AMERICANIZATION
 TALK BY WHEATON

Il. H. Wheaton, State Director of Amer1canization, so impressed a gath erlng of manufacturers, business and professional men invited by the Bridgeport War Bureau to hear MT. Wheaton at the Chamber. of Com merce rooms at 4 o'clock, Wednesdav afternoon, that an invitation was eX- tended to him to be the~ monday speaker at the Chamber of Com merce luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 27. The vital importance of his topic was brought home to every man who heard him. He insisted that Americanization is a broader, deeper. mOre fundamental task than Is em- braced in the economic and industrial phases. It touches the very root of American institutions and in cludes much more than the teaching of English, which is part of the pro- gram.
 Approaching the tremendous inn portance- of Americanization and it's vital need at this time, the State Council of Defense took the matter under advisement some months aga. established a Bureau of American lZatlon, of which Stanley Holmes. su- perintendent of schools in New Rri tain, one of the foremost educators in the East, is the head. The State Council obtained an appropriation of $20,O from the State Board of Con- trol for the Characterization bureau and then looked around for a suitable man as director.
 It procured MT. Wheaton, who was engaged in AmericaEtzation work for the Department of the Interior un- der Secretary Lane. Previous to that time MT. Wheaton was engaged in similar work in Pennsylvania. He is considered an expert and the War bureau is very anxious to have mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce hear him at the monday luncheon two weeks hence

RED CROSS WORK
 MUST STILL 60
 ON FOR SOLDIERS

What of the Red Cross now that he armistice has been signed?
 Thousands of Red Cross workers in Bridgeport have been asking that question, some of themselves but not a few of officers of the chapter The answer comes in an official message from the War Council, an answer of two words.
 Carry On!"
 The message of the War Council calls attention to the fact that on February 10, 1917. or six weeks be- fore war was actually declared, the National Red Cross advised it's chap ters to prepare for war. The re- sponse that followed then and dur ing the war has been a record of which every American may be proud. The work of the Red Cross has caus- ed the name of America to be bless ed in the stricken countries of Eur ope.
 "Our soldiers and sailors" says the bulletin of the War Council. have enlisted until the commander in chief tells them thers is no further work for them to do in the war. Let every Red Cross worker and member show our returning soldiers and sail ors that, to care for their health, wei fare and happiness, we are enlisted for no less period than they are. ''
 That the Red Cross will undertake a great work of mercy n the devas- tated districts of Europe is pointed out in the bulletin, and 1t Is further indicated that the need for the united efforts of all Red Cross members is greater. rather than less, Millions of American boys are under arms Thousands of them are sick or wound cd ard in need of the services of tho Red Cross.

Wounded Soldiers Call For Mothers
 And Sweethearts

With the American Armies in the FieldI Nov. 15.---(Correspondence of The Ass ciated Press )---When an American soldier goes lover the top" or when he receives a bullet or shrap- nel wound he thinks of his mother. The French poilu thinks of his wife,
 and the British Tommy of his sweet heart.
 This fact is borne out by the off, cers and doctors who have served in all three of the Allied armies. They declare that when the American sol- dier Is wounded, the first word on his lips in almost every case is ''Mother" Even after he is removed to the hos pital he calls consta ntly for his moth CT. His British cousin, however, seems chiefly absorbed in his sweet heart, and longs to see her just once again." while his French compatriot thinks only of his "feme bien aimee. :"
 The correspondent of The Associat- eIil Press at the American front asked a number Of soldiers what thought was most on their minds when they first left their trenches to attack the Germans. In nine cases out of ten the answer was, "Of home and mother"
 There were few, however, who said that as they entered the battle their minds were given ever wholly to prayer, although they had never be- fore been in the habit of praying Some of them kept before them words of encoura cement and counsel con-
 tIined in letters from relatives.
 One soldier on the morning of the attack received a letter from his
 mother quoting the Scriptural phrase, Trust in the Lord and no enemy shall prosper against thee" The so,d.er went through one of the blood ] lest battles of the war that Gay and , came cut unscathed

An Open Letter to the Citizens of
Perth Amboy:

Preserving the morale of the folks at home is almost as essential
to the nations success in arms a $ supplying the fighting forces with
inexhaustible shells, food and clothing.
The reason for this is obvious. With the morale of a people re-
duced to low ebb, their support of the boys at the front is reduced in
proportion. Our labors to keep the bridge of ships intact and loaded
with all that goes into the grinding nav of the war-god, can only be
performed to that high degree of efficiency on which we pride our
selves, if our hearts are in the war and if our spirits are buoyant.
The people of Germany r in the slough of depression. Their
armies are being destroyed like chaf in the flames. The morale of
the people has been reduced. The effects of this are seen in incipient
revoluions-in the farng back of the soldiers who in many cases
have revoted against their offcers-and have been executed by firing
squads.
The morale of the American people is high. AS a result we are
throwing all of our resources, all of our energies, our hearts and souls
into the one great cauldron from which we will produce victory, and
will make the world a decent place to live in.
+weeaE3Ne our morale only by putting aside, from time to time,
the thoughts O. so anu ~ that nertaiDs to war. A muscle too long
tensed becomes sih We musA-oep or menraa muscles resilient and
so tht we can strike the harder.
The United States Government has set the seal Of its approval
on the motion picture as a safe and sane relaxation for mind and
prices within the reach of all classes of our people. 4.

which we labor day after day. THEY ARE HELPING TO WIN
