AZ In DAYS OF HANNIBAL.

Plutarch Is authority for the state
ment that the controlling reason which
led Hannibal TO abandon the siege OF
Rome was that he had learned through
spies that a plot Of ground on which
he was encamped had been sold In
Rome at the usual price in the days of
peace. He thought such people was
neither to be intimidated nor conquer
ed, and so moved southwark. The in
cident Is worth remembering In these
days when the German submarine cam
palgn on this side the water Is for no
other purpose than TO scare the Amer
lean people into surrender, says Phil
adelphla Bulletin. From a military
point Of view very little can be gained
by sinking few schOoners. To use
the vernacular: we don't scare worth
q cent. We have become too much
Injured to the horrors Of war TO be
frightened over any such episodes as
are now conspicuous In our news col
umns. They are interesting rather
than important. They come at time
when all testimony is to the effect that
Germany Is hollow shell. Aside from
the iron ring Of military forces which
surrounds the empire, Germany Is in
deplorable and weakened condition,
much worse than the South In the last
months of the Civil war.

No matter what sacrifices the wal

they are so much less than those being

Embargo on Liquor.

Now that the people OF tn
United States have forced thel
will upon Congress and the Presl
dent in the matter Of prohibition
OF the liquor traffic for the per
iod OF the war, it Is reasonable tt
expect that the President will ex
ercise his power under the Law
to place an embargo upon the
liquor business wherever 1T may
be necessary to safeguard the in
terests vital to the prosecution oi
the war.
The country is IN no mood tor
camouhaglng this issue at Wash
ington or elsewhere. President
Wilson has been the steady
obstructlonlst In the way OF pro
hibltlon and with one reason or
another has managed to stave off
the passing of the saloon. de Is
directly responsible for prolong-
ing the period in which the busl-
ness may be carried on from
January l, 1918, to June 80, 1919.
Under the circumstances, 1T Is
not likely that he will interfere
with the business before the time
limit fixed by the act passed by
Congress yesterday.
A well known reader OF the
Telegraph writes to say that
Harrisburg is likely to suffer a
coal shortage next winter mot
because there is not coal to be
had, but because it cannot be
mined and transported" He
adds: "Within Dauphln county
there IS an abundance OF the best
anthracite in America-in the
Lykens Valley. There still con-
tinues, despite Federal control OF
both coal and transportation, a
dlfferential which not only makes
this nearby coal cost more in
Harrisburg, but which sends it
past our coal yards to be hauled
hundreds OF miles farther while
we must depend on coal brought
in several round about ways ut
terly without relation to conser-
vation of transportation or
effort"
"But there is a larger aspect
of the chilly coal prospect. On
July 12 last the National Coal
Association addressed the Fuel
Administrator that In the opinion
of the representative committee
of operators the country cannot
have both booze and sufficient
coal this winter. The liquor
traffic is curtaihng coal produc.
tion and the time has come to
eliminate It,"
Our indignant correspondent
says he has seen no rel binder to
this definite statement, but
that he had been informed
that President Wilson him.
self, as has been stated on the
floor Of Congress, Is responsible
for postponlmg the dropping of
the prohibition gate until July
l, 1919.
Our correspondent also states
that on the authority of the New
York Independent (page 240,
August "a, 1919, he learned that
last year 1t required 157, 9l5 cars
to haul booze in the United States
and that the liquor traffic burned
60,0C0,C00 tons of coal while it
was decreasing the production
of that necessity.
AS between coal and booze
there can be no doubt whatever
upon which side the people are
aligned. FIT is good thing to
suspend the liquor traffic next

NEW YORK. sept. 2f.--General
Anenby is continuing his advance
northward in Palestine along the
Mediterranean coast road a. about
n rapid a pace as has marked his
constant progress. since the present
offensive began. The capture Of
Haifa and Acre BY the British gives
the allies the use OF the excellent bay

The remarkable use TO which Al
lenby has recently put his cavalry

for that reason the progress IN oper-

to continue az the unprecedented rec

Fifteen miles north OF the Acre
the plains OF the Acre terminate IN
