Lasky's Troubles.

Waterbury - The troubles of
George Lasky, saloon keeper at I'll
Bank street continue to grow. as he
repeatedly becomes enmeshed in the
arms Of the law, and in city court this
morning he was again charged by
the liquor prosecutor with violating
the excise laws. Lasky is alleged
to have told a member of the police
department that he had $4,000 to
spend fighting the police. and his
subsequent arrests seem to prove
that it will cost him a large share
If not all of that sum-. a
Lasky a short time ago was ar
rested by two policemen for trouble
he is alleged to have caused when
the officers knocked at his rear
door after closing hour, and ques-
TONED him regarding the identity
Of men still in the place, Later he
was arrested for selling to minors,
and Judge Larkin found him guilty
Of the charge and fined him 5000
and costs. His counsel gave notice
Of an appeal and a bond was filed.

soon as the government of the car
broke down, gave Lenine permission
to cross Germany to Russia in "a
special train. Does any man believe
Germany would do that unless sure
that Lenine could be trusted? More
over, the conduct Of Lenine since re-
turning to Russia indicates that Ger
many knew well what it was doing
when it permitted the famous social
list to cross its territory. He is for
peace, apparently at any price, though
he is trying to mask his real inten-
lions. He knows, and every other
Russian of his intelligence knows,
that with a triumphant Germany,
Russia can never realize it's consum-
ing ambition to become free and

vent it and she can prevent it UNI

MAY RIJY BONDS.

Judges Cummins and Willett of the
Marshalhown district have issued a
blanket order to the effect that trust
funds may be invested in United
States government bonds. This is the
first order of the kind made in the
state and will simplify matters. Here
tofore when administrators or execu-
tors or trustees wanted to invest in
federal securities an order of court
was necessary and some guardians
had to employ "a lawyer to get the
courts consent. Judges Cummins
and Willett have cut away all red
tape and the result will be beneficial
in more ways than one. The order of
the judges is as follows:
1T is hereby ordered that all trus-
tees, executors, administrators or
guardians, having on hand funds
available for investment, may invest
same in United States government
bonds drawing per cent interest"

FOREIGN LANGUAGES.

Only 10 cities out of 1853 OF 25,OOO
population or over reporting to the
Bureau of Education teach foreign
languages below the seventh grade OF
the elementary school, according to a
statement just made public.
Few of the superintendent who
replied to the Bureaus inquiry favor
the teaching of German or any other
foreign language in the lower ele-
mentary school, though many OF them
believe thoroughly in foreign Ian
guage study for students in higher
schools. A California superintendent
says: II was in doubt before the war.

our public schools should teach one
nation, one language. one flag The

Many people are unable to under
stand why the militant equal suffrag-
lists appeal to the President for as
sistance for their national constitu-
tional amendment. The constitution
makes Congress the branch of gov
eminent that has power to propose
constitutional amendments, so the
question naturally arises why the
suffragists direct their attention to
the chief executive. The reason is
plain. The Democratic party is in
power in Congress and when individ-
ual Democratic members are APP
preached many of them excuse them
selves by saying that they are bound
by the party caucus, and when MEM
bers of the prevailing faction Of the
party caucus are approached, they ex-
cuse themselves by saying that the
President is opposed to the amend
ment and they are abiding by his
wishes. Thus does the controlling
party in Congress acknowledge sub
serviency to the President and force
the suffragists to make their appeal
to him rather than to the branch of
the government to which they are en-
titled, under the constitution, to look
for the legislation they desire.

Japan and the United States would
have done we'll by taking China into
their confidence when undertaking to
settle the Chinese question" The
agreement entered into by represen-
tatives of this country and Japan Dis
probably satisfactory to China, or
would be had China been consulted.
But the, national pride of the Chinese
people was offended when matters of
such vital Importance to China were
settled by outside governments with
out so much as even asking China
what she thought about it. 1t was a
blunder and nobody can blame Chin
ese statesmen for being peeved. And
nobody need fool themselves with the
belief that China lacks in statesmen
Of real character and ability.

FREDERICK THE GREAT.

The statue of Frederick the Great
in front of the war college in Wash
ington has gotten onto the nerves OF
some of the men who have been going
past it daily since this country became
involved in war with Germany, and
some of the more excitable ones want
the thing removed. But why not leave
it there with the explanation that
Frederick the Great was the founder
of the present real Prussianism that
is trying to dominate the world and
that Frederick was honest enough TO
admit it. In the time of Frederick
wars were regarded more as the play
things of kings, and the suffering in
flicted upon the people hardly received
passing notice even from the people
themselves. The victory was simply
guaged by what territory one king
wrested from another and the question
of how many precious lives the "vic-
tory" cost was never thought of. In
the eighteenth century Frederick set
the pace by Selling the Silesian
province of Austria much in the same
manner as William has seized Bel
GUM. However, a couple of centuries
ago that sort of thing was deemed legi-
innate by all Civilized" nations. Now
it is so regarded by none save Ger
many, and perhaps Turkey. Nobody's
moral sense was offended by Fred
erick's course. 1t was simply a move
upon the checker board by the kings
and no account was taken of the num-
Der of men sacrificed if the king row
was finally reached and the enemy
beaten. It has been said that the
world has not progressed in its moral
view of war since that time. That
portion of it dominated by Germany
has not, but the balance of the world
has. Bismarck held to the view OF
Frederick the Great, but Bismarck
was cute enough to always make it
appear that Germany was forced into
war, and went to the extreme Of crib

der can be saved If our soft corn is
handled properly.
In this connection The Register
cannot do better than to carry to
its readers the advice of Clyde Bren-
ton of the Iowa National bank, one of
the biggest corn growers and stock
feeders in the state. He urges that
the soft corn be taken from the field
only as it is fed, and that the time
that would be spent in husking in an
ordinary year be spent in separating
and saving the sound corn.
Iowa stands to lose a great deal OF
good corn and great deal of fodder
corn if the good is husked with the
bad and all is thrown into one dump.
The soft corn will spoil, and will take
the good corn with it.

It is reported that at one section
of the Italian German -Austro battle
front during a lull in fighting the
German and Italian soldiers became
chummy and finally agreed that they
would not fire upon each other to kill
when the order was given. OF course
it was all a put-up job on the part OF
the Germans, who told their officers
Of the agreement. The German sold
iers in that particular region were
shifted elsewhere unknown to the
Italians, and when the order to shoot
came the Italians lived up to their
compact, with the result that they
were moved down in platoons. 1t
seems strange that at this late date
of the war there is anybody of ordin-
ary intelligence who will take the
;gerd ct 4 German German soldier or Ger
man official or a GerMMesn sy sym
for anything. The ItallaA soiulels

vince the outside world that France

vince the outside world that France
was the aggressor. The kaiser tried
the same kind of game this time
and made many people believe him I'M
til he and his government were thor
oughly discredited for truth and YER
acity by the uncovering of innumer-
able conspiracies and plots entered
upon before the present war was
launched. It is recalled that be-
fore the outbreak of war in 1914 Ger
man newspapers published what pur-
ported to be a dispatch from France
in response to demand from Berlin
as to what France would do in the
event of a war between Russia and
Germany. 1t was made to appear that
Paris had announced that the French
cry would be ION to Berlin" OF course
France made no such reply, but the
German mind was inlamed by the
false publication and it furnished an
excuse for Germany to invade Belgium
and France as soon as she declared
war upon Russia.
BY all means let the statue OF Fred
erick the Great remain in Washington
and let all the people know OF the
record of conquest made by him at the
expense of his own people as well as
at the expense of his enemies. Fred
erick the Great was responsible for
the wars into which he led his people,
Just as William is responsible for the
wars in which he is leading Germany
today.

The Atlantis News Telegraph, ac-
cording to the Sioux City Journal, lis
talking as If Nate Kendall might be a
candidate for tho sena1orship against
Senator Kenyon" It is na'dly likaly
that Mr.. Kendall will give TIE mat
ter serious consideration. He is ac-
counted man Of good judgment and
is politician of discernment. He
must know, as everybody knows, that
there is no man in Iowa who can dis
lodge Senator Kenyon. The people
like Kenyon because Of his honesty
and sincerity and will stand by him
at the primaries and election. AS a
little diversion from war talk it
might be harmless to discuss the pos
sibilities of Mr.. Kendall defeating
Kenyon, but nobody in Iowa will SER
iously consider such thing.
