PLAY

No single item of news that has
been received from Russia paints
SO vividly the picture of national dis
integration as the announcement in
a letter just received from a Y. M.
C. A. worker in that country that
Russian children have forgotten how
to play. These children" writes
this woman. have seen so much OF
sorrow that they have forgotten
they are children The instinct of
play in children, puppies. kittens and
all other young creatures Is SO
strong that 1t oyercomes hunger and
cold and misery. 1t is the antidote
for every Ill of life. 1t is the great
and universal symbol of the survival
OF life itself. IL the children of
Russia have forgotten how to play,
they have forgotten how to live. The
piteous state of the children OF Rus
sia is the gravest revelation of the
tensity of the crisis that has para :
lyzed the life of the country under
the destructive regime of the Boil
sheviki. New York Mail.

Sheila Kaye-Smith, whose new
novel, THE Challenge to Sirius" E.
P. Dutton & Co., have for early pub
lication, is an English woman whose
several previous books have won
her an important place among Eng
lish authors. She wrote few years
ago a critical biography of John
! Galsworthy for the "Weiters of To-
several novels, among them The
Three Furlongers,' Sussex Gorse,"
and The Isle of Thorns."
d. 't - 'fI'-...
What America Did," is to be the
title of Mrs. Florence Finch Kelly's
book recounting the achievements Of
the United States in the prosecution
of the war which E. P. Dutton &
Company will publish a little later
in the season. 1t will be compact
| volume condensing into brief space

the fighting forces and of the organ
lied effort of the nation to put itself

In the completion of the work by the
necessity of rewriting. after the
signing of the armistice, of all that
had been previously finished in order
to make 1t cover the entire period
of Americas participation in the
war.
Richardson Wright, writing in the
New York Times Book Review of
Siegfried Sasson, Robert Nichols
and Robert Graves, calls, them the
Three Musketeers of English verse"
because of the friendship which
exists between them. They are all
young men, Sassoon, who Is twenty
nine, being the oldest OF the "in-
teresting trio," all of whom have
fought and been wounded in The
war. "They represent" he says,
'the new age In English verse; that
is. they express in poetry the atti-
tude of the young men in the war.
1t would be absurd" he continues,
ito oisay that they represent school.
for, although the closest Of friends,
each expresses n different view
point" Sassoon's viewpoint and
striking poetic ability are we'll
known to American readers through
his THE Old Huntsman and Other
Poems" published by e. p. Dutton
& Co. last year. Mr.. Wright de-
scribes him as "a tall. handsome lad

in France and one in Palestine,
holds the War Cross and has an

ton year ago, but for some reason
the plan OF obtaining an expert head
for the Water Department was post
poned. It is not reasonable to ex-
pect one without technical knowl-
edge to properly safeguard this i'm
portant public utility. If the pump
ing facilities and the filter plant are
again in first class working order
there is additional reason for pro-
viding one with technical ability to
supervise their operation and keep
them so.
Another thing which the Mayor
recommends and which will make
him more friends than any other of
his official suggestions, is the propo-
sition to provide bathing facilities on
our water front. This has been a
popular demand for several years
and now that the war Is over there
is no occasion for further procras-
tinating in what is not t-only a provi-
sion for the pleasure of the people,
but also a wholesome provision for
their health and comfort. Let us
hope proper bath houses-either sta
uonary or fioating-will be provided
for the bathing season of 1919 and
now is the time to make real start
in that direction. Commissioner
Gross erred greatly when he permit
ted that item be stricken from the
budget for the coming twelve
months.
AS business men and all others
gather UP the loose ends at the be-
ginning of the year so should our
city officials do likewise. Mayor
keister's comments and suggestions
indicate that the city administration
Is giving thought to these matters
which concern the public welfare.

MAYORS MESSAGE

-AyOR Keister's review of mu-
MI nicipal activities for the last
AVA wear was somewhat IN the ma
fupe OF an accounting of official
stewardship and 1t was of more than
usual interest from that standpoint.
Some of his recommendations should
have Immediate consideration. espe-
cially those having to do with park
ing problems and the erection of a
building for the Joint use OF the city
and county.
with respect to regulation for the
barking of automobiles and other ve-
hicies in the congested section of the
bity there is no room for discussion.
Something must be done and with
out further delay. We have had mu-
nicipal surveys and expert advice on
this question and the time has come
when there should be action with
view, to relieving intolerable condi-
tfons on certain important streets.
Most people will agree that the hedg-
ing of Market street and the main
shopping. district with empty auto
mobiles during the afternoon and
evening while their owners and occu-
pants are spending the passing hours
in moving picture shows or elsewhere
is Inexcusable and provincial to the,
last degree, In a modern city like
Harrisburg this sort of thing ought
not be tolerated day longer than
necessary to. make other traffic rules
and regulations.
1t is not an easy problem, of
course, and will require serious con-
sideration of certain elements in the
situation, but there ought to be and
must, be, some solution either in
forcing ears that are out of use for
hours at time into garages or upon
streets that are not in constant use
AS to the joint city and county
building there is no difference of
opinion. There is general approval
of that, proposition and the Board of
County Commissioners are in har-
mony with the business-like attitude
,of5the City Council.
!, mayor Keister will also have the
.tiranimous assent of the public to
his recommendations that the Dom
alto statuary should be placed without
further palaver. This fine group was
Presented to the city by generous
Citizen OF the county and ought to
have been set UP long ago. II ia
not creditable to the good sense or
the artistic atptosphere of HARRIS
burg that1t has SO long remained in
the warehopse. H.
An even more important recon-
llnsHsihtio hssf the Mayor is the urg-
ms Of thsssnpioyment of an expert
wataF SIP ertntendent. This was
pTsdttrally agreed upon during the
pftdaA e worry pnd. loss following

enviable record for valor." Mase-
| field has called these three young
poets The morning stars of Eng
| lish poetry" and Richardson Wright
goes on to say of them that "all
three bear the marks of the new
| old age which is characterizing SO
many young Englishmen to-day. 1t
is," he says, "a sudden maturity, a
quick perception of things hereto
! fore hidden and a willingness to
laugh at, even to destroy, the tradi-
! tional ago which has been holding
the. whip-hand in England for gen.
erations."
c. L. Carlsen who put the knowl-
edge he had, gained by several years
! residence in the Philippines to in
! teresting use in his story of THE
Tanning of Kalinga," two years ago.
has written another novel of life
among the Filipinos, under the title
The Son of Pio," which e. p. Dut-
ton & Co., are preparing for early
publication. ~
!. One of the most fascinating books
that the war produced was Francis
Brett Youns's Marching on Tan
ga" in which he told in vivid Ian
guase, ana WIN much or the SenSt-
/ bility of the poet to beauties of ma
ture and of the novelist to human
drama, how General Smuts drove the
Germans out of East Africa. Now he
! has written novel seemed in that
same country and dealing with n
! tragic bit OF human history bound
| up with the German occupation,
| German methods and the coming of
the war. 1t is called The Crescent
Moon" and E. P. Dutton & Co, will
publish 1t within a week or two.
An American edition of ". Blasco
Thanez's novel, THE Shadow of the
Cathedral" Is being prepared for an
early publication by. E. p. Dutton &
Co., who brought out an edition of
the book imported from England
several years ago. 1t will have an
Introduction by William Dean How
ellis, who is q warm admirer of the
Spanish noveIist's work. When the
novel was published in Spain 1t
aroused the hot Indignation of the
aristocracy and other privileged
classes because of its liberal spirit,
for Ibanez shows that the two chief
causes of the backwardness of Spain
are it's parasitic aristocracy and the
dominating influence of the church.
The story is rich and varied in its
depletion of Spanish life.

THE ROOSEVELT GREED

Virtue by itself is not enough. or
anything like enough. Strength
must be added to 1t. and the deter
mination to use that strength. The
good man who is ineffective is not
able to make his goodness of much
account to the people as whole.
No matter how much a man hears
the word, small Is the credit attach
ed to him II he fails to be door,
also; and in serving tho Lord he
must remember that he needs avoid
sloth in his business as we'll as cult
vate fervency of spirit.--From an

What is true of Johnstown is true

act as a clearing house for opinion

to originate as well as discuss. 1t
ought to lay the foundations this
year for a general housing scheme
to be enacted at the earliest possible
moment, prices of materials and
labor being one OF the chief consider

on any housing investment must
necessarily be low and the invest

possible with good results in order

the advantage of low costs
