AMERICANS AT MARINE

One of the essential characters
tics of this battle must always be
the part played in it by the Amer
leans. For the first time on Euro
pean soil large number of Amer
lean troops. formed into divisions,
found themselves engaged in a mill
tary operation on very large scale;
they were about to undergo a deci-
sive ordeal.
From this ordeal they came out
with flying colors, in every sense of
the word. The gallantry with which
they fought, the skill of their off,
GERS, the heroism of the men excited
the wonder and admiration of every
Frenchman who came into contact
with them. Many of my comrades
were delighted to bear witness of
their valor and GOODNESS. General
Degoutte was for q long time in
Morocco, commanding the celebrat-
ed Moroccan division, which is one
of the glories of, our army; all its
regiments have the 'fourragere." and
their flags are decorated with the
Legion OF onor. In speaking of the
American division which fought at
Chateau Thierry the general de-
clared, II couldn't have done bet
ter with my 'Marocaine,' and Cen
eral Gouraud said of the men:
They are as good as the best of
our poilus."
"As to the Americans" Foch said,
you may say that they are admir-
able soldiers: l have only one fault
to find with them-they want to go
forward too fast-I am obliged to
hold them back They, want to
push on all the time. and kill as
many Germans as they possibly
can" .-
When these gallant American di-
visions received their baptism OF
fire, fighting magnificently beside the
war-hardened French troops. de-
cisive moment in the war had been
reached. The comradeship, the
brotherhood between the French
and the Americans was strengthen
ed upon the field of battle, and their
blood, shed side by side for the same
just cause, sealed forever the union
of these two great nations.-From
Marshal Foch and the Second Bat
tie of the Marne." by Raymond

ber (Christmas) Scrlbner.

THE BREWERYBUND

IF any evidence were needed that
the liquor trade is detrimental
to public order and the general
welfare of the country, it is provided
by the investigation now going on
at Washington. Testimony has been
presented there to show that the
brewery interests blacklisted, brow
beat and otherwise injured or intimi-
dated those who had courage enough
to openly favor. pnohibition.
Even one man who had given
support to a Christian evangelist was
placed on the blacklist. Iron works
that required their employees to be
temperate were listed for ruin, If
the breweries could bring that about
by steering business from them.
A big automobile company was
chalked up for the same reason. De-
tectives were put by the breweries
into the mills of the United States
Steel Company to stir up interest in
beer drinking. The Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad Conf
pany was marked up because it in
sisted that its men safeguard the
lives of the public and the prop
erty of the stockholders by remain
ing sober.
A big hotel was blacklisted for the
reason that it declined to fight
against the closing of bars on Sun
days.
Isn't it time we put out of busi-
ness an interest that places itself
above the law and regards its own
pocketbook as the sole guiding force
of its activities? Isn't it about time
that we recognized in this band of
an instrument of dis
order bordering upon anarchy. and
quite as bad as the spy system that
Germany maintained in America be-
fore and during the war? Isn't it
about time we got rid once and for
all of this lawless brewerybund?

What Has England Done?"

Strange, that in this great hour,
when Righteousness
Has won her war upon Hypocrisy.
That some there be who, lost in
littleness,
And mindful of an ancient grudge,
can ask:
Now, what has England done to
win this war;"
We think we see her smile that Eng
lish smile,
And shrug a lazy shoulder and
just smile.
1t were so little worth her while to
pause
In her stupendous task to make
reply.
What has she done! When with
her great. gray ships,
1.-the, lean destroyers, grim, invinci-
Bile,
She swept the prowling Prussian
from the seas;
And, needless of the sinking SUBJ
marine,
The hidden mine, the Hun-made
treacheries,
Her transports piled the waters
ceaselessly!
You ask what she has done? Have
you forgot
That meath the burning suns of
Palestine
She fought and bled, nor wearied of
the fight
Till from that land where walked
the Eazarene
She drove the foul and pestilential
Turk?
All, what has England done! No
need to ask!
Upon the fields of Flanders and of
France
A million crosses mark million
graves;
Upon each cross a well-loved Eng
lish name.
And, ah, her women! On that peace
full Isle.
Where in the hawthorne hedges
thrushes sang,
And meadowed-larks made gay the
scented air,
Now blackened chimneys rear their
grimy heads,
Smoke belching. and the frightened
birds have fed
Before the thunder of the whirring
wheels.
:ehind unlovely walls, amid the
din,
Seven times million noble women
With tender, unaccustomed fingers
toll,
Nor dream that thew have played q
hero's part.
Great at-hearted England, we have
fought the fight
,ogether, and our mingled blood has
flowed.
Full well we know that under
meath that mask
OF cool indifference there beats q
heart,
Grim as your own gaunt ships when
duty calls.
Yet warm and gentle as your sum-
fner skies;
Nations heart that beats through
out a land
Where kings may be beloved. and
Monarchy
Can teach Republics how they may
be free.
Ahl What has England done? When
came the call,
She counted not the cost, but gave

It is, remembered that this line was

THE YELLOW HUN

THE yellow streak in Germany is
getting broader and broader
with the passing days. De
vastated Belgium, her people en-
slaved, her children dying, her most
precious possessions violently taken
from her." says the New York Even
ing Sun, did not complain OF her
lot as much as the Germans have
since the armisticC was signed"
Nor have the French people. with
all their suffering. or Serbia, or Rus
sia, or Austria Hungary. or Turkey,
or any other of the impoverished
and stricken nations-the victims of
Germany-displayed the mean and
cowardly qualities of the Hun autoc-
racy.
AS the Sun observes, Germany
howls' like a whipped cur, cringes
before its conquerors. weeps Greco
dile tears, begs, whines; all the yell
low, all the anlline dye the works
in all of Germany ever turned out
couldn't make her yellower."
When the former Kaiser boasted
that he was responsible for the use
of the slogan, the yellow PERIL re-
ferring to the Asiatic peoples, he
was, perhaps, inspired by the color
of his own makeup.

MI and R. A. Zentmyer. chair
A'A man of the State Water Sup
ply Commission, are men whose
practical knowledge is supplement-
ed by a breath of vision of the type
that makes dreams come true. There
was a time when the telephone, the
aeroplane, the wireless telegraph
and many other devices now in
everyday use, were regarded by mill
lions as the idle notions of vision
aries-good jokes for neighborhood
comedians, but not for a moment to
be considered seriously. So 1t has
been for years with regard to the
canalizing of the Susquehanna river,
But those who heard Major Gray

OUR NEXT BIG TASK

~ PEAKING before the Kiwanis
- Club yesterday, DR.. H. B. Wal
ter, former Select Councilman,
voiced the sentiments of thousands
of Harrisburgers when he said that
the improvement of the housing
conditions of Harrisburg should be
one of our first peace moves. There
has been much talk, he said, but
little action on the part of indivi-
duals or organizations who should
head the enterprise. DR.. Walter
spoke with knowledge, having been
for years a member of city council
and as a physician getting into
homes in all parts of the city.
Better housing is not only hu-
manitarian but an economical
measure. There are better days
ahead for this city. We have just
begun our growth. So we must come
to the understanding that We can
not hope to maintain our prestige
as a progressive city If we. do not
recognize our obligations as to prop
er housing for our people.
The war has brought with it a
wider outlook. Men and women
have toiled and fought for better
things, and they are going to have
them. 1t is no longer the belief of
anybody that four walls and roof
constitute a home. Home is where
the heart is" and nobody puts much
heart into a hovel. Health, oppor-
tunity, happiness-these ought to
be the heritages of every American
child. Paved streets, parks. filter
ed water, sewers, schools, abundance
of work for those who want it
these all make for a model city. but
the very foundation of the COM
munity is the home and it ought to
be our first consideration. DIR.
Walter is correct in his view. Bet
ter housing conditions ought to be
our first thought in the reconstruc-
ton program following the war.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
the Editor of the Telegraph:

~ "e EdHoF or He eicgFdPH:
1t was with a great deal of inter-
e that I read your editorial of
last Saturday on "A Harrisburg Me-
mortal" I feel as you do that a
permanent memorial for those who
fought and bled, for the boys who
Offered up their last measure of de-
votion for their country and hu-
manity, should not only be orna-
mental. but that it ought also to be
useful" And what more worthy and
useful memorial could be erected
than hospital building modern
and we'll equipped? A city the size
OF harrisburg should have a large
institution that can properly care
Tor the sick. Such a hospital, also
would be fitting thanksgiving of
terlng to the good God who has
guided us through the trials and
perils of war to a just and victori-
Gus peace.
During the recent influenza epi-
demic l had the sad duty of visit
ing the Harrisburg Hospital sew
eral times q day. The manner in
which the hospital staff-the ply
sicians, nurses. etc., handled the
critical situation was indeed very
| commendable and praiseworthy. The
hospital authorities had an ex-
tremely difficult task, but they coped
with 1t very admirably and efficient
ly. The Emergency Hospital proved
OF very great benefit and assistance.
But still the facilities were not ade-
quate. The demands made upon
every hospital in our community
were very much greater than they
could properly meet. 1t is true that
the epidemic was one of treme ndous
proportions-may the like of 1t
never return to our community or
any city. 1t is true that the hos
pitfalls in the large cities could not
take care of the enormously large
number of cases. Our community,
however, is growing. We are dis
playing very progressive spirit
! in many ways. Harrisburg is in
need of a hospital which will be
large enough to conform with the
size of its population, an institution
which will adequately meet the in
ereasing demands of our city.
The memory of our boys who have
fallen upon the battlefield could be
perpetuateu Dy calling Such nos
, pital 'Harrisburg's War Memorial
Hospital or any other appropriate
name that may be suggested after
careful thought and consideration.
An institution of this kind will re-
hbound to the glory of our boys that
have gone from our midst and 1t will
be n worthy and fitting memorial of
which Harrisburg will be able to
point with pride and honor for many
generations.
A splendid opportunity is now
at hand for one or more of the civic
bodies of Harrisburg to launch the
project suggested in your editorial.
I hope that it will meet with a
speedy earnest and favorable con-
sideration.
Very truly yours,
LOUIS J. HAAS,
