Raps Some Enemies.

Saying he meant nc disrespect to the
league opponents, Mr.. Wilson stirred up
an outburst of cheering when he added
that he had no respect whatever for
some Of them.
The president asserted that "a very
few men" were proposing that the cove
nant be changed to give the United
States "a position of special privilege"
That, he asserted, was directly con-
trary to American principles because
the nation had entered the war largely
to fight for the principle of equality OF
nations.
Germany, said the president, was
taking heart at the possibility that the
United States might be induced to re-
fuse to guarantee the peace settlement.
To that end, he asserted, "a "pro-Ger-
man propaganda again was becoming
active in this country. Mr.. Wilson said
he sometimes wondered whether the
men who opposed the league have ever
talked, as he had, with women who had
lost sons in the war. He declared many
Of these had asked him to give all his
strength to an effort to keep other
women's sons from having to go to war.
The crowd cheered when he added that
he would fulfill that request.
Through Misrepresentation and every
fight my way to that goal"
The text of President wilson's ad-
dress in part is as follows:
AS / am along through the country

first to crowd around the train have
always been children-bright-eyed little
boys, excited little girls, children all

HORSE INJURED
 ON WAY IC TOWN

Robert Kelly, driving his four horse team on his way to town the night before last, from out the Ne line nearly lost one of his valuable animals through a peculiar accident.
 The team was coming along light when about four miles this side of Dunbar's roadhouse, Kelly was ob- liged to pull away from the trail to make way for the approaching automobile.
 One of the horses in the lead stepped on pretty good sized dry sapling, which broke with a loud snap. A little piece of it hit the wheeler, who gave leap forward and drove square into the broken sapling.
 A piece of the sapling, 26 inches long and about two inches in diameter, entered the animal below his shoulder and penetrated clear up to the hide of the shoulder. It took a strong pull and stout pair of pliers to relieve the animal of the silver. This piece of wood is now on view at the Portland.
 The horse came into town as usual, but with a slight limp. He does not seem to be much the worse for the experience and it is believed that he will be able to work again soon. The owner had him out exercising yesterday. i

AMERICANIZING MILWAUKEE

The teaching of the German Ian guage in Milwaukee grade schools may disappear entirely when the new semester begins. In only one school in the city now is German being taught and, under the resolu- tion of the school board abolishing foreign language instruction, it would be discontinued at the end of the term in June
 In 1916, 200 teachers were em- ployed to give instruction in the German language to 30,000 pupils and at the end of 1918, only one teacher was employed to instruct 400 pupils in the German language.
 One of the final instances in connection with the elimination of German instruction came with the recent announcement that Leo Stern, assistant superintendent of schools in charge of the foreign language department, had resigned. The school board last August voted to abolish the foreign language de- partment, at the end of the present year. MT. Stern's term expires June 3O Mr. Stern in his letter to the school board said that after service of 35 years in the Mil waukee schools, he felt that he was "entitled to a rest"
 Stern was president of the Wis. consin branch of the German American alliance from the time of it's organization in 1906 until it was disbanded in 1917. He was also at one time vice-president of the national organization.

BACK TO AFFLUENCE

Some the West Texas farmers who deserted their homes last sum- mer in pitiful white lines of old prairie wagons are now going back in automobiles. Driven out by a three years drought, they are go- ing back as oil men.
 Stretches of land where the drought had virtually withered every leaf of vegetation and from which the disheartened farmers departed for the cotton fields and other more prosperous sections, are within the new Texas oil district.
 Some of the farmers who strag- gled, almost penniless. from the "parched zone" few months ago can qualify as oil magnates, ac- cording to Vance Muse of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, who has just completed tour of Ranger, Eastland, Cisco, Breckenridge, De- Leon, Moran, German and other towns in the heart of the new oil district. He says the population in many counties, almost completely deserted last summer, has reached unprecedented figures.
 Leases are being sold for few acres at vastly larger sums than entire farms would have brought a year ago and enormuos investments have been made.
 The legislature had expected to adopt measures for relief of drought sufferers, but since the discovery of oil little interest has been shown in tn proposed action. There have been abundant fall rains that as- sured crops in districts outside the oil territory.

In some shops in Coblenz where prices have advanced since the Americans ar rived, the merchants contend that this has been necessary because of an increase of from twenty to forty per cent in the price of certain articles from the factory And to bear out the statements the mer- chants show letters from factory arrangements in Berlin and other manufacturing points.
 Coblenz has had as much diff cutly in procuring food supplies as any part of the American area, and yet outside of serious shortage in some essentials such as fats, the general feeling in the city is one of hopefulness in regard to the food situation. This hopefulness extends only to this area, and not to the districts of interior Germany which, according to reports, are worse off. |
