ENGLISH WOMEN BUY FARMS.

Women in England are buying
their own farms or their own truck
and garden spaces in rather con-
spicuous numbers. This is an out
come of the tremendous work done
by women ON the land during the
war. The general feeling is that
there will not be much room for the
common female farm laborer as
time advances, but for the woman
who has a little money and who
looks upon farming as her profess
sion and her life work there is ex-
cellent opportunity in this direction.
On account OF the compact location
Of the garden spaces anGAtte cities
in England, transportation of food
stufs is easy. Garden truck and
flowers grow abundantly and pro-
fusely there.

THE UNIVERSITY OF HEROES

THE war against culture of the wrong
4 kind will result in the development of
.culture of the right sort when the unique
army university at Beaune turns out its
crop of vigorous graduates. Already
this remarkable college is the largest one
conducted in English in the world. Fiji
rteen thousand American soldiers have
enrolled for three months course. The
faculty of five hundred members is drawn
chiefly from the American eXpeditionary
force, which has also organized in other
parts Of France an elaborate educational
system, with post schools and vocational
institutions for the American troops.
The whole praiseworthy undertaking
/, is something absolutely new in military
history and is bound to have profound
and salutary reactions. To be "Beaune"
man will be a distinction warranting
justifiable pride, for, despite the great
ssize of the university, it is of rigidly
: exclusive type. Every one of its lusty
students must have donned uniform on
behalf of freedom. And if the Beaune
.salumni, all educated abroad should
. challenge one of our older home univer-
sites to football match look out for a
real scrap!

the Academy Of Music last night, says one
thing (among many that it is well to re.
member 1t is in his book, From Bapaume
TO Passchendaele':
Always after talk with them Uhe
British soldiers) I came away with deep
belief that the courage, honesty and hui
manity of these boys were world higher
than the philosophy of their intellectual
leaders. and hated the thought that we
have been brought 10 such pass by the
infamy of an enemy caste, and by the low
fdeals of Europe which have been our own
law of life, that all this splendid youth,
thinking straight, seeing straight, acting
straight without selfish motives, with clean
hearts and fine bodies, should be flung into
the furnace of war and scorched by its
fires, and manned and blinded, and
smashed. Only by the dire need of de-
fense against the enemies of the worlds

GERMANY MUST BE FED

| AFTER months of delay the council of
Il ten of the Peace Conference has de-
cided that Germany must be fed, and it
! is prepared to inform the Germans that,
provided they will agree to the armi-
stice terms, the Entente Allies will sup
ply them with food until the 1st Of
August.
1t is not humanity but sclf-interest
that has dictated this decision. Germany
is suffering from lack Of food. Hunger
is breeding discomfort and discomfort is
fostering Bolshevism. No peace can be
made with Germany in the throes Of an
anarchistic revolution. 1t may be too
late now to prevent such a revolution,
but it is not too late to make the at
tempt by supplying the Germans with
the food which they cannot get at home.
This is the first step toward the. crca-
ton of livabe peace
The second step must be the recogni-
ton of the right of the Germans to do
business with the rest of the world. No
indemnities can be collected from
bankrupt nation. The rehabilitation of
Germany is as imperative for the peace
OF the world as the rehabilitation of
France and Belgium.
This is true in spite of all the atroci-
ties of which the Germans have been
guilty.
1t is physically possible to build an
economic wall around Germany, shut
ting the country out from the rest of the
world, but to do it would be like cover
ing fostering sore with a bandage
under the dclusion that we had cured it
by hiding it from sight
The gospel of hate must be abandoned
and the world must hold itself in read-
ness for reconciliation the moment the
offending nation does works meet for re-
pentance. Any other course will plant
the seeds of future wars Jnstead of
Fastening that era of universal peace for
which we are all looking

ignorance, extreme hardship and over
work.
More than 1900 families, which include
about $500 children, have been kept in
tact under previous appropriations in this
state, though the Legislature last year
allowed only S446,O00 to the fund. APP
proximately 5000 families are now on
the waiting lists and it would be possi-
bic, with the cooperation Of the various
counties, which must contribute equally
with the state in each instance, to assure
$50 monthly to each of these if the ap-
preparation now pending is favorably
acted upon.
IL is creditable to the State Legisa-
ture that political interests have never
been permitted to confuse the work of
the fund The benefcaries have to prove
their need and they have to keep their
children in school. The state contributed
an important element to the general
theory by providing that the fund should
be administered from the State Depart
ment of Education. Favoritism is i'm
possible because each request for assist
ance is considered in the order of its
receipt.

Twain so feelingly described as "the
awful German language"
But on the other hand, as most Ameri-
cans arc unable to understand that for
midable tongue and all of US who are
normal are responsive to musical utter
ance, German music should logically
prove more irritating than that which is
to us meaningless. But passion cannot
always pause for consistency, and per-

relative to the sources from which the

A THING TO GET HOT ABOUT

. .WHoEvER it was who said few
w weeks ago that the price Of coal
would go up instead of down has quail
fed as a prophet, for he has foretold
that which he knew would happen.
Word came from Scranton last week
that the Delaware and Hudson Company
would not make the usual fifty cents a
!. ton reduction on April /, but would add
ten cents ton to the prevailing price
once month for the succeeding five
months. And yesterday Pottsvile dis
patch announced that the J. B. Markle
Company has already increased its price
and that the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Company would soon follow its
example.
1t will be difficult to persuade the con-
sumer that these increases are justified.
But what can he do about it? He can't
get any coal unless he pays the price.
Even when he is told that the prices of
anthracite have increased less than the
prices of food he will retort that the
prices of food have increased beyond
reason.
The chief sufferer from these cond-
tions is the average salaried man, for his
income has remained stationary. The
wages of the mechanic have been in
creased and the business man has in
creased the prices of what he makes or
what he retails and is relatively no worse
off than he was five years ago. But the
salaried man is ground between the mill
stones

TO the Concrete Ships

Let us go down TO the sea
AS our fathers did before:
But in ships of steel and stone.
Sprung from the rivets roar.
Ships that fire has forged
And tempered TO the wave,
Built stern and hammered hard,
Nor meant for a deep-sea grave.
The sea they shall doubly challenge,
With blunt blow for blow
Batter the bold northeaster,
Smash on through Arctic foe.
Not ships for the deep-sea sailor
Who hauled to the chanty deep,
Ships with wings of snow,
Astrain to the west winds sweep
Her day is passed, she's sunk,
Her masters gone to steam,
Live steam in a concrete hull,
Black iron along her beam.
So through the northern channels,
No longer the white wings CLEAN,
But ships of steel and granite
Plunge onward, under steam.
