DO IT PROMPTLY

THE special committee of citizens
appointed to raise the volun-
tary fund for the erection of Il
memorial to soldiers and sailors
of Harrisburg at the eastern en-
trance to the great memorial viaduct
at State street is completing it's
plans on the basis of twenty dollars
for each soldier.
1t is fine thought to make the
gifts personal in their nature so that
each giver may feel that he has
contributed directly to the particular
soldier, sailor, marine or war
worker in whose name he responds
to the call of the committee.
Arnold W. Drummer, the famous
architect who is designing the
Capitol Park plans and the Memorial
Bridge. has submitted the designs
for the Harrisburg memorial which
have been accepted by the COM
mittee and which will be most
dignified and appropriate.
This city has done so admirably
in every other way that it will
take pride in completing promptly
the memorial which will stand for
all time as the evidence of a city's
appreciation of the self-sacrifice and
devotion of the great body of young
men who went out as the direct rep
resentatives of our people to safe
guard the rights and liberties of the
American people.

Liberty" Is Registered

TFrom Popular Mechanics
For the first time in its history
the government of the United States
has registered trademark under its
own patent office laws. The word
so distinguished is the familiar
Liberty" applied to airplane en-
gines and parts. In connection with
this unusual action it will be re-
called that the engine was known
as the UNITED States Standard Air
craft Engine" back in the expert
mental days of 1917.
Workers in the bureau of aircraft
production, then the equipment di-
vision of the signal corps, were hui
man, however, and so cast about for
a nickname. Liberty" was hap
pily the word suggested. and adopt
ed by general consent. But the name
was later applied to dozen differ
ent articles. including soft drinks
and hamburger steaks, as well as
commercial airplane commodities,
with the result that the government
has been forced to take this action
to prevent confusion.

BdrbariSm of MODS
[From Kansas City Star. ]

A mob is a strange and sinister
thing. Its members may be ordi-
narily decent citizens. But under
the influence of the mob spirit they
lose all self-control and the basest
passions get the upper hand. So
different is the conduct Of the
crowd from the normal conduct of
the individuals composing it that 1t
has been made the subject of nu-
merous studies by PSYCHOLOGISTS.
The United States has had several
object lessons recently in mob be-
havior. The rioting in Washington,
Chicago and Boston. and now this
latest outbreak in Omaha, are ex-
ceedingly disquieting. They show
the danger of relapse into bar
barism that exists in every com
munity.
In the long run education and dis
cipline must be the correctives. But
in the meantime the country must
look to its constituted authorities to
maintain order with firm hand.
The mob spirit must be curbed be-
fore 1T sweeps over whole cities.

ADELINA PATTI

tFrom the Kansas City Times.1
What a wonderful career is that
recalled by the death of Nine. Ade-
lima Patti! For a full quarter of a
century this brilliant singer was the
brightest of operatic stars. Her
GUS for she achieved them in COM
paratively few roles; but her con-
quest was sweeping. She sang in
nearly every musical center of the
world. She mastered more than
forty operas. She sang in four Ian
guages. No other singer of her time
and perhaps no singer of any time
received such homage and adula-
ton. And by exercising the most
exacting care of her voice and of
herself, Patti retained her power
and her beauty far beyond the aver
age time of retirement from the
stage. -r
The sway of Adeline Patti was not
due entirely to her natural gifts and
acquired art; she was favored by
circumstances and conditions. There
have been other queens of opera,
but PATHS reign was longer by far
than that of any other singer. If
she had been born a quarter of a
century later her position would
have been less secure and her su-
premacy of shorter duration.
PATHS voice was precisely suited
to the operas that had leading vo-
que in the long period of her great
ness. Her voice was light, measured
by current standards, but it was
most beautiful in quality and sc
flexible as to respond fully to the
requirements of the florid Italian
and French operas of a period pre-.
ceding the advent of this singer.
Also, the public of PATHS. time
was more sentimental, more emo.
tional than that of later years, an6
it was especially susceptible to this
artists charming personality anC
gracious manner. No other favorite
| of the stage knew better how tc
win an audience. But no one car
say that Patti was not fully entitled
to the popularity she achieved anC
| the crown she won.
PATHS successor undoubtedly wa.
Nine. Melba, who remained suprem,
among lyric sopranos for q shorter
| period, but against much more try
ing odds than Patti encountered. Fol
Melba was obliged to meet not onl,
the exacting standards in the fiorit
style, but also had to adapt hersel
to the requirements of the music
drama and its notifications, as rep
resented in the most modern opera
And because of the radical chang,
from old standards to the interpre
tative school of opera, requirin,
casts of great singers, not merel!
great individual stars, it is doubt
full whether any singer will soor
achieve the supremacy of Mime
Patti, much less hold a reigning DO
sition for so many years.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

! more veterans of the War with
Germany to attend the first
annual cantonment of the American
Legion in Pennsylvania. is an his
toric occasion. In years to come
this organization will take the place
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
when time shall have had it's way
with the brave and venerable men
who make up that wonderful body
of American heroes. The formation
of $50 posts of nearly $4,000 mem
hers in this state in the brief period
since the war ended, is. as the State
chairman says. a wonderful prom
ise of the future strength and popu-
larity of the Legion.
Policies. not politics." is the key
note of the convention which will
form the laws under which the
Legion will operate. and the young
men charged with this work have
an important and far-reaching duty
to perform. The Legion must be
safeguarded from selfish interests.
1t must be as pure in purpose as
was the Army of which it's members
were units when the American forces
in. France dealt Germany the death
blow, and judging from all indica-
tions its future is in good and trust
worthy hands.
We heed in America to-day just
such a sturdy. patriotic organization
as the American Legion promises
to be. These young men must as
the years go by, receive the flag
from the failing hands of the vet
Grams who have held it aloft so long
Theirs will be the duty of preserv-
ing the form of Government and per-
petuating the institutions that have
made us a great nation. From their
ranks will come the men who, for
the next half-century, will guide the
business, Industrial and political af-
fairs of the country. just as the men
of the Grand Army were the domi-
mating force in the republic for fifty
years following the Civil War. 1t
is only natural that this should be
so, for the men who served with
the colors are the flower of our
young American manhood and the
qualities which carried them to vic
tory in France will win for them
honorable places in the peaceful life
of the country.

France to settle there after the pass

Sisters are now returning to Norman

must have sure information that the

aristocratic in the world, at least one
ex-queen and more than one royal lady
being amongst it's inmates, while it
was there the Empress Zita of Austria
and the Grand Duchess of Luxem-
bourg, received their English educa-
ton. The Nuns also revived the glor-
les of the Solesmes chant in their
beautiful chapel, which was open to
resident Catholics in the neighborhood
and their going is a calamity to the
island.

REMARKABLE CONVERSION
JAPANESE NoBLEMAN, BAPTIZED
BY HIS SON, DIES IN
TIE FAITH.

A remarkable conversion of a Jap
anese nobleman, Monoto by name, is
reported. This gentleman was ,distin-
guished in diplomatic circles, having
held the position Of,Japanese Ambas-
sador at Petrograd and Paris, and act
ing for four years as Minister of For
eign Affairs to the empire. Though a
pagan, he had long been attracted by
the Church, and some time ago gave
his consent to his sons conversion.
Afterwards he prayed with his son
that he himself might receive the
faith, but always, when questioned,
his modesty made him answer that he
feared he had not enough faith to de-
serve baptism He, however, made
pilgrimages to the Japanese replica of
Lourdes, which has been erected at
Siknguchi. A few days before his
death, which is just reported, he again
asked his family to pray for his con-
version, and when asked if he thought
his faith was now sufficiently strong,
hereplied Yes No priest was avail
able, but his son baptized his father,
who afterwards folded his hands in
the form of cross, and with the
words, My God, unto Thy hands
commend my SOUL" he expired.

CARDINAL MERCER FAvORS
PROHIBITION
B EEL CLAN PRELATE MAX S
KNOWN HIS POSITION ON
LIQUOR QUESTION.

Cardinal MERCER, Primate of Bel
GUM, the militant prelate of the
Church and one of the great outstand-
ing figures of the war, has taken a
stand in favor Of general prohibition
In a recent interview given to a rep
resentative of the New York Times, at
the Archiepiscopal palace at Malines,
the Cardinal expressed his views on
prohibition with animation, warming
to his subject.
II am great believer in the repres-
sion of all intoxicating drinks such as
alcohol and absinthe," he said. IF
general prohibition we're introduced,
more human lives would be saved
than by general disarmament.
Alcohol kills more men than war
and kills them dishonorably When
man is killed by war, an existence is
suppressed, whereas, the evil survives
after inebriates have had enough of
existence.
Complete prohibition cannot be in
troduced instantaneously, but gradual
ly, step-by-step, taking circumstances
into consideration. The use of alcohol
should be made increasingly difficult
and should not be made a provoca-
ton
