in excess of all cost Of maintenance The
citizens of the United States do not bear
one cent of the expense of this govern
ment agency. 1t is all borne by the for
eigner, who applies for citizenship. In
other words, from the So paid by each
foreigner for good administration OF
the naturalization law, all of the
expenses of the naturalization of over
100000 annually are paid, and over So
600, on an average, is turned into Uncle
Sans pocket book every year.
The activities of the bureau Of nat
uraliza tion show how routine govern
mental agency has been transformed into
a great humanizing force. This has been
accomplished by linking together those
important agencies, the federal and state
courts, the federal government and the
state public schools. The work OF this
bureau now stands for more than natur-
alization, as the term is generally an
lerstood. 1t represents Americanization
in its truest sense. II cordially welcomes
and brings into the national family for
eign friends fully qualified through pub
lie school instructions, for the proud title

Liquor Clause Hitched to
Postal Bill Passes in
House
PROHIBITION LEADER
OPPOSES MEASURE
Apparently Fears That 1t
Goes Too Far-Vote
Was 206 to 81

Washington, Feb. %. Supporters Of
the Reed ''bone dry" amendment to the
postal bill won the first round of the
wet and dry fight in the House yester-
day, when proposed amendment by
Representative Saunders OF Virginia,
which would have nullified the Reed
proposal, was defeated, 200 to 81, De-
feat of the proposal was greeted with
wild cheering, hand clapping and cries
of "bone dry! bone dry"
Representative Webb of North Caro-
lima, father of the nationwide prohibit
ton resolution, voted for the Saunders
proposal. The Saunders amendment
would have made the Reed amendment
apply only in states that are now bone
dry" In effect then, this would not
change the present situation in any
state. Some members who favor prohi-
bition have opposed the resolution be-
cause they feared its passage would
really be setback to the dry cause.
Others opposed to prohibition, were ex'
pected to support the measure
In addition to making absolutely dry
about score OF states which now forbid
the manufacture or sale of liquor, but
permit its Importation for personal use,
the Senate amendment would bar liquor
advertisements from the mails in states
where such advertising is prohibited.

GREAT EDUCATIONAL DESIRE.
Is Prompting Hundreds of Thousands to
Attend Night School.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 22.-There is
great Americanization drive on all over
the country. Hundreds of thousands of
| the adult foreign born of the United
States, who are candidates for citizen
ship, are attending public night school
this winter in large numbers and over a
broader territory than ever before. The
reason is their desire to learn the English
| language and obtain a knowledge of
American institutions and government
so that they may be qualified to enjoy
the privileges as well as assume the
duties and responsibilities of citizenship
when acquired.
The public school authorities OF APP
proximately ! 400 cities and town in
every state in the union, working in
close -peration with the bureau OF
naturalization OF the L. $. department
of labor are now maintaining night
schools for the benefit OF their adult
born residents. The number of schools
and the attendance have grown far be-
yond the expectations of the most OPP
timistic and this patriotic movement is
now generally regarded as one of the
great saving forces of American nation
al life.
This surprising growth has been due
to series of mass meetings, proposed
by the bureau of naturalization, for the
purpose of stimulating the interest of
the candidates for citizenship in the citi-
zenship classes conducted in the public
schools throughout the United States.
These meetings have been arranged by
the public schools. chambers of commerce.
municipal officials and various organizs-
lions and have had the cordial support
of applicants for citizenship, the local
resident foreign body and leaders of the
various racial associations. The results
have been far--reaching. Candidates for
now know that they have a
real friend in the federal government
and that their exploitation for pecuniary /
or political benefit is a thing OF the /
past.
In addition to this, discussions at these I
meetings focused the attention of pow
crful commercial, labor and patriotic 1
throughout the country .on |
the vital Importance of alien instruction
and closer federal supervision of the nat

in the resolution they have forwarded
to members of the United States Senate

the use of all fees received by the gov
eminent in naturalization matters for
the education OF the alien population of
the country. These resolutions closely

MORE ARRESTS
PENDING IN
GERMAN PLOT
Six American Newspaper Men Are to
Be Taken on Spying
Charges.

New York, Feb 22.--Six additional
American newspaper men are expected to
be arrested within another week in con-
nection with the German spy plot, the
uncovering of which has already resulted
in the detention of George Vaux Bacon
in England, and the arrest of Charles w.
Wunnenberg and Albert A. Sander in
New York
Information from England to the au-
thorities here is that the British officials
are not inclined to treat the Americans
in the plot as spies, if they will tell all
they know. Bacon is to be brought back
to this country as a government witness.
The presidents address, as it is now
tentatively planned and barring any un
expected events between now and the
time he goes to the capitol, viii contain
the information that he contemplated no
drastic action without further consulting
Congress.
No change of policy regarding armed
ships has been announced. 1t could not
be learned here whether the American
line yesterday, in dispatching one of its
liners-the ngolia--linarmed into the
barred zone. acted with any assurances
from this government. The abandoning
of the St. Louis sailing led to belief here
that that vessel, one of the finest in the
country's marine service, might be need
ed later for naval purposes.
On the heels of the sinking of the Dial
beattie. with two Americans on board,
there was general tightening OF tension
all along the line yesterday as the real
danger again shifted from collateral is
