ANSWERS LETTER
FROM UNCLE SAM

The following letter was received yes
terday at the office OF the Delaware
Americanization Committee, In answer
to a letter from Uncle sam" sent out
last week TO flrst-paper men:
Uncle Sam, Second Floor, Public Lii
brary Building, February 10, 1919.
Dear Sir | have taken out my first
paper on the 9th day Of October 1914,
and now / wish to take out the full
paper and become America citizen, will
you kindly help me how.
Yours very truly.
MIR. B-0 Do"
This is only one Of the many anxious
Inquiries that have been coming in 10
the committee during the past few days
from men who wish TO become citizens
and need TO be helped how" One was
an Italian, who was born in the terri
tory known as italia irredenta," and
was sorely grieved when told that as a
subject Of Austria, he was technically
an enemy alien and could not become
an American citizen at present. Another
had been told he must send clear to De-
troit for witnesses before he could take
out his 1nal papers, but It was found
that this was not necessary in his
case. Another lives several miles out
side Of Wilmington, but will come In
for lessons If no class can be held near
his home.
A number Of men and women had TO
be turned away from classes on Thurs
day night for lack Of SUFFICIENT facilities.
The announcement that a waiting list
has been established has made a pro-
found impression on those who are al
ready enrolled, as they realize that ir-
regular attendance will mean that their
places will be given 10 others. One
man in a class at Old Swedes' parish
house has arranged 10 have his wife
hold down his place for him when he
IS Obliged to'work at night, so that at
least the opportunity shall not 60 out
OF The family.
Some Of the classes on Thursday
night held special celebration in
honor Of Washington's birthday. At
School No. Z. 1926 pupils, including
Spaniards, Italians. Hebrews, Hungar-
ians, Germans and Russians, Joined In
the singing Of patriotic songs. Miss
Annabel Groves contributed her ser
vices as accompanist, and several high
school students. former pupils Of No.
I, entertained the group with violin
music. A short talk on George Wash
ington was given by the principal, Mrs.
Dorothy Willard.
Elaborate pre-lenten festivities are
planned by the pupils Of several Of the
centers- for next week.
