BERLIN GOVERNMENT MAY
USE FILMS In SCHOOLS
Plans to Help. Along Studies Of
City Children on Scientific
Subjects.

BERLIN, September 20 Correspond
ence Of the Associated Press).-The
German government is planning to
provide educational moving pictures
for the schools. The theory is that
children Of the cities never have a
chance to study zoology. botany. me-
teorology or geology. 1t is believed
they can be helped immensely by films
on these subjects.
A big German film company has ar
ranged with a Maj. krieger to pre-
pare, under the superintendency of
numerous educators and scientists, a
large number of scientific films which
can be inserted in the curriculum of
the schools and intensity the interest
in the studies. The dullest subjects of
study, such as the caterpillar. it is
planned to illustrate and make vivid.
Similarly the film will be used
wherever possible in mathematics,
physics, chemistry, and will. it Is be-
lieved, supplant much expensive ap-
paratus, time stealing experiments
and trips of investigation and study.
The difficulty seems to lie in the pro-
duction of the films, but this is
thought to be solved.

Needs o. S. Credits

II must say that American business

ness of our needs. We lost our ships
in the common cause. Have we not

could aid much by extending long
time credits, but they will not do so.
Take the case of passenger ships In
the colonial trade. The traffic be-
tween Marseille and Algiers requires
a minimum of twenty-five vessels
yet we can put only six in the serv-
ice. From France to 1ndo-China
three ships out of twenty are now
running. On the Madagascar route
we haven't a single steamer. though
| we need eight. Passengers who must
| take this voyage simply have to find
room on freighters, and even these
are few and irregular"

HOSTILITY TOWARD JEWS
SPREADING IN GERMANY
Anti-Semitic Campaign Began in
Bavaria Shortly After Armistice
and Revolution.

BERLIN. September IA Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-The
Hansa Bund of Hamburg, a mercan-
tile association of the great port, has
requested the publishers of the Ger
man Officers Gazette to publish a
demand upon the public not to read
Jewish newspapers. The demand men,
tions as some of the more prominent
German papers owned by Jews the
Berlin Tageblatt. the U1lstein papers,
Vossische Zeitung. Berliner Zeitung
tional Zeitung. This Is the latest and
most direct move in the anti-Semitic
campaign that is growing in Ger
many. 1t is another result of the rev.
olution, which, in removing the old
censorship, removed with 1t every ves-
tige of control over everything.
The pan-German papers, of course,
are behind the anti-Semitic campaign,
becoming bo1der and bolder week by
week until some virtually plead for
pogroms, while others content them
selves with earnest hopes that all &he
Jews will leave Germany or 60 to
Palestine. or anywhere else in the
world than Germany.
Hatred Of Foreign Element.
Tho agitation began. as the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent had ample
opportunity to see, in Bavaria short

ponents of Kurt Eisner and the other
Jews who constituted a part Of the
government Of the first republic in
Bavaria.
1t was furthered chiefly by the officer
caste, which found thousands of SYM

PO|[US DEMANDSAY
IN FRENCH AFFAIRS
will Take Active Part in the
| Elections to Be Held
IN. November is.
BY HENRY J. SMITH.
BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1919.


PARIS, France, October S.-The
parliamentary elections having been
fixed for November 16, from now on
will ensue one of the most unusual
political campaigns France has seen
in many years. 1t is characterized for
one thing by the introduction of the
list" system. which presents candi-
dates enbloc, and for another by the
participation of the poilus. who, after
years of heroism and fighting, stern
government.
There exists the greatest uncertain
ty and the most diverse speculation
concerning their influence. All that is
actually known is that they are solid
1y organized and constitute an ele-
ment impervious to ordinary politi-
cal temptations. But it may be said
not lend themselves to the extereme
radical elements.

Outline of Attitude.

First of all the French demobilized
soldier is not bolshevist. He is anti
bolshevist. He has returned from the
war convinced that what France
needs is stability, cooperation, sup
port and practical, efficient work for
the country. If the radical socialists
n big majority I am sure they face
disappointment. The poilu knows no
party. He is determined that the re-
,nation's burden; who froze in the
trenches. and who received wounds
from which many still suffer. shall be
accorded, both in the naming of can
didates from their ranks and in the
election of nominees pledged to their
cause They want ample provision
for the disabled and for the depend
ents of the dead. They oppose the
monopolization of public honors by
men who saw no service at the front.
Interested in Improvement.
~They are supremely interested in
the improvement of public works and
in the amelioration of distressing
conditions like the railway problem
by energetic treatment. They are
criticising the government. it is true.
1t is characteristic of the French to
criticise the government. But it will
be very wrong to imply that they are
in revolt against the present regime.
Nevertheless some, especially In the
agricultural districts. are determined
to have the present chamber of dep
uties thoroughly changed, blaming 1t
for insufficient preparedness, for the
high wages paid the munition work.
ers. and much else. In brief, it is the
p0iluS' year"
Veterans to Have Candidates.I
Another political leader predicted
that the military veterans would be
s-&-
than 10 per cent of the candidates.
For example, in the department of
the Seine, from which are elected
f1fty-four deputies, five or more will
represent the poilus' views and Sc
lections. Part Of this will be brought
about through Les Anciens Combat
tants. a society not unlike the Amer
ican Legion save the legion fore

tants ohicially, vet it is to them that

that very few of those. who fought

PARIS, France, October s.-France is
in a bad position with respect to Ter
merchant marine. The seriousness of
her case was explained to me by NJ.
Haarbleicher, director Of naval recon-
construction.
more than 100000 tons Of French
shipping were sunk in the course Of the
war by mines, torpedoes and explo-
sions," he said "At present our total
available tonnage does not exceed I.S00..
900 when we ought to have minimum
of 5000, 600 tons. This is one reason for
the paucity Of our exports.
Get Some From Britain.
Great Britain has sold us SOC, 900 tons
on easy terms since the armistice.
Within two years we hope to construct
another 2,000. 900 tons in the great snip
building yards at st. Nazafre. Toulon,

enormous strain on the national re-
sources.
Before Americas entry into the war
we had ordered 100000 tons from Ainef-

Questioned it in 1917 for war purposes

it. The matter has become SO urgent
that we have had to request President

1t seems to be an age when class
advantage is being sought without re-
gard to the rights or conditions of the
other fellow. The farmer wants high
prices, and appeals to the government
for assistance in securing the same.
THE railroad men demand with build
lgeon that the government grant ex-
lcessive increase in wages. The prof
teer in the necessities of life want an
opportunity to skin the public, and
the man who works wants to profiteer
lby demanding an enormous wage,
while the vast majority of the public,
the common people, must play the part
'of goat. If you cannot train down to
Five without consuming you are scut-
/ tied by the high price of living; if you

stant demand for class legislation,

| We are very much surprised at the
attitude of the Non-Partisan League
toward the public press in North Da-

is in complete control. In their attacks
upon other political organizations one
of the stock expressions in general

rolls glibly from the tongue of orator
and argufier. Any paper that cannot

of the drastic so-called reforms put

cult no newspaper can differ with the

The government has at last awaken
ed from the prevailing lethergy and is
making campaign against profiteers
in an endeavor to solve the problem
of the high cost of living. Extensive
and exhaustive investigation is under
way, and some items of consumption
are already dropping in price, although
the reduction is not as yet felt all over
the country. OF course there Is more
smoke than fire in this hysterical cry
of universal profiteering, but undoubt-
|edly individuals and combinations of
individuals are boarding common ne
|cessities with the object of profiteering
at the expense of the general public. II
this system and practice can be brok-
en- up by the strong hand of the law
lit can be expected that the consumer
lis to be materially benefited. Among
many people the opinion prevails that
prices will not reach the level of pre-
war time prices for years to come, but
when once peace is finally established
all over the world and men get back in
the ranks of the producers prices are
bound to reach lower level, and we
would not be surprised that when re-
lductiOn commences the bottom will fall
out of the high cost Of living and the
slump will pinch many who are caught
overloaded with high priced goods.

Mexican bandits captured two Amer
lean army aviators last week and de-
mand $4,000 ransom for their release
with the threat that if the money was
not paid the prisoners would be MUIR
dered. The ransom was paid but now
the officials are SO stirred up over the
incident that war with Mexico may re-
|sult. This is the fruit of "watchful
waiting" as practiced when the Ameri-
lcan army was ON the border in 1916
Had the army been permitted to have
gone in and captured Villa at that
time it would have put an end to the
continual trouble on the border.

the report that there is liable to be a
lgreat break in the solid south at the
next general election. Recently we had
IAN opportunity to meet a very intelli-
lgent gentleman who had spent some
months in Washington. and he declar-
ed that he had been informed by con-
Igressmen from Texas that If the re-
lpublicans should nominate some man
with known backbone and unques-
ltioned Americanism next year that
Texas would throw its ELECTORAL vote
to him. Considering the fact that Tex
Jas is always good for democratic ma
liority up to the neighborhood of half

state going republican would seem
Ipreposterous, but the result in the
lrock-ribbed democratic Kentucky dis
trict gives some color to the predic-
ltion of the Texas solon.

Rufus Woods, one of the publishers
Of the Wenatchee World is nursing a
sore head. This job Of nursing fell to
his lot through calling down social
ist speaker, who was lying about the
Wenatchee World and other publca-
tons, organizations and people. 1t re-
quired some nerve on the part of Mr..
Woods to resent this attack upon his
publication in the midst Of crowd,
largely made up of men who would
not hesitate to resort to force, provid-
ing force could be resorted to with
out greatly jeopardizing their own
skins. The speaker and Mr.. Woods ex-
changed epithets and Mr.. Woods ad-
vanced toward the speaker. With the
of the l. w. W., of which the speaker
is an apologist, some one struck Mr..
Woods from behind with chair, and
then made his escape before he could
be identified. 1t is regrettable that
some American was not near at hand
to inflict such punishment upon the
pusillanimous coward that such cow
ardice deserves. However, the man
who made the assault is not altogether
to be blamed. He was merely follow
ing out the principles that the speak
err advocates, the destruction of all
who do not pacifically swallow the
tenets of socialism, anarchy and bo-
shevikism. These agitators preach the
doctrine of destruction and should be
held responsible for the acts of vio-
lence committed by their followers
