Movement to Repeal Law
Providing for Teaching
of German Is Started
ASSOCIATED PresS.)

INDIANAPOLIS. April Ga move
ment to repeal the law in this state
providing for the teaching of German
in tn public schools has been started
and is we'll under way. Such instruc-
ton has been eliminated in many of
the schools of the state, but the law
which says certain number of pa
irons Of school may petition for the
teaching of the German language and
the petition shall be granted still
stands. The present plans are to pre-
sent the request for the repeal of the
law at the next session Of the Legisla-
ture. Many educators of the state
are backing the movement. Horace
Ellis, state superintendent of public
instruction has said he favors the re-
peal of the law
The Objectionable law says that the
petition for the teaching of German
shall be granted when twenty-five or
more patrons of school ask such &C
ton. German has been taught in the
majority of the city schools in the
state, and also in many Of the country
districts. While many of the school
boards deliberately have ignored the
continue the teaching of German. in
other communities where such action
has not been taken the pupils them
selves to a great extent have solved
the situation. The children simply
have dropped out of the German clas-
ses. Estimates that as high as 80 per
cent. of the pupils of German classes
have quit them have been made.

DRASTIC CHANGE IN
DRAFT EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Drastic
modification of the draft classification
lists which would effect In one way or
another the status of every one OF the
millions of registered men is proposed
in a plan submitted to President VIII
son by officials of the provost marshal
geaeraIs Cfice and the department
Of labor While the priamry purpose
Of the new program is the "purihca'
ton OF the second, third and fourth
classes of registrants who are not en-
gagged In any productive industry, at
tention will be. given to lower groups
of Glass /, and the effect its trainers
labor problem.
Work for sIackers.
The proposal would utilize the draft
machinery for putting industrial slack
ers to work. Every registeresS man
who has deferred classification would
be made to understand that the defer
ment is not legal right. but privil-
eye.
A careful survey is proposed of the
lower sections of Glass l and other
classes to identify men who are idlers
or who are agining their living
through undesirable or harmful pur-
suits.
Under the latter head officials sug-
gest might be listed gamblers, book
makers for races, poolroom touts and
others Formal notification would be
served on these men that unless they
obtain employment in some useful in
dustry their classification would be
changed to put them into military
service Immediately.
The plan is not designed to inter
fere with the nonescsential industries.
These may be affected slightly, but Of
ficials say any injury would be onset
many times by the resulting national
good from the augmented labor supply
and the increased production OF es-
sentials.

SPECIAL SESSION
MAY Be ORDERED

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April Ga
special session of the legislature very
probably will be called by Governor
Goodrich. possibly next week, it be-
came known today when the governor
appeared at the state house, having
returned from Washington where he
attended a conference of Governors.
The governor, however, would make
no announcement on the subject.
While the governor would have no
power to limit the subject to be con-
sidered at a special session, it il
thought an agreement will be reached
before the call is issued to confine the
work to the vital needs Of the state
especially in a financial way growing
out of the war with Germany.

Girl Reporter Tells
Part Women Can Take
in Cause Of Freedom
BY MARY hENkE

The part that women can play In
the winning Of a war has never been
recognized so fully as during the pres
ent conflict. With the battalion OF
death In Russia taking the place OF
fleeing men; the women of England
working behind the lines Of battle, and
in the munition factories: the French
women blowing close to the German
lines to raise food for their children
and in America the women working az
a unit with their men to win the wal
and relieve the sufierings Of the wal
victims, It has been shown clearly
that woman's place in war times may
be a place where she can personally
help win the war.
Women are helping win the war II
IL no more than just. For the war
IL really being fought for women.
Americans are going over there to
meet death face to face. not so much
for q matter Of abstract theories, but
in order that their women may be
spared what the women Of France and
Belgium have been forced to suffer
They are going over that their chill
dren may have happy. prosperous
homes, instead Of suffering expatria.
ton and mutilation for speaking the
enemy language"
They have devastated France" a
soldier writes from the trenches, but
am glad we have gone into this thing
while we could keep them over here
God knows what would have happened
to our families IL We turned the Hun
lose in America"
American women have Known little
of the sacrifices OF war yet. Except
for those who have sent sons and hus.
bands into the trenches they do not
realize the full horror Of the thing that
has fallen on the women Of Europe.
And it is to keep Americas women
away from the realization OF it, that
we are asking Americas men to give
their lives and their money.
We are an independent, public
spirited race Of women. we Americans.
and we do not like to feel that sacri-
nces are being made for US to which
we are making no return. We have
knitted and sewed some, and have
given up wheat -four, and coaxed our
days. but there Is something bigger
money that will help America win the
war.
Women are organizing for the Lib
erty Loan drive. and women will he
canvassed. 1t is war for women as
well as for democracy and the women
must give money that it may be won.
1t is characteristic that the War
Mothers Of Richmond were the first to
buy Liberty bond of the third issue.
Those women who have sacrificed
most. know that money is only a
means to the end. and that the money
which some Of them stinted them
selves to give. will bring the boy in
khaki back that much sooner.
The Liberty Loan drive opens Sat
urday night The women Of the coun-
try cannot sit back in comfort and
say this is a mans job" for it is not.
II is job for men and women and
children.
Every woman in Wayne county
should be at the meeting Saturday
which opens the Liberty Loan drive
Whether or not she is an active work
err In the campaign does not matter
II she goes she will show that as a
woman she is interested, and appre-
ciative of the sacrifices being made
for her-being made that the world
may be safe for women.
