PerShing q Poor Dancer

tFrom the Columbus Dispatch
He's some general, but not much
of a dancer" declared a Columbus
singer, Mrs. Gladys Petit Bumstead,
in a recent letter home comment
ing upon General Pershing, after
attending a dinner and dance at
which the General was present. 1t

scratched shoes as a memento of her
meeting with the famous soldier.
Il was so glad to get to dance with
him that 1 let him walk over my
toes all he wanted to and didn't

This honor came to Mrs. Bumstead
on Frances Peace Day, when the en-
tertainment company with which she
is identified was chosen to be pres
ent at a dinner at general head
quarters in honor of General Perish
ing. The Columbus soprano sang
for him and later he asked her to
dance. She has been with the Old
Glory quintet at Paris and lie Mans
for several months.

Enqldnd ShirkS the Honor
[From Harvey's Weekly.l

The more our English cousins
have been thinking and talking
about bringing old Mr.. Hohenzollern
to trial in London, the less they like
it. Naturally they have been vent
ing their emotions on the subject by
exercising the Englishman's time
honored privilege of writing to the
Times" Lord Northcliffe's historic
newspaper has been fairly teeming of
late with effusion on the subject.
The objections are based largely
upon England's not altogether for
tunate experience as a jailer, as
instanced in the sinking of the Ger
man Scapa Flow fleet under its Gus
todian noses, and upon the newt
able length and mortal wearisome-
ness of the trial, coupled with a
very decided uncertainty of any
other notable result than making a
martyr of the old man and thus
throwing a sort of halo of glory
about a very inconsequential and
rather absurd person for whom no
greater punishment than obscurity
could be imagined.
England wants the Hun member
of the Amalgamated Union of Royal
Hoboes tried, but prefers to have
him tried elsewhere. T. G. Bowles
writes to the Times that Mr.. Hohen-
zollern and his assorted crimes and
villanies" might be left to the judg-
ment of history" Mr.. H. Rider Hag-
gard remarks that 'if trial is
thought necessary to prove facts that
are self evident" such trial should
be elsewhere than in London" Mr..
Haggard adds:
Not only will mud be stirred up
but the resulting mixture will be
used to blacken Britannia's face be-
fore the world. Teutonic hatred
against us will be accentuated for
generations-who can doubt it that
of late has noted the propagandist
power of a welcome lie? Can we
not imagine the tales told to un-
born German children of the tor
ments inflicted upon the national
hero and martyr in the British dun
geons? Moreover, this trial will
certainly add to our home troubles in
sundry ways, and in the end, unless
he escapes sentence in some dra-
matte fashion, as is quite possible
(heEe let us remember the scuttling
of the German f1eeD, we shall be
left to play the unpleasant role of
goaler."
And now comes Earl Curzon, of
Keddleston, government leader in the
House of Lords, with the announce
ment that Mr.. HohenZollern may
not be tried in London after all.
We feel very much inclined to
wager large red apple that he will
never be greatly incommoded by the
results of the international trial,
even if the international trial ever
takes place. And there is a sporting
chance for a bet that it never will
| take Dlace,

Hun Prisoners Crime

[Langdon Warner, American Vice
Consul, in Scribner's Magazine.1
So far as one could gather from
men hot from battle, the Bolsheviki
of the Russian race were less often
concerned in the atrocities in ST.
IBERIA. The execution, it is true, were
more often than not ordered by Rus
sian Jews. But the mutilation of
wounded and of prisoners was COM
monty practiced by the Magyar and
German troops.
For a long time the various Euro
pean and American governments did
not believe that the prisoners of the
Central Powers in Siberia had actual
ly taken the field in large numbers.
1t is probable that Washington was
the last to believe it. But as early
as June, 1918, Geitzmann, Bolshevist
commissar at Irkutsk, threatened to
arm every German and Magyar in
Siberia if the Czechs persisted in
their advance, and it was not a
month before he carried out his
threat as nearly as he could.
1 saw train load after train load
of them pass my car. I saw them
lounging in the streets of the cities
near their internment camps. I
Ldlheu W lHem "neFe Iney lay IN
the sun with the red Bolshevist
brassards around their arms, nurs-
ing their rifles between their knees.
I was arrested by them and brought
both to the Red Guard camp and
the "Internationalist" headquarters.
On one occasion it took considerable
search and inquiry before a soldier
could be found able to speak any
thing but German who should escort
the American vice consul back to his
train.

election details, but there are others
which will be summarized.
The time for filing judicial nomi-

State Department on Thursday
afternoon at o'clock, the close of

Petitions to be candidates for
county and municipal nominations

time for filing does not expire until
later in the month. A number of
such petitions have been sent here
by mistake.

NEW STATION NEEDS

~ SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAM
ELMER'S frank talk before the
Rotary Club yesterday on pas
senger station needs in Harrisburg
was appreciated by all who heard it.
He frankly admitted that depot con-
ditions in Harrisburg are bad and
that the time is rapidly approaching
when some relief will be absolutely
necessary. But he does not believe
there is s5,OO0,000 in sight for such
a building as he thinks the city
should have. Probably if the rail-
roads We're in the hands of their
owners it would not be difficult to
finance such an undertaking, but
with the government losing money
on the railroads at the rate of two
hundred million dollars a month 1t
is not likely that any such sum as
Mr.. Elmer mentions will be forth
coming, and any less amount would
not meet the situation here.
AS the superintendent says, the
kind of station Harrisburg should
have is one that would meet the
rapidly-growing importance of this
city as a transfer point and of which
the people and the company both
could be proud. The State is de-
veloping a wonderfully beautiful
Capitol here. The people are plan
ming a courthouse and city hall to
match the States buildings, and any
depot that the railroad company
erects must be in harmony with
what the Commonwealth and the
municipality are doing.
In connection with whatever tenn
porary Improvements will be neces-
sary it might be we'll for those in
control to think of applying such
cost as interest on the investment
of an amount sufficient to erect
new station. Why spend some hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for a
make-shift when the money could
be used as carrying charges for a
loan sufficient to finance the new
station program?

Aerial Police Neat
birmingham Age-Herald.l

blTnllnSldIn dlus
The day when the skies will be
filled with airplanes, driven for
business and pleasure, is not far
distant. Henry Woodhouse, vice
president of the Aerial League of
America, says more than 500 persons
bought or ordered airplanes in the
United States during the last three
months. He estimates that 500
more are eager to place their orders,
but cannot do so because manufac-
turerS are unable to promise all
early delivery. One company alone
"has orders for over 300 airplanes
and is so rushed with prospective
orders that it has found it necessary
to put on two shifts in its factories
Even at present prices, planes are
easily within the reach of persons
who buy the more expensive makes
of motorcars There are thousands
of expert aviators who were trained
during the war and probably would
not object to serving as "air chauf-
feurs" at wages comparable to their
altitude records. Furthermore, those
who wish to drive their own planes
and get the fullest amount of enjoy
ment out of. the sport can easily
learn.
One fight in plane, as rule, is
sufficient to make an enthusiastic
convert to q person who has never
been any higher above the earth's
surface than the top of an office
building. A few spiral glides, tail
spins and several loops thousands Of
feet in the air and motoring ever
after seems the harmless diversion
of mollycoddleS.

The Hills
Briggs

have walked along the river
That is peaceful in its flow,
Where the great hills stand for
ever
Quiet hills that thrill me so!
To your somber silent rise,
When a noisy day is dying,
Trusting, lift up mine eyes,
When the ways of men are palling
On the heart of men, l know
That the hills, the hills are calling
Me away; l rise and go
From the town and noise and riot
Where the changing days go by,
And i selk the splendid quiet,
OF the hills and woods and sky.
There is shifting all around me,
There is endless, endless change;
And a narrow sight has bound me,
And from out the wistful range,
Is it all, I've often wondered,
Working out for i'll or good?
Wiser men than l have pondered'
On these things, nor understood.
But when the doubts come creeping
Like the gathering of gloom,
When even in my. sleeping
My very dreams assume
The form of mighty yearning,
And terror through me thrills
Look up. o Soul. and turning,
See the Presence in the Hills.

CUTTLE FISH TACTICS

~RUE to form, the leaders of the
administration at Washington
are striving to place the respon-
sibility for failure to act in the
matter of high food prices upon the
Republican Congress. In attempt
ing to shift the onus of the cost-of-
living situation upon the House,
President Wilson evidently forgets
that when he insisted upon the
House remaining in session for this
purpose he at once drew attention
to his own failure to summon Con-
gress in special session when he
sailed away to Europe months ago.
1t was only after repeated urging
from prominent statesmen and
members of his own party that he
was finally induced to issue the call
for an extra session a few weeks
ago.
Had Congress been summoned at
the close of the regular session to
Immediately take up the grave do
mestic problem now confronting the
country there would have been no
occasion for the present hectic ac-
tivities of the administration in its
efforts to escape universal criticism
for apparent indifference to the
United States. while showing all
manner of concern for the people
overseas.
President Wilson should rise
above the pettiness of politics in a
matter of so great concern as the
living cost of the people. 1t is much
more important to find solution
than it is to manufacture partisan
capital by endeavoring to shift re-
sponsibility to the legislative branch
now in control of the Republican
party. 1t looks like the old cuttle-
fish game by which the administra-
ton hopes to get away from a too
, close study of conditions through a
riling of the waters incident to the

why all this talk about foolish and

this Nation should be plunged into

a million, yes a million and a half
fighters in the field inside of a
MONTH"

great statesman" who had swayed
the hearts of that vast audience by
means of his oratory and their ig-
norance of military affairs could
have been placed in that section of

fact. He knew nothing of military
education, did not know even
enough to realize how long it takes
to teach a gunner the art of laying
gun and firing it without crippling
his own men. He did not know that
it takes at least six months to teach
an airman the use of his machine
and the signalling needful just to
give accurately the range and di-
rections from the sky by code. That
great statesman" did not know
how long it takes to organize and
build shell factory large enough
to produce even a moderate num-
Der of shells; or an airplane factory;
| or a shipyard, or battleship. He
| did not know any more about mill
tary education than I did. The
only difference between his ignor-
ance and mine was had been made
to see with white clarity how and
why those boys were being blown

PERSHING'S HOME COMING

~ ENERAL PERSHING will re-
p turn to the United States in
a few weeks to receive the ap-
proval of his countrymen. Through
out the great conflict in Europe he
has upheld the best traditions of
the American army and the high
ideals of the American people. With
dignity and a fine perception of the
obligations resting upon him as the
direct military representative of the
United States he discharged with
rare fidelity the duties which fell
to his lot as the leader of the men
in khaki.
Whether he ever made that dra-
matte speech at the tomb of Lafay-
ette or not, his actions throughout
gave expression to- the A. E. F.
thought which took form in the
famous Sentence, Lafayette, we are
here!" His spirit was the spirit of
the American army and the Ameri-
can people and at no time did he
fail to meet public expectation, es-
pecially in the crucial days when
the German horde was advancing on
Paris and he rendered, without fur
ther delay. the services of the Ameri-
cans already in France and arriving
in constantly increasing force at
every port.
General Pershing has made for
| himself Shis own niche in his
country's temple of fame and will
share with Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan and other great military
leaders imperishable glory.
| He has earned the gratitude of
the American people and will come
back home to receive their sincere
plaudits and the high honors which
Congress will bestow upon him.
