The trouble with the attempt to prohibit Ger
man plays and operas in Milwaukee is that it is
attempt to make mountain out of molehill
good many people derive pleasure from attending
theater entertainments given in German and pre-
senting history, poetry and fiction that will never
die regardless of atrocities in Belgium. Atroc-
ties, by the way, freqently occur in the United
States, without even war for their excuse. The
place to begin featuring the English language is
the public schools and when we have a generation
thus educated it will not be in much danger of
absorbing enemy propaganda given in any foreign
tongue on the stage. Naturally it will be gen
Grafton of voters perhaps not much to the liking
of the politician who ran for the legislature last
fall and ran from one end of his district to the
other waving the flag til the stars nearly wore
off, dwelt on his loyalty and Americanism until the
tears came, demanded an anti-foreign language
law with teeth in it, and before the ink was dry
on the armistice began trying to square things
with whatever foreign vote that he might have
offended in his vigorous campaign to make the
world safe for democracy. With this record still
fresh in mind, the present spasm in Milwaukee
does not need to be taken very seriously by any
one.

 This development Is the result of the activities of the Bridgeport Cham Der of Commerce, The Harbor De- velopment Committee was commits stoned to make a thorough study o1 the possibilities of Bridgeport har- bor, with special reference to engag- ing in ocean shipping and foreign trade. As the committees survey pro. gressed the plan of the great terminal gradually grew and took form, and when MT.

 velopment of their harbors. Bridge | port proposes to develop its own har l bor. The project, as 1t now stands, f
 broad one, evidencing the great con
 fidence and courage of It's projectors
 and promises great things for the flu 1 ture of the community. The passinl
 of the bll through the legislature, ant ! the ultimate conclusion of this plan 1 with its many advantages, will b 1 watched with great interest"

(Continued from Paee onel

 The American attitude, 1t is de- clared, is very positive, and in case the Powers insistaa. upon clvidtng the colonies among them might be such that it would probably affect the whole future of the Peace Confer ence. President Wilson, it Is un- derstood, still holds to his original opinion that 1t would be scarcely worth while for the United States to participate in the negotiations unless 8 League of Nations with the accom- panying principles, were provided for in making peace.
 The general public probably will not see a full report of Wednesdays s session of the Supreme Council, which will probably have historic sig nit1cance, until after the treaty of peace is signed, if at aIl-
 The agreement reached by the AL lied Council of Ten on the colonial question, according to Havas agency statement today, provides that territories which the sufficiently civ ilized to give an expression of their wishes as to the form of their gov- ernment will be permitted to set up such a government under the auspices of the League of Nations, obtaining either national independence or living under a protectorate of one or other of the great powers, Arabia and Mesopotamia are considered to be ex- | aInples of this class.
 In the case of peoples insuficientIy l developed for self-government the statement explains, the league shall | choose the power most suitable to | govern under certain guarantees to | be fixed either by the Peace Confer ence or the league. Professionally the 1 African and the Far Eastern colonies shall be left as they are now, in con tro1 of the powers now occupying | them.
 As regards Asiauc Turkey, the statement adds, the four Great Pow l CTS are to undertake its adminisua- | ton at once and the council of ten has asked the Versailles council to available for the occupation of tha Turkish area
 The Peace Conference so far has had two replies to it's invitation t0 the various Russian government for a conference at the Princes Islands In none of these the government o1 North R1ssia formally refuses to meet with the Bolshevfd. The Omsk gov ernment under Admiral Kolchak, while less categoric in it's reply, ex- presses strong reserve.
