REORGANIZATION WORK
EXTENDS IN MANY CITIES
Bureau of Naturalization Reports
Stimulated Interest in Last
Ten Days.

Within the last ten days more than
100 cities and towns of more than
800 population have announced the
establishment of citizenship classes
in their public schools. to co-operate
with the AmericaniZation work of the
bureau of naturalization. This figure
is IN addition to the more than 1000
municipalities thus cooperating.
IhS figure is d record for a ten
day period. but Raymond F. Crist.
director of the work of AmericaniZa-
ton, claims 1t is a result of the nor
ma! growth of AmericaniZation ac-
tlN1t1eS. The war has stimulated q
great interest in AmericaniZaton. he
says. largely because of the great
number of Aliens who entered the
American Army. and the number OF
aliens in the schools is increasing
at a surprising rate.
a further index of the growth of
AmericanlZation work appears in the
fact that last year the number of
persons natnraliZed. apart from 200
600 naturaliZed in the military serv-
ice. was twice as great as in the year
before. Sympathetic relations be-
tween employer and cmploye. cul-
tivated through their cooperation
during the period of war production.
were also effective. Mr.. Crst believes
i'll promoting iNtereSt in citizenship.
Last year 100000 aliens We're reached
through the preparatory classes in the
schools. and it is expected that when
figures for the current year are made

PLANS HUGE MERCY FLEET
TO BEAR FOOD TO EUROPE
United States Sets Aside 1,500, 900
Tons Of Shipping for War
Worn Countries.

The United States Is going to send
to Europe the biggest mercy fleet
the world has ever dreamed Of. To
provide food for the starving of many
war-worn countries and others fam
ished by war conditions the United
States had set aside more than 1,50O,-
900 tons of shipping.
In order that this giant fleet may
give most economic service and to
save several weeks on some trips
overseas, several experts have been
sent abroad to expedite the turn
around" of the American vessels. and
thus compensate in some measure for
the withdrawal of these vessels from
trade.
Still more tonnage Is desired by
directors of European relief and prob
abIy will be allocated next month.
Thus far in April $4,000 tons have
been added to the ENERGY fleet" sail
ing to ports on the North sea, the
Mediterranean and the Adriatic. Vir-
tually the entire relief work has been
taken over by the United States
Great Britain confining its efforts to
assisting France and Italy.
Crews already have been assem-
bled in England to man 100000 tons
of German passenger ships soon to
be turned cover to the United States
All of the vessels will be put to car

IS ALIGNED
AGAINST FARE RAISE
Citizens Association Voices Indig-
nation at Proposed Zone Ar
rangement.

Petworth citizens are opposed to any
proposal permitting the street railwa Y
companies of the city to increase their
fares. especially the one which pro-
vides for a. zone system.
At the meeting last night of the
Petworth Citizens Association, dur
ing which members voiced their in
dignation at what they termed the
proposed discrimination against Pet
worth. resolution was adopted pro-
testing against any advance in fares.
and the zone system in particular.
The executive committee of the as
sociation was directed to place the
resolution of protest with the Public
Utilities Commission. The committee
will attend the conference Friday
night in the boardroom of the Dis
trict building between the officers of
thew ashington Railway and Elec-
tricsCompany and representatives of
the.citizens' bodies of the city. W. l..
Rhoads, chairman of the Petworth
nit long list of reasons why an in
creased fare should not be granted
According to the zone plan Petworth
is placed in the second zone. which
would necessitate the paying of
double fare.
The schoolhouse in Shepherd street
was crowded with men and women
last night and the many speakers de-
nounced the zone plan as unwarranted
and unfair. and as gross discrimi-
nation against thriving and thich1y
populated section occupied by home
builders. 1t was sugge-.ed that if the
zone system is to be established the
frst zone should not stop at Park
road as now planned. but should be
extended more than a mile north Of
that point.
The speakers explained that their
opposition to the plan was not
prompted by selfish motives. but by
the feeling that the plan is mani
festly unjust and because of the be-
lief that the company. which serves
that section. is not entitled to this
increased revenue.
The executive committee was in
structed to start making plans for
the celebration to be held in the COM
munity on July 4 next. The associa-
ton proposes to observe this occa-
sion in a manner this year that will
eclipse any former demonstrations in
connection with Independence day.

bers of a movement to be started for
a new schoolhouse, with facilities for
ulation. He announced, also. that

j. s. TRADE GOOD
WITH ARGENTINA
R. S. Barrett of Buenos Aires
Embassy Says Exports.
Will Be Large.

American trade will continue to hold
it's own in Argentina for many years.
Robert :. Barrett. comm ercial at
tache to the United States embassy
in Buenos Aires, declares in a report
to the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce.
Mr.. Barrett said firms in the United
States We're coming to a better under
standing of their South American
trade, because hey were sudNlne It's
needs. Increased credit facilities are
being arranged and closer relations
achieved by the establishment Of
branch houses in Latin America and
buying offices in the United States.
He warned. however. that competl-
tive freight rates, trained men aoSo-
lutte honesty and investment IN South
American securities were necessary
TO maintain the position which nited
States goods now hold in the coun-
tries to tht south of tine equator.
While perhaps the United states
percentage of the total imports INTO
Argentina may not be so large as 1t
has been in the past four years dur
ing which competition from European
countries was greatly affected by the
war. the value of its exports to Ar
gentina will be larger in the next
few years than ever before. Mr.. Bar
rett said.
1T cannot be expected that the
United States will continue to supply
Argentina with the greater part of its
imports of cotton and woolen goods,
glassware, chinaware. drugs. heavy
chemicals. cardboard and cerain raw
materials. when normal conditions are
restored in Europe. but. on the other
hand imports of such goods as iron
and steel, lumber. petroleum prod
ucts. machinery. furniture. boots anG
shoes. cement. automobiles. office sun
plies and specialties. in which Amer
lea had a large part before the war
and which have been reduced by war
conditions, will he greatly increased.

BOERSIANER'S
COM MENT ON
BUSINESS
By BOERSIANER.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA represents
tive Of Morgan, Harjes & Co., of Paris,
is in Chicago proposing what he calls
a ''co-operative corporation;" a euphe-
mistic title of a company which is to
sell five-year debenture bonds issued
by French industrialists and CONNER
cial enterprises generally; the pro-
ceeds to be used in purchasing Ameri-
can foodstuffs, miscellaneous com
modities. and the material needed by
the French.
Thus far the reception Of the Paris
banker has not encouraged him. The
negative response is textually the
same as nearly all banks and bond
houses; the security could not be mar
keted here. 1t would not be under.
stood-or be misunderstood. Nothing
of foreign nature could now have
standing here unless it were signed
and sealed by the United States Gov
ernment.
The unlikelihood of such a suaran-
tee was stressed by the chairman OF
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee in asserting that he and his asso-
ciates were opposed to any plan to
extend further financial relief to Eu.
