Claiming the Tongue.

German authorities have imposed a fine upon
Alsatian children who insist upon speaking the
French language and refuse to study the beautiful
German language" We quote the last FIVE words
from the Hun official sentence.
The Alsatian kiddies speak French because their
mothers and fathers French and because their
ancestors from time immemorial have spoken French
because they love French. And they refuse to
study the German language because it is in that
language that the foulest blots that ever stained
humanity and civilization are conceived, lauded
and executed.
We have here sample of what Germany would
do to US If we lose this Our children will be
compelled to study this beautiful" language of
conquerors and they will be fined if they speak
our language
Is there still an American school, public or pri-
vate, high school college, in which the "beauti-
full" language is taught? If that school doesn't
watch out some fine morning will see the Kaiser
handing it iron for its assistance in help
ing Hun autoerats spread the doctrine Of Hun
kultur.

Cousins German.

Pierre and / were, cousins;
His mother sister to mine.
Ny home was In the fatherland
Pierre's, just across the line.
Across the line that man made
God drew no difference there;
And together we played in childhood
When the world was free from care.
Together we grew to manhood,
Like brother was Pierre to me;
No blither lad, no truer heart
No nobler soul than he.
And then one day our ruler spoke
Pierre was made my foe;
And l must don my uniform
And to the carnage 60.
We marched across that man-made line
To pillage, burn and kill;
I saw Pierre nailed to the wall
OF his cottage on the hill. .--
With sickening heart 1 turned asay -.
. And cursed in bitter ire
The emperor brute who drove us forth
To set the world on FIRE.

Don't let US have horrors because
our brothers and boys are to be put
within reach Of cigarettes. They win
handle the problem themselves, and
even II they learn to smoke, isn't this
better than a lot Of things they
might do? Why not be reasonable? {?
In fact, we say the cranks had bet
ter get reasonable because this army
Of men now fighting for our liberty
are going to see that We are reason
able. You may look for this to come
out Of this great thing abroad-a tol-
erance borne Of the effort to stamp
out the vile intolerance which his
heliishness. the Kaiser. has buRt up
on the other side Of the water.
And these same young warriors
from abroad, We might add. will
make up the legislatures Of the fu-
ture. 1t will not do to suppress them
too muoh- II will not do to assume
that they are infants and incapable
Of self-government when they have,
In fact. shown themselves to be the
men Of the hour in going abroad to
fight the arch foe OF mankind. They
are coming back filled with great,

ideas they vii work into our laws

Academic German.

The Board of Education has voted to abolish
the teaching of the German language from the
curriculum of the public schools of Washington.
The Washington Herald commends the Board
OF Education for its patriotism, and reterates that
this paper is opposed to everything German-and
what is more completely German than the Ger.
man language itself?
1t is to be regretted that the vote of the board
not unanimous. Eight affirmative votes were
cast and one was negative-that of Dr. H. Barrett
Learned
In explanation of his vote DR.. Learned said in
part:
1T is true that here and there a teacher or a
textbook may be imbued with some subtitle form
OF Prussianism but this sort of influence is being
speedily Offset if not actually eradcated, by our
virile and aroused Americanism."
DIR. Learneds defense is an academic defense
AT this time scholarly viewpoint of the German
language is unfortunate.
Admitting that German was language of the
student and the accomplished, is it such now and
will it maintain that position after the war with
the inbred hatred which generations to come will
hold against Germany?
What is more characteristic OF a nation than her
tongue. If some (German) books may be imbued
not reservedly believe that Germany would not
stop at some"
A We have learned enough OF Germany to know
at her treachery. miltarism, murder halts at
othing.

FOURTH OF JULY

1t was a glorious Fourth in Seattle and
the quintescence Of sanity. Whether $780,
600 or 100000 in numbers Seattle's entire
population resolved itself into one magnifi-
cent get-together for a general good time
and though they were assembled here and
there the spirit of good will ran from group
to group and taking it all in all it was
truly day Of peace and patriotism. Had
some one advanced the idea some years
ago that Fourth of July celebration could
be pulled off in Seattle without spending
multiplied thousands of dollars for fire
works and fire water such person would
have been laughed to scorn, but it was
done last Thursday and a more satisfied

seen. Like the little colored boys yves

Logging railroad porters, dining-car walters

The hotel has been raided three or four
times within the last month, and those
who were caught in the various raids were
readily furnished bond by the proprietor.
The charge on which Moore is now being
threatened with arrest is the aiding of
people who are suspected of crime, to
escape The authorities say that the hotel
is fitted out with a well-equipped electric
system of bells and signals, and whenever
the officers any suspicious characters
appear the signals are flashed to all parts
of the hotel and when the visitors are adj
mitted, instead Of finding a regular gambl-
ing den, a scene representing social
gathering, tall1-fest, or an innocent game OF

against the maner in which this hotel has

ties but so great was the 'stand-in'' of
the prOprietOrs that no attention was paid
to the complaints In a number Of instances
it is said, letters written by citizens to the
chief of police and other officials have been
turned over to the hotel propretors.

are out to clean up the town, the Golden

TILLMAN HAS AN ADVOCATE

In another column hereof we take the

never came out, but along comes Scott
Bcne. editor of the P.-I., and pens out an
eulogy on his Pitchfork Nibbs that made
of him, while in the height Of his fame, an
angel without wings. Whoever sees or saw
good in Tilman, from our viewpoint, is
either crazy or Of a like mentality as was
Tllman. We nor no one else believes for
a single minute that Scott Bone is crazy,
yea, verify, he is not, and not being crazy
he must share the revolutionary ideas of
Tllman, and this we do not doubt for
a wholly second, if reports concerning Mr.
Bones early life be true Men of repute,
who have had occasions to look up the
history of the Bone family, say he was
born and grew to manhood in the state of
Indiana, and was not only a Democrat,
but was Knight of the Golden Circle
which placed him on a par with a member
of the deadly order of the Ku-Klux Khan
Of which Ben Tillman was a past grand
master. Scott Bone, if reports be true,
was not contaminated with the virus of
the Golden Circle disease, but inherited it
from his father, who was a chief of chiefs
of the members thereof If all this be true,
and we do not doubt it, then it's plain to
be seen how Editor Bone is able to see so
much good in man that rose to such
heights of political prominence on the bodies
of dead men, women and children which
he and his cohorts murdered from ambush
that they might control the politics of the
state and nation. The mission of the
knights Of the Golden Circle was to shoot
the Yankee soldiers in the back, destroy
their homes while they were fighting the
common enemy, and to throw stumbling
blocks in the road Of loyal legislators. It
was the mission of the Ku-Klux- Khan, III
NANTES, to kill men drive others from their
homes and intimidate others in hundred
and one different ways for the express
purpose of enabling the Southern rebels to
again get in control of the Z. s. Govern
ment. The Knights of the Golden Circle
had like purpose and it is perfectly
natural that a progeny of a member Of the
order can only see good even at the Ma
tional Capitol in a Ku-KluX-Klan chieftian.
1t took Rome four hundred years to die
and southern rebeldom is making just as
game fight for existence as did dying
Rome and Editor Bone is doing his bit.

Washington, D. c., June 22-Formal de-
NAL OF reports circulated in this country
presumably by German agents, that Negro
soldiers with the American expeditionary
forces are being given more dangerous work
than the white troops was cabled to the
War Department yesterday by Gen. PERISH
ing. The message said the Negroes were in
high spirits and that their only complaint
was that they were not given more active
service.
Gen. Pershing said he could not "com-
mend too highly the spirit shown among
the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine
capacity for quick training and eagerness
for the most dangerous work.
The generals cablegram, which was in
reply to one of injury sent by Secretary
Baker, said:
''The stories probably invented by Ger
man agents, that colored soldiers in France
are always placed in most dangerous posi-
tons and sacrificed to save white soldiers
that when wounded they are left on the
ground to die without medical attention,
etc. are absolutely false
1.-The following are the losses as reported
up to June Is in the four colored combatant
regiments now in France: The 369th in
fantry-died Of wounds, 3; died of disease,
S; severely wounded, 2. The 37Oth infantry
died Of wounds, none; died Of disease, 3;
severely wounded, none. The 371st in
fantry-died of wounds, none; died Of dis
ease 8; severely wounded, none. The 372nd
infantry-died Of wounds, none; died Of
disease, 3; severely wounded, none. These
figures show conclusively that Negro troops
gerous as those occupied by white troops
and that their physical condition is excel
lent.
"A tour Of inspection just completed
among American Negro troops by officers Of
the training section of these headquarters
show the comparatively high degree Of
training and efficiency among these troops.
Their training is identical with that of other
American troops serving with the French
army the effort being to lead all Ameri-
can troops gradually to heavy combat duty
by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet
sectors.
''Colored troops in trenches have been
particularly fortunate as one regiment had
been there month before any losses were
suffered. This was almost unheard Of on
