A WORK TO BE DONE

IT'S all over - the homecoming
reception for our soldiers and
sailors-and we shall not risk
disparagement of others by mention
ing the few who were responsible for
the splendid character of the COM
munity demonstration. So many
had a part in making the thing q
great success that we can only add
"a word of praise for those who bore
the heat and burden of days prep
aration and who responded gener-
ously and public-spiritedly to the
summons of the Chamber of Com
merce in this important public func-
ton.
There wewre many beautiful and
touching incidents during the cele-
bration and these served to empha-
size the widespread appreciation of
the soldiers and their families of
the program that was carried out SO
we'll from start to finish.
With the closing of the activities
OF the War Camp Community Serv-
ice tomorrow and the demobiliza-
ton, so to speak, of the official
work of that organization, Harris
burg is already considering an or
ganization within our own citizenry
which will undertake to carry on the
purposes and objects of this great
national community effort. The
people of Harrisburg have learned to
know each other better through the
War Camp Service and it would be
a distinct loss should this effort be
entirely abandoned through the
cessation of the war organization S
activities. Governor Sproul is said
to be urging a local community
organization for Chester, his home
town, and leaders of Harrisburg war
service movements are also plan
ming to put into some permanent
shape a local organization along. the
lines of the War Camp Community
Service.
Know thyself' applies quite as
we'll to- the community as to the
individual, and how can we know
ourselves and each other unless we
are thrown frequently together in
some pleasant and practical fashion
that will appeal to our people, rich
and poor alike.

CINCE the days of ancient Greece,
- when various Hellenic inde-
pendent nations or provinces ex-
perimented with international unions
down to this day, liberty loving and
Justice demanding humanitarians
nave dreamed of, and planned for,
a League of Nations, through which
peace and right might be secured
and enjoyed by those constituting
the unon. In modern times one of
the most conspicuous of the advo-
Gates of an attempt of the realiza-
ton of this world-bettering vision,
was Jean Jacques Rousseau, the
brilliant erratic genius of France, in
the Eighteenth Century. A democrat
in temperament and thought, a citi-
zen of the luxurious and tyfannical
monarchy in the days of the later
Bourbons, he boldly proposed relig-
tous, political, educational and social
reforms that were the sensations of
the day, and as propaganda became
a tremendous influence in bringing
about the upheaval known as the
French revolution. With a wit, sar-
casm and caustic logic unsurpassed,
he pleaded for the freedom of the
individual and the democratic form
of government.
In his autobiography, known as
the Confessions" Rousseau alludes
to the Project for Perpetual Peace"
as set forth in an unpublished man
uscript by his contemporary, the
Able de Saint-Pierre. Later with
the abbe's peace project as a foun-
dation Rousseau extends and elab-
crates a full fledged proposition of
League of Nations as he called

SOOTHING THE IRISH

T1 HE administration appears to
be taking great pains to ap-
pease the wrath of the Irish.
Leaders of the race have been loud
in their denunciation of the League
in that 1t does not provide a means
for bringing the grievances of Ire
land before the Council for a hear
ing. Mr.. Wilson has taken the po-
sition heretofore that the Irish
question was one of the domestic
concerns of Great Britain, and hence
entirely outside the jurisdiction of
the Peace Conference and of the
League. Now, in an attempt to win
over the support of the millions of
Irish in this country. he Is giving
a distorted meaning to the Cove
nant not at all in conformity with it's
plain language.
MY position on the subject of self
determination for Ireland" says the
President, lis expressed IN Article
XI of the Covenant, in which I may
say I was particularly interested, be-
cause it seemed to me necessary for
the peace and freedom of the world
that a forum should be created to
which all peoples could bring any
matter which was likely to affect
the peace and freedom of the
world"
In that declaration Mr.. Wilson
would have the Irish believe that
Article XI provides the means by
which they can go before the League
and secure an impartial adjudica-
ton of their claims. He says that
under its terms "all peoples could
bring any matter" before the
League. If that statement were true
of course the Irish would be pro-
tected in their rights. But, unfor-
tunately, the word peoples" does not
occur in Article XII at all. That
article deals only with nations that
are members of the League and
offers no benefits whatever to races
or peoples.
"It is also declared" reads Article
XI. ito be the fundamental right
of each member of the League to
bring to the attention of the as
sembly or of the Council any cir
cumstance whatever" etc. Ireland
is not a member of the League and
never will be. but England is and
always will be. 1t follows. then,
that Ireland and the Irish have no
rights whatever under Article XII,
but England is given the privilege
of bringing matters to the attention
/ of the League at any time.
President Wilson's attempts to
interpret the Covenant to suit the
exigencies of the moment some
times pass muster. but in the present

Man Who SdUed His Soul
[Harvey's Weekly

There was a cartoon in London
Punch early in the war, than which
none more truthful or impressive
has been produced during all the
great struggle. 1t pictured the King
OF the Belgians standing amid his
ravished and desolated country, con-
fronted by the insolent and trium-
phant German Kaiser, who re-
preached him for his folly in not
breaking his faith and letting the
Huns use his land as a base of at
tack upon France and England:
So, you see, you've lost every
thing!"
BUT NOT MY SOUL"
1t was only the fancy of a facile
artist; but it was the very truth of
everlasting history. BY his refusal
of the German demand, King Albert
brought upon himself and upon his
country such woe and tragedy as no
other sovereign and nation have ever
known. But he saved his integrity,
his self-respect, his honor; in a
word, his soul. Saving his own soul,
he saved the soul of Belgium. Saw
ing the soul of Belgium, he saved the
soul OF Europe, of the world It is
an old story, though because of its
truth it must never grow outworn,
that through the stubborn self
sacrifice of Liege the Huns were
checked just long enough to give
france time to meet them; that the
first levies of France and Englands'
contemplate little army" in turn
checked them just long enough to
! give both those countries time to
rally all their strength; and that
finally those countries at awful cost
held the line of civilization against
barDarism just long enough to give
slothful and dilatory America time
to awake to her duty and to hurI
her determining weight into the
scale. But it all began with Bel
GUM, And it is commensurately
true that the ineffable moral and
spiritual uplift which reused hu-
manlty against the Beast, had its
initial impulse in King Albert's
heroic decision to save his soul.
though he should lose all the world
we have welcomed home our own
returning heroes and their gallant
chief. We have welcomed the
prlncely priest who proved to the
world that the spirit of Elijah at
Carmel ana of Paul at Ephesus still
llVed and triumphed. And they were
worthy of all that an appreciative
people could offer them. But no
warmth of welcome, no splendor of
pageantry. no blaze of banners and
blaring of massed bands, no noisy
acclaim of multitudinous tongues nor
silent tribute of grateful hearts, can
be too great for the desserts of this
later guest who now revisits these
shores. Not only a King but also
a Man, the sterEest democrat will
honor himself by honoring him; and
the Red, White and Blue of America
will win new luster through being
entwined with the Brabanters'
Black, Gold and Red.

OUR VISITORS

ARRISBURG is taking its
RI proper place as the great con-
- vention city of the State. 1t
not only does well the things which
are purely local so far as this COM
munity is concerned; 1t is ever ready
to extend the hand of good fellow
ship to all who come this way to
confer in an official capacity or as
fraternal, industrial or business or
ganizations. We have with us this
week the State Chamber Of Com
merce, which has brought hither
many of the most distinguished and
influential and useful citizens OF
pennsylvania. They are discussing
problems of reconstruction and
through exchange of views much Is
certain to be accomplished for the
welfare of all our people.
Tomorrow we shall begin to well
come the delegates of the American
Legion, who are coming to the State
Capital to organize the Pennsylvania
body of a great nonpartisan military
association comprising the men and
women who served in the recent
World War at home and abroad.
So it goes from day to day. Our
hospitable people are ever ready to
welcome these representatives of
various useful associations and to
make their stay with us as pleasant
and profitable as possible. This is
no mean city, as they will have dis
covered at a brief survey. and the
citizens of Harrisburg are doing all
that is within their power to make
it worthy a great Commonwealth.
We want our visitors to have a pleas
anti time while they are with us and
to 60 away with a proper apprecia-
tion of what the city is and its plans
for stilf further improvement along
civic and material lines.

GOV. SPROUTS PLANS

THE inevitable changes of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany in this city are bound to
come soon, but will probably be de-
ferred until the great transportation
system is returned to it's owners by
the Government. OF course, the
outstanding necessary Improvement
is the proposed Union Passenger
Station which will conform in har-
mony of construction and access to
the splendid development of the
Capitol Park zone.
With the erection OF the impress
sive memorial viaduct at State street
and the landscaping of the park area
there will be nothing in the way of
the working out of the Union Sta
tion plans which have been so long
contemplated. Frequent conferences
have been held between the State
and railroad officials, with view to
composing differences regarding the
station Developments and trackage
space, and there ought to be little
to obstruct a complete understand
ing within the next few months.
Governor Sproul is deeply inter-
ested in the composite improvement,
which will include not only the
buildings and the landscape treat
nent in the Capitol Park zone, but
also the city and railroad improve
ments contiguous thereto. All the
State departments under the present
administration are anxious to CO.
operate with the city in working out
the splendid improvement plans
which will not only be comprehen-
sive in their character, but dignified
in treatment.
The Governor stated in his admir-
able address at Island Park on Sun
day afternoon that he had been
coming to Harrisburg so long that
he regarded himself as a citizen, and
appreciating his breadth of vision
and recognition of what the city
itself has been doing over period
of years, The Telegraph only voices
the sentiments of the community

What Do We Get Out of
Peace?

III. N. MacCracken, in Yale Review]
No money. no land, no mandates,
no munitions. no ships, no stand
ing army. certainly no new policy.
Nothing but our old fashioned privi-
leges Of paying as we go and living
with our neighbors. Nothing but
open roads to our markets and q
good price for our dollar, ready pur-
chases, plenty of trade, friendly and
favorable relations with other peo-
pie. These, and a certain moral au-
thority. are our annexations and in
IDENTITIES. In examining a contract
we look for the intention of the
parties that sign. What did We win
by the war? What is 1t our inten-
ton to gain by peace? Not the
terms of the treaty, but the pur-
poses that are in our peoples minds
will make the history of the years
to come

he is looked upon as an adopted son
OF whom we are all proud.
He expects to see before the close
of his administration many of the
plans now on foot entirely realized
in completed projects. In this am
bition the city joins, and he may rest
content in the thought that the
municipal administration desires only
to cooperate at every point with the
State authorities in all that will make
for the improvement of the city as
the seat of government of great
State.

Fragrant
instantaneous COffe e
Made BY a New and Exclusive
Process

The nearer to the boiling point you
bring your water when making cof-
fee, the greater amount of oils and
other properties are lost. But Hires
Instant Soluble Cofree is made at a
low temperature; hence all the
strength and aromatic flavor are re-
tanned.
Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is the
dried pure juice of the most careful
lv selected coffee beans of Java and
Mocha blend. By adding hot water IL
Instantly dissolves. and you have cof-
fee as originally made, and If you
prefer your coffee iced you can have
il. for Hires Instant Soluble Coffee
dissolves instantly in ice water.
Think of the convenience of max
ing coffee by merely putting part of
a teaspoonful of coffee in cup, and
adding water! 1t means no bother,
no coffee pot to scald. no grounds to
empty, no throwing away of two or
three cups that are generally left
over. You don't throw away more cot-
fee than you drink!
Serving Hires Instant Soluble Cof-
fee means having coffee whenever you
want-at any hour of the day or
night And you make IL strong or
weak, according to your own indi-
vidual taste.
A small can Of Hires Instant Soluble
Coffee is equivalent to a pound of the
best Mocha and Java coffee. The low
price is due to the fact that with our
exclusive process we extract 100 per
cent. more juice from the bean than
you can in making coffee in the old
way. Get it at all stores.

A SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly cieansed each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox,
which can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup OF shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just to
the top of the head. This, when
rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand of hair, chemically dis
solves all impurities. 1t is very
soothing and cooling in it's action,
as we'll as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the
lather so created, you will find the
scalp is fresh, clean and free from
dandruf. while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing a
bright luster and a soft fluffiness
that makes 1t seem very heavy.
