WarPrisioners in Italy Write Here Austro-Hungarians Are Well Cared for in the Italian Camp, Say Letters. Johnstown relatives of Aus trian soldiers have heard from several subjects of Kaiser Fran? Josef who have been taken prisoner by the Italians in the Alpine and Isonzo campaigns. These men have been interned in the Italian prison camps and are being well cared for. They are even allowed to communicate with their relatives in this country, and it is in this way that news was received from them. Michas Diensurko and Andrew Olcksmik are confined in the prison camp at Asmara, Italy, and have relatives at 149 Third street Conemaugh. Lazar Ziv kovic, an Austrian prisoner now confined at Genoa, Italy, also has relatives in Conemaugh. Anto nio Benvin, a prisoner at Saler no, Italy has relativevs at the Union fc Hotel, this city. Koziory uski Michat, in the war prison camp at Genoa, has notified re latives on Sixth street, Wood vale. It is stated that the Italian military authorities are doing all in their power to make their prisoners comfortable, and as a general rule about the only com plaint made by the men is the lack of freedom and a desire to go home.—Johnstown Leader.

Carney, White building, In diana, Pa. - • I 'Father of the Fourth' [Continued from page 1] himself among" ttiose patriotsrmariy of them intellectual giants, who made up the Continental congress that his real powers showed themselves. He could speak, though his voice became husky if he attempted much forensic discus sion, but his pen was by all oddp mightier than his tongue. Jefferson's readiness in composition, his knowledge of British law and his love of freedom gave him solid stand ing in congress. Events were moving rapidly. The time had gone past for compromise. In May, 1776, the news reached congress that the Virginia con vention was unanimous for independ ence, and on June 7 Richard Henry Lee, obeying the instructions of the Virginia legislature, moved that inde pendence be declared. On June 10 a committee was appoint ed to prepare a draft of a Declaration. The members of this committee were Jefferson, Franklin, John Adams, Rog er Sherman and Robert R. Livingston. Jefferson, having been elected chair man by reason of having received the greatest number of votes in the con gress, was naturally asked to write the document It was not difficult to guess what kind of a document would come from Jefferson's pen. Doubtless it might have been differ ent in form, but it could hardly have been different in sentiment if it had been written by any other member of the committee. There was a spirit in the air. It was the spirit of liberty. It filled every nian's soul. It had already found its expressions in the writings of the French agitators and in the writ ings of Thomas Paine. Jefferson did not need tcr create the Declaration. He had but to express the sentiments which were common to the mass of freedom loving men. In after years, when enemies declared that the authorship of the Declaration of Inde pendence displayed a lack of originali ty and that every idea in it was "hack neyed'* and was to be found In half a dozen earlier publications, Jefferson replied with perfect wisdom and fair ness, M I did not consider it as any part of my charge to invent new ideas alto gether and to offer no sentiment which had been expressed before." It is this fact that has led some his torians to allege that Thomas Paine may hare had a hand in the writing of the Declaration of Independence, for without doubt there were expressed In some of his previous writings ideas of liberty and Justice that of necessity animated many of the sentiments em- 1 bodied in the document as written by Jefferson. But there seems to be no adequate foundation forthe truth of the statement that Paine had any di rect hand In Its framing. The original draft in Jefferson's hand writing is now in the state depart ment at Washington. It shows altera tions interlined in the #f Franklin an<l Adams.
