THEY WILL MAKE GOOD
Aviators in Italy Constant
Iy Warned How Much Democracy
Depends On Them.

American Aviation Camp, Southern
Italy, April %, Correspondence of
the Associated Press)-Control of
young men on Il foreign soil is con-
sidered one of the main difficulties OF
their training by the American COM
mander here. The instruction in the
art of practical flying is far easier
than teaching them how to avoid the
inevitable temptations presented to
visitors in a new and interesting
country. AS the very life Of the avia-
tors depends on their mental and
physical condition, without counting
machines worth $1,000 Or more each,
the commander is doing all in his
power to teach his aviators to lead
sober lives in every respect.
The rough and ready discipline ap-
piled to infantry or artillery or cav
airy has not been found adapted to
aviators on whose morale so much
depends. Downright drunkenness and
the contraction of avoidable diseases
are the only two offenses which meet
with severe punishment, and the lat
ter always means court martial.
For the rest persuasion is used. In

city of 10000 inhabitants or more, an
agency for English culture. The tasks
of such centers would be:
81 Teaching Of the English Ian
guage free of charge.
80. The support Of a free English
library.
90. The training of youth in Eng
lsh games, sports, athletics and Eng
lish culture
a. The stimulation of trade with
the United States and Great Britain.
"All religious and political propa-
ganda in such centers must be strict
ly, forbidden. BY doing it you will
confer great boon on the Slav and
other nations and strike mortal blows
at the aggressive Germanism, whose
attempts at world conquest by Ger
man arms for German trade and kul-
tur and language will not end with
the present war.
Il regard the immediate organiza-
ton of agencies of English culture in
foreign countries as of great impor-
lance to the United States After
this war the United States can never
return to the status Of isolation and
indifference to world policies Amer
icas national destiny is and must be
to lead all nations in the affairs Of
the world. For such leadership she
must plan and prepare. A long and
bitter struggle of a just, humani-
tartan, progressive and democratic
Americanism against the most eff
cient and satanic powers of German
ism is in progress. BY pushing for
ward the English language and him
dering the spread of the German we
shall help in one way Americanism
to triumph

it and declares that even after the

The Germans study French. Eng
iish, Italian, Spanish and Russian
They do it because. to live and pros
fer, they must sell goods to people
who, talk those foreign tongues MANY
hundred millions, who were the best
German customers, have natural
aud justified antipathy to the German
language, so the Germans must study
their customers tongues. It is OH
vicus that the Americans must also
study Spanish, Italian, French and
Russian to meet the German sales
man on even terms in those respec-
tive countries. For an American
salesman to try to trade in German
for the next hundred years with any
cf the present allied nations after
this war is to commit commercial
suicide. French, Russian, Italian and
Spanish are the foreign tongues ne
cessary to the commercial men of our
country and not German.
The German language is welcome
only in Germany, in the German
Austrian provinces and by a great
number of Jews, who talk Juedisch,
German jargon. Nobody else loves
%icrman. The German business men
talk English, so the American sales
man does not need to bargain with
them in broken German when he can
honor the Teutons by talking with
them in English. There is no COM
mercial good reason for Am erican
boys to torture their tongues and
robson their minds by the study of
German.
THE commercial transactions in the
United States, Asia, Australia and
AAfrica are not and shall never be
made in German. English is there
supreme; Spanish in Latin America

import figures of all the countries OF
South America it is found that by
their own official showing South Amer
