NOT HIGH-BRow MOVEMENT

In speaking of the Better Speech"
campaign, DR.. Clapp stressed the point
that it is not a high brow" movement
"While we are working through the
colleges" he said, Eve are working
also through department stores, rail-
roads, country schools, civic organiza-
tons, and the like"
While in Birmingham DR.. Clapp con-
ferred with Mrs. Conrad Ohme, member
of the board of education as to the best
means of getting the movement be-
fore the people in this section. Mrs.
Ohlne will, it is understood, continue
the work in Birmingham after Dr.
Clapp has returned to New York.
1.-THE study of better English" said
DIR. Clapp, els one which is badly
needed. In the first place, when we
went to school we were not taught to
speak at all times as correctly as we

Remains the Leader of Military Situation and Has Army'S
 Confidence
MAY GO TO GERMANY.
Will be the Important
Representative at Conference of
 TeutOnS.

LONDON. Sept. %. - A dispatch from Milan to the Daily Telegraph says the Milan Secolo has the following from Rome:
 Despite certain rumors Of discon- tent and agitation among the old Turks. Enver Pasha still is undis- puted dictator and arbitrator of the military situation in Eurkey and enjoys the entire confidence of the Turkish army. 1T Enyer therefore, goes to Germany, it is not visit of courtesy Its object is military and political.
 The conferences between the re- sponsible heads of th Teutonic coal ition is for solution of the grave problems in which King Ferdinand is also interested. The situation in the Germaniac league is critical but not yet desperate. A German of fensiye on interior lines is no lon ger impossible. The defensive pow CTS of the Central powers are de- clining owing to the lack of re- serves and the growing inferiority of numbers compared with the En- tente Allies.
 That Austria-Hungary has no re- serves is abundantly proved in Tran. sylvania. The enemy is able to take the offensive only at one point, viz: Dobrudja. but this will certainly be checked by the combined Russian and Rumanian forces. The concen- tration of a strong Russian force in Bessarabia was announced months ago. and if Premier Bratiano preferr- ed to anticipate a declaration of war before the Russian expeditions was fully ready, 1t was because greater advantages were assured by a sur prise movement in Pennsylvania, and compared with it, the German ad vance in Dobrudja is small There is nothing to show it will not end in disaster if the great Russian forces are brought into action"
