"The operations of the German-American Citizens
League, and the work of DR.. Herman Gerhard as its secretary,
may well be watched with a good deal of interest" a writer in
The Milwaukee Journal remarks, as the conclusion OF a careful
study of the origin and ancestry of this recently-born, hyphen-
ated organization.
One thing is already tolerably clear about the new league
it is a revival or an attempt to revive, the notorious German
by congress as a result of the exposure OF its alien and enemy
activities during the war. The existence OF the present Orgahi-
cation appears to have been first called to public attention IN
the Chicago election, when it contributed to the re-seating OF
Mayor Bill Thompson. 1t now threatens to expand nation
wide under the vigorous and skillful direction of DR.. Gerhard,
who admits having been concerned i'll some OF the enterprises
that were engineered to aid Germany in the war by the lndl-
rect method of keeping America out OF 1t.
This successor to the German-Amerlcan Alliance ana
every hyphenated American who becomes a member OF II, VIII
indeed bear watching. Just at present, it appears, its member
ship list is a strictly guarded secret. The preposterous clam
is set up that one of its main objects is to afford It's members
"instruction about American institutions. The instruction
will be in the German language, of course-for the interesting
reason. as one of its promoters explains, that that Will help
the "gemuthlichkeit' of the meetings, the cheerfulness and
good feeling of members. We know by bitter experience what
this gemuthlichkeit really means-the excessive good feeling
OF unassimilated Germans for Germany, "uber allies, for It's
hateful institutions and everything it stood for, openly, down
to the time that the attempt to spread gemuthlichket by the
persuasive methods of the brute and the bully met with a
catastrophe rebuff.

THE REPLY OF TURKEY

The allies reply to Turkey is marked like their reply to
Germany, by clearness and vigor. The Ottoman statesman
can take small comfort from it. 1t tears IN shreds the pre-
tence of Turkeys right to lenient treatment. and lets Constan-
tinople know in advance that it need expect nothing OF the
sort. Ii would. indeed, be a sorry peace for civilization that
let the unspeakable Turk go short of justice.
Speaking for Turkey. Damad Ferid Pasha, the grand vizier,
argued that the present government should not be held re-
sponsible for the misdeeds, of its predecessors. That is a
familiar but impotent plea. If ii were admitted, a most
dangerous precedent would be established. All that a criminal
country would have to do in order to escape the consequences
of its offending would be to change its government. or
course the allied statesmen were not taken III by the grand
vizier's appeal. and it is a question whether he expected. deep
in his heart. that they would be.
Damad Ferid acknowledges the guilt of Turkey in the
past. He says it is far from his thought to cast a veil over her
crimes. which are such as to make the conscience of man
Kind shudder with horror forever But, he says, the RESPONSE
biliy rests with the signatories of the secret treaties between
the German and Ottoman governments, which were unknown
TO The Turkish people. The allied reply says:
"A nation must be judged by the government
which rules it, which directs its foreign policy, which
controls its armies. Nor can Turkey claim any relief
from the legitimate consequences of this doctrine
merely because her affairs. at a most critical moment
in her history, had fallen into the hands of men
who. utterly devoid of the principle of pity, could not
even command success"
The Turks are naturally anxious not to have their empire
divided. but the entente memorandum on this point IS I'M
answeraile. It declares that there is no case to be found
anywhere ia the three continents over which the Ottoman
rule has been spread. "in which the establishment of Turkish
rule has not been followed by a diminution Of material pros
pemty and a fall in the level of culture. Nor is there any case
to be found in which the withdrawal of Turkish rule has not
been followed by a growth IN prosperity ana a rise III tne
level of culture" This is a strong. frank and absolutely true
indictment, against which the grand vizier will protest, II at
ell. in vain. The world would be well served if there were no
Turkish Empire, in either Europe, Asia or Africa.
Turkey of course is anxious to throw the chief blame for
her misfortunes upon Germany, but she cannot escape the
PENALTY for her acquiescence in the nefarious program OF the
greater country. She is now al the bar of justice. Her hour
has come and her sentence is about to be pronounced. Her
guilt extends far back in the centuries. She has polluted from
lime out of mind whatever she has touched, and the more
rigorous the terms of her punishment are made, the better it
will he for the future of civilized mankind.

THE CAPE COD CANAL

Purchase of the Cape Cod canal by the government has
been postponed by the elimination of an amendment to the
sundry civil bill on a point of order raised by a senator from
Utah. This blocks, for the present, an appropriation OF ten
million dollars, but of course it does not prevent the intro
duction of a separate bill after the recess of congress. The
improvement proposed has such merit that it ought to be
endorsed by an overwhelming majority in the senate and
house.
The government has had control of the Cape Cod canal
long enough to demonstrate the value of the waterway In
lines of peace and war to cOastwise traffic and to the navy.
The builders of the ditch through the sand OF the Cape have
improved it to the extent of their resources and it remains
for the government to complete their work on a larger scale.
This canal ought to be the property of the nation, for 1T is es-
sential to the development of the coastwise traffic of the
North Atlantic.

WHAT WILL WE READ AFTER WHILE?

We continue to speak of Homer as a great poet and of
Virgil and Dante and Milton, but how many persons can say
that they have read the Odyssey and Had, the Aenid, the
Divine Comedy. OF the Paradise Lost? How many can qualify
if the test is that they have read one of those poems? We
are afraid that there'are not many and the numbers OF readers
of such poems are decreasing, not increasing. Many of us
talk about such things without taking the time to read and we
shall continue to repeat the language of the critics of literature
that those works are the masterpieces of the literatures of the
world
One wonders how many of the great workers of literature
of the past the world is going to read i'll the future. How
many will read the Pilgrims Progress in the years to come,
and how many will read shakespeare or even Dickens or
George Eliot? We fear the numbers of such readers will not
be many. What Interested the human mind fifty years ago
has ceased to interest it now. What was written III America
before the great war may have only a remote interest. The
New England poets may serve to gather dust on the shelves
Of Libraries. The masterpieces" will become the pieces OF
the past. And what will we read in lieu of them? News
papers, with all their news and gossip and i'll -digested opin-
ions-or we may not read at all, but spend an hour or two a
week looking at literature in the form of moving pictures.

When the government began to talk in billions as baga-
telles others began to talk OF millions as contempuple sums
and a hundred dollars a month began to look small to the
clerk and one hundred and fifty to the private secretary. II
is the money madness of the times that has upset SO many
minds and so many morals. The war instead OF curing us OF
the almighty dollar supremacy has increased the disease
among us. Instead of having learned to live for service, as
we boosted at one time we would do after the war, we are
living faster than ever for the dollars. That is one OF the
evils to be cured.

WHAT Is A LEGISLATURE?

An Ohio court, ruling that the voters have the right to a
referendum on the question of that states ratification o. the
eighteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, definitely
asserts what has been i'm the minds of many persons whose
attention has been drawn to the interesting issue-that the
term Legislature is to be construed as meaning "that body
or bodies i'm which lie the full and final expression of the will
OF the people"

OBSOLETE

Readers of the advertising pages of magazines are ia
miliar with the typical publicity display Of the correspondence
school. 1t generally contains illustration and text and the
latter is often embellshed with notices and catchwords.
Get out of the Dinner Pail Glass" is one of them. Another
is "You can make more money with your collar on"
The picture often shows a rejoicing mechanic being greeted
by his wife on his return from work, after being appointed
superintendent. Or a cordial employer shakes hands with an
overaled mechanic toiler and tells him that he has been made
an executive as a result of taking a technical correspondence
course.
But the argument begins to lose force. There are sign
painters helpers drawing So a day (scalel. and craftsmen
getting $lS a week. There are executives at S25 q week and
milk wagon drivers at $S5.
1t begins to look as though a man is penalized for edu-
eating himself.

P. N. c. FOOTBALL
OUTLOOK IS GOOD
ST Pauxtis Has Number of New
Students That Give Prom
se Of Being Stars
PLAY PENN IN THREE WEEKS

Now students at the Pennsylvania
Military College are being scanned
closely for football material by 81
Pauxtis, athletic director.
Pauxtis SAYS the outlook is encour-
aging and that he hopes to be able to
whip a second team into shape in short
order. Two new men who are showing
promise are Switzer and Lloyd. Swift
zcr is a husky from Illinois where he
played on a high school team. He saw
service in the war. He tips the scales
at 155.
Before coming to the college Lloyd
played fullback at Chestnut Hill.
LLOYD tips the scales at 100 pounds.
Right now there is every indication
he will win a position in the backfeld
line,
Mcguire Also Promising
Another man OF much promise is
Mcguire, who was substitute last
year. He has rolled up a lot of
weight and is making Snappy fight
for a line position. Mueller, another
| substitute, now is trying for guard.
He is showing up we'll in the prelimi-
nary practice. Considerable is eX-
pected of Bryant, a new man who
entered college last Christmas.
The football squad got down to busi =
ness yesterday in the practice on the
campus. The game with Pennsylvania
on Franklin Field is only three weeks
away, and the squad realizes that every
/ minute is valuable. The team is ten
tatively lining up with Campuzano,

Fried Captain Last Year
Fried was last -ear captain. Schill

having a lively scrap for the quarter
back position. Rumberger was sub
stitute last year. He has been show
ing up we'll.
Campuzano played fullback two year
ago. lie spent year in France fight
ing. He was gassed, but is none th
worse for his experience. He spent tt
summer as a life guard. Poole was
running mate of Campuzano two veal
