"Pennsylvania Dutch," that curloui combination of German, English anc Yankee, which since Revolutlonarj times has developed In parts of Penn sylvania and Ohio, Is going Into the discard. For more than a century II has been growing just as language! always grow, with use. It has cor rupted words, made words, created forms, one mlRlit sny a grammar ol Its own. It has not, It Is true, pro duced a literature. But It has been th speech of a considerable number ol persons in their homes. It long since ceased to be recognizable as German, and English It never was. In It, stu dents tell us, are mingled German, English, Welsh, French and even Gae lic words. "Pennsylvania Dutch" has been 'the dialect of those German disciples of Peter Menno who came to America, some of them In pre-Revolutlon days, seeking religious liberty and political freedom. Some of these went Into Ohio during Revolution days, others In to Canada, some as late as Civil war uted to Isolation. And they were large ly an agricultural people. Now the word has gone forth among the Mennonltes that It Is no longer patriotic to speak "Pennsylvania Dutch," and as fast and as thoroughly as possible these unbelievers In war are discarding the speech of childhood and home associations. The task Is not an Impossible one to them, since all or nearly all of them have had some ex perience in the common schools. From among them 8,000 young men have gone overseas to flght the oppressors of their ancestors and the barbarians who threaten their own liberties. The banning of "Pennsylvania Dutch" Is an Impressive object lesson to all Americans. Let's all resolve to speak English. Detroit Free Press. Russia Is printing from 600,000 to 1,000,000 rubles a day on the bolshevist presses. If the printer makes a mis take and prints "kopecks" for rubles, It doesn't matter very much. Airships may eventually make the journey across the ocean so quickly that a man In Europe may pass the week end In America and be back on Monday for work in London or Paris.

A remarkable Instance occurred somewhere In France, in which a faith ful flyer brought his machine safely home, although he himself had died from the effects of a wound received In an encounter with an enemy ma chine In the air. Knowing that he was about to die, he propped himself up In such a way that the rudder bar and control lever were kept in position, carefully calculated the distance back to camp and arranged the machine so that It would volplane safely to the ground after his soul had departed. His plans were successful, and when his horrified companions hastened to him they found In his pocket a note book In which wnsthe information he hod been sent to obtain "at all costs."
