"Write your Endorsement on her

convincing talk, which took him into

The Endorsement was written and
it proved every word the little girl,
waiting over there in that parsonage
in the same small Dutch village of
six years before, had said.
She met him in Rotterdam the
other day as he stepped from the
train, and it was arms from across
the sea on this occasion.

1t Is Loyal

A glance at the figures shows that
the foreign press is essentially 10y
al and conservative. Journals in
the Finnish, the Russian and the
Hungarian languages are the most
dangerous, and almost the only real
ly dangerous radicals. In the Fin
nish tongue is printed the oflc;ci -

estimated at 10000 and minus a

This is the influence which the
Association of Foreign-Languag

three months ago 500 publicists of
the foreign press rallied to its aid,
forming an association and anncunc-

the substantial causes for the
threatened exodus of foreigners
from America, according to officers
Of the association. Swayed by the
sentiments Of un-American publica-

to him through a continued resi-

for good. And this is one of the

In other words, Bolshevism has a
new opponent in the field, and stands
in danger to-day of having the chief
weapon of Bolshevism turned
against Bolshevism itself. The war
is being waged on a strictly bust

months the association has been in
business the results are already evil
dent.
"The first thing we decided to do"
said President Keller, was to sepa-
rate the advertising in these papers
from the news and editorials, and
thus prevent the interference of
local influences"
After a meeting of representa-
tive publishers of the foreign-lan-
yuage press from all parts of the
country an association was formed,
exclusive of the German press, that
is being supplied with American ad-
vertising, which is being placed
through the medium of the Ameri-
can association. That meeting was
held on March %, and to-day every
paper in the association shows re-
luctance in accepting the doubtful
mining stock and patent medicine
stuff upon which so many publica-
tons relied in the past. For al
most the first time many papers pos
sess large and paying displays of
american goods, and the result is
beginning to show already in an in
creased interest in Americanism
evident from coast to coast and as
far south as the Gulf of Mexico
For the first time the burden is
placed upon foreign-language papers
and organizations to clean up con-
ditions among their own people
through their own leaders working
with Americans.
