British Army Headquarters, Aug.

German officials taken prisoner re-
Gently is in striking contrast with the
attitude Of the officers captured By
the British in their retreat last
spring. The German officer prison
ers were arrogant and meant to crush
the British to earth, but now they are
depressed and very anxious. They
appear very willing TO talk and the
tcno- Of their conversation may be
summed up as follows;
They say Germany entered the war
with enthusiasm bat this has long
since disappeared and the struggle
has now become an economic one
with Great Britain. They admit Ger

dition. both economically and from
the man-power point Of view and ask
whether Great Britain connot now
consider Germany sufficiently redue-
ed to be no longer a dangerous trade
rival or whether the allies intend Ia
crush her altogether. In the latter
case. they say Germany viii be forced
to fight TO the end. but they make
no effort to conceal their impression
Of what this means for the father
land.
They say they believe there is ev

and northern France and even nego

would assure the power and domin-
ance of the Prussian monster, no
matter what might happen to him in
the west. History, we must remind
the German Foreign Secretary, is
the worlds chief example of per-
petual motion. Brest-Litovsk was
but grotesque episode. The treat
les Germany has made with Russia
and with Rumania are not deter
minations. they are mere notes scrib-
bled upon the moving scroll.
A firmer hand and a truer, and
with mightier sanction, will soon
write the chapter of history which
will draw the boundaries within
which Germany and her allies will
nave to live, move, and have their
being, If they are to live at all. They
are not going to have an "inde-
pendent existence" in the sense that
a Hohenzollern or any other auto
crat will have the power to marshal
their forces for war upon peaceful
peoples, in the sense that they are
to be left free to seek power and
dominance through the subsection of
other nations, through the slavery of
men who have the right to be free.

ter and the Reichstag and all Ger

BRYAN AND BOOZE

In letter to the New York
Times, w. II. Anderson, State Super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League
in New York, says:
Augustus T. Hutchins in a let
ter in The Times INDUCES in certain
structures upon William J. Bryan
and his suggestion of tapering off on
the production of beer and wine.
THE Anti-Saloon League of New
York has previously repudiated Mr..
Bryan's leadership. l was person
ally present and heard this taper
ing-off suggestion of Mr.. Bryan's,
which was a decided shock to his
radical prohibition friends, who crit
icised what we in New York have
said about Mr.. Bryan's leadership
on the prohibition question.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Ran
dali, the only Prohibition Party rad
ical member of Congress, in Ian
guage which cannot be interpreted
any other way accuses Mr.. Byran of
collusion with the Democrats to defer
action on war prohibition until after
the election in the fall, 1t would
seem that our suggestion, for which
The Times, more in sorrow than
in anger" slapped us on the wrist,
to the effect hat Mr.. Bryan's prohi-
bition activities were not divorced
from partisan purposes, has been
amply justified by Mr.. Bryan's own
actions and utterances."

SEEING THE LIGHT
(From the Kansas City Star

lfrom the Kansas City Starr
What contrast between the dis
ilIusioned statement in the Frank
furter Zeitung, quoted from WASH
ington this morning, and the state
ments in the German newspapers at
the beginning of the war. Then
they all accepted the governments S
assertion that the war was forced
on them by INSCRIPTIONS enemies.
Now the F'rankfurter Zeitung saws
that the kaiser had ''purposeiy hid
den from the people at the begin
ming the real aims of the war" and
that the kaiser has made war and
is continuing it for the sole purpose
of enforcing German supremacy on
the world"
This newspaper represents Central
and Southern German radicalism
and is strongly supported by the
Jewish tinanciers of Frankfort, Ber-
lin and other important cities. I'm
fortunately it's views are not those
of the dominant party.
But the fact that the Frankfurter
Zeitung dares to tell the real mean
ing and purpose of the war indicates
that a clearness of vision is spread
ing through Germany that may
slacken the effort to back the kais-
er's war conquest.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
GENESIS OF GERMAN EMPIRE
By Briggs
the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
1t seems that the German empire
was conceived in iniquity and born
in sin. How so? Well, the original
Prussian states of which there was a
large number made up simply a
confederation. This didn't suit Will
liam I or his Prime Minister Bis
mark. The rulers of the several
states objected to the formation of
an organic union. Bismark deter
mined to make an empire by force.
Manipulations of the most bastard
ly character were set in motion.
Three wars seemed to be necessary
to accomplish his purpose. The first
one was inaugurated against Dem
mark resulting in a victory and by
which he secured Schleswig and
Holstein. The second was with
Austria, another victory, resulting
in the capture of five states The
third was with France in 1870,
bringing in Alsace and Lorraine =
rich provinces. Whilst the Prus-
sian army occupied Paris, William
was proclaimed Emperor of Ger
many. All three are simple his
torical facts. When the emperor
died the present Kaiser came to the
throne. For some cause Bismark
was dismissed. The climax was
quickly reached, the putting of the
whole nation upon a military basis
the tyranny and brutality which
have marked the nation to this
hour. What did this student of
Frederick the Great and of Ma
poleon say to the army and navy
at his coronation? II swear to re-
member that the eyes of my ances-
tors look down on me from the 9TH
er world and that I shall one day
have to render an account to them
for the glory and honor of the
army" Who can sound the depth
of the perlidy and murderous regime
which has been and is now in pro-
cess. Surely the stars in their
courses have taken up action against
him and the end is drawing near.

FUEL ECONOMY

TN a recent summing up of the
fuel situation, Professor Garfield
reached the conclusion that
there will be a shortage next winter,
and his only remedy was stated in
the sentence, 1T is, therefore, ap-
parent that the full requiremnts of
coal cannot be filled. and the differ
ence must be made up by voluntary
or enforced curtailment in the use
Of fuel"
In view of the sad experience of
last winter, when the productive in
dustries of the country curtailed
their output after the fuel admins
tration had discouraged early buy
ing of coal, it is we'll that we look
further than the fuel administration
for advice for the coming season of
fuel consumption.
1t is not necessarily true that the
shortage of coal must be made up
by voluntary or enforced curtail-
ment in the use of fuel" While
there is a limit to the practicable
coal production, it is possible and
practicable to largely increase pro-
duction of coal substitutes. BY adapt
ing stoves and furnaces to the burn
ing of wood, and by largely increas-
ing the cutting of wood for fuel,
much coal can be saved without in
furious "curtailment in the use of
fuel"
1t is safe to say that waste of fuel
is now extremely small. Economy
should, of course, be practiced in
every respect. But instead of plan
ming a repetition of the coalless and
heatless and workless days of las
winter, the fuel administration
should be bending all it's energies
to the utmost production, distribu-
ton and storage not only of coal
but of cord wood. slabwood. corn
cobs and anything else that will
serve as a saver of coal.
We cannot speed up this war by
planning to curtail productive in.
dustry. Fortunately for Harrisburg
and this section the Susquehanna
river is great coal producer.

AN ECONOMIC PROBLEM

n NE of the largest employers of
labor in Dauphin county
makes the statement that his
chief difficulty now is the rum prob
lem. He declares that his working
forces are demoralized constantly
by King Alcohol; and that it is i'm
possible to keep them steadily at
work. Il shall not only vote for the
members of the Legislature who
favor the prohibition amendment,
but shall use my best endeavors
to get others to vote the same way"
was the conclusion of his conversa-
ton.
Yet we have important govern
ment officials insisting that it would
demoralize the working forces of
the government to deprive them of
booze. If they should declare that
it might interfere with some po-
litical plans. they would be coming
nearer the truth. Much is done in
the name of patriotism that is a re-
Election upon the good sense of the
people, but when it is contended that
efficiency will be destroyed by elimi-
nation of liquor, the height of
foolishness has been attained.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-06-27

a cheering note is added to the ef-
feet that there was male mayor
also and that the female mayor had
"a status quite independent of the
male head of the municipality.
Most of us believe in woman hav-
ing the right to vote, IL they so de-
sire. They do about everything else
men do these days. including going
to war and smoking cigarets, so
why not vote? But quite few of
us are still provincial enough to
shrink from the thought of women
as police captains, mayors, street
commissioners and heads of fire de-
partments. May be we'll get over
it in time, but at present 1t seems
that we are so "sot in our ways"
that we shall never be able to har-
monize such jobs with womanly
character. But even though we
should come to full understanding
of the wisdom of having women in
all the jobs we have been accustomed
to look upon as exclusively belong
ing to the masculine gender, how
would we be able ever to face our
friends as the husband of the
mayor of Harrisburg" for example?
Masculinity shudders at the thought.
The Hittites were a mighty people
in their day, but they went down be-
fore more powerful neighbors. May
be we have here hit upon one of the
reasons for their decadence. Stranger
theories have been advanced.

RUINS

They sat at supper in a shadowy
room,
But YOU" she said, you are an
artist! You
Deplore this tearing down of all our
dreams!
You know that War is shattering the
world,
And Beauty falls in ashes at our
feet"
He looked at her, full-blown and
glorious
With flaming eyes and tossed,
abundant hair.
How I abhor this hour" he softly
said.
II never thought the world could
come to this.
Yet always through the years, the
flame of War,
Like a long crimson serpent, has
crept and crept,
And poisoned all the beauty that we
built.
The Parthenon was stricken by the
blast
OF cruel cannon in disastrous days;
Yet in the moonlight 1t is wonder
full;
In strange way the mind can never
name.
And strong barbarian hordes tore
down that dream,
The Colosseum; and manly Romans
wept.
Yet it is lovelier on soft Summer
nights
Than ever it must have been in the
young years.
And Rheims - it shall be doubly
beautiful
With a new meaning through the
centuries,
flushed with it's memories of this
dark hour"
Her face grew grave. you dare to
tell me thisl-
You say ruin is more wonderful
Than the pure dream the architect
once dreamed?"
"I cannot answer. But one thing I
know;
Men rush across the seas to catch
one glimpse
OF fallen fanes and tottering coll
umns. Yes,
They fare through desolate places
that their eyes
MAY rest at last on crumbling mar
BILE. See!
Those men and women rise - and
we must rise
To pay our tribute to that noble
man
Who has come back. ruin from the
War"
She turned. There was a soldier at
the door;
And one sleeve of his uniform hung
limp,
And there were many scars upon
his cheeks.
"A ruin!" the artist whispered. yet
he seems
The only whole and perfect man I
know!"

Outlook.
