 While realization may be a long way of, one hears stories of plans for new railroad station in Danielson and of changes in the approaches from both north and south that would ma- terialy alter the present layout of that section of the borough.

 rivals of aliens in those IA years ag-
 gregated 15,6S9,0Q0, of whom more
 than 6,000,000 were British and Irish
 and 5,125000 were Germons which shows that one alien out of every three arriving in America during
 more than a century of our existence was German.
 Since 1890 the trend has been vary different. With more than 17,000.0e0 immigrant arrivals since that date,
 only 1,023,0 900 have been Germans. If from this number a proper deduction is made for those who returned to their homeland and those who have died since their arrival, it will be seen that there are fewer than a mil-

Where Americans Game From.

High hope for, the proposed Amer icanization program is held out by study of the remarkable way the United States has absorbed, the amazingly large foreign element of its population" says bulletin from the National Geographic Society.
 In describing the volume of this influx, not generally realized, which was halted by the European war, the bulletin quotes from a communication to the Society as follows
 'Who can estimate our debt to i'm migration? Thlrty-three million peo- pie have made the long voyage from alien shores to our own since 1t was proclaimed that all men are born free and equal, and liberty's eternal fire was kindled first on American soil. It is as if half the former German Elm pire should embark for America, or all of pre-war England, except the county of Kent It is as if all the population of all the States of the United States west of the MissIssip- | pi, plus that of Alabama, should have come bodily to America.
 History records no similar move ment of population which in rapidity or volume can equal this. Compared | to it, the hordes that invaded Europe l 1 they were insignificant.

notwithstanding the way the peo-

to be sold on a campaign OF this
character, only eight States have
proposed bond issues based on this
plan.
In a country the size Of the United

either the good roads question is not
understood by the public or we are
allowing other activities and duties

a situation that should be remedied

Just as the people OF Illinois were
sold on Good Roads before they went

been made for speeches.
Without a doubt, the same patri-
