DR.. Gotthard Deutsch, of Gin
cinnati, who makes speciality of
omniscience in Jewish history,
says of men in his latest book,
"Jew and Gentile":: "To him in
ternational vocabulary is indebt-
ed for the invention of the term
'Yiddish.' 1t is the best name for
a dialect which in it's previous
form of Judeo-German is awk-
ward, and under the name of jar
gon, unjust Far be it from me
to contradict a savant who is
usually in the right. But if l in
vented the term it was inadver-
tently. Presumably, it was in
"Children of the Ghetto" pub
lished in 1892. At any rate, the
term was adopted by Alexander
Harkavy of New York, whose
Dictionary of the Yiddish Lam
guage" is dated 1898, and it may
be said to have been finally fixed
when, in 1899, Leo Weiner, in
structing in the Slavic languages
at Harvard University, published
his excellent "History of Yiddish
Literature in the Nineteenth Cen
tury"; though note that M.
Pines, Doctor of the University
of Paris, who has supplemented
Weiner's work by a still more
comprehensive study in French,
entities his monumental volume,
"Histoire de la Literature Judeo-
Allemande."
The actual word "Yiddish"
has, however, been adopted into
French by M. Pierre Mile in his
translation of "Children of the
Ghetto" On looking up the
STANDARD Dictionary of the Eng
lish language published by
Funk and Wagnall, of New York,
as early as 1908, I found, to my
surprise, the word "Yiddish" in
cluded, though it is inaccurately
explained as: "a corrupt form of
Hebrew, a polyglot jargon used
for the intercommunication by
Jews from different nations" Our
recent "Oxford Dictionary"
which also includes it, is not
much more accurate, for it defines
it as "a mixture of Hebrew and
other languages used by or to the
Jews"
To the study of this compara-
lively unknown tongue, whose
real basis is, of course-despite
its Hebrew lettering-mediaeval
German, with only 20 per cent of
Hebrew and l0per cent of Slavic,

Governor McKelvie
of Nebraska

am very favorably impressed with
the proposals of Secretary Hughes for
limitation of armament by the lead
ing nations. The carrying out of such
q program as this during the, next ten
years will at once lift a tremendous
tax burden from the shoulders of the
people and will be long step forward
in the encouragement of further re-
duetion in armament. This, together
with manifestation on the part of the
leading nations of the world to settle
International disputes through the or
derby processes of peace, is, l believe,
the assurance that the world is look
ing for to-day, and if it is accom-
plished will, in a measure, compensate
for the tremendous sacrifices that we're
made during the World War. The
United States of America undoubtedly
will be widely commended for having
taken such a courageous, positive and
forward step through its Secretary of
State

Van Dyke Assails Harvey
In Talk to MethOdists

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, Clergyman,
author and former Minister to Holland
asailed Colonel George Harvey, the
American Ambassador to Great Britain,
in an address yesterday morning be-
fore a gathering of 5000 Methodists at
Carnegie Hail.
DR.. Van Dyke referred to Colonel
Harvey as "our mis-representative at
the Court of st. James," criticizing him
for his speech soon after his arrival in
England, in which he said that the
United States was actuated by other
than unselfish motives in entering the
war. Woodrow Wilson, President Hard
ing and Secretary of State Hughes
were eulogized by the speaker, the
Secretary of State for his address at the
opening Of the conference on imita-
tion of armament.
Accounts of further threats on the
part of Turks to massacre Armenians
were referred to by DR.. Van Dyke in
declaring that "total disarmament is
not possible" He said that all that
can be hoped for is step in the right
direction.

MELBOURNE, Nov ID (By The As
sociated Press).-"The United States
is to be sincerely congratulated On it's
practical disarmament scheme," de-
clarcd Premier Hughes tonight. After
referring to possible difficulties aris-
ing from different circumstances in
the different countries, the Australian
Premier said:
"The whole civilized world must re-
joice in the prospect of lasting benefit
resulting from this conference"
WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Nov
Id (By. The Associated Press. Pre-
mier Massey to-day expressed salts
faction over the limitation of arma-
ment proceedings at Washington, and
said it should be remembered that
Great Britain took the lead in disarm-
ament by scrapping scores of her ships
and reducing the personnel of her
navy by about two thirds. The Pre-
mier reaffirmed his views that the
peace of the world, for heightened
period, could be obtained only through
friendly agreement among Great Bri-
tain, the United States and Japan.

Copyright 1921, New York Tribune inc.
PARlS, Nov. ID. - With the smoke
cleared away from the explosion of
the hughes bomb at the opening Of
the armament limitation conference
and time given for mature reflection
and sober analysis, the Tribune CORE
spondent is able, after conversations
with french government officials and
other influential persons, both in and
out of the government, to construct
the following summary of the reaction
here:
Paris and all France applaud in it's
whole the American initiative in naval
limitation, but before supporting it are
awaiting further developments to learn
how the problem of land disarmament
Will be treated and what international
guarantees of peace will be established
to reassure the nations whose offensive
and defensive forces might be dmin-
ished.
New Page in Diplomacy
Clear, decisive and courageous"
were the words echoed everywhere in
government circles to-day concerning
the Hughes plan. "Broaching a prac-
tical proposition with such clarity at
the beginning, such as was Mr..
Hughes's course, is looked upon here
as new page in the history of world
diplomacy. "Never has a conference
OF such magnitude been opened in such
businesslike, frank manner" said
government official who exerts a
dominating influence on Frances for
eign policy in the absence of Premier
BRAND. "If European questions had
been exposed in such a spirit since the
war perhaps the economic and repara-
tions problems would be in different
state to-day"
From the moral view point and as
an expression of American sincerity
the conference developments so far
have created an excellent opinion in
France. But after the first day, when
the businesslike abruptness of the
American theories created only express
sions of wonderment at the American
way of doing things, those of the seri-
Gus school Of thought here have adopted
an attitude of watchful waiting.
Army Program Awaited
France, they say here, is primarily
interested in two things, land disarma-
ment and general policies. The more
serious writers of the French press,
therefore, are displaying a tendency
to await the remainder of the Ameri-
can proposals, which they hope will
have the same directness and will in
volve not only disarmament, but a sys-
tenn of reciprocal guarantees which
they hold is inevitable. They say that
the intention of Secretary Hughes
could not have been to give America
a naval superiority over Japan without
precise guarantees. If such guaran-
ties are not given, they hold there
would be no longer an equilibrium. and
Japan would be forced either to refuse
the proposition or accept with a bad
will, which would be an invitation to
broken agreements in the future.
1t is thought, however, that Mr..
Hughes will frame further proposals
with the same clearness as marks his
naval limitation plan.
Admiral Degouy, in an article in
"Eclar," weighs the technical side of
New-York tribune., 1921-11-15

the proposal and asks whether Secre-
tary Hughes means putting out of

when one is disarmed. A sudden often
sive, 1T is true, becomes more difficult,
but one does not fight any the less.
Secretary Hughes must consider that.
II the units must actually be destroyed
it is different"
England Held Arbiter
Awaiting developments of the Sec
ond session tomorrow, it Is toward
London that attention must be di-
rected," comments the conservative
Temps" "The success of the Hughes
program depends upon England. :. first,
because England owns the greatest
fleet in the world; and, second, because
japan has no interest in opposing
naval limitation if England does not
oppose it."
England has its advantages and it's
disadvantages in cutting down it's feet
to the size of Americas" remarks "The
Temps" "but the greatest disadvant-
age will be her renunciation ofQhe ira
ditional title Of Mistress Of the Seas.
One advantage will, however, be the
certain guarantee of closer amity be-
tween the British Empire and the
United States. 1t is to the interests
of the French and it is the French de-
sire that America and England live in
good relationship. Thus, we will re-
joice in all sincerity if the British gov
ernment, on which depends the sue
cess or failure Of the Hughes program,
decides to assure its success"
"Liberte" points out that this is not
the first time a great naval power has
proposed a naval holiday. "Twelve
years ago England offered Germany a
proposition similar to that of Mr..
Hughes" it recalls. "The Kaiser re-
pulsed the offer and the King of
Wurttemberg seconded him, which was
one of the things that caused Great
Britain to begin to open it's ayes to
the bad intentions of Germany. Neither
England nor Japan can be guilty of
the blunder of refusing the American
disarmament program"
Commenting on the Italian tendency
to accept the Hughes proposal, "Le
Journal des Debats" says:
France has no reason for not ac-
cepting the suggestions, which do not
concern her directly, on condition that
she be allowed to repair her feet,

by Japan in conjunction with other

GUS and statesnanlike address he de-

conference. He has indicated the only
method by which perpetual peace may
be assured and relief afforded to a
world overborne with the burden of
military establishments. He has vo-

supported unanim ously by the people

have the highest appreciation of
the forward step in Secretary Hughes's
proposals for disarmament presented to
The conference Saturday. To my mind
these proposals present the minimum
that can be taken by the conference if
it is to accomplish real results. With
out doubt. Secretary Hughes's pro-
posals will be enthusiastically sup
ported by the almost unanimous public
opinion in America. My own judg-
ment is that America can even go much
further than the program outlined
by Secretary Hughes. Public opinion
throughout the world will follow the
lead of the United States in even more
radical proposals for disarmament than
those presented Saturday.

In my opinion the proposal of Sec
rotary Hughes is admirable and prac-
ticable. | earnestly hope it may be ac-
cepted. AS a first step the present
proposal is wholly satisfactory, but
insist that in the near future there
should be an agreement putting limi-
tation on the size of armies as we'll as
navies, and that the victors should i'm
pose upon themselves the same condi-
ton that they exacted of vanquished
Germany namely, the abolition of
compulsory military service, except in
