has been teach
ing for years in America. Mr.. Pat
terson's book has been written with
the needs in view of those who want
a conversational knowledge of
French either for business or pleas
ure. It contains extensive exercises
in the form of conversations under
changing conditions between a GEN.
trail character and the people he
meets in his wanderings.

Many people in Reading are advo-
eating the change of the name of
Sauerkraut" to "Kapusta," the
Polish name for it. 1t is claimed the
Poles made "Sauerkraut" long be-
fore the Germans ever heard about it.
What has become of the old-fash-
ioned village postmaster who used
to have nothing to do but walk up
and down the railroad platform, sign
the payroll and look for the coming
of the post Office inspectors? Now he
is not only subject to the rules of the
Civil Service, but acts as recruiting
officer for the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps, sells Thrift Stamps,
runs a postal savings bank and has
a score of other duties.
Two employees of the Reading
Chain Block Works, earning $50 a
week each, and one at the Carpenter
Steel Works were run out of the
plants because they refused to give
to the Red Cross.

~ INCE universal military training
~ has become almost a national
policy may we not hope that
some of the red-blooded leaders of
education in this city will make an
effort to do something in the high
schools and academies here. The
Telegraph was instrumental some
years ago in having a cadet corps or
ganized at the Central High school,
but mollycoddle physical instruc-
tor permitted the organization to
languish and finally die. He thought
he was overworked. Now high
school cadet organizations are being
formed in many cities.
A course of military training in
the Philadelphia High Schools as a
necessity brought about by the Ma
TONS entrance into the war will be
urged upon the joint committee on
high schools and the Board of Edu-
cation by Dr. John P. CARRIER, su-
perintendent of schools, at it's
monthly meeting tomorrow. 1t is
considered possible that the COM
mittee will recommend military
training to the Board of Education
at it's Junemeeting. At the same time.
prominent Philadelphia civic and
patriotic organizations continue to
clamor for a consistent system of
military training for the schools.
In Harrisburg we could easily have
a battalion of cadets. as outlined by
the Telegraph three or four years
ago. This battalion might include
the high schools, the Harrisburg
Academy and st. Patrick's parochial
school. 1t ought to be easily pos
sible to organize four full Companies
and it would not be a difficult mat
ter to obtain the services of a COM
petent military drill master for the
battalion.
Considerable data on this subject
was gathered by the Telegraph and
finally turned over to Superinten-
dent Downes, but at the time the
movement was allowed to languish
on the general presumption that too
many patrons of the schools were
fearful of intoxicating militarism.
These were forgetful of the tremen-
dous advantages growing out of mill
tary training in the way of disci-
pline. obedience to law and physi-
cal betterment.
In the public schools of wyom-
ing a system of military training has
been adopted and is said to have the
endorsement of the War Depart
ment. 1t is spreading to the public
schools of the country. This Is
known as the Steever plan and is a
definite effort to correlate military
training for high schools with the
educational system. The plan of
military instruction is at present in
stalled in more than forty of the
largest cities in the country, includ-
ing Chicago. Cleveland. Denver,
Kansas City. st. Louis, Detroit and
Louisville.
{ The cadets under the Steever plan
are in uniform for all drills, and are
furnished with rifles and proper
equipment by the United States gov.

AS a matter of fact, there never
has been a day in the thirty-seven
years of prohibition in which Kansas
was inclined to go back to the soloon.
The overwhelming sentiment of the
state has been on the side of pro-
hibition at all times. The people
were too patient for many years
with lax methods of law enforce
ment. and allowed the politicians to
play the game" in order to get the
wet" vote. But when the people
spoke, the joints were closed.
One of the early forms of political
entertainment in Kansas was the
movement in every campaign to re-
submit the question. The joint
keepers and the brewers would hold
conferences in Topeka and Wichita
and other towns to formulate
plans" and to take steps," They
would employ smooth politicians"
to make the campaign for them.
There would be much whispering"
among the initiated as to how the
movement was coming on" and
then
When the candidates for the Leg
islature made their campaign among
the people they would be asked this
one question:; How do you stand
on resubmission? The man who
tried to sidestep the question would
be defeated. 1t is doubtful if the
resubmissionists ever mustered as
many as twenty votes in any session
of the Legislature.

THE SILENT ARMY

No bugle is blown. no roll of drums,
No sound of an army marching;
No banners wave high, no battle-cry
Comes from the war-worn fields
where they lie,
The blue sky overarching.
The call sounds clearer than bugle
call
From the silent dreamless army,
mo towards were we, when we
heard the call,
For freedom we grudged not to give
our ALL"
Is the call from the silent army.
flushed and quiet and still they lie.
This silent, dreamless army,
While living. comrades spring to their
side,
And the bugle call and the battle
cry
Is heard as dreamer and dreamless
lie
Under the stars of the arching sky.
The men who have heard from the
men who have died
The call of the silent army.

A FINE EXAMPLE

H1 HAT was a fine thing which
John S. Davis, well-known hotel
man of Mechanicsburg, did for
the Red Cross, and worthy of emula-
ton. Mr.. Davis. who has contributed
two sons to the army, in addition to
mis- personal support of the Red
cross movement turned over to the
treasurer the proceeds of a turkey
dinner which he gave at his hotel,
the American House, the tickets TO
which brought 81 each. Mr.. Davis
also gave 80 bushels of potatoes
which were sold and the money
turned over TO the Cumberland
county fund. Personal thought and
service of this kind are worth more
than mere money, for they bespeak
the spirit which prompts the gift.

OUR SOLDIERS

II giving serious thought to its
duty with respect to the SOL
diers from this city and vicinity who
are serving with the colors when
they return home. 1t can hardly be
expected that all will escape wounds
and disability. Many will come back
unfit for the positions which they
filed before leaving for the front
and the reclamation of the crippled
and disabled should be the subject
of careful investigation and study, to
the end that these brave men shall be
able to resume their ordinary activi-
ties without too great a handicap.
England and France and Canada
and other countries at war have al
ready organized for this duty and
Harrisburg, which has been fore
most in every patriotic way, will not
falter in providing for its disabled
boys on their return home from the
battle lines.
This may be proper matter for
the consideration of the Chamber
of Commerce and now is the time
to start an investigation of what is
being done at Toronto and elsewhere,
so that we may be able as COM
munity to approach this important
phase of war activities in a practical
way. We want to do everything that
is possible to make our soldiers feel
that the interest at home is not con-
fined to sending them into battle
only, but also to adequate support
while they are at the front and res
toration to civil life with as little
handicap as possible.
