thorough investigation of the charges
that the Y. Nj. G. A. charged exorbitant
prices for goods in the war zones and
that the Y. M. G. A. stations were not
sufficiently supplied with service men.
For some time there have come rumors
of dissatisfaction with the kind OF serv-
ice which the Y. NJ. c. A. was giving the
American soldiers in some parts of the
battle areas These rumors were not
given general credence because Of the
high repute in which the home organiza-
ton of the " NJ. G. A. was held; but it
was thought possible that there might
have been few scattered cases in which
the best service had not been done for
the American soldiers. However, these
rumors have persisted and have now
reached stage which has had tenden-
cy to disturb public confidence in the "
NJ. G. A. war work to certain extent
although by no means destroying that
confidence. To clear itself of the charges
the Y NJ. G. A. overseas organization
should, as John R. Mott states, court in.
vestigation to get at the truth or faIsity
of the accusation. If it should be estab.
lished that there was some foundation
for the charges, then the Y NJ. c. A.
should take immediate steps to remedy
the trouble in SO far as it is possible to
do so; if, on the other hand, the charges
should be proven false, the Y. NJ, c. A.
needs generation. The future of the or
ganization in the United States and the
world will be considerably affected by the
outcome of such an investigation, BY
all means, let there be full and frank
inquiry Of the charges.

IT'S a pity that Capt Hobard (Hobey)

ton to the fact that just as close sur.
yeillance of airplanes is needed in time of
peace as in time of war, for it seems
probable that the fatality was due to
defect of the machine rather than to
fault of the operator because Capt. Bak-

BETHANY COLLEGE
HELPS SAVE FOOD

Regular courses in food conserva

leges throughout the state. Bethany
College has made a fine report of its
work along this line.
Last spring in the Home Economics
Department a regular course of study
outlined by the Food Administration
was offered as part of the regular
college work. All the girls in the
Household Economics Department
took this course. The Department OF
Agriculture of this school also placed
special emphasis on the food prob
lens that the Food Administration
desired to work out, and raised on it's
farm rs far as possible war crops.
In speaking Of the work of the Food
Administration. Mr.. Hoover. Dean OF
Agriculture at Bethany said, 1--WE all
feel that the work Of the Food Admin
istration throughout the country has
been Of very efficient, inspiring and
patriotic character. Confronted with
one Of the most difficult problems of
the war. it has accomplished its work

HAGERSTOWN MAN

Geo. F. Burkhart Found Dead
In His Home There.

George F. Burkhart. one of the best

found dead in his home in that city
about noon, Tuesday under rather
tragic and strange circumstances. From
all indications MIR. -Burkhart, who
lived alone, was aSphyxiatedS by IL
Eliminating gas. His body was found
in the sitting room on the first floor.
Mr.. Burkhart had arranged for the
sale of twenty-three shares of First
National Bank stock on the court
house pavement at II O'Clock, Tues
day, but as he did not appear Col.
iChas A. Little, knowing MIR. Burk-
hart to be prompt man in all bust
ness affairs, surmised that MIR. Burk-
hart was sick OF. something was
wrong. Together with Chief Barber
he investigated, climbing through a
window into the house, discovering
Mr.. Burkhart to be dead. They found
the gas stove lighted and gas jet
over the table burning 1t is suppos-
ed that gas escaped either from the
jet or the stove and that Mr.. Burk-
hart was slowly affected by the fumes
while he was sitting at the table
reading a newspaper. From appear
ances he had just entered the house
from the street and sat down to read
Evidently feeling the effect of the
gas he must have gotten up and
started toward the door leading in
to the hallway, where he fell. All
indications point to the fact that Mr..

clares that Austria in 1917 made des

Germany the empires, richest coal

would surrender Alsace-Lorraine.
Count Czernin added that Aus
trials efforts always were defeated
by either Won Ludendoff, the Ger

er high German officials, who even
went to the extenet of asserting that
they were willing to declare war or
