TIME great excitement over the
third Liberty loan was entirely
justified in the District Of Co.
lumbia, which now owns an honor
flag for the great quota subscribed.
The women's committee did wonder
full work, headed as it is by the
most prominent official women of the
country, including, Mrs. Thomas r.
Marshall, wife of the vice president,
the hostessses of the cabinet circle;
Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the speaker
of the house of representatives, and
Mrs. James R. Mann, wife of the mi
nority leader of the house and the
only republican woman on the
woman's advisory committee. Prom
inent society girls were stationed in
districts all over the city. ,.
The young daughter of one of the
wartime residents was assigned to
the uptown department" district on
the last day, and as 4 o'clock APP
preached, realizing she had not sold
a bond that afternoon, was deeply
chagrined. A plain but kindly-look-
ing man was approaching. She ac-
costed him with a distressed face.
II haven't sold bond this afternoon
and am responsible for this district.
Won't you buy one?' she asked in
plaintive voice and with appealing
face. He answered promptly, yes,
III take twenty-five" She told him
gently she could not sell twenty-five.
The smallest was fifty. He smiled
slightly and then said. Il mean
twenty-five of the ,ffty-dollar bonds"
The girl looked startled, and he went
further, as she pulled out her little
certificate for him to sign: Make it
twenty-five thousand dollars worth
if you want to: Firmly convinced
she had stopped a maniac, she was
downright frightened and could
hardly write out the amount. With
trembling hand she gave him the slip
to sign, hoping he would do it
quickly and go away, fearing to show
her alarm. He wrote boldly on the
line marked signature" Charles M.
Schwab." The girl, knowing the
name well and realizing the money
was perfectly good, says she could

rection of Mrs. Samuel Avery, wife
of the chancellor OF the Nebraska
university, who is one of the most
active workers in the Nebraska
Women's Washington club. Some
of the girls, it must be told, are only
just learning to knit, and they are
put on quilt squares, as bed coverings
are almost as much needed. and they
are simple to practice on. The women
are getting their wool through the
Congressional club, which sells to its
members at cost, and the finished
articles are turned in to the club,
which is doing splendid Red Cross
work. The girls have been meeting
in the home of Senator Norris, as

As she passed ON the west side OF

the porch of house opposite, waved
to the Red Cross worker and started
to approach his chummy roadster,
when another neighbor, this time an
elderly woman, driving plain little
"fivver," drew up right between the
girl and the man with the car. :

lady. The canteener hesitated, re-

A FAVORED ALIEN PRESS

The people Of Ohio are interested
just now in particular bit OF pro-
Germanism that they never happen
e. to think about before. 1t is one
item in the great campaign for the
extention OF German kulture in
America which went on unchecked
and unregardcd for so many years.
1t amounts to a public subsidy for
German language newspapers.
There are state laws making 1t
obligatory that all legal notices shall
be published in German papers. Ger
man is the only alien language so
favored. Something like 100000 a
wear OF state funds is said to be
spent annually for that purpose. 1t
may be assumed that a much larger
amount is spent similarly in county
and municipal advertising in com
munities where there are German
papers. The situation is similar IN
many, perhaps most OF our states.
IT does look curious, in the light
OF our present attitude toward Ger
man language and kulture. and es-
pecially toward the German news
papers in this country. Until verey
recently those papers have been one
of the most potent and harmful
forces we had TO contend with in
our everlasting task OF maintaining
American ideals and hmericanizing
our immigrant population. They are
still capable OF harm; and they are
still supported, in large part, by pub
lie funds.
The situation. needless to say,
should be changed as promptly as
possible. Ii German language pa
pers are allowed to exist they
should be tolerated only on the same
basis as other branches OF our alien
press instead of being specially ia
yored.
