APPROXIMATIONS,
 PASTORS SUBJECT

Hartford, March 1-Further to
 stimulate the Connecticut public to
 participate actively in the Americani-
 zation movement, the State Depart
 ment of ATnericanization has request
 ed the clergy of the state to observe
 Sunday, March g, as Americanization
 Sunday by devoting all or part of
 their sermons to the significance of
 the work of converting the foreign
 born into loyal American citizens.
 The departments letter to the clergy
 informs the latter that both Governor
 Holcomb and Richard NJ. Bissel, Chairman of the Connection State
 Council of Defense and of the State Americanization Committee, have ex- pressed the hope that the clergy will comply with the departments re- quest.
 The clergy have been provided with a circular giving statistics as to Con necticuts foreign born population, and which is designed to aid in the Composition of a sermon or talk upon the necessity of cooperation by the entire Connecticut public in the
 Americanization movement.
 After explaining methods used and progress made in Americanizing the foreign born. the letter of the de- partment of AmericaniZation to the clergy says that those who are still aliens must be reached in every pos sible way through every possible con- i tact. The churches of the state reach
 many thousands. If you will aid us, by devoting your sermon in whole or in part, to the significance and neces- ! sity of Americanization, you will add another item to the long list of pa | triotic services which have been per formed by S1e clergy of Connecticut, and your cooperation will be most | sincerely ppreciated.

AMERICANS ON THE
 MOUNT OF TEMPTATION

pr. William Horace Day will preach on Americans on the Mount of Temptation at the morning service at 10:30 tomorrow at the United Church. Through the experiences of the war, the people of America have climbed a high mountain of vision. The hour of insight is always follow ed by most periious hours of tempta- ton. Today the nation is tempted to sell out its new birthright for some mess of pottage. Every American confronts some kind of temptation. He is in danger of sagging back into the old life with a narrow, selfish pro- gram of living. Ash Wednesday this week begins the Denten season, a time of special thoughtfulness as Christians remember Christ's forty days of fast ing in the wilderness and His tempta- ton. At this service, the vested choir will sing Stainer's 'I Am Olpha and Omega" and Saviour, Like a Shep- herd Lead Us" by NeidIinger.
 The officers of the Sunday Noon Discussion club have been fortunate in securing Talcott Williams of Co., lumbia to speak on President Will son and the Lea que of Nations" pr. Williams has been intimately associat- ed with Ex President Taft in develop ing those ideas which have been Americas great contribution to the plan for the League of Nations. Be , cause the speaker is of such national prominence and will speak on the most important political subject be- fore the world, the meeting will be an open one, and women as well as men will be welcome.
 Moissaye J. OIgin, Russian revolu- tionist, is to be the Forum speaker Sunday night. MT. O1gin's chief work in the revolution has been in editing pamphlets, journals and papers.

TOO MANY WANT TO BE CLERKS.
Difficulty Finding Employment for Clerks: None in Placing Men in
 Skilled Trades.

Thousands who desire clerical oc- equations are an economic drug on the market. The placement division of the United States Department of Labor recently announced that it had no difficulty whatsoever in finding places for all men who had skilled trades, but that the majority of ap- pEcants for placement were young men who desired clerical and semi clerical position, which are the least paid of all the occupations listed.
 4 number of newspapers comment ed upon the fact that young men dis charged from the army and especial ly country boys, do not want to go back to the unskiI1ed labor and sub sequent small compensa ton on the farms, and they in great numbers are joining the ranks of thousands who desire to become office men, work behind counters and the like.
 Realizing this surplus, the federal board for vocational education in re- training disabled men endeavors in. every instance where possible, to in duce the men to take up one of the skilled trades for which he may be fitted, even though he has suffered i1npairments. By giving him a specialized education and training of ten in shops. works or factories and supporting him with an allowance O. S65 per month, while undergoing training, the board realizes that it is making his industrial future secure, and when in future those who have been injured as he has, but who have no skilled knowledge are probably being supported by their relatives or occupying homes for disabled soldiers or peddling pencils on the streets in the years to come, the man who has taken the retraining course will be an expert in his line, drawing the high wages obtained by such men. The status of the man retrained as skilled worker is secure. He is a respected and contented member of society, asking no favors and not weighted down with the feeling of in feriority and dependence inevitable to | those who are not able to make their ! way upon their merits. The federal 1 board for vocational education at l Washington is anxious to get in touch | with every disabled man who desires i to better his condition.

 MEETING AT CHURCH
 OF THE METHODUS

Planning for a rousing meeting at the church hall of Sts. Cyril and Methodtus church at 7:30 o'clock Sun day evening the AmeriCanization com mittee of the Bridgeport War Bureau has arranged for a program of pa trtotic songs that will please and in sptre the auditors. Mrs. Ada Tuck Whitaker and Joseph Wteler will be the soloists and the Women's Liberty chorus under the direction of Mrs. F. B. Granniss will sing.
 Rev. Casper Panik, pastor of the church. will preside and Mrs. Edwin c. Arnold of New York will be the principal speaker. Of her trip from coast to coast last summer she says: "On an overland tour there is oppor- tunity for observation. The first year of the war did more to cement us as a nation than 100 years of peace could have done. And so, in carrying the great Arnertcanization idea from the Atlantic to the Pacific. we found everywhere that war had eliminated the hyphen. We found only Ameri- cans, not all native-born to be sure, but people with souls for freedom who had felt the meaning of America, and many who came to hear us at our meetings remained to thank us for the word of encoura cement we had given them"
 The program arranged for the meet ing Sunday night is as follows:
 liberty Chorus. Mrs. F. B. Gran miss, leader; America; Keep Home Fires Burning; opening address. Fa- ther Casper Panik; solo, Joseph Vie Ter, Columbia Gem of Ocean; Lib erty Chorus, Freedom for All For ever"; Victory at Last; address, [ A ATTNa a-iN1 mold of New York city; solo, Long, Long Trail,'' Mrs. Ada Tuck Whit aker; Liberty Chorus.

NEW TUNNEL IN JAPAN.

Tokio, March IA bill providing for the expenditure of about s9,0O0,- 900 for the construction of the rail- road tunnel under Shimonose}i Strait. it Is reported, will be introduced in the coming session of the Diet. The ShimonOseki Strait separates the southwest corner of the Island of Hondo, the terminus of the central railway system, with its southern neighbor Island, Kiushiu.
 The building of this tunnel has been under consideration for a long time owing to the rapid tide which makes difficult the operation of the railway ferry between the main island and Kfushiu. The proposed tunnel will be three and one half miles in length, one mile being under the sea bed at a depth of 80 feet. The plan proposed includes a road for foot pas sengers.
