THE DAYS OF GIVING

[From the Ohio State Journal
There is a great duty laid upon
the people of this country now that
the war is closing its battles and
slaughter. There is want in all lands,
and 1t is simply inhuman to let that
want go on without making great
efforts TO to relieve and remove it.
The same high ideals that brought
us into the struggle must be main
tanned until all suffering peoples may
see some way to maintain them
selves. The grandeur of this war
does not consist more in killing men
than in saving them. Now comes the
time to save them. There is no better
way for a nation to help itself than
by helping others. There are thou
sands and thousands in Europe and
Asia Minor who will starve and
freeze If the United States doesn't
help them. We cannot stop giving.
We must keep our war chest full and
overflowing. Our humanity organi-
cations must now be sustained. No
man has the right to get rich or
spend his money foolishly. America
may be through shooting, but the
war for humanity keeps up. Let us
hope this grand old United States
will stand the test as 1t has been
doing. The man who is not proud of
his country these days is traitor.

has never Jagged in doing Its part
and will not do so now.
The Federal government having
removed building and other restric-
tions since .the cessation of hostili-
ties, there promises to be a great
building and improvement era with
the beginning of the new year. AL
ready individuals and corporations
are preparing to launch building and
other enterprises which were sus-
pended during the war as a result
of Federal embargoes and restric-
tions. Thousands of men who have
been busy in war activities and
munition plants will me released
for the more constructive work OF
peace. Industrial forces which have
been more or less disorganized Will
be efficiently readjusted and 1t may
be expected that within the next
two or three months an approach TO
normal conditions will have been
restored.
Harrisburg is admirably situated
for big forward movement and it
is up to the individual, the municipal
and other leaders to pull together
with a view to the inevitable eX-
pansion that all have been confident
ly anticipating in this city and
throughout Central Pennsylvania

FALLEN GERMANY

[From the New York Times.1
The German people, headed by
their Kaiser and his associates in
autocracy, set forth gayly and con-
fidently four years ago to begin the
conquest of the world. Their conf
Gence never forsook them; they
never doubted of success, strange to
say, until about the middle of the
great retreat before Foch. At first
not even the retreat disturbed them.
for they believed it was for strategic
reasons; it is probable that the pos
sibility of defeat did not strike for
a month or more, and did not be-
come actual in their minds until
the beginning of the withdrawal
from Belgium.
How stunning, therefore, must be
the overwhelming disaster that has
befallen them. Generally the defeat
ed party sees defeat coming for a
long time and has a change to get
used the idea; but this defeat came
almost from a clear sky. They had
believed that the great rush of
March 21 was to give the finishing
touches to the war. 1t did, but in so
different a way from what they ex-
pected! This is the first war in
which United Germany has engaged
since it's creation, and the German
Empire then created is shattered
literally at a blow-the blow which
Foch struck on July Is.
BY their pride and confidence we
may measure their humiliation. But
yesteTda-' the word of Caesar might
have stood against the world" and
now Caesar is begging bread, and,
what is worse, begging 1t from those
who have conquered him. Foreign
armies are about to move upon the
Rhine, there to wait until he has
carried out the peace terms they will
impose upon him. Fest steht und
treu die Wacht, die Wacht am
Rhein"; but the new watch on the
Rhine will be a watch maintained
by the degenerate" French, the
"contemptible' British, and the
"dollar-chasing" Yankees.
Only last week they were still de-
stroying French cities, even up to the
very day OF the armistice; now they
discover that they were simply add
ing to Germany's bill with every
house they smashed. German prison
ers will rebuild the houses, stone on
stone, and Germany will pay for the
work. Piling up work for Germans
to do. pillng up marks for Germans
to pay. that was what they were DO
Ing when they fired those last shells
into Maubeuge, and what they had
been doing all through their retreat
and a year before they had to re-
treat

TIME FOR ACTION

IN HOSE who know him in this
vicinity. and most of us do,
are confident that Governor
elect Sproul will still further ce-
ment the pleasant relations which
exist between the people of the city
and the large official family on Capt.
toll Hill. There is also general conf
dence in the progressive policies of
the next Governor which give assur-
ance of his interest in the promo
ton of those improvement projects
that have been outlined and par
TALLY carried through Jointly by the
Commonwealth and the city au-
thorities.
Certain obligations rest upon the
municipal officials in peparing 10 go
along with the State in the improve
ment of the Capitol Park area.
These involve the widening of Third
and Walnut streets without delay,
the removal of unsightly overhead
poles and wires and the doing of
other things which are part of the
great central plan authorized by
the last Legislature and previous
sessions. OF course, the building of
Eaa monumental viaduct at State
street is a necessary feature of the
whole program and this project has
been so thoroughly discussed and
agreed upon that all that is neces-
sary is proper submission of the
proposition to the next Legislature
for approval. Governor Brumbaugh
will undoubtedly refer to this and
other matters carried forward dur
ing the present administration in his
final message, so that all transactions
may be effectively linked up in the
completion of the big undertaking.
But the city authorities should
not wait a day to put into force
and effect the matters and things
which are necessary to be done by
the municipality in order TO con-
form to the general plan. An i'm.
mediate conference should be held
|. by and between the Board of Pub.
lic Grounds and Buildings and the
ity officials, to the end that a har.
honious agreement may be reached

blunder, for had not Christ on CAL
vary proven its fallacy?
The land of the great Napoleon
should have reminded him also of
the terrible year 1892 and the fate
of Louis XVI, his Girondist minis
try and her tyrannical masters, but
the lesson evidently meant nothing
TO this puppet of power, so he and
those who aided him in misguiding
the destiny of the German States
must pay like penalty.
Woe unto them If the beasts turn
upon their drivers with all their nur-
tured ferociTy and efficiency, the re-
suit will outrival the French revo-
luton as the giant outrivals the
pygmy.
Already with the stink of out
ragged Belgium in their nostrils, the
human wolves are falling back to
their own borders a defeated horde
and the Imperial High Command
can see stalking behind the specter
of defeat, the still more terrible
specter of anarchy, else why should
they demand the privilege of pre-
senting the news of their defeat to
the people in their own way. Only
too well they realize the, snarling,
swapping pack driven home by the
relentless rush or the oncoming un-
conquerable force are disillusioned
as to their leaders divine connection
and are we'll aware of the consum-
mate hoax that has been perpe-
trated upon them.
The result is problematical, it is
true, yet as coming events cast their
shadows before them so do the ru-
mors, which persist in evading the
strict censorship of the German
Press, indicate that a terrible red
cloud hangs over her destiny.
A jealous God, terrible in his an
ger is about to visit vengeance upon
those who have blasphemed his
name and twisted his very laws to
suit their needs and devilish pur-
poses.
So beware Prussians, who have
taught your soldiers every unfair
and foul method of warfare. They
have learned to look on women as
does your brother, the Turk. You
have fostered lust in their hearts;
life to them means less than moth
ing. Again, say, Prussians be-
ware, for the reaping of the whirl-
wind is nigh at hand.

movement to put Senator Charles

be created on the Superior Court
bench when John w. Kephart goes
to the Supreme Court: IF Judge
Kephart takes his new seat January
8 Governor NJ. G.. Brum baugh could
appoint his successor before noon
January I, when the Legislature
convenes, and commission him to
serve until the end of the session
of the Senate. Mr.. Sproul will not
be inaugurated as governor until
January 21. Any appointment that
Governor Brumbaugh would make
after the assembling of the Senate
would have to be sent to that body
for continuation. Should Judge
kephart decide to delay taking the
oath of office as a justice of the Su-
preme Court and the forwarding of
his resignation from the other
branch until after January Z the
Senate would be in a position, if 1t
desired, to block any superior Court
appointment the present executive
might make"

ASIA MINOR
[From the n. Y. TimesJ

r TOHl lHS N. L. llleSJ
The Turk has had to resign any
right to say what shall be done with
his empire This is the effect, If not
the the explicit declaration, of the
trims of tile armistice; and a great
responsibility is laid on the Christ
ian Powers whose Incidence or riv-
Aries have so often prolonged the
life of a Power which has no place
in the modern world. The opinion
seems to be widespread that for
some reason or other there is still
to be a Turkish Empire in Asia
Minor. 1t is hard to see any excuse
for such an arrangement except
mere reluctance to put an end to
an ancient state, and this sentimen
should hardly have much weight in
q time such Gs this, when more an
cient and slightly more respectable
burgs, are disappearing overnight.
For the Turk has proved in five
Powers, such as that of the Haps-
hundred years of experience that lie
has no capacity for gogvernment. 1t
would be a scandal to permit him
to continue TO rule over other races
and If elf-determination Is invoked
in support of leaving residual
Turkish Empire, it may be observed
that he has shown no capacity to
rule himself. HHiHs excellences
were military, and only military; and
even in this field the march of pro-
gress has left him behind. Surely
if Albania, for instance, must ac-
cept some sort of protectorate, it
greater freedom to the Turk.

The ChdStiSement of Germany

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
On every hand we hear the same
question repeated: How can Ger
many be adequately punished for
her four years reign of bestiality,
running the gamut of murder, rap
inc, arson, pillage and plunder; un-
til il would seem that all had over
looked the supreme fact that al
ready sentence had been passed
against her in that greatest of all
courts wherein the Omnipotent God
is both witness and judge.
Against the decision of the AL
mighty Jurist, earthly judgment
and human hands can be of no avail
and already we hear the murmur of
the coming of the storm presaging
the beginning of the end wherein
she shall drink of the bitterest of
all cups.
Apparently ironical fate has de-
cided that the same force that rails
ed her to such arrogant pre-emi-
nenoe shall destroy her. The Ger
man masters have builded better or
worse than they knew for their
teachings are now about to react
upon themselves.

Highway Improvements
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. ]

Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.1
The lesson of cooperation which
the American people learned dur
ing the stressful days that are now
happily gone will abide for long. AL
ready it is being put in practice. Let
us not again fall into the habit of
napping-of postponing improve
ments of obvious necessity beyond
the time when they can be dis
pensed with. Pennsylvania in the
past has been sadly remiss in the
matter of highway work. We can
thank the war for the victory which
we gained over ourselves last week
when popular approval was given to
the constitutional amendment au-
thorizing an issue of $50,000,000
bonds for road improvements. The
breakdown of the railroads at a
crucial time found us with a modern
auxiliary method of transportation
ready for use. The automobile truck
had been developed, providentially
it. seemed, for just such an emer-
gency as, arose last year. But the
people had not kept step and to q
degree were unTeauy TO take au-
vantage of the new instrumentality.
We had relatively few roads con-
structed for use of the great trucks
of this advanced day. 1t is useless
to lament public short-sightedness
five years ago when the people voted
down a roadbond issue amendment;
let us rejoice that, having become
wide awake to the lced Pennsyl-
yanians approved the amen1ment
this year. How soon it will be pos
sible to enter upon the great work of
construction cannot be predicted,
but within a relatively short time
money and men will be available.
Then the work should be pushed
with all possible expedition. Every
citizen of the state will share in
the benefits that will be derived.
Good highways through the SUI
burban and rural districts will not,
however, provide all that is needed
to enable the fullest employment of
automobiles in the growing trans
portation service of the country. The
cities must keep their streets in re-
pair and provide ample main arteries
of travel within their boundaries.
