GONE LANGUAGE

Il wish you could read some Of the
letters that have been written to us
by pro-German men and women who
ordered The Union stopped because it
stands UP for this country in the pres
ent war; writes w. D. Hoard, former
governor Of Wisconsin, in his news
paper, The Jefferson County Union
eff we published those letters show
ing their abject ignorance Of the COM
mon language Of this country it would
subject them to the ridicule and scOrn
Of all right thinking people Where
We're these people educated? Some Of
them were born in this country. They
were educated in the church school,
kept there to learn German till they
were too large to go into the lower
classes where they belonged il they
attended the public school and so,
made ashamed Of their ignorance, they
have refused to attend the public
school and write us letters composed
in such wretched ignorance in many
cases that we could hardly make out
their meaning. Who is responsible
for the setback of these people? The
German preachers and priests are re-
sponsible and the parents are so COM
pletely under their control that they
are willing to see their children made
ignorant of our language so that they
cannot even write a decently compos-
ed letter, and they write us rebuking
us for being Americans in this strug-
gle with Germany. Think Of it! There
ought to be only one language taught
in any school, public or parochia1, up
to the 9Th grade in this country. And
that ought to be the American Ian

'The fighting wing Of the defense movement"
is the way in which Theodore Roosevelt clearly
at the very forefront of patriotic Americans Of
vision, courage and candor, described the Ameri-
can Defense Society in accepting the honorary
presidency of that organization, which is en-
gagged in an energetic campaign against sedition
plotters, spies, and all forms of pro-German &C
tivity in this country. 81 hope to see this soci-
ety-this aggressive fighting society circulate
the documents which will both arouse us to the
need Of action and show us the necessity of fight
ing this war through until it is crowned by a
peace Of overwhelming triumph for the right"
declared Mr. Roosevelt in his first message to
his fellow members.
1t is necessary to show our people what Ger
man domination has meant in Belgium and north
ern France. the hideousness Of what has been
done to Serbia, to Roumania, what it will meal
for mankind to see triumph by a nation (which,
to use theological terms, is to apply the ethics Of
Genghis Khan and Timor the Tartar to interna-
tonal relations with back of it all the resources
of civilization ingeniously turned to destruction
instead of construction. That is what we have
seen Germany do"
No citizen of the country today is performing
more praisewOrthy service than Col. ROose-
welt. Never has his courage failed; and, while
years ago he was urgently pleading for great
er army and navy, how incomparably fOresighted
was his judgment,-how pitifully, palteringly
weak were nearly all his contemporaries
Roosevelt was right, the rest were wrong
terribly, disastrously wrong
Now he stands superbly indicated, and today
his opinions must be respected as never before.

WE MUST 'FOLLOW-UP"

The story of the Gallipoi withdrawal is tale
Of inadequate support. Like Salamanders cling
ing to the red-hOt bars of fiery furnace, the
boys of New Zealand and Australia chung to the
slopes of Anzac. Desperately, heroically they
chung. No troops under any circumstances ever
displayed greater sodierly qualities or upheld
more sacredly the best traditions Of England's
Army. But they had to withdraw because the
"follow-up" was not there.
To some of us it has been given to march with
the columns Of troops that go to France. But
he who marches and he who stays is equally a
citizen of the worlds mightiest republic and
equally responsible for it's success in this great
est Of undertakings.
Then let us at home turn from our flag waving
and consider how necessary we are, how useful
we must be. Those who go to fight cannot hope
to win by naked bravery and we cannot hope to
win unless every individual at home does all he
can. We must have no Gallipoi.-BeIl Telephone
