German Language Question.

herman Language 0ueStIoH.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON April 4.-Rifts in
opinion over the German language
question appeared at the Americaniza-
ton conference here today.
Secretary of the Interior Lane, pre-
siding at the conference and others,
urged that the foreign language press
be used as the best means Of reaching
un-Americanized people. Ex-senator
Lafayette Young. of Iowa, leading the
other faction, spoke out emphatically
for total suppression not only of for
eign language newspapers, but use OF
German language, German music and
everything Teutonic.
Secretary Lane, backed by George
Creel and others. argued before the
delegates that thousands can read no
other language than German. There
fore, they hold the only way Ameri-
cas- ideals can be brought to them is
through their own tongue.
''If l were president, l should to-
morrow suppress every German news
paper in America Young said, in OPP
position Ninety per cent OF the
German language teachers in elemen-
tary schools are traitors
He qualified this by saying it refer
red to the ENTHUSIASTICALLY Mime
sofa.

Tissue Of Falsehood.
PARIS, April 4-1he Paris press
unanimously approves Premier Glenn
enceau's action In bluntly giving the
lie to Foreign Minister Czernin OF
Austria, thereby characterizing the
latter's entire speech before the
Vienna municipal council as a tissue
of falsehoods.
The Petit Journal says it is no
secret that Czernin, in agreement
with Berlin, maintained numerous
agents in Switzerland, who proclaim
ed everywhere the central powers
readiness to negotiate peace and
Germany's willingness to make I'M
portant concessions.
The newspaper adds that certain
French statesmen almost fell into the
trap, but that neither Clemenceau
nor Foreign Minister Pichon ever re-

Despite the predictions of experts
four years ago that it would be
portant commercial nations to finance
war of this magnitude for but a
very brief time" Hull said, 1.-The
great expenditures have piled up in
excess of 100000. 900, 000--a cost to
every man, woman and child on the
globe of more than $50 EACH
Admission Of Failure.
WASHINGTON. April 4.-The de-
parture of Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen for the western front, reported
in Paris newspapers, is tacit ad

of her Picardy drive, allied diplomats
said today.
Won Mackensen Is considered as
the ablest of the kaiser's generals,
but for some time has been in bad
favor at court. His presence on the
western front would indicate, diplo-
mats say, that Germany is about to
play her last card In France.
