extravagantly as we once praised
them. But this is natural pro-
cess. Eventually we shall swing
back to the sane, middle viewpoint,
in which we can distinguish clearly
between the good and the bad IN
German life. literature, art, govern
mcnt. etc, choosing the one and ac-
cepting the other without prejudice
That calm viewpoint will come OF
its own accord. in calmer times.
For the present, it is well to let crlti-
cism run its course.
There are certainly no good argu-
mcnts for the present study OF Ger
man. along the old lines. in this
country 1t is true that German Is
still taught in French schools. But
the situation there is different.
France is Germany's neXtdoor
neighbor. The French explain that
they are obliged to know the Ger
man language in order to under
stand what those dangerous enc
mics next door are doing. The only
possible parallel in America would
be the general study OF German Tor
the sake OF knowing what is being
SAID and done by our German lmmi-
grants and what is printed IN our
own German-language; and that
seems hardly worth the trouble.
Besides. we don't want to German
i7e Americans--we want TO Ameri-
canize Germans.
The business reason so often CIV
en- is OF little more weight. After
the war, we are told, we shall want
to do business with the Germans
again. and will therefore find the
language valuable. And the OBJ
vous retort is. Let the Germans
learn English" They speak it read
ily enough now, on the battle front
vixen they seek to deceive our own
troops. They can speak it if they
want to do business with US here
after.
English is already the dominating
language Of the world. 1t is spoken
by far greater numbers than Ger
man. 1t is universally recognized
outside OF Germany, as superior to
German in the richness OF its litera-
ture, and in D usefulness as a
spoken tongue, easily learned by all
races.
Wherefore. We repeat. let Ger
mans. here and everywhere else.

THE WAR NEWS.

Can the war news be trusted =
is question often asked by news
paper readers. And the answer is:
at can. Now and then an over
jealous or overworked editor may
write a headline that doesn't convey
the precise truth regarding 4 vic
tory or defeat. But even in such
cases the reader may expect to find
the real situation presented candidly
and accurately if he reads through
the war dispatches under the head
line.
II was not always so. Correspond
ertS invariably seek to learn and
write the truth. But in the carly
day, OF the war il was very hard for
them to get at the facts, because the
military authorities put obstacles in
tho way. The authorities learned
better, and that difficulty was van
i,hcd
Before battle begins" writes
one OF the war reporters in France,
the correspondents are taken into
the confidence of the army. They
are called into conference with high
officers. who tell them exactly what
is going to be attempted what
troop viii be engaged and what
objective, viii be sought. 1t is
probable that on the night before a
big offensive the correspondents
know more about the operation
planned, a> 4 whole. than do many
uf the brigade commanders And
as the battle proceeds the corre
Spondents are likewise kept in
formed. They are seldom permit
ted to send home all they know, or
a quarter OF what they know. about
the situation. But what they do
send is trustworthy
This confidential procedure is pos F.
siblc as the writer explains, because
none OF the correspondents violate
the faith placed in them. No group /
OF men in the world is more fully F.
t;usted, or has proved more worthy
OF the trust.
