CONFERENCE CALLED TO DlCuSS PLANS
 FOR ORGANIZATION OF ALIENS IN U. s.

The Secretary of the Interior has issued invitations to the governors of the States. to the chairmen of the State defense councils. and to about 300 presidents Of corporations and chambers of commerce and other in- iustrial leaders to meet with him in Washington. for the purpose of consid ering the national plan of American zation projected by the Department of the Interior.
 To Discuss Program.
 The object of this meeting is to reach an agreement upon ways and means Of putting the plan into oper- ation through the instrumentality of the State governments and industrial establishments The Federal legisla- with the representatives present. This program calls for an appropriation to 5e made to the United States Bureau of Education for the purpose of rem iering financial aid and other assist ance to the States joining in a con- ,erted plan to Americanize the many millions Of foreign birth who are en- gagged in the many industrial and com mercial activities of the country.
 The Department Of the Interior has recently entered into joint arrange ment with the Council Of National De- tense whereby the national plan Of is put into effect all over the United States through the medium of the IS State defense coun- cils and great number of county and local committees on defense. English the language of the United States is the slogan adopted under this plan.
 Considered As War Measure
 Americanization is to be dealt with as measure of war for the purpose of ccunteracting the antiAmerican prop aganda among aliens, large propor ton Of which is being carried on in sidiously within industrial plants. The entire plan will be submitted to the industrial men present and will cover not only this feature, but others involving the human side of industry.
 The war aspects Of Americanization have impressed themselves upon the Government very forcibly since the United States entered the great con-

tiict. It has been found that 1,275,000 aliens were registered under the sell ective-draft law. Mayn of these have been accepted for military service. but on account of inability to speak English and illiteracy, are unable to understand military orders in Eng fish, and therefore make training ex- ceed;ngly difficult the cantonments.
 Fires increased Since War.
 Fires in grain elevators alone have increased 400 per cent since the Unit ed States entered the war, while fires and explosions. willful damaging of machinery, hampering the production Of war materials. and other acts i'm peding the Governments activities have frequently been traced to aliens. Their ignorance of English makes them easy prey for German propagan- dists and plotters. who are stirring up industrial difficulties and nisunder- standings in various sections of the country. The department has ob- served how many otherwise friendly aliens have been made tools of the en- emy.
 The departments investigations, through the Bureau of Education, show that 5,000.000 persons of foreign birth do not speak the English language, while 3,000.0o0 males Of military age that is, from IS to 45 years-are un- naturalized and owe no obligations of loyalty and support to the United States. As head of the department, under whose supervision come the in ternal affairs of the country, the Secre- tary Of the Interior is taking steps to safeguard our national unity and fur

Trial of Suit to Close Up
Lakeside Club Over to Frida,

Trial of the Injunction suit to close
the Lakeside club" East Omaha,
owned by Georg: Scheschey, was
started by the county attorney in dis
trict court Monday morning. 1t is
alleged that Lakeside" is used as
a dance hall and saloon for the pur-
pose of keeping intoxicating liquor
for sale and where persons are per-
mitted to resort for the purpose OF
drinking liquor. 1t is classed as a
nuisance" under the prohibition law
in the petition.
Sheriff Clark told of raid on the
place on August II, when two men
were arrested, one for being intoxi-
Gated and the other for the alleged
possession of liquor. Deputy Sheriff
Lindsay, along with the sheriff at the
time of the arrest, corroborated the
sherff's statements.
Scheschey was the only witness
called to the stand yesterday by the
defense. He maintained that Lake
side" was well-governed place OF
amusement and that liquor was never
knowingly allowed on the premises.
After his testimony was taken, re-
cess was taken until Friday, as Judge
Sears, before whom the trial is be-
ing heard. will be absent from court
until FRIDAY.
