New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1919-05-28
A TWo-S1ded QUESTION:

1t may be all right to have German
replaced by Spanish in the curriculum
of our high schools as the trend at present
seems to be. And there is nothing to
be said against the argument brought
forth by some members of the St. Peter
Board of Education at their meeting last
week that Spanish is likely to prove
to be the commercial language of the
future, so far as America is concerned"
But what about the other values of
language, especially of the German Ian
guage, outside of the commercial field?
They may not make their returns in cold
coin but they help materially in develop
ing our whole intellectual life on which
to great extent rests the civilization of
our nation. More than anything else
has this consideration led the English
government to extend study Of German
in their schools. And it made A. Meillet,
professor of the College de France,
one of the most prominent linguists of
of our time, exclaim in his book, 'About
the Languages Of the New Europe"
''The knowledge of the German language
forces itself upon every man who wants
to be educated .. Not to know
German ism almost every caseto forego
the privilege to stand on the highest
level of science and technique Of our
times - IT. is to he noted that Mei1]at's
book was printed in Paris in 1918 when
national hatred and all other war pas
sions were still at their height. A little
more quiet and unbiased reasoning may
| help some of those who have to shape
the destinies of our young to form a
different opinion in regard to the value
! of the German language, not even ex-
Guiding the future commercial field.

Ants on Peonies.

For number of years many persons
in various parts of the country have
complained of ants destroying the buds
on the peonies.
To rid peonies of these ants, cut a
circular piece of heavy paper or heavy
cardboard, about two feet in diameter,
and put hole in the center just large
enough to allow the stem or main
stalks of the peony to pass through,
and then slit from the center to one
edge, to enable you to place the circu-
lar rim of paper round the plant.
Smear molasses on the surface of
the cardboard, and then scatter little
arsenic powder over the sticky mo-
lasses.
The ants will eat of the sweet as
they go or come, and it will not be
long until you have stopped the con-
slant stream of destructive ants from
visiting the peony buds.
In some localities similar trouble
has been experienced with ants on
dahlias, and the same remedy may be
successfully used
If very thick solution of arsenate
Of lead is used with plenty of mo-
lasses, it will do the same work as the
arsenic.

Time of Birth Has Little to Do
With Genius.
Statistics Show That Nature Practical
ly Plays No Favorites in Her
Production of the Gifted
Ones of the Earth.

I Astrologers believe that the planets
''reigning" at the time of birth gov
ern us throughout life, and that, from
a literary point of view certain months
are more favorable than others in
which to be born.
Taking the hundred best British
writer's since the day of Chaucer, no
less than forty-eight were born in the
four months February, May, August
and November.
In February were born Charles Dick
ems, Pepys the diarist, and Thomas
Moore, while of more modern date
and fame are George Meredith. Israel
zangwill, Anthony Hope, Harrison
Ainsworth and Wilkie Collins.
Pope and Addison were both born
in May, as also were Browning, Ross
ETH, Moore, Bulwer Lytton, Thomas
Hood, Jerome X. jerome. and Sir
James NJ. Barrie.
August seems to be the birthmOnth
of poets, for in that month were born
Dryden, Herrick, Scott, Shelley, South
ey and Tennyson.
Apparently November is an unlucky
month for literary people. for among
those who were born in November are
Thomas Chatterton, who in disappolnt-
ment and poverty, committed suicide
at eighteen; William Cowper. who suf-
fered from melancholia and suicidal
mania, and finally died insane; Oliver
Goldsmith, continually in prison for
debt; John Bunyan, who spent II
years in prison, thereby giving us "Pil-
grim's Progress;" Swift, subject to fits
of passion and ill-humor, died insane !;
Robert Louis Stevenson suffered from
almost continual ill-heaith. and died
at forty-four.
So much for the favored months"
or the others, January saw the birth
of Bobble Burns, Byron and Lewis
Carol, author of "Alice in Wonder
land" who was also a famous mathe.
matician.
March was the birthmonth of Smol-
lett and Steele, as also of Elizabeth
Barrett Browning.
In April was born the greatest
genius the English language has
known, William Shakespeare, while
among others born in this month were
Wordsworth, Keble, Heber, Swinburne
and Herbert. Charlotte Bronte and
Anthony Trollope were also born in
this month.
June is not a very good month";
Charles Reade and Charles Kingsley
being the only two writer's.
July gave us Thackeray and George
Bernard Shaw, and those interested
In astrology may find resemblance
between the two satirists.
September and October were both
poor months, Mrs. Hemans and ii. G.
Wells being born in September and
Coleridge Keats and Sheridan in Oc-
tober.
Finally Milton, Gray and Matthew
Arnold were born in December, as
were also Jane Austin and Carlyle.
So there is hope for most people as
far as birthmonths are concerned.

REPRODUCING the Talmud.

One of the circumstances due to
the war is that it has been found nee
essary to reproduce the plates for
printing the Hebrew Talmud. orig
inally produced il the town of Will
ma, Russia. WheE this city was cap
tured by Germany the electrotypes of
the Talmud, it is reported. were used
for ammunition. To reset the work
in Hebrew would take years with an
ordinary outfit.
1t was found necessary that the
plates should be made by photo-engrav-
ing, and this work is now being done
in Montreal under the auspices of the
Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the Unit
ed States and Canada.
The Talmud contains 5000 pages, s
by IA, and it Is divided into IS volumes.
The first volume is finished, and the
second is in print now. 1t is estimated
that it will take about two years be-
fore the work is completed.

Name Mountain Roosevelt"

Impressive ceremonies attended by
many soldier and civilian friends of
the former president will mark the
dedication of Mount Theodore Roose-
welt on July 4.
Shortly after the death of Colonel
Roosevelt the pioneers of the Black
Hills met at Deadwood, S. D., and de-
cided to change the name of Sheep
mountain, near DeadwoOd, to Mount
Theodore Roosevelt. Feeling that the
spirit of Independence day typified
the ideals of the late president it was
decided to postpone the formal cere-
mony until then.
Invitations have been sent to scores
Of Colonel Roosevelt's friends by Col
Seth Bullock. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
will deliver the dedicatory address,
Clifford Pinchot, Secretary Lane and
many other national figures will be
present.

Moroccan Charm.

Moroccan wives have a recipe for
winning back affection. The suspi-
clous wife draws a line of honey from
forehead to chin and collects the drip
pings. Then she rubs the tip of her
tongue with fig leaf till i. bleeds and
soaks seven grains of salt in the blood.
This she mixes with the honey and
puts the dose in the erring husbands
food.

GIRL LOYAL TO SWEETHEART

(E'rOm San Francesca OHTOlHCiej
 Oakland, Cal.-F'aithfully trusting ln her childhood sweetheart, pretty Ellie Eyman. 20-year- old school teacher of Molnie Kas.. completed 1000 mile tourney to Oakland the other day to defend MyrI Morris, who is in the coun- ty jail harged with stealing an auto mobile.
 Tt is the wicked ways of the city rather than any evil intention that has drawn Myrl into this difficulty" the little school teacher said today. Back in Kansas he led an ideal life. He neither danced. smoked or played cards and was president of the Young Folks Country Club"
 Morris came west to make his for tune, the girl said. so they might be married. The ceremony was to have been performed May l, but he had not made the fortune, and the next news she received was of his arrest. If he were to return to Kansas he would be forgiven by everyone and they could be married, she said, weeping cop1ously all of the time.
 Morris appeared in court for arraign- ment, but continuance was granted to enable a probation officer to make in- vestigations. Morris is charged with stealing an automobile and taking it tc Los Angeles, where he sought employ ment in motion picture studio.

BATTERIES PAY D|G
 PART IN WINNING WAR

That batteries produced by the, Flee tric Storage Battery company played an important part in the war winning program was recently made known by Tom Spaulding, manager of the local
 Exide" service station. "Of course, Eixide' batteries helped Uncle Sam, said MT. Spaulding; they were in the war from the very beginning, but the government thought it best that we say nothing and saw wood However, now that the fighting's over, it won't do any harm to reminisce a bit.
 "A battleship on a cruise, for in- stance, must be absolutely self lf-depend- ent; it's got to be equipped to suc- cessfully meet 100 per cent of the emergencies that may arise. Every United States vessel of war is pro- yiGed, in addition to it's regular system ot lighting, with an auxiliary or re- serve from which it can draw current for emergency lights in case of neces- sity, and the 'Ironclad- -Exide' or 'Exide' batteries were used to supply this re- Serve. In the huge supertype of battle ship, the latest war monster built by the United States, provision for auxil- iary power for steering is supplied by an electrically operated equipment that will enable the tremendous bulk of these great ships to respond to the rudder, even should the entire engine room be out of commission. Ironclad- Exide' batteries were used here with remarkable success.
 1 Tn electric locomotive work, a war service of great importance, the 'Exide' and Ironclad- -Exide' batteries were used. And the part played by the 'Exide' battery in airplane and seaplane service would seem to have been sec ond in importance only to that of the motor itself. The 'Ezide' battery was also used for field telephone service and for telephone communication in the trenches, and many of the United States submarines called into impor- tant war service in English waters were equipped with Exide' or Iron clad-Exide' batteries.
 'If we both had the time," said MT Spaulding, T could cover practically
 the entire field of war activity and show you instances of where products of the Electric Storage Battery com
 pany were advantageously used ir levery branch of service. There is, how lever" he concluded, just one more point I want to make and that is thai
 the same dependability, sturdiness ant
 enduring quality which gave the Flee.

 teries such a prominent place in wal
 work is built right into every detai

REDS WORK IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS

(From Brooklyn Standard Union)
 It is distinctly disturbing to learn there are fifteen Sunday schools regu- larly in operation in Brooklyn in which principles of bolshevism are taught and encouragement to believe in that fan tastic doctrine given to hundreds of boys and girls. These schools are so- cialistic in their origin and largely so- cialistis in their purpose, but they go much further than American socialists are in the habit of going by praising bolshevism and acclaiming Lenine and TrotZky. Nor is that all. They up- hold men convicted here for fIouting the laws thus creating the spirit of in- surrection and bringing into contempt our system of government and those charged with its conduct.
 It requires no fine vision to see where this thing will lead to-. The certain fruits of filling the minds of the young with the poison of bolshevism, with class hatred, with disregard for the law and disrespect for our form of govern ment are anarchy. These boys and girls will grow up in the belief they should resist all authority, and not he's itate to plunge the country into chaos in order to promote their political and economic ideas.
 The world has seen what a red ter TOT bolshevism is. It has prostrated Russia and is gnawing at the founda- lions of other governments. The threat is here-is actually in this city and in other communities. especially the large industrial centers. There should be a. way to close these Sunday schools" just as there are means of combating the browth of bolshevism. This bar barous thing must be challenged and one method of doing so is by exposing its wickedness, it's utter disregard for liberty and property.

CADILLAC DECORATED
 FUR HEROIC SERVICE

Three service stripes and a wound chevron decorate the famous Cadillac, the U. $. 1126, whose trail of glory ex- tends through every fighting area made famous by the Fifth marines.
 From Chateau Thierry to Soissons, and from St. Mhiel to the Champagne front, this faithful car performed an almost human duty in it's transporta- ton of officers from one scene of bat tie to another.
 Thirty seven pieces of German shrapnel struck this car during the intense fighting near Bouresches at Chateau Thierry, and today this Cadil- lac stands in Philadelphia on recruit ing duty, exhibiting her scars, and giving vivid testimony of all the fla nous Fifth marines endured and ac- complished.
 The car went into Germany with the army of occupation, and was there decorated by it's admiring comrades men who had seen her meeting every obstacle and serving them unfalter- irgly. Three gold service chevrons were painted on the cowl to the left of the driver and one to the right
 The U.

GOOD HUNTING IN SIAM

King George wasn't the only mon- arch who changed his name since the war began" remarked John E. B. Brunn of Bangkok, Siam, says the Seattle t-Intelligencer. His bach elor majesty, the king of Siam, changed his name again before King George announced the new family name of Windsor The Siamese king, son of the late King Chulalongcorn, often changed his name. Diversity is his delight. His previous name was Valjiravudh. I can not remember his new one. When Siamese princes are born they are given 4 long string of names. Alter maturity the prince se- lects, as often as he likes, the name which he prefers.
 'Srhe kings late father had a harem of 800 wives and the progeny of princes was astonishing. The present king strange to relate, is a confirmed 1 bachelor. It is said he is a woman hater. His mother is doing her utmost I to educate the Siamese women and inn prove their ss d condition
 Hunting is our chief diversion Tigers? Oh, yes, hosts of them, but tigers really aren't game. Leave the | tiger alone and he willsnJt molest one. Our most ferocious big game is the wild buffalo, armed with short, broad horns, with which it can do fearful damage. This buffalo charges the in Stant it sees a man and fights any odds till it is dead. Our forests and streams are full of big game of all kinds. Siam would have been a para disc for America's great hunter, Col onel Roosevelt, and he could dine every day on monkey outlets and crocodile tails.
 We use trained monkeys to harvest the coconuts. They aren't useful for much else. The gibbon, which has ex- traordinarily long arms, with a. body all black except a white face, or a body all white except a black face, is a beautiful animal, but can not be trusted. The elephants, all of which are crown property, worth BLOOD each, are used for heavy lifting and pulling at the lumber mills. The kings an- nual elephant hunt is a great event. No one is allowed to shoot an elephant, but it is great fun hunting them, mounted upon tame elephants. Sometimes the wild herds become panic stricken and in the jam many of them are killed
 "Elephants are peculiarly amenable to kindness, and 'tis stupid pachy- derm, indeed, that doesn't know his own mahout. When the keeper is away the elephant won't eat, but sorrows and starves.
 Crocodile hunting is good sport The
 people of Annam are crocodile charm
 CTS, calling the reptiles out of the
 rivers to be killed. Fried crocodile
 tail is a delicacy to tempt the palats lof any one. We are very fond of it
