ROOT OR HARDING-WHICH?

HOSE PEOPLE who have been looking eagerly forward
 to the speech of Eihu Root expecting he would fur nsh some unanswerabe objection the idea League dons must have been disappointed the least his statement In Carnegie Hall last night Instead advising oestrucon of the League root and branch this
 Tt IS plain therefore, that the issue is between
 League of Nations and League of Nations The
 question Is whether the agreement creating the League
 shall be accepted absolutely unchanged o shall
 modified to meet American objections
 Mr. Root has been called the dominant Republican party He has just returned from Europe mas been engaged drawing the articles world to operate part of the League and the that he say against it that should it with reservations This precisely what Cox and the Democrats willing pledged to do provided the reservations really reservations and do not impair the value of the League itself
 In striking contrast to Mr. Roots statement last night that of Senator Harding said emphaticaly:
 . "I do not wish to carify these obligations.
 wish to turn my back on them. It is not interpreta- tiOn but rejection that | seeking.' Which man represents the Republican party? Which Is trying to deceive the public? Which 'canism?

STREAMS NOW
 TAUGHT ENGLISH

Belgrade, Serbia, Oct. 20.-English is being introduced throughout the schools of Serbia It is now made a compulsory subject in the normal schools. The first courses in English, which were inaugurated in Belgrade year ago under an American teach CT, Dr. James Wild, of Chicago, have yielded such excellent results that the government has decided to make the language a part of the circular of all schools.
 Heretofore the dominating lan- guage of the Serbians, apart from their native tongue, has been German. The Germans were quick to see the advantages of introducing their Ian guage as means of acquainting the school children with the ways and customs of the German people. The pupils were given little chance of ac- quiring the things that go to make up the life and culture of Anglo Saxon civilizato
 A very large proportion of Serbia S school teachers were killed in war, occupation. Scores of school build ings were destroyed, and most of the school books printed in the Serbian cated ana burned by the Bulgars. Even Bibles were carried off, the ob- ject of the Bulgarians being to dis place all books in the Serbian lan- guage with publications in their own tongue.
 Notwithstanding these disasters, out of 2100 schools in Serbia, nearly 2,OOO have reopened. So great is the thirst for education in Serbia that 1t is a common thing for children in the country districts to leave their homes before daybreak and walk for several hours to reach school, not returning home until late in the evening. The school buildings, owing to the ravages of war often are without window panes, heating, desks, books and even writing material
 So great is the shortage of teachers and the influx of pupils that the for mer have to work from dawn until night taking their classes in 're- laYS.''

 AS PUNISHMENT

South Norwa1k, Conn.,, Oct. 20 Mrs. Ada Wilson, colored, and her husband, James Wilson, are under ar- rest here charged with cruelty to nine-year-old Mazie Nichols, colored, who was placed with the Wilson fam fly last March by the Fairfield County Home for Children, located in this city. Mrs. Wilson. it is said by the police, held the girls hands in the flame of kitehen stove until the child's hands were a mass of ~blisters. A school nurse noticed the condition of the child'S hands and an inveStiga- tion resulted in the swearing out of a warrant against the Wilson woman, for cruelty. She becoming alarmed by the investigation left town, and was not located until this morning. She admitted having held the child's S hand in the fire ''to make her stop stealing.''
 Between the time Mrs. Wilson left Norwalk and her arrest this morning the young one was taken away from Norwalk, and it was admitted to the police this morning, out of the state, where, Mrs. Wilson refused to say. Her husband, accused of being party to the cruelty. is also held charged with having taken the child from the state. The county commissioners are to press the charges against the cou- pie. This is the first case of such cruelty that has come to the atten- tion of the commissioners since the practice of placing children started at the home.

 Any moral obligation here on the part of the United States? much does it fall short of protecting against aggression the territorial and political integrity and independence of Cuba?
