RECRUITING FOR THE Y. M. C. 4.

creases, and the increasing requests
from Premier Clemenceau, General
PetaiD, and the Italian high COM
mand mount rapidly, the Y. M. c. A.
will be called upon to supply even
greater forces.
Recruiting has been stimulated
all along the line. Several cities are
really aroused to the necessity of
obtaining the biggest and most cap
able men for the service which the
government has entrusted to the Y.
M. c. A.
'In Baltimore Mayor Preston in
vited to his home one hundred and
twenty-five representative business
and professional men, who gave the
tour a rousing sendoff. Pittsburgh
was the banner city of the itinerary,
no less than three enthusiastic meet
ings being held there. The Chamber
of Commerce arranged a meeting
which was attended by one hundred
and fifty men, and later a volunteer
recruiting committee promised to
enlist one hundred men in thirty
days. When the travelling recruiters
left for Rochester this committee
had thirty-five men in sight. The
biggest meeting of all in Pittsburgh
attracted three hundred and fifty
men from the important cities of
Western Pennsylvania. At the re-
quest of the combined forces a man
has been sent from the New York
office of the War Work Council to
direct the campaign.
THE Chamber of Commerce start
ed the ball rolling in Rochester and
appointed a recruiting committee of
fourteen men. The Rotary Club and
other organizations, including a
mems Bible class of six hundred
members, have offered to cooperate
with this committee. Several prom
inelt lawyers and businessmen en-
listed at the first call, and the chair
man of the board of education said
there was an excellent prospect
when we started for Cleveland.
Three hundred and seventy-fve
men were waiting for us at the Hol-
lenden Hotel, in Cleveland, about
one-fourth of them from adjacent
Ohio cities. Many of them were ap-
plicants for service who had been
attracted by the publicity which pre-
ceded our arrival. 1t is a little too
early to estimate the results obtained
by our subsequent meetings, but all
were marked by the enthusiasm of
the earlier meetings of the tour"

Bully for Mayor Keister! His
cleanup proclamation is exactly in
harmony with the best thought of
this community. We must keep this
good old town in prime condition for
the homecoming of the boys when
they shall have licked the Hun to a
FRAGILE. Every attractive yard, front
and back, every strip of green along
the sidewalk, every well-trimmed tree
will represent the sustained love and
memories of the boys we honor.
Mayor Keister might we'll enlarge
his constructive program by requir-
ing the police force to report all trees
along the sidewalks which sweep the
heads of pedestrians. This could and
should be remedied by the creation OF
a real shade-tree commission. Unless
some such action is taken without de-
lay Harrisburg will be treeless city
in few years. Park Commissioner
Gross should take the initiative in this
matter. These are the things which
do not involve large outlays. but they
mean much for the city and all the
people.

F OUR MEN can die fighting

OUR MEN can die fighting
for us, surely then in Gods
name we can die working for
them" These were Harry LADDERS
words at the Metropolitan opera
house, on April 21, when occurred
one of the largest patriotic rallies
held in New York since the United
States entered the war. The National
War Work Council of the Young
Mems Christian Association brought
forth Mr.. Lauder and Governor
whitman to urge the recruiting of
men, and the furthering of the gen.
eral war wark of the association.
One thousand workers a month are
asked for by the war personnel
board for service in the American,
French and Italian armies. England
with her own Y. NJ. c. A. provides
for herself. Already, it is pointed
out, the Y. M. c. A. has 1000 work
ers, whose labors are distributed over
our camps at home and abroad. The
Governor is reported as saying:
The members OF the Y. NJ. C. A.
are not slackers, nor are they paci-
fists. They are as militant Christians
as ever went forth to fight in a Chris
tian cause. All the aid we at home
can give them we must give as part
of the great obligation which we owe
to the cause for which they and the
soldiers at the front are fighting.
Others are giving their lives, and we
must give our money. We will give
to the last dollar rather than that
this cause should fail. Our army at
the present time is a little army. But
if the struggle is prolonged, it will
be a great and mighty army, flghting
under a holy banner which has never
known defeat"
The recruiting organization of the
war personnel board will be extend
ed to every important center in the
country. Only by a draft, so its news
service put it, "can the enormous
number of big and capable men re-
quired be obtained for service with
the fighting forces" A bulletin states:
Results obtained in Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rochester,
Cleveland, Indianapolis, st. Louis,
Chicago and Minneapolis indicate
that the extension of the direct ap-
peal campaign throughout the New
England states, the South and the
Far West will produce the one thou

April budget. AS the number of

Ice Regulation

Mr.. Hoover declares his purpose
to protect the American people
against profiteering in ice. He asks,
however, that an effort be first made
at agreement between dealers and
municipal authorities, and adds in
his instructions to state food admin
istrators:
If such settlement cannot be made
by the local authorities in cases
where there is an attempt to unrea-
sonably increase prices we suggest
that you investigate and in the first
instance endeavor to arbitrate.
Mr.. Hoover we'll says that ice at
reasonable prices is necessary for
the preservation of perishable foods.
National necessity is therefore back
of this reasonable order from the
food administration, and there
should be ready and patriotic coop

LOYALTY OF A PARTY

TACTIONISM here and there
personal resentment, bitter con-
troversies and other political
barnacles which invariably attach
themselves to the main structure OF
a great organization have not de-
stroyed it's usefulness, but have Sc
riously retarded the progress of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania
and elsewhere. The present national
administration is directly the result
of differences among Republicans,
and whatever of shortcoming or
failure is chargeable to those now
in authority must in some measure
go back to the foolishness of a
house divided.
With this fact constantly before
Republicans of State. which Gov
ernor Brumbaugh eloquently por-
trays as the splendid Common
wealth that provides one-tenth of
all the man-power and resources
for the war, will deliberately per-
sist in a course that must end in
utter rout. Whatever the result of
the pending primary the party
should unanimously accept the de-
cision and unitedly press forward in
the development of great govern
mental policies.
There will be disappointments and
political hopes are certain to be
shattered. but the great mission of
the Republican party must ever be
kept in mind. The war for all that
the world and humanity holds of
value is going to be won by the
standing together of the American
is no doubt on that point. But in
this achievement the Republican
party will have its full part only If
and when those who believe in its
principles cast aside all that is
puerile and unimportant and devote
themselves whole-heartedly to the
great task of maintaining unim-
paired the institutions of a free
people.
In the supreme crisis through
which the nation is now passing the
party of Lincoln and Grant and Nc
Kinley and the other great states
men and soldiers who gave force
and effect to it's teachings has up
held, through its honored leaders at
Washington and elsewhere. the
hands of the President and all en-
trusted with the stupendous tasks
of the hour. There has been no
hinching. Patriotism has been con-
stantly placed above partisanship
and the Republican party will
emerge from the titanic struggle
with record of service that shall
further enhance the glory of the
past.
And in proportion as 1t develops
its full strength now in these years
of testing the party will be, prepared
for the tremendous reconstruction
problems which are already dis
cerned by those who are endowed
with the seeing eye and the hearing
ear.
