TEACHING AMERICANS HOW
TO FIGHT

SF HE average subject Of the ex-kais-
er was never accused of being .
humorist. Stern eiscipline prevented
even the slightest frivolity. He was
too busy trying to find ''place in the
sun" for Wilhelm. But things have
changed in Germany. The Hun has
become joker. The jovial spirit burst
forth In Berlin. Instead Of being.
stern city Of dark streets under the old
regime. 1t has blossomed into place OF
bright lights under the new. We are
Informed in dispatches from that city
Alderman military officers are be-
seiging the Spanish embassy with ap-
plications to serve in the American
army. They want to teach Americans
show to fight"
No wonder the doughboy smiles.
Coming from Germans the offer Is
a Joke indeed. Apparently the Hun Of
ficers have forgotten the last stages
of the world war when the Americans
caved in part of the western front.
The German private who had to stand
tho brunt of the fighting has not. The
American fighting man can afford to
be charitable with the ex-German Of
ficers. Few of the latter were near
enough to the front lines to accurately
Judge just what was going on, or to
ascertain that the Americans were re-
ally in action.
The Spanish embassy was wise In
denying all of the applications. Amer
lea is not in need of German advice as
to how to fight. The fewer ex-German
officers to step on the shores of Amer
lea, the better Americans viii like it.
There is a barrier against the German,
particularly the officer who partici-
pated or countenanced atrocities In the
recent war, that he apparently does
not realize. With civilized countries
however, it exists and like the unwrit-
ten law, will remain for ages. They
should not only be barred from North
America, but from the countries to
the south Of us as well.
Argentina appears to be the Mecca
for Germans. They seems TO be under
the impression that once reaching Ar
gentine they can, by hook or crook,
reach the United States. They are not
above illegally entering any country.
To combat this movement several
countries have already taken emergen-
cy steps. Belgium and Italian hotel
keepers have resolved not to employ
Germans for ten years. China bars
the German for a period of five years.
The best thing the German can do
IL to remain at home. outside of Ger
many he will be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SO. Germany and Germans have yet
to learn that their war record left a
brand on the world that will not soon
be forgotten, nor should 1T be.

The Merchant Fleet

1t cost the American people a ire

but the report of the Shipping Board
shows that the American flag has been
restored to Al of the great ocean trade
routes of the world. The report says
chat while a majority of the ships are
engaged in trade over transatlantic
routes and in South American lanes,
yet some of them have been placed on
routes where for more than a gener-
alton the Stars and Stripes have never
been seen floating from a masthead.
Thus the ambition of the United
States to have a great merchant ma

Changers Say, More Work. Less Tall

Changers Say, More Work. Less Talk
"In my judgment the agreement of
the Packers with Attorney General
Palmer will not materially effect the
prices of general commodities one way
or the other in the near future" says
T. C. Akeson, Washington representa-
tive of the National Grange.
known factors of decreased pro-
duction of commodities, the shrinkage
in the worlds surplus due to the draft
of man power into the war, the infla-
ton of money and its decreased pur-
chasing value which are the real
causes of high prices, are of so much
greater value than the unknown factor
of the profits of one single class of
middlemenn that there is little reason
to believe that prices to consumers
will be affected at this time by this
shifting of pawns in the commercial
game.
"The only way to effect the cost of
commodities downward is to increase
production without increasing the cost
of production, or to increase the pro-
duction of commodities above the
capacity of the public to absorb them
at the cost of production. More pro-
duction at the same cost will bring
business back to normal. More work
and less talk is the Grange prescrip-
ton for what ails us all.
"If, however, the net result of the
separation of the packers from their
subsidiary lines is decreased produc-
ton and decreased efficiency in the
subsidiary lines, then the ultimate
effect of this separation will inevitably
be an increased cost to consumers.

Gossin From Trenton

Senator Clarence E. Case, of Som
erset County, who will be presiding
officer in the next Senate, may also
supersede William N. Runyon, of
Union, as Acting Governor of the
State from the day the Legislature
convenes, Tuesday, January 18th, until
Tuesday, January goth, when Mr.. Ed
wards will be ~inaugrated. Mr.. Run
yon holds that honor now by virtue
of being Senate President in the last
session, but on January 18th, Mr.. Case
will be sworn in as the new Senate
President and that office, under the
State Constitution, carries with it the
Acting Governorship. Article 5, Sec
ton IL, of the State Constitution,
says the Senate President shall be
the Governor, in the event of a va
cancy in that office, "for the time be-
ing, until another Governor shall be
elected and qualified"
But APPARENTLY the trainers of the
Constitution failed to contemplate the
situation of the present time, where
one Acting Governor is succeeded by
a new Senate President with appar-
emily all the powers and prerogatives
to become Acting Governor also,
Strong precedents bear toward the
contention that Mr.. Runyon, although
no longer Senate President, holds over
in the Executive Chair for the week
and until the time MI. Edwards is
inaugurated. Foster M. Voorhees,.
back in the nineties, was Acting Gov
ernor by virtue of the Senate Presi-
dency when he resigned to run for the
full term. Speaker of the House
David o. Watkins, of Gloucester, then
became the Acting Governor and held
the office until MI. Voorhees, was in
a~ugurated for a full term, although a
new Senate President vas chosen be-
fore the inauguration. Again, in 1913,
Leon R. Taylor, of Monmouth, held
over as Acting Governor until James
F. Fielder was indicted for the full
term, although the Senate elected
John w. Slocum, of Long Branch, to
be the Senate President, and Mr..
Taylor was no longer a member of
The Legislature.

Taxes Lost. irresponsible Government

In ten years, from 1905 to 1915 in
elusive, Salem has lost 1887 in per-
sonal taxes. In many instances the
failure to pay was due to death, but
in the majority of cases the parties
did not consider it a crime to beat the
public treasury. More likely they
thought it clever to be able to "get
away with it."-Sunbeam.
Nobody knows how much taxes have
been lost in Penns Grove the past few
years. Until a few years ago the
name of every delinquent taxpayer
was published before the spring cleo
ton. 1t cost money, but it brought
the result by showing up the men who
shirked their patriotic duty to help
support their government which guar
anteed them rights and privileges.
Since the adjustment of the separ-
ate municipal elections in the spring
government has drifted to l~ooseness
because there is less responsible
accounting to the people. The change
was made on the plea of economy, but
the result has proven to be false.
The Penn's Grove record., 1919-12-26

was signed but a little more than a
year ago the United States had be-
come the leading shipbuilding nation
of the world, both as to tonnage capa-
city and in rapidity of construction.
The board reports that during the
second quarter of 1919, 48 per cent. of
the worlds tonnage was under con-
struction in American shipyards.
What it has cost this government to
achieved this proud distinction of lead
ership in such a short period cannot
yet be computed, but whatever the
sum the results are well worth the in
vestment if the supremacy of the
American merchant marine is main
t~ained.-Washington Post.
The Penn's Grove record., 1919-12-26

The State Labor Department re-
ports that the earnings of factory
workers during September and Octo-
Der were 90 percent higher than they
were in June, 1914, and that food
prices were only 80 percent higher.
