be no reasonable objection to such
interpretations accompanying the
act of ratification, provided they do
not form part of the formal rati-
fcation itself.
Most of the interpretations which
have been suggested to me embody
what seems to me the plain meaning
of the instrument itself. But if such
interpretations should constitute
part of the formal resolution of rat
ihcation, long delays would be the
inevitable consequence, inasmuch as
all the many governments con-
cerned would have to accept, in eff
feet the language of the senate as
the language of the treaty before
ratification would be complete.
The assent of the German assem-
bly, at Weimar would have to be OBJ
tanned among the rest, and l must
frankly say that could only with
the greatest reluctance approach
that assembly for permission to read
the treaty as we understand it and
as those who framed it quite GER
tainly understood it, If the United
States were to qualify the document
in any way, moreover, | am conf
dent from what | know of the many
conferences and debates which &C
companied the formulation of the
treaty that our example would i'm
mediately be followed in many quar-
tiers, in some instances with very
serious reservations, and that the
meaning and operative force of the
treaty would presently be clouded
from one end of its clauses to the
other.
Pardon me. MIR. Chairman, if |
have been entirely unreserved and
plains spoken in speaking of the
great matters we all have so much
at heart If excuse is needed, |
trust that the critical situation of
affairs may serve as my Justifica
ton. The issues that manifestly
hang upon the conclusions of the
senate with regard to peace and
upon the time of its action are so
grave and so clearly insusceptible of
being thrust on one side or post
poned that have felt it necessary
in the public interest to make this
urgent plea, and to make it as sim
ply and as unreservedly as possible.

LUTHERANS ASK
FOR BIL|NCUAL
SCHOOL RIGHT
Report on Years Activities
Submitted to Convention
by Peaceful Develop
ment Committee.

Seward, Neb., Aug. lo.-More del
egates and visitors arrived Monday
for the state convention of the
Lutheran Missouri synod.
In the matter of partition of the
annual convention into a north and
south Nebraska section it was decid-
ed to overcome the lodging problem
of so large a body by extending the
plan followed here this year. The
present lodging committee was in
structed to confer with the larger
cations in Nebraska and to
arrange for continuance of the
present system.
The religious education SER
mon" was held Tuesday night in
Rev. c. H. Becker's church under
charge of Rev. J. P. Miller.
"A committee of seven, which
might be called peaceful develop
ment committee" submitted a re-
quested report on its last years &C
tivities. 1t said in part:
'rhe Lutheran church in this
country is the third largest Protes-
tant religious denomination Our
synod alone has over $4,000 COM
municant members. Still our re-
ligious teachings and aims and the
history of our church and synod are
not sufficiently known by many of
out fellow citizens and legislators.
Partly it is our fault.
The result was that with the best
intentions attempts have been made
to interfere with the regular re-
ligious work of our bilingual
churches and schools. Who would
think of prohibiting parents from
having their children instructed in
piano lessons below the eighth
grade? Haven't parents the same
right to choose the language, in
which, besides the English, their
children shall learn the soul saving
truths? Language is not the gospel,
but it is the vessel, the means, the
channel, by which the water of life
is brought into the >heart. AS we
love the gospel let us foster lam
guages.' In accordance with this
motto our synod had professorships
in English as we'll as other modern
and ancient languages in its semin-
airy and college at St. Louis, already
long before the civil war. So, while
we acknowledge the sincerity and
good intentions of friends, we must
be free to decide which are the best
ways and means to save souls under
given circumstances.
, Rev. F. Pfotenhauer, president of
the joint synod, left today to attend
the convention of the Iowa district.

NatiOnalization of Coal:
(NeW York World)

The United Mine Workers of America, have come out suuarelv in their convention at Cleveland for the naturalization of the coal mines Their plan is like the Plumb plan for the .natjonalization of railroads The government is to purchase the mines at their actual value as ap- praised ny federal agents and the mines are then to be operated by a hoard. Wherein the government and min CTS will be equally re1resented. <. As With the Plumb railroad plan and practi sally speaking, this would be an arrangement for operating the mines at the sole risk of the owners who would be all the people of the country, and to the exclusive profit of the miners, or a comparatively small class among the people. Tine legislation proposed would thus be class legislation and the governm ent it would set up would to that extent be a, government by and for a class among the people instead of by and for the people.
 It is to be said for the miners however, that their plan is submitte d in a better spirit than was manifest ed by the railroad brother hoods with the Plumb plan. Public acceptance in that case was made alternative to a tie-up of the roads ''so tight that they would never run again. No threat of freezing the country tC death the coming winter is made by the coal-mirers if their plan is not accepted out of hand. But the fact remains that when either plan has been adopted the government of the United States will have ceased to be in fundamental principle what it has ever been before.
