GERMANY UP
TO SAME BLUFF.
HARDEN SAYS
Openness and Honesty Only
Way to Rescue the
Country

Berlin, via London, May "a
Maximilian Harden, editor of the
Berlin Die Zukunft, writing on the
peace treaty, says:
The peace conditions are not har-
der than l expected. They were un-
pleasant to the greater part of the
people. But could one really have
expected them otherwise?
The Germans have not given very
convincing mental guarantees dur
ing the six months since the revolu-
ton that they have changed their
system; on the contrary the present
government and the press have used
the same methods of Indictment, the
same tricks OF bluff as under the old
rule OF the petty nobility.
The governments proclamations
and speeches are only bad copies of
the Kaiser's time. The whole press
resounds in protests and has started
a campaign of incitement against
the allies, couched in violent lam
guage. 1t is agitating for refusal TO
sign the treaty. and to what use?
AL must know that the allies, by
keeping up the blockade and occupy
ing the coal districts. can force Ger
many to sign whatever they want.
The allies have been threatened
that Germany would join the Boil
sheviki. But that would be suicidal.
The only way to rescue the country
is by openness and honesty. The
revolution has been a great disap-
pointment.
Germany should have sent men
who would have laid their cards on
the table and got the allies to under
stand that some OF the conditions
were unacceptable. If Germany
showed its good will to do what is
in its power to comply with the al
lies requests the allies would see
that conditions were changed in favor
of Germany. because they know
there must be n Germany and that
it is impossible TO destroy the Ger
man people"

Breaking the worlds sealed in
high gear record was the feat ac-
complished by the Model 80 Overland
here in the recent contest staged bv
the Harrisburg Company.
The nonstop feature of the run was
spoiled when the gasoline line broke
when the ear was near Hogestown
on the Carlisle Pike early Friday
morning, hating the motor and dis
qualifying the car for the nonstop
record This however, did not dis
qualify the car as far as making
mileage was concerned, nor did it
eliminate the sealed in high gear run.
The only thing it did do in that re-
Spect was to cause the car to lose
about twelve hours of it's time IN the
seven days and seven nights. there
by cutting the mileage about $50
miles. As it was the remarkable
mileage of 45036 miles was made in
149 and three quarter hours of aclual
running. The best distance made III
seven days and nights in sealed high
gear was by the oklahoma car that
holds the worlds nonstop nigh gear
record, 4370.1 miles.
Running conditions were very TN
favorable. Last Sunday and Monday
were exceedingly hot and the roads
were very dusty, which put the tires
to a severe strain. 1t was partly be-
cause of this hot weather that caused
the tire trouble that threw the car
against a culvert, with the result
that the machine was badly damaged.
Tuesday was about the best day of
the run. 1t was cloudy and cool. Be-
ginning Wednesday it rained a great
deal of the time and towards the erd
of the run the roads became soygy.
The drivers had been running through
the rain with the top down until the

urday and discussed the terms. Two
additional colonial experts have been

The protests that came from var

before the Official terms became
known. are as nothing in comparison
with the wave of remonstrance-
angry, bitter. disappointed in tone
that is sweeping over Germany now
that the treaty has been presented.
States, municipalities, districts, or
ganizations of various sorts, business
mems and women's clubs and the
political parties through their
spokesmen are vying with each
other in finding words in which to
express scorn and condemnation for
the document.

FOR
WASTE PROVES
POPULAR SPORT
Women Fill All Bags in Nur-
sery Home of Harrisburg
Waste Campaign

Searching for waste has taken its
place among the popular spring
time sports in Harrisburg. Thou
sands of paper bags have been placed
in Harrisburg homes to be filled up
in the Nursery Home waste cam
paign, and the workers state that
women all over the city have enter
ed into the hunt with vigorous en-
ergy.
Hundreds of women who were
among the early cleaners had their
waste all gathered together before
the bag distributors reached them.
Others who have delayed their clean
ing declare their intention not to
lose any time in filing up the waste
bag. One woman took the distribu-
tor into her confidence and convinc-
ed him that housekeeping has it's
busy season like any other calling.
I've been SO busy making spring
clothes for the children" she said,
that l haven't had a chance to lift
my finger to housecleaning yet. But
don't you worry about my filling the
bag. The first thing I'll start on is
getting all the rubbish together, and
when that is all done the rest will
be easier
Trucks Follow Bugler
Trucks will start out in Eighth
and Thirteenth wards, Pleasantview
and PaXtang and will proceed
through every street in those sec
tions. Several workers will accom-
pany each truck. One of these is a
bugler, who goes ahead well in ad-
vance of the rest, blowing his bugle
vigorously. This is the signal for
housewives to have their contribu-
tion in readiness.
Following closely on the heels of
the bugler comes the advance COL
lectors. They call at the houses on
either side of the street, and bring
the bags to tn ecurb and proceed to
| the next house. Then the truck
comes along and other workers toss
the bags to the curb and proceed to
