One of the revelations.in the case of William Gessert, Sheboygan country farmer, convicted of obstructing -the nat- ional army law by persuading a son not to respond to the draft and now on his way to serve five years in a federal prison, is astounding indeed. - Here it is: “Gessert—Says he is forty-seven, and was born on the. farm he now occupies. He declares he was educated in the district school of Rhine township, but had difficulty in understanding questions and making replies in English. Born in Sheboygan county forty-seven years ago, and yet experiencing “difficulty in understanding questions and making questions and making replies in English.” We talk of Americanizing our imimigrants. Here, how- ever, is a native of America, almost half a century old, who does not understand the language of America! Is it fair to him that in his youth he was not prepared for ‘American citizenship ? . Is“this fair to the many others like him? Is it fair to America? And the movement of German study in America’s common schools, which prevents American children from learning America’s language, goes right on. - A similar case of father and son is reported by the Nebraska council of defense. - Both sobbed bitterly. Both repented. The son said: \ “Gentlemen of the council: I wish to say that the trouble with my father and with hundreds of others of our citizens born in Germany is that they are permitted to read German news- papers. Foreign language newspapers should be abolished and your state council took the first step when it asked for the banishment of foreign languages in our schools.” But meanwhile the preservation -of Germanism among immigrants and the inculcation of Germanism in the native born goes on. Meanwhile America is being divided and undermined. ) As a result of careful planning and concerted effort, A hundred ships were launched on the Fourth of July.. Perhaps some of the launchings were delayed a few days and some of them advanced a few days ahead of actual preparedness:for launching, in order ta add special interst to the occasion because of the day. And it is well that emphasis should thus be placed : upon the importance of increased shipping. But the launching of a hundred ships in one day will be a misfortune rather than a blessing if it causes péople to over- estimate our strength or relax their effort to speed up every: activity incident to the prosecution of the war. One-day demon- strations are splendid for the purpose of arousing enthusiasm' but this war will be won by the achievements of 365 days in the year. 0. AUSTRIAN BARON TALKS LIKE A PRETZEL Baron von Burian, Austro-Hungarian foreign minister,in an address to the Austrian and Hungarian premiers is quoted in a Vienna dispatch as saying in substance that peace is possible but the obstinate claims of allied statemen. The baron is talking like a pretzel. (4 YES. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GRAFTERS? Says a dispatch from Washington: With the co-operation of the department of justice, the war department is putting into effect a system of control designed to protect the government in the procurement of all war materials. ¢ —o TOO LATE. - ‘Philadelphia papers of July 8, 1918, announced that a large stove factory there had ben taken over for use in making Lewis machin guns for the American army. Just fourteen months late. 0- ‘Another woman has been acquitted for killing a mere man. If this thing keeps up it will not be long before the life insurance companies will be forced to include this mode of death with suicide in their list of “exceptions.” 0 The only American troops that will ever “take to flight” are our squadrons of ‘“Eagles,” and when they get busy, the Hun will desperately wish they had ‘“stood their ground.” -0 i Our summer.regding will be the newspapers.

The chief reason for this is' that He will take us over the vanishing Indian trails of the last frontier and under the spell of his oratory we will see the beauty and majesty of the primal woods and will learn to love the children of the forest—the laugh- ter-loving, steel-spined, elemental types which the frontier produces. Sarett will wear the costume of the wilderness guide and will tell tales in the dialect of the French-Canadlan. He will sing the songs of the Chip- pewas, rollicking squaw dance songs and the plaintive lullabies of Indian mothers. He will play Indlan music and dance the weird dances of the medicine men. He will impersonate, with remarkable realism, the Chippewa chiefs as they deliver, with aboriginal power and naive humor, their council talks at the tribal pow wows.
