BETTER THAN GERMANS

"HE manner in which American
troops, the first time under fire,
met and repulsed with great
loss the German "shock" troops
sent against them sends a glow of
pride and a feeling of confidence
throughout the nation. 1t is true
that we lost brave soldiers, but no
war has ever been conducted with
out casualties on both sides and we
must expect greater and greater
losses as the action develops on our
front.
All indications are that a picked
body of the very best German
troops available were thrown at the
American trenches, the aim being to
clean them out and strike terror to
the remaining Americans. The re-
suit must have something of the
opposite effect, for the Germans who
escaped the murderous fire of the
Americans left their accoutrements
and weapons for the most part in
the trenches they had invaded and
scurried back like frightened rab-
bits. The American soldier has
proved his superiority over the
German even under circumstances
greatly favoring the latter.

We two together, underneath the

Alone, on some far hill where

But now there is not time for talk,
just deeds
OF sacrifice, made glorious to us

We will be brave for one another's

Answering dry-eyed the country's
call
We will be wise, my Love, unto the

Memories of these lie fresh with

So when the hour must come to say
good-by.

LETTERS TO FARMERS
By F. R. STEVENS


A great many of our farmers are
becoming most thoroughly .discour-
aged at the labor situation. In a re-
cent meeting of a thousand farmers,
resolutions were passed demanding
only skilled farm workers as opposed
to various types of unskilled labor
which it is planned to send to the
farms. At another meeting several
men expressed the opinion that they
would be obliged to sell their stock
and close up operations if their sons
were drafted or If their help left.
Anyone knowing anything of farm
life sympathiZes with these view
points. Farming is hard enough at
best. 1t is harder still with untrain-
ed help. But Europe is starving. We
have sent hundreds of thousands of
our own blood and fiber into the
trenches over there and they must
not go hungry. Our own people
must eat.
In spite of the discouragements no
farmer must give up. Railroads,
manufacturers of ammunition and
all others are working to disadvan-

Politics and Health Dept.

DR.. Samuel G.. Dixon, whose death
is widely lamented, was the founder
of the Department of Health as it
exists in Pennsylvania to-day. There
had been a health organization be-
fore he assumed his duties of Health
Commissioner, to be sure, but it
was run by a secretary and it had
little power or influence. Not until
the Legislature made ample appro-
priations and enacted drastic laws
and DR.. Dixon was put at the head
of the new department to organize
and control it, did Pennsylvania as
a State, give much attention to
health matters. 1t has now a model
department due to the untiring la
bors of DIR. Dixon.
Administrations at Harrisburg
came and went, but no Governor
ever thought of removing the Com
missioner. Could he have lived on,
no future Governor would contem-
plate it. He was successful because
his heart was in his work. Partisan
politics did not enter into his
scheme.
What Governor Brumbaugh has
in mind. regarding DR.. DiXon's sue
cessor, we do not know. He has ap-
pointed temporarily TO the. position,
DIR. B. Franklin Roger, who has been
Chief Medical Inspector and vir-
tually the head of the department
during the Commissioners illness.
The Governor may place DIR. Royer
in permanent command. He may
appoint someone else. He may con-
tinue existing arrangements and
hand the whole question over to
Senator Sproul, who, in all likeli-
hood, will be the next Governor.
But, whatever may be done. one
thing must be kept steadily in mind
the freedom of the department
from politics. Bring politics into it
and the great organization, now re-
garded everywhere as a splendid ex-
ample of efficiency, would lose it's
character and part with much of it's
usefulness. The model organization
would retire from it's proud position
at the head of State health depart
ments and sink into the oblivion
that has been the fate of so many
similar organizations in other states.
The hand of the politician must
be kept strictly off. this department,
therefore.-From The Philadelphia
Inquirer.

GERMAN BIOLOGISTS

In his residential address to the
Vesey Club, DR.. A. Strahan, F. r. S.,
stated that the Germans began three
years ago to make biologists a part
of their army organization. geo.
logical staff was created under the
direction, of a professor of the Uni
versity of Greifswald, and put to
work on the western front, where its
advice was utilized in connection
with the laying of field railways. the
water supply of the army. the ex-
animation of marsh lands, the find
ing of road metal. and protection
against landslides due to gunf1re. It
is said that much more extensive use
was mado of geological maps than
has thus far been disclosed. and that
the Germans, with an eve to possi-
BILE future wars, have been making a
very thorough geological study of
the occupied territory in neighbor-
ing countrles.-From the Scientific

Jap ShipydrdS Speed Up

The Canadian trade commissioner
at Yokohama states in a recent re-
port that Japan is launching upon a
shipbuilding campaign which will in
volve the construction of $50 ships a
year. He states that at the end of
last September there were in Japan
113 shipbuilding slips owned by
fcrty-two firms. In each slip a ship
of 1000 tons can be built. This is
more than three times the number
of ships Japan owned before the
war. Many more also are building.
and twenty-four slips are expected
to be completed before the end of
the war. When all these berths are
put into full operation. subject to
supply of steel and iron materials,
Japan will be able to build more
than $50 ships, aggregating 1,000,-
900 tons yearly.

The author of this poem is a

from Prague, Bohemia. The piece
first appeared in the magazine
School" 1t is said that Colonel
Roosevelt, after reading the poem,
sent a note to the author in which
he expressed his appreciation and a
wish that the poem might be read in
every schoolhouse in the country.
To these broad shores my fathers
came,
From lands beyond the sea;
They left their homes, they left their

To breathe an air more free.
To them an alien land it seemed,
With customs strange and new.

tage on account of unframed help,
so must the farmer. If there are ten
cows and one hundred acres and the
son or herd man is taken, keep five
COWS and cultivate fifty acres. Don't
give up. Every bushel of grain or
quart of milk helps. The food sup
ply is so serious that the women
are preparing to work on the farms
and I am not certain but that bust
ness institutions of the towns and
smaller cities must close their places
of business for. a portion of the day
and go out on the farms to take a
hand. There are q great many such
who know how to do farm work and
while they may not be able to work
all day, as they did at the time they
love to brag about, they can help
a great deal. The time calls for the
utmost effort of every American.
The opportunity of planting will not
occur again until the spring of
1919, before this history and possi-
bly, our future happiness will be de-
termined.
Now is the time to act.

ENGLISH LABOR'S AIMS

HARRISBURG people will learn
a lot about English war aims
and after-the-war program
at the meeting in Chestnut street au-
ditorium next Saturday evening at
which British Labor Commissioners
to America will speak. This gath
ering should be attended not alone
by laboring people. Men and wo-
ment of every walk of life should be
present. Issues that will reach far
beyond the war will be discussed.
English labor is standing Loyalty be-
hind it's government. English labor
sends a message to American labor,
urging it to back up President Will
son in this crisis. But the English
commissioners bring to American
workmen more than that. They
come with a thought for the i'm
provement of the working people of
Great Britain when the war shall
have ended in an allied victory. with
the hope and belief that it will find
an echo on this side or the Atlantic.
The promise is held out every
where of a new world after the war
"a world in which the masses shall
have a greater share in the worlds
goods and better opportunity for
well-being and happiness than ever
before. The workers of the world
both those who labor with their
hands and those who work with their
brains-are going to save the world,
and very properly they will demand
a larger part in the administration
of it's affairs, after the victory shall
have been won. This need not mean
Socialism, but it will mean just that
if intelligent employment methods
are not made universal, Industrial
leaders must put their houses in
order, and it is for them as we'll as
for laboring people that the English
commissioners bring a word of in
struction, for England is much far
Tner along with a most remarkable
after-the-war labor program than
most people in this country know.
Granted that the proposed radical
reconstruction program of the Brit
ish Labor Party is in some respects
experimental and in others perhaps
impossible of realization, there are
many points of similarity between
it and the ideas advanced thinkers
in this country have in mind for the
United States, when the world has
been made safe for democracy.
This need cause the ultra-conserva-
lists no alarm. There is nothing in
it approaching the ideas of either
the i. w. w. or the Bolshevilxi.
1t was Charles M. Schwab, ex-
planning what he meant when he de-
clared that after the war the world

LAUDER ON THRIFT

In the memory of his son whose
life war has claimed, Harry Lauder,
famous Scotch comedian, is making
his appearance at Army camps and
cantonments throughout the country
under the auspices of the Army and
Navy Y. M. C. A, and he has dem
onstrated again and again that his
own personal sorrow has not lessen
ed his almost magical power to
make other men laugh.
He always has something to say
about thrift and the thrift campaign.
AS Scotchman, though a comedian,
Harry Lauder has a number of thrift
maxims which he insists ought to
be observed by everyone.
Here are some of them:
Behave toward your purpose as
you would to your best friend.
view the reckless spending of
money as criminal and shun the
company of the reckless spender.
Dress neatly, but not lavishly. A
bank pays a higher rate of interest
than your back.
Take your amusements judici-
ously. You will enjoy them better.
Don't throw away the crusts-
eat them. They are nourishing as
beef.
"It is more eXhilarating to feel
money in your pocket than beer in
your stomach.
Remember it only takes twenty
shillings to make pound and
twelve pence to make a shilling.
"You can sleep better after hard
days work than after hard days
idleness.
"Get good value from your trades
men. They watch out that they get
good money from you.
"a bank book makes good read
ing-better than some novels. -

The Stamp of Success

He bought a little thrift stamp, then
He bought a little bond,
And next he bought house and lot
Beside a lily pond.
He bought a pianola and
He bought a diamond pin.
A fiivver and a portable
Garage to keep it in.
He also bought a city block,
A yacht. a limousine.
With two twin chauffeurs UP in front
Dolled up in Russian green:
A railroad and a factory
And steamship line, for so
Do fortunes in the u. S. A.
From little thrift stamps grow.
