German Soldier in
Franco-prussidn War
Had Sense of Honor

Rev. DR.. Russell A Cornwell the pres
ident OF Temple University in Philadel-
pha- noted educator and lecturer. talk
ed in school board meeting in Phila-
delphia suburb this week on the ques-
ton Of disseminating the teaching Of
German in the public schools. Some
OF the things he said follow;
With reference TO the German Ian
guage it is not right at this time to
encourage the study OF the language
in America because it increases our
interest in German literature. and Ger
man literature has for fifty years been
a dangerous element in the education
OF young people.
In every large library the greatest
number Of German books are upon
subjects which destroy our faith IN
God or our faith in humanity and
disturb the fundamental institutions
OF humanity which are necessary To our
happiness.
The modern exhibition OF German
ideas expressed and practiced by the
kaiser &sd lis ccGcseiers is antason-
ist:c to every American principle OF
democracy. These ideas are subtle ana
inclusive and overturn the faith of the
reader in American political ideas so
easily and so gradually that they are
the more dangerous on that account.
The German character as it Is eS-
h!bi,ed in modern Germany is diff
ferent thing from that which was
found there twenty FIVE and fifty years
ago. I was a correspondent IN the
Franco German war and al that time
the sense of honor among the soldiers
on both sides was very clear Cruei-
ties with atrocities were rarely hearo
OF even in the German attacks upon
France. There was but little injustice
done TO prisoners. and very strong
dissemination or the part OF Germans
10 murder women or children, or at
tack cities or ships without fair ana
honorable warning. The present DIS
position. seems Ia be strong puniic
tendency toward evil and toward sell
ishness. willingness TO adopt any
form of inJ ustice for the sake OF VIC
tory. Hence the less we have OF IL
in America the better fer this coun-
trv and the better for Germany itself.
For the present it would he much bet
ter TO take the German language out
of the schools and out Of public use
entirely until the German people have
their consciences awakened. and re-
turn to the primitive faith and the
everyday sense of justice. fairness and
goodness.
az believe that if the German peo-
ole were once permitted to see the
facts and use their consciences they are
human enough to overturn the present
government in Germany and establish
a democracy wherein there shah De
truth and justice and everlasting
peace.
THE very dangerous attempt to IN
fiuence the American mind for many
years past by indirect teaching Is
something which We must meet IN
order to win the final victory Tor the
benefit of humanity. We must defeat
Germany everywhere, and consequent
ly we must keep the German ian
guage and the German books and the
modern German idea out Of the minds
Of the rising generation"

Cabling from The Hague to the New
York Times. its correspondent says 1t
is impossible TO close ones eyes 10
what is going on in the hospitals ana
prisoners camps in Germany. II is a
mistake TO believe, he continues that
the treatment OF prisoners ana
wounded in Germany has improved.
on the contrary, it is as bad as 1t ever
was, even worse.
The pun;shments inflicted are cruel
and inhuman. AS is we'll known, pris-
oners are absolutely dependent upon
parcels for food and clothing. A
favorRe punishment Is TO withhold
these from a whole camp or from large
bodies of prisoners, 1t has been estab-
lishcd beyond doubt that prisoners are
employed behind the front and are
under sheIlfre. in defiance OF The
Hague agreement of 1911.
Some prisoners never reach camp
in Germany for SIX months, meanwhile
receiving no parcels OF food. Their
condition on arrival at camp, broken
down and starving. IS pitiahle.
The evidence doesn't tend TO show
that American prisoners are receiving
any preferential tratment. 1t is re-
ported that the first American prison
ers taken were hawked about the
