Citing the great need for Americaniza-
tion work In this country, II Americas
industries are TO be protected from the
great rush Of foreign born residents to
return to their native countries, now
that the latter are In process Of be-
coming republics, Frances A. Keller,
United States expert on Amerlcanlzatlon
lines, last night defined some Of the
problems confronting this country
through its failure TO properly take
up foreigners and make them at home
Miss Keller lectured TO the public at
the High School annex yesterday aft
ernOon, and among the audience that
crowded the community room Of the
new building, were those who will pre-
pare themselves for Americanization
work in this State.
She said that there would be a yush
OF foreign born residents here, to the
Atlantic seaboard that would swamp
shipping facilities.
Miss Keller spoke from much expe-
rlence and long contact with aliens.
Her work brings her into closest rela
tion with them and their problems and
difficulties. She defined the word Amer
icanization which she also classed as
being unpopular, as being the science
OF race assimilation-the problem OF
getting the races 10 live and work to-
gether.
The basic principle for the work, Miss
Keller declared, was for everyone 10
get together, 10 cooperate with and
have the immigrant cooperate with
Americans, and TO impress upon the
immigrant that America is more than. a
money grubbing country-that IL is a
land Of culture and refinement as well
as people mad with desire for
wealth.
Mrs. Charles r. Miller, chairman OF
the wOmen's committee Of the State
Defense Council presided at the meet
ing, that was attended by leaders and
many representatives Of foreign born
races. DR.. Clifford j. Scott, superln-

LARGE FORCE

CAMP DIX, Wrightstown, n. j., Nov.
.a.-Camp Dix soldiers are celebrating
victory today by preparing to maintain
peace. The majority OF the $4,000 men
sun In the training camp are still
counting strongly upon seeing overseas
service. Onlcers have the same hopes,
and the fact that there has been no
suggestion Of let-up in the intensive
training system is accepted by them as
evidence Of the strong probability OF
every able-bOdied man under training
being sent to France to relieve veterans
OF older American divisions in main
tanning the peace Of middle Europs-dur-
ing the readjustment period.
While there has been no formal an
nouncement from headquarters as yet
many officers here are warning their
men against figuring upon an early dis
charge from military service, telling
them that in the critical period ahead
a large armed force OF Americans VIII
be a necessary factor In Europe. A
Negro pioneer regiment here gave evil
dence Of their hope for real service
abroad before they get HON by singing
as they drilled on the parade ground
this afternoon, Were Going over
Whether the War Department will
retain the large number OF limited ser
vice men under training here is a ques-
tion that is interesting the members OF
that detachment. the majority Of whom
we're inducted from Philadelphia and
PENNSYLVANIA. They were called at a
time when the War Department was
straining to relieve every able-bodied
man for service on the firing line.
That the greatest task Of tbe well
fare work organizations among Ameri-
can soldiers is TO be faced during the
period OF rehabilitation is the belief
OF prominent officers Of Camp Dix and
of welfare leaders themselves, who are
to place the facts before citi-
zens Of this State, in the great united
appeal for public financial support.
That the splendid morale Of the Ameri-
can soldier, due in large part to the
work OF the " NJ. C. A., the X. Of C.
and other welfare organizations, must
be maintained at all costs will be the
special appeal OF the Camp Dix speak
ers In the weeks campaign ahead.
