The American Language.
Iron IN. ST. Louis Globe Democra,

IRON me 81. LOWS btoDr- DsmoCrdft
The American language has arrived at
last, officially There has been no act Of
Congress establishing it, fact that reflects
on the enterprise OF politicians forever seek
ing new issues. We owe our distinction to
a Turkish frman, promulgated after Turkey
became involved in the great war. rr Nc
Naughton. a veteran Canadian missionary
and teacher in Turkey, has explained the cir
cumstsnces. A ban was placed on the Ian
guages Of all belligerents. This included
French. Russian, Japanese and English
Our Ambassador TO Turkey, Henry Nor
genthau. protested vigorously. on the ground
that the United States was not at war with
Turkey and that the order was annoying to
such nationals az spoke only English But
q Turkish frmnn is like unto the laws Of the
Medes and Persisns, which could not be re-
pealed. The best Turkey could do was to
issue supplementary frman. giving full
permission for the speaking and writing Of
the American language" Or. McNsughton
swallowed his prejudices and began to ac-
quire the American language, which he now
speaks With admirable proficiency

wFor a Hurried Peace"

Of all the wild guesses that have been
hazarded by observers Of current affairs
in Britain the most surprising by far
comes from Berlin. The "Zeitung am
Mittag," of that city, has learned that
there is no truth at all in the rumor that
Mr.. Lloyd George is about to take Mr..
Asquith's place. Equally false is the re-
port that Sir Edward Carson is to be the
next Prime Minister. The fact is that "the
rev head of the government will be Lord
Haldane. and Lord Fisher will become
First Lord Of the Admiralty"
The source of this remarkable discovery
IS not revealed, but the editor is assured
that the task of the new Cabinet will be
"to bring about a hurried peace There
is something fascinating IN the combina-
ton OF Haldane and Fisher. The pres
once of the former is understandable in a
Cabinet made in Germany, for. many good
people in England still believe he is
a sort of secret agent Of the kaiser's.
Only the other day one Of the leading jour
nails Of the opposite party gave great prom
inence TO a letter from one who boasted of
many friends among the higher officers OF
the German army" and who had been told
bv German general that Lord Haldane
rad promised the Emperor that England
would never adopt national service"
1t is easy, then, TO account for Lord
Haldane as Premier in the peace-maGing
Cabinet, but to account for Lord Fisher
~ more difficult. For, supposing he is 70
be thrown in TO blind the public TO the
real purpose Of the new ministry, 1T Is
quite impossible TO understand how he
can be blinded, too.
Lord Haldane is said 20 have told some
Of his German friends that no English
government. whether Liberal or Conserva-
tive, could survive a week il it fathered
such "a principle as national service. Con-
sidcring the present temper Of the public,
however, a government fathered by Lord

Snowstorms and Grip.

Some surprising news concerning the
progress of influenza comes from various
towns in the Middle West. Chicago, St.
Paul and Milwaukee are all congratulate
ing themselves that "the worst is over"
and the reason for their rejoicing, If
sound, is comforting for all of us.
The Chicago dispatches say that "snow
and colder weather brought relief In st.
Paul likewise "the heavy snow settled all
dust and killed the germs carried by It.
The same phenomenon was observed in
Milwaukee, and almost at the same mo-
ment. Let us therefore give thanks for
the snowstorm that swept this city on st.
Stephens Day and for the chilly winds
that followed hard upon it. These may
save us from the bitter experience of less
fortunate communities.
One doubt remains. We arc not told
how the correspondents assured them
selves of the death of the dreaded germs.
They seem to have lost no time, for the
news followed the snowstorm with amaZ-
ing rapidity. But considering the char
acter of this ubiquitous parasite, 1t would
be rash indeed to believe in the utter ami
hilation of a whole army on the word OF
witness who had contented himself with
perfunctory examination of the corpses he
passed on his way to the telegraph Office.
If this years bacillus is not an utterly
degenerate descendant of the kind the
world has hitherto known, it is incredible
that he should succumb so readily to a
mere snowstorm. Siberian winters were
not too hard for his great progenitors, who
we're notorious above most of their kind
for their utter indifference to all kinds Of
weather, as was shown clearly enough in
the great series of pandemic outbreaks
which began a quarter of a century ago.
There is one other circumstance that
should put us on our guard. What as
surance have we that the germs were all
out of doors when the snow came? They
may have a liking for the dust which is
said to have carried them to their ruin,
but if they are Of the old Pfeiffer breed
they would not seek the dust of the roads
by preference. Until these doubtful points
have been cleared up it would be impru-
dent in the last degree to accept the Opt
mistic news from the Middle West.

stimulant TO stalwart Americanlsm. Let
us put ourselves in position to MAINTAIN
it single-handed, if need be. before we
think Of sidetracking it or submerging 1t
in larger doctrine Of Pan-Americanlsm.
Where the power is the responsibility
ought to be. The United States should
remain free to carry out the mission I'M
posed upon it by Adams and Monroe.
For a generation longer, at least, 1t
must rely on its own strength to frus-
trate European partition Of this CONT
nent. And, cost what it may, we must
prepare ourselves for what may be our
greatest task of the near future.

be hoodwinked by foreign diplomats, who
will discard the obsolete trick of ambiguous
phrases and hollow diaectics, and make his
demands known in sincere, unequivocal Ian
guage, man who will demand straightfor-

issues and decline to be shared into endless
discussions and windy conversations.
