to the hospitals there. The Crimea
surgeons objected and reminded her
that she was superintendent of the
nursing staff in Turkey, and the Cri-
mea was in Russia. But she went
nevertheless.
Stricken by the Camp Fever.
She set to work reforming, as she
had done at Scutari, but she had done
very little when she herself was struck
down with fever.
She was carried to a hut immedi-
ately behind those of the soldiers: In
England the news of her illness Gre
ated a sensation as profound as If
great battle had been lost. She was
very near death, yet she managed to
pull through, but she recovered, with
her beautiful black hair cut off, look
ing like the ghost of her former self.
When she was well enough she was
taken back to Scutari feeble, unable
to feed herself or to speak above
whisper, but she would not go home.
She worked on until the last British
soldier had left the hospital and the
war was over.
At home by this time she had become
national heroine. Hundreds of
poems were written about her; pamph-
lets describing her life were sold in
the street. Her face was stamped on
pottery, on tradesmen's paper bags.
on showmen's booths, on notepaper in
thousand homes. Lifeboats, emf
grant ships, children, streets, waltzes,
race horses were named after her.
She hated it all, but one thing pleased
her-the founding of a Nightingale
fund. which she was to spend as she
liked.
Started Many Great Reforms.
Her fund grew to over 100000, and
with this money behind her she estab-
lished training school for nurses and
began many great reforms. She set her
self to reform entirely the health ar
engagements of the army, not only in
time of war but in peace; for she was
able to show that horrible as were
the civil hospital records, the death
rate among soldiers in peace time was
twice as high as among civilians.
She turned her attention to the
workhouse system Of hospital nursing
and cleansed it of its horrors, and
finally she assailed the entire hospital
system of the country. She became
the Lady of the Lamp indeed; she be-
came the high priestess of light and
air. She founded modern nursing, and
all the great nursing associations and
all the Red Cross societies throughout
the world have spread from her work.
Yet all this time Florence Nightin-
gale was an invalid. She never recov-
cred from the hardships and overwork
of the Crimea. For over half CEN
fury she was q chronic sufferer. She
lived out of sight of the public, and
very often out of the sight of friends !;
but cabinet ministers would go to see
her. architects building new hospitals
or barracks or schools consulted her.
From all lands appeals came for her
help, and she denied her aid to none.

Take a quarter of a cup OF nice

with any good boiled dressing or
mayonnaise is especially good, using
q spoonful of the dressing at a time
mixing well until thoroughly blended
and enough of the dressing is added
to cover the flavor of the cheese. This

covered by mere man as containing
anything but legitimate materials or
dinarily found in the average salad

"BE 1T RESOLVED"
philadelphia North Americana

OF the many varieties of admins
tration politics that are being played
in Washington, the most reprehen-
sible is the deliberate campaign
waged to make it appear that this
nation is made up largely OF disloy-
alists, pacifists and slackers, who
were finally forced to do their duty
by a far-seeing, patriotic, Demo-
cratic leadership. The promoters of
this campaign include not only self
seeking politicians of the baser sort,
but members of the cabinet and 9TH
ers who have the confidence of the
President.
Soon after America entered the
war the Wilson partisans began to
make a case" to camouflage the
record of evasion which the admin
istration had made. In speeches and
in political articles they eulogized
the Presidents patience and
foresight" in deferring the declara-
tion. HE was waiting" said a dis
tinguished publicist, ito see how fast
and how far the American people
would keep pace with him and stand
up to any action that he proposed"
The only color of justification for
the impression Washington seeks to
convey is that, out of their senti-
ment of loyalty and respect for the
Presidency. the American people
permitted their judgment to be over
come by the mistaken counsels
which so long emanated from the
White House. There was at work
during those lamentable months a
powerful propaganda of pro-Ger-
manism in the United States, vir-
A1I@ 49, lNxr I,a.tY ate-f,-
tion. There was also a small but
vociferous element of pacifism,
whose agitation derived Importance
from the fact that it was represent
ed in the cabinet. But the vast
masses of the people were animated
by a sturdy Americanism and stood
ready for months to answer the
summons of hesitating leadership,
as they showed by their enthusiastic
approval of every utterance by the
President upholding the nations
rights
1t is with profound respect for
the good qualities of President Will
son that we suggest, in his interest
and in that of the country, a change
in the nature of the resolutions
which are being adopted by so many
public assemblages. Instead of the
needless appeal to the people and
belief that he will stand by the peo-
Pile: that he will be strong in the
faith, resolute to consider no COM
promise with evil, infiexible against
any inconclusive peace, howsoever
it may be urged by plausible states
men or visionary enthusiasts or
voices in the air; that he will seek
the fullest cooperation with the ma
tions which have a moral kinship
with America, and implacably war
upon those which plot the destruc-
ton of liberty; that he will. in a
word, make the great force of his
personality and position the instru-
ment of the spirit of the American
people, which is now. and always has
been, resolved upon a peace with
victory.

For Governor of Pennsylvania

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.]
1t is not at all necessary to call
the attention of the citizens of Penn
sylvania to the length, breadth and
depth of the gulf which separates the
campaigns of William G. SprouI and
Judge Bonniwell for governor.
There is no comparison between
the two. Senator Sproul lifts his
candidacy upon high plane of SER
vice to the nation and state. With
him the first of all considerations is
to win the war, to support it to the
annihilation of autocracy, and then
to face Ihe industrial and business
problems, which will be of so serious
q nature when peace is declared
With Bonnlwell it is Democratic
leadership. 1t isn't Germany or the
vast interest of Pennsylvania that
bother him nearly so much as par
tisan quarrel with pair of bosses
who want to control the Democratic
party organization machinery in the
state.
There is chaos in the Democratic
ranks in Pennsylvania. We hear
very much about liars and traitors
and the like. The Bonniwell parti-
sans and the Palmer and Mccormick
partisans are staging a cut-throat
farce-comedy while the state is call
ing upon It's best to support the ma
ton at war.
The Democratic spectacle is neith-
er edifying nor amusing. 1t is dis
gusting. But it is succeeding ad-
mirably in proving the utter unfitness
of' the Democratic party to govern
Pennsylvania.
1t is most fortunate that in Sena-
tor Sproul there is a candidate FOR
governor who is not only equal to the
emergency, but is splendidly fitted
to conduct the affairs of state. The
duties and responsibilities which will
confront the next governor will be
studendous. They can be intrusted
to Senator Sproul in full confidence.

The Tramp Of Marching Feet
[Kansas CitY Timesl ]

If the Kaiser and his war lords
listen to-day they may hear the
tramp of myriads of feet-the tramp
of the new armies gathering in
America to meet the challenge to
civilization that ISSUED from Berlin
four years ago.
America met the challenge last
year by the registration of the bulk
of it's young men. To-day it proves
it's determination by going deeper
into the industrial life of the Nation
and registering not only the boys,
but the older and established men,
the men who normally are in charge
of the larger share of the country $
activities.
1t takes this action, not grudging-
ly, not under conpulsion, but freely,
enthusiastically. The men who go
to the registration booths to-day are
ready and eager to undertake any
service that will hasten the end of
the nightmare of Prussianism that
has descended on the world.
There is no spirit of levity in the
millions who thus place themselves
at the disposal of the cause of civili-
zation to-day. They have counted
the cost and they pay 1t willingly
That government of the Hohenzol-
lerns, by the war lords for German
dominion, shall perish from the
earth!

KAHN PRAISES Y. NJ. C.. A.

In a letter received by George w.
Perkins, Otto IL. Kahn, the banker,
who has recently completed a tour of
the French front, sets forth his i'm
preSSionS of the work at the front Of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, the knights of Columbus, the
Jewish Welfare Board, and the Sal
vation Army.
According to Mr.. Kahn, the war
work associations are doing wonders
to maintain the morale of the Ameri-
can soldiers and to bring them some
thing akin to home in the war-rent
world in which they are fighting. His
letter reads:
THE feeling of the long distance
separating the soldiers from home
to probably the one hardest to get
accustomed TO and to overcome ior
the splendid fellows who are so vali-
antly and admirably defending our
cou1try's honor and safety and the
highest possessions of the civilized
world. The Young Mems Christian
Association, with the vast ramiflca-
tions of its beneficent activity every
where in Europe where our army is
fighting, training, or resting, is in a
position to do. and is doing more,
spiritually and actually than prob
ably any other agency now at work
to give to our boys something akin to
a home, something which brings the
sweet and eagerly welcomed touch
of American surroundings and at
mosphere into the strange and unac-
customed world in which they are
moving for the time being"

We Shall Not Break Faith

You are the mother of a son with

comes to you that the Germans are
ready for q Just peace. This whisper
may come from a neighbor, or it may
come in print, or in some other way.
The neighbor, or the author of the
lines in print, may be only foolish,
or he may be a sympathizer with
Germany. Your son is beyond the
Flanders crosses, row on row, along
the danger line, facing the exploding
shells and poison gas of the unpity-
ing enemy. Other men in his COM
pany have been killed. Perhaps you
would be more than human If you
did not at least listen to these whis-
pers. Perhaps it is not strange if
you are tempted to believe, and to
say, I'VE must make the just peace
the Germans are willing to accept"
Not strange!-with peace your boy
comes home, without it he stays to
face the exploding shells and the
poison.
But what of the son of another
mother who sleeps in Flanders
fields? I'VE are the dead" If ne
could speak, would he say, Let
them have their peace? The an

HELPFUL CRITICISM

10th Senator, Beidleman and
n Auditor General Snyder spoke
at length before a gathering of
Republicans in Harrisburg Monday
evening upon the importance of
helpful, constructive criticism in the
conduct of the war. They dwelt
upon the beneficent effects of pub
licity upon the actions of men in
public life, with especial reference
TO the present administration, and
all they said is true. They might
have quoted many instances.
For example. on the very day that
the Senate passed the prohibition
amendment to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill the President and
his advisers got together and con-
cluded that the manufacture of beer
is bad thing and ought to be
stopped. Forthwith an order was
issued prohibiting such manufacture
after December 1 next, all very good
of itself.
The Executive action in this case
recalls to mind many similar in
stances in the past When the air
craft program began to lag last win
ter, and 1t was seen that millions of
dollars OF the peoples money was
being wasted, serious charges were
made in the Senate against certain
officials, and the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs began an investigation
OF the whole aircraft situation. Bow
ing to the inevitable the President
directed the Attorney General to
start a similar inquiry.
The Senate Committee filed a re-
port, the chief recommendation of
which was that all production and
operation of aircraft should be
placed under a single head. The
pressure for the adoption of that re-
form became so great that Mr.. Will
sen was forced to act to save his
face, and John d. Ryan was clothed
with supreme authority over all mat
ters relating to our air program.
But months before the aircraft
agitation 1t became evident that
there was little coordination among
the various war activities of the gov
ernment in the purchase of sup
plies. Duplication of orders resulted,
and real competition sprang up as
TO which Bureau could pay the high
est price and obtain the goods which
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-09-18

several others were after. The Re-
publicans in Congress insisted that
Committee on the Conduct of the
War should be appointed, whose
principal duty would be to see that
the enormous appropriations made
for war purposes were expended to
the best advantage. Again the Pres
ident saw the wave of public senti-
ment, and appointed Mr.. Stettinius,
of New York, to correlate all pur-
chases of material and supplies so
that each department should get the
benefit of the best prices.
In all of these matters Mr.. Will
son has refused to act until induced
by agitation in Congress-. Although
the need of those reforms had been
apparent for long time. it was not
until the Senate or House was on
the eve of taking decisive action that
the President stepped in and sub
stituted plan of his own. He knows
that Congress reflects the will of the
people, and that it would not con-
tribute to his political welfare to have
it appear that he had refused to
give heed to their wishes.
Anyone who doubts the wisdom
of helpful, constructive criticism of
the administration, in Congress and
out, should consider the numerous
fundamental changes that have been
made in our military policy and pro-
gram since our entrance into the
war. In the majority of instances he
will find that they have first been
brought forward in the Halls of Con-
gress, and vigorously supported by
public opinion, before they have been
adopted by those in executive au-
thority.
