FIGHT AGAINST
GERMAN PAPERS
National Security League Starts
Crusade for Their Elimination,
Together With the Teach.

A vigorous campaign to bring about
the elimination of the teaching Of Ger

J. P. BARGER PASSES AWAY.

News has been received here Of
the death of Mr.. J. P. Barger which
occurred two weeks ago. Deceased
was a resident of Welsh and vicinity
for a period of twenty one years,
having moved here from Alton, Iowa.
He first settled on a farm, late
moving to town. He was a painter
by trade at which he employed most
of his time when not hindered by
i'll health. Many pretty homes in
Welsh testify to his careful pains
taking work.
About two years ago he sold his
home here and with his wife moved
to Hugh Springs, Texas, at which
place he resided until a few weeks
age when he became very i'll and
was removed to Danville, ILL.,, the
home of his son and at which place
he passed away. Surviving him are
his aged wife and one son.
Mr.. Barger has many friends here
who regret to learn of his death
His life covered a span of four score
years. He was member Of the NJ.
E. church, having given his heart TO
Jesus in early manhood. He lived an
honest and upright life, ever strlv-
ipg to do Gods will as he under
stood it. Many who knew him will
recall his words Of warning and adj
n.onltion to prepare to meet God.
When paler grows the cheek, the
voice more weary,
Ard smiles no longer shine,
When dulls the eye that sparkted
once so merry,
Then speaks the voice divine;
81 an the resurre, tion and the life. y
Deaths chilling kiss has touched Tire
strunken brow
The telling heart is st!E;
Arc Taught in lie remains bit mem.
or! now,
And those great words TINT thrill:
81 ar, the resurrection and the life.
While the poor dust is unto dust
returning,
And loud the dull clods fall,
One promise soothes the solu's deep,
anguished yearning,
That clear, immortal call;
81 am the resurrection and the life. "

True Patriotism

He didn't have to go did Oren
Edwards. but he went, just the
same. He is nearly 33 years Of
age. nearly two years over the
draft ape, but his patriotism
prompted, the Americanism in
him urged him on, and he was
thrilled with the heroic deeds Of
his brothers, who are lover
there" fighting that the world
may be made safe for Democracy.
And so he went. Some three
weeks ago he left, but remarked !:
"Don't say anything about it un-
ill | have been accepted. ] am
going to volunteer and if ] am
accepted, then you can say what
you please. am giong in for
no particular place. Just going

American spirit.
No young man, perhaps, in all
the Midland Country had more
to keep him at home, from a
material point of view, than
Oren Edwards, and he might
have claimed exemption for q
number Of reasons. He has
splendid ranch interests and is
independently wealthy, and the
future for him was rose.hued,
cloudless.

Hylan Of New York in an mterview
with The Tribune correspondent to-
day said that New York City was not
seeking the services of John II. Fin
ley State Commissioner Of Education,
TO head the city's school system.
There is 70 need of going outside
the city for man to head the school
system Mayor Hylan said "Dr. Fin
ley would no doubt make an excellent
superintendent, but | believe that we
should use home talent when it is
available. This is more than a thought.
1t is q principle. We have men in the
city's school system at present who
could readily take over the responsi-
bilities of the office of superintendent.
One Of them shall be chosen.

where was the reply.
DR.. Finley is in Auburn to-day. His
friends say that rc has neither sought

that the use of Dr.. Finley's name is a
bit of camouhage used by the friends
Of DR.. william l.. Ettingcr, of Manhat-
tan. an associate superintendent Of
schools and candidate for the Office.
"The reports reaching here said a
prominent educator, are that Arthur
Somers, president of the Board of
Education. has threatened to resign if
DR.. Ettinger is named. The friends of
Dr.. Ettinger are putting forth the
story that DR. Finley has been asked in
order to placate President Somers. The
fact is that he has not been asked"

Choir Of St. John the Divine
Heard at Carnegie
Hall

The choir of the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine, assisted by members
of the New York Symphony Orchestra,
gave Il performance Of Dvorak's Re-
quiem last night at Carnegie Hall The
audience was large
The solo artists were Miss Inez Bar
bour, Mrs. Benedict Jones, William
Wheeler and Wilfrcd Glenn The per
formance was under the direction of
Miles Farrow.
The Flonzaley Quartet gave its third
subscription concert last evening at
Aeolian Hall. The Debussy quartet,
Op. 10, which opened the programme.
was played with that smoothness of
tone for (which "the Flonzaleys" are
famous and without which this work
would lose most of its charm.
Far fresher though more than a
century and quarter old. was the
ever lovely Mozart quartet in D major.
which sparkled and shone though not
quite enough, it must be admitted. in
the minuet. The programme closed
with Dvorak's quartet in F, Op. 96.
The audience filled. the hall. In
Chicago the reviewers complain that
quartet recitals arouse little interest.
New York is fortunate in having lived
through its educative phase in this
type of music and in being at liberty
now simply to enjoy
