ADISGRACEFUL ROW

"HE disgraceful Palmer-Bonni-
well Mccormick incident of this
- week is nothing more nor less
than a carefully concocted scheme to
prevent Bonniwell from running off
with the Palmer Mccormick bacon.
Granted that Bonniwell is the tool
of the liquor interests and that he is
to which he aspires-a conclusion
reached by a great majority of the
voters long ago-it remains a fact
that Palmer was ready enough to
consort with Bonniwell so long as
there was a chance of bending him
TO the will of the Palmer-McCor-
mick machine. With full knowledge
of Bonniwell's stand against prohibi-
ton and aware of his personal short
comings, the Palmer-McCormick or
ganization was entirely willing to ac-
cept him as their candidate. 1t was
only when they found that he would
have none of them that they decided
to "repudiate" him. Truth is that

Retention of control of the Demo-
cratic party machinery in Pennsyl-
vania is essential to Palmer and Nc
Cormick if they are to remain the
dispensers of federal patronage in
the State and powerful factors in the
administration at Washington. Like
wise. the campaign of 1920 is ap-
preaching and these two worthless
must have the State Committee at
their beck and call if they are to
have hand in nominating the next
Democratic presidential candidate.
So when Bonniwell showed signs of
gaining strength enough to take over
the reins of party control it became
necessary that they cut his political
throat, and the incident of Monday
is the result.
Rule or ruin has been the Palmer
Mccormick doctrine ever since the
two took over the remnant of the
minority party in Pennsylvania and

KITCHEN POLICE
(From the spiker, France)

Kitchen Police is all Kitchen"
and no police" The only thing
about an NJ. P. that would be useful
in connection with kitchen police
would be his club with which pota-
toes could be mashed in a steel he'll
met
One of the duties of kitchen po-
lice is to hold spuds in custody and
keep suspicious eggs under surveil-
lance.
Kitchen policemen do not wear
stars until after they have risen to
the rank of brigadier general.
One good thing about the estab-
lishment run by the kitchen police is
that its menu consists of consider
ably more than bread and water
The K. P.'s should be commend
ed on the fact that they never de-
uand your bread ticket.
Kitchen Police are not the kind
of police that break up poker games,
but they make an awful cleaning
once in n while when luck is coming
their way.
The German prisoners of war
were not arrested by the kitchen po-
lice.
A buck private peeling spuds in
his undershirt is the kitchen policies
equivalent for plain clothes man.
The mess sergeant is a sort of a
kitchen police judge.
The motto of the kitchen police
force is TRY to bring home the
bacon, never spill the beans, and al
ways know on which side your bread
is buttered."

TRYING TO BRIGHTEN US
New York Times1

lNeW Ork TlmeSl
Germany incorrigibly believes, aft
er four years of war, that she can
terrorize her enemies. She believes
1T in the face of her failures in that
direction. her failures by air raids,
by submarine crimes, by atrocities of
every description. She includes us in
that belief. Witness the story told by
Captain Manuel Quadros of the
American fishing schooner Rush,
sunk by U-boat off the Nova Scotia
coast. Captain Quadros had a long
conversation with the commander of
the submarine. and the most inter-
esting thing he reports of what the
German said is this:
He said that when his vessel left
Germany it was under instructions to
sink only three-masters, but that
because of the attitude of the Amer
lean press orders had come to the u
boat by wireless to sink everything
in sight.
In other words, the expert psy-
biologists who conduct Germany's
affairs believed that the more bring
ing of the war to American coasts,
the mere sinking of a few three
masters, would spread panic here
They watched eagerly for the Ameri-
can newspapers to find the signs of
this panic. Not finding it, it never oc-
CURED to them that America could
not be terrorized. The fault must be,
they argued, that the dose was not
strong enough. So now they have or
dered unrestricted warfare, and no
doubt they are again eagerly read
ing the extracts they get from the
American press to get the first Whit
of that panic.
This would not be so extraordinary
If 1t had not happened so often, with
the same result. They tried, for in
stance, to terrorize England by air
raids. 1t resulted only in enraging
England and stimulating recruiting
Again it did not occur to Germany
that England could not be frighten-
ed; the thing to do was merely to
increase the dose, which they did
with the same result. To this day
they must believe that the only rea-
son France is not on her knees beg
ging for mercy is that they have not
committed atrocities enough. The
only possible conclusion is that they
Judge others by themselves; they
could not possibly hold this delusion
so long If that were not the case. 1t
is precisely for that reason that the
German generals and press exhibit
so much alarm when they see the
first faint signs of dependency or
irresolution among their soldiers and
people, and issue such furious ex-
hortations to them to be men" and
to be "'stout hearted"

see that the men are we'll housed,
nave adequate medical attention and
are protected from unhealthful
conditions just as the soldiers are

these measures, the workers in our
shipyards are probably better pro-
tected from accident and disease
than any other body of workmen
in America.
Auburn, N. Y. has been excited
over German rumor that the 354
draft men who went to Camp Dix
July 80, were subjected to an ex-
pertinent with a new kind of serum
and five were dead the day after

investigated the report and found it

The report of the deaths of these
men was given. most circumstan-
tally 1t was said that men return
ing from camp after rejection on
physical examination" saw the bod
les of their comrades carried out
and knew positively that they had
died" The story was circulated
chiefly among the foreigners in Au-
burn. 1t was effectively discredited
by the prompt action of the news
paper.
Bridgeport, Neb., has heard that
men enlisted in the tank service
are required by the United States
military authorities to sign a pledge
that in case of impending capture
they will blow up the tank and COM
nit suicide-to guard the secret of
the tanks construction" 1t is a
ridiculous lie.
There rs no longer any secret
about the construction of a tank
The Germans are making them in

sible to destroy one of these armor-
ed monsters by means of an explos-
| ion so as to conceal the secret of
its construction, and committing
suicide would not help to that end.

Peach Stones Help in War

(From the Phila. North American)
Save peach stones and save a SOL
dier's life. To this appeal of the
United States government house
wives are already giving heed.
Peach stones are used as an impor-
tant ingredient in the making of
gas masks, and that the production
of gas masks may in no way be di-
minished through lack of this raw
material. the gas defense division
of the United States army has voic-
ed it's need.
Hundreds of grocery and food
stores, notified of the government s
desire to conserve peach stones and
the pits of plums, prunes, apricots
and walnuts, have in turn told their
patrons.
Philadelphia. which is a center
for the manufacture of gas masks,
is particularly interested in the
movement. At the gas mask fac
tories in Kensington and Tacony it
was said that huge quantities of
peach stones are necessary to keep
up the output of the gas masks.
The Red Cross in this city. 1t is
expected, will be named as the
agency to handle the bagging and
shipping of the stones.

THE SINGING SOLDIERS

THE men went singing into the
trenches. Press Ditpatch.
Singing they go in old-time fashion
To the murderous trenches of
wasted France;
And quick in cur souls flares a leap
ing passion
OF pride in these knights of the
New Romance.
Never guidon of glory beckons.
And war stands stark as a hideous
thing.
Since with hate incarnate their valor
reckons,
And yet as they go to the test, they
sing.
Oh, singing lads in the gloom -choked
trenches,
The Heart of the Nation sings with
you!
Proud is that Heart mid grief that
wrenches,
Honored and glad in the deeds
you'll DO.
Singing you go; may you singing re-
turn to us
In your carefree, casual Yankee
way;
And may the flame of your high
courage burn to us,
Forging the sword of our faith to-
day!

What Your Bond Will Do

If you buy a hundred dollar bond
of the Fourth Liberty Loan you are
lending the United States govern
ment enough money to feed SOL
dier in France a little more than
seven months. Or you have fur
nished enough money to give him a
complete outfit of winter and sum-
mer clothing. and slicker and over
coat and blankets. with enough left

volver You have done that much
to beat back the Hun.
1t takes $35 more to arm him
with a rifle and a bayonet, and IL
you buy a second hundred dollar
bond you furnish him this rifle and
one thousand cartridges for 1t; and
there will still be enough to pur-
chase bomb to throw in a dugout,

d EPoRTS from, various parts of

man pI opagandists are engas-
ed in magnifying the chances of
death which our soldiers face in
France. 1t is said, for instance,
that the average life of an aviator
at the front is only seven days.
This is a gross eXaggeration.
Figures from the French and
British armies show that the aver
age length of service of pursuit
aviator" at the front is about three
months, and one-half. of these men
are withdrawn for physical deterior-
alton and loss of nerve. Among OBJ
servation aviators and bombers the
percentage of ''wastage" is much
smaller.
The War Department reports: The
probability of uninterrupted service
for an aviator is about ninety days,
less than fifty per cent. of the
wastage is due to deaths"
The French authorities report that
during 1917 the loss in dead. pris-
oners and permanently disabled
amounted to IL per cent. of the
lighting forces, for the year. OF the
wounded in action more than four
fifths return to service, many of
them in less than two months.
AS a matter of fact. because of
the improvements in sanitation and
hospital service the soldiers chances
of returning from this war are
greater than in any war in the past.
Shipyard Workers Safeguarded
Similar stories about danger to
life or limb in our shipyards are
equally false. The Emergency Fleet
Corporation has esta ablished a de-
partment of safety engineering, and
the work of this department has re-
duced the percentage of accidents
in the shipyards below the average
of other industries of the same sort.
The statistics of the Department
of Labor from 1912 to 1916 gave the
accident rate in shipyards as twen-
ty-two in one thousand men. The
accident rate in the Hog Island ship
yards for the month of May was six
to one thousand men.

tablished a health department in

Such signs are calculated to get
better results than the signs so COM

an-hour limit is, of course. obsolete
and is never respected, except in ex-
