ENGLISH TO
WORLD LANGUAGE
Subject Arouses Considerable
Discussion Among French
men of Learning.
FRENCH IS SECONi CHOICE
Germans, Knowing Their Language
Was inadequate as World Tongue,

By LLOYD ALLEN.
(Western Newspaper Union Staff Cor
, respondent.)
Paris. —It’s beginning to look as If
English will be the world language
of the future —with French as a close
second choice and with German run
ning a poor third.
This dtecussion of a “world lan
guage” which is occupying consider
able attention around Paris, reveals
among other things a strange chapter
of German duplicity and trickery. It
now seems certain that the Germans,
knowing the German language was in
adequate as a world tongue, tried their
best to get the world to think favora
bly of certain “cooked-up” languages—
made to order things as it were, in or
der to prevent French from
being considered as the legitimate
vrerll V ngq.iges.
These artificial tongues, such as Es
peranto. whicfi was probably the best
known to them. In America at least,
were fairly numerous and each one
was given sonic sort of an odd name.
They were called Esperanto, Ido, Novo-
Latin and several other queer-sound
names. Naturally enough there were
few ir, nearly every country
that took up these tongues and learn
ed them. But at best the languages
were, and are fads, and arS unequal
to the great task assigned theni —the
task of becoming a world tongue.
An international Language.
Paul Mieilld, a French scholar, a col
lege professor who holds the chair of
English at the Lycee and who is a well
known promoter of international edu
cation. is authority for the foregoing
remarks anent Esperanto and Ger
man. His brochure on the sub
ject of a world language has attracted
considerable attention in France and
England recently.
While some political economists are
talking about the establishment of an
international currency that will be
worth its face value all over the world,
and while others are talking of a kind
of international will

Acknowledging that English is bound
to be the favorite the French profes
sors claim their own language will nat
urally take second place in preference
to German.
Possibly the Germans some years
