HEAR ENGLISH AT HOME.
Only Two Families In jamestown
Speak Foreign Tongue Exclusively.

Speak Forel9n Tongue Exclusively.
Jamestown, N. D., August 14.--Out
Of the 1857 children Of school ago
who make their homes here, there
are an almost negligible number who
do not receive some training in the
English tongue at home. So far as
the school census reveals the linz
guistic status of Young America, the
data gathered is most satisfactory,
for but two families were found
where foreign tongue was spoken
exclusively.
This condition is considered to
give a very hopeful outlook for the
post bellum period. for it will not
be necessary to teach foreign Ian
guages to aid studentsc in keeping
in close touch with their elders, when
English has become so nearly uni
versal.

FIGHTING THE GERMAN PEOPLE.


The beastliness of the German army in
the field, the full extent Of which is not
even to this day appreciated in America, is
set forth by Rev. George Alexander Crit
fiths an American priest, who is serving
as a chaplain in the United States army in
France. Writing to friend, he says
among other things:
my religion has expanded and I am will
ing to add clause Of belief in the extlnc-
ton of the Boche, and regard it as orthodox
and as necessary for my souls salvation as
p other great truths Of our religion More
than that, feel that express the sentiment
when l say that were in America today,
priest as l am should do my best to have
put to death any Boche in America, or any
, so-called American who would apologize IN
any way for what the Boche has done.
"Au that you have heard in America about
them does not approximate the truth. There
are little children right here in France with
their little stumps of hands. There were
some not far from my last camp and young
men with all the fingers Of their right hand
The other day British officer and three
Tonuies told me that short time ago they
went as an advance party into a little village
from which the Boche had been driven back
and in a large room there were four young
Canadians crucified, one on each wall OF the
I also have it on the word Of one OF the
sz greatest French abbes that the Boches were
and kill or outrage the nuns, and he says that
all through France and Belgium are ruined
a converts and that the nuns were given to the
soldiers to be outraged in the camps
And still there are those who say we are
not fighting the German people, but are
fighting their rulers. There are fewer TO-
day, it is true, who hold to that belief, and
their number is rapidly diminishing, as
well it should.
Americans have chung to the beautiful
illusion that the German people are angels,
restrained from doing only deeds Of kind
ness because of their fiendish rulers. The
evidence, however, is all to the contrary,
and no practical man or woman can longer
refute the proposition that Germans in the
army are any worse or any better than the
Germans at home-for every family in Ger
many is represented on the fields where
the beastly work has been carried on.

MR., wARBURG's RETIREMENT.

w
Chicago Tribune: The retirement Of
Paul Warburg from the federal reserve
board and the acceptance Of his resignation
by President Wilson are source of regret
not only to those who appreciated the eX-
ceptional service he has rendered the coun-
try, but to those who believe that the cir
cumstances constitute a reproach to the
nation. Mr.. Warburg is of German birth
and he has two brothers who are serving
the German cause in financial capacity,
and these facts, as far as we know, COM
prise the sum total of the case that can be
urged against him.
On the other hand, he has unselfishly de-
voted his great talents to the upbuilding
Of the federal reserve system, both before
and after we entered the war. His retire
ment, the President says, ''is serious loss
to the public service" and the President
takes occasion to emphasize his confidence
in Mr.. Warburg's loyalty.
We need only read the current casualty
lists to observe that Americans of German
blood are willing to give their lives to serve
our cause. We need only turn to our own
past history to realize that relative can
fight against relative with all the ardor Of
those who have no utilization with the OPP
posing side. Yet we now allow unsupport-
ed suspicion to drive from an important
office a man for whom it will be more than
difficult to find qualified successor. Mr..
Wilson might perhaps have persuaded Mr..
Warburg to withdraw his resignation, and
there are doubtless many who will feel that
to make the effort, at least, would have
been the wiser and more dignified course.
Mr.. Warburg's letter is the one crafty
ing incident in the whole affair. Without
rancor and without bitterness, though we
could hardly blame him if he should dis
play these feelings in the circumstances,
Mr.. Warburg states the case Of a good
American ready to serve his country, what
ever might happen and ready to resign if
by so doing it appeared that he could do a
greater service. He realizes that the sus-
picion against Americans Of German ances-
thy is often unreasoning," but he also
realizes that in war it is likely to disturb
the mental balance of many otherwise nor
NAL persons.
Mr.. Warhurg leaves his office with the
sincere gratitude and sincere regret of all
thinking Americans

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep.
ing Up With North Dakota Editors

The Kenmare News comments on the recen
passing of the moratorium act by the state coun
Gil Of Defense
The partial chattel mortgage moratorium
act recently passed by the state council of
defense, was modified last Saturday when
that body had conference with a committee
representing the North Dakota Bankers AS
ISOLATION. The fact that the moratorium
resolution materially modified would
seem to be an admission by the council Of
defense that the original resolution was too
drastic and thereby had a tendency to injure
the credit and good name Of our state. If it
was so drastic that it was necessary to modi-
fy it, then it must also be admitted that the
criticism and adverse comment made by the
independent press regarding this resolution,
was both proper and justifiable.
The resolution signed by the executive
committee Of the Bankers association, which
was in conference with the council Of defense,
refers particularly to the proposed resolution
Of the control Of all grain elevators by the
state. The fact that the resolution was
drafted and that it was being seriously con-
sidered by the council Of defense, can not be
denied AT farmers meeting here which
was addressed by ]. A. McGovern, chief
deputy state grain inspector just prior TO
the time that the story was published by The
Courier-News and given to the press by the
assistant secretary Of the state council Of de-
tense, statements were made by Mr.. Meow
ern which left no doubt but what the chief
grain inspector had positive knowledge of the
fact that the council contemplated taking
over the grain elevators.
THE News published only the contemplated
caption OF Were the Beans Spilled? We
believed then-and still believe-that this
contemplated resolution would have been
passed Ly the council of defense, had the
story not been prematurely given out flood
ing the council with protests in addition to
the adverse criticism in the Independent
press If it was not premeditated the de-
Tense council is really fortunate that their
assistant secretary gave out the report pre-
maturely, as it probably saved them the HUI
initiation of having to back up on another
resolution.
The editor of The Hillsboro Banner has this sa
about graft in the army:
One who has disgraced the American uni
form by attempt to work a graft deal on
the government is utterly unfit to be honored
entrusted with position in any law-mak-
ing body. The propensity to graft is bound
to break out sooner or later-and the peoples
interests are never the first consideration Of
such a being If full justice were done such
a one would be enclosed by the walls of Fort
Leavepworth and a loyal public would be
spared the idle vaporings Of disgruntled
mind.

sum in order to make, in SO short a time, an
adequate beginning for our gigantic task.
But it is only our beginning. We must follow
it with greater energy and support it with
increasing power. Men, munitions, ships and
supplies must go to Europe in a larger and larger
stream. We must redouble our blows and add
constantly to the strength of those blows, if
our initial effort is not to be wasted.
