CHAPTER xiv.
Ethel Makes an Impression.

Those German infantrymen were a
notwithstanding company to descend
upon a peace-loving innkeeper such as
Henri Christophe. 1t was, indeed, no
wonder that he viewed them with ap-
prehension, as they stood there at pa
rade rest and stared stolidly into his
startled face. 1t seemed to him that
wherever he looked he met the deter
mined, impersonal, almost inhuman
blue eyes Of one Of those businesslike
Germans. And there was something
sinister in the very way they crowded
his hostelry. Henri Christophe could
not help feeling that even so they
would crowd every house in Belgium.
TO him they seemed like locusts sent
by a displeased God to swarm OVER
the land until it should be filled to
overlooking. And always, he
told himself, there would be count
less throngs to fill the slightest gap in
their grim ranks.
While Christophe viewed them with
mingled alarm and amazement, a tele-
phone sergeant joined those gray
ghosts from beyond the Rhine. He
carried a gun slung over his back and
a field telephone in his hands. Placing
the instrument on one of Christophe's
tables, he proceeded to run a wire
through the doorway to the street.
"The major is comingw he an
nounced to his friend the corporal, who
at once commanded his men to present
arms. So they stood, posed like stat
ues, when Major Won Brenig entered,
saluted the flag, and then cast a quick
glance of satisfaction about the room.
Just before him another figure had
slipped inside the door, and returned
the salute Of the corporal; and now he
stood impassively looking on, much as
if the proceeding were merely an ev-
eryday occurrence with him. But
however unconcerned he appeared, he
was far from disinterested. However
much he appeared at ease in his uni
form of German captain, he felt any
thing but at home in it. There was, in
truth, no uniform that suited Larry
Redmond so well as that Of his own
Irish Guards.
''This is good" Major Won Brenig
told his corporal. And it was evident
that Lieutenant Baum and Sergeant
Schmidt, who had arrived simultane-

heartily. Can we not spend the
night here" the major asked.
Then he proceeded to avail him

the general staff had long ago devised
for just such an emergency.

At that the innkeeper himself

SPEAKING ENGLISH
BY N. A. YOUNG. (co. supt. of Schools

Generally speaking, it is safe to
say that the majority of the foreign
born in this country wish to learn
to speak the English language, al
though some of them do not. Many
who desire speaking knowledge OF
the language have not put forth the
effort to gain that knowledge which
they should have put forth, largely
due to the fact that there has been
insufficient incentive to cause them
to do so. In the past, no emphasis
has been placed on the Importance
which ought to be attached to this
phase of preparation for citizen
ship. We not only have not at
tached the Importance to this sub
ject for a preparation for citizen
ship, but we haven't given sufficient
attention to the importance of the
speaking of English as convenience
in our everyday social and business
life. The Provost Marshall General
has found serious stumbling block
in connection with the selective
draft, because a number of those
who were called upon to serve in
the Army were unable to speak and
understand the English language.
1t is readily understandable that
English speaking officers would find
considerable difficulty in directing
the training of men who were un-
able to understand the language in
which the orders were given. In or
der to relieve the difficulty, a hurry
up scheme of education was being
arranged just prior to the signing
of the armistice whereby these Sc
lectives could be taught a few of
the necessary words which would
enable them to understand the" or
ders given by their officers. The
difficulty thus encountered, of course,
was such as to call attention sharply
to this shortening on the part of
our foreign speaking people. But
while the circumstances were such
as~to make this shortcoming de-
cidedly noticeable in the Army,
there is much reason to believe that
the difficulties arising in connection
with the foreign speaking class are
just as great in private life, although
not in way which would be so
likely to attract the attention of
public officers high in authority.
Now that the war is coming to close
are we to lose sight of this lesson,
or are we to awaken and keep the
of the public conferred on
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-12-06

this vital shortcoming on the part of
those who are coming here from
foreign lands to make this country
their home?
There is a type of business man
who, although with perhaps the
best motives, has been doing a thing
for many years past which, without
doubt, ought to be discouraged and
discontinued. A father of a boy
was telling us not long ago that his
SON was seriously handicapped in
this part of the State of Minnesota,
because he could speak but one
language-English-for this par
ticular kind of business man quite
often, in advertising for help, says,
eve want a good, clean young man
to work in our store-one speaking
English and one or another of the
other languages preferred" Now,
it looks to the casual observer as
though the business man who adver-
tises for help of that kind is not
only giving the person who speaks
foreign language the advantage
but he is encouraging the foreign
speaking to stick to the old Ian
guage. 1t may be readily understood
that, in not providing business houses
with Interpreters, considerable diff
Guilty will be encountered for the
time being in doing business with
the foreign speaking; but just so
long as business men cater to that
kind of practice, we, no boubt, may
expect the foreign speaking to take
less than the proper amount of in
crest in learning to speak English.
It is questionable if this practice is
based on sound American principles,
and, no doubt, it ought to be dis
couraged and, as soon as possible,
discontinued.
"As has been indicated, the great
drawback in securing the interest
of foreign speaking in learning the
English language is a lack of in
centive. The machinery for teaching
people to speak English can be, and
is being arranged satisfactorily,
but in too many instances, it is a
case of leading the horse to the
trough without the ability to make
him drink. 1t is known fact that,
in the majority of instances, the
foreign speaking father can make
himself understood through the use
of the English which he knows. The
children going to school, learn to
speak English, and they have no
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-12-06

difficulty; although many of them
grow up to speak the language with
strong flavor Of the language Of
the old country. AS a rule, the
mothers are the greatest stumbling
block which we encounter in. con-
nection with this vexatious prob
lem. She, as rule, speaks. the
language of the country in which
she was born and raised. Through
long usage, of course she loves that
language, and she is putting forth
no effort to acquire knowledge of
English, because in meeting with men
of other languages, he is obliged to
do it. The children learn English
because that is the language in the
schools. When the father and the
children go home, knowing, as they
do, that the mother of the family
prefers the old language, they carry
on their home conversations, many
times, in some language other than
English. When the mother goes to
call on her friends, she almost in
variably goes to the home where
they speak the language which she
understands, and she, therefore has
no incentive for learning English.
Yet, through her position in the
home, she Yields strong influence for
the foreign language. Something
must be done to encourage the
mother to speak English.

ELY GETS LIBERTY FLAG.

Chairman M. j. Murphy of the
Fourth Liberty Loan in this district
has received from the Ninth District
chairman the Liberty Loan Flag
awarded to this city for going over
the top in the sale Of bonds in the

bars and has in addition two stars
showing that the over-subscription
here amounted to 20 per cent and
over. This will be fine souvenir
to show the boys when they come
home and show that Ely stood solidly
behind them. We have made good
in all the Liberty Loans, Red Cross,
War Work and other drives. The
names of those who subscribed for
bonds and took part in the war
drives are on file. The names of those
who did not, and could, are also
matter of record. Were you with

STRAGGLING CASES.

The epidemic of influenza has run
it's course in this city according to
the report of Health Commissioners
DIR. Parker. A few struggling cases
are reported and Commissioner Par
ker is of the opinion that there will
be more or less all winter. Three
new cases have developed the past
week but are considered not very
serious. One death, that of Mrs.
Ruotsolainen last evening, is the
only fatality reported for the past
two weeks. Citizens are requested to
maintain all preventative measures
and take no extra chances. Call the
doctor at once if you feel sick.
