By oration much of the water returned again fo the poles; it falls there as now. thus remewing the supply and permitting it to be again drawn upon in the melting season. All this predi- cates “Martians” of a high order of intelligence with a degree of engineer- ing skill to which even we have not vet attained.

The soul of America was cleaner that Karl Muck was locked up. The freedom of America was safer when the government re- him from among honorable Amerlcans. It is gratifying news that the Swiss government has decided not to press its claim that Dr. Muck was one of its citizens, We think that the citi- zenship of Muck is more than Switzer- land could support without nausea. Let Dr. Muck’s allegiance remain where it belongs—in Berlin. We never heard of “the great Swiss of the Symphony orches- tra.” We do not understand that Dr. Muck came to our land by grace of the Swiss government We never were asked to believe that Dr. Muck the hearer of Swiss culture musical interpretations to or the was Swiss | United States. What a shallow and sickening chap- ter was all this cant and pother abhout Muck's “Swiss citizenship.” He reeks of German foundation—in part fine, in part vile. In so far as he thrilled us with memories of the musie masters of old Germany. in so far as through his baton the splendor of Beethoven was given new significance and added majesty for us he was fine. But that Germany is buried in the past for us now. Maybe it will be dug up again, when the people of Germany learn the truths of humanity and slough off the foulness of Kultur and Krupp. For the time, we may see Muck only as he made himself appear to Amer- ica—German of Germans, in sym- pathy with the abominations which are the familiars of his hell-taught preceptor and master. the Kaiser. The “Swis citizenship” claim was made when it appeared to protect him from justice, to cloak his Germanism in a time when Germanism became intol- erable. | | i Russian We congratulate our friend Switzer- | land, for deciding to wash its hands x from outside of a dirty mess. War in Tras-Caucasia. (From Toronto Mail and Empire). The report a few days ago that the Armenians had, after heavy fighting, occupied the town of Van, in Trans- Caucasia, received hardly second thought by newspaper readers. But, with little advertising to the outside world, and with only lmited military supplies and organization, the A menians and Georgians of this dis- trict are putting up a stout struggle against the invading Turks. They are seeking to establish themselves distinct national state. Georgia is little known to world except, perhaps. as the of beautiful Circassian women. But it had up to the nineteenth tury, 2.000 years of existence independent Christian kingdom. Join- to Russia, principally for protec tion against the Moslems of Turkey and Persia, it has been the home of fighting race. Thrown to the Tur- wolves by the Bolsheviks, the Georgians have naturally taken up again. With them have joined the Armenians driven out by the Tur- kish reoccupation of the and Erzerum areas. The demands by Germany that Turkey be ceded the RBatonm district were granted by the Bolsheviki, but the Gegrglan Supreme as a the out- home as ed kish | of { dents of Berl | ready | me cen. | Man an * Trebizond | them in this Council immediately mobi~ lized the entire male population and defied them. The drunken sailors of # the Black sea fleet hombarded Soules hum, on the Georgian coast, untif the Georgians captured ten ofi ships for a naval defence force. heavy task of the brave little péop may be understood when it is that they have 150 miles of coast defend, and a front of 200 mik against the Turks., With the Armen- ians, their forces number agout 400.- 000, and:they have some very diSy tinguished ‘gbnerals from the old imperial arm Thus Generals Marshall and by have allles co-operating them against the Turks.

Allen-. with. to German School in Namur. (Cologne Zeitung). the Iaiser's school first at< of the general On the occasion of hirthday the German tracted the attention ublic. It gradually developed from a holiday school iwith German courses, as it was originally founded in’ August, 1917, into a German ele- mentary school. Many difficulties had to be overcome. All German children in Namur were finall¥” brought together in the German school. In the highest grade thera are on the average 16. In most cases they are children of German fathery and Belgian mothers. In these cases the children almost always speaky French as their native tongue ang if they speak German at all it is with a foreign accent. This makes the es- tablishment of a German school a necessity, so that these children may obtain complete mastery of German. A- gratifying feature is the develop- ment of the evening courses, whiche are intended primarily for the Bel- glan wives of Germans, 8o that they can learn the German language. Tha boyvs are also taught manual training and the girls are given instructions in typewriting. Generally speaking, the German school in Namur is there= fore to be regarded as superion elementary school. The plan of opening the instruction to children of Namur is being cone sidered by those who direct the poliay. For t purpose it will be necessary to establish a Gers= man pension.
