German Newspapers.

The National Security League Committee on
Patriotism Through Education, thinks this is the
time to establish a common language in America.
1t believes that the way to do this is to eliminate
the speaking and teaching of German in the
schools, except as an elective in the college, and
that when taught in the college, the instructors
should be men of unquestoned loyalty.
The Washington Herad's contention is, that
enemy languages should not be taught in our
schools during the war. When peace comes the
question will demand another solution: In the
meantime when we teach the German language,
we are lending "aid and comfort to the enemy.
To get the right angle, do you suppose the German
schools in Germany are wasting their opportunity
by teaching English? A takes his life in his
hands to even speak English on the soil Of the
barbarian.
German newspapers published in America are
a menace to this country. They should be stopped.
Their publication in the past has not been objected
to for the reason that many older Germans IN this
country could not read English.
President Wilson stated the attitude of this
country to loyal Germans in these clear words:
You may be sure that I sympathize and
shall cooperate with every effort to see to 1t
that loyal residents of the United States OF
German birth descent given genuine
proof of the sincerity of our institutions. 1t
distresses me beyond measure that suspicion
should attach to those who do not deserve 1t
and that acts OF injustice and even violence
should be based upon the suspicion.
One BY one the German newspapers in America
are closing their doors. The sooner all close the
better for the American people, and this includes
the loyal residents OF German birth in this country.

faction, that all the siderea law and order and all
the wonders OF nature are but an accident; that
the love of man and wife, parent and child, is a
Joke terminated by the end of this little Whit Of
time called life; that hope and aspiration, both
spiritual and material, are but open traps for the
weak-minded; that the total of human progress is
not worth while.
How could one so blinded see, beside the shrap-
mel and bullets, the souls of Americans who fight
and die for love of their brothers? How could one
so deaf hear the divine command, Love ye one
another" as the fighting or dying hero in Flanders
hears it?
They publish much about the tremendous, un-
heard-of undertaking of America in this war. She
is to transport millions of men, with arms, food
and munitions across thousands of miles of sea.
1t is an enormous, grand, most difficult task,
and history tells of nothing approaching it. But
the grandest, greatest thing about it is the why
of it. 1t is for perpetual peace, for human liberty
and progress, for the universal brotherhood, for
peace and good will among men," That's spirit

He Hadn't Much Else.

The conversation at Washington social gather
ing turned to the propensity of some people for
prcying the store OF others, when this anccdote
was related by Representative Campbell B. Slemp,
OF Virginia.
While in unfamiliar town early one morning
a travelling salesman ycarncd TO smoke, but could
find cigar store that had opened for the days
business Seeing small boy putting on a cigar
cite he hastcned in his direction.
"Say, son." he remarked to the youngster, "do
you happen to have another cigarette on you?"
NO." answered the boy, pulling bag of to-
bacco and some papers from his pocket, "but I've
got the makin's."
Fine" responded the travelling man, "but
can't roll them very well. Do you mind fixing one
for me-"
The youngster complied, and hurridly taking the
smoke the salesman began to fish around in his
pockets for match.

Gee, mister" remarked the youngster, produc-
ing the match. you hain't got nothin but the

Our Heroes Have the Faith.

\ reader who didn't at all like the editorial

Editor The Washington Herald: Such
phrases as God is love" and "the Lord will
provide are all right in peace time. but when
that sclf-same Parsonage fails to intervene in
the cause OF justice, these Biblical injunctions
are placed on the shell and man becomes the
nlaterialist that he is and fights the thing out,
not with Biblical inJunctions, but with shrap-
rel and bullets.
ONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE.
o! ye OF little faith! Eyes ye have, and see not
Ears ye have and hear not.
Are our boys in France fighting it out merely
with shrapnel and bulletso Have they placed faith
IN His eternal goodness the shelf and put re-
lance wholly bayonct and trigger? By no
means. To say that young Americans arc
over there simply to kill is to say that America
is barbarouS.

cross 5000 miles OF death-infestcd ocean to fight?
That their brothers may enjoy the rights of free

shipping God as they please. These rights are the
Creators cause, and they are the spiritual reward

II we have armies in France composed of mere
head-hunters, armies who have put the Almighty
on the shelf and without inspiration let's have
them home and set them to killing Canadians and
Mexicans, for the acquisition of territory, or for
other greedy purpose.
But 1t is not remarkable that zone who does
not believe Can see naught the shrapnel and
bullets. Why should one who does not belieye in
God see anything He's made stoneb blind by his
own conceit, to begin with. He has set himself up
as wiser than 99 per cent OF humanity, living or

Freddie Granville was bitten on
