MORE IMPRACTICAL FADDISTS The National Americanization Committee, a new' organization of impractical faddists with headquarters; in New York City, has asked 150 colleges to take definite. length to which the idea of "preparedness" is carried in The dispatches tell us that the destruction of men by the war has caused the thinking men of Germany to look into the future and consider how the gaps may be filled most quickly. Here are some of the suggestions serious ly considered: Premiums for motherhood, premiums to increase the willingness to marry, the reduction of the legal age for marriage, the removal of all bureaucratic legal obstacles to marriage, measures to make possible marriage for those who feel they cannot marry, state premiums for large families, on one side; heavy taxation of bachelors, old maids, childless couples and those who adhere to the one or two children system, on the other." Just how some of these can be worked out cannot be easily.understood. How can a premium to increase will ingness to marry, increase marriages when there are not men enough to go round? How can "a premium for motherhood" get results when there are none for father hood? How .can a just tax be laid on old maids, when there are no men for them to marry? However, aside from these objections, it shows, the steps to train men and women, by courses and lectures,: Germany, for even now with the most stupendous war in to become leaders in Americanization. The association ; all history on her hands, she is planning to increase her was born at a dinner of the incent Astor's, October lo ' niliation so that she mav be as strong numerically as witnout any especial parentage, just coming to me somei her enemVj Russia in the years to come. While it is only p ace oeiween soup una c ese r . someone exnresseu me hinted at, polygamy may be one of the idea that all foreigners should be taught to speak Ene- Ilfch, and the association, like Minerva, leaped fully armed into life. Here are some of the things it wants: "We need to be sure that the foreign-speaking men unarming our railroads, making up our . construction gangs, filling our ammunition and other factories are American in their ideals, their loyalties, their regard for American citizenship. We need to make every foregn speaking community an American community in its social ideals and its standards of living. ' "The only way to do these things is to see that the ways and means of assimilation are available to every immigrant now living in this country, and that he is in vited and encouraged to use them. The English language must be universally taught and used. Naturalization must be encouraged. Immigrant women must be taught how to keep the baby well in American climates, must learn our methods of sanitation, kinds of food, etc., if im migrant homes are to become American homes and Amer ican standards of living are to prevail." As usual with these half-baked associations, they un dertake to prescribe a remedy without understanding the disease. Instead of appealing to the colleges to teach the English language to "the foreign speaking men, manning our railroads, making up our construction gangs, and fill ing our ammunition and other factories," would it not be better to appeal to the railroad managers and the owners of "our ammunition and other factories," to employ American labor and pay American wages? It is not the poor devil of an immigrant that needs education along these lines, but the greedy American railroad or factory owners, who import this class of labor in order to reduce wages. The individual American who hasn't any business of his or her own to attend to becomes inbued with the idea that he or she had better uplift humanity and improve the race. Then they seek more of their kind, form an assocla- answers, and the VI 111 1 ll 11 ll ill 1 main one. it reauy iooks as tnougn it must oe mat, not only in Germany but in Belgium, France and some of the other countries, or a reversion to primeval conditions and the legitimatising of that class known in law as "nullus fillius," whose paternal parents are unknown. This is one of the things that may follow the war, and how many new questions are to be born of this titanic struggle, only the future will disclose. The state officials who examined into the Peabody fire in which 22 children lost their lives, reported that "no body was to blame, and that the children lost their lives because there were no fire escapes and the doors opened inward." That unfortunate combination of circum stances alone was responsible for their deaths. Probably one of the most deadly effects of the Euro pean war will be the flood of war stories in the maga zines, and the greater flood of war plays in the theaters. In the battle of the diplomats in the Balkan countries, the Germans as elsewhere showed the best generalship, and out maneuvered their enemies. A Galley o Fun ! The clerk called to another In the back of the store, who came forward. To the other he said: "Say, Bill, do you know of a book called Cornatine, by a fellow named Cobb?" "What's that?" he asked in surprise, j the old gentleman broke in: "Cobb's Cornatine. Here, see for yourself." "I'm afraid you've made a mistake," said the new arrival with a twinkle. "Cobb's Cornatine is a new breakfast food." "Ah, now I see why the grocer didn't understand me when I asked him for a package of Queed," re marked the customer in manifest re lief. G. KAEMMERLING.
