"St. Gall perches high up on noun
tain shoulder, considerably hack from
the Lake of Constance. 1t grew up
around the mountain cell Of learned
Irish monk, st. Gallen, who, taken sick
here in the seventeenth century while
on a pilgrimage to Rome, built him a
cell 1000 feet up the mountain side,
and, upon his recovery, vowed to de-
vote his life to the conversion of the
mountain tribes. Around his cell there
has grown up a city of more tnan 3o,-
600, which bears his name, and which
is known to the dry-goods buyers of
all countries.
An abbey was built, and its Irish
monks, distinguished throughout Eu-
rope for their devotion to learning,
here made a safe retreat for their stud
les. Centuries before the Renaissance,
the monks of st. Gallen studied both
Greek and Latin, and painstakenly
copied many of the ancient texts. These
manuscripts are still preserved in the
library of st. Gall, and they form n
priceless nucleus of it's collections.
Considerable American capital has
been attracted to this energetic little
manufacturing city. Some of the great
factories, with their scores Of highly
intricate, almost-intelligent machines,
are entirely owned by American manu-
facturers, who regularly visit their
plants, and make preparations for New
York's seasonal supplies. The Ameri-
can consulate at St. Gall is a very busy
officer and it has to do almost solely
with the embroideries and the machine
embroidered laces of st. Gall and of
the surrounding villages for American
consumption"

He declares that, much as patriotic
students may regret it, English will
undoubtedly continue to be the trade
language of the world, and that so far
from ceasing to learn it, Germans
should become proficient in it.
Quite as unreasonable as the propo-
sition it to put the ban on English in
Germany, he says, is the talk in Eng
land to forego German in favor Of
simple, rich and musical" Russian,
Serbian, Flemish or Japanese. The
Germans, he says, might as we'll take
up Turkish.
Even the most brilliant victory over
England" declares Herr Bockelmann,
land it's various dependencies, will not
mean that English as a universal trade
language will be easily displaced. More
than ever will the German youth, 60
ing out into the world to make living,
have need Of knowing English. For if
he does he can, in the friendly block
ade of trade, sink the boat of his op-
ponent. More than ever before, if We
are to live the practical life, the slo
gan must be Lean English
That after the war the world will
have to learn German we believe to be
a fact Even England will have to
take an interest in the language of the
German barbarians' in spite of the
wealth. simplicity and music of Rus
sian. And the national consciousness
of the German-American has been so
strengthened by the war that the care
and growth of the German language in
North America is certain to be pro-
NOTED.
Our own beautiful, virile, well-con-
structed German tongue would suffer
endlessly if it were to become the uni
versal medium of everyday inter
course. Wherever we may require it
and we hope that we shall require it
the world will have to find il conven-
lent to speak German. But it were
terrible pity for it to become the jar
gon OF universal ports and the patter
of the highways and byways of the
world. German must be the language
of masters"

SWISS VILLAGE FAMOUS FOR LACE

WRECK AS RESULT OF EURO
PEAN WAR.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.-
The effect of the war on the Swiss city
of St. Gall, from whence heretofore
has come so much of the embroidered
muslin in America, is told in a state
ment prpared by the National Geogra
phic Society 1t reads:
Among the innumerable cities and
towns which have been ruined by the
war, is St. Gall, in neutral Switzer-
land. 1t has seen its trade of cen
turies growth swept away by strug-
gle in which its people have no inter
est. ST. Gall is a town of one indus
try and that for the export trade. 1t is
a world-.amous centre for the manu-
facture of machine-embroidered white
goods, and it's wares have found sale
over the whole earth. 1t has done an
annual trade in these articles with
America of between six and seven mil
lion dollars year. 1t, also, had heavy
business with the countries Of Europe,
South America and those of the Orient.
Since the outbreak of the war, its eX-
port routes have been closed, while
some Of it's largest customers have
been forced by their war expenditures
to stop all purchases of foreign-made
Injuries.
THE town has grown wealthy
through the centuries, and 1t has con-
tinually developed its one industry
built many factories, large and small,
where an important percentage of the
embroidered white goods of the world
are worked, and through all the neigh
hood around the city, the same indus
try has found development as home
industry, in which hand machines are
used.

LONDON, March 13.-Neil Primrose,
younger son of Lord Rosebery, who
has been made an Under Secretary of
the Foreign Office, is charged with the
double duty of meeting the American
newspaper correspondents and answer
ing many of the questions raised by
members of the Commons. He is only
39 years old and looks much younger.
He has visited the United States and
met many of the public men of that
country. His fathers reputed boast
that he would be Prime Minister, mar
ry the richest girl in England and win
the Derby, a triumvirate of achieve
ments which he realized, whether he
ever made the boast or not, has not
been very conspicuous of late though
he has made a number of recruiting
speeches. He is said to be victim of
insomnia. The mother of Neil Prim-
rose was Hannah, the Oldest daughter
and heiress of Baron Meyer de Roths-
child, and Neil resembles her greatly
in features. He has an early start in
public life and his career is watched
with interest by his fathers many

FEDS MAKE APPEAL
President Gilmore Files Pc
tition to Close Two Streets.
HACKERS ARE NOT NAMED
Papers to Provide Room for Federal
League Ball Park to Be
Acted on Today.

NEW YORK, December thorough
President Marks is the city official with
whom the president of the Federal
petition asking for the closing Of 143d
and Hath streets between Lenox ave-
nue. and the Harlem river so that ample
room for ball park may be provided
The petition was fled by Mr. Gilmore
two weeks ago and Mr.. Marks prompt
ly referred it to the board of estimates
with a request that it should be placed
on the calendar for today. In draft
ing his petition Mr.. Gilmore did not
name the financial hackers of the pro-
posed New York Feds. He set forth,
it is reported, that he was prepared to
build new street running north and
south. 200 feet east of Lenox avenue, SO
that from 1920 to 145th street it would
be possible to devote three square
blocks of the Feds property to the
building of tenement houses and stores.
Method Of Procedure.
If the Feds petition is placed on to-
days calendar 1t is possible that the
board of estimate will refer it to the
city plan committee, which in turn will
hold public hearing. On the report
of this committee there probably will
be final action by the board of esti-
mate, also by the sinking fund COM
mission. This is the method of pro-
cedure which must be followed by Gill
more and his associates.
Gilmore was quoted as saying yester-
day that he expected favorable action
by the city authorities within the next
four or five weeks when the work of
building the new ball park would be-
gin. For that reason the action of the
board of estimate on the petition which
has been formally handed over by Mr..
Marks will excite unusual interest.
1t was reported yesterday that sew
eral property owners in the neighbor-
hood of the proposed ball yard are
ready to file protests against the clos
ing of the streets. also against the
playing of professional ball games in
that locality. on the ground that the
gathering of crowds would become a
public nuisance. If these protests actu-
ally materialize there will be plenty of
fireworks. no doubt.
