Poor Bernstorff's Troubles.

With regret Count Bernstortf con
fessed that ''the fact of an American
newspaper being subsidizde can never be
kept secret, because there is no reticence
in this country"
This national failing was deplorabe
II was annoying and embarrassing to
the kaiser's trusted agent in Washing
ton in his efforts to enlighten the Amer
lean people. They were not so easily
fooled as the honest Germans. whose
government made IL a business 10 stuff
them with stud and official lies. The
German ambassador had unlimited funds
with which to corrupt purcbasable publ
cations or to nourish needy anti-Ameri-
can editors. But none of his ventures
turned out well. at always ends he
complained to Berlin in my being held
res ponsible for all the articles OF any
such newspapers"
The only Investment Count BernstoriT
found profitable was the peace propa-
gauda, which has cost the largest amount
but which also has been the most sue
cessful." He had tried the Embargo
association, which enjoyed the patronage
of representative since indicted Gnd
an eminent western senator He made
Use of the German university league and
other associations, bus none gave real
satisfaction. After the sinking Of the
Lusitania he found 1t expedient to get
rid Of "all dubious individusls'; some
sought to fasten themselves on him as
permanent pensioners, and failing that
they TRY to blackmail us"
The real burden Of Count Bernstorffs
grievances, however, was not that he
spent enormous sums to no purpose. that
he was bled right and left by the kind
of people he selected foc the services he
required. but that he was bound to be
caught ifhe subsidized an American news
paper, because the suspicious of Ameri-
can newspaper readers would at once be
aroused.
We would not tolerate the system of
fraud which the German government cul-
tivated in Germany. We were not kul-
tured,-New York World.

A Tribute.

To the boys returning from their coun-
try's service, the home citizenship Of
this community desire to extend their
hearty greeting, and cordial words of
welcome.
A dark war cloud had arisen far above
the worlds eastern horizon, threatening
to overwhelm the nations of the earth
with the dark deluge Of Imperialism.
These young men stepped forth and con
secrated themselves to the cause Of the
worlds civil liberty. True, not all were
called across the sea to the scenes of
actual strife, but those who were not
thus called had with the others conse-
Grated themselves to the cause of the
worlds liberty. The rigorous expert
ences of the trench and the certain dan
gers OF the battle front all were taken
into the account. Many who were not
called in battle engagement to- Ego over
the top greatly desired to do so. Cor
dial greetings and due honor to these re-
turning men in khaki.
But, alas not all return; there are

noble forms sleeping beneath the soil OF
somewhere in France and there are
sad hearts and weeping eyes amid the
green hills and ~ the valleys Of our
town, and Of those around us.
Perhaps, just naturally, none of us
who are not in the same situation can
fully realize the keen depth Of their sor-
row, but we can sympathze so far as
we are able, and we do. So let bereft
ones be assured that sympathizing hearts
are around them, that the people of this
community feel a measure of loss in
their bereavement, that we sorrow with
them in their sorrow, and wish in these
lines to express our neighborly and heart
felt sympathy.
But sad, oh, sad, those gallant lads
will never all return to see their friends
they left behind, for whom their fond
hearts yearned upon cross in Flanders
fields where'er they fought to save, you'll
find engraved, Here lies a true brave
soldier boy"
"They are the dead, Short days they
lived
Felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now they lie
In Flanders fields" J. c. W.

More Than a Score
Were Injured
INVESTIGATIONS
NOW UNDER WAY
Philadelphia & Reading Co.
Had Disastrous Ex-
periences

Philadelphia, Jan. l4.-Federal state
and county authorities to-day were in
vestigating two wrecks on the Philadel-
phia and Reading railway near Fort

persons lost their lives and more than a
score injured.
Eleven passengers, all from nearby
towns, were killed in a rear-end COLI.
sion between the Scranton Flyer from
Philadelphia and Doylstown local One
workman was killed and three hurt when
an engine ran into a work train, First

son and Frank Frye, both of North
Wales, Pa, had died on the way to the
hospital.
Another victim was to-day identified
as Ella Strong, 10 years old of Amber,
Pa.

the passenger trains was due indirectly
to block on the road caused by the
other accident which happened half an
hour earlier But this was denied by
railroad officials
The Doylestown local which left Phil
adelphia at $3.50 p. m, was standing
about quarter mile below Fort Wash
ington, when the express crashed into it.,
The rear car Of the local was demolished
and all the passengers in it were buried
in the wreckage. Seven of them we're
killed outright and the others died on the

GERMAN PROPAGANDA
nv MEXICO INCREASED
With Germany's Surrender, Propaganda
lists Befogged the Issue Of Real Vic
tory and the MeMcans
Believed 1t.

Mexico City, Jan. Ia Correspondence of
the Associated Press> Germany sur,
render served only to spur German prop.
agandists in Mexico to loftier heights
Of mendacity. In country where access
to news is freer than it is in Mexico,
their lies would soon prove boomerangs,
but in this country, despite their clumsy
subterfuges, the propagandists met with
some success in befogging the issue of
real victory.
In this they were aided by the fact
that the first report of the signing Of the
armistice on Nov. was false. Admis-
sion of this fact by pro-ally papers gave
the German agents a hook on which to
hang charges that subsequent reports
also were without basis in truth.
The out and cut pro-German papers
asserted that the armistice terms ia
vored Germany. They admitted that
the German feet was held in British wa.
ters, but declared that it had not sur
rendered, but was being held only until
peace was concluded and, a. an artistic
touch, modestly claimed that the 400 al.
lied warships "saluted" the German en-
gines of war at the ~intemment' The
surrender of Germany's submarines was
passed over as lightly as possible.
According to the pro-German periodi-
calls only one sixteenth of the German
fleet was given up, not its heart" A
huge navy, they said built during the
course Of the war and held in waters I'M
known to the allies, was ready at any
moment to give battle to the allied
fleets. That this propaganda is intended
not for military purposes, but to pre-
serve the tattered rags of German pres
tige in Mexico for after the war trade
purposes, is indicated by an article in
one German paper, warning Mexico to
beware Of British goods,
One pro-German organ which has q
times reported acts calculated to stir
up hostile feelings against the United
States, is preparing a way out should
German support completely vanish by
publishing another paper, called Impair

gentleness and apparently is adopting an
attitude Of "disinterested neutrality

OLD AMERICAN BREED.
Plymouth Rocks of Different Varieties
Have Long Been Popular.

The oldest of all American breeds of
poultry is the Plymouth Rock. Its great
popularity has caused it to be bred in a
variety of colors, beginning with the
Barred variety, and followed by the
White, Buff, Partridge, Silver Penciled,
Columbian and Golden Barred.
The White Plymouth Rock was bred
from sports" and albinos from the
Barred variety. The Bluffs were orig,
mated in the early Dos and for a time
were the most popular. They were the
result of crosses between the White
Plymouth Rock, Buff Cochin, Buff Leg.
horn and Rhode Island Red In their
early history they varied greatly, but
fanciers finally succeeded in breeding
them to an even golden buff color They
also improved in shape, and for excel
lence in breed type the Buff iss second
only to the White Rocks.
This is fine farmers fowl 1t is q
good forager and a consistently good lay
,er of brown eggs, many of which are pro
duced in the winter The chicks are
hardy and of rugged growth, developing
rapidly to broiler size. When nearly full
grown they make excellent roasting
fowls, and their rich yellow skin and
legs and full plump breasts appeal
strongly to the American housewife.
The rich, golden buff of their plu-
mage, bright red heads, combs and wat
ties, and golden yellow legs make them
striking fowls either in the exhibition
pen or on range.

Eradicating tuberculosis.

The legislature will be asked to in
crease the appropriation for tuberculous
cattle. The request comes as the result
of an increase in applications for test
ing herds in the state This increase in
dictates renewed activity by the cattle
owners of the state in graduating the
disease among their herds Such activ-
ity is pleasing because all milk consum-
ers will be glad TO know they are not
buying diseased milk.
The state department of agriculture,
which has charge of the testing and dis
posal of herds, is receiving considerable
sums from the federal government to
help pay for cattle condemned and
slaughtered. II works out that the fed
eral government pays about the same
amount Of cash as the state government
At present the state government appro-
pirates $4,000 a year and the federal
government pays practically $4,000
more. This gives $4,000 year to pay
for Vermont cattle. But this sum is not
sufficient to test all the herds requested
or to pay for the cattle slaughtered. II
for the coming biennial term the state
should appropriate and expend 100000 a
year the federal government would pay
practically an equal amount which
give the state about $4,000 a year to
pay for diseased cattle.
1t would seem to be a good time to
increase the appropriation when the
federal government will cooperate to the
extent it will at present
Another change that will be asked is
not tc pay a man for a diseased crea-
ure, unless he will have his whole herd
tested and the disease stamped out. I'm
der the present law a man may sell a
COW that he suspects is diseased out Of
his herd. If she is tested and condemned
the state pays seventy five per cent Of
her appraised value and the herd in the
sellers barn is not tested. 1t may con-
tain several diseased animals that will
continue TO spread the disease. The pro-
posed change would require him to allow
his whole herd to be tested and pay dis
eased cattle killed. This might result
in an increased number of tests and the
need of more money to pay for them but
il would effectively stamp out the dis
ease-the real object of the cattle testing
law.
1t seems probable these changes viii
be made by the legislature as they ben
eft the honest farmer and tend to pro-
tect him from his dishonest neighbour
