nothing but pride that his boy had

service in the Franco Prussian war,
Metz said IL was an endless regret
TO him that ne had fought in the
war which helped Germany gain
power for the present conflict.
This is not an isolated case. The
list of casualties from the battle

Since then the papers daily report

FACTORIES ASSIST IN AMERICANIZATION
Twenty Agree to Cooperate With
 New Britain Committee

The New Britain Americanization committee had an interesting meet ing last evening in the new office at the old Burritt school. It was the first meeting that has been held in the new headquarters.
 Reports were made on the progress that has been made in Americaniza- tion work, principally regarding the support and cooperation of the em- ployers. Twenty of the industrial plants of the city have taken steps to cooperate with the committee and each one has appointed special representative to assist in the work
 A report was made on the work now being cared on at the even ing schools being conducted at the Grammar, Burritt and Sacred Heart schools. The conduct of the social evenings at the schools was of special interest to the members of the com nittee. The classes are held three evenings a week and on the fourth evening the members of the classes gather for singing, playing and en- tertainment of various kinds. At these meetings English is spoken entirely. The attendance at the schools on the social evenings was reported to be very large.
 Another interesting feature of the evening schools is the self govern ment organization. The students have a part in governing the schools and are taught to do things in a democratic way.
 An attempt is being made to enlist women in the work of Americaniza- ton. Superintendent of Schools s. H. Holmes, who was present at the m 1eeting said that he believed the only way to succeed in reaching the women is to invite them to assist in the work. The Women's Council of Defense has been invited to assist in getting the women interested. Miss Mary Camp bell is the chairman of the New Brit ain council.
 The committee passed a. resolution to invite a definite number of wom en to become members of the committee. This is new departure in that no women have heretofore been members of the committee.
 A special committee was appointed to suggest plans for the recognition and reception of new citizens after naturalization. The committee feels that more recognition, including some cerefony and formality, is appropriate and due to such an important event as becoming an American citizen.
 A committee was appointed to pro- mote community song service. This work has been held up owing the con- ditions caused by the epidemic.
 The institution of citizenship classes for New Britain was also dis cussed. The classes will open Octo- Der 2S

 Somewhere in France
 September 21, 1918, Dear Mother and Dad:
 Just a few lines to let you know that 1 am we'll and happy as the rest of the boys all are. We have just been in another big drive, which was more of a joke than anything else. The Germans were running in all di- rections. If things keep up the way they have been going on this war ought to be over soon. I got some letters and papers from home D couple of days ago and it did seem good.
 I suppose you must have run across Fred Becker when he was home, but don't worry for some of us have got to come home safe and sound and I've been pretty lucky so far.
 It is starting to get cold over here now and Pm going to try and see if 1 can get a sweater sent to me.
 1 went to church last Sunday and there certainly was some noise going on at the time. The services were held near some old trenches and shell holes and there were shells going in both directions. So you sec Sundays are no holidays over in this country. I suppose by the time you get this letter you will have heard all about the drive. This is the sec ond I have been in. The first was Chateau Thierry and this one is the St. Mihiel salient"

NEED CARPENTERS
 AT ENVIRONMENTS
Thousands Now Engaged in Non- Essential Construction, Labor
 Questionnaires Disclose.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Many thou sands of builders-skilled men--are engaged in non- essential construction for private interests, while govern ment work at cantonments is being held pack for lack of men. This is disclosed in statements being received by the U. $. employment service in response to questionnaires recently sent to building trades councils and builders exchanges in 300 cities. In some cities workers engaged in private operations far Outnunber those em- ployed in war work
 While there Is a dearth of carpen- ters for army work, one camp being short 5000, one city has reported 1000 carpenters not essentially em- ployed. Similar conditions in other building trades are reported from various places.
 The reports show there is a great army Of workers employed on non- essentials in the middle west. The southwest also seems to have a supply of skilled labor sufficient for all it's needs both war and non-war.
 The acute shortages are reported from the Atlantic seaboard and from districts about army camps and can tonments. The employment service is laying plans for redistributing much of this labor. Returns are being tabulated by cities and trades. A call for help can be met, when this system Is complete, by drawing on any of the cities reporting a non-war surplus and putting the men not usefully engaged in touch with jobs where they are needed.
