according to the card. although the

days of the voyage. In rough wealth

arc so ignorant Of America that they fail
utterly to>understand the real American pur-
pose in this war, or why America should be
in the war at all, and by not understanding
they help to create sentiment against the
war for America.
Miss Mary Dreier, in charge of the work
both in New York State and New York City,
has organized the work by Assembly and cleo
ton districts in every city, appointing Amer-
canization leaders and captains in EACH The
Junior League in New York City will CO.
operate actively with the Americanization
committee and take over some of this leader
ship work.
The chief work proposed for the city COM
mittee is:
l. Cooperation with the night school and
the factory extension system Of the New York
City Board of Education to promote attendance
at English and civic classes in the schools and
to get classes in factories on employers time
The city has funds for this purpose, but can
not get the women to come. The schools reach
only 10 per cent Of the immigrant men who
should attend them and probably only S per
cent Of the women.
2. Establishment of information centres in
ing to come to find out about naturalization
about learning English, about what the vote
will do for them, and what they can do with
it, and about laws touching them, proposed at
Albany or in the city These will also be
distribution centres for literature in foreign
languages when necessary and possible
B. House to- house work. This is perhaps
the chief need. The women must be inter
ested in Amercanization from their own point
of view before they will come to lectures or
classes. 1t is hoped that bill will be gotten
through the Legislature providing for "do-
nestle educators" to do this work as part Of
the state educational system and on state pay
Until that time volunteers will be used.
L. Cooperation with the naturalization
courts in facilitating the naturalization of
such women as are prepared for it, by night
sessions of the court, in making the ceremony
of naturalization more impressive, etc.
5. Preparing brief, simple naturalization
primer.

PERSHING NAILS
LIE ABOUT NEGROES
Denies Propaganda Story That They
Are Put at the Most Danger

WASHINGTON. June 22.-Formal de-
NAL of reports circulated in this coun
try, presumably by German agents, that
Negro soldiers with the American ex
peditionary forces get more dangerous
work than the white troops was cabled
to the war department yesterday by
Gen. Pershing.
The General s cablegram, which was
in reply to one of inquiry sent by Sec
rotary Baker, said:
THE stories, probably invented by
German agents, that colored soldiers in
France are always placed in most dan
gerous positions and sacrificed to save
white soldiers, that when wounded they
are left on the ground to die without
medical attention, &C., are absolutely
false.
1.-THE following are the losses as re-
ported up to June Is in the four colored
combat regiments now in France: 369th

disease, 8 severely wounded, none. 371st

died of disease, 3; severely wounded,

in an even keener lookout on the part of
the civilians and others along shore
A week has now elapsed without any
reported sinkings as result of
submarine activities along the Atlantic
Coast. The last reported sinkings were
those of the Norwegian banks Krinsiaa
and Samoa, sunk on June IA off the Viz
ginia coast. Reports of other vessels
having been chased in the past few days
have been received unofficially, but none
of these has been officially verified,
While the navy is running down all
possible reports and rumors in its cam
paign against the submarine, it is the
belief of high officials here who have
been studying the situation for months
that many of the reports of both sight
ing and sinking of submarines are with
out real foundation. Discussing the mat
ter informally, Acting Secretary Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt, who had before him an
official pink paper, issued ocnfidentially,
covering an expert analysis OF reports OF
submarine sinkings for a quarterly period
of three months, said that the information
it contained showed that most of the
cases of submarine sinkings lacked con-
hrmation.
Mr.. Roosevelt would not give the ex-
act figures contained in the pink pa
per- because it was held as confidential,
but he said that the information it con-
tanned for the unarned period of three
months showed that on the basis of every
hundred reported sinkings covered by the
information in the pink paper so per cent
so called sinkings of submarines were re
garded by British and American naval Of
ficials as highly improbable, it being
| doubtful in these cases if a submarin,
were even present. that 20 per cent were
possible sinkings, being cases wher,
submarines had been seen; that about fiv,
per cent were called probable sinkings
and that 10 per cent of the reported sink
ings of submarines during this quarterl!
period were known sinkings.
