WHERE CRoATIANs STAND
70 the Editor of The Telegraph:


Recent developments in Austria
Hungary as brought to light by the
press of this country have again
proved the fact that that nation cam
not much longer endure in it's pres
ent form of tyrannous ruling over a
multitude of Slavs, who compose the
bulk of her population.
We find in these brief news items,
which happen to Slide by the Off
cial censor that the entire Slav pop
ulation is not merely asking. but de-
manding liberation from the dual
monarchy.
There is a people ruled by Aus
ia-Hungary, which now suffers.
unknown to the world, such perse-
cutions and determination as have
never yet been found in the civilized
world. These are not common, every
day prosecutions and imprisonments
such as are daily perpetuated upon
other Slavic people in the Austria
Hungarian monarchy. They are
systematic and ruthless extermina-
tions, carried out according to a
specific plan upon a gifted race.
These unknown sufferers are the
Southern Slavs, of Austria, the
Croatians, Serbs and Slovenians,
whose only crime in the eyes of the
Austro-H Hungarian administration is
that they desire justice, freedom,
progress and civilization, and that
they love their own national lang
uage and their own national tradi-
tions.
The hopes of the Southern Slavs
are that the end of this great war
will find them united in a country
of their own desire. that never again
shall known foe rule upon them.
The history of the Southern Slavs
from the most ancient times prove
the fact that they are one and the
same people, that their desires are
lone, that the downfall of one would
be the ruination of the other.
Those of the Southern Slavs who
are at present in Austria are unable
to express their wishes in regard to
their unity, but there is no doubt
this wish is in their hearts, and for
this they are enduring every imagin-
able outrage at the hands of the
Austro-H Hungarian authorities, They
are being robbed, hanged, shot and
thrust into the forefront of the bat
tie against the brothers of their own
race.
This unparalleled suffering of the
whole Southern Slav nation has
done more than anything else to
create the moral unity of all the
Southern Slavs.
And. therefore. all of the South
ern Slavs hope and trust that when
the day of victory dawns for the
Allies over the Central powers, il
will also be the moment of victory
for all that they most ardently de-
sire for the Southern Slav unity will

state created, and this has been
their dearest dream for many GEN.
turtles.
l am writing this message to the
people of Harrisburg so they can
easily see where the Creations stand
in the war.

Who Wakes the Bugler?

Philosophers who piped in rosy
peace days on (Which arrived first,
the egg or the chicken" might well
train all their wits, now that war is
about us, upon the cantonment
mystery: Who wakes the bugler?
Have you considered the problems
which his job entails? He isn't
even allowed an alarm clock. His
only harbor is the guard. And the
guard is human. What If he should
forget the bugler! 1t is more hor-
rible to contemplate than what
would have happened had there
been no one around when the stars
and the suns and earths were wait
ing in the wings for the call boy to
warn them when their act was due.
And, too. If you wish to push the
discussion back ana back beyond
stars and suns, who wakes the
guard!-From the New Orleans

WAR ON DINNER PAIL

To the Editor Of She Telegraph:
1 listened with deen concern to
the addresses delivered at the great
mass meeting in the Chestnut street
auditorium.
sincerely trust and pray that the
vast assembly may have its con-
science melted as was its consciou-
ness, and that the speeches may be-
come living flesh and pure red blood
to every one who was present.
My soul was thrilled to it's very
tender spot; but not nearly so deep
ly as it was yesterday morning while
listening to an humble employe. of
one of the iron industries of Harris
burg.
He said, II get angry when 1 see
the awful waste of food in the place
/ work. At lunch time many of the
employees eat their meals in n hurry.
Some take a bite or two of a sand
wich and then throw the rest away,
and some throw under the benches
whole buns, rolls, sandwiches and
slices of bread. What is thrown
away would feed many hungry
ones"
No doubt, what many so wantonly
waste what is so desperately needed
do so without thinking what it
means to starving thousands.
Those who have charge of the
great movement to fight in this war
this side of the trenches should at
once begin war against the willful
waste of the contents of the dinner
pail.
Wives and clearinghouse mis-
tresses should consult the men, con-
cerning the food. and ask whether
less wheat food and meat food
would suffice. If they had more than
was absolutely necessary not to
waste 1t, but leave it in the pail, or
to share it to other men whose pals
may have a deplorable lacking.

THE SOLDIERS

Who is a soldier of Old Uncle Sam
Not the man in the trenches alone,
But the boy and the girl who'll save
the wheat bread,
And fill up on good old corh pone.
Who is the fellow who's true to his
flag,
Not only the man who will fight.
But the kid who will cut out the
pies and the cakes.
And on cereal eating unite.
Who is the chap who will kill Kaiser
Bill,
And make the world happy once
more?
Not only the chap who goes cover
the top"
But the kid who for candy won't
roar!

ium Monday night - probably
the greatest in the history of the city
shows how earnestly Harrisburg is
taking its part in the war and the
frequent outbursts of approval dur

walton of food clearly indicated that
the people of this city mean to do
their full share in saving provisions,
that our soldiers and our allies may
have enough to eat.
We are patriotic people, willing
to go as far as any to help win the

forming our full measure of duty to

have been wondering why, with a
grain famine in prospect and the
ration card more than a probability,
President Wilson continues to per-
init millions of bushels of grain to be
wasted in the manufacture of beer.
Buy single stroke of the pen he
could save all this food for the hun

This, says Mayor Hubbard, has never

that those nearest the wells get more

further away do not get enough.
1t has been stated by the gas COM
