SUBSCRIPTION ONE YEAR . . $l.OO | SIX MONTHS. . $75 The Aim of the Foreign Language Papers of America To HELP PRESERVE THE IDEALS AND SACRED TRAD ITIONS OF THIS, OUR ADOPTED COUNTRY, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; TO REVERE ITS LAWS AND IN SPIRE OTHERS TO OBEY THEM; To STRIVE UNCEASING LY TO QUICKEN THE PI BLIC'S SENSE OF CIVIC DUTY; IN ALL WAYS TO AID IN MAKING THIS COUNTRY GREAT ER AND BETTER THAN WE FOUND IT. q TOPICS IN BRIEF q You never hear a dressmaker that figures do not lie. . i Gen. Carranza should know that a truly great states man does not change his mind as often as his linens. In the meantime where is the genial alliance of those South American states that was going to save Uncle Sam the trouble of pacifying Mexico. There is no use blaming the teachers of elecutiou for the way congress wastes its time in talk. Most of the con gressional talk is not even elecution. Pueblo Indians invented flats to meet their military ne cessity, and we keep them as an economic expedient. But we have improved on their lighting and heating. American meat barons and the British government have come to an agreement at just $20,000,000. This, dear children goes to show that the great powers can get along with each other if they choose to do so. We do not want Mexico, we want merely a peaceable and sanitary neighbor. Another way to attain fame is to be appointed to the postmastership. Our country may need its young men but baseball first yelled for help. In time of Ford, prep;ire for Roosevelt. Mr. Henry Ford now says he believes in "reasonable; preparedness." Who is oorrupting this good man? Justice Hughes' silence is getting so intense that it can be distinctly heard all ove - the country. At least Villa and the Crown Prince have proved that dying is not nearly so fata I as it once was. Villa may derive some consolation from the thought that the whipping he's getting hurts us more than him. Hie Italian campaign lias at least shown that the sons of Italy are now among the greatest mountain climbers the world has ever known. It is an unfortunate and perhaps a peculiar coinciden ce that our little crises with Germany and Mexico have twice come at about the same time. The Carranza Government is arranging to buy up all of its paper money. They must have heard of the great price being paid for scrap paper in the United States. The German Nation;! 1 Anthem. "Meinself und Gott und St. Patrick?'' "Villa can't live forever," reminds an editor. Exactly, but neither can the rest of us. Those Teuton incendiary plot revelations indicate that Germany still has money to burn. In the matter of our other cheek, Germany evidently feels that one good turn deserves another. Mr. Hearst actually (ouldnt have been a bit more ex cited over that Irish rising if he had a cattle ranch there. Amato and Paderewski booked for a Sing Sing concert somehow reminds us somewhat of stars and stripes. Statisticians of the agricultural department have not yet reported on the promising crop of June brides. A good way to get one's mind off the war is to go to a ball game, where all minor considerations are forgotten. When some historian digs up the assertion that George Washington used profanity, it would be remembered that; he had a great deal of provocation and was no mollycoddle. Suggestions that the Republicans nominate Wilson are calculated to impress the Progressives with possibilites of gret?t future responsibilites, Carranza is anxious tc have relations with this country' confined to diplomatic correspondence. j Doiande e Risposle tei Di raffle MM Metici D.

Wife—No, dear; you know very well the last three cooks left because they thought I was har boring a lunatic. —Judge. King Alfred's Bugle. The most interesting of all bugles ia the famous "blowing stone," first used by Alfred the Great to signal his troops on the field of Ashdown. It is in the historic Vale of the White Horse, in Berkshire, England, and is a mass of sandstone so curiously pierced with holes that when blown it emits a loud, clear call. The sound travels over the green meadows, through the woods of the river Ock, echoing among the White Horse hills and down to King Alfred's camp on the southern slope and back to Wayland Smith's cave, where the smith lived, whom no one ever saw, who shod the travels' horses left at his door.—London Specta tor.
