THE PEOPLES FORUM

important point is: we must release
food, especially wheat for the Allies.
1t is absolutely wrong and un-
patriotic for the churches, the var
ious clubs and other social affairs
to serve sandwiches or cake at their
social meetings, unless the meetings
are taking the place of a regular
meal, for every mouthful we take
more than we need, is a German
bullet against ourselves.
LIE us abolish at once the unne-
cessary eating.
EARNEST ONE"
REPLIES TO MIR. KUSCHWA
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Just what does Mr.. Alfred c.
Kuschwa object to in last Saturdays
Searatto notes?
What was suggested there, and
what was meant to be suggested
there, is that Harrisburg is sacrific-
ing its support of the better things
in music and being turned toward
community singing-and the turning
is being done by musicians. Now,
if we were still supporting a choral
society, and furnishing good au-
diences for every good concert that
is presented, community singing
would not be taking the place of
better things musically, and it would
have a more legitimate field of oper-
alton.
New York has not given up any of
its choral societies or glee clubs, for
the sake of community singing.
Community singing primarily, was
meant to help the poor people in
settlement and tenement; those who
had neither the money or the op-
portunity to hear good music.
If Mr.. Kuschwa will convince me
that the movement here is a sincere
desire to ''uplift humanity" and not
to exploit a few individuals, will
give it my hearty support. Yes, the
Telegraph is prime leader" and
fair, and also knows there are two
sides to every question. / am not
"bemoaning the fate" of community
singing am predicting it. The
community singing that is heard
every Sunday in Church and Sunday
School, is the thing to develop. Here
is the worthy field. Here is the op-
portunity for service. Mr.. Kuschwa's s
use of the word Stacker is ill-advised
and weakens his own argument. 1
was very much afraid Staccato Notes
were not being read, but Mr..
Kuschwa's letter cheers me up.
Sincerely,
JOHN w. PHILLIPS,
Contributor of Staccato Notes.)

Prohibition at the Quarter

Delaware is the ninth state to rati-
fly the Federal prohibition amend
ment. Its Senate acted Affirmative
lively yesterday, the House having
passed the resolution last week
Thus one fourth of the necessary SO
states have ratified the amendment.
OF the nine, four are at present
wet" so there is nothing in the
situation to encourage tho liquor in
terests.
Three more states whose legisla-
lures meet in regular session this
year may act on the amendment
The Massachusetts, lawmakers are
still in session. The Louisiana Leg
islature assemblies in May and that
of Georgia in June. Special ses-
sions will be held in some states. In
South Dakota one opened yesterday
and the Governor of Nebraska has
called one for his state. 1t is reason
able to believe affirmative action will
be taken by Georgia, South Dakota,
and Nebraska, they being dry"
But without speculating on what may
be done in the future, we can feel
certain of ratification within a year.
At the quarter-post prohibition has
such a lead it cannot be headed off.

the great victory If its voters are

tors and representatives in the May

CURTIS-GALLINGER RULE

T HERE is now new rule in the
United States Senate-proposed
by Senator Curtis, of Kansas,
and sponsored on the floor by Sena-
tor Gallinger, of New Hampshire. 1t
provides that hereafter no confer
ence committee may take from a
bill matter which has received the
approval of both Houses of Congress
or insert matter which has never
been passed upon in either branch.
The new rule was promptly in
voked to attack Q provision in the
railroad bill whereby State laws
were overridden which enable State
boards of one kind or another to
fix valuations of railroad property
for purposes of taxation within State
lines; but the fine point was made
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-03-22

that the conference committee had
submitted its report before the rule
was adopted.
Regardless of the niceties of this
situation, we can see where the new
rule will prove valuable. 1t will
prevent a handful of men from
overriding the opinion OF majority
of both Houses, as has often been
the case; and it will apply pitiless
publicity to legislation in very
helpful manner.
If the new rule had been in force
earlier the country might have es-
capped some legislation which has not
proven of great value.

THE GERMAN DRIVE

VVT HETHER or not the German
wv attack, launched yesterday
is the much-heralded "offen-
sive" has not yet developed, but all
friends of the allied cause will
hope that 1t is. 1t is to be hoped
that Germany will put every ounce
of effort into this attack that she
has started. If the British are not
ready to meet such a drive now they
never will be. Every military OBJ
server on the west front expresses
the belief that the allied line will
hold, and that being true, Germany's
last chance of victory in the west
will have faded with the failure of
a grand offensive such as appears
to be at issue. Therefore, the more
Germany puts into this fight the
greater her loss by failure.
Washington observers are not in
clined to believe that the great mo-
ment of the war has come, but there
are some reasons to suspect that the
military leaders of the Central Pow
ers are much nearer the end of their
string than appears on the surface
and that after all they may be will
ing to take gamblers chance of
breaking through the almost impreg-
nable line in France.
For example, late reports from
the interior of Germany indicate that
the masses are more at odds with
the government than at any time
since the war began. The expecta-
tions of the people for food relief
from Russia have not materialized.
Austria is known to be bankrupt
and unable to continue the war many
months on her own resources. ia
pan is becoming impatient, condi-
tions in Russia despite the peace
treaty are chaotic and America is
getting into the war more vigorously
every day. These unpleasant facts
may be driving the Germans to one
final great offensive, designed to
smash the west front and, as the
Kaiser says, clear the way for peace.
If this decision has been reached,
therefore, it is important that the
Germans play their top cards. If
the allies are able to draw from
them their last trumps on the west
front they will continue thereafter to
play steadily losing game to the
end of the war. Whether they real
ize it or not, the supreme moment
of the war" is at hand, and this
irrespective of whether the grand
offensive develops at this time or
not. They must win soon or be
beaten. 1t was never so true as at
the present that time fights on the
side of the allies"
We must not lose heart over a few
German gains. AS war is conducted
in France to-day any attack on a
large scale is bound to result In
some gains, no matter which side
launches it, but as the allies them
selves have found to their sorrow, it
is next door to impossible to break
through entirely. The allied lines will
hold at last, never fear of that, as
they held before Paris, at Ypres and
at Verdun, and IL the Germans push
their attack to the inevitable con-
clusion they will have played their
last trump card.

We print elsewhere a spiel from
our friend Bloom of the Lakeland
Star. We take melancholy pleasure
in printing the same, because we see
by it that Bloom, who has often slam
med US in the Stats for criticising the
governor, shows signs of becoming
some little criticiser of the executive
himself. According to Blooms argu-
ment, the governor thinks he can en-
nance his popularity in Polk county
by disregarding Blooms wishes; yet
Bloom is positively certain that Polk
county people are with him. We will
suspend judgment on the peoples
views until the returns are all in; in
the meantime we congratulate Bloom
on his somewhat belated discovery
that Cats is as selfish as any other
politician, and that he will sacrifice
any old friend if he thinks he can
thereby gain two new ones.

Mr.. Woodrow Wilson isn't what
you might call popular with Con-

ways has his ear to the ground to try
to find out if he is popular with the
folks back home, while Mr.. Wilson
acts like he doesn't care whether
either he or a congressman is popular
or not, SO long as the congressman
votes for the bills Mr.. Wilson thinks
are necessary. Probably the only
reason why Congress doesn't rebel
