OLD BARRIERS REMOVED
TFrom the Milwaukee Jou

[From the Milwaukee Journal.l
A news item announced that
Bishop David H. Greer, of the Prot
estant Episcopal Diocese of New
York, asked a Catholic priest to con-
duct one of the Holy Week services
in the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine.
Only a relatively short time ago,
the bishop would not have done that,
and, if he had, he would have been
subjected to q storm of criticism.
Men have drawn closer together.
They have discovered that the things
of the spirit that make for their one
ness are of infinitely greater moment
than the things of earth that differ
entiate them from one another. =
The battlefield knew no creed or
denomination. The Catholic priest
and the Jewish rabbi held their SER
vices in Y. M. c. A. huts. The Catho-
lie and the Jew buried the Protes-
tant dead. The Jew and the Protes-
tant held the cross before the eyes
of the expiring soldier. In the face
of things like these, how can men
find the heart to set up the old bar
riers? Why not leave them down
and let the same exalted spirit of
service have free sway among men
on the battlefields of life, even as. on
the battlefields which ran with the
blood of our heroic soldiers s...s

GERMAN PHILOSOPHY

AS we approach the acceptance or
rejection by Germany of generous
peace terms, it seems worth while to
quote their requiem by that beloved
octogenarian philosopher, John Bur-
roughS: The Germans are without
sentiment or Imagination. They can
understand no psychology but their
own, and on every important occa-
sion miSread the feelings and pur-
poses of the other peoples. The
chivalrous and heroic are unknown
to them. AS soon as the tide of
battle turned against them, they lost
their morale. They had nothing to
fall back upon, nothing of which
the souls of heroes are made. Their
sudden collapse before their territory
was invaded, and while they still had
millions of veteran soldiers at tho
battle front, the cowardly fight of
the Kaiser, the ignominious terms
they hastened to accept, the surren-
der of their fleet without firing a
shot, the mutiny of their crews when
required to face the fleet of the
enemy are all typical of an unheroic
people. Is it possible to conceive of
the British fleet, or the French fleet,
or the American fleet, or the fleets
of any of the Allies. surrendering in
this cowardly way? Had the Ger
mans been capable of reading Cor
rectly the psychology of any nation
that differed from their own, they
never would have forced this coun-
try into the war. But how shall a
machine interpret a living force? :?

gestion in some quarters where
under normal conditions there would
be no unemployment.
What is necessary to overcome is
this disposition to locate elsewhere
than at his old home where the old
job may be waiting. 1t has been
suggested that in order to meet this
situation it might be better to urge
upon soldiers to report back to their
former places of employment and
there determine their future course.
Until such adjustment has been
made, there is bound to be more or
less unemployment in widely separ-
ated localities.
1t is realized that the returning
soldier has had the benefit of dis
cipline and a broadened point of view
as result of months of military SER
vice, making him in many instances
more valuable employe than he
was before he received this training.
With respect fog authority and a
clear conception of teamwork, his
worth in almost any position should
be greatly increased.
Everywhere the various welfare
organizations are aiding in the re-
employment services which have
been instituted in most of the cities
and towns ofthe country. 1t is credit
able for these organizations, which
have done so much for the soldiers
during the period of hostilities, that
they are nowperforming the import
ant work of restoring the men to
their proper places in civil life.
Harrisburg is not falling down in
this work, as it has not fallen down
in any other war activity.

DON'T BLAME THE BANKS

~ ONT blame the banks if in a
few weeks the Victory bonds
go above par and it is found
most of the securities have been
bought up by them.
These Victory bonds are the best
securities ever offered and will be-
come very valuable in a short time.
Bankers know this and are keen to
put them in their strong boxes. But
they cannot do this if the people at
large subscribe for the bonds as
they. should. Uncle Sam has said TO
the banks that the private investor
shall have first choice; shall be
allowed to buy as many bonds as he
wants. So the banks have arranged
TO take care of investments on the
easy payment plan, but in many dis
tricts they do not care whether the
people subscribe or not.
So, if you wake up in a few weeks,
or months, and find that the bank
has the best bonds the Government
has ever issued and you have none,
don't blame the banks. If they take
advantage of bargain you decline,
that will be your fault

A THRIFTY PEOPLE

TT HAS been necessary for Harris
burg and Dauphin county in pre-
vious loans to help Perry county
and Juniata county go over the top,
although the individual subscriptions
in both counties always compared
faVorably with those of this county
and in some cases exceeded those Of
the city district. But this time the
shoe is on the other foot. The
banks of Perry and Juniata have
, subscribed the entire quota. 1t is
up to Harrisburg and Dauphin coun-
ty to show what we are made of. 1t
is now for us to go over the top
And. we should do it easily. Bonds
that are looked upon as highly de-
sirable by the thrifty and successful
.bankers of Perry and Juniata coun-
ties ought to be good enough for us.

THAT RECEIVERSHIP BILL

X RIT1CS of Senator Frank "A.
Smiths receiver of taxes bill
either are grossly ignorant OF
its purposes and intent when they
attack it on the score of increasing
! the expenses of the county, or they
are maliciously determined to mis-
state the facts for political purposes
The Smith bill provides for the
appointment of a county tax collec-
tor, or receiver, and two assistants,
to be paid fixed salaries. These men
would take the places of the vast
number of tax collectors who now
receive commissions for the collec-
tion of county taxes, and the money
saved by the Smith plan would
amount to many thousands of dol
lars each year and the work would
be done more promptly and effec-
lively.
The bill is not new. Senator
Beidleman tried repeatedly to get it
through the Legislature, but each
time it was killed by legislators more
intent upon keeping ward poliu-
clans at home in good humor than
in taking care of the interests of
the taxpayers. 1t is worthy meas
ure and should have the support of
the Legislature. Senator Smith will
do a great service to the county and
save it many times his salary as
Senator each year if he succeeds in
having the proposed statute enacted
this term.

A fO0-PaSSenger Airplane

One of the greatest aerial expert
ments of the century will be made
in England shortly, when a super
triplane, made by w. G. Tarrant
will be launched. y
Mr.. Tarrant says the machine is
nearly completed, and the first flight
will take place soon. The triplane
is built to carry about one hundred
passengers, or six tons of merchan-
disc. 1t has a wing span of $50 feet,
and six engines, which, it is estimat-
ed, will carry the machine five hun
dred miles without refueling. These
engines together are equivalent to
three thousand horse power, and
will attain speed of about ninety
miles an hour.-From the Continent

some notable exceptions, Herculean
work is being done, by the different
bureaus in trying, to locate the jobs
for the boys, but they cannot manu-
facture positions. They act only as
the agent in connecting the two and
if employers refuse to back them up,
their efforts are of no avail. Fifty
thousand jobs were promised to Mr..
Jacob Lightner, of the State Service
Bureau, for the boys on their return,
but there was a woeful hedging and
crawling when the men did return
to fill the jobs and the percentage OF
those who did make good on their
promises. was so small as to be al
most negligible. Small wonder then
that the boys are becoming bitter.
What about the discharged SOL
diers who were taken back by the

Gently laid off? Does that not seem
a direct slap in the face and very
poor reward for what they have gone
through? Can there be any good
reason for such a move? Such con-
duct on the part of the officials re-
sponsible for this action, needs no
comment here, for right-minded
people can form their own opinions.

Our Financial Integrity
[By Fred s. Kent. New York
Banker.

10y FTeu -. henI, ne" Ork
Banker.
There is no question whatever as
to the financial integrity of the
United States today, nor is there
any reason to doubt that it's financial
equipment will keep pace with its
needs as long as such integrity exists.
This Nation has three great forces
physical, commercial and moral.
The part played by our wonderful
army and navy in the war has led
the world to respect and fear our
physical force. The immense pro-
duction of our fields and factories,
land the tremendous trade developed
since the August of 1914, have also
induced the worlds respect, and
again its fear. Our moral force is
the great unknown quantity, that
adds. the fear of the world to the re-
spect which it holds for our physical
and commercial forces. If our ply
sical force is divided against itself
by the vicious agitator, his brainless
followers and their unfortunate
dupes, the world will lose its respect
for both our physical and CONNER
cial forces, and we will have no
moral force. But If our people pre-
sent a united front of integrity OF
purpose, our physical force will re-
tain the worlds respect, with the fear
of none except those who would de-
stroy principle. Our commercial
force, being based on fairness. will
also carry respect, and without fear
except from the false trader, and
our moral force will grow into d
mighty power.
In this great crisis of the worlds
affairs, may our country so control
it's physical and commercial forces
that it's moral force may help ali
nations in their fight for the real
peace. internal and external. iii man
and in country. which must come
before happiness and contertmeat
can rule the earth.

INSECTS IN AMBER
By BRIGGS

The proverbial 'fly in amber" is
strikingly eXemplified in a collection
of red amber from Burma recently
presented to the British Museum by
X. c. j. Swinhoe, of Mandalay. The
amber is unusually rich in insects,
including, according to Professor I.
ID. A. Cockerell, who has examined
the material, thirty one new species,
of which five are types of new
genera. Most of these are found in
a block of amber rather larger than
a mans fist. This has been cut into
slices about half an inch thick. Near
ly every large order of insect is rep
resented with the exception of ants.
