His message, made public as a part of the American war correspondence released today by the state department, is characterized in diplomatic circles here as the most prophetic in the entire feverish exchange of telegrams and cables between the world capitals in the dizzy confusion immediately preceding the outbreak of hostilities. The document makes public for the first time the' unabridged story of this government's coming aware of the World war situation and its late and feeble effort to stem the onrushlng tide of chaos and disaster. The hazy grasp of the world situation displayed by the American state department is regarded by diplomatic observers here as among the most interesting revelations of the correspondence from the historical viewpoint.

This was Butch McDevitt who spent his "million" in a day so that he could say he lived the life of "Riley" and had everything that money could buy which lasted (the million) just one day.

This goes to show that a town or city is known by what the people in it do. "As the people change, so does the universe upon which they live. Our sole idea should be that our work is to blaze a trail, with outstanding guiding marks of accomplishment, to guide the coming generations. This will make our community a better place to live in and which will benefit all. Building for others should be a pleasure for us and not a task because we should reap joy in the fact that we are helping our fellow man.

Everything some men take home is in their stomach and have nothing to offer their wife and children while other men take everything home in packages which they can lay before their wife and children and reap more joy, from the fact that the children are happy, than money could buy. It is said that nature provides for him who provides for himself and only the man who works and perserves will reap. Last year, just before Christmas, Uncle Sam had 17,000 sacks of mail to be delivered to the Northwest. He worked night and day to deliver It took 19 cars to haul the mail but it was delivered in time. This is ser vice to the individual, showing how other people work for you and yet some neonle do not like it if a cor- ner of an envelope is torn off.

He was educated in St. Stanislaus schools which he left early in life to pursue the usual occupation cf boys in the coal region.

As he grew older he left the beaV-er and for a time worked about the Luke Fidler colliery. Dissatisfied with work about the mines he earned the batcher trade and for some time was encaged by Berent in Springfield. For the last twenty years he has been associated with Wally Socko-loskie of 152 South Pearl street engaged in the grocery and butcher business. At present his chief occupation is that of huckster, his route taking h'm anywhere from Hickory Ridge to the lower confines of Irish Valley. August 29, 1927 the honorable court of Northumberland county appointed him director, to fill a vacancy then existing upon the Coal Township school board.

His absolute fairness won him the friendship and esteem of his fellow directors as a result of which he holds the honorable position of president of tne board. shipping of goods Interest charges accumulate for the buyer and thus expects Uncle Sam to rush the goods in order to save him money. The time taken now for such shipments will be lessened in a few years ty tne introduction of airplanes that will carry more than a Pullman Coach. "To have your arguments effective you must send propaganda first to act as an introduction. During the past wars the general was thought of as being a heroric figure standing in front of his army and encourag ing them forward.

Today the gen erals set in the rear about eight miles and prepares orders to be fol lowed out. This is known as strategy. The general or generals decide on a zero hour. This hour is the hour in which all thinking has been completed and time for action has come. When the hour arrives men leave the trencnes and advance according so plans that were made hours before.

It is claimed that this mode of warfare, does away with many unnecessary deaths. No man precedes his fellowman and they work with clocklike precision. They are preceeded by what is known as a barrage that is shelling, gas bombs and airplane bombing. By doing this, greater effectiveness is produced which shows the value of thinking ahead. "It is well known that the Englishman is a far-seeing individual.

When trouble arose in China, the 'English government immediately sent tneir snips tnere, presented the line of barrage and was able to rescue the white people who were there at that time and also protect their interests there. Propaganda is the best kind of barrage. At the present time Lin-uy is our best propagandist in that he is preparing the air for us as well as advertising the progress of our nation. Chamberlin showed his modesty by not forgetting his mate when praised about his trip across the ocean. Lindy divides his honor as saying "We." These men think for us and get pleasure from it and therefore it is up to us to do the same.

"When a man owned property a few years ago he owned everything from the center of earth up but today this has changed in that coal is being dug from under us and airplanes fly over us. This is an age in which the mode of thought must, be changed in order to be up with the times and the younger generation. We should be up and doing always. In the present session of Congress, more signatures against the enlargement of our navy were made than any others. It was thought that best interests of our country were being properly taken care of.

The best interests of my country on land and sea will always be my aim. We should all be willing learners and teach those who need teaching. We should have a navy large enough to take care of our interests and people when needed. A navy the world will respect not through might nor power but by doing what is right. We must develop our own natural resources.

We must not exploit but assist those who need it.

This course covers an ancient language latin, and two modern languages, Spanish and German. The study of a language will add to one's vocabulary; it will help one to appreciate literature, it will help an exact understanding of many words and their precise meanings.

The Latin language is the langu- ageof Ancient Rome. It has attained the rank of a literary language. In studying Latin we learn the customs of the Romans, their characteristics and their ideas of beauty and art. I The grammar is the basic part of any language. As beginners we learn verb forms, sentence forms, deriva tions, structure and other grammati cal foundations.

The writings of Var- ro, Cicero, Lucretuis, Caesar, Catullus. Sallust, Vergil, Horace, Propertnis, Tibullus, Ovid and Livy lend luster to the Latin language and exhibit it In the its fullest maturity and its most perfect stage. Of these Caesar, Cicero and Vergil are studied in the high school. The Spanish language is a Romanic language, spoken in Spain and carried by colonists from Spain, into Philippine Islands, Mexico, portions of the United States, Central America, South where the Jews settled after their ex- America and a few other daces. pulsion from Spain in fourteen hun dred and ninety-two.

The students of Spanish learn of the habits and customs of the people through the stories which are translated from the orginal into English. Descriptions of the country and of the famous places in Spain and oth er Spanish countries are also found in the Spanish compositions. The German language in ceneral includes high and low German. Ger man is spoken in many countries of turope besides Germany. Outside of Europe the largest number of Germans is found in the United States wnose German born population a-mounted in nineteen hundred and ten to two million, five hundred and one thousand thre hundred and eighty-three.

German is nowadays spoken by about 80,000,000 people. Germany has an orthographical nroblem of hpr own, although a less complicated one than England and America.
