The real danger of permitting the
free use of foreign languages was not
realized until the war broke out.
Then it was discovered that we had
1,243, 8O1 alien males registered un-.
der the selective draft law. Should
thu draft ages be extended, making
it from 18 to as years, we would
have over three millions of aliens,
and "a per cent of them would be un-
able to understand military training
in the American language. Not only
this, but 81 per cent of the men en-
ployed in our steel and iron production
are of foreign birth; 81 per cent of
our coal miners, and over 66 per cent
of our men employed in construction
and maintenance work of our trans
portation lines are foreign-born. With
over one-third of them unable to in
telligently understand the American
language, or comprehend orders given
them they are a menace to the safety
of the general pnblic. In the words
OF II. n. wheaton, chairman OF the
executive committee of the national
committee of one hundred "In war or
peace the unity Of people depends
upon a community of language, ideals
and citizenship I" 1t is for this rea-
son that congress is considering IAN
appropriation of several millions of
dollars to be used for the education of
aliens in the use of the American Ian
guage. 1t is time for every commu-
nifty to cooperate in this work, and
the ministers, if they are loyal, should
be leaders in pushing it along. We
can have sympathy for The new immi
grant who is unable to understand the
language of his country, but those
who have lived here for generation,
and are still ignorant of the language
of their country, evidently do not
properly prize the privileges of being
American citizens.

istration to this end. The consery8.
ton measures have been put through
practically on q voluntary basis which
is regarded as splendid tribute to
the patriotism of the American people.

year, as compared with our meat ex.'

ments," Mr. Hoover wrote President
Wilson, (which were in the main pur.
chased through or with collaboration
of the Food Administration, amount
to, roundly, $1,400,OOO,O00 during thu
fiscal year."
In 1916-17 the United States sent
the Allies 2,16e,500,O0O pounds OF
meat. In 1917-18, with voluntary con.
servation practiced in America, and
aided by extra weight of animals, we
sent the Allies 2,O11, 100000 pounds OF
meat, an increase of 844,600,OO0
pounds.
Wheat Saving Enormous.
When the Food Administration be-
this country was facing large deficit
in wheat. Counting in all carry-over
wheat from the 1916 crop, we had at
the beginning of the 1917 harvest year
just enough wheat to take care of
Americas normal consumption,-not q
bushei Of surplus.
At the close of the 1918 harvest
year the Food Administrations official
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments to the other side had been
l41,OOO,OOO bushels. Every bushel
shipped was wheat saved by the
American people from their normal
consumption.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations were
34OSOO,0OO bushels, sO,900,000 bushels
more than the amount sent in 1867.
Included in these figures are 13,900,.
900 bushels of rye and the 141 100000
bushels Of saved wheat. In addition
we sent the neutrals dependent on us
100000 bushels of prime breadstuffs.
"rhese figures do not fully convey
the volume of the effort and sacrifice
made during the past year by the
whole American people," the Food Ad.
ministrator wrote. 81 am sure that
all the millions Of our people, agricul.
tural as well as urban, who have con.
tributed to these results should feel
very definite satisfaction that in a
year Of universal food shortages in
the Northern Hemisphere, all Of those
people joined together against Ger
many came through to the new har-
vest, not only with health and strength
fully maintained, but with only tenn
porary periods OF hardship.

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring. Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop In Europe and the lack Of
ocean tonnage to move stocks Of cane
sugar isolated in far away ports.
Granulated sugar, home grown, was
being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents pound.
The price Of brown sugar In Lisbon.
Portugal, fixed by governmental order,
was $1.04 to SLIP a pound.
BY comparison the price Of best
sugar In Sweden is IL csntsa pound. !

conduct religious services in the Ger-s
man language to one congregation OF
some of such congregations unless
such permit were. granted to all of.
such congregations, which would be
contrary to the intents and purposes
of said Order No. 4; therefore.
Be It Resolved by the Executive
Committee Of the Bon Homme County
Council of Defense, that no eLecial
permits to conduct religious services
in the German language shall be
granted or recommended in any of the
German churches within said county
other than the permit for a l5-min-

Relating to Prices for Threshing
Grain:
Whereas, prices have been estab.
lished at a meeting of the thresher-
men of Bon Homme County for thresh-
ing grain during the 1913 season, and
said meeting having been held at the
request of the Federal Food Admins
tration and Council of Defense for the
purpose Of co-ordinating and adopting
measures to avoid wasting of grain in
the process of threshing. and the pub
lication of the prices 80 established
having appeared in conjunction with
the rules and regulations for the saw
ing of grain, thus conveying the i'm
preston that such prices were offic-
Tally adopted by the Food Administra-
tion and the Council Of Defense; and
Whereas, considerable difference Of
opinion appears to exist as to what
Fehould constitute fair and just prices
for the threshing of grain, and. the
conditions being different in various
localities with respect to quality of
grain, efficiency and capacity of
threshing rigs. and also with respect
to shock threshing and stack thresh-
ing, thus making it impracticable,
without thorough investigation and
due consideration, to fix any uniform
prices which would be equitable to
meet all conditions; therefore,
| Be it Resolved by the Executive
Committee Of the Bon Homme County
Council of Defense that the prices as
established by the threshermen shall
not be sanctioned or adopted as Official
or as authorized by the Council, but
that the Council for the time being
+, maintain neutral attitude until fur
ther investigation, and that unless and
until the County Council shall fix and
adopt prices to be charged for thresh-
ing, such prices shall be left open for
adjustment and agreement between
each thresherman and the respective
farmers for whom he shall do thresh-
ing.
