MAKES CITIZENSHIP ADDRESS
 AT AMERIcANIzAr1oN INsgIrur


 A special meeting of the Norwich Amcricanizatien Institute held Tuesday evening had an enthusiastic attendance Of old pupils as well as those now at the institute, nine different nationali- ties being represented.
 Joseph N. Carleyale, director of the in stitute made the address of the evening upon the advantages of becoming an American citizen.
 In part he spoke as follows:
 We are all foreigners here, born in distant lands thousands of miles away. We left the old country because we thought that we could make better liv- 1 ing and more money here. When we first came, br dream was that after we made good and saved up money we would go | back to the old country and live happi- ] ly thereafter. Years have been coming and years have been going and we are 1 still here and instead of going back we are fast buying farms and land and | stores-intending to remain here for good. Moreover, I perceive that most of us have declared our intention to be- come American citizens, while a great l many of us arc already citizens. I wish i to say very frankly that we have made no nnistake-we shall never regret hay l ing done so. In fact, I have never known in all my life any one who has ever taken the step of becoming an American citizen who was sorry after ! wards.
 Today we are living under the Stars and Stripes in a remarkable country, having a population of over 110,oe0, 900. i It is a land of oppoTtunfty-it stands for l liberty, justice and equality. The United i States began as a Union of thirteen states which were located along the At lantic coast. The total population to- gether by the Constitution under which the nation has grown to be world pow CT of 4S states, and recognized as the strongest in wealth and resources of all the nations of the world. At all times American citizens have enjoyed the right of liberty, the right of private property and the right to the pursuit of happiness 1 The citizens have always believed in popular government, government of the | people, by the people and for the peo- l ple." There is no class distinction in America Every man stands equal be fore the law; every man has chance iE America
 In a book called Who's Who in Amer, iea,'' giving the names of great mer in the country, one-third of these mer are children of foreign parents They | made good because America believed 1T a free road and a square deal to all.
 Our country is very big. It is the only Hand under one flag having more thar
 8 3,0oe 900 square miles of land The
 countries of Europe are small in compar ison with it. We could put nearly 1;
 countries of the area of France in tht ! United States, and 52 countries of the , size of England. We could carve three
 countries of the size of Italy out of thu state of Texas, and all the Balkan , countries south of the Danube could b put in California, and more land remain ling to take in Switzerland. This grea country has opened it's doors to you ant

 For that reason. declared the business man, there should be d big attca adanca of merchants and manufacturers and cit iZenS in general at the hearing at the council chamber at 1.30 Friday aft ernoon when Major Peterson will listen to the reasons why Norwich wants a deeper channel in the river.
 From Allyn's Point up to the city there is a foot channel, 200 feet wide, but this depth is hardly enough. The steam CT Cape Cod, which runs 10 this city, draws 13 feet. At neap tide with the wind in the northwest the water drops so low that she cannot get up the riv- CT. The channel width |, is not any too generous for there are only three points in the river where boat of her size can turn around. These are at Montville at a point south of Poquetanucll Cove and at Central Wharf at this city. What the meeting on Friday will ask Major Peterson to approve will be a channel of Is feet in depth and 200 feet l in width in order that the river may bt

 but safer for such boats as already uss tdhc river.
