GERMANY AND CHINA,

China is the one neutral which
aligus itself with the United States in
its attitude toward Germany. Nearly
all the Others have expressed abhor-
renee Of the barbarOus practices
which led this country to sever dip

takes the same action. F nrhaps the
Prussian military power VII see in
this defiance by nation long under

final response to the humiliations
which 1t suffered at the hands of the
Germans after the Boxer uprising in
1900 had been suppressed The fight
ing on that occasion was done by Am
erican, British, Japanese, French and
Russian forces. Some time later the
Germans appeared Their customary
greed for indemnities and their dep
relations were such that they hoped
as the kaiser had proclaimed, that no
Chlnaman for thousand years to
come would venture to look askance
at German. Less than seventeen
years have passed, and China not on

refuses to recognize them diplomat

ERRATA,

My dear Mr.. Sherman: Nav I ask
you to indulge me in an unusual cor
rectiOn? Reference is to the article
signed by me in your issue of two
weeks ago. Reviewing the exacting
work of Thomas Mcdonald I wrote !:
"Perplexed and worn out in spirit
and body, with indomitable courage
and unfiinching faith in the righteous
ness OF his work he trfudged along the
way he had marked out" etc. You
made me say "unflinching faith in the
Nightmares of his work"
| am sure you and other friends of
Tom knew him too we'll to think that
his work was ever a nightmare, al
though his last great undertaking
shall finally succeed through the
signs and tears Of those whom he
loved most. This railroad project was
his fondest hope in which he saw
great and unselfsh good; for it's ac-
compllshment he had enlisted for life.

Public Forum

At meeting Of the County Council
of Defense on " ednesday last. one Of
the speakers made the following
statement: u have heard that one of
our business men in this town ad-
dressed the high school students and
told them to 60 to work on tt = farm
this summer but to demand $65 a
month for their services" eff this is
patriotism | would like to a have a
better definition"
Questioned concerning this report
the speaker said that he had no per
sOnal knowledge but that Fe had it
upon what he considered good author
itJ. As this speech was published III
Q local paper and given wide circu-
lat;on and, as everyone in Lancaster
knows that I was the only 'I4ancas-
ter business man" to address the high
school students, | consider it as only
lust to myself to state what l did
say upon that occasion.
| was asked by Mr. Austin, chair
man Of the Agricultural Committee, of
the Lancaster Chamber Of Commerce
and other members Of the executive
board to make this talk.
After outlining the conditions in
this country at resent-explainin
the large number Of wealth producers
who will be called from their regular
occupations and cease to be produc-
ers and the urgent necessity to fill
their places, | took up the subject of
What the High School Boy Can Do"
and urged that every boy in the room
should have a steady job and be a pro-
Queer this summer
| then said, Nov mind you, am not
urging you to donate your services.
This country is not poor in money; on
the contrary there probably never was
a time when we had so much What
we are poor III is food and clothing
and the other necessities of life and
the only way we can get these is to
produce them
The farmers are not poor; they will
get top prices this year and can and
will gladly pay for your services if
you will only work.
What you get will depend upon what
you earn. Some Of you may be worth
SIS, others $25 and some even $35 a
month, but be assured of one thing
the farmer will gladly pay you what
yOu earn"
Evidently this is the part of my ad-
dress which was so garbled as to make
it appear that had urged the boys to
hold the farmer up for the absurd sum
OF $65 a month
No boy or girl in the high school is
Of such low intelligence that he or
she could not understand what l said,
therefore I can come to but one con-
clusion and that is that the speakers
informant manufactured his story out
OF whole clOth-in other words DELHI
erately and maliciously lied.
The only criticism [ have for the
speaker is that on mere here-say ev-
idence he pilloried before the public
Of this city and, through the report of
his speech in the paper, the whole
county, one of his fellow citizens by
charge which if true, should cause
him to be ostracised by every true
American, without first learning from
reliable source whether the charge
he made was true or false.
One hundred and fifty intelligent
high school students and five teach
ers, all college or university gradu-
ates, heard my address. Ask them
what [ said.

While we think of it, why not have
another Fourth of July celebration

Did Teddy lay down when it was
considered that congress would not
grant him the right to raise a divi-
sion? Not at all Instead he and his
friends kept on to victory in the same
spirit the American legion will prove
invincible on French battle fields
This Teddy proposition may strike
one as sentimental, emotional, I'M
scientific but thoroughly American.
At any rate It affords an opportun-
ity to get an army abroad without
treading ON the toes Of the most ar
rant Dacifist and anti-administration
list. The moral effect of Old Glory
futtering behind the French lines
with thousands Of khaki clad BOYS
ready to carry it on to victory, will
have tremendous influence upon the
enemy.

ASPHALTING OF WATER
PIPES PROVES SUCCESS

The city water department shut off
the stand pipe Monday and made a
thorough inspection Of the interior
The object of this was to find whether
or not the inside asphalting done last
fall had prevented further encroach-
ments of rust
The result indicated that the idea
was excellent and that carried out
thoroughly it might save the pipe for
a number of years to come The pipe
inside is mass Of pits some as large
as a mans thumb. By scraping these
down thoroughly and then applying
the paint in generous quantities the
decay may be arrested almost indef-
initely. incidentally new pipe
would cost at least $4,000 if not more,
