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

Game In Manchuria.
The long haired tiger is found
throughout Manchuria wherever there
is hilly country, but is never found on
the plains. It is extremely diffi
cult to bag and is by no means nu
merous. In addition to tigers the fol
lowing game may be found in Man
churia: Bear (black and brown), wapi
ti, Sika deer (two species), roedeer
serow, wild pig, leopard and lynx. All,
however, are scarce and hard to bag
with the exception of roedeer and pig.

was somewhere in the house I could
deliver my speech. Wife—No, dear;

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
