he is literally forced to this, for he

 Must Be American.
 The foreign language press in this country is coming to realize that in
 order to exist it must become Amer ican; print American news and views,
 interest readers not in what Europe is doing or has done, but is what America is doing and thinking. In the past that press was on the whole content to foster marrow sort of European nationalism, to the exclu- sion of American interests. The for eigner was only too often left tonh1s own devices, and he not unnaturally | fell back upon his own resources. Nowadays he feels he is becoming a part of the country to which he has come, that the old Europe is behind
 him. He must not, he cannot be coerced I by Prussian methods to forget hls home country-or rather his native country-but he is more willing than ever before to enter into the spirit of his adopted country. There is at present little opposition to the new current of American ideas among the 1 foreign language newspapers; they realize to the fullest extent that they must reflect the aspirations of theil | readers. The most enlightened edi- tors of foreign language newspapers desire. to make their papers American
 organs, printed merely as matter of immediate necessity ill foreign Ian ' guages.
 ! It is d critical time. It is a mo-
 ment for sober judgment and bal anced reasoning. The foreign ian guage press is an instrument of in \ calculable power. It is ready to bent I every effort toward the accomplish ment of an entente that is vitally ! important in this country the enten \ te between the alien immigrant ant l the American native. The melting 1 not theory has worked out only tt \ a limited extent; it is ill our power I to make it reality. There is al I ready to hand, waiting only for prop ' CT help and encouragement, means \ of communication with over ten mil 1 lions of foreigners who bave come tt II this country in high hope. We have Il onlp to use it. Suppress 1t, and Vt I cut the ground from under our feet

NICHOL SCHOOL CLUB.

Thursday afternoon the Club at Nichol school gave an interesting program. All of the little Italian chil- dren were dressed to represent Amer ican characters and traditions as George Washington, Liberty and others. The parents of the children attend the program. Following the meeting all of the women and older girls went to a neighbors house and Miss Miriam Jones, county demon sration agent taught them to make cake and egg corn bread.
 The Italians have not been particul- arly fond of corn bread but they took a great deal of interest in the lesson
 and all promised to make cake and 'corn bread and send samples to the teacher. They are very eager to learn
 new methods and American cooking.

matters.
 Some Were Menace.

II is true that during the war, ana particularly before the entrance into if of the United States, a part Of the German press in this country (nOt to mention the press of other na- lions. and even a few American papers) were actively engaged in pro- German propaganda. Thanks to the activities of the department of jus tice, however, such propaganda IS now practically non-eXistent How ever, it is not unnatural that these newspapers ar still viewed in certain quarters with some degree of ssu- pjcion, though under the strict su- pervision of the government, it is impossible for these papers again to agitate in favor of the enemy, even were they so inclined.
 As to the possible pernicious in fluence of newspaper merely De- cause it happens to be printed i'll foreign tongue, and the average Am erican cannot read it, it is absurd to consider the matter; it casts an un' deserved slur or the linguistic ac- complishments of our secret service. Tn all seriousness, the danger from a press that is as closely watched over as the foreign-language press of America, where (except in cases where special permits are givenD ev- cry item printed must be literally translated into English and filed with a representative of the federal gov- ernment before publication, is nil.
 It has also been urged that the circulation of newspapers printed in foreign languages is un-American; that it tends only to widen the gap separating the immigrant from the native But it must be borne in mind. indeed it cannot be too emphatlcallp stated, that newspaper is not a cause but an effect. It is the result of d demand The~-fcnaand' will cease when there is no longer a single for eign group in this. country that speaks it's native language. To do away, therefore, with the foreign language press at the present time is to bring down upon some ten mil lions of people the confusion of Ba-

bel If you would do away with for eign papers and books, you must first teach those who read them the English language. To deprive them of their means of expression in print is the surest and swittest way to in- crease communication by word ot mouth, and incidentally to antagon- ize them toward any attempt to teach them English.
 Were War Aid.
 It is impossible to set forth in de- tail the many instances where dur ing the war and the period immedi- ately following, the foreign-language press has performed signal services for the government. It has been not only one of the many agencies Ill furthering the work of the selective draft, the fuel administration, the liberty loans, the internal revenue, it has in many instances been the SOLE medium of communication be- tween the government and the for eigner who cannot understand Eng fish. One particular instance may suffice. When the president made his proclamation to the coal miners last year, an appeal was made through the foreign-language press to give wide publicity to the appeal. This was done, and the miners, most of whom could not in any way be reach ed and affected, responded to the call. Since the signing or the armistice, the foreign language press has en- tered whole into the work of spreading information sent out by the government regarding the em- ployment bureaus activities, to men tion but one of many. It is evident that most of the interested groups could not otherwise have been reach ed than through the organs of their own race and language.
 The alien who comes to America, Tn nine cases out of ten has no partl- cular- desire to perpetuate his ma tional customs or adhere to the ideas of the country has has left. On ms arrival in this country he naturally associates with others in his owl1 race reads the newspapers he can understand and associates with his fellow-countryman. In many instances

FOREIGN PRESS
 GREAT FACTOR IN
 SHAPING NATION
Immigrants are More Bead ily Reached Through
 These Papers.

For tbe first time ln the history of our country We have begun to ask ourselves seriously, is the melting not theory of America nothing more than theory? Is it possible that this country is not after all the maven of refuge. the center of assimilation we have always fondy believed 1t to be? Do the millions of immigrants from the four corners Of the glODe, far from entering into the spirit ana activities of America, merely collect in various sections of the country, cling to their old traditions and modes of thought, and even interfere with the development of American ideals and institutions? Is it no more than an illusion that the downtrod- den races of Europe seek liberty here only to abuse or ignore it?
 Not content with asking ourselves these momentous questions, some of us have even ventured to answer them. Every sort of proposal has been made; to limit immigration, to prevent it. to force some system or Characterization upon the alien al ready in this country; extremists ill some instances are clamoring for the suppression of foreign speech and for eign books and papers, It is safe to say that such extremes are advocat- ed by over-zealous and msinformed enthusiasts in the cause of America. and by those whom certain incidents during the war have, aroused to a high pitch of indignation. It may be well to inquire briefly into these
