s PtATTSMOtTTH Ill' I ! Bt, GEN. WOOD IS . FOR BUT ONE LANGUAGE SAYS NOTHING BUT ENGLISH SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN PUB LIC SCHOOLS: DECLARES ' WAR NOT YET CLOSED. Omaha. April 1. "Nationalism against internationalism," "every body's business is nobody's busi ness," and "verbal massage is no remedy for the evil influences which threaten the world today," are Eome of the phrases used by Gen eral Ieonard Wood in his address yesterday before the University club. General Wood did not call Pres ident Wilson's name, but he did de clare that the results of the peace conference in Paris should have no effect on the performance of the plain duty of the American citizen t home. He advocated a more in tense Americanism, and sounded a warning against the spirit of bol fhevism. He voiced with emphasis the Fentiments frequently expressed by the late Theodore Roosevelt in public addresses, and he spoke them in the Roosevelt style to such an ex tent that many persons who heard them commented on the similarity. Age of Reason. "We have passed the stage of physical courage." he said, "and the victory is ours. This is the age of reason courage. Failure now." he said in urging support of the vic tory loan drive," would brand our enthusiasm as being of the emotion al type." He spoke in glowing terms of the Eighty-ninth division and the -part it took in bringing victory to the al lied cause. "This division was made up of your own brave boys, to gether with the farmers from your neighboring states." he said. "You have much to be proud of in these soldiers, because their glory is sec ond to that of no other division." General Wood spoke for "one flag and one language." and advocated particularly that no other language but English be allowed in the pub lic schools. He spoke for preparedness and de clared the war had not yet come to a close. "It is the plain duty of the American nation to continue to pre pare and get ready to take its part in any crisis of the world's history." he said. "Had we been prepared in 1913 the kaist-r never would have made war." he said. "If peace is worth having it is worth fighting for. All Europe is tottering on the verge of another war, and it is up to this country to be prepared to as sume its responsibility at any time." Care of Soldiers. General Wood asserted that about 5 per cent of the returning soldiers were irrational and wanted to make trouble. These men were unbal anced, he said, and must be taken care of. He said in order to combat the wave of bolshevism, which is sweeping the world, these men should be sent home or given work. "It is worth while that we take care of them." he said. "There is a thin veil between good order and revolu tion, and it is imperative that we stand together against the evil influ ence which threatens." General Wood declared he would refrain from discussing the league of nations, asserting that the war was not over and the difficult part of the struggle was yet ahead.
