Heat Houses With StrdD
.(From the Los Angeles Times.)

.(From the Los Angeles Times.)
Our fuel resources are still so am
pie, despite these times, that we find
it hard to conceive of a country
so poorly supplied with fuel as
Korea.
The land bears very little timber,
and although good deposits of btu
minous and anthracite coal have
been found, the government before
the Japanese occupation at least,
would give no concessions for min
ing. The natives dig out the sur
face coal in crude way, and let
the debris and rain water fill up the
shafts. Accordingly, the coal, when
they finally get it, is usually well
rotted from dampness. This poor
stuff is sold for as much as So a
ton, q price that makes it inacces-
sible for the majority of the natives.
Korean ingenuity, however, has
fopnd means of combating these
unfaVorable conditions. When a
Korean starts to build his house
he first lays down a system of fiueS
where the floor is to be. These flues
begin at a fireplace, usually built in
an outer shed or in a closed alley
way connected with the house. From
the fireplace, the fiueS branch out
like the ribs of fan, and end in
trench at the back of the floor
space. This trench, in turn. opens
into a chimney, usually built at some
distance from the house. When the
flues are completed the builder care
fully covers them over with flag
stones; he then cements the whole
floor, and covers it with q sort of
thick oiled paper for which Korea
is famous. The rest of the house
is then built around the completed
floor.
The heating system works in this
way. when it is time to cook the
rice for the morning meal, the
housewife lights a little straw or
brushwood in the fireplace in the
outer shed. While the rice is cook
ing, the heat from the fireplace
passes through the f1ues. heating the
stone flags of the floor and diffus-
ing a pleasant warmth that lasts
until it is time to prepare the next
meal. Two heatings a day generally
suffices to keep the floor warm. On
the floor the people sit by day and
sleep by night The heavy oiled
paper that covers the floor prevents
any smoke entering the room. Since
the occupants always leave their
shoes at the door, the paper wears
long time and gradually takes on
rich brown color. So the Koreans
sit through the severe winter in their
snug little houses, no smoke to both
err them and no ashes to litter up
the house: and all this comfort is
brought about by few handfuls
of straw or brushwood.

management of it; the orders for
it; the cause of it.
Here, is an example: The order
was issued to cease firing at IL
o'clock on November IL. All Off
GERS in command were so informed
hours before. Both the British and
the French stopped fighting immed-
lately. The Americans continued
and necessarily the enemy opposed
to them did likewise to the last min
ute. Not only was our artillery
kept in action, but our infantry was
sent over the top into a hell of
machine-gun fire all that forenoon.
Hundreds of lives were wantonly
sacrificed to no military purpose
whatever.
This is one of the stories we hear
and we believe it to be true. The
Associated Press reported the Amer
lean action at the time, but the in
formation attracted no attention be-
cause it was taken for granted that
the British and the French were also
engaged. 1t seems that they were
not.
Why the Americans alone? For
what reason? BY whose orders? For
whose benefit?
Replying to a charge to this ef-
feet from Governor Allen of Kansas,
the secretary of war produced fig
ures showing that the percentage
of losses from the time of landing
in France till November Z" was not
excessive. That was like him.
What about after November Z?
What about November II? Why
should a single life have been sac
rificed. a single shot fired, on thai
last morning? ~
The country sir, must know;
the fathers and mothers of those
brave lads who went to certain
death must know; you alone have
the authority and the courage to
get and to give the fncts.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Want Surface Returned
ByB BRIGGS
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Under the above heading, Surface
should be returned to old position,
the New Wilmington Globe very
properly and truly published the fol-
lowing article:
THE return of DR.. II. A. Surface
to the Department of Agriculture as
Economic Zoologist, would be well
come news to the farmers and fruit
growers of the state. In fact, ever
since his retirement by the Brum-
baugh administration this import
ant department has become a nom
entity. DIR. Surface not only knew
his work and took pride in it, but
the state orchard agents were work
ing under him with a zeal that is
uncommon under political appoint
ments. 1t is unfortunate that poll
tics are permitted to dominate the
business affairs of either nation,
state or county government, as the
efficient man is now considered be-
yond the limits, of his party faction.
THE farmers and fruit growers
of the state should do some mission
ary work in behalf of DIR. Surface at
once in order that the benefit of his
knowledge and experience may be
gained and saved for themselves"
The missionary work" should
take the form of letter, resolutions
and petitions sent at once. to Prof.
Frederick Rasmussen, secretary of
Agriculture, Harrisburg, requesting
the early return of Prof. II. A. Sur
face, the farmers best friend" to
the position of State ,Zoologist. from
which he was dropped by the Brum-
baugh commission for the one and
only reason that he, was a constant
friend of. Senator Sproul. Will you
publish this please?.

1t is freely admitted that an Amer

MAKING AMERICANS
TToRNEY GENERAL sCHA

A TTORNEY GENERAL SCHAF-
- ~ FER has put into concrete form
legislation which will provide
e0r real Americanization work in
pennsylvania. Governor Sproul is
known to be greatly interested in this
ure which has been prepared will
make educational work among the
alien citizens of the State progress
sive in its character and substantial
in its results.
There is no work in which the
Commonwealth can engage that will
mean more for the welfare of thous-
ands of its people. Too long we
have neglected the decent alien who
has come to US with a desire to be-
come real American citizen, but
who has been ignored so long that
he has been forced to conclude that
he is not wanted in the American
family. Under the direction of a
movement that is now taking form it
will be possible to reach these peo-
pie and direct them into proper
channels that they may become USE
full American citizens.
Governor Sproul has been pledged
to many good things, but we doubt
whether anything he has undertaken
at the outset of his administration
Will be more fruitful or important
in its results than this plan of Amer
icanizing thousands of the industrial
population of the State. This news
paper has knowledge of men of for
eign birth who have lived here for
almost q generation, but who feel
that the attitude of the native Amer
lean is unfriendly, because the i'm
migrant has been forced into COM
munities where racial customs have
been perpetuated, instead of being
encouraged to adopt Am erican ways
of living and American thought re-
garding our government and the
freedom of the individual citizen.
Principals of our local schools
are authority for the statement that
many children of alien parents are
among their brightest students and
that they are patriotic to the last
degree. Under the circumstan noes
the plan to interest the State in wide
Americanization effort is one that
must appeal to every intelligent per-
son.

A FLOWER FROM SHERLEY

CWAGER Sherley, chairman of the
~ House Committee on Appropria-
tions. handed a flower over the
party wall recently in discussing the
budget system. Said he:
we ought to undertake to do
Tor the government in connection
with the estimates of appropria-
tions exactly what we undertook
TO do in connection with the fnan-
ciat system of the government.
Men may differ one way or an
other with the recommendations
that were made by the Commits
sion on Monetary Reform, but no
man who wants to be frank and
candid but what knows that the
work that that commission ala
laid the groundwork that made
possible the present banking and
currency system.
And the chairman of that commits
sion was statesman who for years
was subjected to the calumnies and
abuse of the Democratic press and
party; who for years has been de-
MED by them even a posthumous
fame; but whose work blazed a
straight path through the woods of
follow-Senator Nelson w. Aldrich.
of Rhode Island. who died in 1915.
Sherley's encomium on Republi-
can achievement in reforming our
financial system is pleasing to read
and appropriately comes from one
of the ablest and squarest Democrats
who has sat in the House of Repre-
sentatives since Frederick A. Muh-
lenberg called that body to order
April /. 1888. Sherley was defeated
for Congress in the last election. 1t
is too bad it was not some light
weight rubber-stamp instead OF
Sherley who was thrown overheard,

man and an<opponent with whom all

J0ffre'S BreDity
(From Answers. London.)

Frenchmen, as q rule. are loqua-
cious and unrestrained, but Marshal
Joffre is neither. Brevity and COM
posure are among his most marked
characteristics, and shortly after
his victory on the Marine. he gave
an example of both qualities to a
party of war correspondents whom
he had agreed to receive at his head
quarters. They eagerly anticipated
his speech. 1t contained siXty-five
words. That was the example of
brevity. and the example of compos-
ure occurred when he did more
than fix disappearing eye upon
one of the disappointed journalists
who murmured audibly, And that's
that!"
