IN BELGIAN SCHOOLS.

n>HERE are two kinds of Belgian schools
i In the one kind German teachers teaching
German to Belgian school children too young TO be
enslaved workers. and who forced by German au-
hority to learn the German language and fed Ger
man "kultur."
In the other kind of Belgian schools those few near
the battlelino there Belgian teachers and Belgian
children are gathered up from ruined homes and Hun
devastated areas Here the kddes are fed lodged and
educated
These children sit at their rough desks bend their
books studying away hard they BY the side
OF each desk hangs maskl
For the Huns take keen delight in bombardins
these Belgian school houses with poison gas. To
the lives Of the kddes the allied governments have
loaned them gas masks. Every in a while there
is signal each child drops his books and hurredly
dons the gas mask After the Of poisonous death
has swept them they remove their masks and go
on with their studies-unless they killed.
Now dear fellow Americans, do you think that those
Belgian children who beaten into learning German
in their German-controlled schools will want TO study
German after peace restores the whole Of Belgium 20
Begians2 VIII they ever want their children to study
German?
And. will those other little tots who have 10 have
gas masks hanging ready near their desks ever
want to study German language literature any
thing German, after peace to them and Hun poison
gas never again can frghten all of them and kill
of them?
No, thousand time no.
These school children will have had enough Of Ger
man.
And yet there are many Americans, many Delawsr-
cans who would like to have a continuance Of the
teaching Of the American public and private
schools and our.instituons OF higher learning.
The only difference between our children and these
Belgian children is that it easier for the Huns TO
get TO Belgium than to America. If the United States
had been as small and as Germany children
would have TO have gas masks hanging by their school
this very day Others of little would be
taught German by German teachers in schools con-
trolled by German military commanders.
German is the language OF nation that has shown
itself Of the most mercess boodthirsty bestia
and hypocritioal in the history of the world
II those Americans and Delawareans who want Ger
man continued as American study find themselves
up against American opinion, why should they not
gest the gentle compromise that Apache Sioux be
substituted for German in schools

Hundreds of Thousands of Workers
Inflated Into the Income Tax Class
(From the New York sun

are supposed to have been granted
merely to keep up with the higher
cost Of living makes no difference in
the way the Garner Of the higher wages
is caught i'm the income tax lines. All
must be grist for the mill. Kitchin
had the nerve 10 declare he never
would lower the income tax line suf-
flciently TO catch them, but he will
never have the nerve TO keep raising
and raising the income tax line so that
they can't get in, although they are
being swiftly inflated by hundreds or
thousands into the income tax class.
This Is o matter of vast importance
TO the nation and to the world, whose
fate hangs upon our part in the war.
The thinking minds OF the country al
ways knew that if Kitchin took every
penny Of the rich mans income, every
penny OF the well-tO-dO mans income,
10 would not be enough altogether to
finance the war for more than a few
weeks. The thinking minds OF the
country always knew that if he took
all the earnings Of the corporations il
would not be enough altogether 10
finance the war for more than few
weeks. Every thinking mind always
knew that the big proportion, the over
whelming proportion, of the national
income, which is the cOuntry's produc-
ttiOn, goes TO the American people as a
mass. Everybody knew but Kitchin.
Yet neither with a low income taA
exemption nor with general consump-
tion taxes would this revenue creating
genius go TO the field where the rev.
enues were and where they will be
namely. to the American people.
Secretary McAdOO Of American is not
economically crOss-eyed. He has seen
it all from the beginning. He has fore
casted it to the end. So, although he
could not get Mr.. Kitchin Of Scotland
Neck, n. c., to see the truth or to ad-
NIT 1t when he saw 1t, the secretary
still did not become unduly excited even
when panic burst over Washington at
the news that the war in this fiscal
year would require several billion dOl-
lars more than Washington had esti-
mated. No doubt when we begin to
hear from the Senate we shall find that
there are minds as clear there as In
the Treasury Department. No doubt
the Senate will not try to close mills
and factories and .foundries, but will
try to keep them open. No doubt the
Senate viii recognize that all Amer
leans, men OF big incomes and men Of
little incomes, wish to dedicate to the
winning Of this war all the taxes they
can pay, but that IL is sheer fool bus
mess for the government to tax men,
TO tax industries, to tax anything out
Of taxable existence.
Yet, even If the Senate cannot sue
coed in putting reason and safety and
effectiveness into the reven"s measure

DELAWARE AND THE DRAFT.

From the Milford Chronicle.
Since the first draft law was passed
by Congress the little State OF Della
ware has registered a total OF approx
lmately $1,000 men for military serv-
ice. The registration of this portion
of the male citizenship of the State
does not mean that all Of these men
will be called for active military duty.
In fact, the very large portion Of the
registrants will be placed in deferred
classes by the local and district boards,
and the proportion called will in all
possibility be small The government
wants men for military service who
can best be spared from the 'commun-
ity and IL is for this purpose that the
draft ages were raised TO take men be-
tween the ages Of iS and 45 years in
elusive. Within these ages there are
large numbers of men who are doing
practically nothing to support either
their families, or TO produce things
which are Of benefit to the community.
These men may expect a call for mill
tary service.

STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO ACIDIIY
Tells Safe. Certain, Speedy Relief fs
Acid Indigestion.

So-called stomach troubles, such as IN.
digestion, gas. sourness, stomach-ache and
inability to retain food are In probably
nine cases out OF ten, simply evidence
that excessive secretion Of acid is taking
place in the stomach, causing the forma-
tion Of gas and acid Indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and causes
that full, oppressive, burning feeling some
times known as heartburn. while the acid
irritates and inhames the delicate lining
Of the stomach, The trouble lies entirely
in the excess development OF secretion OF
acid
To stop or prevent this souring Of tha
food contents Of the stomach and to neuI
tTaiizc the acid, and make IL bland and
harmless, a teaspoonful Of bisurated mag.
nesis a good and effective corrector ok
acid stomach, should be tak--s In a quar-
ter Of a glass OF hot or cold water after
eating or whenever gas sourneps or acid
ity is felt. This sweetens the stomach
and neutralizes the acidity in a few mos
ments and is a perfectly harmless and
inexpensive remedy to use.
An antiacid, such as bisurated macnesia
which can be obtained from any druggist
In either powder or tablet form, enables
the stomach TO do its work properly with
out the aid OF artificial digestants Mag,
nesia comes in several forms, so be GER
tain TO ask for and take only Bisurated
