sT1HE conviction of Isaac Deutsch and
= Ave policemen is like breath of fresh
air to a suffocating man.
All that was necessary was to present
the evidence to a jury of intelligent and
Impartial men. The verdict was a foregone
conclusion from the moment the courts
consented to a change of venue.
The jury of Chester County citizens, un-
contaminated by the political Vaccinations
OF the Philadelphia political crooks, could
not be intimidated or browbeaten. Nor
could they be bribed The attempt to
bribe one or two OF them was tell-tale.
Whether the trial court permits a new
trial or not it is hoped that the Judge will
sentence the six men found guilty to as
extreme penalty as the law allows. They
deserve it, for it has been proved that they
attempted to conspire to interfere with a
free and fair election, crime than which
there is none greater in democracy, and
that they have deliberately violated the
law which forbids the political activities
pf policemen.
The cleanup will not be complete until
the men higher up, who permitted-if they
did not order-the patrolmen to disobey
the law, are hailed before a jury and COM
pelled to answer for their offenses.

THE wILLIs-CoX sEEsAw IN OHIO

TyRANK B. WILLIS has been nominated
for the governorship of Ohio for the
third time by the Republicans A similar
honor has come to James B. Cox at the
hands of the Democrats.
willis beat Cox in 1914 by $1,000 plu.
raiity and Cox beat Willis in 1916 by 5000
votes There was a presidential election
two years ago and Wilson carried the
State by $4,000. Cox was evidently weak
candidate. He must run this year on the
strength of his own record without the
assistance of a Democratic presidential
candidate to bring out the vote.
1t looks very much as If this were Willis's
turn to win again. At any rate, he will
have the support Of the dry forces, for he
favors the ratification Of the prohibition
Amendment to the national Constitution.

The Readers Vie,vpoint
Who Invented Ice Cream?

To the Editor of the Evenin0 Public Ledger:
Sir-You say that the Italians are credited
with the invention of ice cream. My infor-
nation Is that the first Ice cream was made
by London confectioner named Gunton. 1t
was introduced into America by Dolly Madi-
son, who served 1t at reception at the White
House. In 1911 it was added to the cake
and wine which had been served at the Wis
tar parties In Philadelphia from their incep-
tion. Nancy johnson, the wife of an Ameri-
can naval officer, invented the ice cream
freezer which made it possible to freeze the
cream more satisfactorily than by merely
packing the mixture of cream and f1avoring
in ice. I know that there Is a tradition that
ice cream was discovered accidentally when
Martha Washington left some sweetened
cream out doors on a cold night but this Is
merely one of those interesting and curious
tales that grow up about every great i'm
provement in the manner of living
/ know that in Europe the Italians are
credited with the invention of ice cream and
the Neapoltans consume 1t in great quanti-
ties to this day or to the day when Italy
entered the war but they are wearing bor-
rowed culinary plumes. EPICURE

A MOMENTOUS MONTH

THERE is considerable difference be.
l. tween being a humble commuter, ever
fearful that the train will go without him,
and the traffic manager who makes the
timetables, and can stop or start the
express whenever he feels like it. Within
the short space of a month the world of
civilization has experienced the sensations
of each of these individuals.
From March 21 to July IA, 1918, Luden.
dorf was the wars traffic manager. His
timetable kept the Allies anxiously on
the jump and the danger of missing con-
nections was ever present On July Is
the hand of Ferdinand Foch grasped the
throttle, all Teuton schedules were cam
celed, the war traffic was rerouted and
turned east. It's Ludendorff who misses
the trains now and doesn't even know
when and where they are about to move.
In all the history of warfare there has
been no such sudden and sweeping trans
fer of victorious authority as this. First
Marine" was succeeded by a long stale
mate. Meade's triumph at Gettysburg was
clouded by his inability to continue an
offensive against Lee, nor could the South
ern commander press his advantage after
Charlottesville.
The definite passage of the initiative to
the Allies at the very moment when the
Hun hordes We're booked to reach the
climax of their power is an achievement
whose luster cannot be dulIed, even if the
road to complete victory is longer than
even the most conservative foresee.
In dramatic celerity the event is over
whelming. The tide of war four years in
| reaching its flood, was turned in the

An Interview With the Presiden, Of tn
German Republic

After visit to the National Museum to
see the wax models OF Hndenburg and
Ludendorff preserved there as curious
specimens of the military era) we were
honored with an interview with MI
Harden, the president of the Republic.
We asked the president how it was that
the German Republic had established itself
with such apparent ease.
After the Kaiser had gone to st.
Helena" he said, "our task was simple
We hired a special train and took the
Crown Prince to the leading cities all over
the country, to show him to the people.
EVERYWHERE, as soon as he was seen, the
population became ardently republican.
Indeed, we regard him as the greatest
asset the republic has. We keep him per-
petually on exhibition at the Publicity
Department, with Rosner to act as lee
turer. Those who have any lingering sem
timents of Hohenzollernism are taken
there to see him. One glance is sufficient"
What have you done with the Prussian
army oficers?"
"A good many of them had to be sent
to the obstinacy asylums. The others
have been made wild animal trainers in
the zoo or doorkeepers at moving-picture
shows and department stores They have
been allowed to retain their uniforms, and
have been very useful Almost every
movie has. a doorkeeper with an iron
cross"
And the submarines?"
I'VE loaded them full of all the volumes
of Treitschke and Bernhard we could find
and sank them. I'm afraid that some of
their commanders went down with them.
1t was rather careless OF u.s."
How did you settle the troublesome
question Of Alsace-Lorraine?
After discussion with the French, it
seemed best to turn over that matter to
the people who are so good at ruling all
countries except their own-the Irish. We
converted Alsace-Lorraine into an Irish
republic under the presidency of Sir Ed
ward Carson"
We left the president. marveling at his
sagacity.

importance of Jerusalem.
10 PALMETTO BUILDING

As far as politics and sentiment
are concerned the capture of Jeru-
salem is more important than the
surrender of Bagdad. All Asia and
Northern Africa will see in it the
downfall Of the Turks. Mecca is in
the hands of the Arabs, and Medina,
next to it the most important of the
Mohammedan holy cities. can easily
fall to the Arabs now that the line
of communication by way of Jeru-
salem is cut. The Orient is swayed
by prestige and the British Empire
has re-established its hold on the
East by these signal victories over
the Turks in Palestine and Mesopo-
tamia. The Suez Canal is now out
of danger and the nightmare of in
terruption of communications with
India will no longer disturb the
sleep of Englishmen.
Jerusalem has been taken and des-
troyed oftener than any other city
on earth. With a few brief inter-
ludes it has been in the hands Of
Moslems for twelve hundred years
and the Turks have maintained un-
interrupted sway over it for nearly
seven centuries. All Christiandom
thrills at the news that the cross
once more supplants the crescent
over the holy places, but the sig
nifcance of its capture in a polit-
ical and military sense will be best
appreciated by orientals who will
see in it the glory Of the British raj.
As a counterstroke Germany may
drive at Salonica to win victory IN
