 Ne'ghbors, Dr. George w. Tupper Urges Members of Commonw edith Cub

It Is not known positively in New Britain what the Dr." represents be- fore the name of pr. George William 7Tupper of Boston. But it is known positively that he is doctor of sociological ailments and ills. His prescription for the cure of these national weaknesses was given last night in this city when he delivered a highly interesting address before the members of the Commonwealth club in the Y. w. c. A. banquet hall. The address was illuminative and in- structive. It made the audience CO., g1tate on matters many knew all the time but which they had probably not given serious thought
 In a city such as New Britain is. Dr. Tupper's talk was timely and ap- propr1ate. It was a shocker to awak- en the better side of man. There are many native born residents of New Britain who would probably not be- teve 1t if they were told how many aliens are living here. It was for the especial benefit of such as these that Dr. Tupper's prescriptions are com pounded. In two words, his mes sage Is Wake Up,' Give the alien chance. Educate him to the Eng nsh language and customs. In fine. snake an American out of him.
 Presldent William F. Brooks of tne commonwealth club presided at the meeting, which was preceded by supper. Musical selections were

 Dr. Tupper's address follows:
 Geography Still Unsettled.
 The geography of the new Amer lcan movement is still hay and un settled. The most ardent patriot has not yet determined it's poles, latitude and longitude. Those who believe most i'll its existence disagree most concerning it's origin, its development and it's goal
 This haze, however. in no way dis credits. the facts We are in the dawn of.a new American day. Our naional hopes are gradually taking definite form. Our objectives are becoming clarified. Our destiny is slowly emerging from the mists of the past. We are seeing men as trees walking. we are beginning to feel the thrill of great national life-its necessity. its mission and power.
 The meaning of this new Ameri- cain movement is somewhat interpret ed by our changed attitude toward 1 Fundamental social problems Seven- ty-dve years ago, thoughtful visitors from the Old World to the United States, were impressed with our na- uonal satisfaction concerning social conditions. At that time the shadows Of the great civic strife had hardly be- slsn to dim the splendor of our hard won independence. Within the mem ory of many still rung the echoes of such stately declarations as 'thej equality Of men and inalienable rights Through tongue and gesture, pen and deed, the spread eagleism of 1 this period announced that God is in his heavens and all is right with the United States of America
 Inequalities of Today.
 To-day Old World visitors listen to a very different refrain. Our politi- cal platforms, the shrill cry of re- formers, the rumblings of social dis 1 content, all hint at inequalities of l

 NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-United States Attorney Ii. Snowden Marshall, in statement issued late today declared he has information which convinces him tha- the organization known as Labor's National Peace Council was financed by Franz von Rintelen, now held a British prisoner, through David Lamar to stir up strikes in factories engaged in manufacturing munitions.
 Mir. MarshalTs statement followed the announcement that C. H. Canode, printer of the council, and William F.. Kramer of the International Brother hood of Blacksmiths and an official of the council had been subpoenaed to come to this city from Chicago to tes- tify before the grand jury. in an in VestiSatiOn of the orga nization.
 The statement of the United States attorney follows.

I do not. at present. wish to mention the location of any of the plants where these strikes were insti- gated.
 Tn each case where a strike was purchased, there was considerable op- position to the strike among portions | 1,l of strikes that are bought. The activities of this organization came to the notice of Mir. Gompers Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor) who absolutely disapproved of the plan they were carrying out. I do not at present wish to mention the names of any of the officers of the orga nization who are shown to have been concerned in these transactions.
