DUR FOREIGN BORN
CITIZENS

several occasions during the past
years We have had demonstrations
Wheeling Of our foreisn-boru citi-
rs, and many Of our native population
have undoubtedly been surprised TO see
the large conttngents Of foreign descent
that have been gathered on these oeca-
sions. Yesterday q very striking dem
onstra:ion was made by the Ukrantans
Of Wheeling. Several hundred sturdy.
ywell-set.up and vigorous men vers in
line and took part In the subsequent
meeting. Five years ago not one man
in ten in Wheeling could have told
where the Ukraine was had he been
asked. The Ukraine was not a political
entity. II was only a geographical di-
vision OF the great Russian empire. So
far as most OF US knew. IL had no dis
tinc.ive national characteristics and no
national history. but the Ukraine has
suddenly developed into an important
factor in the worlds affairs. and we find
that VIC have among US a very consider
able contingent OF Ukranians by birth.
We have. in fact. in this industrial
community a pretty active little melt
ing pot OF our own. and one OF tho
duties OF our more fortunate citizens
Is TO keep the hrrs burning under tho
melting pot all the time. to the end
that these thousands Of men. women
and CHILDREN who have come to US from
distant lands may have the advantages
of education in the English language
and IN understanding OF tn" duties and
porsitilitics which fall upon them
when ;hrv come here and become citi-
zcns.
We ar" not doing a great deal in this
section to help tho new immigrant.
SOM" time ago W" hoard som" talk Of .
campaign Of Am"ricanlzaiton. Wheel
inE can we'll afford to put on such
campaign.

WORLD PROHIBITION

few days and Is proposed to include
every precinct Of IN" forty-eight states

no means so fantastic a dream as pro-
hibition for the United States might
have seemed i've years ago. Without
question. N" developments of IN" war

been numbered among many officers
who have been called down" for not
adhering strictly TO. uniform regula-

with a very comfortable fur collar.
The first time he. stepped out Of the

stopped by the military policeman at
the door

The best the general could do was
10 smile and hurry into the car as he
was late for his appointment but the
fur collar is no longer on the coat
Bishop Brent also erred as regards
to fur collars
Col. Groom, on coming over from
