operate with these nations IN organizing
the necessary plans for instruction. It
is of course quite possible that a propo-
sition would be made at the Peace Con-
gress II English were selected for this
purpose that Franco Italy, Belgium,
Portugal and the South American re-
publics should also make the study Of
Ems .sh compapN y in their scAoO!9-a.
If French were chosen the United States
and all the other non-French speaking
nations in the league should mako tho
study of French compulsory in their
schools. 1t might be that the advantage
would be so obvious to all the CONNER
cial nations that they would readily
adopt this plan.
The acceptance of this latter PROPOSE
ton would not seem to be essential TO
the successful working of the first one,
but Il would clearly, II accepted, add
much 10 the value OF the FIRST proposition
and make the whole plan so far reaching
that Spain and the other neutrals, and
even Germany and Austria. might have
to follow the lead.
In the new order of things universal
education, probably compulsory, Is likely
to md It's place and by an initiative that
will be supplied from within In most OF
the new, governments TO be established.
The study OF common language could
well be a part OF the new curriculum.
The practical difficulties in the way of
carrying out such a plan are great The
absence of means and facilities and the
lack Of mental ability OF the peasant
classes might at first prove discouraging
but time and Intelligent help from the
new republican governments ought even
tually TO bring about a new order OF
things and II there were the will there
can be found the way.
Is II not possible then that there Is
an important subject which Is being
overlooked? Would not history assign a
very high place In constructive .Btatos-
manship to any man or set OF men who
should stand UP in the Peace Congress
and say that this is something that must
DO done and should put through The
adoption Of a sans and wise agreement

THE RED CROSS AND THE NEW
WAR.


THE coming Of peace does not end
the activities Of the Red Cross. In
fact, the Red Cross is putting on its
armor to engage In a new war. It
will not back up the fighting men on
battle fronts, but 1t will wage the con-
flict among those who are suffering,
and there are millions of such people
in Europe. At the present time small
pox and typhus are raging from the
Crimea to Bucharest. The Bolshevik
are driving to starvation hundreds of
thousands Of people. Poland Is des-
titute Children in Siberia are dying
OF starvation and disease.
Apathetic, with all hope gone and
with nothing in the future for them
but the grave. these suffering people
have only one chance to become self
supporting and self-reliant again. That
one chance comes through the medium
of the Red Cross. II assistance is Civ
en- it must be immediate because every
passing day makes conditions worse
The American Red Cross feels it's
peace time duty as keenly as it felt
its war time duty. 1t cannot turn away
now. when the cries of distress reach
across the ocean into every American
home. Nor can we turn a deaf ear
to the appeal.

COURAGE A VIRTUE.

T was with sigh of relief that
u Boise people learned of the rescue of
Paul Bennett, son of the former sheriff
of Ada county. from the well on his
fathers place in which he was buried
for twenty one hours under thirty feet
of earth. Nothing but courage saved
this young man and certainly it was
virtue in his particular case. Had
he given up whom the awful knowledge
flashed through his mind that he was
buried alive with small hope for his
rescue he would have quickly sue
cumbed. But he had both courage and
faith that somehow, If he could but
hold out he would be saved. And he
was, thanks to the desperate efforts put
forth by his rescuers.
Young Bennett went down into the
we'll, which had gone dry, to dig it a
little deeper. Suddenly and without
warning the walls gave way and there
plunged on top Of him dirt, stone and
sand. pipe struck his forehead and
while the pressure from it was terrific
1t gave him breathing space. For
tunately he was buried standing up.
When rescuers reached him he was
alive and uninjured. HIS was
miraculous escape.

FHE GENTLEMAN FROM OHIO.

NHIo is grooming a candidate for

hrting early to offset the activities

publican candidate for the nominal

Ohio's claim to leadership in the
Fmocratic party lies chiefly to the

Fity that surprised even the leaders
Wilson's own party.
The son of a village doctor, Senator
bmerene. was given an excellent edu-
tion. His first public position was
ut of city solicitor in Canton. o., in
B7. He next became prosecuting at
Fney for Stark county, being the only
kmocrat elected in 1896, the year of
: famous Bryan McKinley campaign.
1905 he was appointed a member of
b Ohio tax commission under Cover

nirman OF the state Democratic con :
ntion which nominated him as lieu
hAnt governor. He was elected. On
nuary 10. 1911, the legislature elected
h to the United states senate and
1916 he was Reelected by popular
lie. He ran second to President Will
h.
The announcement from Ohio is un-
estionably inspired. 1t is taken to
aicate that Senator Pomerene would
