Teach French in
 School; Not German

Cleveland. June 13.-German lam guage instruction, except to students of chemistry, has been abandoned for the period of the war by the faculty of Case school of applied science. French will be substituted.

Delegates of Trade
 Councils Insist on Right to Conference


 London, June 13.-The holding up of the socialist labor delegation to Russia by the seamen's and firemen's union is causing good deal of com ment and occupied much space in the papers. There is a sharp conflict of opinion and Ramsay Macdonald and Frederick W. Jowett, the heads of the delegation, have received strong support from the Glasgow trade coun- sil.
 The trade council has te1egraphed to the premier, the shipping control Ter, the foreign minister and the la bor party, protesting against the holdup of the delegation and saying among other things
 '.The action of the seamen's union may cause labor unrest
 Meetings were held throughout Glasgow last evening at which the attitude of the council was endorsed.
 Several of the morning papers con firm the report that MacDonald and Jowett have signed a guarantee that they would insist On restitution to Allied merchant seamen for murder and destruction committed by Ger man submarines. The papers say, however, that the labor delegates op- ponents declare that their action has come too late. President Wilson of the seanien's union Is also quoted as saying:
 'The view of the union has been modified owing to the seamen's dis trust as to the fulfilment of the guar antee. They further demand an apol- ogy for insults offered at the leagues conference, where they were refused a hearing and denunciations of the submarines were scoffed att I It is reported but cannot be con. 1 firmed that Macdonald and Jowet1 have gone to another port. Another
 rumor is that the delegates will eros: the North sea in an aerop1ane.

After he had insulted the intelll-

NEVER LOSE HOPE.
Rejected SWANS Become Most Noted
Men in History.

Young man, when sweet damscl
has thrown you over for some no-ac-
count whippersnapper and life looks
duh and bleak. just bear these facts
in mind
James A. Garfield was Tilted by a
girl whose family wanted her to
marry a man with better prospects.
Abraham Lincoln was numerically
snuDbcd by girl whom he courted
and who married Il man whose very
name Is now foI gotten
George Washington is credited with
no loss than three fittings.
Napoleon Ill, emperor of France
was rejected by about half the
prncesses In Europe.
Mighty Miles Standish was refused
by Priscilla for meek John Alden.
Charles Dickens as a young man
adored Paria Beadnell. She amused
herself with the young novelist and
at last dropped him to marry a man
named Winter Winter lost his
money and Maria wrote asking Dick
ems to help them ont; Dickens didn't.
Byron was rejected by girl to
whom he POLITICALLY offered his love.
bismarck was engaged to Miss Rus-
sell, n Yellow haired English girl
whom he met at n German spa But
she was OF noble blood and her family
looked down on the big, young
Prusslan soldier and he lost his suit.
John Ruskin loved.a French girl
Milo. de la Touche.' He courted her
long and devoutedly, but she would
have none of him.
SO despair not, loving youth The
j.lt may be the beginning Of riches,
honor, glory; don't permit II TO be
the beginning of the end. II all you
love. or ever hope to love, hand you
the frosty nit" II might be worse,
for
stone;
He travels the fastest who travels
alone.

'SeUenty-Sir.

What heroes from the woodland sprung.
When thru the fresh awakened land,
The thrilling cry Of Freedom rung,
And To tho work of warfare strung
The Neomans iron hand
Hills flung tho cry to bills around,
And ocean mart replied to mart,
And streams. whose springs were yet unfound
Pealed far away the startling sound
Into the forests heart.
Then marched the brave from rocky steep.
From mountain river swift and cold;
The borders of the stormy deep.
The Wales where gathered waters sleep
Sent up the strong and bold
As If the very earth again
Grew quick with Gods creating breath.
And from the sods of grove and glen
Rose ranks of lion hearted men.
To battle to the death.
The fair, fond bride OF ycster eve
And aged sire and matron gray,
Saw the loved warriors haste away,
And deemed II SIN to grieve.
Already had the strife begun
Already blood on Concords plain
Along the springing grass had run.
And blood had flowed at Lexington.
Like brooks OF April rain.
That death stain on the vernai sward
Halowcd to freedom all the shore;
In fragments fell the yoke abhorred -
The footsteps of n foreign lord
Profaned the soil no more.
