tical camoufage. President Wilson

of war conditions that have given
him absolute power over certain
conditions that seemed necessary to
speed up the work, but that was as

GERMANY BEATEN

TIME end of the war is so plainly
in sight that fighting may come
to an end before these words
reach the public. Germany has been
unable to procure an armistice be-
fore the defeat of her armies. The
military supremacy of the Allies has
been clearly proved. Germ~n SOL
diers are utterly defeated and in
panic-stricken flight. Even though
actual warfare ends to-day, the world
knows that the Allies have smashed
the German military machine, and
that it is trying desperately to save
the remnants from utter annihila-
ton. That is the big thing that his
story will record of these momentous
days. The legend Of German invinci-
bility is shattered.
And the next biggest thing is the
plight in which the, German empire
finds itself. 1t is in grave danger Of
going the way Russia has gone. 1t
will be to the interests of the Allies
to save the nation from this disaster.
The Bolshevik is menace to the
world. Bolshevikism must be put
down If civilization is to live. A quick
cessation Of the war, the occupation
of German territory by Allied forces,
the abdication of the Kaiser and a
complete characterization of Ger
many alone can save the country
from a deluge of blood from within.
We have no great pity for the Ger
man people in the misfortune that
has overcome them, but it is our
duty to the world and to ourselves
to put down the international GRIM
inal wherever he may be found, and
the Bolshevik is as bad as the Kaiser
himself.

THANKSGIVING WEEK

.NOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH has
N asked the people of the Com
monwealth to observe to-mor-
row as Thanksgiving Day for the
passing of the influenza epidemic.
That is a good thought, but why not
enlarge upon it? Why not make the
whole of next week a Thanksgiving
period for the victory that has come
to the Allied arms and the preserva-
ton of civilization?
The man who is truly thankful
gives. The ancient Hebrews offered
up sacrifices of the best that God had
given them. Let us emulate that
worthy example by giving something
of our plenty to those who need it,
and with the War Work committee
asking for s1SO,OO0 from the city
alone, it will not be difficult to de-
eide where your gifts should go.
Be thankful to the soldiers and
sailors who have made our civiliza-
ton secure and register the fervency
of your prayers by the number of the
dollars you give for their welfare.
Give as you pray.

OF THE OLD SCHOOL

THE Telegraph published last
evening a poem by Prof. ]. H.
Kurzenknabe, of Camp Hill, long
a resident of this city and known
and loved by thousands. If all the
people native to Germany were of
the kindly nature of the aged
musician there never would have
been a war.
AS Mr.. Morgenthau, the dis
tinguished former ambassador to
Turkey, said during his address in
Chestnut street hall Thursday, the
German life of a half-century back
has been crushed by the military
teachers, who took the children at
the cradle and instilled into their
hearts and minds the damnable doc
trines that almost ruined civiliza-
ton and are about to destroy the
forces that set them in motion.
Just now we are so sore over the
atrocities of the modern Germans
that we have forgotten for the
moment the older. kinder Germany,
but we are not so vengeful but that
we hope the old days will return
and after a period in sackcloth and
ashes the Germans may again come
into their own. Prof. Kurzenknabe is
of the old school of Germans, but
he is of the modern school of
Americans, all wool and a yard
wide.

The season when the raking and

The military party in Germany
that has screwed up its face, shut

our fighters come back they will
bo better men In every way than
when they left, but we must stay
with them until they get back homel
There will not only be oppor-
tunity for tho classical training of
the men; there will bo vocational
training and every opportunity to
ut themselves for even better things
when they return home than they
had before going into the army.
So the United War Work organ-
nations are getting right behind the
men at the most critical time to
prove to them that the people at
home are ready to back them in war
or peace. The plans that have been
worked out to let our fighters go
to school-to give men vocational
and technical training that will fit
them to earn more when they return
than they did before they left-the
opening of the English and French
universities for higher education
the organization of correspondence
courses so that however isolated
man may be he can benefit by
these Neutrality-suspicious. are the
things which the great army educa-
tional program of the United War
Work campaign contenfplates and
which the people of the country are
now asked to provide for in their
contributions to the big drive that
will get fully under way next Tues
day, the 18th of November.
So it is up to you to show by your
willingness to help in the raising of
this great fund that you are much
interested in the fighting men who
are ready for peace as you were for
the same men who were pepared
to make the supreme sacrifice for
you on the fighting front.
The nearer peace comes the more
you must give-to make the period
of rehabilitation an asset instead of
a dangerous liability for our fight
