Pluvius. The rain never fell faster
in this section for upwards of two or
three hours and in addition to this a
police force augmenting the regular
man on duty had a tendency to keep
things within bounds, hence little tear

was entirely too much when the front
yards of the residents of the town
were entered and in one or two in

front porches to the ground were rip

TO BAN GERMANS
 FROM SCHOOLS

New York. January IA nation wide campaign is being conducted by the American Defense society to ellm- mate the teaching in the schools throughout the United States In letter written to the principals of pub lie schools. private schools and col leges throughout the country the So- ciety urges that French. Italian, Span ish and Russian should be given prom thence in the curriculum with view to strengthening trade relations be- tween these countries. The letter, which is signed by Dr. William T. Hor naday, reads:
 Reports are rife with the ending of the war that there is to be an at tempt to force upon our Americas youth the language of the people whose hands are stained with the blood of their fathers and brothers The Ger man language has been used as a wea pon directed at the heart of America by German propa gandists. It is the opin- ion of many of our prominent educa- tors that German is not an essential in any course of study. and it is to be hoped that our American youth will not permit it's being forced upon them for any reason whatsoever. The next five years will witness crystalliza- ton of educational opinion and upon that specialization will depend the future of American education.
 For those who would study a lan- guage for it's future utility the choice lies between French, Italian and Rus sian as our trade relations with these countries will be immeasurably in creased now that peace is in sight. To study German would be to condone the atrocities perpetrated by the people who speak this language

PERSH|NC' s DAILY LIFE SIMPLE AT
 HEADQUARTERS
No Sentries Are in Evidence and Routine Is Plain to the Point of
 Simplicity
By Associated Press

Chaumont, Haute Marne, France. November 23.-When he is here at general headquarters General Pershing leads very busy but very simple life. There is little ceremony of an osten- tatious kind either at his chateau or around his offices. There is nothing to distinguish his office rooms in "A' building of the headquarters group from those of any other officer. One orderly sits at his door, there is no sentry and the visitor walks unan- nounced into the adjoining reception room to be received by one of his staff.
 General Pershing's trips to and from his chateau in the country are made in his motor car, distinguished only by it's red four starred insignia on the windshield and where would be the number plate, which slips unnotic- ed along the road and through the city. Ordinarily he is accompanied only by his personal aids, his staff fol- lowing at a distance great enough not to mark the big cars as one squadron.
 In fine weather he sometimes walk ed two or three miles from the out skirts of Chaumont to his country home and that. with quiet horseback rides through the beautiful country hereabouts, gave him his needed exer. else
 Much of his time since last spring, when the American forces began real participation in strength in the fight ing, has been spent al advanced army headquarters. These have been at va rious places, sometimes at a distance

of the River Marne and it's canal, lined on either bank with tall poplars set equidistant and lending an added touch of formality to the always for nal French landscape.
 Often General Pershing himself rises from a seat on the terrace to greet a guest and. if not. one of his staff The meal is very informal. conversa- ton being general and the commander in chief apparently does, not like to lin. ger al the table. Afterward coffee and cigars in the big lounge room or stroll under the trees until the gen eral indicates that his leisure is ended.
 General Pershing has kept himself n splendid physical condition during these trying months. He is as lean and clear-eyed as he was when he came from the Mexican campaign, as straight and soldierly in bearing as he was in the days of his Philippine cam paigns when he first won notice. His eyes still twinkle when occasion calls and the corners of his mouth still turn in the familiar, quickly passing smile.
 For those he has known in past days he always has some mutual re- miniscence to recall, some incident Of the Philippines or Mexico or the days when he was on duty in Washington, and his hearty laugh often sounds through the doors of his office as ne chats with some old acquaintances.

to entail long. hard automobile rides from them to Chaumont when circum- stances demanded his presence here. Often after a hard day at advanced headquarters the general has made the three or four hour drive late at night, only to depart early the next day Ills powerful closed car with double rear wheels usually travels at high speed and in it's comfortable cushions he ob- tains the rest denied him in bed.
 Life at General Pershing's chateau is plain to the point of simplicity. Except for the beautiful old castle and it's picturesque setting in the val ley of the Marne, it might be the home life of any fairly well-to-do Amerl- can business man. Only uniforms of his military household set it apart. His personal staff lives with him and his servants are negro soldiers detail- ed. And they are good cooks as his few guests can testify, placing on his table simple well cooked American dishes, usually three or at most four courses, including coffee and cheese and served American style.
 No sentries are in evidence, nothing to mark the chateau the residence itors car drives through a plain, un- guarded gateway in closely set. grove, along curving roadway for few E"ndred yards. and then only is had the first glimpse of the old castle, lying in it's park and lawns bordered on one side by long, weeping curve
