ANOTHER TRIUMPH"
Why Emperor William Orders English to Be
 Taught in German High Schools.


 Whatever else may be said of Kaiser William, he has certainly struck the right chord in decreeing that here after English shall be taught in the high schools of Germany instead of French, which is relegated to the rear as an optional study.
 Kaiser William has never been &C., chsed of being back number in edu- cational matters. However antiquated may be his high-flown notions about the royal prerogative, in his insistence that the schools of the empire shall be thoroughly abreast of the times he has gained the commendation ofeducators.
 Many things have combined to bring the Kaiser to the conclusion that the language of the Anglo-Saxon deserves a place alongside that of the Teuton. German commerce has been met at every turn by American and British competition. The reflex influence of Germans wEo have emigrated to this country has made sentiment of ex- treme friendiness towards things English throughout the Fatherland. The close relationship of the Kaiser to Edward VII is also significant. On the other hand, the innate indifference of the German government to French pretentions has probably had no small influence in the matter.
 Above ali these considerations the realization that the English language is the worlds language would bring the Kaiser to a proper respect for the tongue. In these later days no nation can be considered great unless proper heed is paid to the overwhelming su. periority of the English language as well as to the methods of the people who speak the language. It bas come to the point where to acknowledge ig- norance of the tongue is to confess an inexcusable handicap.
 No longer is French the language universal. English is the worlds medium of communication. In mak- ing such full confession of this fact the Kaiser has laid cornerstone for future progress by his subjects. St. Louis Republic.

AMERICAN AB0RlGINES.
This Continent Was Inhabited Sixty Thousand
 Years Ago.

At recent meeting in this city the American Philosophical Society de- voted a few hours to consideration of the life of the American Indian, and listened to addresses by Mrs. Zelia Nuttall and Curator Stewart Culin of the University Museums on the man. ners and customs of the Indians and of the necessity of further research to prevent vast stores of information from being lost to science. A repre- sentative collection of relics and ob- jects of interest connected with the study was exhibited.
 Curator Cuin described briefly some results of his summer trip among American Indian tribes, stating that of the $50, 900 Indians north of Mexico, and including the Esquimaux, there are fifty seven linguistic stocks, though three-fourths of the Indians are in eight stocks, the others being prac- tically extinct. We have no eyi. dence," he continued, ito connect he Indian with past geologic ages, such as we have discovered in the old world. The authropologists place the age of man in America as be- ginning at the end of the tertiary age, which geologists fix as 6O,O0O years ago. There is some question as to the value of studying the man physically by somatology, and the archaeological work can w.lt. We have insufficient Knowledge now to observe what ou ght Jo be observed. But the man himself. who, after all, we are most interested in, will not last more than few years for scientific purposes. In twenty years the Indian as We find him today will be extinct. In even ten years it will be very difficult to make the col lections that we can make today Philadelphia Ledger

Read It in His Newspaper.

George Schaub, a well known citi-
zen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a con-
stant reader of the Dayton Volkszei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
to advertise only the best in its col
umns, and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back he did not hesitate in
buying bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered the most
terrible pains in her back and could
get no relief. He says: After using
the Pain Balm for a few days my wife
said TO me, Il feel as though born
anew and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful, and
hopes that all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful recovery. This
valuable liniment is for sale by all
druggists.

when a body commences to amend an
amendment there is no telling what
confusion may result. Look AT the
vexatious positions these fellows have
got the administration in. What can
be done in the matter? According to
a cabinet officer, nothing until the
Cubans again act on the Platt amend
ment.
Suppose they go home to till their
fields placidly waving their hands in
token that tLey wash them of the
whole affair. What can the admins
tration resort to that it may save it
self from a ridiculous situation? The
Cubans have demonstrated that they
were sincere in their announced pur-
pose to reject the Platt amendment as
originally adopted.
Ii there is any sincerity about Mr..
McKinley's attitude toward them it
has yet to make its appearance.

.FLAG DAY" AND THE FLAG.

Next Friday will be Flag Day"
In 1777 congress declared the stars
and stripes as the emblem of the
United States, and it is in commemo-
ration OF this day that Flag Day"
has been set aside for appropriate OBJ
servance. When congress took this
step it was specified that the flag
should bear IS stripes, being alter
nate stripes OF white and red, with
the Is stars on a blue background,
there being then the original Is colo
MES or states comprising the nucleus
OF the great union which now exists.
As the years passed and new states
were admitted TO the union a new
stripe and new star was added to
the flag with each one until 1918,
when it began to be seen that new
stripes would soon increase the flag
to undue proportions. Just before
Illinois was admitted. congress passed
another law "that from and after the
fourth of July next, the flag of the
United States shall be IS horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the union be 20 stars, white on blue
field, and that on the admission of q
state into the union one star be added
to the union of the flag. and that such
addition take effect on the fourth of
July next succeeding such'admission- ="
Illinois was the next star to be
added. July 4, 1919, and since that
time "a more have followed.
The American Flag association
urges that some commemoration be
made of the day, and that the Aag
be given to the breeze from every
church edifice, school aud public
building, and from every private
dwelling through the land.
This would indeed be fitting mode
to usher in the first flag day of the
twentieth century.
Gov. Yates has issued proclama-
ton calling for general observance of
flag day. The proclamation is as
follows:
lin conformity with a praiseworthy
custom which has grown up among
the states OF the Union of setting u
certain day in each year to fly the
stars and stripes, and pay tribute to
the emblem of liberty, l, Richard
Yates, governor of Illinois, do hereby
proclaim Friday, June II. as fiag day.
That the day may be made more
impressive, suggest that all citizens
decorate their houses, that all bus
mess houses and public buildings dis
play the colors, and that the day be
observed generally in manner and
spirit appropriate to the occasion"

IRRITATING CuBANs.

Those irritating and unreasonable
Cubans persist in this strange belief
that they know better what they want
than does the Mckinley administra-
tion. This will never do. If we
are compelled to remain in the
island for 20 years we must show
these uncouth gentlemen that the
United States cannot be trified with.
To be sure, Mr.. Mckinley once prom
ised the islanders their freedom and
home rule in the plaiDest sort of Ian
guage, but Mr.. Mckinley was thinking
of something else probably at the mo-
ment and made the promise thought
lessly. He meant TO add a clause to
the effect that they should be left
in undisputed control OF the island
after we removed our troops. The

ity to make alterations and amend
ments to the Platt amendment, and
