MORE GOOD WORK

NCORE another point to the credit
~ of the City Planning Commits
sion. The dedication of the italian
Park tract by the McKee-Graham
estate to the city is a distinct
triumph for the Commission, since
it was the survey by the commits
sion's engineer that convinced the
owners of the wisdom of giving
their land to the municipality This
is in line with the Commissions re-
cent achievement in procuring title
to river frontage along the West
Shore and near Lucknow, and like
the work of the old Park Commits
sion in securing the land along Front
street, it makes for a better and more
beautiful city. The Commission in
proposing to turn an ugly. mosquito
breeding swamp into beautiful lake
of flowing fresh water is both ar
tistic and practical.

States Great Fight in
Epidemic Historical Event

The service of the Militia during
the influenza epidemic has not been
told and it has gotten scant recog-
milton from official quarters, but its
record glows as it is uncovered and
the service given by men who left
work and business and homes and
although worn out by hours and
hours of continuous duty exposed
themselves to infection will some
day be properly remembered. The
Reserve Militia in its epidemic serv-
ice, so sudden and so unforeseen by
the men who compose the ranks,
but who went out as volunteers, has
made itself q fitting successor to the
Pennsylvania National Guard. 1t
was not ative service Of the kind pro-
vided for, but it was very active
while ii lasted,
Records of the service of members
of the Militia which are now being
compiled at Adjutant General
Beary's department, show that pos
siply fifth of the members volun-
teered for duty and hundreds did
service in hospitals, handling sup
plies and aiding doctors, including
acting as chauffeurs for doctors and
ambulances. While many of the men
were so engaged in their home dis
tricts, some were sent clear across
the state. All of the medical Off
GERS, two sanitary detachments and
some p.atoons OF companies were in
service for weeks.
The disaster following the explo-
sion at Halifax gave a warning to
state military authorities which was
followed by General Beary without
many people becoming aware OF it
and during the purchase of equip
ment for the various units of the
Militia provision was made for hos
pital as we'll as military service. EX-
tensive supplies were laid in to cope
with any emergency whether call
ing for attention for wounded or
sick people. The records of the
state arsenal show more than $50
shipments to over 100 places for
either emergency hospitals opened
in schools, armories or other places
or tent hospitals or for local relief.
The latest fgures show that the ar
senal shipped for influenza service
6,219 cots. 9,O65 blankets, 1,778
dozen sheets, 1,122 dozen pillow
cases, g23 mattresses, 80 field ranges
for kitchens, Sc mess tents, 2S
kitchen tents, Al complete hospital
tents, 81 fly hospital tents, 339
pyramidal tents, 16 complete wall
tents with many litters, picks, SHOW
els and other material. These ar
ticles will all be stored in the ar
senal after disinfection.
During the epidemic a number of
the officers and men became i'll and
among the deaths was Captain
II. J. Klaer, of the Chester COM
pany, a son-in-law Of Governor elect
William c. Sproul.

IN BRUSSELS YESTERDAY

[From the New York World1
A royal pair went home yester-
day upon whom a world that has
often little reason to love kings will
hope for the descent and contlnu-
ance of every blessing.
AS nephew of a king, not his dl-
rect heir, Albert of Belgium was
free In youth to go among men and
learn from them. His queen is the
daughter of Bavarian prince who
dropped royal pomp to serve the
poor with his skill as an oculist.
Both proflted by opportunities not
common to royalty. Neither has
failed in the courage or the COM
passion demanded of them by dang
ers and sorrows for which history
has few parallels.
Belgium, core of the war, was
yesterday the high light in it's
righteous ending-the nightmare of
German occupation for a day almost
forgotten. She iss assured of the
worlds good wishes; in them abun-
dantly share O queen who is true
woman and king who has shown
himself first of all a man.

VETH HEN the full story comes to be
Wv written of the way Pennsyl- |

w written s' Of oft the sc'y way sGSs Pennsyl rS
vania fought well on to $780,
600 cases of influenza and the devo-
ton of her doctors, nurses, soldiers
ana officials who ma. shalled volun-
teers and workers in tile face of a
llttle-understood disease that took
death toll of over 1000 per-
sons day in October, one of
the outstanding features will be
the way a body of volunteer cit
liens turned in and helped. Then
II is borne in mind that the
pennsylvania Reserve Militia was
organized to take the place of the
pennsylvania National Guard when
1t went into the war and became the
Iron Division with imperishable
glory of service on the battlefields
OF France, the record of what was
done is remarkab BILE.
The Reserve Militia is COMPOSED
of over $500 men, including some
men of Army and National Guard
service, but many men unused to
military work, men with dependents,
slight physical defects and in neces-
sary places who thought it their
duty to help the state. In the ranks
were also many youths, including
students. II was n body which had
been organized less than a year and
whose ranks had been depleted in
some organizations by enlistment in
the Army or Navy and the draft.
But it gave remarkable service not
as guards but as hospital attend
ants, orderlies and in other capaci-
ties no one would have dreamed of
before the epidemic struck the state.
From Adjutant General Frank ID.
Beary, the directing head, down to
the youngest private in the ranks,
gave up days and nights and ran
risks while the State Arsenal force
labored twenty-four hours at a
stretch to forward cots and tents
and supplies to stricken communi-
ties. Even Benjamin w. Demming,
the chief clerk, had to do yeoman
service and he not only went to
Bowmans department store and
routed out clerks TO secure blankets
and similar things on a Sunday
evening when things were happen
ing. but helped load trucks, when
the clocks were hitting the eleven
o'clock hour. At the Arsenal Cap
tain w. l.. Hicks and his crews did
not wait for railroad trains. They
took the Reserve Militia's trucks and
am mbulances and when they were
not enough they hired more and
sent them across the state. Mem
bers of Captain r. c. Batley's new
truck train were in service before
they knew it, while officers who
thought they would be on riot duty
found themselves directing hospitals
and acting as supply officers with
hundreds of dollars worth of state
property charged up against them
and people clamoring for it.

The Eyes of Lone

When May was crowned with lilac
plumes
And garlanded with leaves,
And robins built their happy nests
Beneath my cottage caves.
And rainbows arched the shining
sky,
And jewels tipped the spray.
My eyes beheld a world Of gloom
Whree al was black and gray,
My heart was like an empty room
Devoid of light and heat.
And echoing only to the sound
OF drums and marching feet.
Now grim November strips the
bough
And whirls the dust along,
And robs the garden of it's bloom,
And stills the 'thrush's song.
Drab Vapors hide the morning sun,
And cloud the evenings close.
And yet the landscape of my gaze
-, Is lovely as the rose;
For 10. from France the glory land,
Across the ocean foam,
With medals ond his gallant breast,
My soldiers sailing home.

A BUILDING PROGRAM

A T A MEETING of the Operator
~ Builders Association in Phila-
delphia it was decided unani-
mously to inaugurate early next year
a house building campaign which
will give Philadelphia at least ten
thousand new houses ready for oc-
cupancy early next summer. The as
sociation includes virtually all of the
house builders, and their action was
the result of an urgent recognition
for concerted action next Spring, in
view of the large and growing short
age of houses in every section of the
city.
Harrisburg builders will do well
to take similar action, as the hous-
ing conditions here are so serious as
to justify large constructive pro-
gram.

SEIZURE OF THE CABLES

tFrom the Phila. Public Ledger. j.
President Wilson ought to realize
before it shall be too late TO undo
the mischief how widespread and
deep Is the feeling of distrust and
disquiet engendered by the an
nouncement of the program for
an official press mission" under the
direction of Mr.. Creel at the COM
ing peace conference. coincident with
the taking over of the Atlantic cables
by the Postmaster General. 1t is inn
possible to remove from the public
mind the conviction that there is
some close if unexplained connection
between these two measures and
that the purpose is sinister one,
aimed at the control of the news SER
vice from Versailles or at some sort
of propaganda the real purpose
of which is undisclosed.
All the great newspapers of the
civilized world have already made
arrangements to send competent rep
resentatives to the peace conference
and to have its proceedings fully re-
ported from hour TO hour for the
enlightenment of their readers. They
have proceeded on the assumption,
an assumption based primarily upon
the repeated utterances of Presi-
dent Wilson, that the coming con-
ference will stand for OF en- diplo-
macy, that it will be in the conduct
of its deliberations the very antithe-
sis of the Congress of Vienna, when
the destinies of nations and of peo-
pie were determined in secret and
in utter disregard of justice or the
rights and Wishes of the people con-
cerned. And they have assumed,
further, that the wire communica-
tions would be open to all on equal
terms, unhampered by any narrow
censorship or bureaucratic inter
ferences.
Under these circumstances, what
then is to be accomplished by the
Creel mission, why the belated taxi
ing over of the cable services at a
time when the war emergency can
no longer be pleaded in justification
These are questions to which the
people of America are entitled to
full, immediate and explicit ans

even the subsidized publication finds
it easy, Indeed. IL ls strange. but true,
that the only really influential news
papers and magazines In the country
are those which are paying their own

THE NATIONS FINANCES

[From the n. a. War Weekly
One of the most beneficial results
of the election will be the curtail-
ment of the gross extravaganza
which has marked the appropriation
and expenditure of the public funds.
Nor will it be necessary to await
the convening oI the new Congress
to enjoy this gratifying improvement.
Senator Martin, chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, has
already announced his purpose to
scrutinize more carefully the estt
mates of the executive departments
and to insist upon economies wher-
ever they are practicable.
The bitter resentment which the
administration has shown whenever
the committees of Congress have
sought TO curb its extravaganza, or
even persistently to inquire into the
necessity of the appropriations de-
manded, together with the public cen
sure meted out by the President to
all Democratic Senators who opposed
his will (not, excluding the always
loyal, able and energetic Senator
from Oregon, Mr.. Chamberlain.
have heretofore operated to restrain
Democrats, while the fear of misrep-
resentation and of even the appear
ance of doing anything to hamper
the President in the prosecution of
the war has acted as a brake on the
Republicans.
The vote of the people to restore
to Congress the legislative function
which had been wrested from it,
however has put courage into the
abler and more manly Democrats,
and the conviction of the Repub-
licans that their success is largely
attributable to the confidence of the
people that they stand as one man
for the establishment of permanent
peace, will relieve them in large
measure of the embarrassment under
which they have labored, an en-
barrassment the greater because of
the powerful publicity machine
which the administration possesses
in the Committe on Public Informa-
tion, and the unscrupulous uses to
which that institution has so often
lent itself
