Columbus, o., Jan. 13.--The de-

court in the case brought by Abraham
f. Smith against the city of Toledo
for injuries sustained by fall caused
by a defective sidewalk was reversed
and the action remanded to the com
mon pleas court. Smith admitted that
he knew Of the defective condition
and for that reason the common pleas
court ordered the case thrown out,
this judgment being affirmed by the
circuit court. The holding of the su.
preme court seems to indicate that
knowledge Of any condition from
which an accident might result is no
bar to the right to institute suit for

The spike elk was much harder to kill, or our

Must Learn Foreign Languages.


In almost every European country
army officers are now required to
know other languages besides their
own, and in every case the same in
stitution, originally American, the
Berlitz School of Languages, has been
selected for this purpose by the vari-
Gus governments. In England, Brig.
Gen. w. r. Robinson of the Aldershot
command, through army orders Of this
year, ordered the lessons to be given
by the Berlitz school at the Salaman-
ca barracks, Wellington Lines.
In Germany, by order of the kaiser,
lessons in languages are given by the
Berlitz school at the Kriegschule in
Potsdam. In Russia the lessons are
given by the st. Petersburg school,
and judging by the fact that several
Japanese teachers of the New York
Berlftz school were transferred to st.
Petersburg for that purpose, the Jap
anese language will be one of the
most important. In Spain the Berlitz
school in Madrid has charge of the
courses of the officers, and the king
himself is one of the most interested
pupils of that school. France, Aus.
tria, Italy, Turkey and others have in
trusted the task also to this school,
which teaches languages only and in a
most practical way.

post as Charles r. Cranes successor.
The state department recognizes that Mr..
Fletcher has shown good judgment and discre-

of the legation American diplomacy in China has
been entirely independent of the powerful Japan
csc and British influences at Pekin.
Mr. Fletcher appointed to the post of sec.
rotary of the legation under Mr.. w. w. RockhiIl
then minister, on April 26, 1907. at a salary of
$a625. When it was decided to promote Mr.

Fletcher made charge d'affaires and since
then has been on duty day and night in Pekin.
