ward" for Their Cold Bloodsd
Conspiracy to Terrorise the World
-Danssr Of Too Much Sympathy.

Before the mistaken kindness
some Of us would too soon show to
Germany betrays us into another
war. let . few facts be considered.
The colossal war, just ended, was
a cold-blOOded conspiracy of rob-
berry and plunder, plotted for dur
ing long years of peace by the kais-
er and his people for their own COM
mercial and military aggrandize-
ment and deliberately set going at
what they considered a favorable
moment.
This is the secret of the wide
spread sinking of ships of neutral
nations, of the plots against friend
ly America; of stripping the factor
les of Belgium and France of their
machinery and taking it to Ger
many; of wrecking the factory
buildings; and of the wholesale
murder of thousands of these fac
tory workers and their families. 1t
was intended to bleed white" to
destroy utterly, great part of the
population of Belgiumsand France:
to ruin their farm lands; to wrest
from England its shipping, from
Russia its grain fields, and to Ger
mamie the United States. 1t al
most succeeded.
Since that day in August, 1914,
when Germany set out to pillage
the world, 26 million people have
been sent to their graves or MAIN
ed for life by German kulture. 1t
is estimated that Germany has fas-
tend war debt of 200 billion dol
lars on the world for the next 100
years.
It is inevitable that every dollar
OF this war debt must come out Of
the ground and from the worlds
workers. Thousands of billions of
days work must go into this enOr-
nous rat hole Millions upon mil
lions of men and women must toll
and save all their lives to pay this
debt Also the millions upon mil
lions who are to come after them.
The world has been put in bond
age for q century to pay this stu
pendous debt. The welfare, the
happiness, the business and home
life of persons yet unborn, have to
a great extent been mortgaged be

four years ago to exterminate their
neighb0rs and pillage the world.

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
7armers. Urged by Food Administra
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally cOmbing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
l6,000,O00 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pOund
loaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the U.
5. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
3A per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest poss-
Bile minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired
In numerous instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines We're stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of cOmpulsion We're COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins

the grain threslling campaign to pa

men and their crews. incidentally

ped him at such great cost OF blood
and treasure
When the Hun knew he was whip
ped and -nusi in few days sue
for peace, he still did his utmost to
rayage and destroy the territory
he evacuated. An army order cap
tuled by General Pershing's men
addressed to the 10Sth Brigade of
German infantry, reads:
A recent army order requires that
we shall proceed in the future with
ore method and less haste in the
destruction of property which has
been marked out. Divisions have
already been notified that they will
be held responsible for buildings
not destroyed in their area In
consequence. all preparations must
be made for firing straw which has
been collected.
Here follows long list of villages
to be burned. The order concludes:
All soldiers are bound to assist to
the best of their ability in the exc
cutiOn of this mission. The rear
guard battalion will select the
groups to complete the work of de
structiOn. These detachments will
not set fire to things till a. IN. 1t
will be remembered that there are
means to defile all wells Mines
must not be exploded too soon. 1t
it the duty of every man to cooper
ate in the work of destruction.
In committing these crimes, the
German nation is as guilty as its
leaders. Yet, now that it is at the
mercy of the Allies. its lands are
not being laid waste, nor has one
of tis cities been razed. Nor will
there be. The German people who
and murdered them while they
starved them, will be fed if they
need food, until they can feed them
selves. We stand ready to do our
duty by them, if they are found
to be in need. Isn't this about all
the forgiveness that will be heal
thy just now?
We must not forget that some
sort of an example must be made of
Germany, If we are to stop wars and
have peace on earth, and this can
not be done by overlooking the
Hun with kindness, either now or
at the peace table. First, it is up to
Germany to show some measure of
repentance, If not of gratitude, to
those to whom it showed no mercy
and would not now if the situation
were reversed The allies are ask
ing merely that Germany play the
man. That it settle for a part of
the damage it has done, when and
how it may. 1t can never pay in
full. That Germany submit to re
strictiOns which will, it is hoped,
prevent it from ever again attack
ing the world, or it's own neighbors;
and that no gain shall accrue to it
from it's war of greed, lust and
spoilation. A few deeply wronged
small countries and peoples are to |
be given their freedom in the inter
est of human rights and world
peace. These are the terms. They
could hardly be more moderate, and
they ought not to be.
If, in the course of years, the Ger
man nation has shown it intends
to keep the peace and be a good
neighbor, then it will be time
enough to admit it to the society
of those it has so terribly wronged.
But let this forgiveness follow re.
pentence and restitution, as it |
should. In the meantime Germany
must carry it's full and appropri-
ate share of the worlds burden
it was responsible for creating.

BAcKAcHE IS A WARNING
Holly People Should Not Neglect
Their Kidneys

Backache is often natures most
frequent signal of weakened kid
neys. To relieve the pains and
aches, to remove the lameness when
it arises from weakened kidneys,
you must reach the cause.-The kid
neys. II you have pain through
the small of your back, urinary dis
orders, headaches, dizzy spells, or
are nervous and depressed, start
treating the kidneys with tested
kidney remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been
proved good and are especially for
weak kidneys. Doan's have been
used in kidney trouble for over SO
years. Here is convincing proof
of merit. 1t comes from this To-
cality.
c. w. Walter, locomotive engine
er, 1927 E. Sixth St., Pueblo, Colo,
says: Il had great deal of kid
ney trouble which l supposed was
caused by the jarring and jOlting
of the engine, and over-work. My
head ached, my sight blurred and
my kidneys acted too frequently.
I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills
and bought some and they gave
me splendid relief In q short
time every symptom of kidney
trouble and backache disappeared
I had no more headaches or trouble
with blurred sight, either. I take
Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally
now and they keep my kidneys in
good condition"

OUR CIVIC DUTY

"HE Telegraph has frequently re-
ferred to the fact that there
should be no let down in our
municipal and civic activities during
the war; that neglect of our parks
and Fairgrounds and the other things
which have been created at great eX-
pense cannot be justified on the
ground that these are not war
necessities" Just the other day the
newspapers contained story of the
dedication of a new bridge over the
River Rohn at Lyons, France. This
bridge was built since the war be-
gan and parallels an older bridge
named in honor of Lafayette. The
new bridge will be named Wilson in
honor of our president.
Manifestly, the French people are
not going to neglect their ordinary
municipal activities and interests on
account of the war. Nor should
Harrisburg be led into error in this
respect. We have an admirable
City Planning Commission, which
should go right along with it's con-
structive work. to the end that the
period Immediately following the
war may be characterized by unu-
sual activity in the working out of
plans now being considered for the
future growth and development of
the city.
Too often failure to do the things
that ought to be done is excused be-
cause officials prefer not to be both
cred" with the important work of
making a city wholesome and at
tractive. Their vision is limited
when they fail to realize. that re-
sponsibility does not cease with rou-
tine tasks.

A FRONT IN RUSSIA

"HERE is good sense in what
former President Taft says about
the situation in Russia. Either
we must create a front" in the East
or we must be content to permit
Germany to concentrate all her
forces in the West, while she gradu-
ally takes over Russia and makes 1t
a part of the great Central Empire
to which she aspires.
Furthermore, 100000 American
and allied troops in Russia would
be worth a million on the west
front, for Germany would have to
withdraw at least that number of
troops from the west line to guard
the numerous approaches and the
long border which the Russians
themselves in the early days so con-
stantly threatened.
We must do something in Rus
sia. Instead of coddling the Boil
sheviki of that country we must un-
dertake their overthrow. They are
not popular at home and they are
steadily playing into the hands of
Germany. They preach liberty and
they practice serfdom. They talk
of making their country free and
they sell it into slavery. For the
sake of the Russians themselves. as
we'll as for our own interests. we
must take a hand in affairs in the
East.
The English recognized the i'm
portance of the eastern theater of
war much more quickly than did
any other of the allies, and but for
the victories of General Maude and
the capture of Bagdad, the German
Berlin to Bagdad railway would be
an accomplished fact, carving
steadily to Germany countless cars
of grains and giving that country
another outlet for its submarine
warfare through the Persian gulf.

ManpoWer VIII Decide
kansas City Times.1

The June drafts which bring the
army up to two million men and
more, will help us to understand still
more clearly the nature of the great
contest we are engaged in with the
Germanic powers. 1t is a contest of
manpower. Premier Clemenceau
said in The French chamber: THE
Americans are stalking the game on
the help of the Americans" His
words had a literal meaning. They
meant that the manpower of France
and England was not equal to the
manpower of the central powers and
that only the manpower of America
could turn the scale against them.
The Germans have the summer
before them. Operating on inside
lines and able therefore to make
huge concentrations against the
points selected for attack, they may
be able with these superior numbers
to make continued gains of territory,
paying, of course, what price the
stubborn resistance of the Allies can
exact. This process must, in all like
lihood, go on until American man
power brought into the field swings
the balance in favor of the Allies.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES

TT would be most regrettable If,
through shortage of funds, the
Harrisburg Public Library would
be unable to expand it's work in the
State Capital district this fall. Ac-
cording to- the reports which have
been submitted, the registration for
the privilege of taking out books,
which does not cost a cent to the
patrons of the Library, amounts to
about one-fourth of the population
of Harrisburg. In other words. one
person in every four takes out books
from this institution. The circulation
some months last winter ran as
high as 10000. Ten thousand is re-
ported as not uncommon. And in the
midst of all this circulation there is
notable work being done to make
Americans out of adult and Juvenile
residents of the city. The books
taken to homes of children of for
etgn-born parents constitute a no.
table part of the educational system
Of the city. This has been recognized
by one resident of Harrisburg, who
was so much impressed with what
was being done along this line that
he made a donation for purchase of
hooks on American history and an
other stipulated that Pennsylvania

OUR WAR GOSPEL

~ ECRETARY LANSING, no doubt
rejecting the sentiments OF
~ President Wilson, is preaching
as our gospel of war that we are
fighting the whole German people
that there can be compromise with
Prussianism and that we must ut
terly crush the German beast before
we can consider peace.
That is most excellent doctrine. II
is in direct contradiction with the
belief of the President at the out
start of the war and differs almost
as widely with the thought of the
American people at that time, but
it agrees absolutely with public con-
viction now. There was time when
it was thought in America that the
German people were simply the un-
willing tools of the military party.
We know now how false that was.
We know now that the German peo-
Pile will be willing enough to condone
the frightfulness of their govern
ment and to rob the people of the
world Of their liberty and their be-
Iongings if the Prussian hosts should
be victorious. We know now that the
only way to divorce the German peo-
Pile from their government and show
them the error of their ways is with
a club. Once the German army is
decisively defeated we may look for
4 revolution in Germany-something
after the manner in which pack of
wolves turns upon and rends to
pieces one of it's number when it
falls wounded-but not before.
The American people believe this.
Their confidence in Secretary Lam
sing is increased by his constant
preaching from this text. They want
to go on to the finish of Germany.
They will be content with nothing
ess than complete victory. They are
happy to learn that the administra-
ion is in complete accord with them
On this issue.

THE WORLD BULLY
New York Times.1

Captain Lieutenant Franz Rim
telen, German naval officer, some
time banker one of the most active
and dangerous of German spies in
the United States, is now serving a
term in a New Jersey penitentiary
for conspiring with "Wolf" Lamar
and others to cause strikes in mu-
milton factories. At the expiration
of this sentence he will have two
others to serve, one for getting a
fraudulent passport from the State
Department, one for conspiracy to
destroy Entente food and munition
ships. He has been mixed up in and
the purse-bearer of many German
plots. He is an arrant spy, and would
be shot as a spy were he now to
commit the crimes which he has
committed.
Secretary Lansing's answer to this
bullying note is sharp, strong, blow
in the face. Courage and patriotism,
resolute Americanism, ring from it.
He refuses absolutely even to con-
slider release or exchange or amy in
reference with the due process of
law in this case" He reminds Will
helmstrasse that, while the United
States does not acknowledge the
legitimacy or necessity of "reprisals
occasioning physical suffering" ito
enforce demands from one belliger-
ent to another" 'if Germany acts
upon that principle it will inevitably
be understood to invite similar re-
ciprocal action on the part of the
United States with respect to the
great numbers of German subjects
in this country" Germany can put
that in her pipe and smoke it. So
ingrained and inveterate is her belief
in frightfulness, her habit of bull
doing other nations, that she cannot
give'it up. 1t will be wiser for her
to bully only little nations in future.
The United States, after a long pa
tience, is protecting her rights and
the rights of free civilization with all
her might of men and resources. Is
it to gull honest Michael" worried
over the steady inpour of American
troops into France, that Germany
makes this impudent demand and
threat?
