AND THE SCHOOLS.

YESTERDAY the Supreme court of Nebraska hand

tonay Of state law passed for the purpose OF cuamg
ne use Of foreign languages in Nebraska schools part
81 the Amercanization policy That settles the legal
phase Of question which very large percentage of the
American people probably were surprised to find in
lie courts, but merely opens up practical problem of
education which going to cause lot OF trouble before
itsis solved in satisfactory manner
In state like Nebraska where there is large German
Element the sngeness Of whose loyalty was under suspicion
practically up until this country entered the war, and
Where there still is an unhealthy amount Of pac6sm,
foreign language ought to be taught below the high school
for long While There probably communities where
itwould be we'll to put ban on German even in the high
school.
But we ought to be sensible about this foreign language
business and not run the risk of cutting off our noses to
spite our faces Just because we do not like the way the
German citizens this country behaved any more than the
world likes the way the German armies behaved in Bel
gum and northern France there is reason why we
should deprive our youth of knowledge of a language
which would prove short cut to lot of learning OF
decidedly practical kind.

ii very short time Nothing we could do would better
serve the material interests of Europe as whole and of
Germany in particular, than to tum our backs upon the
fest of the world and Try to go alone. That is what
China did, and from the Occidental standpoint China is
tne 81 the most pathetic failures in history.
What we really need to do in this great Republic is to
ay our hand in the affairs Of the world fearessly and
Vigorously as BELTS the most advanced most prosperous
and most powerful people in the world today We
do that by deliberately deciding not to teach our chill

RUFF STUFF

Two hundred barrels Of New Eng
and rum were shipped out of Boston
today to Smyrna.
Does any one know right off the reel
what the fare is to Smyrna?
BIZ the way, the local agents for
steamship lines might drum up lit
tle extra business if they are to ad-
ysrtise the wet places their lines
reach.
Anyhow what is the idea Of sending
firey stuff like New England rum to
the near East?
MOhammedans are supposed to be
teetotalers
But Of course there is always a
spinkling Of good Christians in the
blg towns.
However It does seem little out Of
wliacls to'be shipping good old stuff to
tfs Turks while people right in New
England towns are dying because
they could not get anything else to
drink but wood alcohol decoctions,

The small crowd which attended
the meeting in the opera house here

to reduce the high cost of living would

hands and faces were the only samples they

The following age of females made larger
discoveries of their complexion They first
of all tucked up their garments to the elbow,
and Notwithstanding the tenderness Of the sex,
were content for the information of mankind,

About the same time, the ladies consider
ing that the neck was very modest part in
the human body, they freed it from those
yokes in which the simplicity of their grand
mothers had enclosed it, In proportion as the
age refined, the dress still sunk lower; so that
when we now say woman has handsome
neck, we reckon into it many of the adjacent
parts.

said that this was the second time In worlds series that player was ever expelled. Frank Chance, the old Cub leader, was said to have been the first. Lynn took up the work behind the plate and Duncan flied to Jackson. It was pretty catch by Jackson but his throw to the plate was little wide. Lynn got the ball but Roush crossed the plate Williams steadied wonderfully in the seventh and eighth, retiring the side in rotation. He was taken out in the Sox half of the eighth to allow Murphy to bat and Mayer succeeded him as pitcher.
 The final run of the game was made off Mayer, former National league twirler. He sent one to Roush, which the Reds outfielder tapped to- ward Ed Collins. The Chicago cap tain fumbled the ball and Roush was given lift. Mayer was unsteady and Duncan drew free ticket to first Kopf came along with perfect bunt toward Weaver and while he was be- ing retired at first Roush, reached third. Neale grounded to Risberg and on the play to first, Roush registered. Eddie Collins retired the side by throwing Rariden out at first.
 No one could have appeared less suspicious than "Hod' Eller when he came to the plate at the beginning of the sixth round debacle. AS a pitcher, nothing was expected of him, and among those in this frame of mind was Claude, alias Lefty" Will Hams. Even the organization of Red fanatics who brought a brass band up here, were not looking for what happened, and started out of their seats when Filler connected with one in the groove and it started off due north. Jackson, whose mind ap- peared to be puzzling over the jinx that had settled on his hairpins, was slow in starting for it, and Felsch who was sparkling on all six cylinders, was too far away. The net result was double which surprised none more than Eller. The ball was wearying of it's roll when Jackson and Felsch came up to it at the leftfield fence, Felsch seized it and threw, in the gen. eral direction of the diamond, dimly visible in the distance. Eller took a chance and landed safely on third. The Sox infield, scenting danger, drew in. Rath poled one to short left which would have been safe no matter where the infield played and Filler trotted home with the first run Rath was advanced to second by Daubert's perfect bunt toward third although Daubert was out at first Heinie Groh's patience was rewarded by a pass, at which stage of the proceedings Schalk and Williams ad- dressed a peppery collection of re-

BEST THEATER.

Ambassador Henry Morgenthau, who returned to America to write his remarkable story of the atroci-
 ties, which were perpetrated upon
 the Armenians by the Turks, and diplomat, who toured the country at the request of his government, vouch for the realism and actual facts shown in Auction of Souls" at the Best theater again today and tomorrow.
 The central character of the story is Aurora Mardiganian, who escap- ed to America by way of Russia af- ter having spent four years of her life witnessing the awful tragedies that befell the native people of Ar menia. In truth, the play is her life story. It opens showing the peace full people of Armenia in 1915. Be- cause she refuses to become an in- mate of Turkish harem and marry the Tu, kish governor of the province she is seized. Her parents are kill ed immediately following by an or der of the Turks that hundreds of of the Armenians shall be moved to the desert.
 She manages to escape from the harem along with an English girl, who had charge of a mission before being captured. She is again talk en prisoner and marched away to the desert with many old women and young girls. Each night many of the girls disappear, never to be seen again. The Armenian girl and the English girl escaped to the desert, and after wandering around for two years she manages to escape to America through Russia. 1t.

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, leading the Democratic fight for un- amended ratification, objected today to a move to set aside the treaty temporarily to consider another mat ter, and so insisted that the senate should begin work on the pact earlier than ? o'clock, the usual hour at which 1t has been called up.
 Members of both houses of con- gress are counting on recess about the first of next month, and as this depends upon final disposition of the treaty, the suggestion has been made by some senators, it wa ssaid, that the two parties endeavor at separ- ate conferences to figure on how much actual talking time will be re- quired by both sides. As it seems to be admitted by all that every sena- tor knows now how he will vote there is still growing disposition in some quarters not to prolong the proceedings by speeches, although Democratic and Republican leaders unite in declaring that attempts to shut off speeches will not be toler- ated. What they seek, it is said, is voluntary agreement, calculated to hasten vote.
 Denying that Great Britain and her colonies would have six votes in the League of Nations to one for the United States, McCumber charged, that senators advocating the amend ment by Senator Johnson, Republic an, California, proposing to limit the voting power of the British colonies were fannin gpopular prejudice with an unfounded appeal.
 Senators who in private conver- sation would never dream of at to decisive one another y said Senator McCumber, seem un- able to resist the temptation to take advantage of a prejudice ere ated by this deception, and, with
