NeLU Governors Cabinet
[Philadelphia Pressl ]

There was no element of surprise
in the announcement of the appoint
ments to be made by Governor-elect
Sproul to important parts in his cab
met. 1t has been known ever since
his election that he would offer the
Attorney Generalship to w. /. Shat
fer, his intimate friend, who was
at the head of the campaign that
placed him so triumphantly in the
gubernatorial chair.
1t is right that the Governor have
at his elbow a personal confident
who, as an experienced lawyer, will
be able TO advise him in the consid-
Grafton of legislative measures. Mr..
Shaffer has had a large legal prac-
tice and is held in high regard by
members of his profession. His ap-
pointment will receive general ap-
proval.
Secretary of State Cyrus L. Woods
will be retained in his present post
which he has satisfactorily filled dur
ing the Brumbaugh administration.
He has been so long prominent in
the political life of Pennsylvania that
Governor Sproul feels assured he will
continue to give valuable service to
the state.
The private secretaryship of the
Governor mas come to be recognized
as almost as important as q cabinet
position. Harry S. McDevitt has won
his place as the Governors private
secretary through the unusual abil-
ity he has shown in recognizing
various departments of the state ma
Chinery on an efficiency basis. He
has tact, executive capacity, courage
and an intimate knowledge of po-
litical affairs, all of which will make
him invaluable in the responsible
and important post he will occupy.

PROPAGANDA
1.-THE Rache Reviewl


1t will be remembered that the
German professors, soon after Ger
many had started the world war,
united in a round-robin endorsing
frightfulness and every other Grim
inal undertaking into which Ger
many had entered, and injecting
into the communication the cur
rent atmosphere of hate and bitter
ness prevalent and popular with the
Huns.
Per contra we now have one of
the Berlin professors appealing to
the Archbishop of Canterbury and
imploring merciful treatment at the
peace conference ''in the name of
Christianity"
The Archbishop very properly
has replied to this hypocritical
plant, that the Allies would refuse
to forget the terrible crime wrought
against humanity and civilization,
when the stupendous war with its
irreparable agony and cruelty was
let loose in Europe and when saw
agery, outrage, devastation and de-
portation began and continued to
the very end and when even now,
in the last few weeks, unspeakable
cruelties to defenseless prisoners
practised throughout the war were
kept up and intensified after the arr
mistice was signed. The Archbishop
declared that Germany must be pun
ished for her grimes,
German propaganda is rife every
where to defeat justice, to influence
modification of the armistice terms.
and TO create the impression of dis
agreement among the Allies,

THE NEW DIPLOMACY
[From the New York Tribune. ]

LFTom the New York Tribune
Did secret diplomacy of the oldest
school ever achieve such amazing
mystery, such complete Concealment
of world secret under one man $
hat as that accomplished by Pres
ident Wilson working in the name
of open covenants of peace openly
arrived at?
That phrase is like the other
phrases of the fourteen and the six
and the four that the whole world
possesses. 1t means, like them,
everything or nothing. The world
has possessed the phrase the free
dom of the seas for many years.
II gained no new notion OF its sisniti-
canoe when Mr.. Wilson adopted 1t.
The same is true of league of ma
tions. To further his conception of
these two phrases Mr.. Wilson goes
to Europe, against the will of the
bulk of the nation. Yet he has
never confided in the nation to what
sense of these words he holds or in
what sense he proposes to fight for
them. He has never explained these
views even TO the Senate, which
shares with him the constitutional
authority over treaties.
BY Ine appointment u llG 1ALOSI
distinguished minds of America to
the peace conference he might have
done much to reveal the aims of his
diplomacy. At least he would have
granted certain securities of con-
ference and debate and joint wis
dom. That, too, he has denied the
country.
We reach almost the eve of his
departure in this state of utter
mystery and doubt. In these last
hours, when it is too late for the ma
ton TO discuss or reply, Mr.. Wilson
proposes to appear before Congress
and state his views. He may say
much or little. But he cannot re-
move the extraordinary impression
which his method has produced; he
cannot, in this eleventh hour, re-
place secrecy by open discussion;
he cannot receive from the country
and bear with him to Versailles the
views and mandate of his nation.
He will go TO impress upon the
peace conference his own personal
views, shared possibly with Colo
mel House, shared possibly with a
few other intellectual intimates, but
kept, until too late for criticism,
from the American people.

III the experience of the Telegraph
in gaining itself a passing equival-
ent for the product it sells to the
public does not prove that after
eighty-seven years IT is still a monu-
ment of strength and efficiency, what
/ does it prove? In many of the large
cities of the United States the pioneer
newspapers have been outstripped
by the so-called eXponents of modern
journalism in the battle for circula-
tion and advertising. In the greater
percentage of instances the pioneers
were pushed from the trails leading
to success simply because age fas-
tened upon their editorial, their
business and their production poll
cies. And so we have in the example
provided by the Harrisburg Tele-
graph luminous proof that age has
only proved an incentive in its race
with modernity.
The Harrisburg Telegraph Is an
aggressive newspaper of the TWEEN

thoroughly complete in all those de-
tails working to perfection in news

This department is in honor of

Not to SaUe For the Germans
GFrom the New York Timesl

From the New York Timesl
There will he next to complete
agreement all over this country with
what Fred c. Wolcott, who repre-
sented the federal food administra-
ton at this weeks meeting here of
upstate food administrators, had to
say about what the United States is
going to do in the way of relieving
the hungry folk in what used to be
the central empires. He saw clearly,
and as clearly expressed, the whole
of our duty in that matter.
They can take only what is left
after others are served" he said.
and they are perfectly able to get
what is left. We don't have to give
them any concern whatever. We
are going to give our attention to the
starving nations around Germany
the nations that Germany tried to
destroy"
That will be called a hard, even a
cruel, policy by the queer people
who thrill with compassion every
time they think of n hungry German,
but with amazing success keep their
minds free from any thoughts about
the millions in France, Belgium,
Italy, Serbia, Poland, Armenia, and
ten or a dozen other countries who
are homeless as well as hungry
peoples whose property of all kinds
the Germans Systematically stole
and carried home, where much of it
still remains.
But there! even to mention the
woes of Germany's victims is de-
nounced as the preaching of re
venge," and to demand, or even to
expect, the restitution of stolen
property is to prevent the restora-
ton of peace and good will. Mean
ing, of course, the peace and good
will of Germany! The feelings of
the lands she ravaged, of the sur
vivors of her massacres and out
rages-they, apparently, count for
nothing with the several groups who
are sure to pull long faces when
they read what Mr.. Wolcott said,
and to condemn his lack of generos-
ity and a forgiving' spirit. Others
will heartily applaud the doctrine he
formulated-that of letting the
Germans get what is left after other
people have dined and pay full mar
ket rates for it.
