RACINE, Wis, February 5.-Be-

fectively combating socialism. boil

other revolutionary groups is by
meeting them on their own
grounds with soap box versus

out an alumnae Of propagandists
who will be able to counter every
move Of socialist agitation by their

The university is the outgrowth
Of the experience of a group Of ex-
service men who formed the Con-
stitutional Defense League more
than a year ago in order to vigor-
ously fight socialism in Wisconsin.
They say they realized at the be-
ginning that much Of the propa-
ganda that has been Yaged in the
past against socialism has been
wasted. For one thing, 1t hasn't
reached the audience tnat the So
dalista talk to; it hasn't been
founded upon a knowledge Of the

MILLIONS SPENT IN PROVIDING
EDUCATION FOR ABSENT PUPIL
In Washington $4,000 Is Paid Out
Annually to Those Who Fail to
Attend School.

Omcials Of the bureau Of education
have delved into figures and ascer-
tanned that it costs tho United States
nearly $194.o00.0oo annually to make
provision for the 100000 children
who are daily absent from the public
schools. They also calculated that the
everage school term in this country

and that the ordinary child completes
six grades Of school work during a
lifetime. Continuing their figuring.
they discovered many other interest
ing facts. proving conclusively that
America Is nation of sixth graders.
While studying the cost of provid-
ing education for children who are
absent from school these educators
expended every year for this purpose.
Statistics indicated that 1863 school
days a year are provided for chill
dreo Of the nations capital. and that
the days actually attended are 1874.
Consequently the days not attended
reach 3s.6. making 22.3 per cent Of
the school term utterly wasted, with

the treaty. Franco. It Is believed,
would not dare to take military steps
independently, thereby estranging
herself from announced policies OF
the foreign Offices of London and
Rome. Furthermore, France realizes
that the United States never would
approve Of such measure. and France
today keeps her ear close to the
ground listening for echoes from
Washington. There are many rea-
sons, and these need be not reiterat-
ed, save one, and that-France de-
sires full appreciation Of both Amer
lean government and public. because
Of financial arrangements already
made and pending.
Not only would the strongest pres
sure be brought to bear by the peo-
pie against any concerted military
adventure within respective allied
countries, but it is extremely doubt
full If Lloyd George and BRAND could
agree. In case the governments dis
agreed, the one hope Of Germany
would be realized, for with divided
allied bloc. Germany could resist In
definitely the application of even the
minor peace terms.
Dangers to Future.
It is becoming increasingly appar-
ent that should the allies impose the
Paris agreement to the strict letter.
they will endanger future relation
ships Of all nations. The policy domi-
mating the Paris peace conference was
to erase from all consideration possi-
bilities of future wars. president
Wilson argued stoutly and long for
adjustments which would not in any
sense create seeds Of dissension and
hatred inspiring conflict among ~
ture generations. Lloyd George then
protested the same policy. which since
seemingly has been forsaken by him.
But it is realized in Paris that the
insistence Of the major reparations
sum might do what the Germans have
pointed out-cause every German OF
every political belief to prepare
through the years for revenge against
the countries most involved In the
infection of economic burdens.
The whole is a question which can
not be considered with the slightest
craftsmanship under any consideration.
The allies must be repaid in measure
for the damage Germany did. Neither
can they expect to collect more than
Germany normally can pay. The
French insist 226,oo0,o0 marks
will be an easy way for Germany to
escape. Yet British experts. since the
agreement was effected point out that
the annual installments will approach
within 100000. 900 marks, paper. the
total revenues Of the present German
government, which. they state, is
wholly impracticable. The spirit of
rejoicing prevailing early in the week
in Paris and all France is beginning
to fade. it is declared, because even
France begins to see that possibly the
agreement is not as iron-clad as the
premiers would have made the people
believe. Already London officially
has limited that during the parleys

In measuring the loss in money in
providing education for children who
are absent from school, the educators
have taken into consideration these
facts: The teacher has to be provided.
the school building has been heated.
the necessary supplies have been pur-
chased and the education feast has
been spread Yet one-fourth of those
who are expected to be present are
absent
Officials Of the bureau OF education
point out that though the wasted por-
ton Of the school term is appallingly
great at present, it is not SO great as
1t was thirty. forty or fifty years
ago. In 1870. it is estimated, the
average child enrolled in school vast

From q study Of the distribution OF
pupils by grades in 1918, the educators
found that there were about twice as
many pupils in the first grade as
actually entered school for the first
time. In other words. they learned
that about 100000 children are re-

ing with her in view. The same
scheme frequently is used by other
countries.
There IL some ground for believing
that Premiers Lloyd George and
BRAND. In shaping their most recent
decisions in Paris. did no more than
send up q fare with the hope Of de-
termining sentiment in the United
States in regard to the proposed
terms. II not Germany as well.
The vast indemnity agreed upon in
Paris is thoroughly satisfactory to
the French, inasmuch as they obtained
a measure Of guarantee in the 12h
per cent German export tax. England
has not accepted the decision SO
whole-heartedly. Germany is bitterly
arraigning the decision. through
which 1t is declared tho whole nation
will be placed in state of abject
bondage for nearly half a century
Opinion in the United States, which
was not represented in the Paris par
ley, has turned against the agreement
on the ground that proposed export
taxes will react against the United
States. Great German
trade will place the United States in
position of paying a large portion Of
Germany's war obligations to France,
likewise hindering a normal flow Of
international commercial exchange.
T.
The reparations agreement has
aroused Germany to a point where
she has not reached since the dec
laration of war, in 1914. Everywhere
the sentiment prevails that Germany
cannot pay such a sum as has been
proposed and, furthermore, there is
open defiance in the declaration that
the nation will not pay. Foreign
Minister Simons announces that II

T NSURGENCY'S threatening shadow is pro-
jecting in the House to meet the Congress
which Is to be called in extraordinary ses-
sion by President Harding. early in April.
1t is a baleful prospect to the elder statesmen.
who recall the doleful experience Of insurgent
movements in the past and the wreckage &C.
casioned thereby in the republican party. Need
less to say, the outlook is viewed with delight
by the democrats who will lose no opportunity
to facilitate it's fulfllment
The trouble is over the experiment now in
application of depriving of power committees
which hitherto had jurisdiction of appropria-
tions and vestfng 1t in one expanded appropria-
tons committee. If majority of opinion could be
collated. it would be. 1t is thought. that the ex-
pertinent has already proven a failure and that
the approprating power must be distributed
among the committees of yore. But the So
called leaders" Of the majority party
averse to going back to the old custom and will
fight the proposed change Therein rests the
germ Of possible insurgency, which, germi-
mated, may produce many kinds of bitter politi-
cal fruit.
There is possibility that as the situation
in the House grows more acute and the resent
ment of members against the present plan of
appropriating is further manifested in points
of order delaying the great supply bills to COM
pletion, all the appropriation bills may be al
lowed to go over until the extra session. This
could be done without injury to the public serv-
ice, since the moneys authorized by them do
not become available until the beginning Of the
new fiscal year. July / next.
The practical effect of postponing the ap-
preparation bills. however would be to raise
the issue Of changed procedure at the outset
of the extraordinary session, which will be
called to consider tariff legislation. changes in
the tax laws, and other constructive work.
President-elect Harding upon the occasion Of
his last visit to Washington requested the lead
in the House and Senate to clear the decks
of all legislation rightly pertaining to this
sion, and leave the way clear for the new
Congress to go on with the great work ahead.
Instead the opening weeks may be devoted to
wrangling over the allocating of the appropria-
TONS and considering the bills themselves. let
ting the tariff and tax questions follow.
Tho ground will DO ripe for insurgent
movement in the next session, it Is said by
congressman. There will be an unusual amount
Of new blood in the House Of the Sixty-seventh
Congress-, to assemble in April Practically all
Of the old members will be there. intrenched1 In
