CLEANING THE
LANGUAGE

Our growing antipathy to things
German apparently knows no limit
this side Of extirpation. Not content
with barring the German tongue as q
whole from our schools, we are now
proceeding to DOT out words Of Ger
mar origin from language, ever
at the expense of temporary linsu-
istic embarrassment The Parent
Teacher association Of Portland il
done with the word kindergarten"
ana has asked the school board to fnd
SOME other designation for these
schools. Onhand. the development Of
a new word is not so easy a matter,
but no doubt it will be found. If we
are smart 0enough to make VI own
dyes. u own chemicals, optical
glasses and the rest. we should in time
develop some ingenuity Of the tongue
that will enable us to have q lapgu-
age undefiled.
kindergarten IL 4 clumsy German
word at the best. The original Froe.
bel idea had to do with a garden. in
of children, and he in the Teutonie
way damned the words child and
garden together. His system, despite
its many notifications, always car
ried the name he gave to it, to the
annoyance Of q great many people
who never saw the connection be-
tween the word and the idea.
1t will be interesting. however, to
watch the development Of the word to
take its place. Ordinarily language
cannot be altered by main strength -
and the bringing to life Of a new word
for an old object presents many diff
ficulties. In the eastern states objec-
ton has been made to 'sauerkraut,'
not SO much on its merits Al a com
estible, which to some tastes are more
than dubious. but philologically. The
first suggestion, of course, is a literal
translation to sour cabbage but one
i~nstinctively realizes hat this won't
do. The word saur In this connec-
ton Is offensive; It somehow suggests
IN unfitness for human consumption,
something that has ,spoiled." Further
thoughts lead to h process by which
this food il developed, ana we come
to 'fermented cabbage" which might
do were it not 30 cumbersome, and
for the TACT that fermentation is an
activity that 10 rather frowned upon
in these dry days. At this stage Of
the investigation the seeker for the
new word usually quits, leaving the
task for a luckief brother.
The d~elicatessen language of
course, will disappear with the trade
names that are beginning, to appear
to take the place Of the various
tinge to the bills Of fare: 'NViensr-
associated from Vienna, under no
more patriotic suspicion than that
their origin was canine rather than
Viennese, which, in the light Of recent
events, is perhaps q distinction With
out a differences.

He turned and looked down at her.

The Old Lady reached up and pat

There, there!!" And the tall man
stopped down and kissed her.

talking about the Lusttania at the ST. Paul AUDITORIUM

yet 1t must have wrung his heart. And then Lndbursh.
He had no more. than picked LindburRh for governor
before the facts with reference to Lindbergh's war book
were disclosed. More agony. Secretary Joseph Gilbert,s
conVicuon; Randalls conviction: Martins conviction;
Brinton's arrest and Indictment; the huge LindberRh
majority at New Ulm, and now the revelations concern
ing the New York Mail! ossa heaped upon Pelion: grief
piled upon the brow of grief.
It Is no business for ribald jest. Put yourself in

pure patriotism, eternally condemned to association with
snivellers. pacihsts and pro-Germans! Even the hard
hearts of the prohteers must bleed at the sight-st.

When big John Graham stood up in

gasped: 1t va big John Graham who
did SO, and eased her into it gently
and tenderly. When she felt better
she looked up at him and smiled her

Austrian Papers Put
War Blame ON Wilson
Comment on Start of Fifth
Year of War i'm Spirit of
Beilicoseness

AMSTERDAM, July 2S-The semi
official Vienna News Agency to-day
carried in its telegraph report care
fully selected newspaper editorials on
the beginning of the fifth year of the
war All the editorials are couched in
belllcose vein which, it is believed
here, does not reflect the unanimous
opinion of the Austro- Hungarian peo-
pies.
One newspaper, the name of which
was dropped out in transmission, says
President Wilson is the principal
enemy Of peace at the present moment
The newspaper processes horror at the
treatment of pacitists in the United
States, and says the peace question
now truly has become an American
question.
The "Fremdenblatt" and the Vienna
"Allgemeine Zeitung" are cited as Civ
ing their familiar arguments that ths
guilt for the war is not on the side OF
the Central Powers, that Austria Hun
gary is fighting for existence, and that
until the Entente powers abandon thel
designs for the dismem erment of the
monarchy the war must continue.
These newspapers say that the re
suits achieved in the four years of wal
may be regarded with satisfaction and
that the fifth year of the war is en-
tered upon with full confidence.

Plans to Reduce
Telegraph Rates
Will Receive Test
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune J


WASHINGTON, July 29--Plans for
reducing the cost of kilograms in the
United States are being considered by
the Post Office Department. A step
IN this direction will depend on how
much money can be saved by the joint
operation of the telephone. the tele-
graph and the postoificc through the
merger and coordination of these
functions of communication wherever
possible.
1t is known that several members of
the Post Office Committee on Tele-
phones and Telegraph believe a reduc-
tlon in rates can be made if the gov
ernment is allowed to pnt in full
swing its p,ans for combng the SER
vices.
The plans. which the wire officials
have under consideration to enable
them to reduce the rates, are as fol-
lows:
rst..The use of postage stamps in
paying for kilograms, by which much
bookkeeping will be eliminated and
credit accounts will be abolished.
Second-The utilization of the postal
machinery for handling the finances
OF the telegraph and telephone COM
panies in the cities and towns. thereby
affecting big saving in operating
expenses.
Third-A reduction in operating ex-
penses by abolshing large number Of
hlgh-salaried Offices, as has been done
in the railroad administration, and by
having one local manager for the tel
egraph and the telephone in a city.

All Iron and Steel
Must Be Saved for
Essential War Work
u. S. Board Tells Industries
They Must Prepare to
Comply With Order

WASHINGTON. July 2S.-That pro-
duction Of American steel mills will be
applied only to essential uses under a
general policy as to the use of iron and
steel during the war was announced to-
day by the War Industries Board.
Manufacturers, jobbcrs and retailers
in iron and steel, described by the
board as "now the worlds most pre-
cious metal" are asked to guard dis
trihution so that there may be no viola
ton of the spirit of the policy.
Curtallmcnt of industries using iron
and steel will be made effective, the
board said, WITH as little disturbance to
industries as warn requirements will
permit.
All Industries Involved
"A portion at least of the product of
nearly every industry may be properly
CLASSIFIED as direct or indirect war re-
qulremont or essential to the civil pop
lat'on, but in many the percentage Of
non-esscntiality prcdominates," says
the boards announcement. "On the
other nand, nearly every industry, in
Guiding so-called war industries, has
percentage of none essentialitv in their
production.
ut is the policy of the War Indus
tries Board to take counsel with each
industry, determine the extent to whcn
1T can and should as a war measure
curtail it's production, and particularly
curtal it's consumption of iron and
steel, limiting It's output to essential
uses as tar as practicable. but without
destroying or unnecessarily injuring
any industry or legitimate business" :"
More Steel Demanded
The present and constantly incrcas-
ing steel requir ,ments. the board saws,
of the American government and its
allies for direct and indirect war needs
are 50 enormous as to absorb virtually
all of the constantly expanding rroduc-
ing capacity Of the country These
demands must always be met 100 per
cent and promrtiy.
"The result is obvious" the boards
announcement adds. "Therc will be
comparatively little iron and steel left
to distribute to those industries en-
gagged in non-war work and to CON
sumers for application to non-war

Rich Russians Wait
On Fable for Food
Petrograd Rations Cut TO Min
imum and Menu Is on
Scanty Basis
Correspondence Of The Associated Press)

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
PETROGRAD, June 11.-An indica-
ton of the straits to which former
wellto- do inhabitants of Petrograd
have been brought by the scarcity Of
food is the formation of a cooperative
society to conduct a restaurant. Here
the "intelligencia," or former bour-
geoisie, do their own cooking and wait
ing on the table. A person who proves
himself a former "bourgeoisie," and is
needy, may, if he surrenders all his
food cards except that for bread, thus
taking his chances of getting any other
meals, secure one meal day for 212
rubles a meal This consists Of thin
soup and meat stew.
In the better class restaurants.
which in some way manage to get
food, dinner costs forty rubes. The
meal generally consists of about two
gils of thin soup, a bit of fish (the
most plentiful food in Petrograd), a
thin, quail-like bird, a bit of bread
the size of a postage stamp, few
thimbesful of sweet, gluey substance,
and coffee without milk. This is the
best to be had in the city.
