AMERICANIzATIoN

The Department of Education at
Washington is pressing its WORK
throughout the country TO Americans
ize the foreign born The effort II
persistent to break up those COM
munities that conduct their affairs
in foreign tongues. The war put 4S5
German newspapers out OF business
and these papers reached three mil
lion subscribers a day. Germany
was the worst offender in peace times
in perpetuating the customs OF the
parent nation. But in our antipatny
and distrust OF Germany we should
not overlook the fact that ten mil-
lion papers in foreign languages are
circulated in America every week,
There were approximately $4,000
goo people in this country in 1910
who were either born abroad OF un7
der foreigng home conditions and
neighborhood environment. In all
there are thirty eight different Ian
guage groups in the United States.
The war has brought the acid test
to millions OF these people. and most
of them have proved loyal But the
troubles with the disloyal ones make
il very plain that the bonds should
he drawn very tight. and American
ization must become an accomplish
ed fact rather than an ideal.

JEROME IMPORTANT
AS A SHIPPING POINT

We are indebted to Agent Avery

ties have been shipped and all OF
them were products of the North Side

in directing industry; emphasis of
shop unions as opposed to the indus
trial councils proposed by organized

labor should be worked out in indus
trial establishments, with due regard
to local factors, instead of along the
lines of entire industries as suggest
ed by labor.
High industrial efficiency" was
stated by the employers as the touch
stone of sound industrial relations.

discussion of the subject to give pro.
mise of no results.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
OFFICE GIRLS HUNT JOBS
Have Become ExtraVaeant and Com
merciaI and Business Firms Do
Want Them.

London, Sept. Is, Correspondence
of The Associated Press. Many girls
who obtained clerical employment in
government departments during the
war are having a hard time finding
new jobs since the cutting down of
staffs has thrown them out of work.
There have been numerous exposures
of extravaganza and Incompetence in
government Offices and the girls who
worked in them have come TO be re-
garded by some employers as aiders
and abetters in the wasting of the tax
payers money. They are discover
ing that commercial and business
firms do not want them. Some adver-
tisements of situations vacant CON
clude with the statement, NO govern
ment washouts need apply"
Employers consider their attitude
well justified. "How can such girls
be of any use in their house?" said
the manageress of the West End
branch of a big London firm. Every
one knows that in a government of
fee the girls spend more time in knit
ting jumpers and making tea than in
working"
1T is a case of the many suffering
for the sins of the few" said one
official.

home in Belvidere early Monday
morning.

sponse to the demand to submit, he in
formed them that he would shoot the
first man to enter. The officers tried
the door and the next minute shot
came through the panel. About 4.S0

guarding the front of the house heard
noise and, believing that Gotta was
attempting to escape, gave the alarm.

oner had dropped from window
about Is feet from the ground and
made good his escape into the woods.
The man is fully armed and the
sheriffs expect a stiff fight before he
is captured, but they will renew their
efforts to get the man into custody.

erous man, insane, and will not be
taken without q battle. States At
orney Tracy and Sheriff Towne are
