TOOMANY TONGUES
Language of the United States Is
Urged for All.
SUGGESTION Is Offered That All of the
Earth's People Learn to
Speak English.


The next thing that must be done In
the way of world efficiency is to get
rid Of a lot Of languages that are float
ing around to the restraint of trade.
It will be the most difficult feat Of
all, but it must be done, just the same.
This thing of every bunch Of people
across a river or over a mountain
speaking a different language from
their near neighbors is the biggest
handicap the world has to contend
with today, asserts writer In the Los
Angeles Times Magazine.
Moreover this surplus Of languages
is the one thing. above all others, that
has caused misunderstanding, wars,
strategies, spoils, hell-raising, and
hatreds generally.
The biggest bar against the friendly
relations of one people with another
has been the difference in their mode
of human speech. 1t started with the
building of the Tower of Babel when
the Lord confused the people on pur-
pose because of their WickednesS, and
he took the best way possible to ac-
complish the result of the divine will.
But, now that Gods people have been
making fairly good stab at getting
right with him again-all of us, and
our fathers before us for centuries-it
is reasonable to suppose that God will
let us ditch that Tower of Babel stuff
if we make a real good honest try at it.
America itself-the melting pot Of
nations-is a striking proof that the
thing can be done. Here have they
come from every land and all the seven
seas, the children of all races, speak
ing every tongue known to man, and
before they know it they are all speak
ing good United States.
Then, why not start a serious move
ment to get the whole world, here and
elsewhere, speaking United States-or
English, if that's a better way to say
it?
It won't be easy, but it certainly can
be done. And when it is done, this will
be a happier, more peaceful, and
more prosperous earth on which to
live.
We recommend English-that is to
say, the way we speak it here in Amer
ica-as the universal language, because
it is, without doubt, the best language
of all, if only for the reason that it is
made up of almost all the others.
In French, Russian, German, Span
ish, Italian, and all foreign tongues it
usually requires II words or more to
say what we say in one. The Welsh,
for instance, have word with 10 let
tiers in it that we can put in four let
tiers. These other folks fog up their
larynges and wear out their nasal pas
sages saying things what we say better
with a mere breath and a touch of the
tongue against the teeth.
Unless you were born to it, or unless
they caught you very young, you might
as well try to learn to be a circus
tumbler as to learn French or German
and earn a living in the bargain. The
thing will take up all your time while
the potatoes go to pot and the cobwebs
grow across the store door. And, in
the end, you will find that you haven't
learned these lines of talk, anyway.
The thing to do is to make yourself
as nearly a master of English as pos
sible, and then force the other fellows
to speak our language for their own
good.

Committee. l trust you viii serve
and give Mr.. Darst and the Army
your assistance. know it Is said
the Red Cross and the Y. M. G. A
are doing the same work, but do you
think they can do too much Of it?
The Salvation Army does a work in
peace-times no other organization
can do, and the same is true in time
OF war.
Here are some of the phases OF
the Salvation Army's War Work;
"One hundred and ffty-fve re
freshment recreation huts have been
erected in the military camps in
Great Britain, France and other
countries, at the cost Of s350,0O0.
"Seventy-seven hotels and naval
and military homes with 1000 beds,
costing over 100000, are in opera
ton; extensions amounting to $780,
900 are in progress.
eThirty-five motor ambulance cars
lave been supplied for the war zones
ir France, Russia and Egypt at an
expense of $4,000.
Give hundred thousand soldiers
and sailors are cared for weekly in
various institutions.
"Forty-one thousand food parcels
and articles of clothing have been
dispatched to prisoners Of war and
our soldiers and sailors.
Thirty thousand relatives Of serv-
ice men entertained at teas and So
cial gatherings
about 100000 attend the meet
ings weekly, and many thousands
have been won for Christ.
"Thirty-six chaplains.
Thirty thousand Salvationists in
the trenches.
Twelve ambulances given by the
United States of America.
Seven cabins in United States
camps in France.
Shall this work fail for lack of fu-
ture support? The answer is with US.
Mr.. Darst will communicate with
you and trust you will respond in
your usual patriotic way.
Very truly yours,
John W. Cornwell."

SHAKES HIS FIST AT COUNSEL
BEFORE STATE PARDON BOARD
Philadelphia Man Threatened With Ejectment When He
Attacks District Attorney Opposing Pardon

Samuel S. Blau, of Philadelphia,
a brother of Adolph Blau, Scran-
ton private banker, now serving a
sentence for embezzlement following
the closing of his establishment by
the state some years ago, was threat
ened with ejectment from the hear
ing of the State Board of Pardons
to-day for an outbreak made by him
against District Attorney c.. w.
Maxey, of Lackawanna county.
Blau's third application for pardon
was being heard and Mr. MaXey was
replying to some references made to
the case and some history of the last
District Attorneyship campaign in
Lackawanna made by j. b. Walker,
of Philadelphia, who was Blau's
counsel. when he referred to efforts
to have him abate his zeal. He
charged that he had put S. s. Blau
out of his office for having gone too
far.
Blau rose and gnashing his teeth
shook his fist at the District Attor-
ney.
DccoIum of a Court
Members of the Board, which has
all the decorum of "a court, looked in
at Blau.
II can't stand for them lies" he
and an instant later darted
across the room calling out to Mr..
Maxey, you dirty brute, you"
Mr.. Walker interposed just as the

excited man was reaching the coun-
sci table and told him to sit down.
You will take your seat or be re-
owed from the ROOM declared
Lieutenant Governor McClain, chair
man of the Board.
The outbreak was the first of the
kind ever known before the Board.
In the course of his protest against
the application for pardon, Mr..
MaXey charged systematic looting of
the bank and denied the assertion
that Blau had not run away.
Liquor Cause of Crime
Application for communication of
death sentences of two men con-
victed of murder was made at the
meeting of the State Board of Par
dons to-day in both of which it was
contended that there had been over
drinking. For lila Obric, Lebanon,
who shot his paramour, it was con-
tended that he had been too drunk
to realize his crime, while counsel
for w. NJ. Dennery, alias Big Swede,
Clearfield, asserted that no one con-
nected with a murder at a cabin in
the woods, was sober enough to tell
what had happened and if Dennery
was the guilty man. Two men We're
convicted of second degree murder
in the case and Dennery was con-
victed of first degree three months
later after having been arrested on
the lakes.
