| 1832-1918 MEMBER OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
TUESDAY EVENING,
to take up with local school boards
the elimination of the study of Ger
man in the schools of Pennsylvania.
In his letter Mr. Moyer says:
"In reply to your letter I concede
that the elimination of German from
the curriculum of the public schools
is a question to be settled by the
Board of School Directors of each
school district. For that reason, as
the official head of the Patriotic Or
der Sons of America in this state, I
have requested our 900 camps to
petition the school authorities in
their respective localities to imme
diately abolish the study of German.
"Tou say in your letter that you
do not deem it wise nor patriotic to
go contrary to the policy and wishes
of the President of the United States,
and you make reference to a letter
Written by Hon. P. P. Claxton, Unitod
States Commissioner of Education,
regarding the retention of the teach
ing of German in our schools and
colleges, and he is quoted by you as
saying in the closing paragraph of
that letter as follows: 'I have reason
to believe that the views and senti
ments expressed in this letter are
fully in harmony with those (if the
administration at Washington.'
"I respectfully submit thfre is no
more loyal state in the Umon than
Pennsylvania and none more eager
and willing to stand back of the
President. It seems to me, however,
that when the Governor of this Com
.monwealth, under whom you hold
your appointment, goes on record as
favoring the elimination of the
teaching of German in the public
schools bf the state, depart
ment' chief should be in accord with
that sentiment and especially the
head of our school system.
Berks Oounty Protests
"I have in my possession a vigor
ous protest from Berks county
against the position taken by you.
This Berks county American ! believes
with me that the State Superinten
! dent of Public Instruction should
j take a firm position and not hedge
| about for an excuse when asked for
] an expression of opinion as to his at-
I titude on the question of continuing
| the teaching of the German language
I in tills state, in many of the rural
districts, notably in the eastern
counties, through which 1 have re
cently traveled, I find an alarming
pro-German undercurrent, and In
several instances where the question
has been put up to the school board
the excuse offered by them is that
the state superintendent is not In
favor of the movement to discon
tinue the teaching of German.
"Right here, in our own state, do
not we know something of the Prus
sians? We have heard of their devil
ishness, of their desire to become the
masters of the world, of their poli
cies of brutality and of vandalism,
and their attempts to terrorize men
and women into submission. If we
stand supinely by and do not make
an effort to mould the minds of our
youth so that when they become men
iind women they will manifest a
justifiable contempt and a righteou!"

I propaganda formulated and spxead

SEK-ATOK. J.W VEEWS.'
Senator John W. Weeks, Repub
lican, of Boston, has formally an
nounced his candidacy for re-elec
tion. The announcement is of par
ticular interest at this time because
of the repeated mention of Governor
MeCall as a possible Senatorial can
didate.
destroy the manhood and the wom
anhood of the world, we will raise a
crop of weaklings and 'become the
laughingstock of real red-blooded
men and women. Pennsylvania
should lead the way.
Can't AfVord to Pussyfoot
"We cannot as a people afford to
pussyfoot on this question. 'They
who take the, sword must perish by
the sword.' They who sidestep the
issue now will surely perish in the
storm of protest that is sweeping this
state. This sort of sentimentality that
we can best follow the President by
loving the German people and hating
| their imperial masters, is buncombe.
I repeat what I said in a former
statement: 110 decent, s?lf-rcspecting
person will want to hold communion
or fellowship with any Prussian now
o\r hereafter; and the children of this
generation will not be forced to study
a language that represents such low
ideals, if the red-blooded AtneHtans,
of whom there are still some remain
ing, are successful in driving from
the schools of this state and nation a
language that represents the most
| damnable propaganda that ever
I cursed freedom.

MAJESTIC BILL
FULL OF COMEDY
Two Laughable Acts to Open
and Close Program; Nature
Skit Is Pleasing
Not satisfied with the record es
tablished last week, the Majestic
management has another act to close
the program for the flrst three days
of the week that kept everyone seat
ed for the tirst show last night until
the final curtain. Both the first and
last offerings on the bill are big
comedy hits.
Wellington and Sylvia start the
fun with some novelty juggling pre
sented in an original way, together
with some crayon pictures drawn
"while you Wait." Millard and Mar
lin have a weak opening for their
songs and dances, but after a few
old jokes on sugar and coal short
age they gradually improve and at
the close are recalled for a number
of bows.
When the curtain went up for the
skit, "A Hunter's Game," the audi
ence saw only an autumn scene, ar
tistically staged, and a setter just
about to start on a run. A storm of
applause came the next instant. In
a few seconds another dog came on
and stood beside the first. This
brought the same approval. The re
mainder of the skit consisted of bird
calls of all kinds by Frank Stafford
as the hunter, followed by a dialog
between him and Miss Marie Stone, a
"summer girl." The production is
one of the best of the season and is
sure to please everyone.
Ditzel and Carroll, one In black
face, the other as a physician, have
a farcical offering filled with jokes
and a good display of the wit in
exaggeration.
The best cycling act in months Is
listed for the close, being presented
by the Franz Troupe. In addition to
a number, of difficult feats, there
are many antics presented on curi
ously-shaped bicycles made from
hoops, barrels and the like. The
feats were so entertaining that no
one left at the first show last night
until the curtain dropped.

Thurston, the magician, who will
appear at the Orpheum. Friday night
and Saturday, mati-
Thnrnlon. nee and night, is the
(he Magician recognized leader of
all mystery amuse
ments, he lias gathered from the
farthest corners of the world all the
interesting, entertaining, amusing and
mystifying ideas for the new program
lie offors this season, which is said to
surpass all his previous efforts to at
tain the absolute.
Thurston has many thousands of
dollars invested in the preparation of
his new mysteries. The familiar
catch-line, "The Wonder Show of the
Universe," he gives assurance, will bo
lived up to more generously than in
any of the years since he succeeded
ihe great Kellar.
Thurston has held for ten years the
foremost position in the ranks of the
profession in which Herrmann and
Kellar won lasting distinction. Men
and women from all walks of life find
diversion in a Thurston performance.
The most prominent of Thurston's
new mysteries are; "The Master Ef
fects of Snirit Mediums," "Mephisto's
paughter," "Every Woman's Wish,"
and a sensational sketch called "Villa
Captured," showing a remarkable and
daring race between an automobile
and motorcycle. ,
One of the most popular forms of
entertainment on the. American stage
to-day is good, old-fashion
iAt Ibe ed.' minstrelsy, with its
Mnjetlc budget of jokes and good
•singing. Ditzel and Car
roll, who occupy a prominent posi
tion on the Majestic's vaudeville pro
gram the early half of the present
week, are entertainers in blackface
and present an act that is a decided
hit. They have a line of excellent ma
terial, they know how to put
across the footlights at its true worth.
An artistic little singing and dancing
skit is being offered by Millard and
Marlin, young couple of pleasing
stage presence and marked talent.
They make several changes of ward
robe, which adds much to their act.
Frank Stafford and Company, pre
senting an amusing little playlet en
titled "A Hunter's Game," and fwo
other attractions, round out the bill.
To-day is the last opportunity pa
trons of the Colonial Theater will
have to see the
Alice Brndy screen version of Eu
in "The Knife* gene Walter's great
dramatic success,
"The Knife," in which' beautiful Alice
Brady is starred. The story is woven
about the mysterious disappearance
of a young Southern girl while on a
visit to New York. She Is finally res
cued from the clutches of two crimi
nals after an exciting search by her
fiancee, assisted by a young lawyer
friend. The plot is an intricate one.
and the situations exciting. A strong
love interest runs through the play,
and numerous comedy touches add
relief'to the tense scenes.
To-morrow and Thursday Metro's
great patriotic picture, "Draft 258,"
will be shown. Mabel Taliaferro, one
of the most distinguished ,actresses in
America, Is the star of this produc
tion, and is surrounded by a strong
cast, including Walter Miller, -the tal
ented actor, who played the title role
in "The Slacker."
The "Show of Wonders." the twen
tieth mammoth musical spectacle of
the New York Winter
The "Show Garden, is booked at
of Wonders" the Orpheum, Satur-
Rooked for May 4.
the Orpheum This engagement
' promises one of the
big events of the season. From the
very beginning of the famous New
Xork Winter Garden it has been the
endeavor of its producers to make
each succeeding entertainment more
pretentious and more wonderful than
its predecessors. And this worthy am
bition they are said to have fulfilled as
far as human ingenuity and conscien
tious effort can succeed. With an
entertainment bearing HIP mystic
title of "Show of Wonders," they have
even been spurred on to further ef
forts in order to live up to the prom
ise of its alluring name.
The "Show of Wonders" is a verit
able wondershow. It lias been made
as marvelous an entertainment as the
wizards of Winter Garden stagecraft
could devise. Cast, chorus, scenic,
equipment and music are all the very
last word in excellence.
Scenically, this huge entertainment
is said to have reached the very pin
nacle of the art of the producer. In
its fourteen stage pictures the. audi
ence is carried from the gilded re
sorts of New York's famous "Great
White Way" to the splendors of the
mystic temples of the Orient. And
crowning the monster achievements of
the scenic artist is the sensationally
thrilling setting depicting the interior
of an undersea fighting craft, the
"Submarine F-7" scene.
Presenting a galaxy of actors sel
dom, if ever, gathered together in a
single Artcraft
"Whispering Chorus" picture, and
nt the Regent ii 1 1 e d with
dramatic and
tense moments that hold the interest
throughout, Cecil B. DeMille's superb
production of "The Whispering
Chorus" was presented at the Regent
Theater to a packed house yesterday.
The theme of self-sacrifice, which is ]
the dominating note of this great
Paramount picture, was treated in a
highly artistic manner. It is the fea
ture of the bill to-day and to-morrow.
It is an absorbing dramatic story of
a man who, harassed by debt, resorts
to theft. He deserts his wife, becomes
a hermit 'longshoreman, changes
clothes with a drowned man, assumes
an alias and later is hunted down by
the police who mistake him for, liis
own murderer. When he learns that
his wife is .happily married to the
Governor of his state, he goes to death
rather than wring from her the ad
mission that he is her husband. The
various scenes are filled with thrills
and dramatic action of the highest
order.
On the same program appears
FLUSH THE BLOOD
WITH PURE FRUIT
SALTS INJURING
In winter most men and women
lead hothouse lives.
A Hugging appetite, a disposition to
pick at this dish and that, rather
than eat a square meal, is among the
earlj| indications that the human
machine needs a thorough cleans
ing.' Few people realize this is a
critical point in their health. They
do not know that unless the right
kind of medicine is taken NOW their
whole spring and sumpier may be
ruined b/ continued ill health.
The condition of your blood is the
thermometer of your health. Spring
is the time to get rid of the accu
mulated impurities that gather dur
ing the winter and load the blood
with poisons.
It is the height of folly to dose
the stomach with dangerous drugs
when the blood is crying aloud for a
thorough cleansing. A spoonful of
pure fruit salts in a glass of hot
water, taken regularly on arising in
the morning for just a few days
will flush the blood clean of poisons,
open the bowels in a healthful, natu
ralway, and tone the entire system
until every organ is doing its work
and that tired j out, half-sick feeling
becomes a thing of the past.
Just try this test to-day. Go to
Kennedy's Medicine Store or any oth
er well stocked drug store, ask for a
few ounces of Arcosal Fruit Salts,
start to-morrow morning taking ac
cording to directions which accom
pany each package and see how
quickly the system responds, how the
spirits chirk up, the good rich blood
goes pumping through the arteries
and you face the day's work with re
newed ambition and pleasure.
Be sure .and ask for Arcosal Fruit
Salts put up in the original package.

"Those Athletic Girls," a Mack Scn-j
nett comedy.
Almost unheralded. "The Price of a
Good Time" came to the Victoria
"The Price of
a Gooil Time''
Theater yesterday and
captivated evehy au-
dience, because it is
a human interest story
that grips the heartstrings of all.
While it is far from a preachment
.sort of photoplay it does nevertheless
drive home many powerful truths, so
that its mission is fulfilled. "The i
Price of a Good Time" was taken fi*om
Marion Ortli's story, "The Whim." and
transcribed for the screen by that
great woman producer, Weber.
It will make you laugh. It will make
tears come and it will make you Re
