Pennsylvania. "e.rman.v and tn. War,

FROM tne rev 4Ork Herald.
Pennsylvania leads all the states in
army recruiting since April with a total Of
being answered in the Keystone state in
an admirable manner. and the enlistments
come from the rural districts quite as
generously as from the cities, as is indi-
Gated by an "honOF roll printed by a rural
newspapers, Town n Country, Of Penns-
burg: showing that no fewer than =
miles square have enlisted. Especially
noteworthy is Pennsylvania fine recruit
ing record because the state is the home
of hundreds of thousands of citizens of
German extraction who by their acts give
proof that hyphentsm is nonresident
among them.
Since the beginning OF the war Amer
leans have been hearing so much from the
Vierecks. the Hexamers and the Weiss
MAINS that the impression spread that
they and they alone, represented the ideas
and ideals Of Americans of German de-
scent; Events have proved that these COM
paratively new arrivals from Germany
had gained a venee of Americanism and
that behind this lay a loyalty to the kais-
er and his de-humaniZed modern Germany.
The Pennsylvanians of German descen.
whose ancestors came to America before
the revolution. and whose blood flows in
the veins Of. millions of Americans are

the real Americans of German descent.
Hitherto. since the invasion of Belgium
and the sinking of the Lusitania they have
turned their. faces away from the modern
Germany that .EElorifies such horrors.

tive proof that they are for the United

When Dan got back to the hotel
for lunch, he found that there had
been many arrivals during the
morning. The Adriatic was to sail
that afternoon, as we'll as the Of

the hotel was a busy place. AS the
head waiter led him to a seat, he
caught a glimpes, far off, of the

man-her father, of course-with
whom she was talking earnestly.
She did not look up, and, in an
other instant, Dams guide had
pulled out a chair, and he found
himself sitting with his back
