TOWN BUREAUS MERGE

A merger of the American City
Bureau and Town Development Com
pany, the oldest and largest cam
paign organization in the United
States, became effective August 1.
Announcement of the merger over
the signatures of Harold S. Butten-
helm and Will L. Finch, the presi-
dents of the two organizations, was
received to-day from New York,
where they are both located, by the
local Chamber of Commerce. The
combined organization will be known
as the American City Bureau, and
VIII have its main offices in the Trib-
une building, New York.
Town Development Company, the
older of the two organizations, was
formed seven years ago, and was the
pioneer advocate of intensive cam
paigns for enlarging the membership
and broadening the scope of COM
mercial organizations. One of its
earliest and most notable achieve
ments was a campaign for the Mer-
chants Association of New York,
which increased the income of that
organization from $65, 900 a year to
S175,O0O; and in a second campaign
three years later, the annual income
was further increased to $275,O00.
More than eighty cities have been
served by the company in the course
OF its seven years of operation. Mr..
Finch conducted a campaign for the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
two years ago.

MORE GERMAN LIES

IN HE August 1st proclamation of
Kaiser Wilhelm to the de-
luded people of Germany is
another masterpiece of falsehood
and balderdash. There IS no word
of truth in it and the whole thing
is a tissue of Misrepresentation and
insincerity.
American armies and numerical
superiority do not frighten u.s." says
the Kaiser. In this sentence we have
the reason for the proclamation. 1t
is Wilhelm's first acknowledgment
that America is really a great fac
tor in the war and that the prepon-
derance of numbers is gradually
swinging to the allies.
Don't be afraid; I'm not" he
tells his fast wavering subjects, but
he produces no convincing argu-
ments to bolster up the lie. With his
armies being swept back in decisive
defeat over a wide front and the
victorious Americans sweeping for
ward at every point of contact he
cries out in desperate effort to still
the rising tide of dissatisfaction at
home, Don't be scared; see how
brave am" the while he is trem-
bling in his boots and sweating

Compulsory Military Training
[Philadelphia Inquirerl

Philadelphia, Inquirer1
Representative Brady, of this city,
who made a good fight for a COM
pulsory military training bill in the
last session of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature, has drawn up a new bill
on similar lines which he proposes
to introduce at the next session, and
he asks for the support of all citi-
zens who are interested in this most
vital subject.
The new measure covers all
schools in the Commonwealth
lie. private and parochial-and pro-
vides that every male student over
the age of IL shall undergo military
instruction and training for at least
one half day each week. The only
exception is to those whose religious
tenets forbid them to engage in war.
The training is to be under the su-
pervision of a state military board,
which is empowered to arrange for
summer encampments of one week.
the expense of which is to be borne
by the state. Thus. between the
regular weekly instruction and the
annual encampment the boys are
expected to get a knowledge of mill
tary tactics somewhat similar to that
given under the old National Guard
system.
Mr.. Brady is to be commended for
making an issue of this matter at
this time. and if it is properly pre-
sented in the various legislative dis
tricts of the state there is no doubt
that IT will receive sufficient sup
port to win a majority of the MEM
bers to this bill or to some similar
measure at the next session of the
Legislature. There has been a
wide spread demand for compulsory
military training in the schools for
a long time. but heretofore attempts
to introduce such instruction have
been defeated by the professional
pacifists and those who have argued,
like the unlamented William Jen-
nings Bryan, that in times of war
millions of farmers would grab their
pitchforks and rout the enemy. It
happens, however. that war is not
waged in that manner in these days.
1t has become an exact science al
most and requires special training
both of the mind and the body.

WHITE LILIES OF FRANCE

Lilies of France. in your brave ar
ray,
in serried ranks to-day,
Lift high your heads and fervently
pray
White lilies of France.
Send grateful thanks, like an incense
sweet,
Up to the heaven set Mercy Seat,
That the hearts of your people,
though crushed. still beat
White lilies of France.
Be we not bowed with your .strfck-
en- land,
Be ye not crushed by the ruthless
hand
OF the hostile Hun and his british
band
White lilies of France.
Fling wide your glory unsmirched by
slime,
OF glad rebirth. all in Gods good
AS never before play your panto-
mime
White lilies of France.
STEPPED are your roots in the blood
that came
From the hearts of martyrs of noble
fame;
Turn in their honor to scarlet
flame
White lilies of France.
Burn ye like torches raised up on
high
To the star-gemmed altar of Gods
clean sky,
Burn to their glory and never die!
White lilies of France.

blood at every pore. He is like a
small boy in a graveyard at mid
night whistling to prove to his COM
panions that he is not frightened.
No better evidence that the All
lies have the advantage in the pres
ent fighting could be asked than
this latest wall of the Kaiser. 1t
is weak from the first word to the
last. It is a dismal appeal for con-
tinued support from a sullen, dis
contented people. It is designed to
give the sGerman newspapers a
theme upon which they can harp
while trying to minimize the Ger
man defeat. But 1t is as true of
Germany as 1t was OF America when
Lincoln said 1t. that while You can
fool all OF the people some of the
time, and some of the people all
the time, you can't fool all the peo-
pie all the time" How long a ma
jority of the Germans will swallow
the sort of fodder the Kaiser is
passing out is problematical, but at
least nobody on this side of the
water is deceived.

GoOd-bV, Baseball!

(From the Kansas City Times)
Organized baseball is accepting
the governments decree in the same
spirit that all Americans have re-
sponded to every call for sacrifice.
The men in charge have been good
sports in prosperity, and they are
good sports in adversely.
The baseball situation is merely
another result of the nations strip
ping for action. War is America s
one business. Everything else is in
cidental. So far as possible, of
course, the industries of the coun-
try must be carried on. But we have
only a certain amount of national
energy. AS more of 1t is directed to
war, less is left for other purposes.
The problem is to cut down the less
essential things so that the energy
that was devoted to them may be
available elsewhere.

What Children Know of War

olous and indecorous; and so it is in
the light of the tragedies they have
witnessed. Children of seven have
seen more OF horror in three years
than most old men have read about
in a lifetime. Many of them have
been captured by and recaptured
from the Huns. They have been in
villages where the dead lay in piles
and not even the women were
spared. They have been present
While indecencies were worked upon
their mothers. They have seen men
hanged, shot, bayoneted and flung to
roast in burning houses. The pic
lures of all these things hang in
their eyes. When they play, it is
out of politeness to the kind Amer
leans. not because they derive any
pleasure from it.
Might is the troublesome time.
The children hide under their beds
with terror. The nurses have to go
the rounds continually. If the chill
dren would only cry, they would
give warning. But, instead, they
creep silently out from between the
sheets and crouch against the floor
like dumb animals That is what
they are when first they are brought
in. Their most primitive instincts
for the beginnings of cleanliness
seem to have vanished. They have
been fished out of caves. ruined dug
outs, broken houses. They are as
full of skin diseases as the beggar
who sat outside Dives gate. only they
have had no dogs to lick their sores
They have lived on offal so long
that they have the faces of the ex-
tremely aged. And their hatred! Di-
A11r.
the little night-gowned figures sit up
in their cots and curse. When they
have done cursing. of their own ac-
cord they sing the 'Marseillaise.'

HIS JUST DESSERTS

- ATRIOTIC Americans will be
unanimous in the opinion that
Field Marshal Eichhorn, who
was murdered by a Russian revolu-
ZIONIST, got his just desserts. Eich-
horn had been industriously robbing
the Ukraine Of its grain. That the
people Of the invaded territory were
left with little between themselves
and starvation meant nothing to
him. A hundred thousand Ukrain-
tans more or less was a mere mat
ter of mathematics. and the fewer
there were of them the less grain
they would eat. He sowed the wind
and he reaped the whirlwind. He
has gone to join the slayer OF Edith
Cavell and the ravager of Belgium to
act as reception committee for the
Kaiser when Satan finally comes
into his own.
There is poetic justice in the
death OF this German brute, but

COLONEL'S SERVICE

GFrom the Minneapolis Tribune1
Colonel Roosevelt declines to be-
come a candidate for Governor of
New York. He could have had the
nomination if he had been willing to
take it. He declines not because he
does not regard the office as big
enough to deserve his time and abil-
ity, but because to serve the state in
that capacity as it ought to be served
would not leave him the opportunity
to do what he hopes to do to help
win the war.
In winning the war Colonel Roose-
Welt has been a large factor. No
vision has been clearer, no voice has
been more inspiring. no zeal more
influential in tuning up the sent-
ment of the country to the high
pitch to which it has at last at
tanned. He preached war when 9TH
ers counseled peace; he declared our
duty to join in the struggle against
autocracy when others insisted upon
neutrality; he was for preparedness
when others saw no reason for 1t; he
advocated universal training long be-
fore it had become a popular con-
viction and in favor of which those
in high authority have only very re-
Gently declared themselves. Nine
tenths of wisdom to use his own
suggestive phrase, Consists in being
wise in time"
We still need him in the relation
of leader. He will be on ahead of
the rest of us most of the time. but
we shall hear his voice and continue
to follow in the direction in which
he goes. We are nearly all occupy
ing now the positions he Ield some
time ago. but in the days of defeat
for the enemy. when the enemy is
offering terms of settlement that
may tempt a war-weary world. we
may need to be reminded of what he

there Is more than that The killing
Of two German diplomats of high
rank within few weeks by Russian
revoluuenists indicates that there is
steadily rising anger In Russia
against the Bolshevik officials and
their German masters. The double
murder leads to the hope that this
pro-ally element may soon come into
the ascendancy in Russia and compel
the German government to recon-
struct its eastern 'front.' thus remov-

LIEUTENANT Coningsby Dawson

LIEUTENANT Coningsby Dawson
tells of visiting an American
Red Cross hospital for chill
dren in France, in the current issue
of Good Housekeeping. He tells of
these small sufferers as follows:
Through villages swarming with
troops and packed with ordnance we
arrived at an old caserne, which had
been converted into the children s
hospital of the district 1t is in
charge of one of the first of Amer
ica's children's specialists.
Here are 500 little patients. This
barracks converted into a hospital is
full of babies. the youngest being
only days old when 1 was there.
Many of the children have no par
ents. Others have lost their moth
ers; their fathers are serving in the
trenches. 1t is not always easy to
ind out how they came to be or
phans, there are such plentiful
chances of losing parents who live
continually under shellfre. One lit
tie boy, on being asked where his
mother was, replied gravely: My
mama, she is dead. Les Boches.
they put gun to 'er head. She is
finished. I have no mama.
The unchildlike stoicism of these
children is appalling. I spent two
days among them and heard no cry
ing. Those who are sick lie mo-
tionless as waxen images in their
cots. Those who are supposedly
well sit all day brooding and saving
nothing. When first they arrive,
their faces are earth colored. The
first thing they have to be taught is
how to be children. They have to
be coaXed and induced to play; even
then they soon grow weary. They
seem to regard mere playing as friv-
