YANKS AGAIN ON

With the American Army In Lor-
raine, Sunday, Nov. 17.-Early to-
morrow morning the American adj
vance toward the Rhine will be re-
sumed and another big step on the
road toward the heart of Germany
will be taken. Today's advance went
without hitch.
The roads over which the Ameri-
cans marched were frozen the great
er part OF the day. This made the
walking bad but not nearly so as it
was in the recent past when mud
and wire had to be negotiated. The
troops have moved out Of a shell
torn area where the roads have been
hastily and temporarily repaired. !.
It is relief to the men because be-
hind the German lines the roads are
in excellent condition.
Villages and towns along the route
looked peaceful. except Tor some
here and there which had been scar
red eby explosions of aerial bombs,
These were the onl v traces OF war
fare. A deep silence broods over
this area for the people were nearly
moved out by the Germans. In sone
cases less than fifty persons remain-
ed in a village.
The people generally were quite
timid when the Americans made
their appearance. They remained in
their houses until assured that the
Americans were not another form Of
enemy. The Germans had told them
that this would be the case. Once
assured that the Aericang were
friends, the welcome given by the
villagers was something hysteFfcal

The Refuge

Religion is democratic refuge.
The democracy of faith transcends
all democracies of the imagination.
Nature and art can in no wise be
compared to it, for from their conso-
lations large groups of human be-
ings are automatically excluded by
some condition of servitude.
Philosophers have had much to
say of inner citadels, from which the
outward order could TRANQUILITY be
surveyed. Thought, says one of them,
has set us free from the tyranny of
outside forces, free even from the
petty planet on which our bodies i'm
potently crawl But the thought of
the philosopher is no more a refuge
for the illiterate than song is for the
deaf, or Nature for miners sunk in
the bowels of the earth.
You can't buy God" my char
woman said to me as she scrubbed
my floor. No not with money, nor
with education, nor with talent, nor
with opportunity. A refuge wide
enough to receive the poilu with the
general, the child with the philos-
opher, the dull with the gifted. is
the only refuge wide enough to salts
fy my soul, to give me beauty for
ashes, the oil of Joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit
of heaviness.-Anne c. l.. Allinson in
Atlantic Monthly.

NpLD Era For Health Dept.
[Philadelphia Public Ledger

philadelphia Public Ledger.l
The Commonwealth can we'll con-
graduate itself if, as now seems
highly probable, DR.. Edward Martin
becomes the second Commissioner of
Health of Pennsylvania. AS all
those who are familiar with the sit
uation know, the department is in a
state of high efficiency, the result OF
the untiring and unselfsh labors of
DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, who impressed
his personality on every phase of the
work, since the necessities of or
ganization forced him to those con-
tinuing sacrifices of time and atten-
ton which most executives aim to
escape. But through these very
pioneer activities of the specialist,
who in one sense created the depart
ment, the man selected by Governor
Sproul will benefit hugely. Indeed,
he will come into the work unham-
pered, as it were, by any necessity
of looking into minor details, since
what will be required of him will be
that broad expert knowledge and
human experience that will meet the
demands of what all recognize in a
new era for the health department
III eLS NGil eiS AiA ONliIi SA1eOos
For one thing, the great commun-
ity needs looking to the increase of
resistance through better housing,
up-to-date sewage and the preven-
tion of all those diseases that are
preventable and yet too often as
sumo an epidemic character, and
which will demand more than ever
a closer touch between the depart
ment and the public and communal
relationships of individuals. 1t is a
unique opportunity, therefore, that
invites Doctor Martin; and his we'll
known abilities, his energy and his
professional devotion, in addition to
his executive experiences in control
of the health of the greatest city in
the state, should all stand him in
good stead. Should he accept the
commissionership, a career of great
usefulness to the state is opened up.
That the service he will render Will
be equal to the opportunities Will be
the common belief of all those IA
miliar with his public record and his
professional status.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Praise Harrisburg

To the Editor of the TeIcgrdPh:
The time has come when the men
that wear the uniforms of Uncle
Sam are beginning to return to
their homes. and when they return
to their homes they will convey with
them the idea and impressions OF
the places where they have been.
We, as a body, wish to say, that
when we go home we are going to
be eternal boosters for Harrisburg.
We came to Harrisburg with the
idea that it being a capital city would
be cold blooded, conceited, and more
interested in money and ancestors
than in men. But our five months
stay in Harrisburg has convinced us
that we were under the wrong I'M
pressions. Never have we seen
more enthusiastically patriotic town
in our lives. OF course, we, the sail
ors, noticed the activities devoted to
our entertainment most.
The consideration, friendship and
respect that our uniforms Invariably
rate, has given us a greater respect
for them ourselves, and the way peo-
pie of all classes have opened their
hearts and homes to us has trans
ferred Harrisburg from a mere name
or place on the map to place in
our hearts we shall never forget.
We could use several columns in
mentioning the many good Things
we like about Harrisburg, but we
shall reserve that for home con-
sumption. 1t is almost home here,
and the best that we can hope for
is that we have made good with
Harrisburg as it has made good
with us.

A STATE PROBLEM

TN the consideration of bills hav-
ing for their object the rehabili-
- tation and re-education of in
capacitated soldiers, it is hoped
Congress will give due thought to
the eventual transformation of
whatever machinery is devised for
the purpose to the uses of the in
jured industrial worker. This will
not be so easy as it may at first
glance appear, for while the re-
Mobilization of the soldier is dis
tinctly the nations problem, the re-
education of the injured workman
is a matter for the individual States.
Some way should be found to en-
able the States to avail themselves
of the nations schools after the SOL
diers all have been cared for. Other
wise a highly useful agency will have
been lost But in doing so due con-
sideration must be given to thought
of State control. Pennsylvania, for
example, is well able to look after
it's own people, once the way is
shown, but would be very glad to
avail itself of the Federal govern
ment's knowledge and experience.
once the soldier no longer requires
them.

Inside a Tank
Harold A. Littledale in the Atlantic Monthly.

TN action in a tank, heat is one of
the great hardships, for it is so
eXhausting that themen frequent
ly have to buck themselves up with
restoratives, carried in the tanks
medicine bag. Usually, in the ordi-
nary course of travel, or going up,
men walk outside the tank, or ride
on top, the driver alone being in
side; but in action all have to be in
side, and the tank is shut up so that
IN broad daylight it is quite dark
within.
Observation for the driver and
gunners is made possible by look
out ports, in which eight tiny holes
(the size of pinheads) are drilled.
Strangely enough, observation is
not SO difficult as might be imagin-
ed. 1t is above these holes that
the only padding in the tank is
placed' for, contrary to the general
impression, tanks are not padded
inside, nor are men strapped into
seats. The gunners for the most
part standi the two men forward
are seated, and when the driver is
about to take a severe drop or in
cline, he shouts back through the
speaking tube and the men hang
on, bracing themselves against the
engine or the guns.
The padding over the lookout
holes consists of a headrest against
winch one presses the forehead in
order to bring the eyes as close to
the hoies as possible. These look
out holes superseded periscopic
prlsms, which proved unsatisfac-
tory. The prisms were made of
glass about two inches thick: but
bullets striking this glass, while not
breaking 1t, starred it so that obser
walton became difficult, if not quite
impossible. To meet this a steel
reflector was tried out, but did not

No Quick Cure

(From the Kansas City Times)
OF course, the healing peace"
about which so many honeyed
words are now being spoken and
written, is the sort of peace every
body wants, but it is not to be had
by the hasty process of sewing up
the worlds wounds and spreading
salve on them. Wounds must be
cleansed before being closed, and
it is also we'll to make sure that all
the surgical instruments, sponges,
ETC., have been removed before the
sewing up is proceeded with.
The congress of Versailles prob
ably will not be hurried into doing
n botch job by the clamors of the
"healers." The world is in no such
great rush to have Germany fall on
it's neck and sob out the story of it's
life. The world can wait for that
thrill long time without suffering
from heart yearning. 1t will ex-
anime this open wound called Ger
many with sufficient care before
it applies any healing lotion.
So far as practical observations
can judge Germany needs consider
able swabbing out before the band
ages are put on. We imagine the
congress of Versailles will attend to
this very thoroughly despite the
screams of the patient and the snuff
fies of the "healers."

Our Soldiers "Knightly"

(From speech by Otto H. Kahn at U.
w. w. campaign meeting, Bos-
ton, November 13. Published in
Current Opinion.)
AS 1 observed our army "over
there" I felt that in them, in the
mass of them, representing as they
do all America, there had returned
the spirit of knighthood. 1 meas
ure my words. l am not exagger-
ating. If / had to find one single
word with which to characterize
our boys, l should select the adject-
i've "knightly."
A French officer who commanded
a body of French troops fighting
fiercely and almost hopelessly in
Belleau Wood near Chateau Thier-
ry (since then officially designated
by the French as the Wood of the
Marne Brldge), told me that when
they had arrived almost at the point
of total exhaustion, on the 4th or
5th of June, suddenly the Ameri-
cans appeared rushing to the res
cue. One of their officers hurried
up to him, saluted and said in ex-
ecrably pronounced French just six
words: "Vous- fatigues, vous -
patir, notre job" you tired, YOU
get away; our job"
And right nobly did they do their
job. Need 1 ask whether we shall
do ours?
