Americans that these immigrants, here be-
cause they recognized that this country
offered advantages over the lands OF their
birth, have not been brought also to real
ize that for the benefits obtained they
owed duties and assumed responsibilities.
The right way to begin is to make them
English speakers. All the agencies for this
exist. Their lives will be richer and bet
ter if they are urged, even forced, just
now to take this first step toward ANAL
gamation with the other people of the
country they have chosen TO live in. And
the country will be better off and safer
because of the breaking down Of this
barrier which has prevented these people
from understanding their neighbors and
approaching the full value of what
America is giving to them. So long as
they stay here they should be Americans
they must be Americans. All good
Americans should join in helping them to
become intelligent, loyal citizens, in urg-
ing them to that course, if necessary.

meant was temperance, something very dh'

How 1t Works
A Specific Instance Of the Effect OF
Mrs. Humiston's Allegation

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: When patriotism started TO sweep
this glorious country of ours, back in the
early part of the year, We gladly granted
three members of this organization an in
definite leave Of absence to enter government
tai service. One is at present private IN the
National Guard cantonment at Spartanourg'
another a chief yeoman in the United states
navy somewhere at sea-" and the other d
second lieutenant in the National Army
Camp Upton, Long Island, n. Y. My story
reyolves around this last named.
One of the officers of our company is a
resident Of a small suburb in New Jersey,
and in view Of the fact that he enjoys ten
wear friendship with the lieutenant he e1-
tended an invitation to him to spend Thanks
giving Day at his home, which, of course,
was eraciously accepted. The matter was
then considered closed incident, but the
wife of the aforementioned resident OF the
small New Jersey suburb happened to men
ton al one of tho clubs in the town that
they were having lieutenant from Camp
Upton ut their home for dinner on lhsnks-
giving Day. The remark was not passed In
any manner other than casual; therefore, she
was surprised when one Of the members er-
claimed:
"Ugh, q soldier from Camp Upton! Aren't
you taking considerable chances! Are you
really safe in entertaining a man from that
place, for surely you have heard what hrs.

A Check on Charity Fairs

Though it is locking the door after the
horse was stolen, the passage by the Board
of Aldermen of the ordinance for the licens-
ing of all charity fairs or bazaars, save
those given by churches or fraternities, is
an excellent proceeding, nevertheless. In
the case which demonstrated beyond per-
adventure the necessity for such regula-
ton the prosecuting authorities are busy,
and it is 70 be assumed that whatever pun
ishment is deserved will be handed cut.
But there are fairs and there will be fairs
fer one war charity and another for
months to come, and the public is entitled
to the assurance that the money it con-
tributes will 90 for war relief rather than
for the enrichment of professional man
ayers and advertising and contributions
solicitors. That assurance this ordinance
will give, so far as it can be given by
legislation and official scrutiny of the back
ers and organizers Of any such enterprise.
The evil of the recent scandal is that
inevitably it has affected worthy endeavors
such as Hero Land" the fair now being
held by the League of the Allies. That Is
unfortunate In this case precautions have
been taken to make certain that the receipts
will be honestly handled and devoted to
war purposes. What the public gives will
90 where it is intended to CO. for war relief
and to aid the dependents of American SOL
diers. Devoted men and women are giving
their time to this enterprise, which de-
serves success. It's organizers have sur
rounded it with safeguards of investiga-
ton and publicity regarding its financing.
1t should in no way be confused with its
predecessor, which so signally lacked those
safeguards.
Human nature being what it is, fire.
ouently it is easier to coax money out OF
pockets for some entertainment or social
affair than to obtain straight contributions
for the purpose involved. The fairs, there
fore. may be expected to continue. The
publc's concern Is that they should really
dc the work they undertake to do. With
their managers and organizers subjected
to the scrutiny of the Commissioner OF
Licenses, and financial statements audited
Ly public officials, as the new ordinance
contemplates, there seems slight chance for
repetition of the "get-rich-quick meth
DDS" which the District Attorneys investi-
cation exposed in the one regrettable in
stance, and which doubtless occurred in
others. It is unfortunate that the ordinance
was not passed when it was proposed last

Injustice of Wholesale Restrictions

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard to these wholesale restric-
lions of enemy aliens. We are all against
the enemy alien who is a real enemy. We
should all like to see would-be spies weeded
cut and imprisoned or shot But we don't
want to injure good friends in doing this,
do we?
There are a number Of Germans in this
city who have taken out their first papers
and who are ready and eager to be natural
fzed whenever we'll let them. They came
here to get away from Germany and to make
this their country. They are bringing up
their children to be Americans. They are
puyIng Liberty bonds. They are down Oh
the Kaiser and would like to help in his de-
feat. These men have had to break many
ties to take this stand; they are Stunned BY
pro-Kaiser Germans. Life is going to be
hard for them IL we, too, go and treat them
as enemies. These wholesale restrictions
from high buildings, ETC., will cost some their
positions, and they cannot get new ones
easily because people will not discriminate.
/ submit that We are being pretty harsh to
these future Americans.

Nonsense About Cambria
The Folly Of Sending Masses Of Men
Against a Trench System
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS you say in to-day's issue, there is
a precious lot of nonsense" being written
about the Battle of Cambria Dispatches
from Washington 90 further than "hint that
General Pershing was the inventor of the
Byng idea. A dispatch from Washington Is
authority for the statement that the Gen.
eral Staff Is advising the President to insist
upon radical departure in form Of attack
when we really get into the fight over there.
Said departure is to revert to infantry on
slaughts as the main dependence for sue
cess; big guns to be subordinated to the use
of overwhelming masses of infantry; in
fantry to be supported by guns not bigger
than four inches in calibre.
Such nonsense would be merely nonsense
were it not alarming. Such plans, if true,
are dangerous, and the General staff should
be curbed. The great success Of the Byng
attack at Cambria has encouraged the Cen
eral Staff in its belief that almost sole de-
pendence should be placed upon infantry.
As you have pointed out, the Byng attack
was q surprise attack. And the same sur
prise cannot be sprung every day in the
week. But evidently the General Staff would
outdo some of our inspired editorial writer's
who intend to rush the tanks right on to
Berlin. You have pointed out that heavy
guns can stop the tanks, as they have done
when the enemy was not taken by surprise.
And, as has been pointed out frequently, it
has taken thousands Of tons Of artillery fire
to reduce trenches and to cut way through
barbed wire entanglements SO that the in
fantry could pass through.
How, then, are masses Of infantry, sup
ported in the main merely by small guns,
going to break through Even with heavy
artillery preparation, Germany massed in
fantry attacks at Verdun and elsewhere. And
the German masses were massacTed. Why
emulate useless German sacrifices? Do
the General Staff contemplate Juggling their
"csmoufage ordnance" abroad? Do they
think that they can so scare the Germans
with wooden cannon that our masses Of in
fantry can walk up TO broad bsrbed wire en-
tangements and hurdle them at will! Do
they think that masses Of flesh can accom-
plish that which only masses Of metal, tons

of explosives, squadrons Of tanks have been
able to accomplish? "a wooden horse, q
wooden cannon, wooden machine gun,
dummy hand grenade-such are the tools OF
our army in training" The observer quotes
Glendon Allvine in The Tribune to-day. For
three years the observer has waited in vain
to learn that the War Department had amassed
vast quantities OF heavy ordnance and rifles
to which Mr.. Bryan's million men were to
spring overnight. We have the million men,
all right-and more. But why send them
against the Germans to be swatted down
like flies? Give them chance to sell their
lives dearly. Make Germany pay with the
greater human sacrifice.
The situation may be very serious. II
may be--this is merely surmise-that polit-
zeal delay and bureaucratic inefficiency have
procrastinated until the War Department
now finds that heavy ordnance cannot be
got readv and transported in time. 1t
is fair to surmise--if we are to believe dis
patches from Washington-that the above Is
the reason why the General staff contem-
plate throwing masses of American SOL
diers, practically unsupported, against
deluge Of shells and slaughtering machine
gun fire.
II such plans have emanated from the
General staff the situation is grave. And
The Tribune should add to its list Of patri-
otic performances by instigating . public
Investigation to prevent a horrible blunder.

Making Americans

Declaring that there are in New York
City more than half million adults who
neither read, write nor understand the
English language, the committee on COM
mereial education Of the Chamber Of
Commerce urges the members of that or
ganization to cooperate in the Americana
cation campaign of the Mayors Commit
tee on National Defence. 1t suggests that
employers encourage their workers to at
tend the evening schools; that they offer
better wages and other advantages to
those who viii attend the evening schools;
that they arrange classes in English in
factories and shops; that they hold meet
ings on citizenship at suitable times that
they require the ability to speak English
Of new employees wherever possible.
These are good recommendations, and it
is 10 be hoped the members of that big and
powerful organization will carry them out.
As this report Of its committee well says,
"this great body Of aliens is out of touch
with American ideals and is not properly
informed Of the duties, liabilities and
privileges Of citizens Of this country"
This Is sore spot in our Institutions
which has long existed, but which the war
was required 10 disclose in all its poten-
tialities Of danger. Now it has been recog-
nized, the way 10 the cure is comparative

Keep the Pennies Moving
year.
From The Neio Bedford Standard

From The NtW
Ordinarily people are very anxious TO get
rid Of one-cent pieces. They pass them when
ever they can and accept them in change
with some reluctance. Now just because
there is a shortage Of pennies there is dis
position to hold on to them.
Hoarding pennies Is not only senseless, but
it will make trouble. More pennies than ever
are needed now because prices Of many ar
ticles have risen less than five cents or some
sum not multiple Of FIVE. A package OF
cigarettes that cost nickel now costs six
cents; and 10 and 10 cent packages cost II
and II cents, respectively.
Don't hoard pennies. Keep them In circu-
lation. II you have many turn them in to the
banks Nothing is to be gained by keeping
them, and they are needed to carry on bust.
