Ellis Opposes.Religious
instruction in German
(By Associated P.ess)

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. Horace Ell
lis. state superintendent of public in
struction, has certain ideas concerning
the teaching or use of German in the
schools. Recently he was asked by
those in charge of parochal school:
IF all the branches in a parish
school are taught in English is there
any objection to teaching religion in
German?''
The Ellis answer said in part:
You know just as well as l know
that the people of America are insult
ed by any disposition of either schools
or preachers to bring up in the future
reminders of a nation and it's conduct
which has slaughtered our youth
despoiled our homes, violated our ira
ditions or love. When do you pro-
pose to get away from it? If there is
any religion left in Germany the world
today sees no evidence of it. Why,
therefore, would you wish to use the
German tongue to teach principles of
piety and fraternity to your children?
The approaching legislature probably
will answer your question very en-
phatically and l think you ought to
be one of the first to agree to the
which shall speak to make
everything in this country American
home. school and church-just as
soon as we can"
Mr. Ellis has explained he has no
Jurisdiction over such schools as asked
the question.

PART IN FRANCE

| GENERAL H E A D @ U A Frs,
ERICAN EXPEDITION A R Y
FORCE, Jan. 1.-The prodigious effort
of the medical department in the army
| in France is revealed in statistics
which The Associated Press is now
permitted to make public. When, on
/ Nov. IL, the armistice suspended hos
tilities and the great expansion and
! extension work of the medical depart
ment was suspended, there were in
! operation 283,240 beds in camp and
| base hospitals and convalescent camps
with about 100000 Of them vacant.
| There were on duty in the American
Expeditionary Force at that time r.
| 9S9 doctors and 1888 nurses. The au-
thorized nurse strength of the army
when America entered the war was
2O6 and Of doctors 300. figures that
/ testify to the work the medical corps
was called upon to perform.
The disqualification of the army in
France is interesting. Basically it
consists of mobile organizations. To
each division there are four field hos
pitfalls. two evacuation hospitals and
one mobile surgical hospital and in
addition there is fixed disqualification,
consisting Of camp and base outfits
and convalescent camps, with an au-
thorized bed capacity of Is percent Of
the strength Of the command.
There are now s. camp hospitals
serving training and billeting areas
while for general service and for the
treatment of more serious cases and
battle casualties there are lis base
hospitals. These base hospitals oc-
casionally are single institutions Of
from 1000 to 5000 beds or are group
ed in hospital centers. Twenty such
centers OF from $500 to $1,000 beds
are in operation.
Convalescent camps at the bed rate
of twenty percent Of normal hospital
beds are authorized for the purpose
of giving as early graduated physical
training as possible and fifteen such
icamps are in operation at present.
The American hospitals are partly
in French barracks. school buildings
and hotels and partly in constructed
cantonment of demountable buildings.
All the buildings taken over were re-
modelled and outfitted for the purpose,
lighted and heated and modernized.
while the demountable huts are mod
els of their kind.

Mrs. Claude Holly and Daugh.
ter Stranded Here After
Long Automobile
Trip.

Mrs. Claude Holly. wife Of a
farmer living near Stanton, Neb.,
yesterday was sent to her home by
T. H. Werlich, superintendent of the
Board of Public Welfare, after she
told story of having been drugged
while in the company of two men
and woman who brought her to
Omaha in an automobile and left
her stranded in the strange city with
her 3-year-old girl.
Mrs. Holly asserted that while
she was going from Stanton to Nor
folk to take her daughter for med
ical treatment, she accepted the hos
pitality of strangers who offered to
take her in their automobile. In
stead of going to Norfolk, she
stated, the strangers took her to
Central City and then promised to
take her home in the automobile,
but they brought her and the daugh-
ter to Omaha. She said she was in a
half-dazed condition during the ride
from Central City and that she was
unable to give descriptions of the
strangers.
Mr.. Holly promptly telegraphed
money for the return of his wife and
daughter when their plight was
made known by Mr.. Werlich and
the husband explained that he be-
lieved his wife had gone to Norfolk
to have the daughter treated.
