The balmy days of spring will soon
be with US, when the green sward and
the sweet scented flowers fill our
hearts with the joy of living. We
should make the best of each day as
it comes to us. We should not leave
until tomorrow one duty which can be
performed today. And this thought
brings to our mind a few very impor-
tant duties which confront US if we
would consider the welfare of our
people. Pleasantville could stand a
good thorough clean up. Our good
housewives will take care of the
homes, but we of the masculine gen.
der might we'll look to the cleaning
of the streets, and the alleys and the
vacant property. Refuse is to be
found in many places, and these ref
use heaps are breeding spots for
germs, and disease, and often of
death. We expect our women to keep
our homes clean, and sanitary, and
attractive-and they do. No censure
for neglect is to be placed at their
doors. But they have an equal right
to expect that we will keep u other
surroundings in a like spotless condi-
ton. AS we receive, so should we
give. AS we expect of others, so
should we do ourselves. Brothers, it
is up to us!

duty, of opportunity and of service"

We, the citizens of Pleasantville,
would like to know if Pleasantville has
law prohibiting the cesspools of the
town from being cleaned out and the
waste put in barrels and dumped on
some other property and used as a fer
tilizer. One has said there is no dan
ger providing the ground is plowed
before the warm weather. How many
warm days are there before the
ground is plowed? Would like to
have this answered by the physicians
of the town, whether there is any
danger or not. (Signed)

In considering suitable locations
for a South Jersey Normal School,
the claims of Pleasantville should not
be overlooked. The town across the
meadows should prove an ideal loca-
ton for such an institution by reason
of its health-giving climate and it's
close proximity to Atlantic City's
modern schools.-Atlantic City Press.

the fact that President Wilson was not afraid of the German vote and that the export of supplies from America would not be stopped, this stream of hate was turned on Amer ica. There was belief in Germany chat President Wilson was opposed by a majority of the people of the United States, that he did not repre- sent the real sentiments of America and that the sentiment there was faV- olable to Germany.
 Unfortunately, many Americans in Germany encouraged the German peO- pie and the German government IT. this belief Americans used to traV- el about giving lectures and making speeches attacking their own country and their own president and the newspapers published many letters O. similar import from Americans res ident in Germany.
 One of the most active of thes, was man named Maurice Somborn l German American, who represented in Germany an American business house. He made it q practice to SC ahout in Berlin and other cities ano stand up in cafes and beer halls ir order to make addresses attacking the president and the United States So bold did he become that he even in the presence of a number of per sons in my room, on day said tha; he would like to hang Secretary Bry- an as high as Haman and President Wilson one foot higher The Amer ican newspapers stated that l called servant and had him thrown out of the embassy This statement is not entirely true. I selfishly kepl that pleasure for myself.
 The case of SOmborn gave me an idea, and I cabled to the department of state asking authority to take ul the passports of all Americans who abused their own country, on thu ground that they had violated the right, by their abuse, to the pro- lection of passport. The depart ment of state sustained my view, and by my direction. the consul in Ores den took up the passports of a singer named Rains and a gentleman of leis- ure named Recknagel. who had united in addressing a letter to the Dresder newspapers abusing the president Ii was some time before I got Somborn's passport: later on 1 received from hirr the apologies of q broken and con- trite man. and obtained permission from Washington to issue him a pass port in order to enable him to return to America

How the Torrent of German Hate Was
 Diverted to America

On my way iron Berlin to America in February, 1917, at a dinner in Paris l met the celebrated Italian historian, Ferrero. In a conversation with him after dinner 1 reminded him of the fact that both he and a Frenchman named Huret, who had written on America, had stated in their books that the thing which struck them most in the study of the American people was the absence of hate
 FerrerO recalled this and in the dis cussion which followed and in which the French novelist, Marcel Provost, took part. all agreed that there was more hate in Europe than in Amer ica, first. because the peoples of Eu- rope were confined in small space, and, secondly, because the European, what ever his rank or station, lacked the op- portunitieS for advancement and conse- quently the eagerness to press on ahead, and he lacked that fixing of the thought on the future instead of the past, which formed part of the Amer ican character.
 In few hours in Europe, it is pos s1ble to travel in an automobile across a country where the people differ vio- Iently from the countries surrOunding them, not only in language, customs and costumes, but in methods of tllpd6Hl anu pIlN SICdi appearance.
 The day I left Berlin, I went to see Herr von Gwinner head of the Deutsche Bank, with reference to q charitable fund which had been col lected for widows and orphans in Ger many. In our talk Won Gwinner said that Europeans envied America be- cause we seemed to be able to assimi . late all those people who, as soon as they landed on our shores, sought to forget their old race hatreds and en- deavOred as speedily as possible to adopt American clothes. language and thought. l told him 1 thought it was because in our country we did not try to force any one, that there was noth- ing to prevent a Pole speaking Polish and wearing Polish dress if he chose and that the only weapon that we used against those who desired to uphold the customs of Europe was that of rid icule.
 It seemed to me that it was the re- pressive measures, such as, for exam pie. the action taken by Prussia against the Poles and the Danes the Aslatians and the Lorrainers that

had aroused a cumulative instinct in these peoples and made them cling to every vestige of their former nation alty
 German Hate Centered First on Russia
 At first, Wiht the coming of war, the concentrated hate of the German peO- pie seemed to be turned upon the Rus sians. Even Liebknecht. when he called upon me in order to show that he had not been shot, as reported in America, spoke of the perils of Czaris- mus and the hatred of the German peo- pie for the Russian But later, and di- rected by the master hand of the gov erning class, all the hatred of the Ger mans was concentrated upon England. The cartoon in Punch representing a Prussian family having it's morning hate was. in some aspects, not at all exaggerated. Hate in Germany is cul- tlvated as noble passion, and during the war diVines and generals vied with
 each other in it's praise Early in 1917 the Prussian general in command at Limburg made a speech in which he 1xtolled the advantages of hate and said that there was nothing like get tink up in the morning after having passed a night in thought and dreams of hate
 Vogue of "Gott Strafe England" The pHTdSe, bOll SlTdIe EnSldnQ, seemed to be all over Germany It was printed on stamps to be affixed to the back of letters like our Red Cross stamps. I even found my Ger man body servant in the embassy af- fixing these stamps to the back of ali letters, official and otherwise, that were sent out. He was stopped when discovered. Paper money was stamped with the words "CiOtt strafe Eng land" ''und America often being added as the war progressed and as 1 America refused to change the rules Of the game and stop the shipment of supplies to the allies
 Every one is familiar with Lissauers Hymn of Hate" It is not extra ordinary that one man in a country
 at war should produce a composition l of this kind. But it is extraordinary, 2s showing the state of mind of the whole country. that the Emperor
 should have given him the high or

 Undoubtedly, at first the British
 prisoners of war were treated very
 roughly and were starved and beaten 1 by their guards on the way from the 1 front to the concentration camps Of i ficers, objects usually considered more than sacred in Germany, even when ] wounded, were subjected to brutal i treatment. and in the majority of
 their prisons were treated more like | Convicts than as officers and gentle men,

NO ARBITRATION
 OF THE STRIKE.
 SAY MANAGERS

A day letter received by Governor Campbell yesterday from the mine managers at Clifton confirmed the statement received the day before from the citizens committee that the suggestions offered by the committee for an arbitration of the strike had been rejected by the managers From the beginning there was little hope of such a settlement of the strike for last July the managers had agreed upon a statement that the demands of the men related to matters which were not arbitrable
 The day letter. signed by Norman Carmichael, J. w. Bennie and M. H. Mclean, quotes their reply to the cit izens' committee as follows:
 We have given careful considera- tion to your suggestions presented to us on the 17th instant and looking toward a solution of the present in dustrial difficulties which for some time have disturbed this district.
 We deeply appreciate the disinter- ested motives and public spirit which prompted you to make them and will always welcome suggestions from the good citizens of the district intended to promote it's best interests
 s'"Our recent industrial history in this district is well known to all of you and need not be recounted The caus- es and events of the present strike are likewise known. They have ben thor oughly investigated and reported by representatives of the federal govern ment who have endeavored to bring about an adjustment. The merits of the whole situation are well under stood, we think, by all interested parties
 No good can come from further hearings and investigation. The pres- ent state of our national affairs, ap- pealing with equal strength to the patriotism of operators and employees

would prohibit any action on our part tending to probing unnecessarily the present unfortunate situation to which your suggestions refer but the points in issue in this strike in view of exist ing conditions and past history, can not. nor can any of them, be deter mined by arbitration satisfactorily to the parties directly interested.
 we cannot, for instance. arbitrate
Arizona republican., 1917-09-19

this request would be tantamount to recognition of the union, to which we cannot agree. While operating under a signed agreement with our employees, it is a foregone conclusion that the findings of any board of arbitration would be binding upon the companies only. Under the circumstances, we are therefore obliged to decline your sug- gestiOns''
