Lord Fisher, who is usually cred
tied with having made the modern
British navy what it is, has taken
his pen in hand for a series of
broadsides devised to shock the
English out of complaoency which
he deems worse than fatal. The ad-
miraps criticism of popular war he
roes has been scathing. He aims
to speak for the future with the
voice of trumpets.
The British have just been read
ing Lord Fishers latest proposal,
presented as Bernard Shaw might
have presented it in his best days,
for q practical bond of unity be-
tween the United States and Britain.
He wants orty-mile-an-hour ships
running between New York and
Blacksod bay, on the west coast of
Ireland, with fast rail service
through the green isle and a tunnel
to England and a tunnel to France
and other radiating lines to the
heart of the continent and farther
east,
The project is colossal and ro-
mantle, but by no means impossible.
It would solve many of 1reland's
troubles. It would give the British
and all Americans a common inter-
est. Such q system of communica-
ton would be to Anglo-Saxons far
more than the Berlin-to-B Bagdad
Railway was in the dreams of the
Pan-Germans. But 1t is Lord Fish
er's parting shot to the British that
should interest Americans.
"Schwab," says he, could do it,"
Most likely he's right.

THE SCOUTS AGAIN

n NCE more the Boy Scouts have
demonstrated their usefulness.
Cooperating with the police
and acting in perfect accord with
them, they did wonders yesterday
in keeping the crowds within the
allotted space and the streets clear
SO that the procession might have
ample room to move and everybody
an opportunity to see.
The police department acted wisely
in taking the boys into their plan.
They were able to do in many in
stances what the police could not
have done. People took with a
smile words of advice from the
Scouts they would have resente 4
from the officers and in no case was
there any of the rushing and push
ing that ordinarily mark the gath
ering of large crowds.
Harrisburg is proud of it's Scouts.
They are good citizens, and they are
getting training in self-reliance, dis
cipline and ability to "stay put"
under difficult circumstances thai
will prove valuable to them all their
days.
But how did we get along without
the Scouts before we had them?
And how did the boys get along
without the Scout organization?

DEPARTMENT MOVES

THB Health Department of the
city has removed from it's Of
fees in The Telegraph Building
into its new quarters in the recently
semodeled Walnut street school
building, now being used by the
Mayor, the Police Department and
the city health authorities. This is
q step in the right direction.
After a time, doubtless, the health
Sfiices will be moved again, and this
time into the proposed new city hall.
But no matter how soon the city
han may come, municipal officials
should give thought to the purchase
OF the school house as a police head
quarters. 1t is we'll situated, has
been fitted up at great expense and
eught to be maintained as a police
skztion, even after the Mayor has
eenoved his offices to the city hall
and court house, which every good
Harrisburger hopes is just around
Khs- corner.

Roosevelt

The great-souled patriot has gone to
rest,
His stormy life is DER; his battles
fought;
We think of his career, his deeds,
his thought,
Who always served his country with
his best.
A bold Rough Rider" on the firing
line,
A President who proclaimed the
Square DeaP'
For all, who labored for the
common veal;
A seer who saw autocracy's decline
Roosevelt lives to-day; his words
still burn;
His life the heritage of all good
men 'E.
He gives us hope, courage; he makes
us bold
The wrong in places low and high
to spurn;
To prize that holy name, ."Ameri-
can,"
To maintain justice for a broken
world.

WELL DONE

TARR1sBURG may be proud of
r. the manner in which it arose
to the occasion yesterday. The
distinguished men and women who
were our guests could not have been
other than impressed with the city's
hospitality, it's beauty, the dignity
of it's Capitol and the immensity of
it's industries.
The people have every reason to
be proud of their reception. 1t was
a fine thing to do. King Albert and
) Queen Elizabeth are rulers of which
any nation might be proud, and
added to that is the love and esteem
for all Belgium that lies in the
heart of every true American. Ever
since the very first days of the war
Harrisburg had given to Belgium and
worked for Belgium and watched
with ever-growing respect, and ad-
miration the conduct of the people
of that stricken land, one and all,
under the most trying of circum-
stances And so we were right happy
to have opportunity of seeing and
greeting the King and Queen who so
lately have come back into their own
after years of struggle against an al
most superhumanly powerful enemy
who had laid waste their fair do
main.
The whole occasion was marked
by that good feeling. unity of effort
and hearty cooperation which is
characteristic of Harrisburg, and re-
fleets credit upon all who had a
part in it.

Another Phase of 1t

[From "Girard's Talk of the Day. in
the Philadelphia Pressl
I've seen coolies in China spading
fields with an implement that cost
q few cents.
I've seen farm laborers in imeri-
ca turn five deep burrows sitting on
a tractor which cost the boss $1,000.
I saw Japanese in Toxic who
worked twenty in a room for four
teen hours a day sewing by hand the
felt covering for shoes.
In Philadelphia you can see men
and women in q great shoe factory
sewing leather on machines driven
by electric power.
I saw in Venice girls by the thou
sands who toiled twelve hours in
a lace factory for 20 cents, and who
ate for luncheon nothing but a piece
of black bread.
Capital behind sewing machine
in Philadelphia clothing factory
enables a woman to earn ten times
that.
Yoked together labor and the big
dollar mark make an unbeatable
team, and it is folly for either of
them to kick the driver, who is the
public, in the face.

In the city of Wilkes-Bar
there is a stirring contest for mayor
between Charles N. Loveland, a pres
ent city commissioner, and Daniel l..
Hart, playwright, after-dinner talker

was one of the Brumbaugh leaders
in the northeastern section, and,
though he won the Republican nomi-

PROPER STEP

THE organization of the property
owners on Market Square for
the Safeguarding of the inter-
ests of that important section of the
city is a step in the right direction.
1t would be good thing If other

improvement of the particular locali-
ties concerned.

Japanese Gain in HdWdii
From the Commercial Advertiser
Honolulu

A steady gain in the Japanese
population of the islands through
the excess of births over that of
deaths is shown by official figures
compiled by the Japanese consulate
made public yesterday. According
to these figures, 397 Japanese were
born and SO died in the islands in
the month of September, showing
that the number of the births was
nearly five times larger than the
number of deaths. The net gain in
the Japanese population for Septem-
ber was, therefore, 314. OF the 397
births, 222 We're males and It's fe-
males. During the month twenty
marriages and five divorces were re-
ported to the Japanese consulate.

By-Products Made From Citrus Culls;
Department Finds Uses for Waste Fruit

Gull oranges. lemons and grapefruit
which were formerly wasted are now
turned into many useful products de-
veloped by the bureau of chemistry.
United States department OF agricul-
ture, which is conducting expert
mental work in the citrus by-products
laboratory at Los Angeles. Cal.
The problem Of how to utilize
economically the Gull and waste fruit
became more acute each year with
thu development Of the large orange
Florida. Fruit which is too small or
too large. unsightly or misshapen, car
not re sold probably for food. Some
fruit Is not At for shipment because
OF minor defects. such as small
bruises. or punctures from thorns OF
gravel or rough boxes. since such de-
fects become points OF infection for
bacterial and fungous growths which
cause decay. The amount of waste
fruit averages from year to year about
3 per cent of the total crop.
The citrus by-products laboratory
was organized at Los Angeles. Cal.
in 1914, to investigate the possibility
OF adapting to conditions in California
and improving existing methods for
the utilization Of waste lemons to de-
possible. new products from the waste
lemons. oranges and grapefruit.
There were one or two small and
struggling by-products companies in
California when these Investigations
were begun. These concerns were
making no appreciable inroad into the
enormous supply OF Gull fruit avail
able. Since the establishment Of the
experimental la laboratory at Los Ange-
les, the bv-products industry has de-
yeloped rapidly. Now there are four
stable concerns manufacturing lemon
The plants OF these con-
Germs have a capacity Of over 50.-
600 pounds Of lemon oil. 100000
pounds OF citrate of lime. and over
100000 pounqs Of cttric acid.
Twenty concerns are producing orange
by-products TO the extent OF 6,000.-
600 pounds each year. These orange
by-products include marmalade. mar
malade stock, jeliies and candied peel.
Improved methods for the manufac-
ture OF orange vinegar have been de-
veloped by the experimental work.
Methods for the production from Gull
grapefruit OF candied peel and juices
of excellent quality have been devised.
The existing methods for the manu-
facture OF citrate OF lime and Of
citric acid have been improved and
adap'ed to California conditions.
The benefits to the grower OF fruit
Ia shown by the increase In the pFqce
OF Gull fruits since the experimental
work was begun. Less than ave years
ago Gull lemons could be had In large
quantities for IS 4 ton, while today
they bring $40 to SIS = ton, notwith-
standing the fact that larger quaint
