"SERVANT" AN ABUSED WORD
President Of United States, Heads OF
Banks, Ministers, Physicians,
Are In Same Class.

It is a pity that we have allowed OPP
probrium to attach to the good old
word servant" opprobrium utterly un-
merited. Talk about "help," or the lat
est equivalent, maid" used quite in
appropriately, says the Youths Com
panion, does not alter circumstances
in the least, o is there any reason
why we should wish them altered.
Every n who is worth anything Is
a servant. The merchant serves his
customers. If he serves them not well,
they discharge him. The lawyer serves
his clients, the minister his parishion-
ers, the doctor his patients. The presi-
dent of a bank is a servant, and so is
the president of a railway. The presi-
len of the United States is the hired
servant of the people of the United
States, and few servants in any occu-
patton are more abused by their mas
tiers.
Service, we'll and faithfully per-
formed, is the only real dignity, and
all the outward pomp and insignia OF
rank are but badges of service, and
%disgraceful if they are not earned.
Service is life. 1t is only when we
are doing something to serve the large
movement of the world what we are
entitled to live in it, that we really do
live in it. Life is measured by useful
ness. OF all the varied affection that
swift-footed age al bring, none Is
more oppressive than the sense of d.
minished capacity for service.
Not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, not to be served, but to serve,
is the utterance of the highest author
ity in spiritual matters. There is but
one disgrace connected with service OF
any kind, and that is to serve i'll. Let
us perform whatever service falls to
us, large or small, high or low, with all
the zeal and all the strength that is in
us. Then we shall be sure that when
we depart we shall be missed, If only
a little; and there is no more solid
satisfaction in the world than that.

MOTOR CORPS GIRLS KEPT
BUSY BY WAR BRIDES.
Report Shows Importance of Service
at Points of Debarkation-Actlv-
tiles Expanding.

War brides figure conspicuously In
the latest report of the Red Cross Mo-
tor Corps, which will continue in serv-
ice indefinitely. Figures given out by
the Atlantic Division Of the Red Cross
shows that 343 war brides were given
transportation from piers IN Hoboken,
N. j., to places of entertainment in
New York city and elsewhere in n
month. The report indicates that
there has been practically no decrease
from the average of the previous rush
months of troop debarkation.
Casual officers transported by the
Corps numbered 1907; overseas
nurses, LABS; litter cases, 235, and am
bulatory cases, LOBE. Passenger cars
used by the Cops numbered 334, and
574 ambulance trips were made.
In its recreation activities the Corps
carried 4,24S soldiers. Parties of con-
valescent soldiers were taken to 81 en-
tertainmentS, nearly all Of them Rec
Cross entertainments, in one month.
The work of the Corps, it was an
%nounced, will continue even after troop
movements have ceased. Discontinue
ance of service of other women's mo-
tor corps has no bearing on the work
of the Red Cross Motor Corps Service,
it was announced. Plans are under
way for an increase in the extent and
character and variety of the Corps
activities.

Over The River
Delaware State Fair

The Delaware State Fair, now held
at Elsmere, some miles from Whining
ton, on the trolley line to Brandywine
Springs, has been growing in extent
and popular interest since the Fair was
moved to the large grounds.
AS one entered the grounds on each
side for a lengthy distance was about
rs promiscuous catch penny side
shows with more freaks than can be
imagined. Then the long line of food
and drink booths catered to the hungry
and thirsty. The breweries had their
hop and barley waters with the kick
left out, but there were few patrons
for the Iifeless amber liquid.
The building of a hollow tile with
plaster On each side makes a perman-
emit place for the exhibits which were
lei in most classes. There were
fine display of fruits, but not very
extensive. Women's work in hand
craft and kitchen showed much skill
and interest in display.
Farm machinery was not so extern
sive as in former years. The most
interest was shown in power tractors
which are taking the place of horses
Fine trotting and draft horses were
on exhibition. Dairy cows, especially
Holstein as milk producers were the
handsomest farm animals shown. The
superior value Of milk as food was
shown by comparisons with fruits,
vegetables, meats and eggs. Milk is
the cheapest food to be had for the
price. The value of testing cows ano
carefully bred animals was forcloly
presented to those interested.
he trotting and pacing races were
viewed by about 10000 persons dur
ing most of the days of the Fair.

Major Richard Sylvester Receives
Further HOnOrs

Major Richard Sylvester, of the E.
l. dupont de Nemours and Company,
has just received, in recognition of his
long and distinguished service as or
g~anizer and president of the Interna-
tional Association of Chief of Police,
a substantial badge of solid gold,
bearing the inscription, presented to
Richard Sylvester, of Washington,
D. c., by International Association of
Chiefs of Police"
The face is surmounted by an eagle
holding the insignia of the Associa-
ton worked in gold relief, and the in
scription "Past President, President

thorities of Canada, Cuba, England,
France and South America.

The act passed by the last legisla-
ture prohibiting the use of any Ian
guage other than Englis in schools
below the eighth grade, was upheld
by District Judge Wakeley yesterday
when he sustained demurruers filed
by Governor McKelvie, Attorney
General Davis and County Attor-
ney Shotwell.
Bonds were filed by the plaintiffs
in the case and it will be carried to
the supreme court.
Judge Wakeley issued tempo
rary injunction against the attorney
general and county attorney, pre-
venting them from enforcing the
law until its validity has been de-
cided by the state supreme court.
The plaintiffs are the Nebraska
district of the Evangelical Lutheran
Synod of Missouri and Ohio, and
St. Francis Catholic church of the
South Side. They allege that OPP
Grafton of the law would interfere
with numerous palothIal schCuts
which they conduct, attended by

come to school, cannot understand

school of the South Side, the board
of directors of the Bohemian school

The financial interests of the

now endeavoring, in opposition to
the plan proposed by the farmers
of the country, to put into effect
the plan proposed by Messrs. Van
derlip, Dawson and others by
which the financial interests and
not the governments. would con-
troll the financing necessary for
world reconstruction.
"Mr. Vanderlip's idea was that
the money should be loaned the
distressed countries and a lien on
their customs accepted as security.
"Mr. Davison's suggestion was
that debentures be issued against the
credits established in Europe. Every
country would guarantee the deben-
lures against it. Then the banking
interests could place the debentures
with the public, distributed as widely
as possible.
Would Put Financiers in Control.
This plan involves, as admitted
by its advocates, very close cooper
alton between the financial interests
and the governments of the several
countries, and puts the hnanciers in
dagerous control over the activities
of every government, and the eco
nomic and political life of the peo-
pie involved.

fere with the work of their pupils
in the regular schools. Mr.. Spalek
says he has three children and sends
them to the Bohemian school on
Saturdays for cultural and economic
reasons. He says he wants them to
learn the Bohemian language before
they get through the eighth grade,
as it is much more difficult for them
after they have gone that far in
school.
The petition of these intervenors
alleges that the foreign language law
is in violation of the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton, and of the first, third, fourth
and fifth sections of the bill of
rights of the Nebraska constitution.
The temporary injunction granted
will permit the operation of all
schools in the state using other Ian
guages than English until the ST.
preme court has passed upon the
validity of the law.
Attorney General Davis yesterday
filed formal answer to the suit in
the district court in which he holds
that no injunction should be granted
unless the plaintiffs attack the con-
stitutionality of the foreign language
law ands assert that their property
rights are endangered by its opera
ton.
Both these points are alleged in
the petition of the original plaintiffs

BY JUSTIN M'GRATH.

Washington, June 2l.- The
Farmers National council will fight
wits all its power and influence the
proposal of leading New York
bankers to have the financial inter
ests of the United States arrange
for consolidation of the financial in
terests of the world to sustain the
war stricken countries of Europe
and their industries during the re-
construction period.
George P. Hampton, the manag-
ing director of the council, an
nounced today that the plan of the
New York fnanciers was directly
opposed to the plan of the farmers
of America, as expressed through
their reconstruction plan, adopted
at the Farmers National Recon-
struction conference held in Wash
ington last January.
At this conference the farmers
decided that among the instru-
mentalities necessary to make a
league of nations really effective is
an international investment board.
Investments Lead to War.
In urging the establishment of
such a board the conference de-
clared that foreign investments
have been a prolific source of mis-
understanding between nations, and,
if unregulated, will in the future
lead to conditions that will make
war unavoidable.
The idea of the conference was
that the establishment of the pro-
posed international investment
board would prevent the investment
of money by one nation in another
unless agreeable to the nation in
which the investment was made.
and furthermore, would prevent the
use of force by any nation to pro-
