Learn Russian and :
Be of Service in
Reconstruc, ion Days

Washington, June 2t.-"Why not
learn Russian? 1t isn't nearly so diff
ficult as is popularity supposed anu
America needs for the war today and
the commercial reconstruction after
the war a la.ge number Of intelligent
citizens who can use the language"
Question, suggestion and patriotic
reasoning are made on the response
bility of the United States bureau OF
education, on the staff OF which LIZ.
Glen Levin Swtsgett has been con-
Quoting expert Investigation into tine
possibility Of equpping larger num-
bers Of Americans with languages and
information that will fit them to sus-
tain and rebuild the fabric of inter-
national relationship in the future.
DR.. Swiggett says that all the as
sumption of difficulty comes because
inquirers are normally confronted wien
the Russian alphabet and dts Greek
letters, the Russian grammer and It's
many lenses and all the paraphernalla
of scholastic lore. He intimates that
the absorption of this has been alto
gether too difficult for the Russians
themselves, because he cites the fact
that hardly 4 per cent Of the nus
sion millions ever got to the point OF
going to school to learn their own
language. They can all talk it, tho.
A proper method Of acquiring the
language as DR.. Swiggett outlines 1t,
involves only the simple process q OF
learning a few OF the simpler words
and phrases that nainstay daily IN
tercourse and thereafter absorbing
some more. By dint Of practice and
sound memory, which he considers no
more difficult IL exercise than Is the
American ear for the latest popular
song, modest Russian vocabulary
can be acquired. Then II ut is desired,
the books can be consulted and an am
bilious young American can do more
with the language than many Rus
slams. Afterxard he would have a ca
reer.
Yet in spite Of this ease DR.. swig-
gett finds that only ten educational
institutions IN the United States at.
tempt to teach Russian and only three
q: those have courses that are de-
signed to qualify students in the
spoken language.
How different the story reads for

England" he says. "Of twelve univer-
sites reported, nine teach Russian. OF
forty-one schools of the type, Of Elton.
Rugby and Harrow, ten offer it, and Of
fifteen city school systems all maintain
classes.
II have no wish TO make brief for
the study Of Russian for any purpose
other than the establishment of ways
and means whereby our nation may
come to know modern Russia better
to create way for the coming ex-
change of ideas, and wares that must
be mutually helpful. That way lies
thru commerce, exercised on higher
plane than the mere barter of pro-
ducts, for immediate ana therefore sell
fish gain.
II wish to call attention to Russias
great need for engineers. Our techni-
cal schools should have their eyes on
the man market Of that country. While
related only indirectly to commerce.
constructive engineering work Is yet
a great commercial asset for nation,
and we should endeavor to do our
share in meeting Russias need in this
respect.
Let us now urge the immediate
study Of Russian for commercial pur-
poses. Our nation has a peculiar mes
sage for Russia. and possesses there
by q distinct ADVANTAGE, This mes
sage can be delivered best by our
commercial representatives. We shall
need in consequence q large number
of men prepared Immediately to trade
with Russia on the unselfish basis OF
fair exchange and the spirit Of a real
conquistador of commerce."

These things are being published in

received them today thru official
channels and they were more interest

In contrast to the boastful tone OF

Many huts where our men were serv-

Solution Sought by
Huns of Question
of A1sace-Lorra;ne

French Front, May Shy MaiD-
In nearly every newspaper printed in
Germany at the present moment there
is presented some kind of . scheme
for the solution Of the question Of
Alsace Lorraine. What the Germans
can not understand is the fact virtually
every real Alsatian and Lorrain rejects
in totally any scheme for Joining his
native land either to the German en-
pire or any of its component federal
states.
The latest method Of dsposing Of the
two provinces discussed in the German
imperial parliament proposes their di-'
vision between Prussia and Bavaria.
Lorraine to be taken by the former and
Alsace by the latter. This proposition
not only is rejected by the Inhabitants
Of the provinces themselves but has
aroused protests from several of the
German states and especially from
Wuerttemberg Consequently for the
time being it has been allowed to drop
in favor Of two other schemes. both
unsatisfactory to some of the German
parties.
The first Of them looks to the forma-
ton or an independent SldLe OIL AlSdCe.
Lorraine under the rule of a duke while
the second formulates the foundation
Of a republic Of Alsace- Lorraine attach
ed to the German empire. Both of them
have been widely discussed but with
out bringing about any conclusion and
should either of them be accepted by
the Germans, it is believed the people
of the two provinces would have moth
ing to do with it.
AS the correspondent Of the Associat-
ed Press has found in discussing the
matter with Alsatians apd Lorrains OF
all classes the only desire of these
people is to be reunited to France. with
which they have remained, in spite OF
the German annexation closely allied
in their ideas andisin all their souls
They recall frequently in the course OF
their conversations the words uttered
by President Wilson
The wrong caused by Prussia to
France in 1871 must be redressed in
order that peace may be established
in the interest of all:''

THE Huns were pretty close before
we mixed. Rogers, of course, had his
gun loaded with Ave rounds, and his
bayonet fixed. After swinging his gun
around his head a, couple of times, he
brought it down to his shoulders and
emptied his shells at the enemy, swung
it again, yelled and jabbed, and used
the butt of his gun to smash the skull
