NEW FELT HATS FOR SUMMER
Sole Trimming Consisting Of Tinsso
Cord Worn by Army oh''eers Adds
Glitter Of War.

There is no doubt that we are goink
to glitter and glisten this year as did
the fighters of the tenth and eleventh
centuries, advises a style expert. The
milliners have blazed the way for this.
for, as the student of dress well knows.
one cnn build up rather good pro-
gram Of new fashions for gowns and
wraps by what the milliners exploit
In head coverings.
And when you see new felt hats ex-
plotted on all sides. with their sole
trimming consisting Of the tinsel cogd
worn by American officers. you will
realize that the glitter Of war Is to be
put into the autumn costumery.
Felt hats. by the way. are very
smart for summer. They may keep
away the incoming velvet hat which

GREAT BRITAIN DAY

CHIPS in sufficiency spell victory"
says Ralph A. Graves in recent
issue of the Geographic Maya
zine, and to Great Britain's early
grasp of this truth the world owes
to-day its freedom from the domin-
ion of the Hun. In other words, the
greatest contribution of any nation
to the winning of the war was the
British navy and British merchant
marine. without either or both, the
war probably would have been lost
to the. Allies and America left open
to invasion.
So, for this reason, If for no other,
we may all join heartily in celebrat-
ing Britain Day, next Saturday.
There are Americans whose linn
tied school-history knowledge of
Britain distorts their judgment of
the nation as a whole. These few
do not know that a majority of Eng
lishmen openly opposed the War of
1875 with the Colonies and had
no sympathy with King George, old
German kaiser that he was, in his
Hun-like attitude toward the liberty
loving Americans. That England
learned her lesson in colonial gov
ernment as a result of the American
Revolution is evident from a glance
at Canada, Australia and other COM
ponent parts of the British Empire,
league of nations held together by
mutual respect, honesty and fair
play.
Which brings us again to Great
Britain's part in the war with Ger
many. 1t was an English army that
held the Huns until Joffre could mar
the Marne. 1t was England who
forged an army while she fought.
1t was Canadian troops who saved
the Channel ports, and Australian,
Scottish, Irish, Indian and Welsh
who held the battleline in France
while America prepared. English
transports carried our men across
and kept communications open in
the face Of the submarine. English
losses were greater than the total
of all our army in France. England
fed and financed Belgium. England
helped save Italy, reclaimed the Holy
Land and the Near East. smashed
the Hun scheme for Mitteieuropa
and drove the Gefmans from Africa.
Britain's part in the war was a great
one. from the moment of her self
sacrificing entrance to defend a weak
nation sorely beset to the day of her
glorious triumph. We do gracious
and just thing in Joining her in
J celebrating.

EDMOND ROSTAND
[From the Philadelphia Pressl

[From the Philadelphia Pressl
The death of Edmond Rostand
leaves but one outstanding literary
figure in France-Anatole France.
And in the judgment of the vast
majority. Rostand will be deemed
the greater of the two.
Anatole France, with all his erudi-
tion and SURPRISING literary skill,
merely continued the classical
French tradition of brilliant cyni-
cism, ironic raillery, wit, skepticism,
negation. But Rostand brought
something new to. modern French
letters-sincerity, nobility of pur-
pose, passion. He taught his
countrymen not to be ashamed of
their emotions He planted IDEAL
ism where cynicism had grown; he
brought romance into the field
where only brutal realism had -four
ished; he even reaped religion from
the barren weeds OF atheism.
90 much he gave to France, and
in his lifetime was duly honored
for It. To the whole world he gave
literature that ranks high among
the best of dramatic poetry.
"Cyrano de BerserAe," tho play
which impressed his countrymen
more than any other play since
Victor Hugo's day, impressed the
rest OF the world scarcely less
deeply. 'I'Alglon" and 'Chanti-.
clAer" complete the trio of dramatic
works which VIII be read and acted
as long, perhaps as the stage en-
dures. -

FAREWELL, DR.. GARFIELD

DR. GARFIELD has gone back to
- his college, and we hope he may
have a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year and like his old
haunts so we'll he'll never banker
again for Washington. DIR. Garfield
was honest and sincere. But he was
ever a square plug in round hole,
and there are many who believe we
would have been just as warm last
winter without Federal Fuel Ad-
ministrator to make us hot under
the collar. His "fuelless days" were
a grotesque mistake and his restric-
tions and regulations greatly in
creased the cost to the consumer,
while they did not apparently greatly
increase the supply of coal. DR.. Car
field has gone, but he has left few
reminders of his sojourn in the shape
of coalpiles suffering from anaemia
and fuel bills that cause their pos
SCISSORS to wonder If after all 1t
wouldn't be best to let the furnace
fire die out and end it all by slowly
freezing to death.

A CHRISTMAS WALK

In silvery softness the anthem
closed .-...r
Like a slowly silenced bell;
The sacred calm of a peace divine
Like benediction fell;
And out on the morning light that
spread
A glimmeI' of amber gray,
walked with Margery home from
church
On an old, old Christmas Day.
A bland, mild day--for the rugged
S. month g..
Had chosen kindly mood, ~
Like q wonderful mellow aftermath
From the Autumn's plenitude.
With scarcely u tang of wholesome
49, cold
Did the Winters breezes blow,
AS Margery walked from church
with me So. .......
On a Christmas long ago.
The earnest words that had touched
our hearts
The warnings, kindly and wise
Had left a shadow of tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes;
The merry, hoydenish maid I'd
known
for q tWelVemontn nylnB space
Had taken, on that old Christmas
Day,
A new and womanly grace.
AS through the tremulous opal
a. clouds ......
That shifted and swayed apart.
A sun ray lighted the rosy face,
The wish. was born in my heart
That down the trail of the unspent
years,
whatever their trend might be,
The soft-eyed maiden beside me
then ~
Might walk to the end with me.
Absently watching the velvet fakes
By the white gale set a-wing,
breathe the spirit of other years
While the bells of Yuletide ring;
And near me, smiling with happy
eyes
At our children's romping play,
Is the girl who walked from church
with me
On that old, sweet Christmas Day.

ACADEMY LEADS WAY

TIME appearance of the smartly
uniformed students of the Har-
risburg Academy Cadet Corps is
the first local manifestation of the
force with which the importance of
military training has impressed itself
upon the educators of the country.
Military training is not synonymous
with militarism. Quite the contrary,
indeed. Military training makes for
good health, discipline and ability to
obey as we'll as to command.
DIR. Browns students are one step
ahead of those of other institutions
of the kind in Central Pennsylvania,
but it is likely that the Academy will
not long stand alone. There should
be a battalion OF cadets in this city
made up from the high schools. the
parochial schools and the Academy.
They could I'LL the place of the old

THE WIDOW or NATIONS

. From the Watchman Magazinel
The narrowing reports that con
tinue to come from Armenia and
Syria have led to plans. for q nation
wide campaign to raise a relief fund
of $S0.00o,060 during the week of
January, IL to 10, 1918.
The stories of suffering in these
regions could hardly be credited
were they not substantiated by men
and women who have seen the con-
.ditions as they are. They tell of
cities like Teheran, with a popula-
ltion of $4,000 where two-thirds of
the people are starving,-the streets
dotted here and there with the dead
and dying They tell of mothers
mothers whose husbands were torn
from them and murdered by the.
Turks, mothers who were subjected
to humiliation and unspeakable tor
ture and driven out into the burn
ing deSert,-now, after long and un-
availing sacrifice to preserve the
lives of their children, forced to
sell them In order to save them
from starvation. .s..
So desperate is the hunger in
some districts that the blades of
wheat and barley are eaten as soon
as they appear above ground.
Typhoid and typhus ana dysentefy
and cholera are prevalent. The
emaciated forms of many OF the
refugees are covered only by rags,
or pieces of gunny. sacks
The call for $30,000.000 is only
that the number of refugees access
i'ble, about $4,000 out of nearly
1000, 900, may receive an individual
appropriation of five dollars per
month, or seventeen cents q day.
The American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief regard
this as the smallest sum they could
name, barely to maintain the lives
of these homeless, starving masses.
We are sure that the sympathy of
the United States will be aroused
by the story of these unfortunate
people, most of whom are fellow
Christians. AS in every other call
that has been made to our nation,
let US once more "go over the top.

Chance For EDery American

In no time in the worlds history
has the word Democracy been more
significant than it Is to-day, and
now comes the definition of what
the term means to Americans, by
Franklin X. Lane, Secretary of the
Interior. We quote from an article
in "Everybody's" for December.
Democracy essentially means that
man shall be given his chance
first. his chance to get an education;
second, his chance to prove himself
in making himself by character and
by ability economically Independent.
Our competitive system between in
dividuals must continue ifTthe race
is to improve. We must make clear
that in democracy men do not fall
down to q common level, but con-
stantly rise by only having to prove
that they are better in character
and ability than others; we must
make clear that in democracy there
can be no interfering sovereignty
or race or caste or aristocracy, that
no wall shall be put UP which a
man can not scale or overcome by
character and ability, and also
make clear that democracy does
not mean the abolition OF oil social
lines, because those are based large
Iy upon common tests, artistic, for
instance, or social" ~

What the Loss of ALSace-
Lorraine Will Mean to Gern1anu
The Source of Her Iron and Steel Industries

to say just how the German iron
and steel industry, the. cornerstone
of the empires industrial achieve
ment, would be affected by the loss
of this rich province. Power to con-
duct future war would at all events
be curtailed. What we 10 know is
that the German iron manufacture
ers' association urgntly petitioned the
government last December not to re-
linquish even the iron deposits of
that part of the district which was
not annexed in 1871, and which in
1917 was held by the German army.
Concerning Germanys colonies,
not much more need be said to-day
than that they represent a motor
iously mismanaged estate, in behalf
of whose future welfare, if the case
were one of private enterprise, the
previous management would be at
once and summarily removed. For
this, as, for many other factors
bearing on the future, We must await
the verdict of the, peace conference.
Perhaps we shall then be able to
foresee more clearly what industrial
and economic future is actually in
store for Germany.-Alexand Dana

SYMBOL RAZED

TFrom the Cleveland Plain DealerJ
Antagonism to Germany has been
EXPRESSED in many ways by many
nations. and now China has just
added it's own peculiar example of
animosity. The impressive Won
Ketteler monument in Peking is be-
ing taken down and its sections dis
dainfully carted away from the spot
where for many years it has been
a constant reminder of German
force and German arrogance.
In the Boxer uprising of 1900
Baron Won Ketteler German min
lister to China, was killed, several
of the legation buildings in Picking
were destroyed, and zoo foreign
refugees were besieged in struc-
ture occupied by the British min
lister. They were rescued by an
Allied relief expedition. After the
amount of indemnity due from
China to the nations which had suf-
fered loss from the acts of the in
surgents had been fixed, the Won
Getteler memorial was erected under
compulsion of the German govern
ment. It consisted of a marble
arch, which spanned Hatama street,
a leading thoroughfare in the. Tar
tar, or inner city, and is said to
have involved an outlay of half
million dollars. There it's shadow
has fallen across the passing throng.
a symbol of inexorable power and
of naughty disregard for the feel
ings of sister nation.
Now the hated reminder of an
unhappy and deeply regretted in
cident is coming down. With it
falls the terrorism that the Ger
man autocracy inspired in the
Chinese breast.
