Won Hindenburg Rumors
TScranton Republican,

What are the facts with regard to
Won Hindenburg, until recently the
hero of the war so far as the Ger
man people are concerned? Some
reports have it that he is dead. They
are not generally credited. Others
are to the effect that he is in a hos
pital at Strassburg suffering from a
severe attack of typhoid fever.
That is more reasonable and, mas
much as the story comes by way of
Geneva, many are inclined to accept
it as correct. Many accurate reports
concerning German matters come to
us by way of Switzerland.
If Won Hindenburg is critically i'll
and in a hospital it is easy to under
stand how reports of his death came
to be circulated among the German
soldiers.
1t is admittedly true that some
thing has occurred to check the
activities of this German COM
mander. His name has not been
connected with anything recently
done by Germany. Ludendorff' s
name is the only one, these days, that
is written side by side with that of
the Kaiser and the Crown Prince.

A CloSe-Up of PerShing

What of General Pershing, who
may one day have as great an army
as any? The question is asked as
often in Europe as in America, says
w. Beach Thomas, in Harper's Mag
azine for June. 1t is not. think,
known in America how deep first
impression his character as man and
soldier have made on the British
and, indeed, the French.
When he landed in England in
June, 1916, one of the British news
papers, whose correspondent had
been for long while in his presence,
compared him with Moltke. who was
silent in IT languages" What
General Pershing, the master of
several Philippine dialects, said was
little and good. When General
Joffre shook his hand in Paris few
weeks later-a scene worthy of a
great historical memorabilia said
to one of his staff. General PERISH
ing will think first and act after
wards" At all junctures the gen.
eral has been cool and prompt and
determined. His colonel in Cuba
wrote of him, "I1e is the bravest and
coolest man under fire I ever saw
in my life" His own recorded
maxims are few; but at the most
worrying crisis in France-when
news of the arrival of American
troops was published while some of
those troops were still in the danger
zone at sea-he said, IT do not
worry, and when the days work is
over I go to sleep"

TAFT AND WOOD

Writing in the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger of the demotion of Gen.
eral Wood by removing him from his
command, former President Taft
says: THE public properly has no
patience with a policy which would
deprive us of the services of valu-
able and able military leader at the
front merely because he has not re-
strained himself as he should from
pointing out the military mistakes
of the Administration. The public
will not approve his impropriety, if
it was such; but it will not think this
a reason for holding him unfit or for
denying to the country the benefit
of his great military knowledge and
ability in this crisis. One may we'll
recall Lincoln's long patience with
McClellan's rude remarks and in
sulting conduct toward him, and Lin
coins remark that he would hold
McClellan's horse for him If Nc
Clellan would only render the SER
vice the country needed. With like
spirit, Lincoln called Stanton to the
War Office in spite of Stanton's pre-
vious bitter criticism of him and
his Administration. Is there not
time to retrace the unwise step?"

COCK YOUR EARS

TTAMPTON INSTITUTE, the

brate it's semi-centennial Novem-
Der 1, and President Wilson has
made'a provisional agreement to be
present and to speak.
We hope nothing will arise to pre-
vent him from keeping this appoint
ment; and it's date, coming as it does
just prior to elections, should enable
him to say something of benefit.
He will not fail, of course, to ad-
vert to the progress which the col
ored race has made since achieving
freedom in the face of the opposition
OF several members of his family who
fought in the Confederate army; and
he cannot fail to allude to the gal
lantry of colored troops who now are
with the American armies in France.
Nor can he escape from dwelling
upon the manner in which the nation
has requited the colored man for his
loyalty and devotion.
In this connection It will be an
excellent opportunity for the Prest-
dent. in the name of his party, to
promise that the impediments which
Democrats have put upon the black
man in the exercise of his civil right

of the honor men, giving him a
personal and friendly word of ap-
probation and congratulation, every
man in the regiment and every other
man who witnessed it knew that the
general was the spokesman of the
the whole United States, here and
at home. The Nation, great and
grateful, was thanking, through the
general, these men for their part in
keeping it great.
Croix De Guerre on Colors
AS the regimental band played the
first few bars of THE Star Spangled
Banner" and merged into la Mar
seillaise," the French general, ex-
pressing his pride at decorating the
colors of a regiment that had shown
such bravery, walked to the regi-
mental colors and tied to the top of
the staff the red and green ribbon,
the bronze Croix de Guerre hanging
therefrom.
This regiment" said the general
'in the battle of April 10, IL and 10,
showed the greatest courage an. a
fine spirit of sacrifice. Subjected to
violent bombardments and attacks
by great German forces, it succeeded
in withstanding a dangerous ad-
vance; and 1t retook at the point of
the bayonet, with a vigorous energy
and the capturing of prisoners, the
demolished trenches from which 1t
had fallen back at the. first on
slaught."
Then the general decorated the
regiments commander, Col. George
H. Shelton, and 116 officers and men
of the 104th.

n N the high plateau within a
~ few hundred yards of the Ger
man lines, with the sun just
smiling through the mist, like a
mother through her proud tears,
Frenchs army corps commander
decorated III members of the 104th
Infantry, Massachusetts,, with the
Croix de Guerre on a recent Sunday
afternoon. The regimental colors of
the 1O4th also were decorated.
The 104th Infantry is the first
American regiment in any war to be
so honored. The award was made
for the signal bravery the regiment
showed in the three days fight in
and about Apremont Wood, which
began April 10 and during which a
bitter onslaught of the Germans was
repulsed with great enemy losses.
The regiment, heavily bombarded
and attacked by superior numbers,
checked the Hun advance and re-
took the trenches from which it had
fallen back, capturing several pris-
oners in its brave stand.
Regiment Passes in Review
Except for the sound of the Ger
man guns reverberating through
the lowlands, the plateau where the
decorations were made might almost
have been Boston Common. The
men were the same kind of men
who, one April day one hundred and
forty-three years before, at Lexing-
ton and Concord, fought for the
same ideals of world honor and
democracy.
AS the regiment arrived at the re-
viewing ground, it was formed in
line and prepared to pass in review.
At the reviewing stand were the reg
mental colors and the soldiers who
had been decorated. These faced the
regiment, and stood about six PAGES
in the rear of the reviewing officers.
And as the regiment, sturdy and up
standing, marched by their COM
manding general and the French
commander, it was an effort for the
onlooker to restrain cheer; it was
impossible, by any effort to keep the
lump out of the throat; and the eyes
of many French and Americans
watching the inspiriting sight cloud
ed UP with pardonable tears.
1t was another of those times
when you felt like turning a somer-
sault with pride just because you
were an American. And as the
American general went up to each

CUT WOOD

TARMERS with woodlots or for
est land who can procure suf-
ficient labor would do we'll to
turn their attention to wood-cutting
There are indications that next win
ter the coal situation will be much
worse than it was during the cold
season just closed and wood will be
in much demand as a substitute.
The Forestry Division of the North
Carolina Geological and Economic
Curvey has sent, through ]. S.
Holmes, State Forester, an appeal to
the local chairmen of the State Fuel
Administration asking them to In
duce the owners of timber tracts to
help meet the fuel shortage in that
State by preparing unusually large
quantities of wood for market.
Pennsylvania has thousands of acres
of forest and immense acreages of
slashings that would yield profitable
returns if culled of wood for house
hold purposes at present prices. We
Hare in better position to avail our
selves of this supply than is
North Carolina, due to our excel
lent railroad facilities and our nu-
merous big centers of population,
but while we are marking time the
authorities of that State are busy.
The matter has been impressed upon
the public there by the recent proc
lamation of Governor Beckett calling
upon everyone to "cut wood" With
the Governors consent, the State
Forester has worked up some of his
ideas into poster form, copies OF
which have been posted all over the
State.
Cut wood, cut wood" he urges
Cut more wood; the time to cut it
is right now. Woodyards-lay in
your supply of firewood now; house
holders-order your firewood for
next winter now; farmers-cut your
next winters wood now; schools and
churches-secure your firewood now;
everyone-prepare for next winter
now"
idea. The immediate establishment
of municipal woodyards in all parts
of New York State is urged by Con.
servation Commissioner George D
Pratt, and rural communities are
warned to make all possible use OF
time that can be spared from other
duties to provide for the shortage
that it is feared will come with next
winter.
Harrisburg and vicinity could save
thousands of tons of coal in this way
If put to it. Many householders rre
ready to buy wood in large quanti-
ties. Fuel Administrator Ross A.
Hickok has asked for the addresses
of those willing to undertake the
work of meeting the demand. There
is no reason why owners of woodland
should not make a tidy profit from
wood-cutting at this time.
