to the Allies the gold she obtained
from Russia (about 300 millions

German territory is made without
any incident; the people show
more surprise than depression,
and the French officers are receiv-
ed with every courtesy on the part
of the civilians, although coldly by
the military authorities, as should
be expected.

have occurred in other part Of
the world; for example, than the

the California earthquake Of 1906.

To his Execellency Arthur Yager,
Governor of Porto Rico.
Sir:
In accordance with your request
we have begun a careful investiga-
ton Of the severe earthquakes
which unfortunately caused SO
much damage in this island in
October and Nov. Of this year.
We have visited many towns in
an area covering about two thirds
of the Island, and have arrived at
fairly definite conclusions, which
will be of interest to you. The
great courtesy and kindness with
which we have everywhere been
received, and the assistance which
everyone has been ready to give
uA has greatly facilitated our
studies.
We believe the earthquakes were
due to fractures of the rock in the
northern part of Mona Passage
no far from the northwestern part
Of the Island of Porto Rico, and
that the fracture which caused
the shock of October 11th was
accompanied by a small vertical

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views Of The Forum

The Chicago Tribune:
We have grown accustomed to thinking OF
Americanzing influences In terms Of four
minute men, or what used to be called Fourth OF
July orators. We have thought that few well
chosen words delivered to the accompaniment
of a patriotic band, is about all that is required
to make good Americans out Of our foreign"born
population.
This casual view is, of course, not shared by
persons Of greater insight. They think that flag
waving Is Important but they are more con-
cerned with the fundamental question Of Ian
guage. If a man cannot understand English II
is, from their point OF view, or from any com
mon sense point Of view, almost useless to at
tempt to Americanize him with rhetorical
phrases
The public schools of Chicago have done
commendable service in teaching English to
foreigners. The question arises, however, wheth-
er they have not given too much attention, to the
purely academic phases of language instruction.
We have in mind the case OF young foreigner
who works at night and attends public school
during the day. 1t Is only with difficulty that
his English can be understood; his pronuncia-
tion and his sense of word values are obviously
suggested by his native tongue. Yet he is now
being taught the mysteries OF parsing.
Parsing Is merely the technique of language;
1t bears the same relation to ordinary human In
tercourse that trigonometry bears to the COM
putation Of household expenses The ability to
parse sentence is recondite art that Is Valu-
able in studying a highly infected language,
such as Latin, but it is certainly of rather small
Importance in learning English. But aside from
the merits of this sort Of grammatical instruc-
matical analogy, that the young man is being
taught trigonometry before he has learned the
multiplication table.
The obvious conclusion is that foreigners
should first be taught to speak and write good
English. laymans judgment is that the best
instruction Is afforded by means Of example
The teacher who speaks good English and re-
quros the pupil to read good English will give
the best assistance to the student. The tech
nique of the language may well come later.
Many Of the mot accomplished writers Of Eng
lish hardly know what the word "parsing"
means.
We speak rather gIibly Of America as melt
ing pot but we cannot expect to amalgamate
our foreign born population unless we learn to
teach them English by the most effective
methods.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1918-07-10
COURSES IN MANHOOD.

American women in cities near army
training camps have suddenly discovered
that they no longer have to stand in street
cars. Some man in uniform generally
rises to offer a seat.
That in itself is very minor matter, but
it is significant.
Manners are but reflection Of character.
The man with ''no manners" is almost
invariably the selfish man. The boor
is the man who is thoughtless Of the COM
fort of others.
Good manners" do not necessarily
mean the observance Of all petty rules of
etiquette They consist of thoughtfulness
of the comfort of others.
The American training camps are teach.
ing American youths good manners. They
are turning hoodlums into men; and real
men into better men.
They are teaching the good old
fashioned virtues of plain living, real
democracy, civility, discipline, regular
habits, clean living, personal hygiene, re-
spect for law and order, respect for dis
cipline, and thoughtfulness Of the comfort
of others.
Before the war, Americans abroad were
noted chiefly for their shocking manners,
sef-assertiveness and vulgarity, if news
paper and magazine comment was to be
trusted. After the war, they may be
known for their kindliness, consideration
courage, and courtesy.

TANKS BACK IN FAVOR.

The attack conducted by the Austral-
ians and Americans on July has restored
all the original popularity Of the tanks
among the Allied soldiers.
When the tanks first appeared in Sep
tember, 1916, they were greeted with a
mixture of hilarity and enthusiasm. They
were the butt of many witticisms and the
subject of many wild predictions of early
victory.
Disappointments followed, when it was
seen that the tanks were not invulnerable,
and that they could not accomplish impos-
sibilities.
But the attack Of July has restored
them to favor
Philip Gibbs, the special correspondent
of The New York Times, tells Of the in
tense enthusiasm of the Australians over
the work of the tanks. They cruised over
the battlefield, crushing out machine gun
nests, and clearing the way for the ad-
vance. One little group of tanks alone
captured 30 machine guns and caused the
surrender of 200 prisoners, in addition to
the many Germans who were killed by
their fire.
Bad ground appears to be the worst
enemy of the tanks. In deep mud they are
nearly useless, but on dry ground that has
not been too badly torn by shell fire, they
are priceless.
Speed the day when we have hundreds
Of them for every one we have now-even
the small, rapidly moving jitney tanks, .
carrying but a. driver and machine gun
ner.

land, the principal airplane manufactur-
ers of the British Empire, has laid before
the war department plan to build 10000
great bombing planes in this country and
fly them across the Atlantic. He would
provide landing places at Newfoundland,
the Azores and Portugal, reducing the
longest nonstop flight to about 1900
miles. Along the route he would station
a number Of the older destroyers, cruisers
and gunboats, so that an airplane would
never be more than Is or so miles from
relief. From the air ship would always
be visible at that distance, and the losses
would be reduced to minimum.
He points out that even though the USE
fulness of an airplane without overhaul
ing is limited to about $50 hours flight,
most of the machines would arrive at the
front with good percentage Of their i'm
mediate efficiency left, and the flight
would be little more than good tuning
up" trip.
Even a quarter of that number Of bomb
ing planes, he claims, would destroy the
German fleet and the submarine bases,
and level the great cities along the Rhine
Mr. Workman has gone into the details
of the plan from the standpoint Of prac-
tical manufacturer, and there is every
reason to believe that it will be adopted in
large part at least. Every American
father and mother will vote for that kind
of an offensive in preference to the
wave formations of the Germans.
