 AID THE FOREIGNER
AmeriCaniZatiOn Begins With
 Learning English Language

The city of New Britain is facing the earnest and commendable way, The Orga aization of central committee to study and promote the undertaking; the enlistment of 8. wide cooperation among the municipal boards and of ficials, the affiliation of the movement with the evening schools, including the teaching of English; and the appoint ment of a director, to be responsible for initiating the procedure and uni flying the operation of the various con- trtbuting elements for one common purpose; are all indicative of the se- rious consideration given to the move ment.
 Although this is the country in which Americans are made, although the stability of the social order Is dependent upon it's successful accom- phshment, and although the process Is itelf both prolonged and complex, Vet the whole realization of such an evolution among the newcomers to this land has for the most part remained R peculiarly incidental matter. People have ct best shown more optimism than foresig ght, in the passivity of their attitude. Americans have been slow 10 accept any responsibility for pro- Vidiag effective ways and means for those who would become competent workers and citizens! But these un- paralleled times of storm and stress arc making the more thoughtful pa triots of each nation more anxious IS to the stability of the social order that shall succeed the destruction, the rrumbling of traditions. and the trans formations of the status that once prevailed. Preparedness Is the word that arises in answer to the perplexi- ty. Americant5ation programs mean that people are endeavortng to secure 3 very significant sort of preparedness.
 All Must Do Their Part
 But the problem of Americanization Is multiplied and aggravated by a sit uation created Of long neglect. No single measure now is able to neu- tralize the unwise and undemocratic segregation Of groups which has been permitted, and more often en- forced upon these potential citizens. Nevertheless it is important that the American people accept the responst- oility that is theirs, provide the ma chinery select effective methods and be patient regarding results but at the same time untiring in their efforts tion. even for one city. is large piece of work--a community work, in very real sense-but it's re- suits are even more far-reaching than the community By it's very nature the elements of continuity and co-op- eration are irCtsnensihle All must help if success is to attend the endeav- CT.

hibition will not he effective until July next, the committee will urge it's members to carry as many present license towns for no license as pos sible. The explanation of the com mittec as to the desire Of dry towns is based on the theory that if war prohibition is a good thing, and it is a saving of fuel, food and transporta- ton, then the sooner that saving can be effected the better for all con- cerned. The Connecticut temperance union which is also entering upon 8 campaign for dry" towns at the town elections announces that it's efforts are directed in the main in the matter of candidates for the senate and the house with the hope that we shall ratify the national amendment when the time comes next winter

There is ample opportunity for all to serve. The civility and courtesy of the eNpressman of the mail carrier, or of the grocery clerk may be valuable in Etrumental factors in attaining the. general purpose. Likewise a co1sid- crate Inquiry of the employer, the foreman, or the policeman regarding evening school attendance may tend to stimulate interest and produce ac- tual fruit in the form of a larger en- roli1nent for such opportunities.
 It will prove helpful for the native American not to forget that he too is the son of an immigrant. No philan- thropic or benevolent pose in this work or Am@rlcanizatlOn is permissible. Merely to disavow any motives of pa ternalism IS palpably insufficient As surances must be more than the pious registration of good intentions, acts must match words. If freedom n1eans justice for one, it must also mean jus tice for the other fellow What Amer ica is now facing is no first aid" call for tenn porary relief, but she is facing a vast social and sociological problem involving national unity the preserva- tiOn of ideals of itizelship, and the maintenance of industrial peace. The modern factory system of American industry with it's specialize tions and forms of cass consciousness, operates to make the problem of socializa ton more complicated, and at the same time more necessary of solution.
 English Language Necessary.
 Certain factors are highly important or altogether essential in the preserva- ton of American social ideals. These are: the use of the English language
  appreciation of the privileges and dU- ties of American citizenship, and a reasonable regard for the American standards of living, The indispensable key to the whole field is found in the learning of the English language, Any satisfactory program must certainly provide the machinery on an adequate scale for this language training, and then to secure the actual connection of the non-E -English-speak individual and the machinery provided The public evening school when rightly adapted, is well intended to meet the existing need.
 But these evening schools require not only wide and varied advertising for they must have all the social force of the Community-all it's agencies all it's resources, and all it's civic synpa- thies-rbehind them, if the success of their function is really to be assured. The reduction of the waste. the loss, and the friction which are attendant upon the ignorance, illiteracy, or dis ease of any considerable portion of the population can never be accomplished by simply opening the school doors and indifferently waiting. On the other hand, your Am ericanism is not truly safe until the Americanism of your neighboT is also assured. The neigh

PRoHIBITTONISTS WANT VOTE

Hartford, Sept 12,--Whether towns in the state at their annual elections next month will vote on license is now being determined in many of them. The Connecticut prohibition commit tee, it is stated today has urged all licensed towns where action can be taken, to petition for a vote upon the question. The attitude of the commit tee, when it appeared that war pro- hibitOn would go into effect on Jan uarv next, was to have no campaign made for a vote as it was not be- lieved that any applications for It. cense for the month of December only would he filed.

Quors can not be sold in local option
territory even by an officer of law
pursuant to an execution. This OPP
inion was given to h. H. Stewards,
sheriff of Pike county today by At
torney General Charles Morris. So
wards wrote Attorney General Nor
ris asking if he could levy on sixty
gallons of wine under an execution
and sell same at public sale. The
opinion was in answer to this query,
Attorney General Morris setting out
in his reply that the local option
laws prohibit not only the sale of
intoxicating liquors in local option
territory but forbids persons to have
liquor in their possession in such
territory. The acts of the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly, he
said, also prohibit the advertising
for sale of liquors in dry territory.

HUNS START NEW OFFENSIVE.

Along the Marine and down to the
region of Chateau Thierry. Fierce
fighting is again in progress. This
time it is the Americans and French
who bear the brunt of the German
assaults. A large number of divi-
sions of Hun "shock troops" sup
ported by heavy tanks are delivering
blow after blow against the allied
lines. which stand as firm as a gran
lite wall. We believe We can sue
cessfully prophesy that these at
tacks will fail, as all the others have,
in gaining any definite decision
A small amount of terrain may be
captured but this will be overbalanc-
ed by ther loss OF men, who can new
er be replaced, and when the tide
shall turn all captured territory will
soon be retaken.

AN OLD BIBLE.

Mr.. w. S. Gaines, of Fordsville,
is in possession of a Bible that has
been handed down as an heirloom
from generation to generation since
the stormy period following the war
of 1912. 1t formerly belonged to
his grandmother, a Mrs. Yates, and
contains the family record of the
Yates, written with an old goose
quill, bearing such dates as 1914
and 1916. 1t bears on its title page
the name of a printer in Philadel-
phia, and it is hand-bound in a
leatherette covering, now nodded
with age. Being printed in the old
English lettering, in which an S re-
sembles an with many other pc
culiarities, it is hard to read.
Folded within its leaves is proof
sheet of THE Ancent Mariner" as
it had just come from the press.
This poem was very popular in that
day Also a bunch of roses. close
ly compressed, placed there before
the Civil War, still remain between
its pages. To them a faint aroma
still clings, though the ineffable
fragrance is forever gone. Mr.
Gaines prizes this book very highly,
keeping it as priceless possession.
