JUNGLE GIRLS OF U. s.
 SHOCK MISSIONARIES

CHICAGO, June 5.-Amerfcan girls of tender years are going back to jungle standards so fast that missionaries returning from Africa arc mortified to see the change, Paul Rader, president of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Conference, declared in an address ! at the conference meeting here, and is being at tended by foreign missionaries from all parts of the world.
 Missionaries returning to this country are aghast to find the change that has come about in girls from F to b years old, Dr. Rader said, adding:
 "They arc approaching the jungle standard. Little black girls under the tropical suns ma ture early and little American girls are maturing too quickly under the hectis influence of jazz"
 The next generation will see old women in their twenties, he declared.

 The most impressionable age of children Is while they are in the tower grades at school, the state briefs asserted, claiming that under the guise of preparing them for the study of the Bible and religious wor. ship with their parents their instruc tors can deeply impress upon their mind and heart the greatness of the fatherland and the divine right of kaisers."
 1t was contended by the states that none of those who brought the ap 2cals to the Supreme Court had been prevented from pursuing their call. ing as teachers, and 1t was argued therefore that they had not been de- prived of any constitutional rights or privileges.

Cavanaugh, Chief Counsel for the opponents to the Arpon law adopted at tho instance of the Ku Klux Klan at the last state election to compel all children to attend public schools and barring parochial schools, de clared the decision of the Supreme Court voiding the acts of foreign language teachings, showed the court would declare Q compulsory school law unconstitutional.

 Contentious Made
 "* the Capacity to impart in- structions to others is given by the Almighty for beneflccnt purposes; 1; and its use may not be forbidden or interferred with by government certainly not. unless such instruction is, in it's nature, harmful to the pub lie morals or imperils the public safe ty.

tial right of propcrty-especialiy where the services are rendered for compensation. But even if such right be not strictly property right, it is, beyond question, part of ones liberty as guaranteed against hostile state action by the Constitution of the United States"
 Another Attack
 The law was also attacked on the ground that it prohibited or made difficult family worship in com mon language and at common altar Insofar as the knowledge of the lan- guage used in worship is essential to common worship, anything that prevents the acquisition of the Ian guage when it is intended to use it in worship, it was contended, inter- fered with the religious nights of the individual. If the parents of the chil- dren were able to impart religious instructions to them in English and to worship with them in that Ian. guage, it was argued, there would be no necessity of the children learn ing the German language for relig ious purposes. But when they are unablc to do so, any law which de nics to the child sn education in a foreign Language which would enable it to worship with it's parents, must, the opponents of tho law claimed, be held unconstitutional.
 States Assertions
 Asserting that the safety of the state depended upon the proper edu- cation of it's citizens. counsel for the states declared, that the very SOW ereignty Of the state was directly af- fected by the attacks upon the law which it was sought to set aside.
 conditions warranted the conclu- sion that children were being edu- cated away from the path of loy- alty," the Attorney General Of Iowa stated, insisting that Fit was the un- doubted right of the legislature to prohibit the teaching of those things which tended to alienate the affec- tions of the children and fix them upon some foreign power or upon in. stitutions which have no place in q democracy"
 Briefs Are Filed
 The three states filed briefs in which considerable space was de- voted to description of conditions alleged to have existed during the time this country was preparing to participate in the World War and during the years 1914 and 1915 and described the difficulty met by the states in suppressing disloyalty. This was stated to have been largely due to the use in certain communities of a foreign language as common means of communication among those suspected of efforts aimed to humiliate if not actually to destroy this government. Referring to these people" one of the briefs asserted that many of them had rencunced their allegiance to the fatherland and had sworn to support the government of the United States" nevertheless they were 3'openly sympathetic" with Germany, circulating propaganda that was moro deadly than German bullets"

 The statutes at issue do not ma terially differ in scope.

A FRENCH MISTAKE

1t is said that the last words of Bonar Law, the
British premier, to Poncare, the French PREMIER when
they parted in Paris,
Monsieur hope with all my heart that you are
right; but sincerely doubt it,
Those words probably express the feeling of most
Americans and find an echo in many lands. Nearly all
the world sympathzes with France in that countrys
efforts to obtain moderate reparaton from Germany
for the damage inflicted in unprovoked But
nearly all the world fears that France seizng the rich
industrial section Of Germany to enforce payment
will fail to get what she wants, because she will antag
onize the Germans and reard productions when what is
needed is accelerated production and mutual under
standing Thus the economic revival of Europe may be
postponed, international confusion increased and per-
haps the stage set for another
1t is to be remembered always that the real Grim
inal is Germany not France that Germany is RESPONSE
BILE only for the but for most of the difficulties
she is facing and that her persistent lodging of
her obligations is maddening. But it does not
sarily help matters that France is mistaken rather
than wicked. A mistake may have tragic results
