To Aid War Victims.
Quota Is $4,000; Soliciting Or.
ganiZatiOn Formed.

Plans were made at a meeting at the
Frederick Y. M c. A. Monday night to
begin campaign in friedrich city and
county on Monday for fund of 81, 500,
this amount being the county's quota in
"a countrywide campaign for $4,000, 900
for stricken and suffering people of
Northern France The immediate section
of that devastated country to which the
fund will be applied is the Aisne section,
where thousands of people are living in
cellars, caves, dugouts, quarries and
many with no shelter at all. 1t was de-
cided to occupy the remainder of this
week in placing before the people some
idea of the awful misery and suffering
that now exists among the unfortunate
to be assisted. 1t is felt that if only a
bit of the true conditions of the Aisne
country could be realized that the splen-
did citizenship of Frederick county would
rally to cause that stands alone in the
history of civilization.
The meeting was presided over by
Judge Glenn H. Worthington, who out
lined the object of the campaign. He
stated that N Wnslow Williams, secre-
tary of state under former Governor
Crothers, made up an urgent appeal in
behalf of this relief 81 felt somewhat
reluctant" said Judge Worthington, ,"to
obligate myself to enter upon another
drive for funds, but when | heard Mr..
Williams describe the real state of affairs
that existed in Northern France, when
heard him say that little children had not
had drop of milk for three years, that
1900, 900 yonng men had been killed in
the great war and another 1000, 900
crippled, and that unless relief car me,
misery, starvation and death would fol-
low, felt it my Christian duty to do all
| could to aid the undertaking. Emory
l.. Coblentz, who also heard Mr.. Will
Hams, expressed the same sentiment.
The meeting was organized by the cleo
ton of William W. Doub, Chairman; Ed
ward S. Delaplaine, secretary, and
Charles Nee. Matthias, treasurer. Post

RETURN TO WORK AT ONCE
Textile Workers at Paterson, n. j.,
Will End Their Strike.

Paterson. n. J.. Feb. 12.-Striking
textile workers here will return to
work at the mills tomorrow, in ac-
cordance with an agreement reached
in Washington by representatives of
the strikers and the mill owners, I'M
der which the war labor board will
intervene to settle the dispute.
The war labor board is to proceed
Immediately with It's investigation and
both sides have agreed to abide by its
decision. A TO ,ty-se yen hour week is
asked by the strikes. The mill own
ers ask for fifty hours.
The radical element among the
strikers announced a decision to con-
tinue the strike. The radicals, how
ever. are comparatively small in num-
bers and officials of the United Tex
tile Workers declared they would be
unable to force a continuance of the
strike, in view of the agreement
reached at WASHINGTON.

Bergen who has been ill for more thai
week will be able to be out by that
time.
AS to just what per cent of the
delegates of the State Bankers asso-
citation will join in the program for
boosting the proposed state reserve
bank is a matter that seems in doubt.
There are a good many things to in
dictate that quite a few of the dele
gates coming to Topeka will come to
fight rather than to boost and in some
quarters it is rumored that two camps
may be established by the pros" and
the .antis.''
Opposition To Bill.
1t is certain that out in that part of
Kansas where the sun goes down last
in the long winter season there is OPP
position to the Bergen bill among the
state bankers-strong opposition. Sen
ator James Malone, who represents the
big northwestern district, has felt out
this part of the state very carefully,
and, being a representative of the peo-
pie who believes he should represent
them regardless of his own opinions.
he is going to oppose the passage of
the bill as doggedly as he knows how.
Malone has ninety banks in his dis
trict, only sixteen of which are nation
al banks. He has written letter to
every one of these enclosing a copy of
the Bergen bill and asking for an
opinion of its merits. He asserts that
from the ninety he wrote to seventy
five have replied stating they were OPP
posed to the establishing of a state re-
serve bank. Five have written that
they favor it, five that they do not
care what is done and the remainder
have not answered at all.

institution with the members of Sem
ator Snyder's committee standing in
the receiving line and acting as hosts.
The Snyder committee held an open

GOODBYE, 'GLUCK AUF'
Governor Allen Puts Ban on Teaching
German in Schools,

Governor Allen Puts Ban on Teaching
German in Schools.
Governor Allen is opposed to the
teaching of German in either the pub
lie or private schools of the state. In
a letter which he sent to Jacob J..
Regier of Whitewater the governor as
serted that only 100 per cent Ameri-
canism would stand the real test in his
judgment. German Mennonites in the
Whitewater district sought the gov
ernor's opinion concerning teaching of
German in a private school.
Several measures now before the
state legislature prohibit the teaching
of other than the English language in
schools of the state. The elementary
language in all schools of the state,
Governor Allen declared, must be Eng
fish. He could see, however. no OBJ
| jection to the teaching of any Ian
guage that tended toward breadth and
culture of the student.
Kansas has been peculiarly fortu-
nate in the character of the citizenship
| of those who have come to it from for
| eign countries. The problem of assim-
! ilation of those who come to US to
/ share our privileges and bear our bur-
denS is not one to be compared with
manysother sections. At the same tins
l do not think it sound policy that
| this country should have a community
| based upon the language and custom
of a foreign land. The spirit and at
mosphere should be American. Its
| language and customs should be con-
| sistent with the ideals of our national
| institutions, and while it is natural
| that those who have come to US from
| abroad should cherish the memories OF
| the native land, the experience of the
past four years has demonstrated con-
| clusively that sound national policy
as well as safety for this country lies
I america a.
| ton, of every element.
Il see no objection to the teaching
of any language in our schools that
makes for breadth and culture, but in
my judgment, nothing but the Eng
| lish language should be taught or used
| in the elementary school, and / trust
| and believe that on reflection you will

new TREE PLANTING BILL
Senator Metcalf Isn't in Favor of
Present Measure.


Kansas may have soldiers and
sailors tree memorial board-if the
women'S orga niZations get together
but it will not be created under the
provisions of the bill that was intro
duced by Senator Metcalf by request
| early in the legislative session. Sena-
tor Metcalf after carefully studying
the bill has informed the women that
he himself could not support it and he
has requested the state forester to
draw a new bill which probably will
be substituted in the committee on
federal and state affairs.
The original tree bill contained a
number of undesirable features. One
was that it permit the promiscuous
planting of trees all over the state re-
gard1ess of climatic and soil conditions
and regardless of whether or not trees
could be made to grow in these locali-
ties. Also it provided for the expendi-
ture of more than seventy thousand
dollars for these trees, many of which
probab bly, would die thru lack of atten-
ton or thru adverse climatic condi-
lions.
The new bill that the state forester
has drawn at the instigation of Sena-
tor Metcalf cuts the total state appro-
priations for 1919, 1920 and 1921 to
$1,000 and makes it necessary for the
state forester to approve a site before
any trees are planted or any money
expended.
Under the provisions of the new bill
trees will be furnished free by the
| state forest nurseries at Manhattan
| and Hays and the only expense the
board will be put to will be that of
paying for packing, shipping and set
ting out the trees. It is provided that
county tree boards shall consist of the
! county commissioners, the county
school superintendent and the presi-
dents of the local clubs that are mem
| bers of the state federation of wom-
| ems clubs. Sites selected by these
| boards will be recommended to the
state board and then the state forester
will have the final say.

Affairs of Kansas.

Marion, Feb. III w. Moore. one
of Marion county's most successful
pioneer farmers and stockmen, and a
striking figure in the public affairs of

neer railroad law, that has since been
the basis for railroad legislation. He
held the office of treasurer OF Marion
county for two terms. He was a well
known figure in politics.
