NO ACCIDENT DRIVE

GTARTING at midnight tonight
the Pennsylvania railroad en-
ployes aspire to have no acci-
dents ON the system for a whole
Geek.
If the campaign results in the saw
ing of one life or prevents the in
sury OF one person it will be a great
snccess.
But aside from the immediate re-
salts Is the training in carefulness
which the men will receive.
Too often we think merely of the
high pay that railroad men receive
and not at all of the risks they take.
Theirs is a hazardous calling. If
It can be made less so they and all
ef US will be the happier therefor.
No accidents for a whole week on
Ehe great system. That Is a big
erder, but it can be filled. And If
possible for a week, it may be pos
sible for a month, or a year; or if
not that at least the number of acci-
Hents can be greatly reduced.
Careful is the watchword.

treaty and League of Nations, and
yet there is not an article in the
treaty which is not the subject OF
varying interpretations, each one
having it's proponent.
And the glory of it Is that this is
so. What a blundering stupid ma
ton we would be. IL we accepted
everything without question from
any source which arrogated to itself
divine omniscience. No political
subject can transcend party politics
until 1t has been threshed out by
the pros and the cons and enacted
into law, and even then it is subject
to amendment or repeal. 1t Is this
threshing out which discloses its i'm
perfections and effects such COM
promises as human selfishness will
permit. What this country needs is
more party alignment, and less mas
querading on the part of some men
in authority under party titles which
they are quick to destroy once they
are elected to office.

Motor ThieDinu

lFrom the Washington Star.1
A bill Is now pending in Congress
to increase the penalties for the
stealing of automobiles and to con-
stitute as a Federal offense the talk
ing of stolen cars from one state to
another. The passage of this bill, it
is believed, will help greatly in the
suppression of motor thefts, which
have become a serious evil through
out the country. The present penal
ties are not adequate for the punish
ment of those who steal cars. The
chances OF detection are slender and
the gains are rich Cars that have
been stolen can be easily run out
of reach and marketed. That there
buying and selling of stolen auto
mobiles is definitely understood, and
every possible effort is made by the
police to locate and identify those
engaged in it
There is no longer a matter of
mere "joy-riding," as the phrase
once ran The motor thieves, as a
rule, do not take cars without own
ers' permission for the purpose of
riding about and then abandoning
the machines. They are professional
thieves, seeking property to take and
sell. Stricter watch of license tags
better records of ownership, the in
stitution of intercity lists of car
owners, these devices will aid in the
prosecuting of the campaign. In
some cities every car owner must
carry with him constantly clear proof
of his right of possession.

DID YOU KNOW THAT:
BY MAJOR FRANK c. MAHIN
OF the Army Recruiting Station

On the declaration of war the
United States had 55 training air
planes. of which 81 were classified as
obsolete, and the other four rs OBJ
solenscent.
When we entered the war the Allies
made the designs of their planes
available to US and before the end
OF hostilities furnished US from their
own manufacture $500 service planes.
Aviation training schools in the
United States graduated $500 men
from elementary courses and 4,O2S
from advanced courses. More than
5000 pilots and observers were sent
overseas.
The total personnel of the air SER
vice, officers, students. and enlisted
men, increased from 1900 at the out
break of the war to nearly 100000 at
it's close.
There were produced in the United
States to November 80, 1918. more
than 5000 training planes and more
| than 10000 training engines.
| The De Haviland4 observation and
day bombing plane was the only
| plane the United States put into
quantity production. Before the
signing of the armistice 3,227 had
| been completed and 1885 shipped
overseas. The plane was successful
/ " used at the front for three months
The production of the 12-cylinder
Liberty engine was Americas chief
contribution to aviation. Before the
armistice 1854 had been completed
ABS shipped to the expeditionary
| forces, and 1925 delivered to the AL
| lies.
The first flyer in action wearing
the American uniform were members
of the Lafayette Escadrille, who were
transferred to the American service
| in December, 1917.
| The American air force at the front
grew from squadrons in April to Il
| in November, 1918. On November II
the IS squadrons had an equipment
of 740 planes.
OF 2,69S planes sent to the zor$
of the advance for American avit'
tors. 667, or nearly one-fourth, were
Of American manufacture.
American air squadrons played i'm
portant roles in the battles of Chat
u-Thierry, st. Mihiel, and the
Meuse- They brought dowr
in combat 755 enemy planes, while
their own losses of planes only mum
bered 357.

MOORE'S BIG TASK

M AYoR-ELECT MOORE pro-
W poses to have the political
atmosphere and the setting
of his administration in harmony
with his plans and purposes. He
wants no political jangling to di-
vert his attention from the big things
which he hopes to do for the benefit
Of the city that has honored him.
All Pennsylvania wants to see
Philadelphia get out of it's political
rut and move forward toward the
ultimate place which it should hold
among the great municipalities OF
the world. Big, brainy. patriotic
men almost trample over each other
in the wonderful city at the conflu-
ence of the Delaware and Schuylkil
rivers, but for some inscrutable rea.
son the town has been held back and
held down by political maneuverins
such as no community ought to en-.
dure for a single day.
Mr.. Moore has had sufficient pub.
lie experience to pull the big towr
out of the mud and we shall b;
greatly surprised if he fails on the
Job. He has courage and vision anC
lot of initiative. What is perhaps
to the point also, he knows th'
political game as a trained news
paper man before he became a rep
resentative in Congress.

THE PRUSSIAN WHO IS
WAGING 4 PRIVATE WAR
(Kansas City Starr

man dream, the breakup of the
great armies, Won der Goltz was re-
called from Constantinople and put
in charge of the eastern armies. 1t
was a task OF even less moment than
he had held thus far in the war.
There, smarting under the sights
he had received, Won der Goltz no
doubt conceived the plan, whatever
it is, that is causing him to wage a
private war up in the Baltic region.
Won der GoltZ hates Lenine and
Trotzky, he has contempt for So
cialism, and for democracy as well.
In him is the strain of generations
of domineering Prussian aristocracy.
So any thought that he will ally
himself with the Bolsheviki can well
be left out of reckoning. Almost as
we'll can be left out of consideration
the theory that he is acting in be-
half of the incongruous German re-
public. What then is his dream?
His Purpose a Puzzle
II it is not the return of dynasties
that he is seeking it may well be
that this old strategist, /shelved dur
ing the Great War, is waging a war
for the satisfaction of his own am
| bitions. He has rallied about him
force made up largely of profess
sional soldiers; his officers almost
entirely are veterans. He has an ex-
cellent opportunity to display the
strategy for which he once was
| famed.
It is possible, therefore, that the
motive back of Won der GoltZ's
seemingly wild campaign is nothing
less than to demonstrate his capac-
! ity as a leader and. at the same
time, carry on a forlorn hope OF
restoring the greatness of Germany
by the seizure of a large slice OF
Russia while the rest of the world
is helpless to prevent.

hoped that when he does go back he
will at last find time to get at that

A Four-Legged Soldier
rFrom the Wall Street Journal.

[From the Wall Street Journal
In the southwest it has been
demonstrated that the best means
of defense against an invasion of
army worms is strong force of
hogs. Year after year the army
worm has attacked the crops of the
United States, and the damage done
runs into millions of dollars. To the
damage must be added the cost of
defense, fighting 1t with poison and
other means. But the best the farm
er could do was merely to hold the
enemy in check. Now an efficient
fighter has been found in the hog
which hunts the army worm as
eagerly as the Australians went after
the Boches. In the form of bacon
and ham as well as g'ycerine for
explosives, the American hogs helped
roll back the invading armies from
Germany. The danger past, they
can now meet the invading army
worms and save millions of dollars
of foodstuffs every year, while add

show that it can be worked out in a
most practical manner.

houses and boat houses. That the
city can be provided with bathing
places and accommodations capable
of giving pleasure to 5000 persons
a day at the small initial outlay OF
$4,000 is an investment proposition
that will appeal nightly to the tax
payer,

all free to the public, we shall have
