Peculiar Attitude.
Axel Johansen, member of the
Wisconsin legislature, and a ma
tive of Denmark, has introduced
"a bill prohibiting the teaching
of any foreign language in the
primary and high schools of the
state. This peculiar attitude is
not explained, but it is thought
to be an evanescent expression
of the typical patriotic" narrow
mindedness which just now
seems prevalent in many places,
and which, it was thought, had
reached climax in Iowa. Mr..
Johansen apparently wants to

Travelling Amateurs.
In Worcester. Mass, a COM
pany Of Swedish amateur play
ers is being organized under the
direction of former Stockholm
actor. The company will consist
of fourteen members who are
| planning to visit every Swedish
settlement throughout the coun-
try with a repertoire of chiefly,
historical dramas. Oscar Holm
berg, Boston financier, has sup
piled the initial capital.
At the Peace Congress.
Some time during this week it
is expected that Scandinavian
claims will be taken up for dis
cussion at the peace congress in
Paris. The discussion will be
only a preliminary nature at the
present time, and will be held
for the sake of examination. 1t
is said that the Slesvig-H -Holsten
problem is slated for discussion
first of all, and that then the
question of obtaining financial
restitution for Norway's losses
in ships will be taken up. As to
whether or not the Aaland is
lands may be ceded back to Swe-
den is a problem which will also
be considered by the Allied dele
cations. From reports at hand
it appears that the position of
/ the neutrals at the congress is
something similar to what Ger
manv's will be later on: They
are invited to state their case,
but the decision will be made BY
/! the Allies without regard to the
| fairness Of the suggestion that
nesitrals should have a voice in
the PROCEEDINGS.
