puts the matter in the opening para

Following is the text of the resG
luton:
Whereas, Notwithstanding there
is a department for the teacn-
ing of German in our Keokuk
schools, patriotic motives have
caused the people to resent In
struction of this language, and
Whereas, there is in our opinion
no reason for the teaching OF
German in any American school.
as both Spanish and French will
be far more useful commercially,
more beautiful in construction
and expression, and of far
greater vaule as an accomplish
ment, and
Whereas, we hold in high es-
TEEN that part of our citizenship
that are of German blood, who
are loyal to America and Amer1-
can institutions, we think it time
to impress upon the minds of
our future citizens that German
initiative is myth, German eff
cheney over-rated, and German
trend of thought as expressed by
the ruling powers of Germany,
brutal, unchristian, abominable,
and intolerable.
Therefore, be it resolved that
the Unity club enter its very
earnest protest against teaching
the German language in the
schools of Keokuk, or the state
of Iowa.
Be it further resolved that a
committee be appointed by the
chair to serve until the spirit of
this resolution is carried out and
that this committee be instructed
to be diligent in the use OF all
honorable means to see that the
German language is no longer
taught in the schools of Lee
county, or the state of Iowa.

1t is presumed from the wording
of this resolution that the commit
tee will bring the matter to the al
tention of the school board at 1t

confiscation of Coal.

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-Wholesale
confiscation of coal from industries in
sufficient quantities to meet domestic
requirements has been decided upon
by the fuel administration, it was an
nounced today.
This action, it was said, was made
necessary because of the emergency
caused by the freight congestion In the
east and prospects Of a fortnight of ex-
tremely cold weather. Seizure of coal
will effect less essential factories and
even war industries may be forced to
curtail consumption in favor of house
hold needs.
The fuel administration had reports
today OF alarming coal congestion
throughout the east. Similar reports
we're received from as far west as
Chicago.

have already been destroyed. In six
counties in the northern part OF the
state no tall barberrieS were found the

Washburn, Sawyer, Iron, Villas, Forest

Crawford, Green and VernOn) had re-
moved all of their barberries when
secuted the second time, while several
others were kept from going over the
top by only one or two neglectful
owners. The data gathered by the bar
berry scouts on their first survey
showed that in 124 towns there were
4,151 private property owners who had

include the great amount that had been
