GERMAN INTRIGUE
DECLARES OBREGON

Chicago. Oct 10.-The scheme Of
German Foreign Secretary thinner
man to involve Japan and Mexico in
an alliance with Germany against the
United States was regarded in Mexi-
co as "only a German intrigue to stir
up troubles"
That was the declaration today OF
General Alvaro Obregon, former Mex
lean minister of war, who was here
today en- route to Washington.
Il have met Won Eckhardt. the Ger
man charge, who was the go-be-
tween in the affair" said Obregon.
He impressed me as a gentleman
but never approached me regarding
intrigue. lie was never intimate with
General Carranza."
BURN WORTHLESS PAPER.
Obregon said the Mexican govern
ment had retired practically all the
worthless paper currency and in the
last few months had burned s500.000,
900 worth of it. He denied he was
to negotiate a loan for Mexico.
Obregon and his party planned to
visit the officers training camp at
Fort Sheridan today.

MR.. HARDWICK is PEEYED.

Mr. Hardwick is peeved because in
vitations for him to speak in Georgia
were cancelled, and he is not coming
back to his own state during the in
term before Congress re-convenes.
We Inspect that Mr. Hardwick will
be even more peeved this time next
year.
Then he will either be practising law
in Sandersville or drawing a salary
from the Hearst papers. We certain
" think that the Hearst papers, think
ing as highly Of him as they do, ought
to put him on the payroll. At any
rate, he will not be drawing a salary
from the government whose policies he
is now trying to obstruct, nor will he

Senator Hardwick is said to be
"smarting under the action of the peo-
pie at home" Well, it is his time to
smart. The people at home have
smarted under his actions in Wash
ington. Turn about is fair play. Let
it be hoped that he will smart enough
to cause him to cause him to resign
from the senate If he sticks to his
job and to the plan of action he has
followed thus far he is likely to find
that his presenting smarting is mild
indeed beside the unpleasantness that
will follow him until at the next cleo
ton the people will put him out of
the senate. The vote should be so
one-sidedly AGAINST him that even he
would realize that Georgia is not the
unpatriotic, selfish, ignorant collec-
ton of people he seems to have
thought it, but is and has been an
intelligent patriotic state of the Unit
ed States. 1t is difficult to under
stand how man who succeeded in
becoming a United States senator
from Georgia and who boasts of hav-
ing had long line of American an
cestors could so misunderstood the
people who so mistakenly honored
him. Maybe he thought that a peo-
pie who could make the mistake of
sending him to the senate could be
depended on to make the far bigger
mistake Of being unpatriotic in the

would have triumphed in an election;

before the mass of the people clearly
perceived the real reasons for the war.

"SEDITIOUS."

The most unpatriotic policy of the
Hearst syndicate of newspapers is
their persistent propaganda for
leace-a premature peace, as they
well know, but one that would be sat
isfactory and consoling to Germany
Mr. Hearst has been striving, ever
since the war began, to gain eminence
as a peace advocate, he who has ever
been so belligerent and whose rabid
outbreak of yellow journalism was one
of the disgraceful episodes of he
Spanish war.
In Washington yesterday there was
a conference Of large number of dis
tinguished men of the nation, held for
TIE purpose of organizing a league to
disseminate actual truths about the
war and our relation to it. This con-
ference had the personal approval of
President Wilson, who in an address
declared that talk of peace now was
unwise and unpatriotic In line with
his views, and striking directly at the
Hearst papers, is this expression from
the statement subsequently issued by
the conference:
In this crisis the unity of the
American people must not be i'm
paired by the voices of discussion
or sedition
Agitation for premature
peace is seditious when it's object
is to weaken the determination of
America to see the war through
to a conclusive vindication of the
principles for which we have
taken up arms,
THE war We are waging is
war against war and its sacri-
fees must not be nulliied by any
truce or armistice that means no
more than a breathing spell for
the enemy"
Agitation for a premature peace is
seditious7 the Hearst papers
have been scattering sedition broad
cast through the land. Even in the
Atlanta Georgian's editorial endorse
ment of Hardwick the conspicuous
note was the discordant peace sug-
| gestion. 1t was not necessary for the
owner of the Hearst papers to be an
intimate dinner guest of a German
spy-his newspaper policies had al
ready stamped him as lacking in the
higher instincts of loyalty and ma
tional pride.
As Golfers Weekly so well said,
I'VE have observed that it is the
Hearst papers who prove their loyalty
by printing little rows of flags at the
head of their editoriai columns"

THE QUICK OR THE DEAD.

Our relations with France in this
war, and the presence of so many
young Americans on French soil, min
Cling with a people whose tongue they
must perforce absorb or acquire to
some extent, have promoted greater
interest in the study of the French
language.
Spanish has long since become
language of utility in this country, be-
cause of our more neighborly attitude
toward Mexico, and the necessity of
knowing Spanish for the conduct of
our business affairs with the Latin
American countries.
In consequence, boards Of education
throughout both North and South are
proposing to substitute these more
modern languages for the decadent
Greek and Latin in the curriculums of
the schools.
1t is really problem to understand
why Greek and Latin should be neces-
sarily included in the curriculums of
the schools of the present day. One
may surely acquire a classical educa-
ton without years Of effort in studying
the languages of old Greece and
Rome
So long ago as 1895, the clear-sighted
Thomas Paine, in his Age of Reason.
said; "As there is now nothing new to
be learned from the dead languages
all the useful books being already
translated the languages are becom-
ing useless, and the time expended in
teaching and learning them is wasted
A youth will learn more of living
language in one year than of dead
language in seven"
Thomas Henry Huxley and other
more recent scholars, have urged the
abandonment of Greek and Latin in
favor of living languages.
1t is all rot that the classic writings
of Homer and Caesar and Virgil are
better appreciated if read in the orig
inal. That may apply to bulbous-brow-
ed linguists with an exactness for nice
ties but it certainly does not cover the
general student. "Arma virumque
cano,' begins the "Eneid," and Arms,
and the man I sing" translates Dryden.
Which is better and more easily appre-
ciated by the young student to whom
English is the mother tongue?
Even Milton, in his "Tractate on Ed
ucation," wherein he advocates the
study of Greek, Latin, Syrian and
Chaldean, in addition to English and
possibly Italian, declares that the Ian
guages are but the means of an end. .
and should be learned solely in order
that the great literary works in each,
then untranslated, might be explored.
Now that these works, as well as the
writings of nearly all ages and nations,
are obtainable in English, there re-
mains no justification for the perpet-
uation of dead" languages.
French is happy medium almost
the world over. It is spoken generally
in Russia and in Greece, and until the
outbreak of the war it was taught in
! all Of the German schools. The war
has had the effect Of more widely in
/ creasing the common use Of English,
which more closely approaches a uni
yersal speech than any other but it also
is true it is going to be incumbent upon
| US to know more French and more
/ Spanish. And the place to begin is in
the schools.
