only after such German minister
of the gospel signs a Pledge of
loyalty to this country. Again
we say this is very reasonable in
view of the behavior of the Ger
man element in this country in
general and of the German minis
ters of the gospel in particular.
Their claim is that such a demand,
that is, signing the pledge, is a re-
Election upon their loyalty, and
one of them, in this neck of the
woods, has gone so far in his
righteous wrath" that he claimed
the Order will work an unusual
hardship, because from 80 to 95
per cent of his flock do not under
stand the English language.
This is a fatal admission of an
unhealthy condition which should
be looked after Immediately, ifnot
sooner. Judging from the be.
havior of the german element, we
believe this German minister Of
the gospel spake the truth, as all
ministers should. If people who
came to this free country 40 and
so years ago, from a country
where they barely eked out a mis-
cradle living, and they and their
children, born on this free soil,
cannot understand the language of
the land, something is radically
wrong, not with the country that
munifcently rewarded their
efforts, but with these people
alone.
If they came here as emmissa-
ries of the Kaiser to Prussianize
America, and many of them have
not as yet, after so years of resi-
dence, become citizens, then say
we, the government should send
its emmissaries into their carbun-
Gle community and thoroly Ameri-
canize them.
Solid german communities are
carbuncles on the body of this ma
ton have been painfully brought
to the surface during this war.

The german language, german j.
deals and the german spirit has
been intensively fostered in them.
If the german people ih this coun-
try are willing to sign up to the
german idea that might is right,
that the germans are supermen,
that small! ~nationi have no right to
exist and should he destroyed,
that all other people r pigs and
dogs, that a strong nation like
germany cannot commit a wrong
or crime, that Wilhelm the thrice
damned rules over germany by the
grace of God, that mutilating
children assaulting pure women,
t~orturing prisoners, committing
atrocities and bar barities never
heard of in the annals of history,
let them do so, but also let them
beware.
The Council of Defense should
not back up an inch, but tighten
the screws another notch; for if
we do not Americanize these little
germanies here, they will some
day germanize and terrorize us as
they did Belgium and other coun-
triac

Och, och, Was list?

The recent order No. 4 of the
State Council of Defense has 81
ven rise to a vociferous protest
particularly from the German
ministers of the gospel, because
under this order they r forbid
den to preach their sermons in
''das deutsche sprache', but must
preach in the English, with a Is
minute resume of the sermon al
lowed in the german. This is a
very reasonable demand and stimuli
taneously a concession on the part
of the Council, in view of the be
havior of the German element in
this country generally, but what
gets the ministers goat is that
this Is minute resume is granted

psnaerous ouack Advertising

Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the public health service has issued warning to newspapers and magazines of the danger of an alarming spread of venereal diseases in the reconstruction period after the war The mobilization trainnS the watch fu care of the medical department and the rigorous regulations have gone farther to stamp out these dis eases than had been done but it is feared that in the period prior to demobization there will be dangerous relaxation of the morale of our fighting forces. Says Surgeon General Blue:
 Two great contributing factors in the spread of yenereal infections
 l. Quack doctors and medical institutes adver-
 Using in newspapers and magazines to treat
 so-called private diseases.
 2 Nostrums for the, sef-treatment of venereal
 diseases, likewise advertised in newspapers
 and magazines.
 The government appeals to the newspapers and magazines of the country to cooperate by agreeing not to print advertising within the above classes
 We cannot think that any decent newspaper, one fit to be taken int othe home will withhold its CO., operation from the public health service in this mat ter few years ago newspapers as a rule accepted unQuestioningly all advertisements offered them. Some six years ago Tho Republican, one of the pio- neers in the campaign honest advertising began cleansing it's columns and advertisements of the kind mentioned by the surgeon general the first to go Since then it has eliminated all other advertis ing which it has believed menaced the morals the health or the pocketbooks of its readers
 If there yet any newspapers which publish these very objectionable advertisements legisa- lures should notice of that fact and restrain them by legislation. Such restraint. though it can do no harm may be unnecessary. We think an awakened public opinion among decent patrons of newspapers will be sufficient convince unscrupu lous publishers that this kind advertising does not pay.

Workers for the Christmas Roll Call Of the Red Cross, the campaign being from December 16 to 23, will be imme- dlateiy recognized because of the dis tlnctlve insignia which they will wear Each worker will wear a flaming red arm band, upon which will appear in letters of white, Christmas Roll Cail.''

PARTING INJUNCTION BY NM. |. M 'ADOO
 FUR w. $. $. DRIVE

William c. McAdoo, late secretary of the treasury, in a telegram to Harry R. Tritle, state director for the war savings stamps, dated at Washington, December 5, wires as follows:
 T most earnestly urge upon you that your organization make every possible effort to the end that pledges for the purchase of war savings stamps be fulfilled before the close of the year. The governments monetary require nents were never greater nor more pressing than they are today. EXpen- ditures for November were greater than in any similar period. The eX- penditures growing out of the war must be met by borrowing from the people and their magnificent response heretofore to the government require ments makes me confident that they will not fail to continue thelr support i to the end that all payments resulting from war necessities will be promptly met.
 Much remains to be done Our brave troops must be maintained and paid until their work is fully accom- l pllsheG and they are returned to their homes. This is not a time for US to relax our efforts and the treasury de- partment is making plans for larger and even more important work during

HARMONY STATUS
 OF HEALTH BODIES
 REMAINS UNCHANGED

Officials of the council of defense Manager Thompsons direct denial hat harmony had been secured among all the working agencies of the city and county, in the effort to stamp out the influenza epidemic. The facts as stated yesterday in The Republican stand as printed, so far as their information goes The typewriter rules, accord ing to one of the council officials, had been arranged by Dr. o. F. Brown, state health officer, and it was upon his word that the city manager had approved them, or was waiting in his office to do so, that the harmony an- nouncement was authorized. The rules are still awaiting final action. It was ! learned yesterday that the council of 1 defense office remained open late i Wednesday afternoon, expecting pr. i Browns arrival, as agreed His non- arrival is attributed to the fact that i he was about to depart for Chicago, ! to attend a national conference at that | city, where he is expected to tell his l experiences in checking the disease in
 this state and city
 That City Manager Thompson re-
 mained in his office, by appointment
 it is said, for Dr. Browns appearance
 was indicated by council of defense of ficials. The status of the whole af- fair, therefore, as far as it concerns

Opaqueness

Senator Kellogg and other compliments against obscurty presidents peace plan utterances, fourteen points and his failure to elaborate them for the senate have not taken into the prob ability-at any rate, the possibity-that what the president said is already clear to the senators it is to the president himself It is quite likely that when the president delivered himself of those cancellations last January he had definite idea and has formed since to the in which they to be applied. Even the abstract idea, in whatever language it may have been put, may be vague and tenuous. If these principles ciated by the president to become tangible they can become so only after consultation and discussion by those who will be delegated to sit about the peace table
 It may seem strange to many whose thinking has not led them into perpexes that it is possible for one to put into words thought elusive that he cannot explain clearly what he means, however powerful may be his command of language.
 Those who have read Browning, and there are middle aged and old persons who lived through the Browning cult recall the difficulties they had in ar- irving at the meaning of many passages of that mystifyng poet. Many of those passages have never been made clear though it cannot be believed that Browning intended any of them to be obscure. is related that Browning himself appealed to regarding the meaning of particularly obscure pas and he confessed his forgctfulness of what he had in mind when he penned those lines, elu- sive had been the thought he had tried to imprson in words.
 Yet, we suppose there were one or more mem bers of each of the hundreds of Browning crbs throughout the English speaking world who would have unhesitatingy interpreted the language of the poet and probably two interpretations would been alike and of them would have recalled 10 the poet the thing that had floated before him for instant.
 Peace plans year ago were necessarily vague and no language could then have given them form and substance. Events for the last six months marched with such rapidity that the minds of men could not keep pace with them Certainly the tongues pens and typewrters of men could not

Leagues and Leagues of Nations

There are in the minds of almost as many kinds of Leagues of Nations as there are minds dwelling that foremost of all subjects. As Mark Sullivan in the second of series of articles in Col Hers states. the League of Nations is only an idea and only man, H. c. Wells. has so far dared to attempt to give the idea concreteness It is beau tfu idea but whenever any point it soIidifies it encounters criticism It is for that reason that statesmen hesitate to declare precisely what the League of Nations shall be shall do.
 The socialists doubt easily be brought into Mir Wells way of thinking for, for such league he conemplates would be merely internationalisr into which the people of all nations would agree to pool their advantages and disadvantages If that can be done it will that the world has come out of the crucibe of alrustic; that all selfishness along with other human dross. has been cast aside and that at last have suddenly changed and re- fined human nature.
 Mir Sullivan mentions that such league of na- ttons or any league into which altruisn enters in any degree will be of varying advantage to the na- tions participating in it. It needed in varying de- grees, and Mir Sullivan states the United States needs it the least of all To this country it would mean surrender of many natural advantages It would mean, for instance that labor should be placed the level in this country that it will find itself on in all other countries It would mean that u1ete Snoulu pc commercial community and that, to all Etents and purposes, the nations in the league would be federation of states as close as that of the states of our union. Indeed, such league has been outlined by Frenchmen
 Another and more practical, and so far as this country is concerned favored idea of league is one to enforce peace armed with power to en- force it. That is, perhaps far as any except the dreamers among would care at this time to go and so far as learn from anything the presi- dent has said the subject, that is about as far as he cares to go. He has advocated, not commer- cial community in the league. but the principle of non discrimination; that is he proposes that there shall be preferred nations that whatever the fs- cal policy of a member nation may be, it shall apply alike to all other members of the league.
 There is we understand, proposal to equalize labor conditions throughout the world that is yet vague Mir Sullivan says the idea of the league itself is. A league may be brought to an agreement on the question of armament. that what has been a cogging weight upon nations may be reduced, but cannot be wholly removed; otherwise, the league would find itself helpless

FAVORS HIGHWAY BUILDING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Early re- sumption and extension of highway construction is highly desirable in the opinion Of President Wilson. Secre- tary Houston today made public a let ter from the president stating speedy renewal of road building under the federal aid road act, would be in the public interest" and expressing the be- lief that an additional appropriation should be made for that purpose.
 Secretary Houston also made public a letter from Secretary Baker, in which the war secretary asserted that the war department will continue to CO., operate with the department of agriculture in the building of roads.
 Tt is important not only to develop good highways throughout the country as quickly as possible" said the presi- dents letter, but it is also, at this time, especially advisable to resume and extend all such essential public works with a view to furnishing en- ployment for laborers who may be seeking new tasks during the period of readjustment."

YUMA GAMBLING LAW

(By ! S. Taylor, Puma Sun

YUMA, Dec. 4.-The most drastic anti gambling law ever made effective in any town or city of Arizona was put into action today as result of the passage yesterday in the city election of a referendum measure governing card playing and bedrooms.
 The new law forbids the playing of cards in any private or public place when anything of value whatsoever IS at stake. Church card socials, five hundred games, whist for prizes, ol any game that has gift stakes or oth- erwise where value is represented, are ruled out.
 Today the police stopped card games for chips in all parts of town. So- cial clubs were notified that games must cease immediately unless played merely for fun and the lid cama down hard on poolrooms, where boys over IS years of age have been woit, to gather.

FRANCE WENT WILD OVER THE TIDINGS
 OF FINAL VICTORY

How France received the news of the end of the war is told by Robert Loveioy in a letter to his mother from St. Nizaire:
 Well, mother dear, this great and terrible war is over at last. At the eleventh day of the eleventh month and the eleventh hour, the whole world is freed from kaiserism. Next to the day we reach the shores of the good old U. s. A., the eleventh of November will be the greatest day of the whole year 1918. I went to camp at 2:30 of the morning of the 11th and was awak- ened at II o'clock by whistles, sirens. bells, bands and every other thing that could give or produce some kind of noise I got up and dressed and ate dinner and then went down town to see what was going on. To begin with, old Sol entered into the spirit of the occasion with his radiant smile all day long, adding that necessary warmth to the cool breezes of a November day.
 "The streets were thronged with hu- man beings all decked out in the.. Sunday best. 1 didn't know there were so many people in the town of St. Ma zaire. The Rue de Nante, the main street of St. Nazaire, was a seethins mass of people, sidewalks and streets iammed to the gills. Nearly every house had flag out-I mean from six to eight flags. In fact, the town was nothing but flags. Just think of it. this was the first time in four years that France had displayed flags or colors. Every available band was out, rendering all sorts of music. and pa rading the streets, followed by an end less throng of men. women and cnil- dren. The only objection I found with he bands was that they took turns l playing the French national anthem 1 and the Star Spangled Banner, which ! of course was entirely proper, but the i playing of these anthems necessitated l the proper salute and l would not be

lying if I said that I stood at attention saluting about half the afternoon. The other half I spent in parading up and down the street with the rest of the crowd.
 T don't think that any speeches were made, for the people were too restless to stay in one spot any length of time. All the stores, shops. factories and everything were closed all day I never saw so many good looking girls as l saw the afternoon of the 11th of November. All formality was forgot ten and they would join hands with the soldiers and go singing and walk ing and running up and down the streets. This was kept up all after noon.
 T don't think any one went home to supper, for the crowd didn't lessen any from the time it formed until the time came for all good people to get off the streets. At night the whole town was lit up. and with the best Illuminating apparatus available. Not only was it lit up with lights, but with spirits. Nearly all the French male population was enjoying its win blanc and rum. You will notice that I say the French male population, for all the cafes were closed to men of the A. F. F. Of course, this brought forth not a few cuss words. but later they agreed that it was the best thing that could have happened. They all seemed to get along without it and seemed to have just as good a. time as they could have had if they were all Tit up.' As re- suit of the cafes being closed to the men of the A. E. F., disorders did not mar the greatness of the d3V of course there were a few who succeed ed in getting drunk, but they were in the minority. and those who did, made a very gentlemanjy drunk of it.
