Her Rise to Stardom Was

new comedy dealing with life
among the Pennsylvania Dutch, one
of the most curious groups of peo-
pie now living in this country when
seen in all their pristine freshness
in the small communities off the rail-
roads, in such community as fur
nishes the background for the play.
Time was when the making OF
feminine stars was a matter Of al
most weekly record and countless of
the promising young women who
were elevated to this dignity not so
many years ago have since drifted
back into the ranks of the merely

years only small number of young
women have been made stars and
most of these have weathered the
storm.
Miss Collinge has certainly had as
wide an experience as most of the
young women who have been adj
vanced with her this present season.
These three years she has been
identified with the leading role in
"Pollyanna," which she created and
which she played until being glad

often they do not. This is because
no organized effort was ever made
to get the information.
Thanks to the initiative of Gov
ernor Sproul. the State has the funds
and the system to get the informa-
ton so that authentic history can be
written. Men have been named In
every county to oversee it. But 1t
will not be obtained unless the peo-
pie who were in the midst of things
write or tell their story. There is
a distinction between boasting and
proper setting down of service. 1t
is better to overcome n natural re-
luctance to tell of war or other serv-
ice than have grandchildren spend
ing days and dollars trying to estab-
lish it.
The Dauphin County Historical So
ciety, the Chamber of Commerce, the
pastors, the postmasters, the teachers
will all help. The important thing
is to put 1t into writing this week
and send it to the Historical Society,"
where a record will be made for all
time and the facts forwarded to the
State commission.
Modesty now may mean names
missing from honored lists years
hence.

The NeW National Guard
[ From the Philadelphia Bulletin. ]

[F'rom the Philadelphia Bulletin.l
The success of the plan for the re-
establishment of the National Guard
on a permanent basis as an efficient
reserve for the Regular Army de-
pends very much on the character
of public support which is given TO
the enterprise.
The organization must be regarded
as more than a plaything or an op-
portunity for tin-soldiering. Enlist
ment in it's service is to be credited
to the men in degree comparable
to that which was accorded the VOL
unteer or the willing draftee for serv-
ice in the war. Every man will be
subject to discipline and duty, which,
whether or not they involve active
service, will be as essential part Of
the State and National preparedness
as is enlistment in the Regular Army.
The desired results in the recruit
ing of the new 2Sth Division. which
succeeds to the name and will re-
place in the measure that times of
peace require, the troops which the
whole State honors for their service
in the war, cannot be better assured
than by show of communal senti-
ment and pride in the new organiza-
ton as representative and as volun-
teer substitutes for the otherwise
necessary burden of universal mill
tary service.

RESERVATION NO. 1

A DOPTION of the first reserva-
~ ton to the Peace Treaty by the
Senate on Saturday leaves no
doubt as to the strength of Presi-
dent Wilson's opponents. The ma
jority is decisive. All the Republi-
cans stood together and five Demo-
Gratis are aligned with them. The
President must accept the treaty
with the reservations attached, or
reject it in its entirety. 1t is scarcely
likely that he will. dare throw the
whole document overheard.
Thus is one-man government re-
pudiated in America. Thus does
Mr.. Wilson suffer a humiliation he
might easily have avoided had he ac-
cepted Republican or even Demo-
cratic senatorial advice in the franz
ing of his peace and League of Ma
ton terms.
Those who voted for the first res
ervation have nothing in their minds
save the protection of America from
foreign domination. 1t is left to the
Congress of the United States to de-
eide our own responsibilities and our
own destinies in case of interna-
tional misunderstanding. And 1T is
distinctly up to the other parties to
the covenant to say whether or not
they want us as a member on our
own terms. If so, we shall be amply
protected. If not, we shall stand on
our own feet, as many statesmen of
experience believe would be best for
us at all events.
Reservation No. l is wise in its
provisions. Now let's hurry along
with the rest of them and get back
to a real peace basis as soon as pos
sible.

VICTORY FOR PEOPLE

TN HE Government OF the United
States has proved that it is
the most powerful agency in
America.
That was shown on Saturday when
1t ordered the leaders of the coal
strike to call off the walk-out, pend
ing a settlement of grievances in a
peaceful manner, and the union
leaders agreed to obey. There was
nothing else left for them to do.
Two weeks ago. these leaders were
defiant of all authority. They placed
themselves above the President,
above the courts and above all law.
To-day they are in more chastened
mood. They have heard the voice
of the people applauding the Gov
ernment in its determination to pre-
vent an appallingly disastrous fuel
famine. They have looked into the
eyes of undaunted. loyal America,
and they have seen men of all sta
tons of life, by the million, standing
firmly back of the Government on
the side of law and order. They
were helpless before the overwhelm-
ing display of public opinion.
The next step is to thresh out the
grievances the unions claim they
have, before fair tribunal. After
that both operators and miners
must be prepared to accept the ver-
dict as rendered. The public is in
no mood to stand any further
trifling with its bread and butter,
either on the part of labor or capital.
The court order of Saturday was
a great victory for the common peo-
pie, whose rights have been too
often invaded without restraint or
hindrance.

STRIKES, WORK AND GERMANY

things in Europe and especially in
Germany than myself, say that with
in ten years Germany will be on the
same business basis she was before
the war. That means she is work
ing very hard because the country
was torn to pieces after the years
OF lighting. She has great quanti-
ties of manufactured goods stored
away and the plants where things
TO sell are made were planned so
that they could start them going
Just as soon as peace came. All of
the German workers, the laborers
and mechanics are, without being
told, working at least ten hours
every day when most of ours are
not working more than eight hours
and many of them less. Our men
are striking for shorter hours and
more money right at time when
the only thing that will save this
country is for everybody to forget
their selfish interests and work
hard and produce in large quanti-
ties"
But Uncle Ted, what has Ger
many got to do with us even if she
is working harder?" asked Jack.
Just this. The German money is
SO low that 1t is to the advantage of
other countries to buy the material
she has ready for the market. If
she has goods ready because she is
working night and day with all her
energy then she can sell to the world
while we are not only going to sleep
but having labor war right in our
own country. You see that is what
Germany is doing while in this
country the chief labor leader saws,
1 will tie up every industry in the
United States by ordering all work.
men who belong to the unions to
quit unless you give us what we
want To surrender to them would
mean that about 100000 people in
the United States would tell nearly
100, 100000 people what they would
or would not do. The great lesson
to all of this is that neither Con-
gress in Washington nor the State
law making bodies can solve the
situation. The real, true Americans,
men who think and act like the great
Roosevelt, must meet the situation
and get rid of the bad foreign group
of men and women who at present
seem to have control of labor. When
we saw we had to go to war with
Germany practically every man, wo-
man and child was loyal. The men
went to fight, the money was given
for guns, bullets and shells, and we
beat Germany. The same danger
from Germany is with us again.
Only this time it is simply of an
other kind. We must meet it with
the same spirit or we are lost as a
country. 1t is not money, not lives
this time, but work that will count"
We'll I guess we will show Herr
mann few things" said Jack. I'VE

PHILADELPHIA

1h AYOR-ELECT MOORE is in
M harmony with the attitude of
the Telegraph in the matter
of a closer relationship between the
metropolis of the Commonwealth at
the confluence of the Delaware and
Schuylkill and the rest of the State.
He is in entire accord with the Oft
expressed view of this newspaper,
that the natural desire of the mu-
nicipal and private interests of Penn
sylvania is to aid in the development
of Philadelphia as the only seaport
of a great State and incidentally its
typical American city.
But in order that Philadelphia
may grow, the hindrances which are
largely within the city itself must
be removed. These include political
tomfoolery. abuse of a fine heritage,
indifference to outside opinion and
indefensible criticism of those en-
gagged in a real effort to place the
city in it's proper position as the
leader among the cities of the State.
There is a community of interest be-
tween Philadelphia and the other
municipalities, and this fact must
be recognized.

Rugged AmericdniSn

lFrom the Manufacturers Record.
Gen. Leonard Wood is supposed to
be candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination. That nom-
ination is a long way off, and we are
not concerned with the political
fortunes of any individual. But
when man, particularly one seek
Ing votes, comes right out before the
whole country and says what he
thinks, without equivocation, and
tears himself loose from the snivel-
ing, ballot-hunting, pussy-footing
coterie of statesmen who have been
nurturing Bolshevism and anarchy
and unrest and economic disease in
this country by flirting with ex-
ponents of such calamitous doctrines,
1t is worth while for decent citizens
and decent publications to give him
the encouragement that is his right.
Speaking in New York at the re-
quest of the Woman's Memorial
Association, General Wood said:
There is no room in this country
for the red flag. 1t IS against every
thing which this government stands
for. the home, the town, the nation.
Kill it as you would a rattlesnake,
and smash those who follow It,,
speak for it or support it. They are
enemies of the State and dangerous
enemies"
Perhaps General Woods denuncia-
tion of revolution will be translated
into dozen different languages and
| distributed among the fat aliens who
know nothing of our tongue and so
| little of our institutions that they
imagine they can submerge them
| overnight. But the general Will
hardly care. Probably he knows,
as so many other Americans have
learned in the last five weeks, that
the only kind of American who is
going to be permitted to guido the
American ship of State is the Amer
lean who has no hyphen for q waist
line and whose vision is so clear that
| there is never any danger OF his
mistaking the red emblem of des-
truction for the Stars and Stripes.

Watch the Dog LalD
Pennsylvania Farmer1

Reading between the lines in the
report of the convention of the
Pennsylvania Association of County
Commissioners one detects a senti-
ment in that organization that is
opposed to the present dog law in
this State. This opposition is based
upon an alleged inefficiency of the
law because of the difficulty of en-
forcing it. Careful observation will
show that the law is not enforced
in a great many places, but that is
not the fault of the law. 1t is due
to the laxness of spineless officials
who have a keener interest in re-
tanning their position than in the
enforcement of law. 1t is altogether
possible that the present law might
be improved, but whenever the
question is opened up it is a mighty
hard job to put through any really
protective legislation, because of
the many opposing interests. We
had better hold on to what we have,
rather than run the risk of losing
all by tinkering with it,
