Fuliln, one of the most, prominent of modern Ger man , playwrights and journaliKts, summarized his observations in the United Stales. That he was giviin: expression (o moro than merely per sona! opinion is evidenced by tho stern measures adopted by Germany for the purposo of establishing (lie use of Gonnnn in tho Polish prov inces and in Alsnee by tho decrees which forbade French pven on signs and on tombstones and tho orders milking it a erinio to impart religious instruction in tho Polish tongue. Tho propaganda for tho Gonnnn language has always been a well-recognized phase of imperial Kulturpol- llik, It was regarded us an impor tant means for establishing German influence in foreign lands, for under mining national unity, nnd for keep ing German immigrants in solid blocks wheh could bo used as con venient inukc-weights in favor of German policies. As one of the lead ers in the Pan-German movement ex pressed it years ago, "the importance of Germany in the future will depend on I wo things first, the number of persons who are politically subject to the empire, and, second, the number of those Ihruout the world who speak I he German language. ' Mint the kaiser's sympathizers in the United Stales hnvo taken this course to heart is borne out liv the vigorous efforts which havo been made to establish (he German Inn- gunge in our public schools ever since the Pnu-Gei-man idea came to nclive consciousness here some twenty years ago. During this period the number of high school pupils taking instruction in German has risen from 8,ntl(l to 312,000. Even more mark ed has been the increase in this di rection in the grade schools. Now that the events of the last few months have taught Americans to look upon this apparently innocent educational movement ill tho same light in which it lias always lawn held by Germans both here nud in Ger many, it is small wonder that they will have none of it. German language instruction has been abolished in nil the grade schools of Toledo ; in Clev eland it has been eliminated from the first four grades; in Ualtimore from ill the grades; in Milwaukee Ameri can children will no longer have the mlwintiigc of a bi-lingnal education in the first and second grades, and even Chicago has torn from its spell ing books the nauseous adulation of the kaiser which the exponents of I all-German policies had caused to be inserted. i'hal this aversion for evervthiuc German will he intensified with time is iuc itablc. The danger is that it will attach too much thai is admirable and that we could adopt with advan tage. Our civilization will thereby be made the pooler. One of the great tragedies, of the war is that the evil aiuliilion of the llohcnrollcius lias laid its foul hands upon tho sacred MEDFORD MATT.!

It rests with them to .prove to us and to tho world thnt a wide eluisiu separates the Gcrninny of Schiller, Goethe and Lessing from tho monster state created by tho Ho henzollerns nnd their servants; that the genius that peopled the woods and dales with tho fairies of child hood had nothing in common with the demon that ravaged Belgium, France and Poland; that the German spirit is indeed free nnd not sunk in hopeless servility to unworthy mas tors. Hut not by lukewar niallegiiince to our country, not by half-hearted support of our cause, not by carping criticism of things American, not by secret gratification over tho reverses of our allies, can they bring this about. The Turnvoroin, the I.ieder kruiiz, tho Shidtvcrbund, tho Nation alhund and Deiitscliiinterrieht must all bo forgotten. Tlieptory of Amer ican liberty, from its foundations in Magna Carta, to the present time, must displace all these as the subject of their propaganda; everything that will contribute to our overwhelming victory must he tho object of their activity. Thru such men, after the vyar, will the benefits of Gorman science, art and literature bo trans mitted. l!y such men ulono can the odium which the llohenzollcrn dyn asty has drawn upon nil things Ger man be averted, nnd the treasures of Germany's past be preserved for the world.

In tho first place, while he was en joying a perfectly nice vacation tho American government heartlessly re vealed that the Swedish minister to Argentina had forgotten his neutral ity.

The Incom plete 'parts of the reply of Germany and Austria to Pope Benedicts' peace plea, which arrived before press tlmo are given prominence by the morn ing newspapers. i The Dally Mall characterizes the Austrian reply as "a vague docu ment" and comments on "the new moves in the peace plot" in which it says: . "We are told that the German gov ernments are arranging tef ms with Spain. The allies' peace condition stand on record. Germany has not as yet the slightest Intention of ac cepting them. From them the allies will never recede." ' I The Graphic declares: "Since no high expectations were felt In this country upon the answer the .central powers would make to the pope, there can.be no disappoint ment at the terms of the documents which reached London last night. Meanwhile President Wilson must surely.be disillusioned as to the dis tinction between the German govern ment an'd the German people. The real hopes of-the allies does not lie is a divided Germany, nor In papal notes, but in relentless blows on the German armies such as Sir Douglas Uaig has Just delivered." i The Chronicle says that It Is Im possible to suspect the earnestness of the Austrian emperor's reply, ad ding: i "Sincerity breathes thru every part of this remarkable utterance."
