CHt'Rffll PENSION FUND. Episcopal Church Raises Greatest Fund for charitable Foundation Ever (inthcred in America. New York, Oct. 7..Final returns, just completed and sent to J. P. Mor¬ gan, treasurer of the $5,000,000 pen¬ sion fund lor the support of retired Episcopal clergymen, show that the fund was oversubscribed nearly 7- per cent., total subscriptions amount¬ ing to $1,712.000. Of this $5,164,153 has already been paid. Alabama contributed $ 1 r». i* 8 H; North Carolina, $G5,848; South Caro¬ lina, $20,510; Georgia, $47,703, and Florida, $25.451. The Church Pension Fund is the largest of the kind ever raised, and. next to the Red Cross Hundred Mil¬ lion Dollar Fund, the largest chari¬ table fund ever gathered in America Off any one purpose. It took just a vear to do it. While .'Ivo million dol¬ lars was the goal originally set, it was announced from time to time that an oversubscription was desired in or¬ der to give the fund the .soundest backing possible. The campaign for raising the Pen¬ sion Fund, conducted under the di¬ rection of Bishop William L/twrcnco. of Massachusetts, ended February 28. The next day the pension plan was out into operation with Bishop Law¬ rence as president of the fund. At the present time pensions amounting tV) 203,000 annually are being paid, .some to aged and disabled clergy, some to widows, and others to or¬ phan minors. In all there were 47.713 subscrip¬ tions to the fund whose names are ac¬ tually on the books of the fund. Yet It Is estimated that many hundreds of thousands of persons actually faVOi as In numerous Instances an en¬ tire congregation's gift was entered as one subscription while no record was kept of the individual contributor! of tin- $1,011,110 which was received in cash. There were it.:«74 gifts of less than floo and these donations make up about 10 per cent. of the entire i und« Of all the dioeeses. New York city contributed the largest sum, $2.- 111,591. The States of New York and New Jersey cave $3,581,364, New Bngland gave $1,112,768, Pennsylvania, Dei- aware. Maryland. Virginia and the District of Columbia gave $2,115,934. Mahuma.

LOOK TO PRESIDENT FOD SUP- 1 PLY FOR SOUTH. Senator Tillmnn Urges Those Interest¬ ed in Farm Fertilizer to Write to I Wilson. Trenton, Oct. 7..The question of obtaining nitrate of soda next year is one in which the farmers of the Stato are very much interested at this time, and knowing that Senator Till- rnan was instrumental in having an! amendment to the pure food bill re- Utting to nitrate of soda passed, he i was asked as to the siuation this1 morning. He said: "The farmers of the South are al¬ most compelled to have nitrate of soda if they are to grow food to feed the soldiers and realizing the need, I succeeded in getting an amendment to the pure food bill, after Senator Smith originated the idea, authorizing the president to buy nitrate of soda In Chile, bring it here and sell it to the farmers at cost, for cash. Ten million dollars was appropriated for this pur-1 pose. Although Mrs. Till man was ill, end we wanted to leave Washington, we remained there four days in order for me to see the president and urge upon him the necessity of getting the soda. The president was thoroughly in sympathy with the proposition and stated he would do all he could to relieve the situation, but impressed on n.e the scarcity of ships in which to haul it and stated that would be the only thing which would prevent it being done. I have asked a great many r^opl° to write him on the sub¬ ject and it would be a good idea for as many of our people as will to do the same thing and impress on hlni the need of the soda for the crop ncx: year. The more letters the better. Since I left Washington I have notice I that Senator Smith and several repre¬ sentatives have been pushing the mat¬ ter with the secretary of agric ulture and I believe some means will be pro¬ vided by which we can get the soda." Senator Tillman Is delighted at the recent rise In cotton and cotton sect and Is still holding both, as he believes the end is not yet in sight. The Duty of German-Americans to Germany. (By Gustavus Ohlingcr of The Vigil¬ antes.) "To speak German Is to remain German; to cause others to speak Ger¬ man is to make them into Germans." In this- way Ludwig Fulda, one of the most prominent of modern Ger¬ man playwrights and journalists sum¬ marized his observations in the Unit¬ ed States. That he was giving expres¬ sion to more than merely personal opinion is evidenced by the stern measures adopted by Germany for the purpose of establishing the use of Ger¬ man in the Polish provinces and In Alsace.by the decrees which forbade French even on signs and on tomb¬ stones and the orders making it a crime to impart religious instruction in the Polish tongue. The propaganda for the German language has always been a well- recognized phase of imperial Kultur¬ politik. It was regarded as an im¬ portant means for establishng Ger¬ man influence in foreign lands, for un¬ dermining national unity, and for keeping German immigrants in solid blocks which could be used as con¬ venient make-weights in favor of (Herman policies. As one of the lead¬ ers in the Pan-German movement ex¬ pressed it years ago, "the Importance of Germany in the future will de¬ pend on two things.first, the number of persons who are politically subject to the empire, and, second, the num¬ ber of those throughout the world who speaks the German language." That the Kaiser's sympathisers In the United States have taken this course to heart is borne out by tin vigorous efforts which have been made to establish the German lan¬ guage in our public schools ever sine, the Pan-German idea came to active consciousness here sonn1 twenty year ago. During this period the num¬ ber of high school pupill taking in¬ struction in German has risen from »8,000 to 312,000. ESven more mark¬ ed has been the increase In this direc- 11 .. Oklahoma, and New Mexico gave $91,- Ml. Oregon, California. Idaho. Arizona. IHah, Washington, Nevada. Alaska, and the Philippine Islands gave $255 ?;<>7. The largest contribution, $324,744, was made by the Carnegie Corpora¬ tion. Two persons gave $250,000 each. Nine gave $100,000 each, twelve subscribed $50,000 each. Iwen ty-nlne $25,0000 each, llfty-four gave $10,01.ach, l'l'I gave $5,000 and 764 subscribed $1,000. 4 Trw****" THE TRUE r. COTUTT KEF PÜT. DECLARES MONROE DOCTRINE IS BECOMING SERIOUS LIMITA¬ TION UPOM EUROPEAN ACTION. _ Fx-President Taft Principal Speaker at Unvcfllng of Shaft to McKinley.! Nil^s, c>hio, Oct. 3.."We could not keep cut of world politics if we would, That which affects the world affects jy. The Monroe doctrine is becoming I more serious limitation upon Euro¬ pean action than ever before." This was the declaration of form¬ er President Taft in the principal ipeech here today, at the dedication of the bis marble memorial building an 1 monument erected br> the memory of the late President William McKinle/. v» ho was born here. Ohio's martyred president was given credit by Ohio's living ex-presi¬ dent, for I cing the man who saw most clearly when ethers were blind to it, the real position of the United States in the world. "Were McKinley .'dive today," said Mr. Taft, "how his patriotic heart, his broad vision and his Vibrant words would be united In supporting the government In its constructive meas¬ ures to carry on the great world struggle to victory. "With what drawees he would re¬ ject all propositions to compromise by proposal of a patched up peace. He would not fail to too that in the preocit Issue no peace is possible un¬ til secured by victory that no solu¬ tion Is worthy of our history but a defeat of militarism." Mr. Taft declared that it is better to tight Germany in company with the al'ies than to fight her alone later. He insisted that had we been able to stay out of the war, we would have found ourselves in continued friction with Germany "until she thought the opportunity had come for her to strike." Miss Helen McKinley, sister of the martyred president, unveiled the twelve-foot statute of President Mc¬ Kinley, which is set in the court of the memorial building. The dedicatory exercises were in charge of the G. A. R. tion in the grade schools. Now that the events of the last few monthfl have taught Americans to look lipon this apparently innocent educa¬ tional movement in the same light in which it has always been held by Germans both here and in Germany, it is small wonder that they Will have none of it. German language instruc¬ tion has been abolished in all the grade schools of Toledo; in Cleveland it has been eliminated from the first four grades; in Baltimore from all the grades; in Milwaukee American chil¬ dren will no longer have the advan¬ tage of a bi-lingual education in the tirst and second grades, and even Chi¬ cago has torn from its .-pelling books the nauseous adulation of the Kaiser which the exponents of Pan-German policies had caused to be inserted. That this aversion for everything German will be intensified with time i.s inevitable. The danger is that it will attach to much that is admirable and that we could adopt with advan¬ tage. Our civilization will thereby be made the poorer. One of the great tragedies of the war is that the evil ambtion of .he Hohetisollerns has hud its foul hands upon the sacred heri¬ tage of the German people and im¬ pregnated it with the poison of its con¬ tact, so that for centuries it will pro¬ voke the loathing of the world. These consequences can in some de¬ gree he averted by c ur citizens of German birth. It rests with them to prove to us and to the world that a wide chasm separates the Germany oi Bchiler, Goethe and Leasing from the monster state created by the Hohen- SOllerni and their servants; that the genius that peopled the woods and dales with the fairies of childhood has nothing in common with the demon that ravaged Belgium, Frame and Poland; that the German spirit Is in- ded free and not sunk in hopeless servility to Unworthy masters. Ru< not by lukewarm allegiance to 0U1 country, not by half-hearted support of our cause, not by carping criticism of things American, not by secret grat¬ ification Over the reverses Of our allies can they bring this about.

The story of American liberty, from its foundations In Magno Carts to the present! line, must displace all these is the subject of their propaganda; everything that will contribute to our overwhelming victory must he the ob¬ ject of their nctvlty.

FARMERS HEED SODA.LOOK TO PRESIDENT FOD SUP- 1
PLY FOR SOUTH.
Senator Tillmnn Urges Those Interest¬ed in Farm Fertilizer to Write to IWilson.
Trenton, Oct. 7..The question ofobtaining nitrate of soda next year isone in which the farmers of the Statoare very much interested at thistime, and knowing that Senator Till-rnan was instrumental in having an!amendment to the pure food bill re-
Utting to nitrate of soda passed, he iwas asked as to the siuation this1morning. He said:"The farmers of the South are al¬
most compelled to have nitrate ofsoda if they are to grow food to feedthe soldiers and realizing the need, Isucceeded in getting an amendment tothe pure food bill, after Senator Smithoriginated the idea, authorizing thepresident to buy nitrate of soda InChile, bring it here and sell it to thefarmers at cost, for cash. Ten milliondollars was appropriated for this pur-1pose. Although Mrs. Tillman was ill,end we wanted to leave Washington,we remained there four days in orderfor me to see the president and urgeupon him the necessity of getting thesoda. The president was thoroughly insympathy with the proposition andstated he would do all he could to
relieve the situation, but impressed onn.e the scarcity of ships in which tohaul it and stated that would be theonly thing which would prevent itbeing done. I have asked a greatmany r^opl° to write him on the sub¬ject and it would be a good idea foras many of our people as will to dothe same thing and impress on hlnithe need of the soda for the crop ncx:
year. The more letters the better.Since I left Washington I have notice Ithat Senator Smith and several repre¬sentatives have been pushing the mat¬ter with the secretary of agric ultureand I believe some means will be pro¬vided by which we can get the soda."
Senator Tillman Is delighted at therecent rise In cotton and cotton sectand Is still holding both, as he believesthe end is not yet in sight.
The Duty of German-Americans to
Germany.(By Gustavus Ohlingcr of The Vigil¬
antes.)"To speak German Is to remain
German; to cause others to speak Ger¬man is to make them into Germans."
In this- way Ludwig Fulda, one ofthe most prominent of modern Ger¬man playwrights and journalists sum¬marized his observations in the Unit¬ed States. That he was giving expres¬sion to more than merely personalopinion is evidenced by the sternmeasures adopted by Germany for thepurpose of establishing the use of Ger¬man in the Polish provinces and InAlsace.by the decrees which forbadeFrench even on signs and on tomb¬stones and the orders making it acrime to impart religious instructionin the Polish tongue.The propaganda for the German
language has always been a well-recognized phase of imperial Kultur¬politik. It was regarded as an im¬portant means for establishng Ger¬man influence in foreign lands, for un¬
dermining national unity, and forkeeping German immigrants in solidblocks which could be used as con¬venient make-weights in favor of(Herman policies. As one of the lead¬ers in the Pan-German movement ex¬
pressed it years ago, "the Importanceof Germany in the future will de¬pend on two things.first, the numberof persons who are politically subjectto the empire, and, second, the num¬
ber of those throughout the worldwho speaks the German language."That the Kaiser's sympathisers In
the United States have taken thiscourse to heart is borne out by tinvigorous efforts which have beenmade to establish the German lan¬guage in our public schools ever sine,the Pan-German idea came to activeconsciousness here sonn1 twenty yearago. During this period the num¬ber of high school pupill taking in¬struction in German has risen from»8,000 to 312,000. ESven more mark¬ed has been the increase In this direc-

keep cut of world politics if we would,That which affects the world affectsjy. The Monroe doctrine is becomingI more serious limitation upon Euro¬pean action than ever before."This was the declaration of form¬
er President Taft in the principalipeech here today, at the dedication ofthe bis marble memorial building an 1monument erected br> the memory ofthe late President William McKinle/.v» ho was born here.
Ohio's martyred president was
given credit by Ohio's living ex-presi¬dent, for I cing the man who saw
most clearly when ethers were blindto it, the real position of the UnitedStates in the world."Were McKinley .'dive today," said
Mr. Taft, "how his patriotic heart, hisbroad vision and his Vibrant wordswould be united In supporting thegovernment In its constructive meas¬
ures to carry on the great worldstruggle to victory.
"With what drawees he would re¬
ject all propositions to compromiseby proposal of a patched up peace.He would not fail to too that in thepreocit Issue no peace is possible un¬
til secured by victory that no solu¬tion Is worthy of our history but a
defeat of militarism."Mr. Taft declared that it is better
to tight Germany in company withthe al'ies than to fight her alone later.He insisted that had we been ableto stay out of the war, we would havefound ourselves in continued frictionwith Germany "until she thought theopportunity had come for her tostrike."
Miss Helen McKinley, sister of themartyred president, unveiled thetwelve-foot statute of President Mc¬Kinley, which is set in the court ofthe memorial building. The dedicatoryexercises were in charge of the G. A.R.
tion in the grade schools.Now that the events of the last few
monthfl have taught Americans to looklipon this apparently innocent educa¬tional movement in the same light inwhich it has always been held byGermans both here and in Germany,it is small wonder that they Will havenone of it. German language instruc¬tion has been abolished in all thegrade schools of Toledo; in Clevelandit has been eliminated from the firstfour grades; in Baltimore from all thegrades; in Milwaukee American chil¬dren will no longer have the advan¬tage of a bi-lingual education in thetirst and second grades, and even Chi¬cago has torn from its .-pelling booksthe nauseous adulation of the Kaiserwhich the exponents of Pan-Germanpolicies had caused to be inserted.That this aversion for everything
German will be intensified with timei.s inevitable. The danger is that itwill attach to much that is admirableand that we could adopt with advan¬tage. Our civilization will thereby bemade the poorer. One of the greattragedies of the war is that the evilambtion of .he Hohetisollerns has hudits foul hands upon the sacred heri¬tage of the German people and im¬pregnated it with the poison of its con¬
tact, so that for centuries it will pro¬voke the loathing of the world.These consequences can in some de¬
