 My dear Heard:
 Allow me to thank you and The Re- publican for the editorial endorsing Elihu Root for Secretary of State. Be sides the publications that The Re publican mentions so felicitously, it occurs to me that MT. Root has never weighed his dhty in money scales. Dur ing the greater part of twenty-five years. when other eminent counsel. who perhaps hoped they were MT. RoSfSs peers, were running mighty races Tor solossal fees, Mir. Root chose to serve the Nation for the pittance we pay to cabinet ministers and senators.
 When called upon to clean up a gov ernment department in time of war, 10 preside over a national convention Of tutional convention in his own state or to make public stand that treaty obli- cations must be observed in making tolls for the Panama canal. his action has never halted for fear of hurting his own popularity The flawless tact he showed when joUrneying through the countries lying south of us in this hem isphere, continuing the work that Blaine began. obtained for this Nation the use of Magdeleua Bay That same tact is needed now in negotiations with Mexico-to send the Jap back to tho Eastern hemisphere

 Former President Raymond Poncare says Ger should be taught He gives as his reason the fact that France expects to occupy the left years Familiarity with the native tongue would under the circumstances, seem imperative.
 In the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine there now goodly number of people who are familiar only with their "step-mother' tongue and who must be taught French German speaking Frenchmen are necessary to this work which is regarded as par ticularly important in again re-establishing these long lost provinces a true French basis.
 The work to be done in the Saar valley the desire of establishing French industries in this German ter ritory and the necessity of keeping in touch with German scientific developments are further reasons for the former presidents urging wide study of German in France.
