National Spirit in Lithudnid

1t is pitiful story that DR.. John
Szulpas, of Scranton, representative
of the American branch of the Lithu-
anian Relief Committee, brings back
from his native land. The natives.
he says, are strongly anti-German;
they are going to do everything in
their power to resist the plans of the
Hun to embrace them within his
dominion; they are in dire want and
face a dreary prospect but they are
determined to struggle on toward
the goal of independence.
Poor, miserable people! It is to be
feared that they are dreaming in
vain, unless the power of the Hun
can be shattered so thoroughly that
there will be nothing of it left. Ger
many once toyed with the suggestion
that compact nationalities be given
the right of elf-determination. Once
upon a time they promised indepen-
dence for the Polish people. But
when the Hun gnawed into the vitals
of his neighbor Russia and tasted
blood, the nervousness of the beast
was revealed. There will be moth
ing in the way of independence for
Lithuania or Poland or any other
overrun nation unless through a VIC
tory for the Allies. There can be no
other hope.-Wilkes-B Barre Record.

COMMUNION

send my love unto my dead each
day;
I know not how; I only know it
goes
Forth from my heart, and, going,
ever grows;
That, as it flies, there's nothing can
affray;
That, like dove. it fondly keeps its
way
Through dark and light along the
path it knows;
And If I toll or sleep, goes not astray.
That in its faithful fight it never
slows.
send my love unto my dead, and
they
They know it's sent, that I have
not forgot;
For often when l am alone, I feel
Their love return-and, oh, no words
can say
That peace that comes to me! II
matters not
What woes betide, I have here

The immigrant who comes 20
America to become an American and
who works at that job should he
welcome; but of late years too many
of another kind have settled here.
Powerful influences have been at
work against their Americanization
in the old way. Free entry and op-
portunity have been given not only
to the honest, sturdy immig ant
with a sincere admiration for our
country and the will to work and
become a loyal American, but to the
fellow who had only the will to work
us and against us. The foreign agi-
tator has been welcomed and told to
go ahead and agitate, even when he
blackguarded our country and lied
to the ignorant and the creduious
about our government. The pro-
fessional troublemaker has been per-
mitted to go ahead and make trouble.
Almost any scoundrel in Europe who
fancied trip to our shores has had
fair field and plenty of favor over
here-because this is a free coun-
try and the refuge of the oppressed" ="
1t has been the refuge of the op-
pressed, but it has also been the
haven of lot of rascals who have
abused our hospitality and besmirch-
ed our institutions, not only from the
soap box but from the forum.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ADDRESSES CUSTOMERS
To the Editor of the Telegraph:


Through some disobedience of the
food law, the Schmidt Bakery plants
were shut down for twenty Eight
days. 1 am one of the drivers and
have a retail route on the Hill con-
sisting of about three hundred, re-
tail customers.
The majority of them have boug&t
from me from the beginning, the
balance have come in later. They
have treated me with the greatest
respect and courtesy and paid
prompt with but few exceptions. l
would be less than human not to
thank them for this. Misfortunes
will come in any ones life. 1t is
best to take them up bravely, bear
them cheerfully and at last lay them
down triumphantly. Excepting
Providential prevention, 1 will be
back on my route just as soon as
the bakeries open. Therefore 1 ask
my customers to kindly wait for me
and receive me with the same re-
spect and courtesy they always did.
l will assure them the same square
deal always give them. No doubt
many of my competitors have lots
of fun at my expense.
All right, boys, I am glad you
have the chance to laugh and grow
fat. But, do not forget the old
scriptural saying, LAS Many as There
Are Without Sin Let Them Cast the
First Stone"

MOTHERS OF MEN

Mothers of Men-the words are good
indeed in the saying,
Pride in the very sound of them,
strength in the sense of them,
then
Why is It their faces haunt me, visit
full faces as praying
Ever some dear thingvanished and
ever hope delaying,
Mothers of Men?
Mothers of Men, most patient, ten
derly slow to discover
The loss of the old allegiance that
may not return again.
You give a man to the world, you
give a woman a lover
Where is your solace then when
the time of giving is over,
Mothers of Men?
Mothers of Men, but the title is
worth the earning.
You who are brave in feigning
must I ever behold you then
BY the door of an empty heart with
the lamp of faith still burning,
Watching the ways of life for the
sight of a child returning,
Mothers of Menu.

FEWER CROSSINGS

M EMBERS of the Public Service
N Commission are to be COM
mended for the decision in the
Nanticoke case. wherein an additional
siding. which meant a new grade
crossing on a busy highway, was re-
fused because the industrial concern
owning the siding tried to hold up
another which had been using It un-
der lease. 1t was a plain case whore
an effort to get a larger rental was
made and the alternative was an
other siding and another crossing.
The Commission has laid down
the principle that sidings are as
much utilities as main lines and
that all things being equal, the
public interest is to be con-
served first. It very properly
offers to make an order fixing a
reasonable rental IL the parties can
not agree to joint use.
The ruling is a timely exercise of
the authority granted to the commits
sion and IL it is going to keep down
the number OF grade crossings there
should be more of it.

THEN AND NOW

" HERE are hints from railroad
quarters that Mr.. McAdoo is
very desirous of learning what
the opinion of the shipping public is
relative to the proposed twenty-five
per cent, increase in freight rates
but he need not be concerned. The
shipper is a patriotic citizen. Mr.. Mo
Adoo says the increase is necessary
as a war measure to keep the rail-
roads up to par and the American
shipper is no Stacker. He may think
much, but he will say little and pay
his share of railroad expenses as
cheerfully as his individual dispo-
sition and the fervency of his pa
vriotism will permit.
But it does seem peculiar that the
government should have turned so
completely right-about face with re-
gard TO freight rates. II the increase
was unwarranted when the railroads
asked for il, il is unwarranted now.
II it was a proper request then, il is
proper now, and that being admitted,
it would appear that an injustice was
done the railroads by repeated re-
fusals on the part of the government
for revision upward of the tariffs.
Had the railroads been permitted to
meet growing expenses with ade-
Quate advances in rates there would
have been no wage controversy of
importance and the crisis of the war
would have found them well
equipped financially and mechanic
ally 10 meet the new burdens.
Mr.. McAdoo need not worry. The
public will pay the freight cheer
fully, but it must be permitted to
smile a little over the difference be-
tween Mr.. McAdoo politician play
ing for votes and Mr.. McAdoo rail-
road manager.

INLAND WATERWAYS

ONGRESSM AN HAM P T n
4 MOORE is justified in his Wig
~ orous statement regarding the
procrastination of the Government
in the matter of the inner waterways
along the Atlantic coast which would
now be the most effective means OF
defense from the submarine menace.
If the millions which are being
squandered from year to year in the
dredging of alleged harbors and
deepening of creeks in the South and
elsewhere had been utilized in pro-
viding the ship canals for which
Congressman Moore and others have
been contending. the country would
to-day be less disturbed about the
possibilities of further raids along
the Atlantic coast.
It seems that our lessons in this
country must be gained at enormous
cost, but let us hope that the tend
ency to procrastination which has
been the great national failing may
quickly give way to energetic and
constructive effort in all directions.

THE MEAT OF THE NUT

1E EMBERS of the Rotary Club
N are quite right in their con-
tention that traffic regulation
is not so much a matter Of council
manic enactment as of police en-
forcement.
We have on the ordinance books
of the city rules governing the oper-
alton of all manner of vehicles that
IL enforced would leave little ground
for complaint. But, unfortunately,
these ordinances are violated without
more than passing attention by the
police and without punishment of
those guilty of breaking the laws.
Many persons are unaware of their
existence.
The proposed code may be devised
with the utmost care, it may be
skillfully drawn, it may be drastic in
the extreme, 1t may be a model OF
its kind. but IL it is not to be en-
forced it may as we'll remain un-
written.

The American Husband

I wonder whether you American
men, when the test comes, are go
ing to live up to your very high repu-
tation, asks Mrs. A. Burnett-S Smith,
in the June Atlantic. AS husbands
you are considered to have no equals
on the face of the earth. When little
jars occur, as they do in the best
households, we have been known to
tell our lawful spouses that we
wished we had married American
husbands. Even now. 1 suppose,
you have to eat things that you don't
particularly want. The true patriot
Is the man who can eat an imitation
beefsteak, with smile on his face,
and tell the woman who prepared it
that IL is as good as the real thing.

WHEN TRANSPORTS SAIL

The ships move out of the icy bay
And a group of women watch
them go.
Our eyes are salt as the blowing
spray,
But we smile with hearts that
glow.
Why should our eyes be brimming
so?
What right have our hearts to that
fire divine?
There's never a soldier sails to-day
That is hers-or hers-or mine.
By the right of farewells that can
never be said,
And right that never was worn,
By the right of lad in his spring.
time dead
And boy that never was born,
0 mothers of sons who sail this
We are praying them out to sea,
Your children, that God might have
given instead
To her-to her-to me.

NO DOUBT OF RESULT

OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE

n important conference has
y been held this week in New
L II York city looking to the re-
cruiting of not less than 1000 men
and 700 women for Y. NJ. c. A.
war work and canteen service over
seas. With the increasing American
army on the other side, the imminent
need of the services OF high type
men and women is emphasized. Now
is the time for men who cannot do
actual lighting, but who are equipped
by experience to do the many i'm
portant things that may be done by
the Y. NJ. C. A, to come forward.
The morale of our troops now
fighting for US in France must be
sustained and il is the testimony of
high officers and men in the ranks
alike that the Y. NJ c. A is the one
institution which is most needed to
maintain the fighting spirit and to
give comfort to our men in the
service

4 MEXICAN carelessness, cussed-

A MERICAN carelessness, cussed-
ness and politics are respon-
sible for the internal situation that
has caused SO much anxiety during
the past year. In the heat and stir
of preparation the scum has risen
to the top.
As America has turned her face
toward the enemy every dirty cur
in the country has snapped at her
heels We have found that enemy
intrenched in America as we'll as in
France-sapping in our schools, un-
dermining in our press, burrowing
in our municipal and state govern
ments-sniplng whenever back
has been turned.
1t looks bad. but 1t is only scum,
and beneath it Americanism Is COM
ing to the boiling point. We are in
the healthy condition of knowing
what the trouble is. We have been
too free with America-giving every
thing and demanding nothing. We
have had a happy-go-lucky, don't
care theory that nobody need worry
about what the unassimilated for
eigner did or thought; that every
I thing would come out right in the
end; that there was some magic in
our air that would transform the
lazy, the weak, the vicious, into
hard-working, honest. desirable
American citizens. We have con-
sidered the rights" of every nation

THE ROSE SHOW

And peek in thru the chinkin

And for most of us, also. roses hold
memories. OF day in June and
commencement campus, perhaps, or
a bride tossing her boquet to the
eagerly outstretched hands OF bevy
of laughing girls, or the faded re-
minders of a dead romance, or Just
the June blossoms of a homely gar
den that blossomed when skies were
blue and the days held naught out
pleasure and life itself was rose
bordered path leading along toward
a golden future.
So the rose show at the Y. NJ. c. A.
tomorrow and Saturday-the first of
the kind for Harrisburg-should
have an attraction for all of us. 1t Is
the initial public movement toward
making this a city of roses. How far
we have gotten along in that direc-
ton and the possibilities ahead may
be judged by reproduction of photo
graphs published elsewhere in this
issue of the Telegraph.
Don't miss the rose show. Help by
your attendance to make it an an
nual event.
