Indignation has followed, the climax
of which was the fiery speech of
Philip Sche'dman on Saturday. in
which that leader of democratic
thought in Germany warned the mill
itary chieftslins that they must be
prepared to make a satisfactory
peace with Russia or be hurled
from power4'
That is bold talk in Berlin, these
days, and 1t trequired a bold man to
utter them. Scheidman has been
outspoken tobSthe point of revolution,
almost for many years, but to speak
as he just has indicates nothing less
than wave sof popular feeling which
defies even the autocratic ruling
powers of the .empire to deal with
Scheidman as they now no doubt
desire.
Very likely after raging through
the land for "a flew days or weeks,
the rebellious' flames will die down
as they have before. We must not
hope for Immediate revolution in
Germany. Butt gradually the scales
are being removed from German
eyes. Slowly Germans are coming
to see that their greatest enemy is
within rather than without. When
this knowledge has had time to fer
ment and foment, when another Ger
man offensive has been tried and
has failed, when America begins to
make her weight felt, then and only
then may wet1ook for successful
revolt within the German empire.
But then,it may be too late. A
death-bed repentance is not always
convincing and it will be difficult to
restrain a victorious and vengeful
allied army, visioning the outrages
of the murderous Hun in France and
Belgium, with victory in its grasp
and ION to Berlin" for it's battle cry.
Now is the accepted time, but Ger
man liberalsi are not strong enough
vet I'd take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.

CHANGE FOR MAYOR

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Will you kindly print in the col
umns of your valuable paper the fol-
lowing comment on the exceptionally
good work that our Honorable
Mayor is doing in ridding the city
of the worst type of criminals, the
tinhorn gambler, who preys upon the
young men and married men with
families, much to the distress of
these families? Too much praise
cannot be given our worthy chief
executive for the stand he is TAX
ing in this crusade, for he has done
an endless amount of good to date.
Heretofore these places of easy liv-
ing and 1-wont-work" class of
beasts have had full sway within
our fair city, unmolested by those in
power to make them answer to the
courts for their idleness and crime.
Surely, Mayor Keister with the able
assistance of Detective Shuler has
given this class of criminals to un-
derstand that he means business and
does not intend to show any mercy
to them and especially to the re

SAVE FOOD

RESIDENT WILSON and Mr..
! Hoover have joined in asking
the American people TO save wheat.
and meat and sugar.
There is but one thing for the
American people to doIin those cir
cumstances, and that'is to support
the President and the.food controller
to the utmost limits of their ability
We are not asked to go hungry
We are not even requested to eat
less in quantity than usual. All that
is desired of US, lis that we eat less
wheat, sless meat and less sugar.
That may be anIinconvenience, but
it cannot by any possible interpre-
tation be regarded as a hardship. 1t
is not to be compared with going
deep down into, our pockets for Lib
erty Bonds, or Y. M. C. A. funds, or
Red Cross contributions, or knights
of Columbus subscriptions, or for
contributions to any of the other
hundred and one war activities which
we must finance.
Eat little less white bread, that
the French and the English may
have enough to stave off starvation.
Eat trifie less meat, that our SOL
diers in the trenches may be prop
erIy fed. Eat a spoonful less sugar
each day, that our Allies may have
Just a little for their share Thus
we will show our will to sacrifice.
Thus we will display our patriotism.
-s,asssr
Thus we will help win the war.
1t is not that there is a shortage
of food in America. We have enough
and to spare. But we must keep the
other nations going as we'll We
must save now in order that we shall
not go hungry before the next crops
are harvested. We must save now
because, for all we know, the next
crops may be failure.
1t is not a question of whether or
not we will do it. 1t is all a matter
of doing it voluntarily as patriots, or
under compulsion at the hands OF
the Government. 1t would be shame
full indeed, If the President and Mr..
Hoover were compelled to resort to
force.

No one needs to worry seriously
about the spread of extreme radi-
calism in this country. Socialistic
measures do no harm If administer
ed by men of the able type; men
like McAdoo, rather than by such
men as Haywood and Debs, whom
the extremists wish to put in charge.
1t is the lack of school education, in
every country where extreme rad
iCalism is a menace, that gives the
cunning and the sentimental power
to upset the orderly course of life.
No considerable body of illiterates
exists here and the measures taken
for the national defense will con-
tinue to be administered wholly by
level headed people. = Franklin

Pennsylvania under the supervision

third of the people of Pennsylvania

Relative to Saturdays conferences
Of Republican leaders in Philadel-
phia Saturday, the philadelphia
Press says:
Upstate political leaders descend
ed upon Philadelphia in force and
before evening had come the cause
of harmony between the local Pen,
rose and Ware factions had been put
under way by positive action. as fore
cast and along the lines indicated,
namely, that the Wares were to be
assured a 'hands-off policy in the
city on the part of Senator Penrose,
and that, in view of this recogni-
ton, which would carry with it the
right to name one congressman-at-
large on the state ticket, the Wares
would agree to support the organi-
zation ticket headed by Senator
Sproul for governor.
Most of the conferences were held
in Senator Penrose's office and the
Bellevue-Stratford. In the latter
place Senator Ware talked for nearly
an hour with Senator Crow, chair
man of the Republican state COM
mittee, who had brought to Philadel-
phia the message that upstate party
leaders insisted upon the two fac
tions in Philadelphia making up
their differences in the interest of
presenting a united front against
the Democrats.
Among those who participated in.
the various conferences, in addition
to Senators Penrose, Ware and Crow,
were Auditor General Snyder. of
Pottsville; W. Harry Baker, of Har-
rlsburg. secretary of the state com
mittee; William P. Gallagher, of |
Wilkes-Barre, clerk of the Senate, |
ana Representative James f. Wood
ward, of McKeesport, candidate for
secretary of internal affairs, who
will in all probability not be opposed
oS the Wares, although he is q Pen
rose nominee.
Among all these men of both
SIDES the talk was of harmony be-
tween the two factions and how it
could be brought about. When the
upstate men left they took with
5hem assurances that the principle
Ot harmony had been agreed upon,
H1th only the details left to be work
ed out. 1t is regarded as entirely
Improbable that in working out these
letails any insurmountabIe obstacles
viii be encountered"

! Match Box Is Tricky.

Do this trick before mirror and
you will actually surprise yourself. Al
though exceedingly simple, it is very
.perplexing to the onlooker. Take an
ordinary match box and lay it fiat on
the back of your hand. At your COM
mand it will "sit up" or 'lie down..
Moreover, it will accomplish. the task
slowly or rapidly at yonr own will.
No threads, wires, wax or weights are
used. Nothing but yolv hand and the
match box. Try it as you read this:
When placing the box on the back
of your hand have the drawer open
just the slightest bit. Push it togeth-
er with the fingers Of the. hand that
is placing the box. This will cause
a bit of the loose skin to catch in. The
box will lie perfectly fiat until you
push your closed-up fingers into. your
palm. The slightest strain will tight
en- the skin and the little box full Of
matches will gradually rise up in the
most amusing manner. {
To have it "lie down." merely relax
the pressure. AS you do this not a
muscle or vein will move. Only the
slight ''pinch feeling" of the skin will
keep you from fooling yourself. -

parsley chives and various herbs for
seasoning may be grown. A small bit
of the green but an inch or two in

well with other vegetables. The snap
