that Falkenhausen, who is generally
regarded in Germany as having shown
extraordinary talents for administra-
ting and exploiting occupied territory,
Will be sent to take the murdered
generals place at kiev.
In the Ekrainian as In the Moscow
instance, Germany appears to have
decided that arrogance and blood
and iron are not the proper "medi-
cine for an enslaved people after
all.
AS successor 70 the murdered MILF
bach, the very personification of junk

suave Helfterich ex- banker and art
connoisseur, who talks in terms of
bread and butter and marks and
pfennings instead Of fourishing the
sword, the iron cross or the almanach

Flakenhausen, too. is regarded as
of the gentler breed of Prussian I'D
illustrators who nevertheless can
get work out of the slaves and prod .

Riots are reported TO be daily oc-
currence In and around kiev. The
message of coincidence and apology
sent 10y the Ukrainian hetman Skero-
padski to Berlin, while unquestion
ably expressing the feelings of the
sender who is known to be hypno-
tied by the invaders who made
him, voices the very antithesis of the
feelings Of the masses of Ukrainians
who, If roundabout advices from Kiey
are reliable, are holding secret Joy
feasts celebrating the murder of the
Teuton tyrant while their alleged rep
resentative sheds epistulary tears
over the demise of his lord mas
ter.

"Pinch hitters FOR Uncle Sam" is the
title Lieutenant Governor McClain has

the farms Of Pennsylvania this spring
and summer
Tho Lieutenant Governor Is very
hopeful about the success of the Gov

bor in this manner. lie believes the
movement will be beneficial to the boys

pressed in my talk to the University

foreseelnE the emergency, issued call
to the boys Of the reserve, age sixteen
to twenty-one years. i'm the schools and
colleges 10 work on the farms i'm the COM
ing vacation period. and if that call is
responded to in hearty fashion the re-
suit in helpfulncss will be infinitely
greater than is imagined by those who
are inclined to be skeptCal about this
plan for farm help. There should be no
soothing at what boys Of ages sixteen TO
twenty-onc can do for their country A
year ago. l frankly confess. I was one
of those inclined to minimize the impor-
tanoo Of boy and young man labor with
no previous experience in farm work /;
but my eyes have been opened to the
fallacy of that notion. Results, facts,
are in evidence to prove the value of
such kind Of help"
