TeachinQ Amer1can1sn1

The Americanizaton division of the bureau
of education, mindful Of the fact that the federal
census is soon to be undertaken in the United
States is calling public attention to the various
percentages of people unable to speak English
in the population centers of the country at the
time of the last census, for the purpose of i'm
pressing the gains brought about by the educa-
tional work of the Amercanization division
when the new figures shall be made known.
By the quoted figures it is shown that the
born whites unable to speak English is jack
sonvllle, Fla, with only al of the total foreign
born inhabitants. Charleston S. c.. comes next
with AZ per cent; Washington, D. C., next with
ST. per cent; Atlanta, Ga, next with SO per
cent, and Seattle fifth with 65 per cent. Port
land Ore, is 18th, with 80 per cent The city
with the greatest percentage of foreignborn
unable to speak English is Milwaukee, with 354
per cent; with Cleveland, 3l4 per cent; Pitts
burgh, 27.8 per cent; Chicago, 244 per cent;
New York City, 22.7 per cent, and St. Louis, 1876
per cent.
The teaching of the English language is very
properly regarded as an essential in the Ameri-
canization of the foreign-born. He must under
stand the language of the country before he
can understand and enter into the spirit of its
people. Within the last two years a work of
some magnitude has been attempted in this be-
half. The great population centers and the
larger industrial centers have offered inviting
fields for this work. and the Americanization
teachers have found willing pupils, eager to be
placed on a par with American citizens gener-
ally. 1t is believed that the coming census re-
turns will show marked decrease in the per-
centages of -English-spea foreign-born
in the districts where their numbers were great
est.
The non-English- speaking foreign born resi-
dent Of the United States appears to have been
more than willing all along, to be taught Amer
icanism and the language of the country. Be
fore the war he was given little attention by
the government. The task of uniting public
opinion in America for the defense of the ma
TONS interests impressed the need of Ameri-
canizing many foreign-born who were still
thinking in European terms. The government
awakened to tardy recognition of this cond-
ton and it paid the penalties. for time of its
long continued neglect.-Seattle Post-ln-

Chs7aG' s Reservation

Quite apart from the sympathy for China
THAT has been created through the refusal OF
the peace congress to permit it to make reser-
Ivations to the Shantung settlement there is a
side Of the matter that bears upon the possible
Experience of the United States. Will the pow

reservations agree to reservations made BY the
United States senate? This is a matter easily
Etested. Mr.. Root, in fact, has proposed that

Tor the safeguarding of purely American inter

there should be expressions favorable then there

! But Mr.. Wilson is quoted as saying that it
would be impossible to gain the consent Of all
the signatory powers. Certainly there would
lie no reason for any to object if the leading
bowers should yield assent. unless China should
object in retaliation for the debarment of its
reservations. Other powers might take similar

Plight of the R-34.

Pending report from the commander of
the R-34 on the experiences encountered during
the transatlantic trip, it is idle perhaps to spec
ulate on his troubles. 1t is plain, however, that
difficulties unforeseen were met. In trial trip
the great vessel was taken over a route of 1000
miles, principally above the Baltic, and returned
with sufficient fuel to have carried on for an
other forty hours Normally, this would have
brought the great dirigbe safely to landing
on Long Island we'll within its fight limit
Loss of the hydrogen gas is easily enough ex-
planned. Balloonists know how hard it is to
maintain buoyancy after a day and a night in
the air. Whatever may have been the reason
for the delay and the consequent plight of the
R-34. students of aeronautics will feel sure that
the trip has brought much knowledge of real
value to their science. Things that only could
be guessed at have been tried by actual contact
and better understanding of what must be
done before regular voyages practical will
follow from this pioneer journey.

"First-Class Accommodations"

A group of American army officers, detached
from regular command and listed as casuals,
were required to take passage home from
France without "frst-class accommodations.
This means they had to put up with the condi-
tons under which the enlisted men are trans
ported. And why not? They spent several
days and nights acquiring some first hand
knowledge of phase of life, they formerly
knew of only by observation. 1t may do lot
of them good Most of the officers of the
American army realize the fact that they are
constituted of the same clay as the "doughboy,"
but some affect sort of superiority that has
no support save in snobbshness They were
all soldiers, bent on the same mission. Those
who were chosen officers had greater authority
and responsibility thrust upon them, and were
allowed some privileges that did not extend to
the ranks. 1t must be kept in mind, too, that
the watchful care that Uncle Sam gave to his
enlisted men did not fully attend those whom
he commissioned In many ways the officer
was denied things the soldier had. Especially
was this true in regard to mess arrangements,
clothing and the like. Only for the morale of
the service was the line drawn sharply between
officer and man. Those who ride home from
Europe in the hunks between decks should
not grumble, because they have learned lesson
of true democracy in the service of their coun-
try, the effect of which will be shown in ma
tional affairs as years 60 by.

EUROPEAN NATIONS NOT BANKRUPT

Oscar T. Crosby returns from Europe with
the assurance that the nations over there are
not bankrupt. Mr.. Crosby, who was assistant
secretary of the treasury and for the last two
years was chairman OF the interallied council
on war purchases, ought to know what he is
talking about. He says, further, that affairs in
Europe are slowly settling down to a peace
basis, regardless of the persistence of numerous
little wars and upheavas that amount almost
to revolutions These political disturbances
soon will give way to the more important bust
ness of recognizing the industrial and COM
mercial life of the nations that have been at
war or which have emerged from the war. 1t
is good to be assured that none of these is
bankrupt in the sense of having reached the
end of its resources.
Germany is undoubtedly in the worst pre-
dcament, having been required to assume the
enormous burden of the indemnity in addition
to its own war debt Germans are amazed at
the taxes they will have to pay, but tacitly
admit the capacity of the country for producing
enough to meet the bill. France and Belgium
are far better off than were the southern states
at the end of the civil war, while Russia merely
awaits the establishment of responsible govern
ment to again become a producer as we'll as
consumer.
The internal problems of the disturbed re-
gions may we'll be left to the people themselves
to settle While these are of great Importance,
none are of nature to warrant outside inter
ference Americans are mainly concerned over
the plans for financing the reconstruct =. work.
Although nothing is said about details, much
money will be required to carry on the opera
tons of rehabilitation. Whether this is to be
provided through government borrowing, or
from private loans is likewise undetermined.
Wisdom suggests the latter. The government
credit Of all European nations is strained, and
to assume the burden of aiding in the restora-
ton of private enterprise would put too great
load on the public. Renewal of business life
will be slower, perhaps, but more substantial
and enduring if it is carried on through private
enterprise.
just now the condition of the world requires
the exertion of all the powers of all the people
in production, that the tremendous wastage of
the war may be compensated. 1t is a task for
ALL and will not soon be done.

Hostages for the Hohenzollern.

Men whose lives were devoted to and whose
fortunes were bound up in the imperial mill
taristic regime in Germany asking that
blame for the great war be placed on them, and
that the late kaiser be exonerated. Among
these are the sons of the deposed emperor
who appeal to King George of England to be
allowed to stand as proxies for their father
in the prisoners dock. These young men may
learn that it is not King George, nor President
Wilson, nor the head of any of the allied gov
ernments, that is demanding the trial of the
former autocrat of Germany. 1t is the people
of world he threatened, whose sense of right
and justice he so ruthlessly outraged, whose
sensibilites he callously shocked by the hideous
deeds he sanctioned, that now insist he be
brought to trial. In 1914 the appeal of King
George that peace might be maintained went
unheeded by the men who were determined
upon war with all its horrors. They scarcely
have right to expect the mercy they did not
