SAY ADULT IMMIGRANT
SHOULD, LEARN ENGLISH
n. II. Wheaton Says Schools Are Far
From Adequate in Han
ding Situation.

The necessity of teaching the adult
immigrant how to speak English as
soon as possible after his arrival is
emphasized by H. H. Wheaton of the
United States bureau of education in a
report just made public.
with the adultAmmigrant desire for
instruction and ability to acquire Ian
guage are largely lost" says DR..
Wheaton, yet inability to speak Eng
lish is the most serious barrier to in
tercourse between Americans and for
eigners. Furthermore, employers are
coming to see the necessity of teaching
their foreign-born employees the Eng
lish language and something of the
rules Of safety. Experience shows that
dents are due to the fact that foreign
ers have not understood the orders of
the foremen. A canvass of many en-
ployers of foreign-born workingmen
indicates that knowledge of English
Is urgently needed. >This is particu-
larly true of railroads, steel plants and
foundries."
In eight of the principal cities of the
United States. according to DR.. Whea-
ton, the number of foreign-b born adults
100000. New York alone has 100000.
The types Of schools adapted to the
education of the immigrant are even

lis far from adequate" Appropriations
are insufficient to provide the requisite
teaching. Failure to appreciate the
need OF increase In accommodations Is
shown by the fact that nineteen cities
in the state of New York. with a popu-
lation of 10000 to 10000, and with the
foreign-born population varying from
1000 to 1000, have no public night
classes where immigrants can learn
the English language.

seen it, monsieur. Clear out to the
horizon on three sides of US one night
were nothing but gigantic fires. Those
Boches are devils. Some of the fires
they set by hand and others with in
cendiary shells. One could see them
long trail of sparks. which would
suddenly burst into shooting flames ana
drop on the roofs of our innocent
French peasants. There was wind that
night. and every house that caught hre
set the torch to a whole village.
But YOUR thirty-flve Germans-did

Both. But mostly with the bayonet
1t was all hand-to-hand fighting 1or a
while. under cover of the artillery.
That was after our artillery began to
arrive: at the beginning we didn't have
much. But the bayonet fighting is hor,
rihle. one never knows which man will
get his thrust in first. There Is only
one thing more terrible than bayonet
iinee at YOUR throat, and that is a ma

Our battalion was advancing before

something of his experiences in the older

his experiences:

The aviator, soaring through tho
air at tremendous speed, has not the
leisure to make the observations pos

balloon is stationary. 1t remains OH
the spot for hours. and even for days.
Even il the observer suffers from the
equivalent of seasickness he remains
aloft. He is the eye of the artillery.
He watches every move of the oppo-
nent, the flashes of his guns, and con-
trolls the fire of his own. But his

range and elevation, which have to be
altered at frequent intervals. They
rarely find their mark, but the balloon
sometimes has to be removed to a dis

Trenches Like Gaping Wounds.
'In the middle of the picture lies the
wide slope of the Lorette hill. the ac-

vigny. From the edge of the forest q
broad, clayey scar stretches right
across the height, like a gaping
wound 1t is made by trenches which
the French shot to pieces in May.
Farther down the valley a narrower.
newer seam is visible-our trenches

of the Lorette a white mansion stood
out clearly. 1t was the famous Castle
of Noulette, also in the hands of the
French. The hill merges into the plain
and SoucheZ comes into sight, OBJ
secured by a dense cloud of smoke and
vapor, where our men fought like gray
devils. Below us stabs of light catch
the eye. They are the flames from our
guns The vapors from the bursting
shells on either side blot the scenery.

balloon was pulled down to permit the
correspondent to alight, and few
minutes later it was taking it's cease
