SCHOOL GIRLS WON'T
sing DEUTSCHLAND
Open Revolt Near When Class
Is Ordered to Learn Ger
man Song.

BALTIMORE, Feb. S-The German
song, Deutschland Ueber Allies" has
been blacklisted in the Western high
school. II it had not been the ma
jority of at least one class of girls
would have openly revolted in the
classroom, even though that meant
expulsion from the school.
And some Of the girls said yester-
day that they hadn't weakened one
bit In the stand that led to the black
listing of the song, and that they
would rather be expelled than sing
Deutschland Ueber Allies" in the
classroom.
With the order (said to have come
from Principal David E. Wegleinl
that the Indignant girls need not sing
the German song IL they didn't want
to. there has disappeared from West
ern high school the last vestige o.
anything that smacks of more than
q cold, scientific regard for Germany.
The girls will still study the
language, and they do not object to
singing harmless German folksongs
that are free from any spirit of Ger
man conquest, or even Die Wacnt
am Rhein." But the little German
Club, composed OF girls In the German
class, has virtually disappeared and
the German colors that members OF
the club used to wear on their dresses
have vanished entirely along with
Deutschland Ueber Allies"
U-Boat Note Caused II.
The rebellion among the patriotic
American young women at the West
ern started last Friday in the class
of Miss Emile S. Rinehart, teacher
of German. That was exactly two
days after the imperial German gov
eminent had announced that 1t pro-
posed to renew its policy of unre-
stricted submarine warfare. Miss
Rinehart assigned for study the song
Deutschland Ueber Allies" The class
was directed to be prepared 10 sing
1t yesterday.
The girls got together and a dele
cation of girls was appointed to pro-
test to. Mr.. Weglein, the principal.
Mr.. Weglein told the delegation he
would take the matter up"
The atmosphere in Miss Rinehart's
class was tense yesterday. The stu
dents had not heard whether or not
Mr.. Weglein had ordered Miss Rine-
hart to eliminate the German song
from the program, and they did not
know whether they were to have
smooth sailing or whether they were
going to revolt. But they were ready
for the worst.
Miss Rinehart said that "Deutch-
land Ueber Allies" would not be sung,
but that the words would be written
on paper.

The cause of. and remedies for, the
high cost of living are treated OF in q
late publication OF the Monetary Educa.
tional Bureau of this city. written by T
Cushing Daniel
A monetary system corresponding tc
the Constitution OF the United States is
suggested by the author as a remedy
The causes which brought about the ad-
Ianced cost Of existence are taken Ut
one by one, and what is pointed as as
the main cause is dwelt upon at length
Mr.. Gushing is OF the opinion that the
basic cause of all the minor causes. Is
the imitation Of bank credits as sub
stitute for money.
The author OF this book brings to the
solution Of his problem years OF eX-
perience in commercial life; the study
OF law familiarity with all Of the finan-
cial legislation of Congress on money
the debates and records Of all OF the
international conferences on money
since 1867: the study of the works OF
leading economists on the subject, and

them were not becoming. But now
the mannishly dressed girl is withal
DELIGHTFULLY."- feminine. Somehow, the
very mannIsh cut to her toys seems
to accentuate the daintiness and grace
of her woman's figure and features.
There really are a lot of women
who do things away from home who
have found that the mannish shirt Is
easier and more generally suitable
than the usual sort OF frilled and
tucked and lacy blouse that most
women wear. or course, all women
wear suits nowadays and most women
have one suit at least that is cut on
the regulation tailor style-notched
collar, beIted back, long plain sleeves
and plaIn buttoned front. And women
stiII wear their. suit skirts short
enough to look sensible, and there Is
nothing so very unusual in seeing a
woman wear low-heeled shoes on the
snort order for the street. So look
ing mannish nowadays is not so very
much of a jump from looking simply
well dressed for the street

are to be the rule next summer, even

snort clothes were almost the rule
last year. But they are so pretty this

fort, that everybody Is going to wear
them.
