AmericaniZatiOn


The Department of Education at
Washington is pressing it's work thru
out the country to Americanize the
foreign born. The effort is persist
ent to break up those communities that
conduct their affairs in foreign
tongues. The wal put 483 German
newspapers out of business and these
papers reached three million subscrib-
ers a day. Germany was the worst
offender in peace times is perpetu-
ating the customs of the parent ma
ton. But in our antipathy and dis
trust of Germany we should not over
look the fact that ten million papers
in foreign languages are circulated in
America every week. There were ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 people in this
country in 1916 who were either born
abroad or under foreign home condi-
tions and neighborhood environment.
In all there are thirty-eight different
language groups in the United States.
The war has brought the acid test to
millions of these people, and most of
them. have proven loyal. But the
troubles with the disloyal one make
it very plain that the bonds should be
drawn very tight, and characterization
must become an accomplished fact
rather than an ideal.

He WARNS G. 0. P,
Republicans Headed by Taft
Appeal Against Firm Stand.
Admitted That League VIII Be
Part of Treaty.

Washington. March 11.-Republi-
can supporters of the league of ma
tions headed by ex-President William
H. Taft, are warning G. o. P. op-
moments of the Wilson covenant
against too rigid stand. lest they en-
danger the party.
1t is now generally admitted that
when the peace treaty comes back
from France. the league of nations
will be a part and parcel of it. The
whole work of drafting the treaty in
Paris has been built on the promise of
a league of nations and practically
every article in some way is applica-
BILE under league rules.
Hence, if the treaty when complet-
ed failed of ratification in a Republic
can senate because the league of ma
tionS was a part of it, the whole work
of drafting the treaty would have to
time the treaty would remain ineffec-
tive and a state of war would continue
as now.
VIII Be Held Responsible.
The party responsible for holding up
ra atification of the treaty would un-
doubtedly be charged thereafter by the
opposing party with having prolonged
the war.
1t may he that President Wilson had
this situation in mind when he stated
in New York that the league should
not be party issue and that mo par
ty in the end would dare to oppose it"
AT any rate Taft, seeing the danger
N a too inelastic stand by G.. o. P.
opponents of the league, has warned
them against making the issue a party
one.
Taft's move and the difference of
opinion existing in both parties have
created the belief here that there is
possibility in 1910, if the peace treaty
is not ratified, of the electoral splitting
up into a new alignment-those for
and those opposed to ratification of
the league. The fight would then be
with the issue of moderate information
alism as opposed to a strict national
ism.
In this connection. there are now
strong organizations backing both the
elements favoring and opposing the
league, each organization determined
| to carry the fight to the finish.
Owing to the fact, however. that the
leading Republicans opposing the Will
son covenant favor some league, the
hope is expressed by friends in both
| the Republican and Democratic
parties that the president will recon-
| mend Qualification of questioned arti-
! cles so as to remove much of the op-
| position and assure the leagues rati-
fication.

Washington. March 11.-Drastic
laws to curb activities of anarchists,
I. w. w, Social-revolutionists and
BolShevilxi in the United States are to
be recommended to congress by the
senate committee which has been in
vestigating Bolshevik activities, mem
bers said today.
Hearings are almost at an end. In
spite of this, practically the only evil
dence the committee will have of Boil
sheviki ropaganda in the United
States is yet to go into the record.
This is now being submitted in the
form of newspaper clippings, pamph-
let's, books and papers sent thru the
mails.
The committee has so far failed to
find evidence of an organized propa-
ganda system paid for by foreign
money, or directly connected with the
Russian Bolsheviki.

Military PrOvisO Has Been
Made for Peace.
May Be Ready by March 90 for
Presentation Then.
REDUCE HUN MILITARILY Y
From Greatest War Maker to
the Lowest Plane.
Smaller Than Smallest Neigh
Dor to Be His Status.

Paris, March 11-With the military
terms adopted and rapid progress be-
ing made toward completion of the
other provisions, it was learned today
that the preliminary peace treaty may
be ready to present to the Germans
by March 20.
From the greatest war maker in the
world, Germany will be reduced to a
military status lower that that of her
smallest neighbor. She will be inn
potent even before Switzerland.
The conscription system will be
knocked out by 12-year enlistment
requirement for the army which, it is
understood, will be reduced to 900
men. What army she has, conse-
quently, will be purely professional.
The danger of Germany having four
or five million trained men within the
next ten years, which would have been
abolished. All guns, munitions and
equipment in excess of the amount
necessary for her reduced army will
be surrendered. 1t is understood also
that the notorious general staff will
be wiped out.
Allies Will Be Firm.
If any attempt is made to carry out
the threat to refuse acceptance of the
peace treaty and throw the country
into chaos if the terms are too harsh,
Germany will find the allies represent
ing a firm front.
The choice in such a case probably
lies between occupation of Germany
and continuation of the blockade, let
ting the enemy starve until they are
ready to sign Considering the COM
parative contentment in the present
occupied portions of Germany, the

ARE With FRIENDS
Prohibition and Suffrage Legis-
latiOn Is Looking Better.
Women Undoubtedly Will Be
Given the Vote.

Washington, March 1.-THE prohi-
bition and woman suffrage legislation
will be in the hands of its friends in
the next house of representatives.
This was insured today by the an
nouncement from Republican Leader
Mann that no anti-suffragist would be
made chairman of the house woman
suffrage committee.
Representative Volstead of Mime
sofa, a known dry, has already been
chosen chairman of the house judiciary
committee which will handle the leg
is1ation to force constitutional prohi-
bition.
mittee will not be chosen until late
today or tomorrow but since Mann's
wishes as to committee choices have
prevailed so far, there is little doubt
that he will be able to select suf-
fragist as chairman.

made further progress during Satur-
day and Sunday in demolishing Spar
tacan Strongholds in the northern and
eastern section of the city. according
to a German wireless received here.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses,
the troops used artillery and mine
throwers, being thus able to force the
insurgents back without exposing
themselves. Nevertheless. the Spar
tacans have not given up and are at
tempting to transfer their field of re-

Plant Will Be Relieved of Press
ent Crowded Condition.

By virtue of the good will OF the
members of the state legislature and
thru the pen of Governor Allen. a
$4,000 addition will be built at once
to the state printing plant in Topeka.
The appropriation measure which
made possible the construction of the
new addition was made a law after its
publication in the State Journal, the
official state paper. last evening.
According to an outline of the plans
for the new building given out by Imrf
Zumwalt, state printer. this afternoon.
the addition will be of brick, three
stories in height to conform to the
present building, and will cover a plot
of ground 25 feet by $50 feet. The
25foot front will be on Jackson street
just to the rear of the present build
ing.
According to the present tentative
plans. the first floor of the addition
will provide office space and storage
room for the state text book commits
sion. The commission is at present oc-
cupying offices in the rear of the
present plant. The second floor of the
addition will be used by the text book
commission for storage of text books
and supplies. The third floor will be
used to give additional space to tho
bindery department of the plant which
now occupies the entire third floor OF
the present building.
Relieve Crowded Conditions.
The construction of the new addi-
ton will relieve much of the conges-
ton of supplies which under present
conditions serve but to clog the eff
cient running of the various machines.
Certain space. and considerable of it.
in the bindery department must of
necessity be given over to storage of
folded sheets ready for the binders
Even the press room in parts is clut-
tered with stored supplies. The new
extension is expected to relieve all of
this and also to furnish enough addi-
tional room that the state will not be
paying rent on store rooms in other
parts of the city.

begin within short time according to

French governments have agreed to
construct a tunnel under the English
channel and that plans also are being
considered for building tunnels un-

IN A RAIL MEETING
Hines and Aides Try to Iron
Out Difficulties.
Congressional Failure Causes
Session to Talk Shop.

Washington, March 11.-Director
General Hines Of the railroad admin
tstration today is working with rail-
road officials to the end of adjusting
the financial troubles of the roads, re-
sulting from the failure of congress
to pass 1$750,000,000 appropriation.
Twenty-Five men, majority of
them railroad officials and including
corporation and the financial advisory
board of the railroads. went into con-
ference with Hines at 10 o'clock this
morning. The meeting was behind
closed doors
Hines and members of his staff
were prepared to lay before the rail
executives every item of the railroads
financial status. Practically every
road of consequence is represented
here either by an official or by proxy.
Views of the executives apparently
are widely separated as are those of
government officials.
Call In the Bankers.
1t was originally planned to call into
the conference many well known
bankers. But it was decided that the
rail executives should first be given
an opportunity to offer their sugges-
tions. Representatives of the financial
interests will be invited to Washington
later. when, it is expected, the rail-
road administration will have some
tangible plan to propose in the way OF
providing for its fiscal needs. Hines
announced today he had telegraphed
all car and equipment companies to
send representatives for a conference
hold contracts and unpaid bills for
equipment and cars, totalling close to
00,000.000. Unless these can be
met, rail executives say, all CONNER
cial interests will be seriously affected
These companies, it was pointed out,
have a far a iS nnSSihIa IN p
ing government demands during the
war and their credit is about exhausted d
as a result.

BANK BILL TONIGHT
State Reserve Measure Before Senate
at O'clock

The state reserve bank bill. provid-
ing for :. bank of Kansas and other
financial reforms, and which proba-
bly, has created more comment than
any other measure before the 1egisla- =
ture save, probably. the late lamented
constitutional convention plan. will be
taken up for consideration by the SEN
ate tonight under special order.
The measure will come up at 8
O'Clock. according to the calendar.
Since its Introduction bankers by the
score have declared both for and
against it, and it has probably caused
a wider difference in opinion in Kan
sas financial circles than any scheme
advocated in years.
