MORE AMERICAN REFUGEES
FROM RUSSIA REACH SWEDEN
v -
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 1!). (Iiy tile
Associated Tress.) Another parly
of refugees from Hussin, number inj;
COO persons, nnd incliidiuy: (id Amer
ican nnd lirilisli civilians, arrived
yesterday nt llopnnindn. In the par
ty were 400 Italian officers nnd soldiers.
HP HE patriotic nation-wide movement to bar the ,Ger
man languasre from American schools and colleges
had its origin in the discovery that the teachiiiff of Ger
man in the United States was part and parcel of the plan
to Germanize America and spread the ideals of "knltnr"
among Americans to keep the Germans in this country
from becoming assimilated, to keep them Germans and
subjects of the kaiser and secret enemies of the land of
their adoption. i
The German propaganda as disclosed in the exposure
of the activities of the Gcriiian-Anieriean alliance, is re
sponsible for the maintenance of German language schools
in German population centers and for the vogue German
has had in our public school system. In many districts
it has gone so far that only German is taught and English
is barred in otherfe the two tongues are on an equal
basis 1
The German government planned to make parts of
America a "German colony and sought by clandestine
methods, the cultivation of pro-German sentiment for
in no way could the kaiser's purposes be carried out better
than by keeping the German language alive and increas
ing public knowledge of it, so that the infernal doctrines
of kultur would permeate through German literature and
poison the minds of German-Americans as thev have the
people ot Germain'.
As an effective protest against this insidious Ger
manizing of America, the teaching of German has been
largely stopped, and should cease altogether. There is no
reason why public funds should be expended in proinul
gating an enemy language used as an instrument to ad
vance ideals abhorrent to civilization. People who want
to speak German should return to Germany. There is no
reason why the language of America is not good enough
ior tnose wiio live in America.
The teaching of German has however, found an advo
cate in the person of Philander P. Claxton, United States
commissioner of education, who thinks the movement to
oar German is a "torin ot emotional hysteria." He be
lieves that all American, school children should studv
German and be able to speak it. He opposes further raids
on the lying, - false, misleading German text books and
hopes that they will be restored after the war is over.
He says:
"I .consider the nation-wide movement to eliminate the German lan
guage from public schools and ordinary affairs of social and commercial
life, a form of emotional hysteria nnd opposo such a course.
"I oppose the elimination of the German language 'because when this
world war Is over and the nations settle back to peacoful pursuits we will
have to deal with 130,000,000 people of tho German type. . Commercially,
in the future, Americans will have more to do with the Germans than ever,
also, we are not fighting the German language, which is so rich in lit
erary association." . .,
Claxton was born in Tennessee, received his early edu
cation in the public schools, but was a student two' years
in Germany, returning to teach Viei'inan in this country.
He became professor of German at the North Carolina
State Normal college and is an ardent admirer of German
literature, lie has been commissioner of education since
1911 but in the minds of patriotic Americans has served
quite long enougn.
Germans will have to learn to speak English after the
war if they wish to trade with America. They had no dif
ficulty in acquiring it before the war.' Besides no true
American ever wants to buy anything made in Germany
nereairer not at least until tiic Uernian people become
civilized.
As for literature, there is just as much need to learn
French, Hussian, Italian and Spanish as German. Most
of recent kultur permeated, kaiser canting modern Ger
man literature is not fit to read anyway.
It is more important for Americans to learn French
than any other language. No people are closer to Ameri
can hearts than the French people. No other nation will
be closer associated, commercially, industrially and so
cially than France, for America must aid in repairing flic
ruin of the Hun. The tics wilh Italy will also be close and
no literature or art is richer than the Italian.
From a strictly commercial viewpoint, Spanish and
Russian arc far more important than German. Spanish is
spoktfi from the American border to Cape Horn and in
Hie Philippines, while Russia, sprawling over nearly half
the globe, will be the scene of the greatest development of
the future.
It appears now that the kaiser has an ally in carrying
out his propaganda in Professor Claxton, vice president of
a peace league, and a member of more peace societies than
any other high government official. There ought to be no
room on Uncle Sam's payroll for the distinguished
pacifist and advocate of the German language in America.

Striking paper mill workers who went

If you have Catarrhal Deaf
ness or are even just a little
hard of hearing or have head
noises go to your druggist and
got 1 ounce of Parmint (double
strength), and add to it
pint of hot water and a little
granulated sugar. Take 1 table
spoonful four times a day.
This will often bring quick
relief from the distressing bead
noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy
nnd tho mucus stop dropping
into the throat. It Is easy to
prepare, costs little and Is
pleasant to take. Anyone los
ing hearing or who has Catar
rhal Deafness or head noises
should give this proscription a
trial.
