Although reports yer received to-

we're i'll with influenza, there was a
disposition among the health authori-
ties to consider the greatest danger a
thing of the past. The ase reported

instances, the ailment is nothing but
an ordinary cold, and 1t seems to be q
fact that new outbreaks are sporadic.
But there is still the danger Of

people within the last week or so. At
the present time it is impossible to
give an accurate estimate Of the. num-
Der of pneumonia cases prevalent in

GERMANY.

Guard against all things made in Germany--from treaties to toys,' warns Mrs. John Laidlaw Buel, state regent of the Connecticut Society, Daughters of the American Revolu- ton. A patriotic doctrine, shared by many others, but, unfortunately not practicable.
 So far as treaties are concerned, no one will ever place faith in the sigma ture of German official, at least not until Germany has become regener- ate and proves an ability to live like a human being instead of wolf. It is a different matter with toys-lt can he taken for granted that Mrs. Buel used the word toys fguratively to cover all German industry. When final peace terms are formulated It will be found that enormous war ln- demnities will be imposed on the late enemy. Germany can pay those ln- demnities if granted the time and op- portunity But if the Allies expect ever to receive marx they lhu0' pei init German industry to be rebuilt and permit Germany to export her manufactures.
 Germany could not be self sus- +aining. She must have commercial intercourse with other countries. Every precaution must be taken to prevent underselling the world through subsidies at home. but the markets of the earth must not De closed to her. Germany, prevented from shipping her goods abroad would become impoverished, paul per among nations. Reasonable iau- tude must be allowed.
 The Allies cant eat their cake and have it too.

BRITISH DAY, DECEMBER ',

December is a date set aside throughout the nation to pay our re- snects to Great Britain and it should be observed in a manner that WILL erase from the mind of the mother country any lingering doubts as to our sincere friendship.
 Tn 1776 the youthful America dls- agreed with the policies-putting 1t mildlv-of the George that then d. rAc+ad the affairs of state in England. We told him so, severed the ties that bound and chated and since then have been in business on our own account with considerable success. Tt was not done as easily as that as we were forced to administer a se- were beating to the soldiers George Iauded on our soil But in the end we convinced England that we were quite capable of standing on our own feet and treading on hers, in a mlh- arr. sense. and with the exception of short periods of hostiIities since then America has not been interfered with bv the British Empire.
 All that happened nearly 150 years ago and as both countries expanded and prospered, England at length came to admire us and, standing out at the front gate, murmured tondiy
 ''That's my boy" as we strutted past For 8 year and a half we have been
 associated with England in stamping o,I+ the worst menace the world has \ ever known Another George, far x different, is on the throne. It mat
 ters little whether we are associates ; pr allies. England and America have
 been marching shoulder to shoulder on land and steaming bow to bow on sea since April 6, 1917. We are more than associates; we are brothers and we share a common debt of gratitude toward each other. England tied up # the German fleet and made it possi-
 ble for America to ship supplies
 across the ocean, By so doing, Eng
 land protected herself but also gave
 America an opportunity to build up a
 vast war machine that turned the
 scales against Germany, an achieve
 ment that could not have been won
 with the German pirates free to go and come as they chose.
 The war is practically ended. Un-
 cle sam and John Bull are shaking hands and calling it job we'll done,
 while they wipe their perspiring
 brows. Old grievances have been
 burned out in the fires of war and

 Previous to annuncing his resigna- tion yesterday, Mr. McAdoo stated specifically that he had no thought of going to Europe, which was taken as meaning he would not be one of the American delegates to the peaceI conference.
 MT. McAdoo said he had no idea who his successors might be. and added that he would make no recom- mendations to the president
 Regardless of the appointment toI the treasury post, it is considered inn probable that there will be any great tA change in future fiscal policies of the' government.
 As for the railroads the new dire.-| tor general doubtless will haze much to do With the formulation of policies for future management. MT. McAdoo recently indicated that he had planned to continue consultations pooling, short hauling and ether reforms look ing to efficient operation, regal dIess of the fact tha, the war emergency IS ever Opposition to this course now appears to be developing as to whether railroads are to remain per- manently under government direction and even government OWnCrship. or De returned shortly 10 their private owners.

factor in the accomplishment or thl project. If we have previously doh' nothing to win the friendship or con fidence of our would-be guests, a feel ing of patronage will arise and tht lack of any common sympathy will b( felt, This will perhaps mean tha any such invitation to them will bt declined The invitation must bt simple, genuine, and without any dis. play or patronizing manner for what ever the shortcomings of the immi- grant people, they are not muct give to sham, make-belieVe, and pretend. ing to be what they are not. Such are very often the recognition signs of the American "hocus pocus' as found on Riverside avenue or Quality Hill, Indeed the native born may need Americanization fully as muct as the persons who come from another shore, since the main object sought is the uniting of new and native borr Americans in a fuller common under standing and appreciation.
 Some weIl-meaning conservative people will doubtless disclose their un- democratic spirit and their surpcrioI estimate of their own status by say. ing, ''Why, I couldn't think of invit- ing these foreigners into my home Such persons should read the Amer ican casualty lists and ponder on the names found there. We all know persons whom we would not want as gests, tis true. But do you know that there are in this city persons ir each of the racaiI groups represented here who are delightful to know and talk to? They will easily prove more interesting than a high percentag ge of the native born And is it not the groSSest folly for us to assume thai the manner of dress, standards ot cleanliness, or table manners are q biolOgcal inheritance, and that by the economy of Prividence Americans are especially gifted at birth with such prely acquired traits?
 Some of the people in this city whc are just making their acquaintance with the American language will of their own accord observe the day and the spirit of Thanksgiving. The pupils of the evening school classes have planned to hold Thanksgiving socials for which catering service has been engaged, and an after dinner program provided. The students have taken a very active part themselves in pro- noting this idea. Such an experience will help to make the OccaSon some thing more to make a date on the calendar when most people work less and eat more than usually. Such 8 decidedly American holiday as Thanksgiving deserves a more fitting recognition by Americans
