that they will have the enthusiastic CO

Golden Gate" 1t organizes a three-day
program on a basis that avoids mere
aniuscment-vendinR for speculative profit
A glimpse OF what is in store for Us
and Of the nature Of the program is
afforded by a recent interview by W.
4. Radcliffe. All worthy ehautauquas
are educational in their purpose. But
the chautauqua that bears his name has
conceived its mission not merely to BE-
educational bu, to conduct deliberate
crusade OF education Mr. Radcliffe
is quoted as saying:
Now that | have an opportunity to
address 100000 people through tho
1880 audiences Of the South and the
Southwest on our chautauqua circuits
in 1919, ! am determined, through our
.esturers to carry on a nationwide drive
ior education, education and more edu-
cation.
THE draft showed that 100000
Americans Of army age could not read
or write. OF these 10000 were sent to
France, good Americans, who could not
read or write their own names. De.
nocracy is not safe when vast numbers
are uncducated.
Among us are 100000 illiterates. We
cannot contemplate the backward condi-
lion OF the rural schools, the out-of-
dateness Of the little red sehoolhouse'
and the failure of existing methods to
bear fruit in mental efficiency and in
morale without deep concern,
Every intelligent American is charged
with the responsibility of remedyine
this situation. so that each American
child may have an equal chance. The
bigness Of the opportunity should make
US eager to get at this task. Our after
the-war crusade is to write that word,
education, across the map. as Americas
only guarantee against the spread OF
bolshevism"

Notice to Gas Consumers

We earnestly request consumers now using
natural gas in coal designed house-heating fur
naces and boilers to change to coal at once.
The shortages of the past few days are but
forerunners of others which will be inevitable
the winter continues. Relief can be had only
through discontinuance of this heavy heating load
This means to you merely change from one fuel
to another in your furnace or boiler Think of your
fellow citizens of whom at least seventy five per
cent depend entirely upon gas heating stoves, with
no fuel change possible.
Think of the better service for your smaller
needs and theirs, which this act will make possible
We ask your cooperation in this conservation
effort.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1919-02-28
ABOUT TIME

Republicans who have been leading
the fight to secure the laundering at
governmental expense of the soiled
clothing of patients in Army hospitals
have achieved a complete victory.
Heretofore it has been necessary for
manned veterans from overseas either
to wash their own clothes or to pay
for having it done by private concerns.
Remonstrances have brought the re-
Spouse that Army regulations did not
provide for the washing of patients
clothing by the hospital authorities.
But the Objectionable regulations have
been changed at last, and now hospital
laundry is defined as "the washable
clothing of patients under treatment
in hospitals" and it is stated further
that "the soiled clothing of patients
will be washed as part of the hos
pital laundry" Notices of the change
in the regulations have been sent to
all medical posts in this country and
France.

QUO WARRANTO?

Washington, Feb. 25.-(Special cor
respondence)-O January 9Th the
War Trade Board issued an order au-
thorizing all persons in the United
states to trade and communicate with
residents of Alsace and Lorraine, those
states being considered as part of
France. Now the Alien Property Gus
todian has followed suit, stating that
hereafter he will not require reports
of property belonging to persons re-
siding in those countries, unless such
persons fall with the enemy class for
reasons other than their residence.
"In other words" reads the official no.
tifications of the Alien Property Custo-
dian, residents of Alsace and Lor-
raine as of January 8, 1919, and there
after will be treated as residents of
France"
1t would be interesting to know up
on what authority sthose Washington
officials base their action. So far as
the public is aware Alsace and Lor-
raine are still part of German terri
tory although occupied by the allied
armies. Precisely the same conditions
exist in all of Germany that lies west
of the Rhine, yet we do not hear of
any relaxation of our restrictions up
on the residents of those districts. 1t
is true that France desires to get back
the provinces she was forced 20 yield
