LATIN NAT ONS TO
FGHTPROPAGANDA
The State Department and Latin
American diplomatic corps Have be
fore them for consideration today the
suggestion of John Barrett, director
of the Pan-American advisory council
to combat German propaganda In the
Western Hemisphere and co-ordinate
the war &lm of the American re
publics. It Is proposed by Mr. Barrett that
a small group of men In the United
States familiar with Latin-American
conditions be formed. The power of
appointing such a council would lie
with President Wilson, hut the Presl.
dent would act on the recommenda
tion of the State Department. The
wishes of Latin-America's diplomatic
corps would be considered, to avoid
any conflict with Pan-'Amerlcanlsm or
the activities of the Pan-American
Union.
Feints Oat Ifeed.
"There Is Immediate need of co-ordinating
and extending co-operation
of effort between the United States
and these twelve countries," Mr. Bar.
reti said1 In a formal statement "to
combat the vicious German propagan
da which Is every day growing bolder
and more desperate," .......
Th. twelve countries to which Mr.
Barrett refers are BrarlL Cuba, and
Panama, which have actually de
clared war. and the Dominican Re
public, Haiti. Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru. Bolivia,
and Uruguay, which have broken re
lations with Germany. Eight others

SITUATION
FOR DEATH DRUGS
0NLY6ATG.W.U.STUDY
"DEADEST LANGUAGE"
The dead languages have no attrac
tion for the students of George Wash
ington University. Greek, the deadest
of the dead languages taught at the
university. Is almost burled.
Nearly 2U300 students are enrolled
at the university, but of this number
only six this year are studying Greek.
University officials, however, are op-
tlmletlc, for this number Is six times
as large as that for last year. Last
year Greek at the university was
studied by one lone .student..
The lack of Interest fn the dead
language la more than compensated
for, however, by the Increased In
terest In the modern 'languages, par
ticularly the romance languages. Sev
eral hundred students are studying
French and Spanish this year, the en
rollment being the largest In the his
tory of the university, according to
Prof. George N. Hennlng, head of the
department of romance languages.
K.C. WAR CAMP FUND

sausnea wim the progress made, says
that It will have to go faster. It was
hoped to be able to finish up the
campaign by the end of the week,
but it wil be necessary to extend It
until Thanksgiving. No totals have
been compiled as yet. but It Is esti
mated that about 17,000 has been col
lected by the various teams.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23. Hopeless and
helpless sufferers are seeking deliver
ance from a man who has defied the
commandment, "Thou Shalt not UIL"
This man Is Dr. Harry J. Halselden,
of Chicago, who has attained Interna
tional fame through his advocacy of
euthanasia painless killing of mental
and physical defectives through ad
ministration of drugs. He put his
Ideas into execution In the Baby Bol
linger and Baby Hodzlma cases. The
former died: the' latter has been tem
porarily withdrawn from the doctor's
treatment because Its parents were
frightened by death threats.
But the theories of Dr. Halselden
have spread throughout the nation,
and hundreds of persons suffering
from Incurable diseases or stricken
with poverty have appealed to him
for relief from their misery. Scores
of such letters are being received by
the doctor dally, be said today.
The' "relief" they seek is In all
cases the same death.
Here Is a letter from an aged Phila
delphia womanr
"I read In a paper of your wonder
ful God given drugs wnlca relieve
pain and remove the horrors of death.
I have suffered so much for years that
I have wondered what a blessing It
would be to be put out of my misery.
rra only a burden to my friends."

of the 8,000 clerks In the War De
partment was the plan announced to

aa a means of promoting a spirit of
friendship, and at the same time giv
ing a night of genuine pleasure.

entertainment features and Inviting
clerks from other departments.

In the Face of Russian Anztrchy
and Italian Reverses
Germany tpHI be defeated by France, Great' Brltain,and the United States, and at the last
the lion's share-.of the task will .belong to the United States. This opinion, advanced byany
competent observers since Russia's lapse into' anarchy and Italy's staggering reverses, is ac- '

have drawn the sword ana we might as well throw away the scabbard," exclaims the Chicago
Herald; "for Jt is to be a fight to a finish and German successes in Russia and Italy indicate
that the struggle may be prqlonged."
The only .German drive that the Allies have reasonreally to fear, many of our papers de

From the steaming jungles of Senegal, the fertile

gratitude for the opportunity afforded by this most
comprehensive of news-recorders of keeping posted
on all the great events of the day. Other letters tell

camp in touch with the world's affairs and how it is
passed eagerly from hand to hand by the "Tommies"
and "Sammies" in the trenches on the Somme.
