ANOTHER HOLLWEGG CHANCELLOR MICHAELIS is a second Hollweg, only weaker. That much Is evident from the re ports of his first address to the Reichstag which came ' seeping through Copenhagen to-day. Mich aelis Is another "me-too" for the Kaiser. His address, from which many expected much that might lead to a more liberal government In Germany, is Just what those more familiar with the German situation , expected. He merely mouths the cheap utterances of von Tirpltz, Hlndenburg, Hollweg and others of] their Ilk. The people of Germany | have nothing to hope from him. True, he stands for peace, but It! must be a German peace, won by the sword—or rather, by the submarine, for the new chancellor pins his hope to the success of the U-boats in starving England. There Is .not a new thought In the whole speech. It might have been made up of para graphs clipped from one of Holl weg's addresses Just previous to the Inauguration of the submarine cam paign last February. He holds out to the people the old vague promises of victory, with less than ever to suport them. Ameri ca's part in the war he counts of no importance. The offensive of the al lies on the west front has been "shattered," despite daily galr.s of British and French and the smash ing of the Hlndenburg line. • The Russian front Is "comparatively quiet," despite the fact that Brussil ott has crushed the Teuton lines for miles. All Is well with Germany's allies, which are "presenting an un broken front," although Austria is known to be almost ready to break away and the Balkan situation nqne too good from the German view point. And last, but far from least, the U-boat campaign Is doing all that was expected and England and France are to be starved, despite the fact that they have food on hand now enough to last until next har vest and after that until the spring of 1918, at least. One wonders what kind of cred ulity the German people possess if they can be brought to believe all this tommy-rot. The truth is, and none knows It better than Michaelis, that Ger many's plight is now desperate, and growing more so dally. As a writer in the New York Post points out, the submarine campaign, America, Russia—on all three counts the German government stands convict ed of criminal lack of foresight and ghastly failure. It is now five months since the Kaiser challenged Amerl- 1 ca by letting loose the U-boats for the speedy starvation of England, a task that was to be measured in weeks. To-day the U-boats are weak er than they were last winter, and the entente nations are on the eve of the harvest, secure In their food until the spring of 1918. If Beth i ; jaxanfi-Hallweg .meant what he said. FRIDAY EVENING, when he declared that Germany was staking her all on the submarine, and the challenge to America, then Germany is lost. If he did not mean what he said, then the German peo ple find Itself to-day the victim of a policy of frivolous deception. German miscalculation concern ing the military results of the sub marine war and the speed of Amerl-. can mobilization was matched by a pitiful misunderstanding of Russian conditions. Hollweg must have fore seen the revolution in Russia when he flung his challenge to America last February; that did not call for extraordinary gifts of prophecy. He foresaw the confusion which fol lowed at Petrograd and the tem porary slackening of Russia's mili tary energies. These things were in evitable. But beyond such super ficial anticipations his view did not go. I-Ie did not understand the Rus sian people, he did not understand the essential spirit of the revolution, he did not understand, or else refus ed to understand, the world-complex which made the cause of Russian freedom and the cause of the Allies one and Indissoluble. It may yet turn out that the revolution was a gain for Russian military strategy. It enabled Brussiloff to outguess Hln denburg. While the latter was pre sumably waiting for the automatic demoralization of the Russian army, Brussiloff was utilizing the respite to prepare the materials of his new offensive. The five months since February 1 have been for the Ger man government a tragedy of er rors. But Instead of attempting to make atonement to a more or less dis illusioned German people, the gov ernment togs out Michaelis In the uniform of Holwegg, puts the old Holwegg promises into his mouth and tries to fool the German people as it has done from the very out start of the war. Discouraging al though this may be to those who dreamed of a German revolution, or at least of a liberalization of the government which would be a step toward a peace acceptable to the al lies, In the end It may be for the best The longer the military powers of Germany continue to press their views upon the German people in the face of certain defeat, the more thorough will be the governmental house-cleaning when it comes. The higher it will swing on the side of the masses when the change of di rection finally comes. The Kaiser and those with him have determined to play their des perate game to the last card. When they quit It will be as broken gam blers, penniless, friendless and des pised even by their former friends. • THE BOY SCOUTS IF you doubt the utility or pa triotism of the Boy Scouts, read this report on what they did during the recent Liberty Loan bond sale, from those at the head of the bond campaign: The Boy Scouts of America per formed a notable service to the country in their campaign for the sale of Liberty Ix>an Bond*. Through their efforts more thon $25,000,000 of the bonds were sold directly. How many sales were due indirectly to their activity cannot be known. The Boy Scouts worked sys tematically and thoroughly and with an earnestness that was In spiring. They covered fields that could not have been well covered by other agencies and effected sales that would not have been made without their efforts. The Scouts have not only proven their patriotism. They have shown their efficiency and their clvlo value. • Every week the TELEGRAPH publishes a page of pictures and doings of the Scouts in Harrlsburg. It Is good reading for old scouts as" as Boy Scouts. Commenting on the Scouts and their Liberty Loan work, the Boston Traveler says: Another notable service by the Boy Scouts of America. Through their efTorts more than $25,000,- 000 of Liberty Bonds were sold. Every Scout "saved his soldier." and a Uttls more. The organisa tion now registers 251.189 and' is truly national in its scope. Work ing under patriotic impulse, it sub jects its members to whoiesomo discipline that helps to establish the v proper attitude toward State and individual. We count it a great national asset. A PALM REACH GOVERNOR GOVERNOR WILLIAMS, of Ok lahoma, is unquestionably a very fine man and no doubt a great Governor. This Judgment is based on a recent decision of the executive named noted In the Ney York World. - Not long ago the Belgian Mission decided to visit Oklahoma and the committee on arrangements asked Governor Williams to preside at the ! function, at the same time "tipping oft" the executive that "formal dress" would be required. 1 The Governor replied that he'd be very glad to welcome the BelgiarusJ,: but not in a high hat and frock coat with the thermometer performing the usual gymnastics incident upon a mid-July day in the torrid town of Tusla. Not him, no siree, it would be a Palm Beach suit and a straw hat or the Belgians would have to get along with one Governor less. And he stuck to It. Governor Williams Is a man among men. He not only hoots at fashion, but lives up to his hooting, which is not the custom of Penn sylvania men. The ordinary male be ing hereabouts thinks all his women folks are crazy because they tog themselves out In furs in warm weather, but he seldom pauses to think he himself is Just as inconsist ent. Raving at the weather man and twitting his wife on sum mer furs, Mr. Average Man dons his woolen trousers, his high stiff col lar and his heavy coat and vest and toddles off down town telling every body how hot he thinks it is. Only In the past two summers have men begun to break away from the tra dition of the worsteji suit, and then only because of the leadership of such pioneers as Governor Williams, more power to him.

German Spy System We have been Imperiling the lives of our merchant sailor*, as well as the ships which they sail and the cargoes which they are trying to deliver by courteously affording espionage facilities to enemy sub jects here representing the German insurance companies. It was a exhibition of lenity and laxity, now happily abandoned. Yet it is hard to understand why the Administration did not go further and suspend the operation of the German companies so far as con cerns direct insurance or reinsur ance of munitions factories, ship building yards and other plants of a military or seml-mllitary character. In fact, the Government has still a great deal to do before it really abates the German spy peril. The steps so far taken to control the movements of enemy aliens In this city are ludicrously inadequate. Merely putting up signs warning such aliens to keep away from the waterfront and from and other centres of military activity is of no avail. Thousands of enemy subjects here have obtained licenses authorizing them to disregard those signs. Others disregard them with out having licenses. The German spy system Is per vasive and still in good working order. Let us deal with it as if It were a real danger, which It Is, In stead of merely trusting that enemy subjects here will be considerate enough to stop abusing our hos pitality.

Although the initial appropriation by Congress for the es tablishment of the Federal system, which went into operation on July 1, is small, the share allotted to Penn sylvania, will increase under the graduated scale provided by Congress so that by 1925, if not before, it will amount to a half million dollars a year. Discussing the new law the Phila delphia Evening Bulletin says: "Sponsored by the National So ciety for the Promotion of Indus trial Education, the Congressional bill, which is known as the Smith- Hughes "act, was adopted last Feb ruary. Participation in its benefits was made contingent upon each state's willingness to contribute to ward the training and salaries of the vocational teachers. The bill pro vides that the state bear one-half the cost of training teachers for vo cational schools, the nation contrib uting the other half of the cost. The allotment to *hls state will approxi mate $40,000 this year, but, increas ing annually, will be doubled by 1920, and it Is if the state takes up the work actively, that within the next three or four years a number of teachers who have spe cialized in industrial training may be available for the schools that are to be established. "The furnishing and equipping of these schools, as well as their opera tion and maintenance, is left solely to the states or to the school dis tricts accepting the provisions of the act. But with the companion bills for the creation of vocational schools to supplement and co-operate with the agricultural schools which the state already maintains, it will be possible to make something like a fair beginning by the time named for the active beginning of these Federalized state schools. In addition to the liberal aid which the state now receives under the system of agricultural colleges devel oped by the land grant system. In augurated during the Civil War by the passage of the Morrill act, the state is also to receive- a fifty-fifty contribution toward the salaries of the agricultural, trade and Industrial Instructors and the teachers of home economies. In the beginning this allotment will be about SBO,OOO a year, but will Increase rapidly until It passes the half-million dollar mark. "By accepting the provisions of the Smith-Hughes act, Pennsylvania assumes the duty of expending on salaries of these special teachers a CROP PEST LETTER By Prof. J. G. Sanders, State Economic Zoologist BROWN ROT THOUSANDS of bushels of plums start to decay or rot on the tree Just previous to ripening, and ipany growers can not account for this condition. A distinct disease known as "brown rot" is carried over from year to year by the old mummied fruit on the tree or ground. Warm rains develop the spores which infect fruit, particularly in breaks in the skin. Insects can carry the spores when puncturing fruits. Most tree fruits are af fected. Bordeaux mixture, or gelf-boll ed lime-sulphur should be ap plied several times during the growing season, and strong lime sulphur In early spring, when trees are dormant. large sum and the establishment of a broader and more extended system of vocational training, involving a total expenditure of one or two mil lion dollars a year. The principle of the continuation and vocational schools, which Dr. Frazee and his associates In the Board of Education are developing locally, will thus be extended throughout the state. "The primary purpose of these schools, especially those that are to be devoted to industrial training, with the view of making youthful workers better fitted for the special ized industrial processes of modern manufacture, is to take up the train ing of the vast number of youths whose schooling now ends at the sixth or eighth grades. Only about three per cent, of the pupils in the Philadelphia schools, a proportion which about equals the national av erage, attend high school courses, and of the remainder, who enter business and industrial world, I" ut a small percentage attend either even ing schools or the special courses •onducted by private and semlpubllc schools. t "Three tvpes of schools must be established in order to conform fully with the provisions of the Smith- Hughes bill. These comprise all-day schools for pupils over fourteen years of age, in which not less than thirty hours a week throughout nine months of the year is devoted to vo cational training; part-time schools that will provide 144 hours of vo cational training a year to pupils be tween fourteen and eighteen years of age whtf are employed, and even ing schools for the day workers, which are designed to supplement the shop or office training which the pupils receive in the course of their daily employment. "To a large extent Pennsylvania has already entered this field of ed ucation, and the adjustment of the present industrial and agricultural courses of the state to meet the rules and regulations that will be formu lated by the Federal Board of Vo cational Education will be made through the state board of control, which, in the case of Pennsylvania, will be the Department of Educa tion." Fate of the Deposed Czar That tha deposed Czar Ntaholas lias been permitted to subscribe to the Russian Liberty Loan might be taken as an Indication that his for mer subjects are beginning to look upon him with a more lenient eye. In a special cable despatch from Petrograd, printed in the Herald to day, Mr. Herman Bernstein states that, while there are demands that the royal prisoner be tried in public for the crimes pf the aristocracy, It ir. doubtful if a Jury even will have an opportunity to decide his fate. Mr. Bernstein quotes Vladimir Vourtseff, the historian of the revo lution, as demanding such a Jury trial for the last of the Romanoff Em perors, but permitting the prisoner to offer a defense. Even this bitter op ponent of the old regime, however, does not repeat the demand so fre quently made In Russia immediately after the revolution—that the de npsed Czar should be executed. Tho extremest penalty he asks Is that Nickolas be exiled after the war, when he ceases to be a danger to the country. This change In the Russians' feelings toward their for mer ruler, contemporaneous with the onslaught of the new democracy's armies in <3alicia, might indicate that the new Russia has discovered that the weak and vacillating Nicholas was less to blame for their country's troubles since the war began than the Teutons across the border who capitalized his weaknesses for tholr own benefit. The one great fact, and one thnt nugurn well for all the Allies, is that the Russian people are devoting all their time not to fighting over the fate of a Nicholas who is safe ho capttvlty but to ~ smashing Kalserism. —New York 'J^Herald, JULY 20, 1917.
