Germany's Retreat Specialist

IFrom the New York World.l
The report that General Hans Won
Boehn, the German retreat spe-
cialist," has been appointed to the
supreme command on the 'Somme
front has moro than military in
terest. 1t was General Boehn who
conducted the mastery German re-
treat from the Marne salient, and
doubtless he can do as well in Pi-
cardy, where conditions are still more
favorable, but the German general
staff needs q retreat specialist at
home quite as much as at the front.
The Hindenburg offensive which
began so promisingly March II has
been wrecked. All the German hopes
of peace through military decision
have been blasted. The promises OF
Hindenburg and Ludendorff have
gone to protest. The German news
papers are commenting bitterly upon
the failure of the high command,
and Macmillan Harden Is again as
sailing Prussian policy. A retreat
specialist who could lead the Ger
man people back to state of coufi-
dence would be worth more to the
Kaiser than Ludendorff. to say moth
ing of Boehn.

HINT FOR HIGH SCHOOL

TINE Harrisburg Academy, with
the opening of the fall term
will have military instruction as
a part of its course of study Here is
hint for the high schools. With
tho lowering of the draft age limit
to eighteen years many high school
boys will go into the army within
the next year and class in military
drill could do much to prepare them
for the field.
Indeed, it becomes a duty on the
part OF all school officials, under
present circumstances. to offer these
lads opportunity to fit themselves for
their country's service. That is what
the schools are for-to fit students
for their life work, and if military
duty is to be their first activity after
leaving study then a course in SOL
diering should be offered to every
male student in the high schools. DIR.
Brown, of the Academy, has recog-
nized the need and has met it for
the institution of which he is the
beadmaster.

THE TURN OF THE TIDE

Oh, listen to the cheering by the

From Scissors to Chalons.. from
Epernay to Rheims.
For the Allies are pushing back
the foe!
The going 1t is good and the courage
1t is fine,
And blue and khaki chase the flee
ing gray;
'Tis long, long journey from the
Marne to the Rhine,
But the Allies have started on the
way.
They have moved down the enemy
with many yawning gap.
They have captured his munitions
where fled;
And General Foch who leads is fol-
lowing up map
Whose roads are all clearly mark
ed in red.
No more shall flee the peasants in
the invaders way,
The dwellers by the Ourcq and the
Aisne:
Their hastily packed household goods
are now unpacked to stay.
For the villagers are going home
again!

MdiS, Oui, Mr.. Briggs
[From the Atlantic1

When you have been on patrol
long way behind the enemy lines,
shooting up towns and camps and
railway trains like a pack of aerial
cowboys; when, on your way home,
you have deliberately disobeyed or
ders and loafed a long way behind
the other members of your group in
order to watch the pretty sunset; and
as a punishment for this aesthetic
indulgence, have been overtaken by
darkness and compelled to land in
strange country, only to have your
machine Immediately surrounded by
German soldiers; then, having taken
the desperate resolve that they shall
not have possession of your old bat
tle-scarred avion as we'll as of your
person, when you are about to touch
a match to it. If the light glistens on
long French bayonet and you learn
that the German soldiers have been
prisoners since the battle of the
Somme and have just finished their
days work of harvesting beets to be
used in making sugar for French
poilus-oh, isn't it a grand and glor-
ious feeling?"
To which would reply. "Mais oui,

but many. many farmers and numer-
Gus farms of splendid producing
value.
What the fuel administration
needs to do is to hunt up coal cars,
not county fairs, at least in Pennsyl-
vania, which is rapidly getting into
high place as a producer of food
stuffs and which is caring for a
pretty fair sized portion of its eight
millions of people. The Keystone
Commonwealth is. unlike any other
State in the diversity of it's industry
and beyond the comprehension of
some people from States whose whole
population does not equal that of
either Philadelphia or Allegheny
county.

THE VICTORY DRAFT

[From the New York Tribune1
The new draft should be called the
Victory Draft. General Marsh says it
is needed to furnish the fighting pow
er with which the war can be won.
In that case everybody ought to be
for 1t.
The revised American program
calls for eighty divisions on the
fighting line in Europe by June so
next. Counting 10000 men to di-
vision, including auxiliaries. that
would mean 100000 men at the
front. Eighteen divisions-72O, 600
men-would be in the camps at
home as a reserve, and as they
crossed the Atlantic their places here
would be taken by new divisions.
General March says that 10000
Americans in France, under a single
commander, could go next year any
where they wanted to go. That Is
not oversanguine. Germany will not
have the strength left year from
now to hold any line against 4,OO0,-
900 Americans, aided by the French,
British and Italians.
To keep a fighting army of 4,OOO,-
900 going we should have to raise
between 6 100000 and 100000 men.
We have about 100000 volunteers.
The first draft and the two classes
reaching twenty-one between June
5, 1917, and June 5, 1919. probably
will furnish more than 100000
men. 1t is the War Departments
present aim to raise about 100000
from the new draft. All these re-
cruits will be needed. Any attempts to
limit the new conscription will there
fore endanger the program of VIC
tory.
If the minimum age is raised to
nineteen the maximum age will have
to be raised above forty-five, or else
the present exemptions between
nineteen and forty-five will have to
be narrowed. That is the nut which
the opponents of the Senate bill will
have to crack. We must get the
men. Age limits and deferred classi-
fications will have to take care of
themselves until the creation OF an
army of victory is assured.
Congress must act in this spirit
Let us develop our manpower to the
utmost-and quickly. Otherwise we
shall have missed the meaning of all
the military experience of the last
four years.

THE NEW CONTEMPTIBLES

yawned, because the lust for
gold
That has them firmly in its clutch
will never loose its hold.
They may stop minting money long
enough to call me Hun
But what care we for epithets? p
They'll never fire a gun!'
Tell that to your well-trained, pre-
else, unthinking war machines,
Who had the grave misfortune to en-
counter our Marinss.

your second big defeat.
The Mills of God are grinding as the

what can they do?" the German
press inquired with scornful
sneers,
To beat our mighty army that was
building forty years?
Behold the New Contemptibles, pre-
pared to thrash us-how?"
Behold them then-and let us know,
what think you of them now?
The British crush your submarines;
they beat you in the air;
The "idiotic" Yankee now is primed
to do his share.
We're in! And we will carry on un-
til the sun shall shine
Upon Old Glory's brilliant folds, re-
fiected in the Rhine!
Full slow TO draw the sword were
we, but now the die is cast
The tongue Ee Prussian understands

Now we will fight, and we will die,
but right must surely win,
And though we start 'Somwhere in

HOW TO MAKE SOAP
[Bulletip of the American Chemical
Society,"

bulletin of the American Chemical
Society,"
Are you trying to conserve fats ?
Then you know one way to conserve
is to use up the craps of fat in max
ing soap. If you have tried to fol-
low the directions on a can of lye.
you were appalled, to find that it was
necessary to accumulate five and a
half pounds of fat. Perhaps after
carefully following these. directions,
instead of ending with something you
could call soap you had still greasy,
curdled, useless mass.
Do not be discouraged. Next time
you make soap observe these precau-
tions: Have the fat only just melted.
Add the lye very slowly. Make the
soap in smaller quantities, at first
anyway.
Pour into a glass jar five and a
quarter cups of cold water. Add to
the water the contents of a can of
lye. Stir until all the lye is dis
solved and allow it to become COM
pletely cold.
Try out the fat from scraps of
meat by heating. Clarity the fat
and get rid of any salt it may con-
tain by boiling it for at least five
minutes with several times its vol
ume of water. Allow the fat to col
lect, then skim it off. 1t may be
melted and strained again.
Make out of stiff paper or card
board some molds about the shape
of cake of laundry coap, but thick
er. Weigh out half a pound of fat.
Heat it just enough to melt it--no
more. Measure out half cupful of
the lye solution. Add the lye to the
fat spoonful at a time, stirring
we'll after each addition. This should
take over five minutes. Keep on beat
ing until the mass is fairly thick;
pour it into molds. Set it away to
harden and ripen and you will be
enthusiastic when you use your fine
floating soap for dish washing.

THE VALUE OF A FAIR

q ECRETARY OF AGRIcUL-
- TURE CHARLES z. PATTON
is exactly right in his position
that the educational advantages Of
county fair or an agricultural exhi-
bition outweigh any considerations
which the Federal Fuel Administre-
ton may have for advising against
holding fairs as a means of aiding
the coal situation. Without going
into the fuel conditions. concerning
which some stories heard last spring
and much denied are now being dis
covered to be only too we'll founded
It may we'll be said that the sugges-
ton that Pennsylvania discontinue
county fairs as a means of keeping
miners at work and to save coal on
railroads is mighty far fetched.
In the first place the farmer is the
man the nation needs to keep on The
farm and to help him get his maxi
mum production of foodstuffs. For
months and months this newspaper
and thousands of others have been
giving space to emanations from
Washington urging the farmer to ex-
tend his wheat acreage, to plant
more potatoes, to try soy beans. to
to raise sheep, to plant more corn.
to feed cattle and do other things
which are of value to the republic.
but more or less bewildering in va
riety and insistence. One of the
means suggested to get more atten-
ton for farming and by farmers was
the holding of shows. The corn club
has been developed in PENNSYLVANIA
and has added many acres to the
land now under cultivation. The
apple. wool, grain and other exhibits
shown the last few years have un-
questionablys stimulated production
If the suggestion of a man travelling
up and down the land that fairs be
cut out would be followed these ex-
hibits might be shown in the barn
yard of the grower or at crossroads
school house. The effect of a nne
ear of corn from York county would
be lost on a Mercer county farmer
and similarly the pride of a Lebigh
county potato would stir no emula-
ton among the farmers of Cambria
1t is admitted that life on the
farm is more or less routine and
without much change. Hence, the
value of the fair for amusement. ~
we leave the educational end of IL
out of the calculations. People in
some districts have the fair or the
farmers picnic in their minds as
their yearly recreation. To deprive
them of it for the doubtful value
of the fuel that might be conserved
or produced would be unfair, to be
blunt about it.
And lastly, the number and size
of fairs held in coal producing conn
ties is not impressive in the list of
more than seventy fairs in Pennsyl-
vania with an attendance of a million
and quarter. There are not half a
dozen in the anthracite region which
might by any stretch of the imagina-
ton interfere with the coal produc-
ton, and If an exhibition like the
Indiana county fair, for instance.
should be abandoned it would affect
a county which has many minera
