FERRY OVERTURNS;
SEVEN MEN DROWN
Swollen Stream Partly Respon-
sibIe For Tragedy.

Lewistown, Pa, May 12-The swol-
len waters of the Juniata river claim
ed seven lives when a fiatboat usedas
n ferry at Hawstone Refractories, four
miles east of here, upset, throwing
about fifteen men and a woman into
the food.
Among those drowned are w. G..

Refractories, Alexandria; Superinten-

Brick company, Port Matilda, and
Christ Glunt, a laborer from the Haws
Refractories plant, in charge Of the
boat.
About thirty men came here to at
tend the regular annual reunion of the
officials of the Silica Operating asso-
citation, who meet for business discus
sion on May 10 Of each year, and on
this occasion they visited Hawstone.
After banqueting at the Coleman hotel
they started for the plant in automo-
biles over the state road through the
Narrows and across the swollen
stream in ferry constructed by
stretching a wire across the stream
and using a fiat boat It was on the
second trip across that the men ap-
peared to lose their balance and cause
the boat to dip with one side in the
stream. An instant later the entire

its organ, Die F'reitheit, that Germany
should sign the peace on the terms

They are urged to this, for instance,
by the Tageblatt, which says the un-
friendE attitude toward the treaty
taken by the Socialists of other coun-
tries will not be of assistance, because
they afe in the minority in their coun-

HIGHER RANK FOR
GEN. PERSHING
'B|Iss and March Also to Be
Full Generals. 3,

Washington, May 12.-Secretary of
War Baker will recommend to con-
gress when the extra session convenes,
that legislation be passed giving the
permanent rank of general to Gen.
erals Pershing, Bliss and March. -
! This legislation was recommended
toward the end Of the last congress,
but not acted upon. Strong opposition
developed to the proposal to link Gen
erals March and Bliss with the COM
mander-in-c chief of the American eX-
peditionary force. The recommenda-
ton was transmitted to congress at
time when there WAS much tension ana
Il lot of criticism of the war depart
ment.
Under the plan of the war depart
ment for an army of 100000, on which
it's estimates were biased for the fiscal
year, beginning july 1, provision was
made for keeping many regular army
officers in the higher temporary rank
they have enjoyed nnder the war emer-
gency. Should congress materially re-
duce the size of the army TO be main-
tanned during the next fiscal year, it
will be necessary for the war depart
ment to make further recommends
tions with regardtto the rank of offic-
ers, and many men who have gained
distinction in the war must be drop
ped back to their Irregular rank.
Already many general officers and
offifficers of lower rank have been re-
duced to their permanent regular army
rank. Some Of these would be again
promoted if congress should decide it
lis necessary to maintain u military es-
tablishment of 100000 men and o.
900 officers during the next fiscal year.
Otherwise, the vast majority of regu-
liar officers still enjoying higher tenn
Iporary rank will be reduced. !:

GERMANS MAKE
new PROTESTS
Huns HurI Notes at Entente
;. Peace ENJOYS,
SAY TERMS ARE UNBEARABLE
Prisoners of War and Labor Are the
Subjects of New Compiaints-Meet
Firm Resistance.

Paris, May 1.-Two additional notes
have been sent by Count Won Brock
dorff- -RantZau, head of the German
peace delegation, to Premier Glen - n
ceau as president of the peace coli
ference.
The notes, which were forwarded
Saturday evening, dealt with the SiD-
iects of prisoners of war and labor
legislation.
The replies which the council of four
sent to the preceding German notes,
made public Saturday, We're drawn up,
according TO the Temps, with the per
sonal and particularly active collabo-
ration of President Wilson. The allies
in their reply to the German complaint
that the treaty terms are unbearable,
declared that the treaty must stand
substantially as drafted To the Ger
man complaint that they are asked TO
sign the allied plan for league OF
nations, the council of four pointed
cut that when conditions are met Ger
many may be admitted to the league.
The council of four has not yet tax
en- up the question of Fiume for set
tlement, according to the Havas agen-
cy.
The council of foreign ministers has
nearly finished the work of delimintat-
ing the AuStro-Hungarian boundary, it
is added. The reports of the various
committees on this problem were
adopted in their entirety.
Italy, according to the Echo de Paris:
seemed inclined to cease pressing for.
the time at least, her claim to Fiume,.
and to demand the carrying out Of the.
treaty Of London, upon which her Dali
ma .ian claims were originally based.
In several OF the newspapers the,
view is taken that it is in order for
France and Italy to conclude formal
pact of friendship and alliance, while,
on some quarters regret is expressed
that Italy was not invited to join the.
defensive alliance proposed for France,
the United States and Great Britain.
As regards the peace situation so.
far as Germany is concerned, the allies
are firmly resolved to present a firm
resistance to the Teutonic protests and
maneuvers, the Figaro declares. The
Petit Parisien quotes Colonel Henry,
the French liaison officer, as specif1-'
cally denying the rumor that the Ger.
man delegation is to return to Ser
many. He said, however, that 1t is
possible Count Won Brockdorf- Rant
Eau, the chief of the delegation, will
60 to Weimar for conference. with
the government.
President Wilson intended to spend
the day in the country, but the French,
premier, NJ Clemenceau, the British.
foreign secretary, Arthur J. Balfour,,
and Premier VenZelos, of Greece, call
ed at noon and held a conference with
him. 1t is understood that the dis
cussion related to Greek affairs, which
will soon be taken up with the Turk
ish and Bulgarian treaties.
In the afternoon the president went
for an extended automobile trip.

SOMETHING PSYCHOLOGICAL.

liIAN" 81
WHILE it is rather a fraycd and
bromide expression yet we must use
it and hence when we say that thcro
is something about the psychology Of
the Constitution Of the United States
which few Foreigners ever understand
We mean Just what we say.
"" Of III" United States understand
this intui,iycly but those who nave
come to our shores from lands of op-
preston and class war, seldom, if cycr.
grasp It's meaning.
Liberty for all differs from personal
liberty that allows a man to attack
the state or society in general for
personal or group benefit and is me.r-
" reyersion to that which the Const.-
tuition was written to eliminate.
Yet these visiting interpreters
would have US believe that they un-
dcrstand this matter better than we
do (although, most likely, their life
has been spent in communities here
where foreigners predominant rather
than real native Americans.)
The charge that the Indian is the
only native American is but a means
of evading the issue. The man VINO
lives here, regardless of where lis
parents were born, and who has made
every effort to achieve the spirit Of tire
nation and by the nation we can only
mean the Constitution, is an Ameli-
can. He is the man who has Learned
our language, become affiliated VITA
community life as it deals with the
whole rather than the group from the
old country, and is living by American
ideals a- he has been taught them.
This land ha- too many people from
a..va4 who settle in one ncigl borhood,
continue to speak the language Of tee
home country and continue to live g.,
they did overseas and not according to
American standards. This is not q
hcalthful condition and breeds unrest
such as this country is suffering from
today.
Americans are all right. The our
try is filled with men and women Of
true American type who would be
willing to forego some of their rights
to see such conditions changed and the
deportation of those who menace ~
liberties with false gods.
One of the greatest movements Ct
the reconstruction period should oe
the AUGMENTATION of our citizen
ship.
This is a government for the people
and by the people. For those who come
here and find things not to their liking
there is a sufficient variety Of gov
ernments in the world today for them
to take their choice. This land is ruled
by the majority. And that majority
is not bolshevik or radical.
In the last analysis, as far as We
can learn, those who are at the front
in the present unrest r foreigners.
Many of them having been MAJ
uralized and others given their papers
without understanding the obligation
entailed.
This is a free country, Emma Coli
man, to the contrary, and we would
suggest to this lady, in passing, that
if she doesn't like things here, Ger
tainly Russia should suit her, accord
ing to her published preferences.

Transportation Of the future.

Transportation Is the fundamental
Of progress in civilization. All things
must pass through 1t as through the
neck Of a bottle. If we can transport
energy without using cars to carry 1t,
there is just 10 much gain. Electrlcit,
Is energy without substance. Its
transmission calls for no vehicle other
than a copper wire. Hence Is It obvi-
ous that we must hook to electricity
for distributing the power on which
our economic future as a nation de
