Foch's Coming BloD

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer
At the proper time, therefore, we
may expect General Foch to deal his
blow. When that will be, there are,
of course, no intimations. AS yet
the Germans have much greater
forces. AS long as they can be held
after a reasonable yielding of terri
tory, it does not appear necessary for
Foch to resort to general offensive.
That the Germans are bending every
effort to force a determination this
summer is perfectly plain. They
are awake at last to the importance
of the interference of the United
States. 1t may be, therefore, that
the day is not distant when the Allies
will be obliged to turn upon them
and throw every pound of strength
into an offensive movement. But it
may be regarded as fairly certain
that this day will be postponed until
avoidance is no longer possible, for
time is a great factor in this strug-
gle. 1t fights against the German and
in our favor.

Success Of ConDoy System
[From the Boston Globel


When the Germans turned loose
their fleet of metal sharks the first
protection which occurred to his
torical memories was the time-hon-
ored system of conveys. 1t is as old
as the Napoleonic campaigns, as old
as the Anglo-Spanish struggle for
the Americas, as old as Rome and
Phoenicia-in short, as old as piracy.
1t was such an obvious move that
failure to adopt it instantly was hard
to explain. I" +Since then, however,
the convoy system has been abun-
dainty elaborated, and beyond all the
dreams of the theorists. Escorted
fleets are being given rather a wide
berth by the German U-boats, which
are obliged to take their Chances"
at picking up small unconvoyed ves-
sells, rather poor business for the i'm
perial German navy. 1t arouses our
disgust quite as much as our ire.
Conveys of transports are also di-
vided into groups of slow and fast
ships, so that the speed of the whole
unit may not be reduced to that of
the slowest vessel. This maneuver-
ing is supplemented by variety of
antisubmarine devices; the zigzag
course, the hydroairplane for scout
ing, the small submarine chaser, the
arming of merchant ships, camou-
fage painting, black petroleum
spread on the sea to cloud the peris-
cope glass, listening devices, the
depth bomb, the smoke screen. A
year has sufficed to improvise an al
most wholly new technique of sea
fighting.

SUPREME COURT
LWilkes-Barre Record. ]


Charles B. Lenahan's announce
ment of his candidacy for the SUI
preme Court of Pennsylvania is of
much local interest. Luzerne has
not been represented on the Supreme
bench for sixty years, since the time
of Justice Woodward, though Lu-
zerne and adjoining counties contain
a large percentage of the states
population and the character Of
many of the cases sent up from this
section requires a clear understand
ing of local mining conditions.
Two candidates are to be elected
next fall. and in such case the Con-
stitution requires that each voter
may vote for only one candidate.
The purpose of the trainers of the
Constitution was to have minority
representation, but the nonpartisan
law prohibits political designation,
so that there is no positive assur-
ance that the successful majority and
minority candidate will be of oppo-
iite political faiths. If the late
Justice Meztrezat, who was the only
Democrat on the bench, Is to be sue
ceeded by a Democrat, it will be
either by accident or by some under
standing among the party leaders.

RIGHT WITH GOD

Q tue EuHOT OF We eIeBfdPH.
If space permits please publish the
following:
was glad to see in the last nights
paper that the ministers in Harris
burg have taken a stand against the
mailing of the Kaiser, and other
erroneous practices. In reading
about those practices at various
times it brought back to my mind
my Normal school days. when we
boys did what we thought was great
and sometimes funny, such as writ
ing funny things on the blackboard.
To correct us one of the professors
wrote above or underneath our writ
ing in large letters "The Work of
Primarians." We soon knew what
it meant and we cut it out. To
win this war we as a nation must
get right with God and that not
from an outward appearance. We
must be devoted in expressing our
religious beliefs in a practical way
as our forefathers did in the Declara-
ton of Independence. We must hold
the truth they established to be self
evident: "That all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalien-
able rights; that among those are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness." We must not forget what
Washington said along this line.
"The continuation of this nation de-
pends upon the intellectual, moral
and religious training of the young"
True religion affords government
the surest support"
Listen how Lincoln expressed his
trust in God. 'I am not so much
concerned whether God is on my
side as that am on his side" And
how he expressed himself in his Sec
ond inaugural address near the end
of the Civil War: with malice

is PRIMARY A MENACE?

A GAIN the primary election has
~ demonstrated fundamental
weaknesses in the nominating
system adopted few years ago.
Pennsylvania is not the only state
displaying dissatisfaction with the
system in use and demanding a
change. The direct primary was
proposed as an electoral reform fol-
lowing a wave of protest over the
abuses of the convention system, but
1t is now a question whether the
abuses of the old order were half
so serious as the evils of the new
procedure.
As an illustration, the vote on the
nominees for the Supreme Court
shows how Indifferent ana careless
the people are in choosing candi-
dates for this important public SER

But, Why Can't They Vote?
[williamsport Gazette and Bulletin.1

Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin
Speaking in the House of Repre-
sentatives few days ago, Congress
man Pou, of North Carolina, paid
tribute to the loyalty of the colored
people. Said he:
GAS I stand here now can see all
over the South the vine-clad cabins
of this kindly race. They have their
faults, but disloyalty is not among
those faults. In their homes you will
find burning love of country, a
burning love for the flag. From
these little homes throughout the
South responding to their country's
call the young negro men are now
answering, Here; we are ready"
No wonder this tribute was ap-
plauded on both sides of the cham
ber. But it is a wonder that after
paying that tribute the congressman
from North Carolina does not intro
duce and force the passage of legis-
lation which will assure that loyal
negro the right to exercise through
out the South the rights of an Ameri-
can citizen.
Mr.. Pou's party is in power in both
branches of Congress and in the
White House. That party is in power
because 1t counts the negro for the
purpose of securing representation
in Congress but does not permit his
vote to be entered or counted at the
polls.
The South should either permit the
negro to vote or should reduce its
representation in Congress in pro-
portion to the number of citizens
disfranchised.

THE PEOPLES FORUM

toward none, with charity for all,
with firmness in the right as God
gives us to see the right, let us strive
on to finish the work we are in; to
bind up the nations wounds, cherish
just and lasting peace among our
selves and with all nations"
The supreme test of the nation
has come. We must all speak and
work together.
We must not forget that the chief
burden of the war rests upon our
soldiers, sailors and aviators. Then
let our daily prayer be that the day
may soon come when according to
the prophecy of old-"They shall
beat their swords into ploughshares
and their spears into printing
hooks"
When nation shall not lift sword
against nation, neither shall we learn
war anymore.
But that day of peace will not
come until nations and individuals
learn to obey the command of Jesus
to love their neighbors as their selves.
God knows that we are not doing
that. But just as soon as we Will
do that it will have the following
effect:
Families will be more loving, in
dustrial life will be freed from OPP
preston and injustice, political life
in the nation will be purified, we
will treat those from foreign lands
taking UP their homes among us,
as our brethren, nations will love one
another and seek to further one
anothers welfare rather than to In
lure and destroy each other.
The foregoing are only a few of
my ideas regarding the winning of
the war.
Now if any of the readers of the
telegraph doubt my views, I ask
you kindly to search the scriptures
before you criticise me.

MO organization of patriotic and
IN thoughtful men is attracting
more attention than the
League to Enforce Peace. This body
pledges unstinted support to the
commander-in-chief of our army
and navy, the President of the United
States, and to all others in authority
in all measures for victory over the
military power of the Kaiser, realiz-
ing that such victory is the primary
condition of lasting peace and the
necessary basis for League of Ma
tions.
The league, standing for interna-
tional law and justice, declares until
Germany is overcome the paramount
and pressing duty of the United
. States and the other free nations,
with which this country is allied, is
to fight with unconquerable deter
mination for victorious peace.
And, apprehensive of the lure of
an inconclusive peace, which would
enable the present masters of Ger
many to continue their dominion of
Central Europe and sooner or later
to menace again the peace and free
dom of the world, the league feels
that our people should be forwarned,
in case Germany should propose to
make peace on terms that might well
deceive the unsuspecting. Suppose
she should offer to retire from Bel
gium and France; to cede the Tren-
tino to Italy; even to relinquish all
claims to her captured colonies, and
to promise some kind of autonomy to
the various races of Central and
Eastern Europe. Such an offer
would be highly seductive, and IL we
are not prepared to understand what
it means might well beguile the
Allies into a peace which would be
delusive; because unless the prin-
ciple of militarism is destroyed, the
promises would be kept no better
than those broken in the past. Au-
tonomy of other races would mean
their organization for the strength
ening of Germany; until she had
control of the resources of a popula-
ton of two hundred millions for her
next war; and the abandonment of
her former colonies would be made
only with the hope of recoupment in
South America on a more favora Bile
occasion. Such a settlement would
be a mere truce pending a strife
more fierce hereafter. So long as
the predatory militarism is not
wholly destroyed no lasting peace
can be made.
Arrangements have about been
completed for great patriotic rally
next Saturday evening in the hall oi

there should be a great outpouring

twenty years and submit to the re-
quirements of modern war. A new
