In the United States the U-boat raid
served to impress the people with the
pressing need Of the conservation Of
wheat and sugar, especially. The
former must be sent across the ocean
in increasing quantities as our forces
there grow rapidly greater; and sugar
cannot be bought from Cuba because
we must use all available shipping for
the transportation of troops and mu-
nltions to Europe.

The senates attempt to stop the
manufacture Of beer and wine by
means of an amendment to the emer-
gency agricultural bin was blocked by
the administration last week. Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover opposed 1t because
he believed II would put the nation on
a "whisky, brandy and gin" basis with
attendant evils far outweighing the
small food savings that would result.
President Wilson had told Senator
Sheppard he would not forbid the use
of foodstuffs in beer and wine unless
Mr.. Hoover regarded such n step nee
essary. The senate therefore receded

inent part and won the warm praise
of the French and British by their gal
lantry and valor ms well as by their ex-
cellent craftsmanship. The Americans
were called on to hold bridge head
near Chateau Thierry Immediately on
their arrival after thirty hours on the
road in motortrucks. They took up
their positions quickly and slaughtered
the Huns who tried to cross. Under
cover of this fire Yankee engineers
successfully dynamited the bridges,
and the machine gunners have since
held the south bank and repulsed all
attempts of the Germans to build new
bridges. 1t is reported the Americans
killed about 1000 Germans at the
bridge head, having themselves only
one man killed and a few wounded.
In the Neuilly wood, northwest of
Chateau Thierry, the American infan-
try had their chance, and three times
they drove back desperate attacks of
the Huns, their rifle fire being deadly.
On the third assault they met the Ger
mans in the open and put them TO
rout with the bayonet.
In what may be called their own
sector, in the Luneville region, the
Americans carried out some highly
successful operations.
The allies frankly admit that they
are counting on the United States
troops to save the day. and the tests
to which the Yankees have been sub
mitted show the trust Of the British
and French is not misplaced.

main force of their attacks on the

found any advance still more difficult,

driven back some distance by the inn

AMERICANISM
 TO BE TAUGHT
 TOFOREICNERS

With the coming of peace, the bu reCu of naturalization of the United States department of labor Is charged with continuing the work. which the war has shown to have been already so well established. of cementing the many races and peoples represented in this Country's population into one homogeneous nation. The achievement of national unity, involving the assm-
 lation of 17.500,O00 alien born resi- dents of this country, is the peculiar task of this bureau, which is begin ming this season the greatest cam Ip&ign in its history to effect it's aims.
 Realization of the ideal of America as the melting pot in which the peo- ple8 of many lands are fused into a new and characteristic national type is the purpose of this bureaus Ameri- canzation work Last May congress passed q law to Americanize every man and woman of foreign birth in this country, and 1t chose the bureau of naturalization to have charge of the citizenship training which will be carried on through the public schools Foreigners are becoming citizens by the hundreds of thousands every year. and the war has done much to pro- mote interest in America among the aliens living here. There are still. however, many difficulties in the way of a successful accomplishment of the great plan to make every inhabitant of this country American in thought. word and action.
 For example. there are 5O0,000 for l eigners in New York city who can not read. write or speak English. Prob ably one hundred languages and dia- i Ilects are spoken here. There are be- tween ten and twelve million persons i in this country who owe allegiance to other nations. In no other country in the world is there so great per scntage of aliens.
 1 The bureau of naturalization is more closely in touch with the foreign born than any other government or eani2ation. Through it's naturalization examiners it has gained acquaintance i with about three million immigrants, and during the last four years the scbhools have begun their great work of instructing the millions of others in the essentials of American citizen- ship.
 This great educational work Is go ing on in nearly 1000 communities the home cities of millions Of imml- grants. Hundreds of thousands oi these have taken out their first papers and the bureau has prevailed upon the school authorities wherever these candidates live to open evening classes in which frst-paper men ana their wives may be taught what they ought to know about the American government
 The first thing taught is the English

language ge-conyersation. reading and writing. Every foreigner is ambitious to be told that he speaks English like an American. The government sends an urgent appeal to every applicant for citizenship asking him to go to an evening class in the public schools of his city. It also furnishes free text books to these men and women, and will recognize the work of the public schools in certificate of graduation, presented jointly by the government and the schools to foreigners when they come into American citizenship. Thus far the surface has been barely scratched for less than per cent of the aliens in this country have applied for citizenship instruction. The AmCriCanizatiOn of the other 9S per cent is the almost herCulean task lthe bureau of naturalization faces. The aid of every resident of the commu- nity must be enlisted in the work II it is to be effective.
 Employers of aliens can aid in the work by having their workmen, par ticularly those who are deficient m their knowledge of English or ot American institutions, enter the even ing citizenship classes at once Those who have foreign born friends or ac- ,ouaintances who are not thoroughly naturalized can see to 1t that they throw off the foreign influence by urging them. in q friendly manner. to enroll in one of the classes.
 Our foreign-born soldiers, many oi whom have become naturaliZed since entering the army-either in camps at home or on the fields of France will have American homes to return to if the bureaus program is carried out properly here The relatives and friends of these young men can have the meaning of Americanizauon brought home to them, just as the young men lneIlStiN'S hi'''''i '' ''' the army.
 The doors of thousands of schools are open to the foreigner who sin Cerely wishes to become an American, and the teachers will receive him with a cordial welcome The schools have already accomplished a great work in the naturalization program. but there is much more to be done. Many other schools will be opened in the near future. it is expected.
 The government. through it's bu- reau of naturalization, and in cooper ation with the public schools, IS eN- tending helping hand to every alien who comes here. If they realize their opportunity they will embrace it gladly. It is the duty of Americans
 to make sure that foreigners under stand what is being done for them.
 The courts are showing through ap- preciation of what the bureau and the schools are doing. for they have Tn the last two years recommended that 15. 900 aliens take the citizenship courses more than the total number of aliens admitted to citizenship Tn three years of the last decade.
