! ne wind astir in a field OF corn?
Thcn you know now it nuttcrs here

And now. of a sudden. seems every

And then with low whispering. slips

Past morning glorics that nod and

And you've felt the breath OF tho mca-

Where the earth lay soft TO your eager

Are there only hreczes that dutter here.
Or mischicvous fairies a-hovcring near?

ular trip across the Channel the Brus-
sells was held UP by n German sublna-

to ram. and sink 1t. In this he did not

OUR CIVIC DUTY

"HE Telegraph has frequently re-
ferred to the fact that there
should be no let down in our
municipal and civic activities during
the war; that neglect of our parks
and Fairgrounds and the other things
which have been created at great eX-
pense cannot be justified on the
ground that these are not war
necessities" Just the other day the
newspapers contained story of the
dedication of a new bridge over the
River Rohn at Lyons, France. This
bridge was built since the war be-
gan and parallels an older bridge
named in honor of Lafayette. The
new bridge will be named Wilson in
honor of our president.
Manifestly, the French people are
not going to neglect their ordinary
municipal activities and interests on
account of the war. Nor should
Harrisburg be led into error in this
respect. We have an admirable
City Planning Commission, which
should go right along with it's con-
structive work, to the end that the
period Immediately following the
war may be characterized by unu-
sual activity in the working out of
plans now being considered for the
future growth and development of
the city.
Too often failure to do the things
that ought to be done is excused be-
cause officials prefer not to be both
cred" with the important work of
making a city wholesome and at
tractive. Their vision is limited
when they fail to realize. that re-
sponsibility does not cease with rou-
tine tasks.

THE WORLD BULLY
New York Times. ]

Captain Lieutenant Franz Rim
telen, German naval officer some
time banker, one of the most active
and dangerous of German spies in
the United States, is now serving a
term in a New Jersey penitentiary
for conspiring with "Wolf" Lamar
and others to cause strikes in mu-
milton factories. At the expiration
OF this sentence he will have two
others to serve, one for getting a
fraudulent passport from the State
Department, one for conspiracy to
destroy Entente food and munition
ships. He has been mixed up in and
the purse-bearer of many German
plots. He is an arrant spy, and would
be shot as a spy were he now to
commit the crimes which he has
committed.
Secretary Lansing's answer to this
bullying note is sharp, strong, blow
in the face. Courage and patriotism,
resolute Americanism, ring from it.
He refuses absolutely even to con-
slider release or exchange or ANY in
reference with the due process of
law in this case" He reminds Will
helmstrasse that, while the United
States does not acknowledge the
legitimacy or necessity of ''reprisals
occasioning physical suffering" Ito
enforce demands from one belliger-
ent to another" IF Germany acts
upon that principle it will inevitably
be understood to invite similar re-
ciprocal action on the part of the
United States with respect to the
great numbers of German subjects
in this country" Germany can put
that in her pipe and smoke it. So
ingrained and inveterate is her belief
in frightfulness, her habit of bull
doing other nations, that she cannot
give'it up. 1t will be wiser for her
to bully only little nations in future.
The United States, after a long pa
tience, is protecting her rights and
the rights of free civilization with all
her might of men and resources. Is
it to gull honest Michael" worried
over the steady inpour of American
troops into France, that Germany
makes this impudent demand and
threat?

OUR WAR GOSPEL

~ ECRETARY LANSING. no doubt
rejecting the sentiments of
~ President Wilson, is preaching
as our gospel of war that we are
fighting the whole German people,
that there can be compromise with
Prussianism and that we must ut
terly crush the German beast before
we can consider peace.
That is most excellent doctrine. 1t
is in direct contradiction with the
belief of the President at the out
start of the war and differs almost
as widely with the thought OF the
American people at that time, but
it agrees absolutely with public con-
viction now. There was a time when
1t was thought in America that the
German people were simply the un-
willing tools of the military party.
We know now how false that was.
We know now that the German peo-
pie will be willing enough to condone
the frightfulness of their govern
ment and to rob the people of the
world Of their liberty and their be-
longings if the Prussian hosts should
be victorious. We know now that the
only way to divorce the German peo-
pie from their government and show
them the error Of their ways is with
a club. Once the German army is
decisively defeated we may look for
a revolution in Germany-something
after the manner in which pack of
wolves turns upon and rends to
pieces one of it's number when it
falls wounded-but not before.
The American people believe this.
Their confidence in Secretary Lam
sing is increased by his constant
preaching from this text. They want
to go on to the finish of Germany.
They will be content with nothing
less than complete victory They are
happy to learn that the administra-
ton is In complete accord with them
on this issue.

Mdnpower viii Decide
kansas City Times.1


The June drafts which bring the
army up to two million men and
more, will help us to understand still
more clearly the nature of the great
contest we are engaged in with the
Germanic powers. 1t is a contest of
manpower. Premier Clemenceau
said in The French chamber: THE
Americans are stalking the game on
the help of the Americans" His
words had a literal meaning. They
meant that the manpower of France
and England was not equal to the
manpower of the central powers and
that only the manpower of America
could turn the scale against them.
The Germans have the summer
before them. Operating on inside
lines and able therefore to make
huge concentrations against the
points selected for attack, they may
be able with these superior numbers
to make continued gains of territory,
paying, of course, what price the
stubborn resistance of the Allies can
exact. This process must, in all like
lihood, go on until American man
power brought into the field swings
the balance in favor of the Allies.

A FRONT IN RUSSIA

"HERE is good sense in what
former President Taft says about
the situation in Russia. Either
we must create front in the East
or we must be content to permit
Germany to concentrate all her
forces in the West, while she gradu-
ally takes over Russia and makes 1t
a part of the great Central Empire
to which she aspires.
Furthermore, 100000 American
ana allied troops in Russia would
be worth a million on the west
front, for Germany would have to
withdraw at least that number of
troops from the west line to guard
the numerous approaches and the
long border which the Russians
themselves in the early days so con-
stantly threatened.
We must do something in Rus
STA. Instead of coddling the Boil
sheviki of that country we must un-
dertake their overthrow. They are
not popular at home and they are
steadily playing into the hands of
Germany. They preach liberty and
they practice serfdom. They talk
of making their country free and
they sell it into slavery For the
sake of the Russians themselves. as
well as for our own interests. we
must take a hand in affairs in the
East.
The English recognized the i'm
portance of the eastern theater of
war much more quickly than did
any other of the allies, and but for
the victories of General Maude and
the capture of Bagdad, the German
Berlin to Bagdad railway would he
an accomplished fact, CARRYING
steadily to Germany countless cars
of grains and giving that country
another outlet for its submarine
warfare through the Persian gulf.
