over seven per cent OF our population
was illiterate. but If the Industrial
League is to be believed the figures
are becoming greater. The league
has inaugurated campaign against
illiteracy in New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut particularly, and
throughout the United States ulti-
mately 1t will surprise mos persons
il this part Of tie country TO know
that there are twenty-five atates il
tile Union where the people are bet
ter educated than they are IN New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Another gratifying pleasure will be
the announcement thai the South is
lar outstlirping the North in ,he bat-
Tie against illiteracy.
At present there are approximately
about half a million adult illiterates
in New York state Probably two
hundred thousand OF these are men of
voting age. The great majority Of
them, of course, are foreigners. This
is very large number OF persons who
cannot read or write to live in com
munity where the means of education
are at the disposal Of all 1t must be
remembered, though, that most OF
tiIese foreign illiterates who come
to cur shores have reached adult age
without any education and that it is
a very difficult matter to induce any
considerable number of them to at
tend night school One of the things
suggested by these figures is a liter
acy test in the matter of voting Hit
cracy does not necessarily mean ig
nGrance, and man who can neither
read nor write may be very good
citizen, but any considerable num-
Der ot llliterales Is certainly a me-
mace to representative government.
The possibilities in the way of re-
ducing the number OF illiterates may
bo understood when it is stated that
in Rowan county, Kentucky, by means
of public school classes, illiteracy
was wiped out in eighteen months.
The conditions that existed in this
Kentucky community may be matched
today in several counties in New
York, Florida aad Georgia and there

He DISCOUNTS IT
Topeka ErancO.Prussian Officer

Germans Do Not Shoot and

GIVES RECEIPTS TO VICTIMS
Government Pays Literally for

Self Defense.
GIVES RECEIPTS TO VICTIMS

That the reports being sent out
from European countries hostile to
Germany in the war of the seven ma
lions, to the effect that German SOL
djers are burning and looting cap
tured towns and cities and are shoot
ing down defenseless women and chill
dren are unfounded. untrue and
against the German mode of warfare.
is the opinion of Joseph GroI, an ex-
officer in the German army, now ltv-
ing in Topeka.
Mr.. Groll is a veteran Of the Franco
Prussian war. when the Germans
began their advance into French ter
ritory during the FrancO-Prussian war
all kinds of stories were told the lower
classes of France about the cruelty OF
the kaiser's men," said Mr.. Groll.
"One of the stories told the lower
classes of French people was that the
Germans were killing and eating little
children Strange as it may seem, the
French believed the tale.
Children along the frontier near
the scene of fighting were sent to
forts or back into the country so that
the Germans could not find them.
"At the siege Of Metz 1 occupied
rooms in a French family's house with
two other officers. The children OF
the family had been sent to Metz.
Although the woman was of the high
er and more intelligent class of peo-
pie in the country, she asked me
whether or not it was true that the
Germans were killing and eating chill
dren. The French people were told
that the Germans were demons. They
hate the Germans-in fact, they hate
everything German and do not hest
tate to believe anything told them.
In Self Defense.
IF the Germans are burning cities
it is because they are forced to in or
der to defend themselves.
During the Franco-Prussian wal
the Germans did not loot captured
CITY unless forced to do SO because OF
hunger. Every German officer Is
placed under those orders.
However, If he is ordered to obtain
supplies or horses in a hostile coun-
try it is his business to do so. But the
