 City Engineer W. II.

Bids for these must be submitted to the committee in charge by 8 o'clock to- morrow night when the bid for the contract will be awarded

The reason for the separate prico on tho construction work Is that it is felt that it might be of less expense to New Britain if the city did the foun dation.

from the guns of the boys in khaki or
those of the Allies. At the same time
seventeen other men, representing four
teen different nationalities, stood with
this man and they simultaneously swore
fealty to the Stars and Stripes and be-
came citizens. There are many idealists
who believe that America is vast melt
ing pot into which it is our duty to throw
foreign outcasts, illiterates, idlers and
human nondescripts and that the fires of
freedom will so change them that they
can be nodded into ingots of refined man
hood. This is noble ideal, but the pres
ent state of affairs shows that it is neither
practical nor safe. The Melting Pot has
given US great quantities of scum and
sediment and a somewhat negligible
quantity of the real American spirit. The
practice of naturalization by wholesale
should be stopped.
