LET THE SOLDIERS VOTE
Reviews War Weekly

IN. A. Reviews War Weekly
An announcement is made which
should be incredible and impossible
| 1t is that something like a million
and a half citizens of the United
States are to be disfranchised this
year. This is not because of any
fault of theirs, but rather because
of "a great virtue. 1t is not because
they are unworthy to exercise the
franchise, but because they are, If
possible, more worthy of it than
their fellows.
No provision, we are told, has
been made or will be made for the
casting and canvassing of votes by
our soldiers in France and elsewhere
on the battlefront. Even in the
camps and cantonments here, the
soldiers who have not yet gone
abroad will be largely though not
entirely disfranchised. But over

but universal. The soldier who vol

be not only a gross injustice to the
very men to whom we most impera-
lively owe not merely justice but all
possible generosity and considera-
| ton, but it would be potential and
very serious detriment to the nation
itself and to the cause of the great
| war. 1t must be remembered that
100000 are q considerable part OF
our total electorate. They are many
more than the average majority
polled by either party in national
campaign. .H
Now we are quite Indifferent to
the effect which such wholesale dis
reimbursement might have upon the
fortunes of either the Democratic or
the Republican party. AS a matter
of fact it would have little or no
relative effect. since each party
would lose proportionately the same.
But we do care a great deal about
the effect which it would almost GER
tainly have upon the loyal vote as
distinguished from the disloyal.
Bear in mind that while some of its
honest and patriotic leaders have

ordinary efforts to elect as many
Representatives as possible on its in
famous and reasonable st. Louis
platform.
The refusal of the Democratic Ma
tional Chairman to respond to the
overtures of the Republican National
Chairman for a fusion of loyal
against disloyal forces. and the
strange delay of the President to
recommend such a course, will pro-
duce, in almost every Congressional
district, a contest between Demo
cratic and Republican candidates,
Assuming both to be loyal, the loyal
vote will be divided, while the
disloyal vote will be united upon
a third candidate. There is only too
much reason to fear that in such cir
cumstances. and with the loyal vote
diminished by the absence and dis
franchisement of the soldiers. a
number of the disloyal candidates
will win.

AS TO HOUSING

THE attention of those who have
| been belittling the efforts of this
newspaper TO focus the attention of
the public upon the necessity of i'm
proving the housing conditions in
Harrisburg is directed to the gov
ernment order, issued yesterday.
barring sixty towns and cities of the
United States from further partici-
patton in war orders, due to lack of
houses. Fortunately Harrisburg was
not on the list. How long We shall
be so fortunate can be only con-
jectured. We cannot hide our hous-
ing faults under a bushel They
shine at least as far as Washington
and already have lost for us an in
dustry that would have given en-
ployment TO 5000 workmen. The
government is keeping a very watch
full eye on conditions in munition
centers and does not mean to COM
plicate the already hazardous labor
situation by placing contracts in
communities that do not offer the
working population decent abiding
places.
We must get our program under
way, and quickly, if we are TO keep
ourselves clear of the misfortune
that has befallen other backward
manufacturing centers. For the
Chamber of Commerce. it may be
said that the vacation season and
inability to procure the services of
a housing expert during August have
delayed that organizations program,
but the time is now at hand when
vigorous and concerted action by
all interested must be taken.
Government aid has been sug-
gested and there is the hope that it
may be extended. But the govern
ment will do nothing for any city
until that city has shown the need.
Expert opinion and findings as to
actual conditions are required by
the Housing Bureau, together with
suggested plan of treatment. That
done the government in many cases
has voted from a half million to a
million dollars for housing develop
ments in cities situated as Harris
burg is, but it is for us to take the
first step.
City Council will take up shortly.
through Health Officer Raunick and
City Solicitor Fox, the model hous-
ing ordinance urged by the State
Bureau of Housing, and this is a
good move. as it is designed to force
the repair and rehabilitation of many
dwellings that have long since passed
the point where they are fit for
human habitation, but which car
penters, plasterers, painters and
plumbers might restore, Every step
toward betterment is in the right
direction, but we must step lively and
continuously.

was precisely in the year 1859 that
William the Damned was born.
Now take the year 1859 and add
to it 55 years and we get 1914, and
this should be another important
year in the Damned's life. Which,
as a matter of fact. 1t was, for it
was in that year that he began his
var of worldwide brisandage, the
wholesale slaughter being still in
full swing after rour such years of
horror as, the civilized world in all
its history has never known before
But his fate number is swiftly
working out to the third and final
event in his biography. We now turn
TO the sum total of the number of
weeks we get by 6 X 6 6, and that
sum total is PIG weeks. or years
and months. Add these years and
i'months to 1914 and we get 1918.
This present year of 1918, therefore,
is to see the third in the triad of
momentous events in William the
Damned's life. And what is that
third and last event to be? Obvi-
| ously, the end of his manifestation"
concurrently with the end of the
war and with his own death. But
how do we know that it is in the
month of September of this year,
1918, that the world is to be plunged
into the gloom of an irreparable loss
by william the Damned's demise?
The answer to this involves an
| other plunge into the mathematics
of mysticism. How old was the
Damned on the year of his mani
festation"-1914? Now he was born
on the. twenty-ninth day of Janu-
airy, 1859. Hence on the twenty
ninth of January, 1914, he was 55
years old. Just a little over five
months following this, his fifty-fifth
| birthday, on the 5th day of July,
| 1914, at that secret Potsdam confer
ence, he reached the decision to
launch this frightful war; The war
was his manifestation" The
Damned, then, was 55 years and 5
months old at the time of his .mani-
| festation.' How long viii this
| manifestation" last? The answer
is given by taking in terms
| of weeks. That is 216 weeks, or
years and months. Dating, then,
| from the Potsdam conference of
/ July 5, 1914, the war will end at
the close of years and months.
In other words, in September. 1918.
And with the close of the war will
! come the close of the Damned s
manifestation" and the close of his
| life. q. h. ID.

Carnegie'S Cash Is Lou

tB. C. Forbes in Wall Street Journall
The most notable sentence An
drew Carnegie ever wrote. one that,
slightly twisted has actually played
part in shaping the course and
conduct of numbers of multi-mil-
lionaires, was this: THE man who
dies rich dies disgraced." What Mr..
Carnegie actually did write was:
The day is not far distant when the
man who dies leaving behind him
millions of available wealth, which
were free for him to administer dur
ing life, will pass away 'unwept, un-
honored and unsung,' no matter to
what use he leaves the dross which
he cannot take with him. OF such
as these the public verdict will then
be: The man who dies thus rich
dies disgraced.'
| hear that there is no danger of
Mr.. Carnegie dying disgracefully
rich; indeed, it is gossiped that he
borrowed money from one of his old
boys" now immensely wealthy, to
pay his taxes this year! 1t Is said
that he has outlived the calculations
he made. and that his liquid re-
sources now are limited. Certainly
one never reads nowadays of any
huge gifts being made by Mr.. Car
negie. He once declared: Il would
as soon leave to my son curse as
the almighty dollar" He has no
son, only one daughter.
Long ago he wrote an epitaph for
his tombstone. 1t reads: Here lies
one who knew how to get around
him men who were cleverer than
himself" 1t contains more truth
than do most epitaphs!

THE CZECHO-SLOVAKS

n ECOGN1TION by President Will
n, son of the Czecho- -Slovaks is
without precedent in the an
nails OF the nation. but it was a very
proper step taken at psychologically
the right moment For the first time
in history we have recognized a new
government without definite capitol,
governmental system or even fixed
place on the map. All that must
come later. The Czecho-Slovaks by
their own initiative, earnestne.s Of
purpose under great difficulties and
strength of character ha e raised
themselves during the war from an
unwilling unit in the military sys-
tenn of the Central Powers until they
have become a large and growing
factor in the war on the side of the
Allies.
When Italy swept forward OIL a
wide front in the first years of the
war thousands of o-Slovaks,
unwilling soldiers in the Austrian
armies, threw down their arms and
became prisoners. The same thing
happened on an even larger scale
when Brusiloff and his victorious
Russians were overrunning the East
the year before the revolution. These
prisoners were transferred to France
from Italy and TO Siberia from Rus
sia. There they have arisen to mill
tary power as regiments on the
Western front under allied COM
mand and they have seized sufficient
power in Siberia to prevent that
country from falling into the hands
of Bolsheviki leaders and are now
cooperating with British, Japanese
and Americans in reconstitutins
what is destined to become a very
formidable eastern front
They are a wonderfully vigorous
people, who have been striving for
many years to free themselves from
the Austrian yoke. Their recognition
by tie United States government as
sures for them a place at the peace
table and unquestiona bly, means that
the Dual Monarchy will lose those
states in which Czecho-S -Slovak influ-
ence rredominates.

n FRENCH writer in the Mer-
~ cure de France has got William
the Damned's number. 1t is
666. and it means that Hun defeat
and the Damned Ones death are
both due in this coming month of
September. 1t is from the Book of
Revelation that the inspiration of a
good many prophecies comes, and
this one is no exception. The French
writer calls attention to Revelation
xiii, Is, which reads:
Here is wisdom. Let him that
understandeth count the number of
the beast: for it is the number of a
man; and his number is Six hundred
three-score and six"
So there we have the starting
point. That William the Damned
is William the Beast is automatic.
Likewise beyond dispute he is the
man designated by st. John as the
Antichrist, as the one who in future
years was to carry on a particularly
frightful war against the Church of
Christ-that is, against Christian
civilization. And 666 are the figures
which in the year 10 A. D. the Well
Beloved Disciple st. John, while an
exile on the island of Patmos. picked
out as constituting the Antichrists,
that is William the Damned's, num-
ber-his Fate number.
Subjecting this number to the
arithmetical operations generally
employed to obtain, by the product
of the figures. solutions bearing on
the notable events in the life of a
parsonage" we find that this num-
bOr. being made up of three figures,
Civ S US three elements-a number
of years. a number of months, and
q number of weeks. 1t also gives
us three solutions relative to, first,
the birth year of the parsonage;
second, the year of his manifesto
tion," and, third, the year and the
date of the end of that manifesto
tion," or, in other words of the per-
sonage's death.
Adding 6 plus s plus 6 we get Is,
and Is stands for centuries-180O
to wit. Reading 666 in months, we
have 666 months or 55 years and 3
months. Multiplying, for weeks, we
get Y equals 216 weeks, or
years and 2 months.
This gives us 1859 as the total
number of years, and 1859 therefore
ought to be an important year in
the biography of the parsonage in
question. And it happens that il

A NAVIGABLE RIVER

IT'S natural that Major Gray's be-
lief in the possibility of making
= the Susquehanna river navigable
should arouse wide interest in Har-
risburg. The future of the city lies
along the lines of transportation.
Whatever industries we have or
may have in the future have come
to us by reason of our excellent rail-
road facilities. If we add to these a
waterway to the ocean deep enough
to accommodate large vessels we
shall make of Harrisburg and vicin-
ity an inland city that for popula-
tion and importance as a trade CEN
ter will equal any other in the whole
country.
Men have seen this from the ear
liest days of the city. Theold time
lark" and raft were forerunners OF
the larger boats that we should have
had long ago but for the influence

of the railroads against water ways
and the immense expenditures re-
quired to bring the contemplated
river improvement to completion. But
when this war is at an end We shall
have new ideas as to what the coun-
try can do in the way of public
works. The benefits to be attained,
and not the initial Investment. will
be tho basis for reckoning.
Major Gray says that when the
war is over and he returns to private
life he will come back to Harrisburg
to urge the improvement which. as
an engineer. he has decided can be
made at a not unreasonable cost.
The people of Harrisburg will be
pleased to give him hearty cooper
alton.
