PROGRESS OF ESPERANTO
As A WORLD LANGUAGE

In connection with the class IN
Esperanto, the international Ian
guage. which is being organized to
meet in the public library in this
city. an interesting circular has been
received here setting forth the at
fractions OF the international Exhi-
bition that is to be held at Frank
furt on the Main. Germany. this
spring. This circular Is a striking
illustration of the use being made OF
Esperanto in European countries for
propaganda purposes. Realizing the
widespread use of Esperanto in all
countries of the world a circular
printed in that universal language
can be sent anywhere on the globe
and be assured of readers. This
cannot be said of a circular in any
other language.
More and more big business
houses engaged in foreign trade are
realizing the value of Esperanto as
the international language and they
are using IL to secure trade. II IS
significant that several u the eoun-
tries represented at the recent meet
ing of the league of Nations advo-
Gated the adoption of Esperanto as
the official language of the league.
Then, they argued. all nations would
be on an equal footing as far as
language was concerned.
In order TO spread the use of the
language a competent teacher has
been secured to instruct a class in
this city. The class is open to all
and there is no charge for the in
struction. Persons interested are in
vited to send their name to the
EVENING NEWS Office and it will
be turned over TO the proper parties.
An exhibit OF literature connected
with Esperanto is being arranged to
be held at the library in the ear
future. 1t will show to what extent
Esperanto is being used as a world
language.

FORDS PEOPLE
MAKE PROTEST
Are Against Locating Wood
bridge Poor House in Heart
of That Community.
sy Special Correspondent.

sy Special Correspondent.
FORDS. Jan. 20-The question OF
locating the house for the poor in
this place has been freely discussed
by many people here. ID is general
ly understood what conditions exist
on the present poor farm. but from
opinions of persons here 1t Is objec-
tionable to have the new poorhouse
located in the heart of this section.
Committeeman William ID. Hoy
has tried on several occasions to get
some action for the bctterment OF
the poor of the township. but up to
this time there has been nothing
done in the matter. The investiga-
tion a few daysfago will aid in en-
tightening the people of the deplor-
able conditions on the present poor
farm, hut 1t is thought here that
other methods can be used to re-
lieve the situation besides locating
the poorhouse on n of the main
streets In this place.
\ The interviews with several tax
payers here brought out several
opinions as to the objections they
had of purchasing the proposed site
on King Georges road. The chief
objection is that the house is too
close to the school building on the
same street. Many persons said
that the cost Is too high and that ii
can be purchased at a lower figure.
Other people maintained that re-
gardless of cost and upkeep, they
did not see why the poorhouse
should be located in this section only
a block from the main street in the
town.
All persons are mindful that
something must be done to better
the living quarters of the poor and
were of the opinion that present
conditions should not have been al
lowed to become in such a state. II
is thought that other plans will be
made to take care of the poor, as
purchasing the house here would
cost over $4,000, no including the
upkeep of the large building.
The proposed site is a large stucco
building, fifteen rooms. on a lot on
King Georges road. and is located
dilcctly across the street from the
school. 1t is also situated in the
heart of the best residential section
of this place.

Senate IrreconciIables Will Try To

Washington-The question of with |
drawal of the American troops from
the occupation Of German territory on
the Rhine bids fair to become an i'm
portant issue, now that peace with
Germany has been restored, unless
President Harding should act immed-
lately to bring the forces home.
Some administration officials are
of the opinion that the presidents
next step after issuing the peace
proclamation will be an order with
drawing the American troops from
Europe. There are, however. some
extremely influential members of the
cabinet who will counsel the presi-
dent to leave the Army of Occupation
on the Rhine pending the conclusion
Of negotiations between America and
| Germany and America and the allies
on questions arising from the war.
If the president does not signify his
| intention of withdrawing the troops
soon, a resolution will be introduced
in the Senate, probably by Senator
l
secretary of war to order the forces
home
This is the move determined upon
by the Senate irreconcilablles.
They hold that Congress may con-
stitutionally instruct the secretary OF
war, though not the president, and
they have considered the contingency
of the president directing the secre-
tary of war to ignore the instructions
! Of Congress, thus precipitating a
clash between the executive and legis
lative branches of the government. II
is more likely, however. that if the
president desires to retain the troops
in Europe the administration leaders
would block passage of Withdrawal
resolution by Congress.
Under the terms of the peace reso
. luton all rights required by the
: United States under the armistice ant
< the Versailles treaty are reserved ant
a one of these rights is the occupation
i of German territory by American
o troops on the Rhine and the onl.
e question is how long it is to the In
l. terest of the United States to keel
Z them there.
l. The president has declared tn
n United States interested in the Gel
II man indemnity settlement and it
t. pending the paymnt of the reparation
d and fulfillment of other treaty term
that allied troops are to, remain o
r, the Rhine for 15 years. Coblen'
