l WW one week from the day we mos tored out of Birmingham we rolled into Washington.
 An instructive. pleasant and comforta- ble trip it has been, with but one tire 1 change, an inner tube having to be re- placed on account of small, sharp nail going through it.
 The speedometer showed 9s3 miles. but this included jaunts about the several in- teresting towns.
 From Saturday until Monday at noon in Bristol and from Tuesday afternoon until Thursday morning in my college | town-Lexington, va.-when my old friends of 'S1 to 5 made me feel desire to kick the football over the campus again. The Dutch Inn at Lexington, in it's quaintness, good food and genuine re- fined hospitality was like an oasis in a desert of mediocre hotels along the route. Between Roanoke and Natural Bridge we met Mrs. E. M. Tutwiler and Mrs. Herbert Tutwiler motoring home after a summer among the Virginia resorts. They were having a good time regardless of the fact that the men of the family were at home.
 From Bristol to Roanoke-a matter Of 157 milestone of the road bad and other parts rocky and profane-we made from II o'clock in the day, but were we'll in the night reaching Roanoke. A wonderfully beautiful and rich agricultural country 1t is, dotted with apple orchards, but in- terspersed with exclamations of profanity caused by tho rocky and bumpy roads every now and then. Smooth surfaces are like the colors in peppermint stick candy.
 From Roanoke to Lexington, the next day, the roads were very good via Buch- anan into Natural Bridge, but some five miles of the fifteen from Natural Bridge to Lexington were skiddy after the rain which we ran into here, the only rain we had on the entire trip.
 From Lexington to staunton, after a rain, the roads were rank.
 But from Staunton to Winchester-9i miles-the roads are perfect dream, through country like garden of Eden Alabama variety.

Won Hindenburg Gives
 Germans a Watchword

E HELD MARSHAL VON HIN J DENBURG, replying to greet ings sent him from patriotic meet ing at Juterbog, said: "The first re- plies from the enemy camp to the Aus trian note reveal our enemies state of mind In the face of this there can be only one watchword: German peo- pie, be hard.'"
 Under the careful tutelage of the Prussian war-lords, the German people have been hard, but it has worked to their own undoing. The policy that might makes right has been the slo- gan of Germany ever since Prussia rose to dominate the German states and has brought on this world holo- caust which will either make or break the German people.
 A little while longer they may be "hard." Their morale is not what it was 12 months ago, far from it. But they are not yet in that chastened frame of mind which leads to refor- nation. Force to the utmost" is the slogan with which the allies will op- pose the central powers until those governments acknowledge their wrongdoing and surrender.
 The temper of Germany's enemies is will to victory that will accept no compromise. It is not, as their lead CTS have repeatedly told the German people, desire to destroy them and , all their works. It is the fixed deter imitation to make this world fit to live in. not fer a year or two, but for a long time altruists hope, for all time.
 The field marshal speaks in char acteristic vein. He and Von Luden- dorff and the Kaiser, who is afraid of them in his heart, are the last expo- nents of the cult which brought about this war. What they stand for must be destroyed utterly.

EVERY INCH A QUEEN

From the New York Herald.
 Marie of Rumania is Queen among women and a woman among queens. AL though married to Hohenzollern prince, she abhors kaiserism and Prus- sianism and all they stand for. It was due to her pertinacy that her husband consented to Rumania entering the war on the side of the entente. and when her country was so basely betrayed by Russia and was forced into an igno- minious peace it was she who sought |by entreaty and denunciation to pre- vent her husband and his ministers fl om ratifying a treaty only few de- ovsk Her first born son has the spirit of his mother. and it may be believed at her instigation he forced his way into the council of state, which was considereding the treaty imposed by Germany and denounced it.
 Since then the King and Queen of Rumania have left the temporary capi- tai of Jassy and have retired to small country estate in order to keep the Germans who infest the country at 3 distance. The Queen is found working |indomitably for the entente cause and seeking to induce her country to re-
 new it's compact with the allies Such spirit is worthy of the highest admira- tion. It is akin to that of Albert and
 Elizabeth of Belgium. and proves that rnhc xr,bo their plighted word, who loathe mili- tarism and tyranny with most demo- cratic loathing, and who place the cause of humanity and civilization be- fore that of kingship.

Too Many Automobile
 Accidents in Birmingham

ID ECKLEss automobile drivers 0S are a menace to the lives of Birmingham citizens. While the police department is admittedly handicapped in dealing with these offenders, the alarming number of accidents indi- cates wholesale violations of traffic laws.
 It is estimated that there have been about 50 automobile accidents in Bir- mingham during the past few months. Several have resulted fatally and a number of people were seriously in- jured. Collisions have been frequent.
 The least observant person sees ev- cry day numerous violations of the traffic laws, particularly in the resi- dence districts and in outlying parts of town, where drivers consider them selves safe from arrest.
 It is reported that there may be a grand jury investigation. This may not be necessary, yet the police de- partment should concentrate it's ener- gies on making the streets not only safe for pedestrians and careful driv- CTS, but should by strict enforce ment of the traffic laws, prevent au- tomobilists from endangering their own lives and the lives of their pas sengers.

Eager For the Big
 Liberty Loan Drive

e ECRETARY OF THE TREAS !g JURY M'ADOO has announced six billion dollars as the minimum
 sought for the fourth Liberty Loan. I This sum would have seemed stu Ipendous year ago, but now that the people are used to thinking in terms
 of billions a six billion proposition
 Hooks easy"
 The forthcoming Loan will be sub-
 scribed in three weeks time---the limit of the campaign Men of wealth will invest largely in the fourth Liberty
 Bonds and men and women of moder- ateAmeans will be true to form and buy Bonds to the full extent of their
 ability. Patriotism is the motive and many subscription will be the re- suit of self-denial on the part of the investor. That, of course, is as it should be.
 The sale of Bonds of the smaller denominations will amount to great volume, for countless thousands will buy the hundred-dollar Bonds and
 countless thousands more will buy lfifty-dollar Bonds.
 The public is eager for the cam paign to open. As brisk as the de-
 mand was for the first, second and 1 third Liberty Bonds, it will be even lbrisker for the fourth Liberty issue, the biggest of all. The people have Ibeen thoroughly educated in the mat ter of responding to the appeals of the treasury department for the win ming of the war.
 In times like these it is not ques- tion of giving to war causes or lend ing money to the government, being
 Financially convenient. One feels it lis the patriotic thing for every wage
 earner to do. Buy all you can" is the

 son county will absorb it's allotment Iof the fourth Liberty Loan, as it has

HARRISBURG AT THE
TURNING POINT

Continued from First Page.1
house is vacated the new tenant is
asked more than the old.
This condition is bad enough but
the scarcity of houses and the run
down condition of hundreds of those
that do rent for figures within the
reach of the average workingman
are far more. The outrageous home
conditions to be found in the poorer
quarters of Harrisburg approach
those of the slum districts of Chi
cago and will be dealt with by pho
tographic illustration and otherwise
in subsequent instalments of this
series.
Most serious of all from the win
the-war" standpoint of our great
steel and railroad industries, now en-
gagged to the extent of millions of
dollars in important government
work which the War Department is
demanding that they speed up, is
the fact that there are no houses for
incoming employees. Hundreds more
men are needed. They are hired,
come here and go to work, but when
they plan to bring their families they
are unable to find homes for them.
Then they either go back whence
they came or go on to communities
that offer them a roof for their
heads. And the war industries lose
their services.
800 Per Cent. Turn Over
The seriousness of the situation
may be judged from the statement
of a big employer to the effect that
the labor turn over in some Harris
burg mills and factories is as much
as 800 per cent.
One Hagerstown man advertised
for house to rent at S25 a month.
He got no replies.
Another man, called out of the
city to accept a government position
in the South, found himself with n
lease on his hands and had to find
a tenant quickly.
Twenty-three For One House
He placed an advertisement to run
In the Telegraph three times.
