UNCLE SAM is ON THE JOB

You just have to hand it to your
Uncle Samuel!
We always did believe that Ger
man mentality was not half the
equal of that of the average Ameri-
can and the way we got hold of that
little note of Germany's to Mexico
is one more point in evidence Of this
fact.
When it is considered that this
bit of crooked diplomacy must have
been guarded with all the secrecy
of which the high German officials
were capable, and that all the eff
cient precautions which this efficient
race was able so efficiently to ap-
ply to protect this note from Ameri-
can eyes; chen you consider, we re
peat, that a plain untitled American
swept aside this vauntcd efficiency
nd got copy of this damning docu.
mentary evidence of German treacl-
y, you have to hand it to his honor
he American Citizen.
OF course the whole story is not
out yet, of how this document was
procured, but we know enough to
tealizc that very fine piece of Sc.
crct service work has been accomp-
iisned by the American government

PROGRESS Seen in
TEACHING ALIENS
Movement for Americanization of
Immigrants Shows Rapid
Growth.
MANY STATES NOW GIVE Aid
Uncle Sam, Through Bureau Of Edu.
cation, Has Brought About Co
operation Among the Vari.
Gus Agencies.

Uncle Sam believes that notable
progress has been made during the
last three years In the Americaniza-
ton of immigrants in the United
States.
In report published by the bureau
OF education Of the department Of the
interior, II. III. Wheaton, specialist
in immigration education, points out
that in 1914 when the bureau Of educa-
tion began national investigation OF
facilities for the education Of aliens,
chaos existed in this important phase
of education. Few established and
well-approved standards existed, and
practically all methods were in the
experimental stage. Policies, except
that Of federal non-interference, were
known only to cities and states where
evening schools for immigrants had
been long maintained. Public agencies
of various kinds were endeavoring to
treat the problem each In It's own way,
without definite endeavor to cooperate
with other agencies, and with no fixed
policies. Immigrant education was
considered ut this time primarily
matter for local attention and juris-
diction. The spectacle Of cities work
Ing out methods independently and
adopting fads In immigration educa-
tiOn without the co-ordinating infu-
ence Of even clearing house of in
formation was so common as hardly
to excite comment. State supervision,
and especially state aid, had not at
this time been seriously considered.
Only one state, New Jersey, had speci-
fed financial aid for the encourage
ment Of immigrant classes.
Private Agencies Hampered Work.
In contrast to state and federal
agencies, numerous private agencies
and organizations-city, state and ma
tional; civic, patriotic, and education
al-were exploiting the field Of immi-
grant education extensively. Ere.
quently this was due to Interior mo-
tives, among which may be cited the
desire to secure financial support. Ow.

LIFT YOUR CoRNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen q tender corn or
callus SO it lifts out without
pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from locwjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati author
ityto use drug called freezone,
which the moment few drops are ap-
piled to any corn or callus the sore
ness is relieved and soon the entire
corn or callus, root and all, lifts off
with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment is is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any Of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet Of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. II your druggist hasn't an
freezone he can get 1t at any whole

SMASH THE SUBMARINE
BLOCKADE.

President Wilson has made an
swer to the untruths of DR.. Won
bethmann-Hollweg, the German i'm
perial chancellor. The answer is
hnal' conclusive, crushing. 1t is the
most astounding revelation in the
astounding history of the past thirty
months. 1t consists of documentary
proof over the signature of Herr
zimmerman, the German Foreign
Ministsl ~ Germany on January
IL secretIy proposed to Mexico an
alliance Of Germany, Mexico and ia
pan to make war on the United
States and to partition the territory
IF this country.
The mind cannot Immediately
grasp all that this means. But there
are some truths that leap to the
fore and the most important of them
that Germany is now and has been
Tor weeks and months our deadly
md dangerous enemy and that her
'lctory in this war almost
certainly mean that we would have
to fight for our lives. That is the
most practically important of the
truths driven home by the revelation
OF Germany's great conspiracy. 1t
should absolutely govern and con-
troll the policy of this government
from this time on. Germany is our
enemy as much as she is the enemy
of Britain and France Her victory
would threaten our existence Just as
1T would threaten the existence of
Britain and France. Our own safe
ty, our own welfare, the lives of our
own people, the existence of our
own country require that Germany
be defeated.
We must help to defeat her. There
can be no further doubt about that.
The time has passed for soft con-
cealments and for the lodging of
facts. If the German submarine
blackade succeeds, if it shows signs
of succeeding, the United States
will stand in deadly peril. For our
own lives and for our own country's
safety we must do what we can to
smash the German submarine block
| ade. Germany has now committed
| against us an act of war of the dead.
liest kind-her secret proposal to
Mexico to attack the United States
and to bring Japan in. No nation
ever had better warrant than the
| United States now has for a decla.
ration of war. Whether or not we
should take that step is now pure
ly military question. The answer
depends solely upon whether or no
a declaration of war by the United
would be most conduc i've to the de
feat of Germany in the world-strug
gle.
That is question for those VIII,
are at the head of the Government
and who know the facts. The on
fact of overmastering Importance i
that Germany is our present an
formidable enemy, that she is ain,
ing to destroy US, that our safety re
quires her defeat. That fact mus
determine the course of the Prcsi
dent, of Congress, and of every loya
American.

some private agencies, furthermore,
well well-meaning, but directed
through the wrong channels.
In tracing developments since 1914,
Mr.. Wheaton declares:
Progress In every way has been
rapid, definite, and extensive. Govern
mental authorities everywhere, city,
state and federal, have expressed seri-
GUS interest in the problem, and have
taken definite steps to provide ade-
quate facilities. Municipalities have
seen that the education Of the immi.
grant, especially through the provision
Of evening classes, Is to be treated
as a fundamental part Of the educa-
tional system, rather than as an incl
dent or adjunct to the day-school sys-
tenn to be maintained or not at will,
or according to the amount Of money
In the school treasury. Many of che
states, such as California, Michigan,
and New York, and particularly the
state department of education, have
come to appreciate the fact that the
immigrant Is not merely a local prob
lem. The transitory nature Of his
employment, and hence residence, have
been increasingly appreciated in their
bearing upon his education. While
the primary obligation of the city has
been acknowledged, both officials and
citizens have grown to see that the
secondary obligation Of the state to as
sist the city and the local school dis
trict in this particular type of edu-
cation Is one of such imperative na-
ture as to demand financial assist
ance and state supervision and CO.
ordination Of activities.
More Cooperation Now.
On the other hand, private agencies
have seen the futility Of competition
among themselves and with public
agencies and institutions. Hence they
have increasingly adopted the prac-
tice of establishing facilities only
where they do not exist, or where pub
lie facilities cannot for financial rea-
sons, be made to meet the local prob
lem. The practice has become more
and more established of placing pri-
vate facilities under the supervision
of appropriate public school officials,
and of turning over to the latter such
facilities as rapidly as financial and
other reasons will permit. The re-
suit is today that the evolution of
! education has forced large measure
of cooperation on the part Of agencies
and individuals interested in the
training of immigrants for citizenship
In America. Although this Is the
transition period, yet principles, poll
, cies, standards, and methods are now
! more clearly delineated than ever be-
