which, almost unheard in modern times, have been
the centers around which some of the most thrill
ing and impressive human history has been writ
ten. We have watched the march Of the western
armies up the valley of the Jordan, along which
so much of vital drama has been enacted; the cap
ture of Jericho, whose walls once fell before the
blast Of Joshua's trumpets; of Jerusalem which
reached the pinnacle Of its glory under King SOL
ONION; the occupation by Christian hosts of Beth
lehem the birthplace of the founder of their faith
And now these armies approach the little town OF
nazareth, for many years the home of the holy
family the sea Of Galilee. along whose shores fish
ermen dry their nets just as they did when impet-
uous Peter declared 81 go a-fishing."
And we know that in Acre these western forces
have reached city hoary with age, and which has
figured in many great event. Acre, under
slightly different name, was great city when the
Israelites in the days Of the judges completed
their occupation of Canaan, and it was one Of the
few Canaanitish cities which did not pass under
the rule of Israel. In the comparatively modern
period of the crusades Acre was thriving seaport
and of such military Importance that the crusad-
ers used their best effort to capture it and the
MOslems their supreme energy to defend 1t. Dur
ing the early crusades it changed hands several
times. 1t was during the third crusade that Rich
ard the Lion-hearted effected it's capture, and in
that connection an amusing story has been handed
down.
According to the story the walls Of Acre suffer-
led severely during the operations against it, and
the crusaders set themselves to the work of re-
pairing the damage with all speed. The three
main forces we're those Of the English under Rich
ard, the French under Philip Augustus, and the
Austrians under the Archduke Leopold. Leopold is
described as a big, burly man, lethargic in his
movements, and of surly disposition. Richard was
active and full of enthusiasm. Leopold did not be-
stir himself about the work Of repair as Richard
thought he should, and he undertook to stimulate
the lazy Austrian to activity by kicking him
soundly.
If one is seeking moral he can find it in the
history of Acre. A few years before the kicking
episode Acre had been besieged by the crusading
forces under Guy de Lusignan, king of Jerusalem.
spirited battle fought just to the east of the
city, and Saladins forces were worsted. King
Guys men took it for granted that all the fighting
was over, and, after the fashion of the day, which
still prevails among the modern Huns, proceeded
to the business of looting. Saladn, shrewd and re-
sourcefu collected force and fell upon the scat
tered crusaders and inflicted severe losses them
besides compelling them to abandon the town
which they had virtually captured. In spite of
that object lesson, and thousands of others with
which history teens, there are still people who
believe it to be sound policy to abandon fight be-
fore it is finished.-The Grand Forks Herald.

MOTHERS HAVE SPOKEN

If there is any human being more Interested IN
the mental, physical and moral welfare OF the
schoolchild than the mother we have yet to meet
that Individual
Fathers. brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, may
be concerned about the schooling Willie and Susie
get, but mother sends them off to school every
morning and every noon, and waits for them at the
home door twice every day. They come home
from school to tell mother what they studied and
how; what they learned and why; what teacher
said and dd-and all the little, but to them and
mother, most important details Of their day in
school.
Mother bears most of her children's school bur-
dens which may be borne by another. She lives
her young life over again with her children so they
so from First Reader to High School graduation
exercises And mother has pretty good idea OF
what her children shoul I'd learn so that they may
be useful men and women.
Mother does NOT want her children to study
the language of the HUN.
Several hundred delegates from War Mothers
organizations of % states recently met in national
convention. They met that they might bind them"
selves and their work together to aid their sons
cover there" in freeing humanity from the
clutches of the HUN. Also, they expressed their
concern about the future of this nation, their SOL
der sons and the possibility of future German
propaganda which, they fear, may be directed TO-
ward the rebuilding Of the German war machine
in Europe and elsewhere. .
It was because of their adherence of German
ism, of HUN 'kultur,' that the War Mothers of
America unanimously voted against teaching Ger
man in schools, elementary and high schools.
These mothers who have given their sons to
their country's cause do not want the children OF
America to study Germanism in any form or man.
ner. They want them American in name and fact.
They want to take no chances on their children
being brought up to regard German culture as de-
sirable They never want the day to come when
as their minds dwell upon the sacrifices their
brave sons made during the great war their grand
children will come from school talking the Ian
guage of the peoples who forced the war upon the
world and brutalized it by nameless beastly deeds
without number.
The War Mothers of America give their sons to
beat back the devastating fire Of Germanism
abroad They do not want to give their grand
children as sacrifices to the German desire to fas-
ten Germanism upon America through American
public schools.
p P. Claxton, u S. commissioner of education,
wants Germansm in American schools.
The War Mothers of America are opposed to
erman books, teachers, and classes in American
schools.
Upon which side are you, Claxtons or that of
the mothers who sent their sons to fight for their
country?
