Americans Against War

As time goes on, the danger that the
United States may be drawn into the
European war orgy happily grows
fainter. The crisis was passed with
the Lusitania incident and the present
evident disposition of the German
government to avert hostilities with
this country. That the sentiment of
Americans is wholly against wal must
be evident to every student OF the sub
ject. In hundreds of expressions heard
from all circles. not will betray
any desire except to be saved, if at all
consistent with national honor, from
participating i'll the madness which
possesses the fighting nations OF Eur
ope. AS the Review of Reviews for
July plainly states the fact, there were
millions Of people whispering to one
another, during the period when the
newspapers were shrieking defiance at
Germany, that they dil not wish to be
embroiled in European quarrels, and
that they felt entitled TO peace and
quiet here at home.
The American people are not infat-
uated with the idea that many of their
sous might have TO lay down their lives
to vindicate the consistency of dialec-
ticians at Washington said to be engag-.
ed in exchanging arguments with
foreign governments, Oh questions OF
SC. called international law" Many
of these simple citizens, who had never
read a page Of the elementary textbook
on international law written by pro-
lessor A, Of b college, have been
privately saying in theil family circles
that they wished those ''ot1icials'' at
Washington who were being mysterl-
ously quoted every day as working
overtime in their endeavor to break
into the European quarrel, would lock
their office doors and go off fishing
for the entire summer. The magazine
above is entirely correct in represent
ing this as the real American feeling.
Also that the war ScaIe was manutac-
tured by the metropolitan newspapers
eager to spread sensational news.

Those Pickle weights

FAMOUS FAMILY OF PACIFICIsTs To En-
LARGE ITs SPHERE OF OPERATIONS
Who has not cuckled over the amending
complications in the household of the
Pickleweights = Enoch, the plaintive;
Maria, the masterful; Ichabod, the Ipirn
strategist; Dill, the rotund and voracious,
and Helen Battleax, gallant defender OF
her brothers innocence and helplessness?
For years the fluctuations of this inter-
esting family have delighted readers Of the
Philadelphia North American, and the
characters created by Cartoonist Bradford
have become familiar to thousands. In
fact the Pickleweights haye grown to be
such an institution that more space and
special treatment are required to chronicle
their explosive history.
Next Sunday, July IL, therefore, they
make their appearance in the Sunday
North American, occupying a full page, in
colors. Henceforth, it is understood, they
are to be known to lame as '"The Peaceful
Pickleweights." Bradford announces that
they have moved to the country, in the
hope that tranquil scenes, far removed
from the turmoil OF the city, will allay the
hOstilities that have divided them. The
hrst page IN the series shows them III
| stalled in their new home. Unfortunate
ly, the occasion is marred by some deplor-
able accidents; but it is the universal hope
that the family has entered upon a career
of peace.
This is only one feature of The North
Americans new comic section, which. it is
declared, will be the best in the country.
With the Pickleweights will appear each
Sunday the original Katzenjammer Kids,
whose antics havi convulsed uncounted
readers; "Just Boys" a page OF homely
humor that will delight every one who
has known childhood, and a fourth page,
on the most indulgent of young parents
and ''Their Only Child"
This new comic section will add ina
mensely to the fascination of the Sunday
North American, and should prove a
source of n~ever-ending delight to all who
enjoy rollicking fun. Order from your
newsdealer today. adv.

State Political PrognOstics

Governor James Fielder gave a re-

The United States never got so rich
as in the past year and it is not entirely
due to the expectation materials for
war. The export Of food products was
never greater and the importation of
manufactured products has been great
ly reduced. OF the 724 million dollars
worth $50 millions were grain and
bread stuffs and I73 millions for meat
and dairy products. The blockade of
Germany hindered the export Of cotton
which has been partly made up by
export of munitions of war. The total
expectation of 1898 millions of pro-
ducts are being paid in gold and in
stocks and bonds. There will not need
to be larger exports in the future to
go much interest.

The Penns Grove Record
FRIDAY, U L 9, 1915


Penns Grove will soon realize there
was a change in the Board of Health
administration July Ist. The citizens
may begin to think they should think
about a sewerage system. The cost Of
pntting in a sewerage system and OPP
Grating it will far surpass the expense
of a new high school building. AS the
the mental ground for civic progress
has been broken the psychological
spasm should not be so great even at
higher cost. AS Penns Grove is BOOM
ing at smokeless powder speed our
mental changes in civic progress are
