Interesting Foreigners

"The whole problem in securing
the interest of the foreigner in any
movement seeking to Americanize
him is very largely a personal one"
says the State Board of Education
in a bulletin commenting upon the
work being done to AmericanizI)
for eigners in Scrapton under auspices
of superintendent of Schools S. E.
Weber, of that city. The report gave
the results of a survey of the for
eign population made in Scranton by
Prof. Charles Francis who found
over 1000 non-English speaking
persons over sixteen. The report
shows that men and women inter-
ested in various organizations are
making efforts to get these foreigners
into night schools ard that these who
cannot attend night schools after
noon sessions are being arranged.
The State Board commends the eff
fort to have employers interest their
workmen in nAmericanization through
schools and urges that other employ
ers follow the example and have q
representative who will encourage
men to study to become citizens. 1t
is noted that one-fourth of the non
Erglish-speaking people are property
owners and that many have been
in this country ten Aedrs without
making any effort to become natural

Justice Is Due Germany
[From the Boston Herald

made them help prepare death-deal-
ing weapons for their own relatives
and low-countrymen. For two
and one-half years we supinely saw
this band of murderers running
amuck in Europe and on the seas.
Finally, rudely awakened, when it
looked as though England, France
and Italy might become vassal states
of Germany and we might be obliged
to fight alone to save ourselves like
wise from becoming a vassal state;
to make the world safe for democ-
racy, so that we might live in the
world as a democratic nation, we
joined the Allies, and after a year,
while France, England and Italy
were being "bled white" we got
ready. With the welcome help of
British, italian and French trans
ports we began sending troops to
Europe. One by one our opponents
were surrounded and compelled to
cry for peace. At last the leader ma
tion of this Jesse James gang has
been rounded up and Marshal Foch
has dictated what must be done in
order to get peace.
II the Germans surrender their
navy, their guns, their forts; if they
scrupulously obey the terms of the
armlStice, as Marshal Foch may
from time to time dictate, then the
duty will devolve on the high court
of justice of the Allies and of the
United States to pass sentence.
There may be innocent men and
women among the Germans, but for
four years and more, when Germany
thought she was going to win, they
did not make themselves known.
The innocent Germans, from Carl
Schurz to Otto Kahn, left Germany
before the war. 1t is too late now
for Germans still in Germany to
come into court and plead ignorance
or innocence. The whole nation is
guilty. 1t Dragged too much. Its
Socialist leaders, while they were
winning, have been just as bad as
the junkers; they must all pay the
penalty. They cannot all suffer the
ordinary penalty for murder, rape
and robbery, but no mistaken ideas
of mercy should prevent justice ito
the uttermost farthing" being meted
out to the whole nation. Mercy
would not be appreciated or under
stood by the German people; they
would consider 1t sign of weakness
on the part of the Allies and of the
United States.

PENNSYLVANIA APPLES

A NY person having any doubts
II as to whether the fruit rails
ing industry of Pennsylvania,
which has been a State policy to en-
courage from the days of Governor
Samuel w. Pennypacker, is going
to amount to anything Is referred to
the simple statement regarding
Adams county made at the office of
the statistical bureau Of the State
Department of Agriculture. This
county, which has often been called
the center of the Keystone States
"apple belt" is typical. 1t illustrates
the attention being given to fruit
raising, which is now In vogue in
Sullivan as well as in Fulton and in
Mercer as in Bucks. The apples of
Pennsylvania are becoming known
every year and as distinctive as the
South Mountain peach and the Erie
county grape, to say nothing of the
Lehigh potato and the York county
strawberry.
Just for the sake of bearing in
mind that the State OF coal and iron,
and oil. ships and shoes, really does
amount to something in the fruit
raising line It should be stated that
in little Adams county there are ISL
