AMERICAN EMOTIONS

Coming as a stranger to America
and making flying visits to different
cities between New York and Chi
cago. it seems to me as an observer
of life, in a small way of business.
that the American people are in a
state of emotion not usual to their
character and habits. That may
be an illusion of mine due to NV own
emotions as an explorer of American
civilization and as a lecturer, new
to the game, facing great friendly
audiences with q constant sense of
surprise at finding myself in such a
position. l go from emotion to emo
ton in expectation of meeting the
unexpected, which always happens.
/ have not yet recovered from the
sensation of my first night journey.
when / utterly failed to take off my
| trousers in an upper berth and near

and lay listening all night to the
stertorous breathing of unknown
people behind green curtains below,
who slept, marvelously in spite of
appalling jolts caused, | imagine, by
an over emotional engine driver.
1t is naturally an emotional thing
! to me to enter another American
city for the first time, and to find,
as in Chicago, Pittsburgh. Toledo,
, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and Washington, immense hotels.

ergy. To some small extent L am
| able from a lonely space on a plat
form to get into touch with the psy-
chology of the peoples in these cities,
and to note differences between them.
Some of them are more responsive
than others, as can tell by their
quick laughter, or by sudden fright
ening silences, or by unexpected ap-
! plause. l am invited to dinner part

never met before, and as at the
Cliff Dwellers in Chicago, and other
clubs elsewhere. find groups of men

edge of things worth while in life.

HONOR THE MOTHERS

AYOR KEISTER is right The
MI mothers of the men of the
2Sth Division are entitled to
grandstand seats at the great review
in Philadelphia, If anybody is.
Nobody is so much interested in
the return of these soldiers as their
mothers. Nobody is more anxious for
a first look at their stalwart forms.
They bred these boys and raised
them, and put into their bodies and
their hearts the stuff that made
them the most wonderful soldiers
the world has ever seen. All honor to
these women who suffered and died
a thousand deaths while their sons
faced the grim spectre on the bloody
fields of France. They are deserving
the best that a grateful nation can
give them.
BY all means let us see to it that
they have seats on the great review
ing stands that are to be erected in
Philadelphia. If necessary the State
should provide money for this pur-
pose.

THE DEEPER RIVER

Wy f SHALL soon know how
wv much it will cost to make the
Susquehanna navigable. The
War Department is displaying COM
mendable energy in getting the pro-
ject under way, thanks to the irter-
est of Congressman Griest and
Kreider, as the selection of an officer
to make the necessary surveys and
studies indicates. But what a pity
Major Gray was not assigned to the
work. No man has given the matter
such close attention as he and none
knows the vagaries and possibilities
of the Susquehanna so we'll. BY long
years of close association and ex-
perience he has become thoroughly
acquainted with the stream in its
every phase and he is an earnest
advocate of the canalization plan.
His thought it was that brought the
present development, through the
instrumentality of the Harrisburg
Rotary Club, and he ought to be as
sociared with the project in some
way that would give it the benefit
of his knowledge, ability and en-
thusiasm.
But whatever may be done to that
end. our responsibility in Harrisburg
does not end with the beginning OF
the survey. We must show those as
signed to the task that we are
really in earnest We must gather
and present to the government rep
resentatives every scrap of evidences
available to show the desirabiMty
and feasibility of the enterprise
These men will be from Missouri
They will have to ''be shown" They
will hold no brief for the deeper
river. Perhaps they will be skep-
tical. We must do our part to con-
vert them to our way of thinking

ARMENIA'S NEEDS

A MERICA is called upon to save
n Armenia from death by star
= walton. All of us-and this
means the people of Harrisburg and
Central Pennsylvania as we'll as
those of other communities through
out the length and breadth OF the
land-are asked to give something.
That the call is we'll founded is
indicated by the following extract
from correspondence on the subject
published in the current issue of the
World Outlook:
Armenia is a country rich in
in its soil and in its mineral de-
posits. But like most of the Or
lent il has not had the most adj
vanced methods or machinery to
develop its natural resources; and
during the occupancy of the
Turks. a deliberate effort was
made to keep the people poor and
as nearly in the class of slaves as
possible. \ less sturdy race
would have become truly subject;
but the Armenian in spirit has
never been anything but a free
man. however poverty stricken or
prosecuted. Some who escaped
into Mesopotamia and Palestine
have been within the British lines
and have been taught, or at least
have had the opportunity OF see
ing new methods Of agriculture
and industry in operation. The
American relief committee has
supported about 5000 refugees in
Egypt and the boys have been
given manual training and in
struction in various trades which
will help them to develop their
country when they return to it.
In view of what should have
been done, the accomplishment
has been small. This statement
does not reflect in any way on any
OF the relief organizations. 1t
simply means that they have had
barely enough, when they have
had that to keep the exiles
alive. With the death rate, be-
cause OF exposure and malnutri-
tion, exceeding the birth rate by
almost 200 per cent. the societies
have been hard pressed to save
any part of the population. A
careful survey has convinced
them that the $3o,000,0o0 which
they are raising will restore the
courtry-give all those who have
survived a chance to live until
they can become self-supporting
onCa more.
