Colonel Roosevelt is still prating that had
America been prepared at its entry into the
war it would have been over in ninety days.
Maybe SO, maybe so, but America was not

now prepared, and every day is bringing the
victorious finish that much nearer. This coun-

=. 7. NJ. Danvillc.-There Is no law

have barred the study OF German from

incorporated towns. Such a ban proba-
bly, would not stand in any court or
