Washington, April 3.-iWath the
second stage of the battle of Picardy
still to develop, Washington today
was specializing what the next move
win be- Army strategists are some
what puzzled because the rolling-up
movement, which seemingly was
started by the British and French
has been abandoned. 1t is believed
that there has been a distinct change
in the plans of General Foch, the su
preme commender in chief, and no
one here would be surprised should
the entente try an offensive against
the Germans at a point far removed
from the present scene Of the fight
ing.
May Be Final Campaign.
The series of battles which the
German assault precipitated must
last for months, officers here say.
They declare that there is decided
chance that this summers campaign
can be made the final one of the war.
Germany now is at the maximum in
men, these Officers say, and it has
been demonstrated that the allied
forces now in France can hold the
German armies.
The losses of the last 10 days
fighting have been very large, but
far more on the German than on the
T.itish side. The reserve army. Gre
ated by the supreme war council at
Versailles, has not yet been engaged
anywhere, so far as can be learned
here. Therefore, they say, the mi
tiatiye can be assumed by General
Foch at any moment, and that when
he does take it, it must be develop
ed everywhere and the attacks push
ed regardless of the cost Of men and
material.

TEACHERS PAY

DROF. sHAMBAUGHS conten-
- ton that a fiat increase OF 20
- per cent. in the pay of school
teachers throughout the State would
not be equitable nor beneficial to the
service in the highest possible degree
is we'll founded. The teachers OF
the larger cities, by the very nature
of things, are better situated with
regard to pay than those of the
smaller communities and the rural
districts. Their salaries are larger
by far and their school terms are
longer, enabling them to earn more
This Is no argument against
general advance for all teachers. AS
compared with other lines oil en-
deavor requiring training and pro-
fessional skill, their salaries are
pitifully small. Unless 1t be the
ministry, there is no other profes-
sion where the requirements are SO
great and the monetary return so
little. But, as Prof. Shambaugh
says, a twenty-five per cent. nat IN
crease would not cover the ground.
An advance graded in proportion to
the pay, so that the country teach
ers and those outside the metropol-
itan centers would get the bulk of
the additional money would better
meet the needs Of the situation, and
would do much to improve and
stableize conditions in the rural To-
calities where good teachers are
difficult to procure for present rates
of pay, and even more difficult to
keep. School teaching, at half the
pay of the ordinary farm hand, is
not an occupation to attract the
able or the ambitious.

Not Sentiment But Business

(From the New York World)
When a concern in business has

interests do what it can to hold
that customer. If the customer needs
The credit or time will be given in
the certain knowledge that if it is
not the customer will be lost.
No one would venture to tell that
concern that it was giving an exhi-
bition of Spectacular finance" in
granting credit under such circum-
stances, or say that 1t was walking
with its head in the clouds" or act
ing "as Santa Claus" or cultivat-
ing it's own ruin by helping along a
possible future competitor in trade
that is mutually profitable. If some
one should venture so to inform the
concern he would be called stupid for
his pains.
But such things are being said in
Congress of Secretary McAdoo's
plan for making trade loans to
France in its work of industrial re-
construction from the ravages of the
German invasion. 1t is the same
sort of case. France is the good
customer that needs time in paying
for materials which this country has
to sell and which Will be required
in the restoration of French indus
try. And if France is not given
time, France will have to and will
go somewhere else for the goods.
This is not q matter of sentiment.
1t is q matter of cold business.

IN is the good fortune of Harris-
(From the Philadelphia Record)

TT is the good fortune of Harris
burg to be the capital of a state
- which, though too often sadly
misgoverned, is still disposed to do
the handsome thing by its seat of
government. This fact is brought
out strikingly in the sketches pub
lished of the proposed improvement
of the extension of Capitol Park,
which, presents a remarkable oppor-
tunity for the Identification of the
city on the Susquehanna. The
ground embraced in this extension
has been purchased by the Com
monwealth at an expense OF over
S2,000,000, and cleared of the very
shabby buildings which long COW
cred 1t. The removal of these gives
a space of nearly thirty acres in
the rear of the Capitol, splendid
opening for the best work of COM
petent architects and landscape
gardeners. The plans prepared for
the utilization of this area, including
fine memorial bridge over the
tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad,
seem to be we'll designed and judici-
ous.- 1t will fall to the Sproul ad-
ministration to see that these are
carried out without any of that
graft and scandal which made the
construction of the new Capitol so
painful a matter to honest persons.
The location of Harrisburg is such
that 1t ought to be made one of the
most beautiful of the smaller cities
of the country, especially when back
of it stands a Commonwealth ready
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-12-18

to spend millions for improvement
The frontage on the Susquehanna, OF
which such excellent advantage has
been taken in the parking of the
river bank, suggests the extension or
that work. Back of the city lie
hills affording glorious views and
available for residential sections Of
the best type. The lordly Susque-
hanna, so broad and so picturesque,
with its islands and vistas of noun
tains, is an asset of Incompatible
value. Happily for the good of the
community, it has had municipal ad-
ministrators who have realized all
these possibilities, and who have
been glad to cooperate with the
state authorities in bringing city
and state improvements into entire
harmony. A continuation of such
cooperation, as applied to the
treatment of the Capitol Park eX-
tension, ought to produce the hap
piest results. 1t Is not too much to
hope that as Harrisburg grows in
beauty it will exercise a refining and
uplifting influence upon the Solons
who gather there for biennial tink-
erlng of the state laws. Amid such
attractive surroundings they may in
time attain to wisdom and political
independence. Let us at least be-
lieve in such a possibility. In the
meantime, the good people of Penn
sylvania will be glad to see the
Capitol improvements pressed as
rapidly as possible and brought to a
finish without a suspicion of any
scandal

TO THE DEAD
a Medication

A Dedication
Maurice Hewlett, in the London
Chronicle.]
In days to come when husht the
strife,
And scab of rust aligns the blade
Wherewith, to save, you ventur'd
life
And all the promise youth had
made;
When the red roads are all relaid
And u man dares to leave his wife
For his days work, sure that his
maid
And she are safe from German
knife;
When all the Kings are crown'd or
dead,
And eVcSy general made a lord;
When all the thanksgivings are said,
Dealt every medal and award
Let there be one found to record
Your deed who were content to
tread
The way of death, a nameless
horde,
Unribbon'd and unheralded.
think 1 see the bristled spills
That stud the field where thick
you lie;
know what heavy taint distills E 4,
From countless graves in Picardy;
see the hoody crow and pie
Preening themselves with stated bills
There where sick and leaden
sky
Hangs like pail upon the hills;
Then, if 1 stand on that gray plain
Where the seawind forever means
And low clouds fling the sheeted
rain
Over the sand that hides your
bones,
think to hear your undertones
That say, Tell them there is no
gain
To us in any churchyard stones
To guard the bed where we are lain.
But say that what we had we gave
So men should hold their heads
upright;
And if no man need be a slave
ILenceforth, we were content TO
fight.
When the peace beacon throws
her light
1t may not warm us in the grave:
Yet let them spare thought
that night
To us who sleep beyond the wave"
I who have learn'd your simple lore
And gain'd by everything you lose,
Chiefest to love that country more
Which breeds such men for such
q use,
How should | falter and refuse
What blood my heart has yet IN
/ store,
To write in it the holy dues
! or you who fought the holy war;
