HOW TO HELP EUROPE.
More by Extending Them Merchandise
Credit Than With Cash.

Well, what can we do7 | do not be
lieve that we can furnish the credi
to rehabilitate the Governmental
credits of Europe. Many of them ar,
too badly involved already. | do be
lieve that we must furnish these things
that are essential to the restarting Of
industry in Europe.
1t won't do to use. the uaual methods
of money lenders; to pick out the
best security and say we will take q
chance on this and let the rest go. We
must lend in the measure of the neces-
sity, rather than the measure of the
security, because there is no security
anywhere so long as you leave part of
Europe idle, in want and hunger, ready
for Bolshevism, ready for some upris.
ing, something that will better their
condition.
And l want to tell you that there is
a minority in every country in Europe,
an active minority, that believes in a
program for upsettng the pre- sent So
cial order. In England employers es-
tlmated to me that the minority was
10 to Is per cent. A minority that
actually believes the whole theory Of
property rights should be abandoned,
that we should go into a communistic
state of society.
There is inflammable material in
every country in Europe. You leave
any part oI it unprotected, you leave
any part o. t idle, hungry, starving,
and there II going to be social disorder
that will be a plague spot. 1t is infec-
tious. 1t i. likely to spread.
So | believe that if we are able to
tackle this subject of demonstrating
the Industry of Europe, we must make
comprehensive job of it..
We have got to furnish the raw ma
teiial, the machinery, certain
amount of food, and the equipment for
to make start at getting
this industrial cycle going again all
over Europe. From "Politicl and
Economic Conditions in Europe" by

: No show at the Mecca theatre this
week as Mr.. Webb is giving way to the
revival now in progress at the court
house.
+. A. Loshbough, who has been Wis.
iting his aged father in Michigan for
a few weeks. is expected home the last
of this week.
Several sections of the county have
been suffering for some days from
excessive drouth. Unless rain comes
within a few days corn will be SER
iously damaged. Potatoes have been
considerably damaged in some parts
of the country. The crop sa a whole
tor this country will be considerably
below average this year.
Capt. J. W. Ayers was here from
Hartman yesterday.
Mics Estella Welty, who taught in
the high school here for two years,
was IN town the first of the week visit
ing with friends. Miss Welty went
from here to Carthage where she
taught for three years in the high
school. From there she went to Ports
mouth, Ohio, where she has taught
the past two years and will teach
there again this year. Miss Welty
plans to leave today for Nashville
where she will join friends for a camp
ing trip.
Mrs. ]. B. Johnson plans to leave to-
day for West Palm Beach, Florida, for
visit of two weeks.
The revival meeting at the court
house, under the direction of Evange-
list Burton A. z. Hall, is still in pro-
gress and will continue throughout the |
week or longer; interest in the services |
is growing and the attendance is good. |
Rev. Hall spoke at the Teachers Insti
tnte Monday forenoon and his talk was
pronounced one of rare force and
beauty. He seems to be a very apt
and ready talker on all occasions and
brings a message that appeals very
to his hearers.
The teachers of the county are being
examined under direction of Superin
tendent A. j. Albertson, assisted by
Mrs. AlbertsoD. The attendance Is not
large as yet but may increase toward
the last of the week. The outlook for
teachers is far from fiattering and it
would now seem that some schools
will hardly be able to secure teachers
this year. That condition is not con-
lined to Cum oerland county, but seems
20 be general all over the state.

Stevens, has just return eG from over

TRIBUTE TO THE DOUGHBOY
Frank H. Simonds Tells Of Some Of His
Splendid Characteristics.

| wish l could give really accurate
portrait of the American Doughboy in
Europe, but it is beyond my power.
Certainly no nation was ever more
wonderfully represented abroad than
our own. A lonely figure, too, despite
his unfailing humor, his jibes and his
horseplay, the American soldier was.
He was a stranger in very strange,
land, and there is something infinitely
pathetic in the lone graves struggling
about the scattered villages all the way
from Argonne to the Meuse.
A little perplexed as to the reason
for his exile, seized with an intense
longing at all times to be home-once
the job was done and done right-but
in some strange way acutely conscious
that he represented America in Europe
and therefore had certain obligations
conferred upon him, the first of which
was to demonstrate the indubitable
superiority OF America to Europe in
all that really counted.
And when the last of him has gone
from Europe, save for the thousands
who sleep IN graves French peasants
are alreay tenderly careing for, l am
sure the legend of the American
DoughboY will survive and flourish in
the land in which whenever it rained
as it usually dld-he chuckled over
"Sunny France" If he was ever un-
derstood fully, he was appreciated.
He made friends. He broke hearts
an sometimes and sometimes heads
afterwards when his victories were re-
scented. His generosity was boundless,
his youth in an old country whose
youth had largely heen sacrificed be-.
fore he came-was magnificent. He
was never conquered, benevolently as
simulated, culturally captured-he
clamored for gum and consumed candy |
by the ton, bu; he did every job that
was asked OF him. He did more than
any one could or did expect of him.
He frequently performed miracles be-
cause his superiors could not perform
the most documentary tasks-being new
to the game. He would have gone to
Berlin if he had not been stopped by
the armistice. But in the shadow of
Rheims Cathedral he continued to
talk about the Goddess of Liberty
Moreover, and this in final, neither
~ OF .
saw him in action will ever invite him ;
to come to Europe agian as the Kaiser
and his advisers did two bret years
ago.
The next time the President of the {
United States happens to say too i
broud to fight Europe will recognize C
that he is indulging IN figure of Q
speech, not a statement of fact. =
But the American soldiers cid more
than teach Europe the greatness OF
fought. Every Ameri-
IAN who saw HIM in Europe learned
something new and unforg ettable u
about his own country. il
The Doughboys faith in his country I
vas as simple, complete, unqualified 81
IS that of d child, but for that faith II
md in that faith be walked and lived Il
md died, as only strong men can And q
# this, the greatest of all his revela- p
ions, he was at all times unconscious. "

MAKING OVER A CLIMATE

The latest suggestion toward
making over" a climate deals with
that of eastern Canada. which many
people think would be improved IL
it were made milder. Mr.. r. t.
Elliott, a Canadian engineer. thinks
such a change could be brought
about by closing Belle Isle Straits.
Among the results, in his opinion,
would be that Montreal would be-
come an open port during the whole
year, the banks of the st. Lawrence
would be in perpetual blossom of
flowers and shrubbery, and, incl
dentally. people all the world over
would long to live there.
AS an engineering problem, there
seems no reason to doubt that the
straits could be closed, although at
an expense which Canada might not
care to assume just at this time.
Whether the seasons would be so
greatly changed is another matter,
not concluslvely settled by theoreti-
cal probabilities.-Christian Science

supplies, but nothing is being over
looked in the attempt to make this
historic fight. Major Scott, her
commander, says he will attempt to
follow a great circle and arrive over
Newfoundland.
The giant British dirigible R-34
is the first lighter-than-air machine
to attempt a transatlantic flight.
The airship, the largest of its kind
in the world, measures 634 feet from
nose to stern and carries three boats
below the gas bag. She is COM
manded by Major G. III. Scott, of
the Royal Air Force. The craft is
equipped with wireless system as
powerful as that of the great ocean
liners.
Among the crew of twenty-three
men is Lieutenant Commander Zach
ary Lansdowne, staff commander of
the American naval air forces in
France, who is making the voyage
as as representative of the United
States Navy.
1t has been estimated that the
R-S4 will cross the Atlantic in from
sixty to seventy hours under favor
able conditions.
With favorable weather, the R-34
is expected to parallel the route of
the northern steamship lanes, but
should adverse weather be encount-
cred. she probably will take the
southern course, over or near the
Azores.

Downes Favors Project
Superintendent of Public Schools
F. e. Downes expressed himself as
being entirely in favor of the sub
ject. Professor Downes said that
when he saw how restricted would
be the high school should they build
on the Capitol Park site, he was
very much in favor of securing
ground in some location where it
might be possible to expand and to
have some sort of Fairgrounds, ath-
etic field, and the like for the stu
dents. He expressed himself as be-
ing entirely in agreement with the
present plan, which permits a hun
Headmaster Arthur e. Brown of /
the Harrisburg Academy, said that i
he considered it a fine thing for the
city. In the event of the plan going
through in it's entirety, which seems
quite possible, the cutting through
of Green street would take away a
large piece of ground from the
Academy property, including the
athletic field. There is to be meet
ing of the Board of Trustees of the
Academy on Thursday, at which this
question will be taken up. Head
master Brown is of the opinion that
more ground will be purchased on h
the south side of the Academy, and {
this would be a splendid thing for &
the school, as it would then present
a broader front to the river. Sew
eral more buildings could then be
considered.

Kiwanis Club Dimes a
Day Ahead Of Time

Switching its weekly luncheon
from Thursday to Wednesday during
summer months the Kiwanis Club
mangled its jazzy eats at the Penn
Harris to day in torpid heat but
vast enthusiasm which had it's cli-
max in changing the name of or
ganization to "Peptimists." Some
body said a pessimist is. one who
thinks things can't be done; optim-
list thinks they can be done; a pep
timist' has the pep" to do 'em.
This pep" will squirt at Hershey
on July 2S when the monster inter-
city picnic takes place with the fol-
lowing committees: The Rev. DIR.
Nudge, swimming director. because
it is wanted to be guaranteed safe
and sane; kite flying, Paul Furman;

feur to Charley Schmidt. chairman
of the days event, John Rose; base

Merrill, athletics; Charley Williams,
dancing. particularly for the ladies';
prizes, Henry Perkins. Charley
Schmidt, who just returned from
visiting his pet cow down at farm
IN Maryland, says he has enough
work to keep President Wilson busy
arranging for this monster demon
stration.
Silent booster to-day was G. M.
Williams, station barber shop, who
gave out a nickle harpoon with
which you may open a can of sar-
dimes or pick your teeth, if they
are all filled with metal. Thomas
Hamilton asked grace, and as he
finished President Neffe ordered all
diners to shed the coat unless the
back of the shirt was unpresentable
Penn-Harris thereupon dined a coat
less gathering. Ed. Weaver showed
up for the first time in months and
was sentenced to keep on his wraps.
The attendance prize, given by Will
liam Strouse was won by Lou Baum
himself tailor and the gift being a
suit of clothes, the Salvation Army
will get the garment. Secretary
read the minutes so
fast he was ordered to re-read them,
but said it was too hot. The song

Enthusiastically when interviewed this
morning. He said that the idea was
not a new one to him at all, as at
least ten years ago he wrote a letter
to the School Board suggesting just
such a site for the high school. That
it will be fine thing for the COM
munity as well as for the students
themselves in the school is Mr..
Dapp's idea. He feels that the erec-
ton of a suitable building with
large grounds enclosing it will go
far in the teaching of the "get-out-
in-the-open" idear, and he expressed
the hope that the city would take
steps to make the Italian park por-
ton of the ground into a splendid
park.
Robert A. Enders, president of the
School Board, gave the following
statement: THE purchase of the
McKee-Graham tract of land and
its development for school purposes
will afford splendid opportunity
for the advancement of education in
our city. Financially speaking, it is
impossible to buy a tract of land in
a more central part of the city, and
much larger tract can be pur-
chased at the present location for
less money. A large number of our
cities in this State have secured
similar locations and deem it no
hardship for their pupils to travel by
trolley to and from the schools, and
it appears to me that we can suffer
a similar condition here. Person.
ally speaking, 1 feel confident that
the Board of Education will pursue
this plan and afford Harrisburg the
kind of high school which it de-
serves. Harrisburg has always done
the great thing and feel that they
will not fall down on this occasion.
w. Frank Whitman agreed heartily
with the sentiments expressed by the
members of the board. He felt that
the idea was a good business propo-
sition and that any consideration OF
a down town plot would be out OF
the question. Mr.. Whitman said
that an additional reason why they
should adopt. Mr.. Whitman said
that an additional reason why they
should adopt the plan was the fact
that very soon the school of River
side will outlive its capacity and then
it could be added to the new high
school according to the University
improvement.

HONGKONG SHIPBUILDING
PLANT READY FOR MACHINERY

Hongkong.-One of the largest
docking concerns in Hongkong has
announced that it's shipbuilding
plant is ready for the installation of
the machinery expected to arrive
from the United States during the
course of the summer. When the
plant is finished it will consist of
twelve berths, three of which are
for vessels up to 500 feet in length.
The boiler works, machine shops
and sawmills are being enlarged,
large tracts of land being acquired
by the company for that purpose.
A new craving dock with a length
of 1000 feet and an entrance of Ito
feet is also in course of construction.
On. March 27 the company launcned
an S000-ton ship, 412 feet long, one
of a series it is under contract to
build.

he was pleased with the plan. The
feature of more space, more ground
in which to expand appealed es-
pecially to Mr.. Reinoehl, who looks
forward to the adoption of the idea.
He considers the location an ideal
one in every way, and says that the
trolley question is entirely a neglig-
ible one.
DR.. j. George Becht, executive
secretary of the State Board of Ed
ucation and who is to be first as
Sistant Deputy superintendent of
Public Instruction, gives the plan his
absolute approval. DIR. Becht says
that in all other cities of this size
and larger, the educational problem
has been quite as difficult as in Har-
rsburg, ana that they have solved
it by taking their high schools from
the center of town and putting them
in locations which are quite as ac-
cessible and much more healthy. He
looks to see a steadily growing in
stitution in the new high school.
DR.. Becht said:
The project outlined by the
Planning Commission for the loca-
ton of a High school plant, is in
deed an ambitious one but fully in
accord with the citys future growth
and development. The question will
be raised whether the 1oca-
ton is too far from the center of
population. Years ago such an OBJ
lection might have had weight, but
with the present methods of trans
portation and these being constantly
a distance of three or four
miles is not bar to location. In
many of the western states, where
within the past few years I visited
high schools, invariably I found
them located in large plots in the
open country near the city limits
Every one who has to do with
school work recognizes that a large
area of good. healthful soil, away
from distracting influences, will add
to the health, comfort
md welfare of the pupils and these
advantages will more than compen-
;ate for the possible inconvenience
hat some pupils may experience in
going additional distances. The Plan
hing Commissions project is one we'll
worth the most careful considera-
ion"
