Empty Pockets" Rupert Hughes
new novel, is published this week by
the Harpers. 1t is a battling mystery
of the last year in a mans life, and of
the men and women who entered into
it. The hero was found murdered on
the roof of tenement house and In
his hand he clutched strands of red
hair Now each of the women in the
story, the young and charitable daugh-
ter of a millionaire. the beautiful Rus
sian Jewess, the wife of q gun-man,
and others, all had red hair, and each
had cause to wish the murdered man
harm. Not until almost the end OF
the book is 1t possible to guess which
one Is guilty. Like a Dickens novel.
Empty Pockets is a very hive of
men and women of different classes
whose lives and loves are tangled to-
Dgether.

MORE GERMAN THoRoUGHNEss
Tst, Paul Pioneer Press1

tSt. Paul Pioneer Press1
The world has heard much of Ger
man preparation and thoroughness
since the beginning of the war and
new examples of it are discovered
nearly every day. Two very striking
illustrations have Just come to view.
The one has to do with Germanys
marvellous preparedness for war the
other with her struggle so to utilize
her foodstuff resources as to prevent
famine.
Former Senator W. A. Clark. the
copper magnate, related recently how
for three years preceding the outbreak
of war Germany had taken half the
annual supply of copper produced in
the United States, or as much as the
rest of the world put together. Ger
many's purchases amounted to
6G0,000,000 pounds a year. Senator
Clark declared that it was impossible
for Germany to have used all this in
her industries, and that she must have
been boarding it, as she would gold.
against the possibility of war.
The other illustration will interest
housewives especially. One of the
American delegates to The Hague
Peace Conference, who also visited
Berlin, tells of an interview with Frau
Heyl, 'the most powerful woman in
Germany who has written five cook
books-'one for the North, one for
the South, one for the East, one for
the West and one for Central Ger
many This enables US to utilize the
foods that grow in each part of the

CAREER OF BARON STIEGEL

horses preceded by outriders and
pack of hounds. Yet the Glass House
never really paid. The Baron was
careless about details, a ready Dor
rover. a bad bookkeeper. AS early
as 1873 he sought the desperate eX-
pedient of a lottery to keep Mannheim
afloat. In August of 1774 Mannheim
was advertised by the sheriff of Lam
caster county for debts approximating
900. The bubble had burst. The
Baron sojourned for time in debtors
prison An ejaculation in his book of
devotions shows that, like most ad-
venturers of his sanguine tempera-
ment, his conscience was good. He
ignores his own recklessnesS and mere
ly invokes the Lord against his enc
mics.
To follow the sinking fortunes of
the Baron is unnecessary. AS an en-
ploye at his old Elizabeth Furnace, he
helped cast cannon balls for Wash
ington. He enrolled in the militia,
but apparently never fought. In the
last ten years he moved several times,
living as dependent In 1873 he
sold the two faithful slaves who had
long served him. There is a tradition
that he taught school. In 1885, in
his flfty-siXth year. he died. and no
body took the pains to mark his
grave. 1t is odd that our earliest
type of the speculative manufacturer
should have been German. Stiegel
in his energy, unbounded hopefulness,
lack of method, and waiver of ordi-
nary prudence. is the spiritual father
of millions of subsequent promoters
His interest. like theirs, is not in the
tedium of execution, but in the glor-
les of conception. There is something
of the artist in the type. Stiegel does
not seem to have invented much, but
at least he tried to put his product
on the level of the best that Europe
then made. Mr.. Hunter has spared no
pains in identifying the Mannheim
pieces. He gives reproductions of no
less than 1853, with eight separate
color plates. While the book is a
model of exhaustive research, its eau
tious antiquarianism is enlivened. by
wit and humor 1t is indispensable to
collectors of Colonial American glass,
and it is equally interesting as local
history and biography. The buckram-
clad ocavio is beautifully made at the
Riverside Press, the edition limited to
420 copies.

(From New York Evening Post)


T ANCAsTER COUNTY, Pennsyl-
vania. cherishes the memory of
- glassmaking Colonial, Baron
Stiegel. Legend tells of his eccentrici-
ties and eXtravagances. The piety OF
modern times holds annually, at Man
helm, where his factory was, a Feast
of Roses in his memory. Such is the
legend that Freedrick William Hunter,
in the handsome volume, "Stegel
Glass" has investigated with scientific
accuracy. Naturally some abatement of
the legend results from Mr.. Hunter 8
discovery and sitting of actual docu-
ments. For example, the only decu-
mentary proof that Stiegel was ever
a baron is the doggerel couplet on GER
tain stoves which he cast at Eliza
beth Furnace:
Baron Stiegel list der Mann
Der die Oefen glessen kann.
Evidently Baron was merely a nick
name. Tt was an appropriate one for
the man. Born at Cologne in 1923,
moving to Pennsylvania in his twenty
first year, Henry William Stiegel
promptly married an ironfounder' s
daughter and began a sensational ca
reer as a manufacturer. BY his twen-
ty-sixth year he had taken over Eliza
beth Furnace, his father-in-law's s
property, with two partners. Char
acteristically, he soon quarreled with
them, and began to extend his activi-
ties. From records and excavations
on the spot, Mr.. Hunter proves that
Stiegel began making glass at Eliza
beth Furnace as early as 1863. The
next year he went to England, prob
ably to plan for the famous flint
glass works which were soon to rise at
Mannheim. The first factory ran about
four years. and closed down in 1859 in
financial difficulties. Undeterred by
his bad luck, Stiegel was already build
ing on a larger scale, and adding to
his coarser product colored, cut, and
enameled glass in great variety. For
the time he advertised freely. His
agents in Philadelphia and New York
urged the purchase of Stiegel glass
as a patriotic duty. Boston, how
ever, would only buy his excellent
product when represented as import
ed. Visions of fortune hovered be-
fore the Baron. His progress from
and to Mannheim were made with four

NATURALIZATION INCREASES
IWashington POST

w dSHlHSIOn HOSL
The great increase in the number of
applicants for citizenship papers in
Chicago and most of the other large
cities indicates that the hyphen is
gradually disappearing from Ameri-
canism.
Originally there was general belief
that the increase in naturalization was
due to the fear of many alien residents
of the United States that they might
be called upon to fight for the country
of their birth unless they became citi-
zens of the United States. Lately, how
ever. it has become clear that the rea-
son for the increase is simply that the
aliens wish to remove all doubt as to
where their allegiance lies.
1t is pretty we'll known that there
are about 100000 Germans and about
100000 Austrians in the United
States, but these figures represent a
combination of those actually born in
Germany and Austria with those born
in this country of foreign or mixed
parentage.
What is more significant is that
there are actually two and half mil
lion of foreign-born Germans in this
country exclusive of those born of for
eign parents. Likewise there are more
than a million Austrians and half a
million Hungarians.

REVOCATION AS A REMEDY
Pittsburgh Gazette Times.1

lEllISbuTSn OdZeJJe Times.
Commissioner Cunningham of the
Department of Highways at Harris
burg yesterday revoked the automo-
bile license of a Johnstown man for
operating his car while intoxicated
The culprit had pleaded guilty to the
charge before Johnstowns MAYOR. so
there is no doubt of his offending.
This remedy for the evil of reckless
driving of motor vehicles, if applied
in every instance in which opportunity
is presented, ought to work a two
fold reform. 1t will make our CITY
streets and country thoroughfares
safer and it will contribute to tenn
perance. Considering the enormous
number of automobiles in the State.
and the immense popularity they have
attained. it is a sure thing that when
men discover they may not run their
machines and be drunk at the same
time, without risk of losing the privi-
lege of handling the steering wheel
and the right to operate, they will ad-
just their habits to suit conditions;
and when that is done there will be
less reckless driving.
If the police authorities are alive
to their duty they will inform the de-
partment at Harrisburg of every case
like that of the Johnstown man, and
thus simplify the task of minimizing
Ia nuisance and a public danger.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SAYS GERMANY Will WIN


Steelton, Pa, June %, 1915
I challenge your editorial of June
25th, anent, War Is Not Over" The
heading 1 do not challenge, but your
arguments as well as its conclusions.
Look at facts and conditions as they
are and not as you wish them to be.
The comparison Of the North and the
South have not the least similarity on
German conditions or upon the con-
ditions of the European war. Ger
many and Austria are able to develop
themselves. They have mighty big
factories, and an immense amount of
war material stored up, which will last
your eyes dazzle to see how the Ger
mans store up for the future.
Now, Mr.. Editor. when you speak
of defeat you must show me the VIC
tories of the Allies. There are none.
German strategists are just as able TO
judge as those of the allies. When
ever the allies were defeated, they
The Germans do the same, but they
have not been overwhelmed yet in a
single case. The English navy is
paralyzed by German strategy and
when 1t comes to speak of victory
there is none on either side as yet,
although the English are the heaviest
loosers. Germany Is able to send
nearly all English and French men-of-
war to the bottom of the sea. The
world has advanced since 1861-1S65,
and let me tell you that Farragut was
in the same position as Germany is
in regard to England. The number
alone does not win a battle. Russia
is done for; France is impoverished, /,
England has yet her money and men.
but no fighting material. Italy is no
good, 1t always played the black
handed game. Beggars, thieves, organ
grinders and blackhanders. But Eng
land is making the attempt to get
another class--the Balkan States
which are the cut-throats.
Let me tell you, that victory of
these would mean the greatest calam-
ity the world ever had seen. Will
they be victorious? Never! England
with all its hosts will get whipped; /;
even II the war would last 10 years
England is a sport-ridden country
and what is the saddest theory Is it

THE ANTI-DRUG CRUSADE

TIME government has just COM
pleted a roundup of violators of
the new anti-drug act at Erie.
Hundreds of prosecutions are now be-
ing brought in the United States court
against persons who have sold habit
forming drugs in violation of the fed
eral statute. This was to be expected.
It is no matter of wonder that unscru-
pulous persons have attempted to elude
the government agents in this line of
Illicit trade. The returns are highly
profitable and the demand great on the
part of drug fiends" who had ac-
quired the habit previous to the enact
ment of the law and who were, and
are, willing to pay any price for means
of gratifying their cravings.
However, the federal web is drawing
around all of these. In a remarkably
short time the sale of habit-forming
drugs has become almost as rare as
the manufacture of "moonshine"
whisky or the counterfeiting of ma
ticnal currency. Always we have had
criminals who would engage in either
and run the risk of being caught. AL
ways, also. secret service detectives are
apprehending these and sending them
to the penitentiaries for long terms.
The same will doubtless be true of
drug sellers, except that the demand
| for dope" will fall off steadily for the
reason that few, if any, new dope
fends" are being made. The pro-
4 a..
enforced and unscrupulous physicians
and druggists are being so closely
watched that few people in the future
will have opportunity to contract the
habit. And this is the great benefit
that will come from the operations OF
| the new federal act.
