Would Eliminate
 German in Schools

New York, Dec. 30-A nationwide campaign is being conducted by the American Defense Society to elimi- nate the teaching of German in the schools throughout the United States. In a letter written the principals of public schools, private schools and colleges throughout the country the Society urges that French, Italian, Spanish and Russian should be given prominence in the curriculum with a view to streE gthening trade relations between these countries. The letter which is signed by Dr, William T. Hornaday, reads:
 Reports are rifa that with the ending of the war t;'ere is to be an attempt to force upon our American youth the language of the people whose hands are stained with the blood of their fathers and brothers The German language has been used as a weapon directed at the heart of America by German propagandists. It is the opinion of many of our prominent educators that German is not an essential in any course of study, and it is to be hoped that our AmeFlcdH youlh VIII HoI pel illit It's being forced upon them for any req son whatsoever. The next five years will witness a specialization of edu- cational opinion and upon that cry stallization will depend the future of American education.
 For those who would study a language for it's future utility the choice lies between French Spanish, Iatlian and Russian as our trade rela- tions with these countries will be inn measurably increased now that peace is in sight. To study German would be to condone the atrocities per petrated by the peo.,le who speak this language

 Cities.

 Reports from the country indicate there Is plenty of work there, but cf- ficials have found difficulty in inGuc- ing laborers to leave the cities par ticularly in a time of social unrest like the present.
 More than 200, 900 yards of gray German uniform cloth has come into the hands of the Americans from he warehouses at >Coblenz, and the Americans are considering how to use 1t. It may be practicable to die 1t and release 1t for use. In a ware house in Coblenz LutzeI, across the Moselle river from this city, Ameri- l cans have found S0,000 pounds of | shoe leather and machinery for re- rairing shoes. A plan is under con | sIderation to use this repair factory 1 for remaking shoes for the army of | occupation. The machinery can be | operated by the Americans, and the leather is of good quality, showing g that the Germans had everything necessary in the line of footwear.
 In shop windows in Coblenz, how l ever, can be seen shoes the soles of which are made of from Is to 20 small pieces of leather. It is almos. impossible to buy a pair of shoes tha, is properly soled.

CLAIM BURL.ES0N
 BROKE FAITH
By Taking Over Gables After Armistice Was
 Signed.

Washington, Dec. 30-By taking over control of the cables after the armistice was signed, Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson came very close to breaking faith with congress" Sena- tor Hitchcock, of Nebraska, chairman of the senate foreign relations com mittee. declared in the senate today in commenting on a letter received from the Postmaster General explain ing his action.
 In his letter which Senator Hitch cock put into the record, the postmas- ter general explained that the order providing for the taking over of con- trol of the cables and signed on Mo- vember 2, was based upon a ruling of the attorney general that such ac- ton was legal.
 Senator Hitchcock declared that while the order might have been signed by the President on that date, it had not been countersigned by the Secretary of State, while announce ment of such intention had been suppressed, the country not knowing anything of it."
 The postmaster general, the sena- tor added, did something that was entirely outside of the authority con- gress intended to give him." and by taking such action even after the war had ended, he came in very close faith with congress" T don't be- lieve," he added, that any intelligent persons will support the postmaster general in the claim that because the order was signed on November he was justified in taking over the cables"
 Even with the attorney generals ruling, Postmaster General Burleson was no: vindicated." Senator Kellogg of Minnesota declared. He added that MT. Burleson had violated the good faith of congress"

ANTITRUST
 LAWS STILL
 IN EFFECT Concerted Price Fixing To be Regarded As Restraint
 of Trade. TO ENFORCE
 LAWS STRICTLY Idea Prevailed That Situa- tion Was Full of
 Danger.

Washington, Dec. 30-Concerted price-fixing by any industry after the government ceases to exercise price control, January 1, will be regarded by the department of justice as in re- straint of free competition, It was stated today. The explanation was made officially in answer to queries as to what happens to war time price fixing when the war industries board ceases to function at midnight to- morrow.
 The attitude of the department of justice. as outlined by Attorney Gen eral Gregory, Is that the antitrust laws, still effective, will be enforc- ed vigorously by the department. They have been in full effect through out the war, but the department has not regarded the action of industry in maintaining prices fixed by the government as contrary to law.
 Other department of justice officials. who heretofore have had charge of prosecutions under the antitrust laws declared that when the war industries board ceases to exerci SC control Of prices January 1, any act of a group of business men tending to prevent free play of competition will be ex- amined in the light of the law. It is felt that although an immediate eff feet of price agreements might be temporarily to keep prices down and thereby benefit consumers, this result might soon change and that conse- quently the situation is full of danger. There is no provision in the law for consideration of whether the effect of the suppression of competition might be benevolent"
 It was said that so far the depart ment had not given particular atten- ton to the steel industry, which sub mitted to the war industries board a revise1 list of prices to be effective after January 1. The board did not pass upon the prices and declined to continue it's supervision.
