American naval experts do not agree
with the view that the lull IN SUD-
marine activities indicates a collapse
OF the U-boat campaign OF that anti
submarine measures have proved who'll
" effective They agree that progress
ia being made against the enc
but prefer to postpone judgment on
whether the U-boat has been eliminat-
ed as a factor until the theory has beer
more thoroughly tested. Meanwhile
the American navy will continue Its
preparation to deal with the menace.
In reply to a question IN the House OF
Commons Sir Eric Geddes. First Lord
Of the Admiralty. said:
THE good return Of tonnage sink
ing by enemy submarines last week
and, indeed, the comparatively favor
able result of the last two months
ought not to be taken as indicating
that the submarine menac is a thing
Of the past or defeated"
Sir Eric recalled his recent speech
in the House Of Commons, in which
he said the enemy's attack on British
trade was being held but had not been
defeated, that the Germans were build
ing submarines faster than the British
were destroying them, but that with
improved methods he looked for the
eventual defeat OF this menace He
also reminded his hearers ne had said
mercantile marine tonnage was not be-
ing maintained against the d~epreda-
lions Of submarines.

Is keeping the noses OF the C-boat

many occasions from stalking their
prey among the commerce carriers

Des Moines. Nov. 20.-State officials
have received a report from the gov
eminent on its inquiry as to foreign
languages taught in the elementary
grades Of the public schools Of this
country. N!aeteen cities out of 1863. Of
$4,000 population or more, reporting to
the federal bureau of education. teach
foreign languages below the seventh
grade. Two Iowa cities are included
in he list. Davenport and Dubuque.
In twelve of these cities German Is
he foreign language taught. In three
cities German, French and Spanish are
all taught in the elementary grades.
and in one city German. Italian m
Polish are taught. In three other cities
French and Spanish are taught alone
or in combination.
In Davenport German is taught in
all Of the grades, and so per cent OF
the children study it. In Dubuque Ger
mar is taught in the elementary grades
and so per cent of the children study
it.
Reason and Comment.
The circular prints comments by su-
perintendents. and from Davenport the
report is: German is taught because
German-American grandparents n
many parents demand it,
Other comments on the teaching Of
German in the public schools follow:

Joliet, nl.-"The public schools should
not assist in perpetuating a foreign

VIEWPOINTS in the community"
AS to suggested policy, however. the
federal bureau of education concludes
as follows:
There Is general agreement among
educators and public men. both In this
country and abroad. that there should
be no interference with h existing
high school and college provisions Tor
the teaching of German: that a knowl-
edge OF the German language now -
more important than it was before the
war. The upper elementary grades. es-
pecially where organized as junior high
schools, may quite properly offer 1or
eign languages, including German, but
educators generally look upon the
teaching Of foreign languages in the
lower elementary trades as OF very
questionable value"

SELECT SEED CORN AT PICKING,
IT'S Best Method If Supply Was MOI
Gathered Before Eroat.

Where sufficient seed ears were not
picked from the field before evere
frost, selecting SEED corn at gathering
time Is advisable. This Is better prac-
tice than picking from the crib during
the winter and spring months, the
farm crops department at Iowa State
College has found. Crib stored corn
will usually not terminate as well or
grow as strongly as when fall selected
and carefully dried.
Desirable seed ears can be chosen
either while unloading or by sorting
from the crib after every two or three
loads have been stored. A better plan
is to attach a small box to the outside
OF the wagon box and collect the we'll
formed and mature caw while husk-
ing. These ears should he placed nm
mediately in a dry and well ventilated
room so that the surplus moisture can
escape quickly from the corr without
injuring the vitality Of the seed. Three
or our times the amoun needed for
the 1913 crop should be selected.
