Fifty million men, It - estimated.

five hundred thousand women are now
engaged In making American war
products.
Mothers who have spent half their

are passed blythe state legislatures

Many State Organizations
Have Special Committees
For This Work.

HQLE- -'rEr. q = -
Important work among the for
eign-born population is being done
by the Americanization committee Of
The state councils Of defense. About
thirty OF the state councils now have
special committees for this work. In
most cases their organization extends
also into counties and into communi-
ties. These widely scattered agencies
receive advice and suggestions from
g central Office in Washington which
is part Of the council of national de-
Tense.
The teaching of English Is one Of
the biggest tasks. This is by no
means the simple affair it might seem
to be, for a middle-aged immigrant
is sometimes unable and frequently
unwilling to undertake to learn a new
language at his time of life. To per-
Americanization workers in the coun-
ellis have first to show him that it Is
practically impossible to become edu-
Gated in American customs and ideals
unless he understands the language
spoken by the great masses Of the
American people. h younger peo-
pie in the foreign groups respond

schools are given literature to take

couraged to repeat to their fathers

taught in the class room. In the
children are given special credit for
teaching English to their parents.
Kentucky is one Of the states which
has a carefully planned program for
doing characterization work through
the schools.
Information for >Foreign-born.
Many councils of defense have es-
tabltshed wal information services
for the foreign people. The extent
Of anti-American propaganda among
the foreign-born and the important
part which the foreign groups play
in the prosecution of the war have

tive sources of information. The in

in easily accessible places and are US

a number OF foreign languages. In

subjects. These include the draft
regulations, provisions of the Sol

portunities for war service. oppor-

with regard to the war. and so on.
San Francisco has a particularly
active information bureau, for for

has been to protect the immigrants
against fraud in connection with their

Dor, organized labor, the public

agencies doing work among the-for-

The councils of defense ARB partic-
ularly interested in the emergency
wartime features Of Americanization.
But they are also looking to the fu-
ture, to the remaking of the nations
which will come with peace. There.
is a huge task Of education to be ac-
complished, through the whole ma
tion, native-born and foreign born.
A slogan has been chosen by the
Americanization section of the coun-
Gil. of national defense and recon-
mended to the state and smaller
councils Of defense, which shows
something of the spirit that is being
put into the work. The slogan reads:
"And for America! Native-born and
foreign-born! Anything is Good
That Brings Us Together!"

CAPTURED Wine
HELPS GERMANS
ENLllVEN VISIT
Huns Who Captured Thiau-
court Stripped Town of
Everything of Value.

With American Forces in France,
Nov. 9.-Oficers of the German army
who occupied Thiaucourt until they
were driven out by the Americans in
the smashing Of the st. Mihiel salient
enlivened their stay in the little
French village by consuming large
quantities Of French wines which they
~confscated from the cellars of the
French proprietors. From the wine
cellar OF one Frenchman alone the
Germans took 5000 bottles of cham
pafgne, 10000 quarts Of red wines in
bottles, and drained 80 enormous
casks each containing more than 5000
quarts Of various kinds of wine. The
advance guard of the Germans helped
themselves literally to the wine. Later
the greater part OF it was shipped
back to Germany as loot Of the Ger
man army. -
None Of the civilians III Thiaucourt
was ever searched for ~valuables and
owing to this fact. all of those who
remained in Thiaucourt when the
Americans entered the village still had
jewellery and other articles Of gold
and silver. Many Of the women had
seWed material we the French gold
pieces and wore them upon their
outer clothing as buttons.
Many Of the keepsakes and pieces
Of jewelry and French gold coins
were offered to the Americans by the
villagers as souvenirs, but the Amer
leans refused to accept them,
The villagers said that two years
ago the Germans stripped the
churches of Thiaucourt of their bells
M even took the metal of the pipe
organs all of which was shipped to
Germany to be turned into material
for war. The electric light plant like
WISE was d~isnantled of its machinery,
ana every bit Of metal obtainable, was
sent back as fast as it could be as
sembled.
