teresling matter relative to the day including the scholarly proclamation of President Wilson, (lie words ami music oT our national songs, certain celebrated poems on Jolumbus and, as well, numerous quotations and references. H was a decided! interesting presentment but most unhappily its arrival three or four days after Columbus day prevents its use in the manner designed. Accordingly the only clipping that we can send to Mr. Claxton is that of this article, assuring lilra of our distinguished appreciation of his efforts and conveying the dismal information that their purpose was thwarted by Postmaster General Burleson. Surely, two pieces of officii! mail of Hie 1'nited States government, posted in Washington on September 25. should reach Fort Wayne before October 15 uid 16. We would like very much to know what Mr. Claxton thinks about it and about the mail fervioe in general. Incidentally, Mr. Claxton. if he. expresses himself, might tell us just what the cost to the government was of this literary presentment that was smothered until after the passing of ilio occasion for which it was prepared--Port Wayne Nvws.

LOOK UP AND AHEAD. Now is a pood time for cities to reserve available open t-paces for landincs for aeroplanes. After this vfar is over there is going to be an aerial transportation system pridironins the country, and landing places will be essential pre-rcquis iles to the establishment of service.

The United States Demands an Unconditional Surrender.

MAKE IT SNAPPY. Germany's last answer isn't worth the powder to slow it sky high. It is the clumsiest effort at verbal camouflage in modern diplomacy. The kaiser's puppets must, play us for a pack of arrant fools. The diplomats of Wilhelmstrasse, God save the mark, have been stumbling along on the path of lies and deeer. these many years they cannot find their way back. They are lost in the jungle of jargon and sophistry. They have the saddle on the wrong horse if they think for a minute that they can deceive the people of the allied nations. There is more hypocrisy and more atrocious cant in the last effort of the German government than there is sulphur in Hell. We don't know what old Doc Solf was before he kaiser permitted him to tack chancellor on his name, but whatever lie was he'd better get back to' it for in his present job he can't earn enough ersatz money to buy salt to put on a bird's tail! This and this only is what the note reveals: Germany is pinned to the wall and she knows ii. She is prepared to stall, haggle and shilly-shally just as long as she can find some one to parley with. She Is playing for time with the desperation of the damned, hoping and praying that time will bring friction and strife in the allied camp. She has begged the All Highest to get in tee back ground for a period until the world is set by the ears again and then the Beast of Berlin will step forth with a great fiddle-faddle of '"I wis" and "my peoples" and "my fatherlands" and "me und Gotts." When the clown who wrote the note talks about the "honor of the German people" he need3 go no further. There is no such thing. The German answer is ambigious and involved. The Hun Is desperate. He is in the mood to give up everything and give up nothing. PIvery day sees his plight jtrow more desperate. The walls are even now tumblina about his ears. May the President's answer to this super-criming and super-liar be curt: "Tell it to Foch."

HUN'S HAND OFF ENGLAND'S THROAT. The murderous strangle hold of the Beasi has been removed from tli throat of Kngland. The Belgian coast has been evacuated by the enemy and the German dream of invasion of England's soil is forever at an end. True, she has been assailed from the air, but this danger could never be more than transitory. The great menace was offered by possible inasion by the Hun hordes of infantry from the channel ports. A few months ago the very heart of the world almost ceased to beat from very terror as the inexorable ad vance of the Germans continued day after day, and their objectives were almost within their gra.'i). Not until the war i ended will the world know hoa near the plans for the capture of the channel ports came to fruition, but that Germany was very close to victory there does not seem to be much doubt. When the complete story of that final stand on the part of the entente allied armies is made known men will be amazed at the heroism that was displayed, and will shudder at what might have happened if the quality of entente allied

courage had been anything less than one hundred per j

Beast is slowly making his way to his lair, snarling and scratching, but beaten just, the same. Foch is taming him and the .Beast is learning rapidly. Some day he will slouch forward crirtgingly and eat from the hand of his trainer the crumbs that are to be his portion. Never again will Kngland be subjected to such danger as has threatened her during the past year. By some means a guarantee of safety will be provided that will insure the inviolability of nations great and small. They will be made safe from a repetition of the evils that have beset civilization for four torturesome years. If France has been superb in this struggle. England has been magnificent. But for her navy the world would already have been nnd?r German dominion; but for her merchant marine our soldiers would still be standing on the Atlantic coast looking longingly toward Europe but unable to participate in the strugc;l for world freedom. With heart of oak she has unflinchingly met every assault, parred every blow, and true to her traditions i3 destined to win the last batCe. England probably understands us better than we understand her at present, but we should get along wonderfully well together when peace, finally comes. I.afarette Journal.

WE GOT ONE TOO, AND WONDERED. This paper acknowledges the receipt of the following letter: DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF EDUCATION Washington. Sept. 25, 19 IS. Tntersfa'e Letter to Newspaper Editors. Subject: Liberty Day Celebrations. We are sending you herewith a copy of the Liberty Day bulletin which the National Liberty Loan committee asked the Bureau of Education to prepare. The anniversary of the discovery of America is a rotable day in our history a'td its celebration i:iis jear will have a special meaning for the great struggle in which we are engaged and greatly stitrulate the Fourth' Liberty loan. For this reason the president has issued this proclamation. The bulletin contains all the information you need and you are free to publish any part of it. Because of the great importance of the day, will you kindly give It publicity in your news and editorial columns as early and as often as possible. Will you send us clippines of any articles you publish? Sincerelv Yours. P. P." CLAXTON", Commissioner. Two of these letters reached this office, one ad dressed to the editor of the Sentin'el and one to the edi tor of the News. One was delivered Tuesday afternoon, October 14, and the other Wednesday morning, October 15. Each was enclosed in a large, heavy envelope of the treasury department, marked "official business" and with instructions to return after five days. In each envelope there was besides the letter of Mr, Claxton a very attractive booklet in the national colors, containing matter designed 10 be presented to the pub lie through the newspapers in order to stimulate th" celebration of Columbus day by various communities over the country. Besides these programs there whs other in-

One of the most successful educators in the city of New York is Angelo Patri. born in an Italian village and now principal of a large public school and one of the leading exponents of the idea of making the school house serve as a community center and club. Mr. Patri was born in Italy in lSfi, in a village "at the foot of a gray black mountain, with a desolate haunted castle on Its side." He came to America in the early eighties and lived with hi? father and mother for five years in the Italian colony. Until they moved- out of this colony the boy did not begin to leain English. At ten years of age he started to an American school, where he worked tirelessly. When he graduated, at the age of fifteen, he had to help fill the family purse, and so he got a job as errand boy in a wine house. He polished the piate and washed the bottles and glasses on the long dusty shelves. But he studied iti the evenings. He brought home his three dollars a week. Everv Saturday he and his father talked about the possibility of going to college. At last he was able to go to the College of the City of New York, where he got his books and tuition free. In 1837 he graduated as an A. B. In order to earn money at once, he started teacntng. And he found, as he worked, ihat it was the profession of all others for him. He had ideas about enriching and

I widening the influence of the school which, in time, he

had an opportunity to test. In lf'Ofi he was made principal of public school No. 4 in the Broux, with 3,000 pupils under hie charge. He began to conceive the school as the heart of the community in American life. Today the school of which he is principal is not a cold, imposing edifice of brick, lyi-.ig sombrely silent for most of the hours of a day. Ii has become a bu-iy meeting place from which the brimming vitality of many interests radiates; coloring the lives of the c!ii;c:-, gu;dinc .them, making them feel the alue and joy of social life, and penetrating into their homes.

The many friends of Donald Spurrier, son of Mr. and Mi.. AW G. Spurrier, Oliver street. AVhitlns, will be pleased to hear that he has qualified for flyinR after six hours instruction. He graduated at Dunwoody Institute at Minneapolis. Minn, ground school for naval aviation and was one of three, nut of a class of twenty-five to receive 100 in three different subjects.

Hammond, and was ordained to the priesthood a year ajco. bavins; said his first Mass in All Saints' church. He made his home in Hammond, prior to bis ordination and was a graduate of All Saints" s-rheol, ha vine completed his studies at St. Mary's college, Cincinnati, Ohio. Eieut. Dufrane will leave within the next few days to take up bis duties and expects to be stationed at the Giet I-akes Training Station for a short period.
