(Written for the New Britain Herald by Francis P. O'Brien, direc- tor of AmericanizatiOn work in New Britain)
 At that first Thanksgiving celebra- tion when the earnest Pilgrims felt impel1ed to give thanks that their harvests removed them from starva- tion's dangers, they invited in the neighboring Indians to share the simple festivities, and the Indians came. The majority of Americans may give thanks for opulence now. in contrast to the meagerness of those New England colonial days. The question arises, whether the fortunate Americans are as appreciative for their much as the Pilgrim folk were for their little.
 Whom are you inviting into your home of lenty for the Thanksgiv- ing feast other than your own com fortable kinfolk? It is granted that their are few Indians available to en- joy our hospitality; but there are num- bers of people similar to the Pilgrim sand, who have left a land of Op- preSsion to seek the freedom of our democratic shores. These people, for the most part, want to become Am orleans and are anxious to be Amer
 
 deed they are certain of reaching that goal in significant numbers. What many of us are doing to pro- mote the quality of their American ism is indeed small. The most effective thing that may be done, by you of establishing claims to the name American is to furnish opportunities and point the way, even though it cost some thought and attention on your part.
 Thanksgiving is a typical and pecu- liarly American holiday. Accordingly it seems quite fitting that the promo tion of Americanism should be both a purpose and a result of this day of feasting and thanksgiving. You may feel secure in your loyal citizenship, but if it is not active in it's expression of loyalty, there is surely something more to be expected of you. Here is suggestion for all who are willing to consider it and to be influenced by it. Let the native American home invite in some immigrant neighbor as a Thangsgiving guest. You will put reality and vitality into Americas home festival by doing this simple act of frieIdliness. Surely it Is only from Americans the newcomer will catch the spirit of real democratic friendship. You must be a friend if you wish to make a friend.
 You may be surprised to find that securing the assent of those who are to extend the invitation is but one

THE EYES OF LOVE.

When May was crowned with lilac
 plumeS
 And 2arlanded with leaves, And robins built their happy nests Beneath my cottage caves. And rainbOWs archcd the shining sky, And jewels tipped the spray. My eyes boheld a world of gloom W here all WUS black and gray. My heart was like an empty room Devoid of light and heat, And cchOing only to the sound
 of d}ur0s and marching feet. NoW ernm \ONcntbe" strips the bough -%nd Whirls the dust along, And rObs the garden of it's bloom.
 And stills the thrush's song Drab NapOrs hide the morning sun, And cloud the evenings close. And yet the landscape to my gaze Is lovely as the rose; For To! from France the glory land, Across the ocean foam, With medals on his gallant breast, My soldiers sailing home.
 -Minna Irving in New York Sun.

M 'ADOO RESIGNS AS
 MEMBER OF CABINET
Washington Rife With Specula.
 tiOn As to His Successor

Washington, Nov. 23-Giving neces- sity for replenishing his personal for 1 tune as a reason, William G. McAdoo has resigned as secretary of the treasury and director general of the railroads. His resignation has been accepted by President Wilson.
 As secretary of the treasury MT. MoAdoo will retire as soon as a suc- cessor has been chosen and has quali- fled. He will relinquish his position as head of the governm ment-controlled railroads January 1, unless director
 has been selected.
 The resignation of MT. McAdoo, which he himself announced at a con- ference with newspaper correspon- dents late yesterday, was entirely un- expected in Washington. MT. McAdoo made public his letter of resignation to the president bearing the date of November 14 and the latter's letter of acceptance.
 Saying he had refused to consider resigning while the country was at war, MT. McAdoo wrote the president that "the inadequate compensation al lowed by law to cabinet officers and the very burdensome cost of living in Washington have so depleted my personal resources that 1 am obliged to reckon with the facts of the situa- t1on.' While emphasizing that he has not suffered any actual impairment of health, he said he needs ." d reason able period of genuine rest to re- plenish' his energy
 Neither in his letter to the president nor in his statement to newspaper correspondents announcing his resig- nation did Mr McAdoo outline his plans for the future, but it is under stood he intends to take a vacation of several months before returning to business, probably the practice of law
 New Candidates Mentioned.
 By the resignation, President Wilson for the fourth time in nearly six, years of his term of office is faced with the necessity of filling a vacancy in his cabinet. It is not known whether the president will fill separately the offices of secretary of the treasury and director general of railroads. In some quarters it was thought today that the president may decide to make some other member of the cabinet head of the nations railroad system. In such an event it was considered likely that place would go to Secretary of War Baker Postmaster General Burleson or Secreary of the Interior Lane.
 Should the president decide to go , outside his cabinet for a director i general, the name of Walter D. Hines, 1 assistant director general and chair man of the board of directors of the | Santa Fe, was mentioned.
 For the treasury secretaryship the 1 names of John Skelton Williams. | comptroller of the currency; w. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal re- serve board; Russell G. Leff1ngweII ! assistant secretary of the treasury and { Paul Warburg, formerly member of | the reserve board and New York ! banker, were mentioned today

MIR. KING ON COL. ROOSEVELT,

John T. King, Republican leader in
 Fairfield County, made it plain at the annual suffrage convention in New Haven Thursday, that he approves of Theodore Rooscv et as the G. o. P. candidate for president at the next national election. Mr. Roosevelt has not announced his candidacy but po- itiGal observers, familiar with the
 to take up his residence in the White
 House again, feel certain he will try to capture the Republican nomina- tion.
 MT King apparently wants to be
 the first leader in Connecticut to rec ognize the aspirations of MT. Roose-
 veh and in the course of 8 speech at
 the suffrage gathering he paid many compliments to the Oyster Bay citi-
 zen.
 Colonel Roosevelt does not lack for
 supporters among the women of the state Homer s. Cummings of Stam ford acting chairman of the Demo-
 cratic national campaign a few weeks
 ago, attacked MT. Roosevelt and de- scribed him as the "bloodless warrior of the war; This immediately called forth misses from the women present, who took into consideration the fact that Colonel Roosevelt has given of his blood through the death of his son. Quentin. Several present, includ- ing Judge Charles J. Martin, de- manded a retraction from MT. Gum mings, who declined to withdraw his words Or offer an apology. MT. Cum mings has had eminent success as a campaigner among men. It is obvi- ous he must give the woman ques- ton closer study.

LOSS OF TREASURER McADOO.

William Gibbs McAdoo is not essen- tial to the success of the Fifth Liber- ty Loan in the spring but it would have been a distinct gain for the United States if his resignation as treasurer had been withheld until the bond issue had been sold to the pub lie.
 MT. McAuoo was recognized by the brilliant members of President WlI- sons official family and his absence from the councils at Washington will create gap the President will find a personality into his department that was instantly felt throughout the nation. As an interchangeable worker he labored day and night for Ameri- cas- success and the mammoth fi- nancial system under which the war was fought by this country was due, to great extent, to his efforts.
 As administrator of the railroads, Mir. McAdoo displayed the same geni- us as in his office as treasurer. As sumlng personal charge when the transportation system was on the brink of a breakdown, he made it one of the most efficient cogs in our war machine. .'
 MT. McAdoo has been widely men toned as the probable choice of the democratic party for president in 1920. What elfu.t lis withdrawal from public life will have on the boom launched by his admirers is problernatical. If he does seek the nomination his retirement to the role of private citizenship may be of some value. Tke Republican party shas been waginG an anti-Wilson campaign with some success, as is shown by the elections this month. It is possible MT McAdoo has detected signs of the Wilson structure beginning to crunl- ble and decided to step out and en- nance his status two years hence. Whether political or personal consid- eratlons inspired his action, he will be greatly missed from Pennsylvania avenue.
