GEN. MANGIN PRAISES
THE WISCONSIN UNIT.
(Milwaukee Journal.l


Mayence Gen. Mangin, at his head
quarters in the palace of the grand
duke of Hesse, said to The Journal
correspondent:
Germany is still Enthusiastically
and potentially dangerous Its army
is again taking up arms and its Off
GERS resuming their functions, and we
must take no chances The occupa-
ton must last very long time.
1T is the same old Germany. The
armistice came too soon. The war
should have continued at the very
least a week longer. In another week
/ should have been in Metz and the
following week on the Rhine
Gen. Mangin praised the American
First, Second and Thirty-second divi-
sions which fought under him. He
said there were no better troops in
the world. He warned against Ger
man propaganda "Germany's sole re-
naming hope is to drive a wedge be-
tween the allies !"
Gen. Mangin praised the discipline
of the troops attached to the Mayence
sector. There has not been single
complaint to reach me-" He added,
however, that the Germans were TAX
ing advantage of the humanitarian
leniency of the French

WIRELESS PHONE is
HEARD HUNDRED MILES

Washington Naval aviators at the
Anacostia station confirm the report
that a momentous test of radio tele-
phony resulted in the carrying of the
human voice distance of 100 miles.
Above the whirr of his engine. while
enroute to Hampton Roads, Ensign
Palmer, pilot of a naval airplane, dis
tinctly recognized the voice of Lieu
tenant Commander G. d. Murray, who
gave him directions through a radio
telephone operated by Ensign G. B.
Mirick, while 100 miles away. Hither
to it has not been possible in local
tests to reach a flyer with a voice az
a distance greater than two miles, UNI
less the aviator was in quiescent
state
full speed, with his motors thunder
ing, when he recognized the vocal or
ders from Washington He not only
heard the voice with complete dis
tinctness, but was able to name the
person with whom he was talking.
1t is believed that the experiment
justifies the hope that radio telephony
will soon be so developed and per-
fected that it will be possible to reach
flyer at any distance from his base.
When regular transatlantic service
is established it is not at all impos-
sible that the pilots will be kept in
constant touch with the shore.

YANK PRISONERS
LEAVE GERMANY
RUSS PRISONERS TURNED
AWAY BY BOLSHEVIK
FORCES.
Others Concentrated in Huge Camp
Near Moscow, Die by Thousands,
Bodies Being Removed by
the Carloads.

Berlin (Via Copenhagen With the
exception of half a dozen men who
are too i'll to be moved, all the Amer
lean war prisoners will have been
evacuated from Germany this week.
They are now completely out of the
country or are at ports awaiting
transportation.
The work has gone on smoothly, be-
cause the Germans were willing to
yield to the urgency asked by Gen.
Harries, in charge of the evacuation,
and w. j. Husband. who started the
movement before the arrival of Gen.
Harries from Spa.
Our problem having been compare
lively easy, because of the small num-
Der of men involved, Gen. Harries
and Mr. Husband have been able to
give part of their attention to the
10000 Serbs in north Prussia, and sew
eral camps of Roumanians all of
whom are without proper clothing or
food
One.Half Die in ROumanian Camp.
They will probably now be handled
and started homeward early by Amer
lean effort. Measures for their feed
ing have already been taken In one
camp of 400 Roumanians, 100 are un-
able to leave their hunks for lack of
shoes. In another Roumanian camp
which had 1,4O0 men one year ago,
700 have died and the condition of
the remainder is appalling.
All sorts of prisoner problems are
coming before the Americans, who
are regarded by the unfortunates as
magical providers. The Russian prob
lem seems almost unsolvable, as there
are 100000 prisoners here who are
unable to get away, and who must
face serious hardshinps if they stay.
Bodies Removed by Carloads.
Some of them, turned back by Boil
shevists at the Russian frontier, have
become fierce propagandists against
Bolshevism. Many who crossed into
Russia were concentrated by the Boil
shevists in a huge camp near Mos
COW, where so many deaths occur the
bodies are removed by carloads. Rus
STA stands in the real need of united
allied aid
Gen. Dupont, of the French service,
who was in Berlin, has asked the alli-
ed authorities to relax the conditions
of the armistice relating to the de-
livery of cars and locomotives, until
the war prisoners can all be removed
from Germany.

WISCONSIN AND
ALIEN TONGUES.
State Must Bar Use of Foreign Ian.
guage as a Basis of Speech in Order
to Profit by the Allotment of
Federal Fund

MILWAUKEE,, Wis.-The Federal
School Aid Bill now pending in Con-
,gress has served to bring home to
Wisconsin the need for eliminating
the teaching of foreign languages in
the grade schools Unless the incOm-'
ing legislature bars the use of a for
eign language principally German
as the basic tongue for teaching the
grade studies in parochial and private
schools, this state will be unable to
receive any part of the allotment of
$1,308,5 77.92 that would accrue to it
from the fund to eGualize the educa-
tional opportunities within the states.
AS the sum under the provisions of
the bill. must be duplicated by the
state, the total loss to education in
Wisconsin would be $2,617 1854. The
federal bill provides that a state may
participate in the fund only if the
basic language of instruction in all
schools in English
The Wisconsin legislature, which
meets in January, is made up of men
elected on three platforms-the Dem
ocratic, calling for law making Eng
llsh the medium of instruction in all
schools, public and private; the Re-
publican. making English the medium
of instruction in public schools, but
giving the parochial schools a wider
latitude, and the Socialist, which
would allow the use of any language
desired.
The friends of Americanization are
going to make determined effort to
get through the legislature bill to
make English the sole medium of in
struction in the grades. Such bill
will meet with much opposition, prin
cipally among the Lutheran and Ger
man Roman Catholic clergy.

EDISON TO WIN POWER
FROM SMALL STREAMS.

Pittsburg- Thomas A. Edison, Hen
ry Ford, H. S. Firestone, E. N. Hur-
ley and John Burroughs toured
Maryland, West Virginia and North
Carolina.
Edison and / were looking serious
ly into this business of water power
and the generation of power in gener-
al" Ford sums it up. 1T is shame,
a tragedy, the way this country-and
all countries for that matter-are let
ting go to waste the natural power of
resource, water, which is literally in
exhaustable.
Edison, after long experimental
ton, has contrived means to win
power from the very smallest of
streams. 1t is a fact which anyone
will recognize, that the tiniest brook
will turn wheel and will develop
power. The smaller the stream, of
course, the less the power.
II would establish factories near
the points where the best hydro-elec-
trio assets were located. The partic-
ular kind of factories is not vital Off
hand, / might say, sawmills, wood
working shops, furniture factories,
etc. These would all be appropriate
in hilly country, which is generally
wooded, too. Right at hand would be
the raw materials as well as the chic.

system is infinitely cleaner and less

ELEVENS LEAD TO BIBLE
PROPHECY OF KAISER'S FALL.

Kansas City, Mo.-When the armis-
tice ended the greaE struggle in Eu-
rope on the eleventh hour, woman
who sets great store by her Bible
sought the eleventh verse of the elev-
enth chapter of the eleventh book Of
the scriptures. It brought her 10 tue
first books of Kings. The eleventh
verse of the eleventh chapter reads:
Wherefore the Lord said unto
Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done
of thee, and thou hast not kept my
covenant and my statutes, which
have commanded thee. l will surely
rend the kingdom from thee, and will
give it to thy servant
The woman who noted this coinci-
dence says she believes. and she be-
lieves the recent kaiser now believes,
that the verse was very prophetic.

PAPERS RAISE PRICES.

costs which made the city dailies
raise their prices about 100 per cent

few are now charging less than 50 per

bel Dial-Enterprise, Boscobel Sentin-
Ell, Lancaster Teller, The Dodgeville

raised fifty cents or more year and

these papers found that they were up
against it and most of them took the
leap some time before the Herald did.

THAT KULTUR-BRED CONCEIT.

1t is interesting to note a gradual
decrease in the ridiculous conceit of
the German Kultur-warpe mind. The
terrific squeeze of the war just closed
has put the Conceit Nerve of German
dom into such confusion that it has
not had time to quiet down, although
South Germany is beginning to see the
light
The Munich Post gives the follow
defeat to German arms:
Every world-conqueror has under

pies he had subjected. The rule of

been the case

The Post could well have gone
