GERMANS TRYING } ID RUN NEBRASKA
Using Every Effort to Regain
 Lost Power

Omaha, Dec. 1.-The Germans of Nebraska are making desperate eff forts to regain the power they lost in the state because of the war They are carrying the fight in all directions. They are before the Nebraska su- preme court in an effort to nullify the foreign language laws in the schools: they are working in the legislature to secure their former standing in pa- rochIal school work; they are at tempting to grasp the balance of pow CT Tn the state constitutional conven- tlon to be held next month; they are trying to nullify the Am mericanization laws of the state and they are open ly threatening to do as they please in the matter of teaching the German language in their schools .
 One e-eighth of the voters of Nebras- ka are German. One-half the voters of Nebraska. are foreign born or 'chil- dren of foreign born. In one school in Omaha in which there are 61 pu- pills r different languages are spok- en. With so many foreigners in the state the real Americans have got to put Up the fight of heir lives to keep the Germans from gra abbng every thing in sight
 
 day is to get the teaching of their language back into the public schools When America entered the war Ger man was taught. in the grammar public schools all over the state Children from to IS studied Ger man just as they did English, The German-Am erican Alliance had got a, law through the legislature making it obligatory upon school boards to teach German wherever a certain pro- portion of the patrons of the schools asked for it. And the Germans saw to it that Germany was asked for. In some districts the public schools were simply turned over to the Germans. That law was repealed in the last leg islature and a law was ena cted pro- hibiting the teaching of any language except English in any school, public or parochial, to any child below the ninth grade.
 The Germans are now after that law. Some months ago they went in to court and asked an injunction pre- Venting the law from becoming effec- tive. The injunction was denied. Now they have taken the case to the state supreme court. Two or three weeks ago the Lutheran Missouri Synod, the German church, most of whose preachers came from Germany, de- clared it must be free to "decide for itself the best ways and means to save souls And one of the ways and means of doing so was to teach German to the children.
 Some weeks ago the discovery was made that in absolute defiance of the law, a German school had opened in Hamilton county. The school had been authorized by the school board Of the district. There were 5S pupils enrolled. The authorities forced this school to close. But the fact that it had been officially opened and was attended by so many pupils is being pointed to by Americans as an indl- cation of the mood and disposition of the Germans in the state.-
