Study Of Kultur

Among the aims set within the con-
stitution Of the new league are the
education Of citizens in the history
snd institutions of the United States,

oi the German tongue and Kultur. It's
position on these questions differs only
IN wording from the ostensble pur-

The new league announces that it is

United States. 1t strongly declares for

CHICAGO, June 27.-The German
American Citizens League, which has
protested to Congress against the Sc
verify of the peace terms imposed upon
Germany, was born in Chicago, but
is designed to be nationwide in its
scope and activities.
In it's purposes the league bears a
striking resemblance to the defunct
German-American Alliance. 1t is the
very opposite of the alliance, however,
In one respect-it frankly avows de-
termination to take political action
whenever occasion arises. The Ger
man-American Alliance, it will be re-
membered, was barred by reason of its
Federal charter, which Congress re-
pealed about two years ago, from TAX
ing part in politics. To be sure, the
alliance gave little heed to the law pro-
hibiting its participation in political
efairA its leaders getting into politics
up to their necks, even before the
world war, and then, after 1914, doing
Everything in their power to serve the
interests of Germany by influencing
voters and government.
The difference between the two or
CARNATIONS, the dead-a -and-buried alli-
ence and the German American Citi-
zens' League, is more apparent than
real. In frankness and honesty the
advantage lies with the new society.
It declares its purpose of being a po-
Iitieal organization and so, in trying
70 carry out this policy, it will not
have TO resort to the deception and
subterfuge practised by the German
American alliance.

And They Thought
 We Couldn't Fight

The words contained in the above caption appear in black on . mottled blue background on one of the most striking and eloquent posters. that will appear throughout the United States during the Victory Liberty Loan Campaign that opened April Fl and will close May 10.
 There is no mass of detail in this amazingly effective poster. that is 2 real work of art. The central figure. and the only fig ure. is that of an American sol dier boy. He is emerging out of the gloom over there. with a grin-not smile-on his face. Over his right shoulder is his rife with bayonet affixed. In his rifle hand in. addition to the weapon is . German helmet. In the other hand. swinging at his left. are two more Hun helmets.
 But the figure there is the thing that makes one swell with pride and patriotism. It depicts adoughboy emerging from &C., ton. Clad in khaki. his coat is opened at the front. and his un. dershirt is stained with blood. A bandage on his left arm is also crimsoned.
 But that grin. coupled with. And they said we couldn't fight. shows what this boy and millions of others like him were willing l., sacrifice for the Stars and Strines,

Uniforms For Discharged
 Officers and Men

6. The act of Congress ap. proved February g, 1919. pro- vides that any person who ser- we'd in the United States Army during the present war may wear the uniform after discharge provided that it shall include some distinctive mark to be pre- scribed by the Secretary of War. The red chevron has been pre- scribed to be worn by discharged enlisted men as a recognition of duties performed in the service of the country. This is new al- so designated as the distinctive mark required by the before-men- toned act and will be worn by discharged officers and enlisted men alike. This also applies to discharged officers who accept commissions in the Officers Re- serve Corps. until called to ac- tive duty. when the rcd chevron will be removed. A chevron will be worn point up midway between the elbow and shoulder on the left sleeve of the coat and overcoat and on the shirt when worn without the coat. It is un- lawfulsunder the National De- fence Act for the uniform to be worn by discharged officers or enlisted men without this dis tinctive mark, and the offender renders himself liable to civil prosecution and punishment by a fine not exceeding $3OO or by imprisonment not exceeding six months. or by both such fine or Imprisonment. A supply of these chevrons will be kept on hand at all demobilization camps and at all Quartermaster rooms for sale to honorably discharged of. ficers.
 2. All commanding officers are enjoined to see that all off. cers and enlisted men about to be discharged are informed of the provisions of this circular.

French Valuables
Found in the Ruins

Paris. April 17-(Correspondenc
American troops who have been
working in the shell torn areas of
France have been recovering many
valuables Of various sorts buried in
the ruins. All these finds are turned
over to the French Ministry of
Finance which is endeavoring to dis
cover the original owners or their
heirs. All unclaimed treasures go to
tho state.
Members of the American Second
Army Corps recently unearthed at
Avoucourt large number of French
and Russian railway bonds which had
lain in the cellar of a demolished
home since the. Germans first in
vaded the sector. The bonds were all
in good condition and bore coupons
which had not been clipped since
July. 1914. Whether the owner is
dead or alive will be determined by
the Ministry of Finance.
Among the valuables recovered are
many belonging to ruined churches.
Not infrequently when several
churches in a town have been des-
troyed and each of them has lost
similar treasures it is impossible to
say who is the owner Of the wealth
recovered. In this case it is divided
among them.

four French orphans. The girls feel
that as much attention is needed
this year as last for the little folks,
therefore are laying plans to raise
the necessary funds. The expense is
about $S5 a year per child. hence the
club paid out nearly $50 last year
for the support Of these four child
rem. In return, they have the salts

ones were sufferers to the extent
that many were and the girls

Their father. French soldier, was
killed early in the war.
The children bear the surname Of
