CAMPAIGN TO WIPE OUT
THE GERMAN LANGUAGE

New York, Jan. "A nation
wide campaign is being conducted
by the American Defense Society to
eliminate the teaching OF German
in the schools throughout the Unit
ed States. In a letter written the
the principals OF public schools, pri-
vate schools and colleges throughout
the country the society urges that
French, Italian, Spanish and Rus
sian should be given prominence in
the curriculum with view to
strengthening trade relations be-
tween these countries. The letter
which is signed by DR.. William T..
Hornaday, treads:
reports are rife that with the
ending OF the war there is to be an
attempt to force upon our American
youth the language of the people
hose 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.
1t is the opinion Of many OF our
prominent educators that German Is
not an essential in any course OF
study, and 1t is to be hoped that
our American youth will not permit
It's being forced upon them for any
reason whatsoever. The next five
years will witness capitalization
of educational opinion and upon that
capitalization will depend the fu-
ture OF American education.
For those who would study a
language for its future utility the
choice lies between French. Spanish.
italian and Russian as our trade re-
lations with these countries will be
immeasurably Increased now that
peace is In sight. To study German
would be to condone the atrocities
perpetrated by the people who speak
this language"

U. S. navy. TO COVER
EAST AND WEST COAST

Washington, Jan. 2.-American
naval forces will be equally divided
into Atlantic and Pacific fleets by
next summer. Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels told the house naval affairs
committee today.
The secretary also said that, he
and Admiral Benson would visit the
Pacific coast soon to survey the sit
uation there. with view to putting
the new plan into operation.
The Pacific fleet at present is
practically stripped and its ships
and equipment added to the Atlantic
fleet. because OF war conditions.
Daniels pointed out that under
the new plan Of dividing the forces
into equal parts. the navy would be
kept at top notch by competition and
rivaly between the two forces.
The navy will keep one main air
station at San Diego and another at
Pensacola. the secretary said, adding
that no additional stations would be
built now. A training station for
the marine corps will also be kept at
San Diego and 1t is probable that
the naval training station at Goat
Island will be transferred to San
Diego or some other southern Cali
fornia port. Final decision on this
matter will be reserved until DAN
iels visited the coast, he said.

POISONOUS PLANTS
GRUBBED FROM FOREST

The tall larkspur growing on 20
acres OF grazing range on the siski-
you National forest, Oregon. was
grubbed out by the cattlemen OF the
region in cooperation with the for
est service. during the last grazing
season, according to a report re-
ceived by District Forester George
H. Cecil. This little patch OF pois-
onous larkspur is the first area to
be eliminated by this method in Ore
gon. II has been responsible for a
yearly loss OF cattle valued at $3.50.
The grubbing out operation cost
5000.
The value OF cattle los. on the
national forests OF the United States
from tall larkspur poisoning during
the past year was $125,050, repre-
senting $500 head OF cattle. Dur
ing the previous year losses were
reduced $15,S50 by the grubbing out
OF larkspur from $50 acres. The
average cost OF eradication Is about
one-half the value OF the average
annual loss. Since the loss is con-
tlnuous from year to year unless the
poisonous plants are eradicated. II
assumes an enormous value In few
years.
