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

A vigorous campaign to bring about
the elimination of the teaching of Ger
man in the public schools of the coun-
try and to obtain the discontinuance
of the publication of newspapers print
ed in German has been launched by
the National Security League. TO or
ganize it's effort for these ends the
League has formed a Committee on
Foreign Language and Foreign Press,
which will carry the fight into every
nook and corner of the United States.
The Committee is composed of Col.
Charles e. Lydecker, member of the
Board of Trustees of the College of
the City of New York and Chairman
of the National Security Leagues
Board of Directors; Edward FL. Clark,
Treasurer of the Security League !;
Ernest G. Brown, well known New
York editor and publisher, and Dr.
Robert NJ McElroy, Educational direc-
tor of the National Security League
under leave of absence from Princeton
University, where he is head of the
Department Of History and Politics.
Stop Advertising.
The principal basis of the Commit
tees campaign against German news
papers will be the obtaining of the dis
continuance of advertising in them.

Parcel Post by Motor.

One Of the biggest steps yet taken in
the introduction of motor trucks as a
city-to-city carrier results from the de-
cision of the pOstoffice department to
establish numerous parcel post motor
truck routes. These have already
been surveyed and aggregated between
1900 and 1000 miles in length, with
shorter routes. One chain of routes
extends from Portland, Me-, to New
Orleans, and another through the mid
die western states, while still others
connect principal cities on the Pacific
coast. 1t is hoped that the operation
of these routes and of others to be es-
tablished will materially aid in the dis
tribution and in the lowering OF the
cost of food products.

STEEL TANK EXPLODED
WHEN LIT BY CHILDREN
Three Small Boys Playing at Smoking
Cause Fearful Tragedy at
HOlcOmbe

Holcombe, Wis, July 13-Etienne
Loisselle aged II; was killed, and
Philip Gygi was seriously wounded
here at o'clock last night by the ex-
plosion of a gasoline barrel i'm the
street near the Edminster store. The
two boys together with Otto Birch
were smoking ''SmOkewOod' and blow
ing smoke into the barrel, when one of
them put the lighted smokewood into
an opening in the top of the barrel
igniting the fumes and causing the ex-
plosiOn.
The explosion was heard for miles
around Etienne LOisselle was terribly
mangled by the force of the explosion.
He lived for about 10 minutes, though
he was unconscious all of that time.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
William Loisselle of Holcombe. Philip
Gygi's injuries may not prove fatal.
He may lose the sight of one eye and
will be disfigured for life. The top of
the gasoline barrel struck him in the
face, cutting deep gashes above and
below the left eye, splitting the flesh
on his nose from the bridge to the lip
and leaving deep cash below the chin.
His left hand and wrist were bruised
and he complained of pain in his chest.
He was conscious at the hospital.
Dr. c.. w. ROdecker rendered first
aid to the boys. DR.. f. J. Jones Of
Cornell was summoned and drove the
boys in his car to Chippewa. He was
accompanied by his daughter, Belle,
and Armand Gygi, the boys father.
Otto Birch, the third boy in the party
was not injured.
The gasoline barrel is said to have
been left at the side of the street by
well-drillers, but it was generally be-
lieved that the barrel was empty. The
lads had just taken the cows to the
pasture and were on their way home

Agnan, Hill 1923 to the northwest and
La Chapelle- Montbodon have been re-
captured by the American and French
forces fighting together.
In cooperation with the French, the
Americans launched heavy counter
attack between these two villages,
driving the enemy steadily back.
French Make Rapid Progress.
On the American right the French
made rapid progress and all through
the section the Germans were fiercely
attacked by the Allies, with the result
that they have withdrawn for consid-
cradle distance.
Comparatively large forces of Amer
leans have been engaged, especially in
the region of Descrivec, where they
were brought up to support the attack
ing French Within short period the
Americans were holly engaged in the
fighting.
West of Chateau Thierry, between
Vaux and Hill 204 the enemy launched
a small local attack against the Amer
lean forces, but was speedily beaten
off with losses.
This operation subsidized quickly and
the enemy contented himself for the
remainder of the day with the laying
down of the heaviest commandments
over the positions, which availed him
nothing.

Turkey in Armenian massacres, and
the officers of the Imperial German
Government" have aided and abetted
these massacres now because the Ar

Germans themselves testify.
"secret Enemy"
In 1908, when the revolutionary
Turkish government was for freedom,
Germany opposed it; wAen it became
tyrannical Germany made this govern
ment it's ally. The German govern"
ment harassed France not merely be-
cause 1t was it's ancient enemy, but
because it's success as republic made
the French people perilous to princes.
The German government plotted to re-
store the Manchu Emperor and the
Russian Car to their thrones.
Because the American people by Its
prosperity and power made liberty
desired by all the world the German
government has been its secret enemy.
Thirty years ago it plotted against our
treaty rights in Samoa; 1t sent its
fleet to worry and threaten Dewey
at Manila in 1898; it offered to Eng
land, which refused, to overturn the
Monroe Doctrine in Mexico. It has in
fifteen years threatened Venezuela,
Mexico, Hayti and other American
states. When we were maintaining
peace under great prOvOcatiOn, 1t pro-
posed to Mexico and Japan to attack
us, both refusing. It betrayed inter-
national faith in the dispatches sent
through the Swedish Minister. It filled
our land with spies, sought unavailing-
ly to embroil us with those Of German

the following plan Of campaign before
the Chairmen and Secretaries Of all
the 2S1 branches of the Security
League:
There is no immediate need to
have laws enacted to suppress the
foreign language dailies. In towns
where there is a strong patriotic senti-
ment hostile minority should be per-
suaded by clear and forcefu express
sion of the views of the majority that
ours must be, from this time forward,
a one language nation.
"see Our Mistake"
IF community will not support a
newsdealer who handles the daily pa
pers printed in foreign tongues it can
thereby force him to deal only in Eng
fish language papers.
Recognizing a general willingness
to be patriotic and the rapid acQu-
essence from many quarters to compel
the use Of English dailies, we urge
reasonably active measures on the part
of the branches Of the League. JUS
tice requires this, for the fault does
not lie wholly with the alien. We have
failed hitherto to provide the machin-
cry of education which the welding
process required. We have counte-
nanced and even encouraged the idea
of preserving linguistic and racial
groups in our midst. AT last we see
our mistake, and we must correct it as
speedily as justice will allow.
But we must not forget, and we
must not allow alien enemies to for
get, that this is a time of war. Quick
processes of producing unity are justi-
fled by the peril of those institutions
which we hold in trust for all human
ity.
NeWsdealers.
I'VE therefore suggest:
"(a) Meetings of citizens to express
a one language sentiment.
sob Discontinuance of all advertis-
ing in papers printed in the tongues of
enemy nations.
"(c) Procuring cooperation of news
Dealers"

Germany somewhere in France" rath-
err than In New York harbor; on the
Somme, rather than on the Hudson.
In one or the other we should have
had to fight. In 1776 we sent our sons
to fight for American liberty, and we
won 1t. In 1912 we fought for the
freedom of the sea, and we won that.
In 1861 we sent our sons to fight for
the liberty of the slave, and we won
that. Today we send our sons out to
fight for the liberty of humanity, and
we shall win that.

duty he responded. First of all he
sold his property, then contributed
$4,000 to the Red Cross. He followed
with a $1,000 contribution toward
building a church and then bought
81 900 worth of Liberty bonds. Not
content with all this, Hansen enlisted

London, July 18.-The German
offensive east and west of Rheims
has had the brakes vigorously
applied to it by the strong resist
ance of the American, French and
italian armies.
Nowhere has the enemy found
it possible to press forward, and
tear his way through opposing po-
sitions to points of vantage chosen
as early detectives.
True, some gains have been
made by the Germans, but they
are infinitesimaI when compared
with those of other attacks. In

Between Chevy sur Marine and

Launch New Attacks.
Furiously launching new attacks
against the Allied positions on the
Marine front from Chateau Thierry to
Rheims, the Germans are continuing
their efforts to break through the
French and American defense. They
made progress, but it was decidedly
slow in comparison with the sweep
of the Teutonic legions in their at
tacks in Picardy, Flanders and along
the Aisne
1t appears that the enemy, after
crossing the Marine between Dormans
and Chatillon, has reached in this area
the villages of st. Agnan, La Chapelle
and Monthedon, which are approx
mately a mile and three-quarters south
of the river, but in the outskirts Of
these towns they have been held up.
Just to the northeast the Germans
managed to traverse the Bouquigny
wood, but on the southwark side they
have been stopped.
Americans Hold Fast.
West of Dormans, which Is "a miles

troops are holding the battleline. I'm
official advices state that in this area
they have retaken the villages of Eos

where the Germans gained ground in
the first rush across the river.
From the French official report 1t is
evident that between DOrmans and
Rheims the Germans are driving to-
ward the Marine at Chatillon and along
the line to the northeast. Only at
one point, In the Rodemat wood, a
mile and a half from Chatillon, did
they advance. Even there they have
been checked by the French fire.
From that point east there Is no
change in the situation along the en-.

right road to health, and 1 only re-
greet not getting hold of this wonder

Bennett, of 900 Pennsylvania avenue,
Kansas City, the other day.
1.-TWO years ago." she continued,
my health began to fail and ever
since then 1 suffered agonies from
stomach trouble and inflammatory
rheumatism. My tongue was badly
coated and 1 would have awful sick
spells with my stomach and would be-
come so dizzy that 1 could hardly get
around the house. My food did me
no good and 1 went down in weight
from hundred and eighty pounds till
1 weighed only a hundred and twenty
five, and was but a shadow of my for
mer self. The muscles of my neck
and, shoulders were so swollen with
rheumatism, and felt so stiff and sore,
that 1 could hardly turn my head
from side to side. Often 1 would feel
the pain going up into my head and
hardly stand it. This dull, aching pain
in my neck and shoulders would new
er let up and worried me so much at
night that could hardly sleep. Dur
ing the day 1 felt so dull and drowsy
that 1 could hardly keep my eyes
open.
II was in such miserable condition
that when my daughter heard Tanlac
spoken of SO highly she went down to
the drug store and got me a bottle.
After taking it 1 felt so much better
that L got a second, and altho 1 have
taken only two bottles SO far Tam al
most free of that terrible rheumatism
and 1T seems to be leaving me right
along. That dizzy feeling is entirely
gone, my stomach has been toned up
and my food is nourishing me like it
should. Il sleep like a child at night,
and feel SO much better in every way
that 1 am certain a few more bottles
of Tanlac will straighten me out and
make me perfectly well woman once
more"
