STAMP 1T OUT, AND AT ONCE.

Prof. E. E. Sperry. instructor in
history at Syracuse University, testi-
fying before the senate judiciary com
mittee on German propaganda through
out the world. revealed among other
surprising conditions that schools in
which German language and German
ideals are taught have been used as an
especially strong weapon. German
schools have been established in coun-
tries from Scandinavia to the Cape of
Good Hope and from this country to
China. No fewer than 5,240 such
schools have been established. In the
United States there were, before the
war broke out, $40 Of these schools in
which the German language was used
in teaching all the classes in geography
arithmetic, etc, and in addition to this
it was the edict in some of our states
that all public educational institutions
from the university down to high schools
MUST teach German, while there was
no must" with reference to any other
language,
All this clearly shows that the object
was to maintain German nationality
and prestige in the United States.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been provided by the German govern
ment to German-American alliances
and other undercurrent organizations
to spend in accomplishing the feat.
Such a scheme Of undermining our
country has gone far enough, too far in
fact The states of this Union could
do no greater service to the country
than to stamp out the teaching of Ger
man in the public schools. and at once.

The food administration is between

the price of the coming wheat crop, or
if congress keeps agitating the subject,
the old crop will be held back. If the
price for the new crop is not raised
substitute grains may be planted in
such overwhelming quantity as to
create wheat famine. If the prices
of substitute grains are fixed relative
TO wheat the howl will be raised that
the farmer is being crushed. With

THE DIGNITY OF FARMING.

This war has done one thing it has
made farming one Of the most dignified
callings a man can engage in There
was a time when many looked upon the
cutvator Of the soil as mere hay
seed, " not worthy Of being considered
seriously in the economics Of the nation
but that day has passed Today every
body is appealing to the farmer to
come TO the rescue of the nation by
helping TO produce something to eat SO
that we can win the war. The day is
not far distant when the imam who
makes two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before will be looked
up to as one Of the princes of the land.

COST TO CRUSH THE KAISER
5oersianer, Financial Expert, Gives
Figures as Boost &C Liberty
Loan.
BY ROERSIANER.

Financial Editor, Chicago Examner.l
Not many years before Abraham
Lincoln became president Mr.. and Mrs.
Lincoln were fed and sheltered in the
Globe tavern, Springfield, Ill.,, at four
dollars a week In other terms they
each paid two dollars a week for room
and board at what then was one of
the best family hotels in the state capt.
tai. Incredibly cheap? To US today,
yes, but not to the Americans of the
SOS and COS The purchasing power
Of a dollar in those days was ire
mendous.
When the Civil war broke out the
wealth of the United States was ap-
praised at 170OO.000,00O Let us be
liberal and make it S20,000000 at
the end of that interneclne strife, the
total cost of which was $4000000,000
At that time the national debt was ST.
625,000000. Put in another way, the
country had spent in the Civil war one
fifth of her entire wealth.
What happened? Within eighteen
years the whole of the national debt
was paid Off extinguished by a COM
monwealth with only one-third of the
present population; with little or no
prestige as a world power; with all
her railways, half of her city real es-
tate and go per cent of her farms mort
gagged to European capitalists; with
bank resources of only $4,000,000,0O0
and with not a dollars worth of invest
ments abroad.
There are estimates that ere kaiser
ism shall be crushed our national OBJ
legation will stand at $4,000, 900.
That would mean about per cent Of
the wealth of the nation (Which is not
less than $3.50 000,000,0OO) or 4 per cent
less than the percentage in 1865.
America today Is the leading power,
the wealthiest country in the world. II
is creditor nation. It's railways, real
estate and farms are owned by her
own people and her bank resources to-
tai S49,3S9,00 100000.
After this, is it necessary to ask IL
a United States government bond is a
safe investment? There is nothing
safer in the world; nothing which
promises so rapid and so high an APP
probation once the war is ended.
These are the cold facts of the propo-
sition. There is another side: the love
of-country, the love-of-Liberty, the
great-humanity-caus side.

MONEY AS NEEOfUl AS
MEN. SAYS GOVERNOR
Wage Farmers, Business Men, Farmers
and Capitalists Are vitality Inter-
ested in Triumph Of Our Arms.
BY FRANK o. LOWDEN,
TGovernor Of Illinois,

This is q war to establish the right
Of people to govern themselves. 1t Is,
therefore, peoples war. But peo-
pie cannot govern itself successfully
unless IT is willing to finance war
waged upon it by military autocracy.
Democracy is doomed, unless it has the
vitality to put forth It's resources in
support of a war, in which its very
right TO exist is challenged
Our enemy frequently has said that
we, as a nation, care for money alone.
More than million of our young men
have given the lie TO this charge by Of
fering the supreme sacrifce-the sac
rifce of life itself-that their coun-
try might endure. Shall it now be
said of the other millions-the mil
lions who remain at home-that this
charge is true? VIII not our people at
home, for whose security and future
our soldiers have gone to the colors,
will not they loan their dollars to the
government in the support Of cause
for which these men gladly offer to
give their lives?
Remember, money is as needful as
men, If we are to prevail. Remember
that If we do prevail, these bonds will
be the best investment we shall have
made during the period of the war. If
we fail, even then they will be worth
more than our cattle and lands, our
factories and stores, or any other prop
erty we may own.
Our wage earners, business men and
capitalists are vitality interested in the
triumph of our arms. Let all sub
scribe in proportion to their means.
The number who shall partake of this
loan is as important as the total
amount subscribed. If our people gen.
orally are united in absorbing our Lib
erty bonds, it will prove to the world
that democracy knows what its liber-
ties are worth, and is willing to de-
fend them at any cost.

Transportation Extraordinary.

The statement of General March that on a recent
day $4,000 soldiers were landed in France and that
of the Is ships which conveyed them over, twelve
unloaded and ready to commence the return
journey within "a hours, is tribute to the excel
lence of the United States transportation plans.
Probably the largest of the transports used is the
vaterland, renamed the Leviathan; this vessel
was the most beloved of all the German ships-the
pride of their mercantile fleet She has been max
ing the trip across in about five days-a speed she
never attained under German seamanship. The
Leviathan was built to carry 5000 passengers, but
she is now conveying less than 1900 soldiers.
German engineers did their utmost to destroy the
machinery of all their interned vessels; in the
of the Vaterland-which is turbine steamer-they
sought to ruin her usefulness by filing the bushing
off the turbines. Her German captain remarked that
if the Americans ever ran that ship he would take
off his hat to them; he surely ere this have
needed new covering
Strange as it may appear, it is nevertheless true
that in spite of all the damage done the Germans
outwitted in that they overlooked one thing
the utmost Importance upon the wall of the engine
room was rack containing sample of every piece
of machinery used in the construction of its engines
When American electricians and mechanics had
the matter in hand they took down the rack and
sent it to Schenectady, New York to the General
Electric company works and here 1000 electricians
were put to work upon it, and the result of their
labor is apparent in the fact that the Levathan has
made upwards of twenty round trips and done them
in less time than ever before
Rumor has it that any submarine commander who
is successful in sinking the Vaterland will receive
very great honors, but thanks to the splendid con-
voy system, she has so far been immune from at
tack
