ENGLISH GROWS AS
WORLD LANGUAGE

If the world is not to speak one
Language, the indications are that it
shortly will be able to communicate
ideas by means Of a common speech
in addition to that used by each
branch of the human family. Accord
ing to report by the Near East
Reliev, "the growth of the use of
English in the Nearestern countries
since the war has been such as to
lead to the belief that it will soon be-
come the tongue in universal use for
trade and diplomacy"
In the Near East and the Balkans,
where French was formerly the COM
mon medium of communication be-
tween peoples of a score of Language
es, nearly complete change to Eng
iish has taken place, it is stated. In
st1uction in English is in demand
everywhere An influence that has
assisted in the change has been the
return to their native land, during
the war, of hundreds of thousands Of
young men who have lived in Ameri-
ca. They have given decided Amer
can accent to the English spoken in
Southeastern Europe and Western
Asia.
Not the least among the causes
which have tended to make the
American variety of English popular
has been the heroic work of the Near
East Relief and kindred agencies, in
caring for millions of refugees and
orphans Scattered through Asia
Minor, Greece and the Caucasus are
hundreds of thousands of Armenian,
Syrian and Greek children who have
learned at least smattering of Eng
lish from their American benefactors.
But the constant factor that UNDER
mines all rivals to English as a uni
versal speech is the complete domi-
nance which it enjoys as trade
language,

TYPEWRITER'S INVENTION
CLAIMED FOR AUSTRIAN
Mitterdorfer Made First Model,
Which American Copied, Coun-
trymen Say.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
INNSBRUCK. Austria, July ga
memorial tablet has been unveiled on
the house of Peter Mitterdorfer, who,
Austrians claim, was the inventor OF
the typewriter.
Mitterdorfer was born Septemher
22. 1922. Forty years later he settled
an Innsbruck and began work on his
invention. After two years he had
finished his first typewriter" con-
traption made of wood, leather, wire
and gut strings, the types consisting
of sharp needles. Forty-seven years
later this first attempt was found in
the attic of his house.
Disputing that the typewriter is an
American invention, the Austrian ver-
sion is that Carlos Glidden, an Amert-
can, saw the Mitterdorfer model at
the Imperial Polytechnic Institute at
Vienna, copied it, and in 1867 con-
structed the first American machine
in conjunction with G. Lathom Shoals
and S. w. Spule of Milwaukee. The
American patent was acquired by z.
Remington & Sons.

Navy May Refuse Loan of Airplanes
To Test Alleged Death Ray in Pacific

The Navy Department will not
grant the request of Edwin r.
Scott of San Francisco for the use
of some of it's equipment on which to
demonstrate the effectiveness of a new
destructive force he claims to have
invented. ..... i.
A letter was received at the De
partment yesterday from Scott ask
ing the use of a dozen airplanes and
one or two old battleships, but it was
said, because of the lack of informa-
ton concerning the invention, the re-
quest could not be needed. Several
months ago the Department gave
Scott letter to naval officers on the
West coast authorizing them to place
some facilities at his disposal in a
preliminary way, but the letter re-
ceived today indicated that he had
not presented these credentials.
