Safety Crellin said this morning, after
Fire Chief c. c. Pigman had made
request that owners be asked to mum =

are numbered and the city council has
the authority under state law to
compel numbering.
Chief Pigman finds that fire calls,
complaints Of various kinds. and calls
for inspection often come to the sta
ton without other means Of identifi-
cation OF the building than the street
number As many OF the business
houses bear no numbers it has been
found that members Of the department

duties lose considerable time in find

missioner Crellin will request prop
erty owners to number their buildings

"A DAM OF DOLLARS"
[From the Omaha Bee.1

l.
Appropriation of $1O0,000.000 as
an emergency fund to provide food
for starving Europeans will meet
popular approval because Americans
are generously and sympathetically
inclined towards the suffering at any
time. When we think of thousands
of millions of money so lavishly ex-
pended in pursuit of the enterprise
of war, out of which the famine has
grown, the present sum looks small
enough for the work of rescue. But
Is it not a mistake to view 1t from
the angle that has been thrust for
ward, that of relieving the world
from the threat of Bolshevism?
Mr.. Wilson says the social malady
cannot be remedied by force; 1t must
be treated by other means. In this
he Is much nearer the mark than
many may realize, yet 1t is a serious
mistake to conclude that the up
heaval is due to hunger alone. Boil
shevism broke out in Russia when
plenty to eat was on hand. It has
spread in lands where no famine
Is felt. Argentina, for example,
where food is more plentiful than
anywhere on earth for the moment,
Is undergoing a social disturbance
almost equal to that of any of the
anarchy infested ! countries where
the disorder is complicated by star
vation. This s1ght to indicate that
the cause is deeper than mere hun
ger.

THE REAR-END COLLISION

GFrom the Providence Journal
Too frequently comes a distressing
reminder that all the safeguarding
resources of railroad science are as
yet unable to abolish the rear-end
collision, though they are largely
concentrated on that objective and
no form of accident is so inexcusa-
BILE in any circumstances. Not in
recent years have appalling examples
in quick succession been afford
ed as has now happened on the New
York Central, Sunday night, and >or
the Reading Monday night.
1t is question in both these cases
whether the mechanical agency of
protection failed, or the human ele-
ment, and that has always been the
question. The former works auto
matically. and the utmost care is
taken to see that it is always in
working order--a matter of no great
difficulty. The dependability of the
human element is less easily guaran-
teed, and unfortunately for the Sc
curity of the combined system, hu-
man and mechanician, it will fail
unless the locomotive engineer or
fireman. or the men who may have
the duty of experimenting the auto
matte signals with flags, torpedoes or
lights. are fully efficient whens the
emergency arises. This individual
efficiency is subject to conditions
over which the higher command of
railroad can exercise no control.
They may be beyond the control of
the man himself.

OUTLAWED

y ORD CECIL expresses the pre-
vailing thought in America
- when he says that the German
people are as yet not to be trusted
and should not be admitted to the
proposed league OF nations until
they have proved their worthiness
The Germans are outlawed by
their own acts. What one of us
would receive a German soldier into
our homes? None of us, we feel
sure. There is the test. Why ask
us to associate as people nationally
with those with whom we would
have absolutely nothing to do indi-
vidually?
The English view is the correct
view. When Germany has repented
in sackcloth and ashes and shows
by her good deeds that she has
really reformed, then and then only
may she be considered as candi-
date for the congress of nations.

PROPER PROTECTION

~ ENATOR PENROsE is very
~ properly disturbed over the
~ proposed expenditures of the
emergency food fund for which
Congress is providing at President
Wilson'S request. One hundred mil
lions of dollars constitute n lot of
money and the utmost care should
be exercised to see that it is neither
wasted nor misappropriated. He
asks that it be spent by q commits
sion of three men under the direc-
ton of the President. The amend
ments to the bill should be enacted
without delay. We want to help the
starving people of Europe, but we
want to know also that they get q
dollars worth for every dollar ex-
pended and careful supervision is
essential to a proper administration
of>the great charity fund.

A WINTER RESORT

rrARRISBURG gave visitors yes
II terday a very favorable i'm .
preston of the brand of mid
winter weather Forecaster Domain
doles out for local consumption.
Just like winter resort" was
the smiling comment of dozens of
folks from upstate, where the
snow falls in November and gener-
ally remains until late March.
All of which made us feel mighty
good until we reflected upon the
disreputable conduct of the ele-
ments only twelve months since.
Dear upstate admirers, you ought
to have been with us then. The in
augural parade would have re-
sembled a band of arctic explorers on
b ten days hike across the eternal
snowdrifts and Governor Sproul
would have been forced to the ne
cessity of taking the oath on top OF
a snowdrift.
It's q fine thing to acquire such a
weather reputation as was handed
out to us yesterday by a generous
forecaster, and we trust he does
nothing in the future to take the
wind out of our sails, as it were.

emily authentic reports re-

destroyer and consumer. 1t takes

The NeW Administration
(From the Philadelphia Evening
Ledger)

(f'rom the Philadelphia Evening
Ledger)
Astonishing revisions in political
philosophy and great changes in the
relation of economies and industry
to government are inevitable. Penn
sylvania cannot remain an island
isolated in a world of aspiration and
change. We are facing a creative
era and minds that are not creative
will soon be overwhelmed and dis
credited.
The times are fluid. People are
restless. dissatisfied, eager for new
leadership. Their minds are inquir-
ing and receptive. They are in a
mood to recognize their man when
Pennsylvania their lives are closely
bound up with immense opposing
forces that will have to be cooper
ative in the approaching period of
readjustment and settling down.
Governor Sproul, facing this situ-
alton, will be hedged about with the
usual difficulties. To the east of
him will be the ivied minds in
politics and journalism consecrated
to the belief that whatever is is
right. To the west will be unstable
radicalism, energetic and uniformed.
Upon the north will be backward
minded Legislature and on the
south will be the bosses moved, as
usual, by ferocious greed.
Rarely will there be any one with
a wise realization of the great good
that may come with wisdom or the
confusion that may follow upon mis-
takes or q lack of constructive
vision.
1t is an axiom of Pennsylvania
politics, for instance, that a Cover
nor can never rise above the Legis-
lature unless he happens to have
qualities of mind that approximate
genius. For the people who expect
great things from the states execu-
tive usually begin, with characters
tic perversity, by tying his hands
through the election of Representa-
tives and Senators committed to the
selfish creed of bossism. But in the
present case the Governor will have
unusual advantages. He is free
from entangling alliances. He was
selected without a surrender to any
of the factions. He is courageous.
And if he will follow method re-
Gently tried out with brilliant sue
cess in the larger field of national
politics he will realize that when he
mounts to his new office he ascends
to one of the great forums of the
world. From this on he will al
ways be able to get an audience. He
will always be listened to. The peo-
pie will believe him. And he can
go to them whenever he wishes to

assurance the people are always
upon the side of fairness and de-
cency when they are given the op-
portunity to judge squarely between

Lord Fisher and Shipbuilding
(Trom the Boston Herald)

(F'rom the Boston Herald)
Build navy ship at n time.
That's in essence, the advice of the
one man in England whom the
Kaiser used to say he feared. The
man was Lord Fisher, the first sea
lord of the Admiralty, who, revolu-
tionized naval warfare. He said to
Harold Begbie: The secret of ship
building is, never lay down a lot;
lay down one at a time. One i'm
provement leads TO another. When
the improvements come then q
whole squadron is not made obso-
lete."
Lord Fisher let foreign nations lay
down four, six, eight ships at once
and secretly made his plans for q
bigger ship to beat them. He amazed
the world by the creation of the
dreadnought, but when the first
dreadnought came into dock after
her first trip abroad no one outside
the inner circle knew she had come
back a failure. The great ship
would not steer.
All the brains of the Admiralty
were focused upon the resulting
problem. They solved it. but the
world thought they were making
some improvements in the gun
mountings Lord Fisher held that
one big fellow was worth fleet Of
little fellows: You won't leave
your house, will you," he used to
ask, "if you know Jack Johnson Is

When it was announced that the
government was taking over the ca

from the country. The substance of
that 1t feared the coloring
of the news of the conference by
administration agencies.
The most vigorous denials were at

was stated on behalf of the admin

Now exactly what was feared has
come truei
The correspondents have finally
united in a solemn protest to the
President on the secrecy which has
clothed all the negotiations and on
their inability to get the news. The
Associated Press carries this signif-
icant statement.
"The President himself has rarely
seen any of the American CORES
pondents. and the newspaper men
who have expressed themselves at a
meeting of the organization they
have formed as considering them
selves trustees obligated to inform
public opinion at home of the
moves which are being made here
in Paris, have been chatting at what
they have characterized as being

In groups. One of the stories his

most satisfaction since his recent
death tells of his treatment of q
young Russian Jew from the East
Side. who was in the guardhouse at
Upton Nfop refusal to obey orders.
General Bell had him brought to his
office.
Whats the matter, SOM" he
asked.
Nothing" was the somewhat sui
len response.
"Oh, yes there is, or you wouldn't t
be in the guard house. Why won't
you obey orders?"
II left Russia" burst out the boy,
because the army was everything,
because it was everywhere. i came
to America to be free from mill

being forced on me. / won't have
anything to do with it,"
You are wrong" said General
Bell. You haven't been called into
the army to bring militarism about
In America, but to prevent it. Can't
you see that if Germany wins there
will be her kind of militarism in
Russia and everywhere else in the
world? Can't you see that it is to
keep that kind of militarism out of
America that we have gone to war,
and that we have called you to do
your shareH'
The boy thought it over. Under
standing at length spread over his
face and he said:
II see."
Now" said the general, what is
wrong with you?"
Nothing" was the reply, but it
was plain that there was.
"Oh, yes there is." the general in
sisted. "Out with it."
"Tomorrow's Yom Kippur," an
swered the boy doubtfully. 'All the
others are going home, but 1 can't
because I'm in the guardhouse."
But you can," cried General Bell.
Get up to your barracks and get
your things"
He looked at his watch.
