AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE

AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE,
The movement for q universal lam
guage does not aim to drive out the
natural languages but merely to in
troduce an auxiliary idiom that may
bring about an easier understanding
between all nations and at the same
time have the advantage Of express
ing conceptions in a manner less am
biguous and more generally intelligi-
BILE than is possible in the case OF
words in the natural languages. since
these carry with them many vague
connotations. There exist at present
several language systems that have
shown that it II possible by means
of an auxiliary language to bring
about oral and written intercourse
between persons of the most widely
differing nationalities of the civilized
world An important question at
present is to solve the struggle grow
ing out of rival systems. and to find
an issue out of the embarrassment
over the choice of the system that
should he, or IL desired to be. univer-
sally adopted. Adherents of the rival
systems believe that this can be done
only by supreme international author
ity. recognised and officially invested
with adequate power. Thus writes
George Heimrod, the United States
consul at Berne, Switzerland. and In
an extended report to the government
he tells about an association that has
been formed to work in this direc-
ton. Excerpts from that report fol-
low:
The Association for the Creation Of
a Universal Language Bureau was
founded at Berne, Switzerland. Feb.
27, 1911. It has for its immediate OBJ
1ect, as stated in its statutes. ITO pre-
pare and promote diplomatic action
with a view to establishing a Univer-
sal Language Union between the vart-
GUS nations and creating a Universal
Language Bureau, whose duty It shall
be, acting for the union. to introduce.
develop and apply an officially recos-
nixed international auxiliary language.
Tho association. as such. maintains
the strictest neutrality in regard to
existing systems Of international aux
iliary language or any that may sub
seauently come into existence. It re-
frains from any propaganda in favor
of individual systAm ms"
The neutrality of the association ID
well shown through the admission OF
adherents Of various international
language systems. AMI at the present
time the following languages are rep
resented: Bolak. Esperanto. Europal.
lido (Reform Esperanto), Latino sine
fiexione, Neutral (Reform Neutral),
Pankel, Perfect, Romanal. Tutonish,
Viva, volapuk.
While the association as such under
no circumstances undertakes the mat
ter Of any propc anda for any partic-
ular system. it declines all response
bility for anything in this respect by
any Of it's individual members, a
every member nat lrally preserves his

Burns VS.. McPhee at the Opera House
Friday Night, Feb. 6.

The average spectator at wrestling
match does not fully appreciate the part
the hands play in the sport. 1t is, how
ever. on these members that the greatest
strain comes and unless the gripping
power is developed to the highest, the
wrestler lacking good hands is doomed
to defeat, other things being equal The
theory is that the strength of chain
is determined by its weakest lint and
men. otherwise capable OF becoming for
midable claimants for the worlds cham
pionship. have been forced out of the
game. or at least back into the ranks
OF the second raters through lack of pow
er to grip.
I'm this respect "Cyclone Burns" the
Boston heavyweight, is remarkable. Al
though possessed of comparatively
slight, wiry frame, the strength of his
hands is such that once he gets grip
of any kind on an opponent it takes
tremendous power to break it. This is
true of any hold that Burns gets, wheth-
er it be the toe hold or any Of the more
common combinations, in which the grip
plays any important part.
Burns, early in his wrestling career.
realized that to be successful he must
have the strongest kind Of a grip, else
he could not use to advantage his full
body strength. He accordingly devised a
system Of training the hands by means
OF two tennis balls and with these sim
Pile tools he developed the muscles OF
his hands to their present high eiiicien-
ey.--Ady.
