Misdemeanor to Use Hun Language

Chicago, May 1S-The town Of
Brookfield, near here, is but small
place with small population, but il
is 100 per cent American. 1t does
not want, and will not tolerate, any
thing that smacks OF the German.
In line with other cities and towns
throughout the country, Brookfield
has headed the popular demand for
the discontinuance of the teaching of
the German language in its schools.
There wasn't the least bit of arguing
when the matter cameu p before the
village trustees. The German Ian
guage was voted out of the public
school in ''jiffy." They didn't put
1t off week, or a month or even a
day-the matter was disposed of
right then.
And then the city pilots went fur
Their. They not only passed an ordi-
nance forbidding the teaching of the
German language in the schools, but
making it a misdemeanor to use the
German language in any way, within
the boundaries of the village.

Washington, May 16.-Announce-
ment by Premier -Clemenceau news

tons of last January before the SEN
ate military committee.
The exact nature OF any promises

closed FOR military reasons. Mr.. Bak-

Senate committee the United States
would have I-o million men in France
early in the year and a million more
ready to go within the year provided
shipping facilities were available.
Announcement that the first part of
his prediction has been more than
fulfilled was made some time ago.

er of the prediction is to be fulfilled |
indicates that shipping difficulties are
on the way to solution and that the |
years program of I-2 million fight
ing men on the soil of France before

Northwestern Chronicle, St. Paul.

Archbishop Ireland's influence
reached far beyond his diocese. For
thirty years his leadership was &C
cepted in the ideals of the rising
American Catholic generation. He
stood for temperance, social better
ment (colonization) and patriotism.
His Americanism, particularly his OPP
position to Cahenslyism, probably cost
him a seat in the College of Cardinals,
but not in the galaxy of American
immortals.

As churchman, statesman and
orator, Archbishop Ireland was a
world figure. His culture and counsel
were potent in shaping public affairs
in Europe, as we'll as in America. He
was the uncompromising foe of the

as destructive to American institu-

Archbishop Ireland had long been
one of the foremost men of the coun-

the spokesman of the Catholic Church:
but the event which brought him most
prominently before the American peo-

opposition which he steadfastly eX,

country into factions by the appoint

spoke for the Church to the American
people when questions of national inn
port were to the front. And he could
always be depended upon to speak
accurately and well. In recent years
his statements on the so-called Sep
aration Law in France and on the
Roosevelt incident in Rome will be
remembered as those that were the
most widely read and did much to set
Americans right on these matters.
Whenever Archbishop Ireland spoke
his words were eagerly listened to by
all Americans.

Strong, eagle-hearted, with his eyes
ever turned towards eternal truth,
and meeting unfinchingly error and
wrong, and condemning them with all
the power of his lofty soul, Archbishop

fearless attitude was powerful factor
in winning for her, in this great Re-

honor which are hers today.
