proximately 200 political prisoners,
the majority of whom are Spanish

the French Committee of National
Liberation, but is expected soon"
The former internees, the men,
bers of work companies and persons
in forced residence all have been
provided with useful occupations of
their own choice the report said.
The continued confinement of
these large numbers of refugees and
others after the Allied landing had
brought a storm of criticism against
the late Admiral Jean Darlan and
more recently against Gen. Henri
Giraud.
Following the criticism. which was
coupled with complaints against the
Algiers regime on the continuing
anti-Semitic. anti-Republican and
anti-De Gauhst policies of Vichy,
the commission was created to in
vestigate all cases and seek the
liberation of all those whose freedom
would not jeopardize military
security.

MARTINSBURG. w. Va. June
23.-Recent studies indicate that the
Grimes Golden, one of America S
famous varieties of apples, was origi-
mated by John Chapman, better
known as Johnny Appleseed. He
planted the seeds from which the
tree came, believes Carroll R. Miller,
secretary of the West Virginia Horti-
cultural Society here.
The Grimes Golden was discovered
near Wellsburg, in West Virginias
Northern Panhandle, about 1905.

months, when in his early 20s, en-
route westward from his Leominster

Nathaniel Chapman. The chronol-

The Grimes Golden, like all basic
varieties of American apples. sprang
from the seed Of apple trees found
on this continent Many of the va
rieties were of no value, but occa-
sionaliy one sprang up, like the
Grimes Golden. and was propagated
through grating and budding.

was born September 26, 1774, accord
ing to Leominster birth records; was
christened John, not Jonathan. as
usually stated. Records show that
his mother died when John was
2 years old; that his father was in
the Revolutionary Army until 1780.
His family chronicle seems lost for
the next II years. but at lS, in 1892,
he and half brother Nathaniel

OF apple seeds from the first known
cider press in that part of Penn

Medsger, and Swedenborg Bible

life. John and Nathaniel filled bags
with the dried apple seeds, loaded
the bags into a canoe and came on
to Wellsburg via the Youghioghenv
and Ohio Rivers.
Chapman reached Wellsburg
about 1876. The seeding tree, which
bore such promising golden fruit.
later famous as Grimes Golden, first
came to public notice about 1906"
That would make the tree 9 wears
old in 1905, Just about right for the
Grimes, which is an early maturing
tree.
Chapman stayed for a short time
at Wellsburg, then crossed the Ohio
and sowed seeds for a little nursery
near Steubenville - at Brilliant.
From there he went on to Washing
ton County, then up the Muskingum
and other streams to the Licking,
where he planted another little
nursery in 1901. Chapman did not

DR NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, president of

college can understand the world he lives in unless he
knows the history of his country and is inspired by
the words and acts of its great men.
To our youth, what the United States stands for
