FIGHT AGAINST
GERMAN PAPERS
National Security League Starts
Crusade for Their Elimination.
Together With the Teach
ing of German.

A vigorous campaign to bring about
the elimination of the teaching of Ger
man in the public schools Of the coun
Try and to obtain the dlscontinuafice
of the publication of newspapers print
ed in German has been launched by
the National Security League. To or
ganize its effort for these ends the
League has formed Committee on
Foreign Language and Foreign Press,
which will carry the fight into every
nook and corner of the United States.
The Committee is composed of Col.
Charles r. Lydecker. member of the
Board of Trustees of the College of
the City of New York and Chairman
of the National Security Leagues
Board of Directors; Edward Fl. Clark,
Treasurer of the Security League /;
Ernest G: Brown. well known New
York editor and publisher, and DR..
Robert NJ. McElroy, Educational diree-
tor of the National Security League
under leave of absence from Princeton
University, where he is head of the
Department of History and Politics.
Stop Advertising.
The principal basis of the Commit
tees campaign against German news
papers will be the obtaining of the dis
continuance of advertising in them.
Col. Lydecker's committee has laid
the following plan of campaign before
the Chairmen and Secretaries of all
the PSI branches of the Security
League:
There is no immediate need to
nave laws enacted to suppress the
foreign language dailies. In towns
where there is strong patriotic senti-
ment hostile minority should be per-
suaded by clear and forceful express.

ours must be, from this time forward.

"See Our Mistake"
IF a community will not support
newsdealer who handles the daily "a.
pers printed in foreign tongues It can
thereby force him to deal only In Eng
fish language papers.
Recognizing general willingness
to be patriotic and the rapid acoui.
escence from many quarters to compel
the use of English dailies, we urge
reasonably active measures on the part
OF the branches of the League. Jus-
tice requires this, for the fault does
not lie wholly with the alien. We have
falled hitherto to provide the machin-
cry OF education which the welding
process required We have counte-
nanced and even encouraged the idea
OF preserving linguistic and racial
groups In our midst. AT last we see
our mistake, and we must correct II as
speedily as justice will allow.
But we must not forget and We
must not allow alien enemies to for
get, that this is time of war. Ouick
processes of producing unity are iusti-
NED by the peril of those institutions
which we hold in trust for all human
ity. 'a

Is REJECTED

Robert E. Starr, who was among the recent draftees sent to Fort McDOw- ell, California, was rejected because under weight. One of the boys re- ported that "Red" was three ounces too light for the soldier stuff and was sent home to take on enough flesh to bring him up to standard. The young fellows who have been unable to make the army or some branch of the serv- ice feel that nature and Uncle Sam is not treating them just right. But they have no reason to feel that way, as there are a thousand and one ways that they can help Uncle Sam in this war against kaiserism. Even us old fellows who have long since passed beyond the possibility of draft, will be able to do our bit in some way be- fore this great war is over.

COMMANDEER METALS

The government has taken over all the stocks of iridium, platinum and palladium held by the jewellers and re- liners, paying big prices for same. Platinum is paid for at the rate of $1O0 per ounce, palladium $135 per ounce and iridium $175 per ounce. An effort is being made to speed up the production of these metals, as they are necessary in war work. Other war metals will also soon be brought un- der government control, especially tungsten and molybdenum. These metals will enter largely into the man. ufacture of high speed steel and ord nance.

"One thing about this bunch of Kingmanites that makes me sore," says Doc the Duc:l, "is their internal habit of getting cold feet before they have gone anywhere.
 "A while back" says Doc, "we had a good spirit of getting hold of this .recuperation camp scheme and keep ing the iron hot, but it seems that now somebody has said that no more soldiers is going to get wounded any more, so they have decided that there will be no more camps built, and bet ter not waste time.
 "Along this line," says the duckling, "I was talking to Sergeant Hicks and his two fellow soldiers the other night and they told me that they enjoyed the climate around Kingman better than any since they have left France. When a fellow gets dose of that hun gas and then gets to a climate that makes him feel better than ever before, better give the climate a chance and boost it.
 "This war ain't over yet, fellows; more men will be wounded and inval- ided home and not only that, the gov ernment is going to build more places for the boys and let's all get ready for one to come to Kingman, the little burg in the hills with the greatest eli mate in all the known world.

Citizen, Tells How Plant
Juice Has Restored
His Health

The word medicine is one OF the
most abused in the English language.
There are certain medicinal proper
ties Just as necessary to health as the
food we eat. Take. for example, the
we'll known herbal stomach remedy,
Plant Juice. This famous medicine con-
tains medicinal components Just as
vital and essential to a healthy body
as the elements of food that one par
takes of at his daily meals.
Every day Plant Juice is proving
this assertion as attested by testi-
monials of we'll known Birmingham
people who have suffered for years
with stomach, liver and kidney trout

ailment, rheumatism.
