You will wake up feeling fit and fine
Cascarets never grippe or bother YOU

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 27.--An Amer
can who has spent ten years in Euro

pels him to take the viewpoint of an
impartial observer, reached here to-
day after six weeks in Petrograd, and
gives a pessimistic report of the fight
ing spirit in Russia and of political

There is no fighting spirit except
among the Cossacks and Caucasians,
and that seems to be waning. A eau
casian colonel said to me:
There are no real fighters left in
Russia except us, and We are not
Russians, thank God, but Caucasians
and Mohammedans.'
The interior cities and villages are
filled with Russian troops who refuse
to go to the front Young Russians
of the better class are hunting the
streets of Petrograd for men willing
to become officers. Since the murder
of officers by men has become a daily
occurrence on the most trial excuse,
no one will take commissions.
Reports of open disobedience of
troops at the front are countless.

twelve THOUSAND
CHILDREN LEARNING
NATIVE LANGUAGE
Alsatian Youngsters Learning
To Forget Their German
Education and Studying
Pronunciation of French.

THANH, Alsace, Sept. p GORE
spondence of the Associated Press).-
Twelve thousand Alsatian children are
now trying to lose their German &C
cent in French schools in the three
districts into which the liberated
part of Alsace has been divided for
administrative purposes.
A fortnight after the French troops
entered Dannemarie, the first Alsatian
town reoccupied, French schools were
in operation with French officers ard
soldiers as teachers. Consequently a
number of the pupils have now had
three years instruction in French,
which at once supplemented German,
under the French system of absolutely
free education, with books and school
supplies furnished by the state.
The Progress made by the children
is remarkable, excepting as concerns
pronunciation. The habit of pro-
nouncing words exactly as they are
spelled was so strong they haven't yet
mastered the difficulties of the French
mutes, diphthongs and liasons, but
they are very strong on grammar,
which, after German, they find is mere
play.
The French administration here has
shown every tolerance of local tradi-
tons. The daily prayer in the school
room, abolished in French public
schools years ago, has been allowed
to survive. The military govern,;:' of
the reclaimed territory has given
strictest orders that no infringement,
even upon religious customs of the
population, be permitted.
Schools were installed anywhere ana
everywhere at the beginning, the ole
school houses in many cases being in
the danger zone. In good weather
classes were heard in the open air.
Now they are all provided with COM
Portable and safe rooms attractively
decorated and made in every way so
inviting that few children are tempted
to play truant.
There are now SO of these schools
in operation, with 113 schonlmist-
resses and SO schoolmasters, the lat
ter recruited from among the mutilat-
ed soldiers mustered out of the army.
A few of them are the old Alsatian
teachers of French origin wbo have
readily assimilated the French meth
DDS of instruction. OF the schoolmIs-
tresses, 80 are Sisters of Charity of
the congregation of the Divine Provi-
dence," who have never ceased to
protest against the annexation of AL
SAGE by Germany They render ines
Unable services to the French admin
istration, which has braved the anger
of the anti-clericals by retaining them
at their posts.
The soldier-teachers wear their uni
ferns in the classroom, which give
them increased authority over their
pupils by reason of the immense pres
tige the French uniform enjoys in AL
SAGE. The voluntary discipline in
spired by respect for that uniform has
entirely displaced the old rigid Teu-
tonic iron-clad discipline.
The little Alsatians are working
particularly hard to master the French
pronunciation of consonants, for
none of them want to pass for Ger
mans after the war, on account OF
their accent.
