"SDeak to Aliens. -"

When Flint, Mich, few days ago decided to
make effort bring entire foreignborn popu
1ation of $4,000 persons into American citizenship
that it might be the first alfAmerican city in the
United States, one Of the most stimulating occur
rences of the big civic meeting which the program
adopted came in the speech of an elderly Flint
resident Of French nativity.
Rising to address the meeting he said:
I'm French, and I'm proud of it. have just
one criticism to make of this country.
THAT is, that apparently ever took the
trouble to interest himself in my becoming citi-
The foreigner. you say, is shy. That is so.
Therefore don't leave him to himself Make him
realize that you welcome him. that you want him to

There's nothing that appeals so much to a man
in strange land a friendly word, whether it
comes from friend or a stranger. If employers and
superintendent in business plants would think in
the morning to bid their foreign born workers
suits that would follow in the way of cooperation
and friendliness. And, by the way that is some
thing that need be confined exclusively to the
foreign born"
Anything which tends to break down racial bar
rers helps in the assimilation our foreign born
population. Too few among realize the extent

substantiated by the facts is clearly estab-
lished by the official death rates.
1t will be noted that New York islands
eighth the list while St Louis, where
strictfve measures were of very rigid char
acter, stands third with a death rate Of II per-
cent lower than New York, and Chicago
where restrictive measures were moderate
had death rate of almost 10 per cent below
that of the eastern metropolis
The relative death rates of the three cities
are not regarded as conclusive evidence that
rigid restrictive measures resulted in lower
mortality, but they at least suggestive.
Since the epidemic made it's appearance in this
country early fall the public has presented
with great of conflicting information and
advice concerning prevention and treatment. We
have been told at different times and by different au
thorities that it would be checkedby fall rains. by
dry weather and sunshine, by temperature and
by the advent of spring. Some have commended that
the most effective way to check spread to rigdly
enforce regulations against every kind of public
meeting. practically suspending business, and
others have argued that the less attention paid to
the disease the sooner it would run its and
the less serious would be its results. Different
cities tried different plans and all pretty
they were on the right track till the meeting OF
health commissioners in Chicago which resulted in
disagreement and failure to make any recommended

With Other Editors
a Slight MiScaIcuIation,


On April 81, 1915, the Chicago Tribune said edi-
toriay:
With Russia out of it, the rest of us could
never whip Germany
Observe there are no qualifications or conditions
about that remark 1t is not prediction it is a
statement of alleged fact 1t deals with relative
forces which the Tribune claimed to have weighed
and measured. with Russia out of it, the rest of
meantng the allies and the United States)
could never whip Germany"
But with Russia out of it, "the rest Of us'' whipped
Germany, in just seven months and twenty days
counting from the beginning of the fighting on March
81, 1918, to the signing of the armistice on Nov
II, 1918.
1.-THE rest of US" did not merely whip Germany
but absolutely destroyed her going military con-
Germ, and dd/ths while only a fraction of Americas
power had reached the battle line
There would seem to be a slight miscaIculation
somewhere in the MISUNDERSTANDING Journal.

Lessons From the Epidemic.

Not long ago the New York Times printed page
Interview with Dr. Royal s. Copeland city health
commissioner, explaining how the metropolis came
through the influenza epidemic with such
low death rate The doctor attributed the successful
handling of the situation to the moderation and good
sense displayed by the health department. Instead
Of closing the city up tight and thus helping
a panicky state of mind business permitted to

kept open and even the theatres were not molested
except where they were crowded and poorly venti-
lated Schools theatres and churches used for
the dissemination of information to the bes:
methods of prevention and treatment of the disease
New York's death rate kept down to "A per
/ 900 population and the health department prided
itself on having shown other cities to handle
great emergency.
Now comes the Illinois department of public
health with statistics from nearly score of the
cities of country from which draws the
following conclusions:
Within the last few weeks considerable
nubIicity has been given to the claim that New
York city. where influenza restrictions were

with one and one-half teaspoons
salt one-half teaspoon pepper and
one-half cup milk. Line melon mold
