have sufficient width to permit good

The hats are part of the miracle,

LATIN IN GERMANY.
A Student who Did Not Find the
weeny, weedy, weekly System.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-ST: j
began the study Of Latin In New YORK
in the late sos. the pronunciation az
| fected in our school being somewhat
along the lines of the "Weeny. weedee.
| weekly" immortAlized by Mr.. Chamn.
Some time afterward l went abroad
and attended school In Berlin. When
my German tutor heard me read Latin
he looked at me rather In sorrow than
in anger and at last asked sadly:
DO people really talk like that IN
America ?"
On the strength of more than two
years schooling In Germany I can state
emphaticaliy that the quotations given
by m. H. g." -. d. B." and Mr.
Chaf'in bear no resemblance whatever
to Latin as taught In that country. The
''v" was not pronounced like the Ger
man "v." which, by the way. has the
sound Of our ~" nor was It pronounced
like our "w," but like the ~" In Eng
lish. French and Spanish. Similarly the
&C" was soft before re" and "f' and
hard before the other vowels, a usage
which conforms to that Of the Ian
guages mentioned The vowels had the
same value as they have In modern
Spanish, a speech closely allied TO
Latin. This seems rational enough to
satisfy any fair minded critic. The
only letter which was Germanised was
the g." which was pronounced like our
y" in zero. a detail Of which your cor
respondents make no mention. SO that
perhaps the Latin to which they take
exception lis not the German Latin
after all.
incidentally there must be something
very queer about children who are old
enough to study Latin and who speak

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sr: In
the matter Of the pronunciation OF the
Latin language some Of the eorre-
pronuncia tlons-as distinguished from
| the English pronunciat ion-with the so
called Romantic pronunciation.
The last named is an attempt to re-
construct and restore the pronunciation

"waynee.weedee- weekee' system. II
gives GermaI' values to the pronuncia-
ton Of several letters-notably to that

The Latin OF the earlier periods diff
| fers from that of the classical period
to about the same degree that the Eng
lish Of Spenser differs from that of
Dickens. Thus. a part OF an inscription
in the Latin of the early period reads:

In the Aldo bush Is a herd Of
South African elephants. They are
a variety distinct, but little different,
from the Central African. These of
the Algao and those in the Knysa for

LINGER had served two terms in the
House, having been a member Of the
Forty ninth and Fiftieth Congresses.
Following the sound New England
custom, his State kept him in the Sen
ate, the Legislature rejecting him in
1897, 1903 and 1909, and the voters
returning him in 1914 for the term
that will expire March 8, 1921. He
was the oldest Senator in years and
In service when he died. and as Sen

some of the most interesting and i'm

DESERTER TELLS OF
GERMAN STARVATION

A dispatch to the Greek legation
said that a German aviator. graduate
OF Berlin University. who had deserted
and arrived in Greece. told of starva'
ton in Germany and the cruel treat,
mcnt of the Greek population in Mace
donia and Thrace occupied by the
Bulgars.
Questioned by the Greek authori-
ties" said the dispatch, the aviator
said that daily great number of
deaths occur in Germany due to star
walton. Coffee and fats are scarce.
Coffee and bread are substituted by
acorns.
The morale OF the German army is
low because OF insufficient refurnish-
ment due to the prolongation of the
war. Mutinies and threats TO the OF
fcers occur daily.
This aviator before deserving. visit
ed the towns of Xanthi, Drama, Pravi
and Cavala and said that the most
appalling tragedy that mankind has
ever experienced is taking place in
Macedonia and Trace occupied by the
Bulgars.
Greeks from the age OF Il to AZ
by tens of thousands have been taken
by force into the Bulgarian army.
The Bulgarian government having de.
cided to cXterminatc the Greek pop
ulation by starvation. does not bother
to feed them. The pound of bread is
sold at two dollars and a half. The
aviator himself gave S25 at Drama to
