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.

When the people of the rest of Eu

the Spanish Moors were In the midst
of a splendid culture. As early as the
tenth century this country was the
source of learning for all Europe.
Their libraries, schools, arts, sciences,
luxurious refinements and all round
material and Intellectual advancement
differentiated them from the rest of
Europe as clearly as ancient Greece

Was our Declaration of In-
dependence such a wonderful
event? Was our war for in
dependence from England nec
essary? Did our forefathers *
* of 1776 accomplish anything *
™ for the good of mankind? We
look about us and see col- to
to onies of foreign nations, ow- to
to ing and paying allegiance to to
to European powers, flying the
flags of such powers, yet vir-
tually Independent and self
governing. Each of these _
countries is admirable for Its
wealth, its freedom, its liappi- *
* n«ss—for the contented state
of its citizens. Yet none of
them fought revolutions. Had
to -we endured the tyrannies to
to which brought on ow war and to
to clung to England would not
our condition be as desirable
as theirs? * * * No. Our rev-
olutlon was not useless; our _
ancestors did not suffer and ™
™ die for nothing, because with
* out the freedom they gained *
* for us there wouid have been
to no freedom elsewhere without to
to bitter warfare. We suffered
not alone for ourselves, but
for all the world. Political
freedom is almost universal
today because the thirteen *
colonies showed the way, and ™
once the way was plain the **
world was forced to follow. Hi
to We think of our war for inde- to
to pendence ■simply as a national to
to affair. It was greater, more
leg sublime than that, more far-
m reaching. The Fourth of July
might well be celebrated In _

'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.
