THE GERMAN LANGUAGE

AS usual, DR.. Van Schaick is right
in decrying the effort, reported from
a neighboring city, of stopping the
study of German in the high schools.
We shall want to read Goethe and
Schiller and Richter still, in the orig
inal. Philosophy can never pay its
debt to Hegel and Kant. Nor would
science like to be handicapped in its
study of German development. Ger
man will never be a world-language
as French once was and as English
now is. But its treasures of litera-
ture can never be locked to the hu-
man mind. Besides, think of the in
teresting reading we shall have when
the war is over and a freed German
scholarship begins to express itself
adequately about the disaster which
the rule of the Hohenzollerns
brought upon Germany. 1t would be
a pity for American youth to forego
that pleasure.

MISSIONARY HAS QUARREL
Japanese Students Declare Belief In
Greatness Of First Emperor.

TOKYO. March (by maiD.-The
Rev. ]. NJ. McCaleb, an American mis-
sionary from Boston, is in the midst
OF the quarrel with his Japanese stu
dents here today over the divinity of
Christ
When one of the students declared
that Jimmu Tenno, Japan's first EN-
peror, was even greater than Jesus
Christ, DR.. McCaleb took issue with
him.
The students angered, passed a
resolution demanding that the mis-
sionary leave the county.
DIR. McCaleb. who came here twenty
five years ago and operates independ-
emily of any mission, refused to go: and
also objected to the students raising
their national flag over the school on
Kigensetsu day, explaining that II
contained the element OF ancestor
worship.

HITCHCOCK AND NEBRASKA

Senator Hitchcock, after g long
course of pro-Germanism in the Sen
ate, with his special hobby Of put
ting an embargo on munitions Of war
for the allies, suddenly emerged in
place of Stone, in the closing days Of
the last session, in charge Of the
armed ship bill and fought for its
adoption with intelligence and zeal
against the successful efforts Of the
Twelve. Since that time, President
Wilson has conferred with Senator
Martin of Virginia, elected floor
leader of the Senate majority. Yes
terday, he conferred with Senator
Hitchcock. The result was anything
but reassuring to the country.
The White House promptly let it
be known that the Senator wac ex'
pressing his personal views only, in
the interview that followed his visit.
Nebraska, it seems, whose other rep
resentative in the Senate is Norris,
wants the President to Ego slow.
For that reason Hitchcock favors
the slow course himself. He was
loath to discuss whether he would
be put in charge of the resolution to
be indorsed by the Administration.
The country will be equally loath to
believe that the choice rests between
him and Stone, as representing the
Administration.
Does Nebraska really indorse
Bryan and Norris in their pacifism,
or Hitchcock in his plan Of indorsing
EARNED neutrality" as the limit of
patriotic endeavor, or is it really
American like the rest of the coun-
try? In the words of the japanese
schoolboy, eve ask to know"

STUPIDITY OF FRIGHTFULNEss

The rape of Belgium in which the
doctrine Of frightfulness was first
promulgated put the civilized world
on the side Of the allies. The cruiser
and Zeppelin raids on defenseless
English cities swelled the British
armies in the early days of the war,
Submarine piracy has turned the
greatest neutral nation into a bel
ligerent. And now the unspAkable
crimes of the German soldiers in
desolating the region in France
which they lately occupied has sue
ceeded in giving a spirit to the
French soldiers, almost irresistible
before, which is sweeping the re-
treating Germans past the linden
burg line. Frightfulness seems to
have been successful only in keen
ing the small neutral nations con-
tiguous to Germany from endeavor-
ing to avenge their wrongs. But the
reckoning is yet to come. Part of it
will be made when the terms of
peace are arranged. For the rest,
Germany has made its very name
odious to humanity and to civiliZa-
ton for generations to come.

LAST NIGHTS DESTRUCTION OF
STREET CAR PROPERTY

Whoever conceived and executed
the plan involving the destruction OF
the property of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company at Sec
ond and E streets last night was
whatever he thought himself to be-
no friend of the striking car men, 1t
was an indefensible act and The
Times hopes that those guilty will
be apprehended and properly pun
ished.
No other city in the country Of the
size of Washington ever had a street
car strike conducted with SO little OF
as has been the case since
the disagreement between the local
company and its employees came to
the breaking point. 1t is highly to
the credit of the men that they have
practiced an admirable self-restraint
and a wise regard for the law.
No one should be more interested
than the union itself in seeing that
the men engaged in last nights out
rage are brought to Justice. To sup
port or shield them will detract from
a well-earned favorable opinion now
held by the public.

SIR MOSES EZEKIEL,
SCULPTOR, is DEAD
Famous vlrginian Departed Life
At Rome, Where He Long
Had Lived.

Sir Moses Ezekiel, the sculptor,
whose work is widely known In
Washington, who had lived IN Rome
for forty years, died yesterday At
the Italian capital. No details con-
cerning his illness and death have
yet been received in this country.
Sir Moses, a virginian by birth,
was responsible for many statues
and monuments in Washington and
throughout the country. and was
well known here. He last visited her
in 1914.
He designed, among other pieces OF
work, the confed<rAte soldiers mon
ument, at the Arlington National
Cemetery, which he considered his
masterpiece. On scores Of occasions
he let Il be known that he desired
to be buried at Arlington in the
shadow OF this monument, and along
side the thousands OF Confederate
soldiers, many OF whom were his
comrades.
Sir Moses was q native of Rich
mond, Va, where> he was born In
1874.
ne was kuABnlcd W eAc &NA--o ~
Italy and the Emperor Of Germany
conferred upon him the Crosses OF
Merit and Art. but despite, his title
and his fame, he was retiring and
modest and preferred to be called Mr..
Ezekiel. He studied art at the Royal
Academy in Berlin and first won dis
tinction when he was awarded the
prize of Rome at Berlin in 1S73.
Sir Moses WAS a cadet at the Vir-
ginia Military Institute when the
civil war broke out, took part in the
battles Of Newmarket witht he Cadet
corps and later enlisted in the con-
federate army. He was captured and
spent some time as a prisoner at
Castle Thunder. At the conclusion of
the war he returned to the military
institute and was graduated He was
very proud of his close association
with Gen. Robert z. Lee and General
Jackson.

RAILROADS IN CHINA

In the midst of war the plans for
internal improvements in the great
Oriental republic are going forward.
President W. F. Carey of the COM
pany which is undertaking the first
Chinese railroads to be built by con-
tract has recently returned from the
East with favorable reports of the
situation. A total Of 700 miles of
roadway is under survey. The engi-
neers engaged in laying out the
roads are Chinese graduates of
American universities, working un-
der the general direction of the
American George Kyle and the ma
tive engineer. T. C. Sun.
This union of American and Chi
nese forces in the constructive work
of making the new China is logical
as well as fortunate thing. Of late
some attempts have been made in
magazine articles and elsewhere to
belittle the lasting Importance Of
John Hays work in securing the
"open door" 1t is true the said door
has had a way of slamming shut
now and then. and at times there
has been a suspicion that it was reu-
dered self-closine with Japanese
springs. Nevertheless the moral eff
feet of Americas consistent attitude
has never been lost.
One indication of the view of the
men of China themselves, who ought
to know whether Hay did anything
for them or not, is the bill now going
through the Chinese Parliament to
authorize the erection of a monu-
ment to Hays memory. This will be
placed in the chief public park of
Peking. But the railroads to be
built with American capital will be
no less a monument to the practical
friendship between these two ma
tions.

oPTlMIsTs PATRIOTIC
Club Dinner at the Cochran Is Scene
Of Demonstration.

Patriotism reached a high pitch at
q banquet of the Optimists' Club, held
at the Cochran Hotel last night, at
which John Barrett, director-general
of the Pan-American Union, spoke on
preparedness, and told of his exper-
fences abroad when he visited the
trench lines of the allies.
Every optimist Is prepared for the
worst" said Mr.. Barrett, introducing
his topic of preparedness. He made
many references to the necessity for
prompt action on the part of the
United States, and every reference he
made was app1auded vigorously by
the 100 members and guests of the
club.
While dinner was being served, q
musical entertainment was given by
William Clayborn, baritone; James
Young, tenor, and Byron BlodEett.
pianist.
G. S. Wainwright, president OF the
club, was toastmaster, and explained
that the local organization was one of
a string of III similar clubs through
out the United States which could be
counted on to support the President
and the nation in whatever eventual
ity should occur.

PARTTsANsHIP TO THE REAR

If, as Champ Clark, Claude
Kitchin, and the rest of the Demo-
cratic leaders assure US, the Demo-
Gratis will have the votes, in combi-
nation with the Independents, to or
ganize the House next Monday. they
are entitled to proceed with the Or
ganiZation and as rapidly as pos
sible. Champ .Clark's elegant ex-
preston, that the "tail should 90
with the hide" meaning that the
committees should go with the
Speakership, is not very reassurine,
however. The Republicans will be
entitled, from their nearly equal
vote with the Democrats, to nearly
equal representation on the commit
tees, giving the chairman the decid-
ing vote. A House majority de-
pending upon the vote of five Inde-
uendents, upon keeping Tammany
Congressman in line on all occasions
and placating Democratic pro-Ger-
mans in the House will be in un-
stable equilibrium throughout the
session.
Real majorities in the approaching
session will not be coincident with
political majorities. The real ma
jority in the House is overwhelm-
ingly American. 1t will stand for
American rights, American honor,
and American interests at home d
abroad. On the Republican side it
will make Lenroot rather than Mann
the floor leader in fact, unless Mann
has now learned his lesson and has
left his pro-Germanism in Haiti OF
in the deep blue sea. On the Demo
cratic side it will take the bit in its
teeth if Kitchin, or Flood, or Fitz-
gerald should be afflicted with the
counsels of timidity. 1t would be
difficult to frame committees that
would not have a Republican-Demo
cratic majority of real Americans
Aore than that. it is an excellent op.
portunitv TO nut none but true anG
tried Americans, with no previous
taint of hyphenism, on guard as
chairmen of all the committees hav.
ing to do with the safeguarding Of
American interests.

partisanship cannot rise into patriot
ism, partisans of both sides will
speedily learn what the people think
of them and the press of the country
will be swift to convey the needed
information about them to their con-
stituents and to them from their con-
stituents. The best politics that can
now be played is not to play nolitics
at all.
