VisiboT Says America
 Has Many Deficiencies

New York.-Israel Zaugwill, speak. Ing before the League of Political Edu. cation thls week on what he thought of America, said there are more cranks to the square mile here than any other country in the world. He said there was more honor and justice ard dignity in Englat.d than in America. He de- clared the ku klux klan to be a sort of exaggerated Boy Scout movement which would soon be laughed out of existence. Everything in America is less efficient than in England.
 ''The mails, press, railroads and your Central Park are disgrace to Amer jeans, who th,nk without acting and act without thinking. They have no sense of shame, young girls showing their bare legs and breasts in public with more depravitv than exists on the stage. American Sunday papers weigh four pounds and have nothing in them. Americans would be far better of 10 read the Bible and Shakespeare. America has the best educated people in the world and yet it Is a land of make believe. While America isn't the greatest country in Gods earth it has the greatest potentialities. and if America goes wreng ohe last hope of civilization has ffoBe, "-said the visitor.
 Otherwise he, found ehe country all right.

In Case of Division
 of Alaska Territory
Seward Gateway.

Alaskans residing in the Second, Third and Fourth divisions should in- dorse division of the Territory for numerous reasons, chief of which is the fact that division would mean that 8 considerable sum would be spent bv the government in read justments, especially if the First division retained she present Territorial officials and elected new set for the Territory proper.
 Division would mean that the north end will get governor, a secretary to the governor, a surveyor general, and ex-oticio secretary, a delegate to Congress, federal judge for the re- maining divisions; federal attorneys. clerks of court. deputy marshals, all of which we now have in the Territory as 1t Is, but in addition the northern part of the Territory would have:
 An immigration bureau.
 A steamboat inspection service.
 A lighthouse board, with it's many officials and vessels.
 A board of road commissioners.
 A United States land office.
 A bureau of education with it's inter- locking departments. including the ID edicsl and reindeer service agents. A collector of customs.
 United States public health service. A mine inspector.
 Coast and geodetic survey.
 Life saving bureau.
 Revenue cutter headquarters.
 A fisheries bureau.

Mississippi Senator Says Nation De-
 mandS a Lead for Europe.

Toledo, Ohio. Feb. 1.--Senator Har- rison of Mississippi, in an address here last night on "The International Situation" said he believed he voiced the sentiments of all Americans with out respect to politics or individual convictions when I say that we hope from the present tangled and delicate world chaos some solution will yet be found to solve the problem, restore peoples and countries to their right senses and hasten the return of nor nal conditions. It is the hope of Am erica that the formula be discovered and the prescription applied by Amer ican statesmanship.
 T am quite sure that with few ex- captions the minority congress will back any move that tends toward call ing a conference of European govern ments to study and try to solve the economic problems of Europe.
 World conditions have reached that point where a policy of negation cannot longer be endured. Decision, courage and fixed policy must be applied. The American people will not longer suffer- any other course"

.BLAMES EMPLOYERS.
 FOR UNREST TODAY
Henderson Says They Must See
 Men as Men, Not COSs

There is no possibility of the work ing man Of today taking an interest in his iob, work or position unless his employer takes somewhat of an interest in him, Thomas F, l., lien- dersan of the Lasalle Extension uhis Nersity told the members of the New Britain Rotary club at the weekly luncheon held this noon at the Elks' club on Washington street,
 MT, Henderson was an inspiring speaker and held the attention of his audience from start 10 finish, This was his third visit 10 New Britain and he was accorded rousing rec ception by the members of the club,
 Essentials for Personal Success" was the topic of the address given by Mir. Henderson in which ho declared that there IS a general industrial un- rest facing the world today and in which he cndeavored 10 prove what was responsible for tho condition.
 Rarkboncs ys. Mishbones.
 Every man wishes for succcss." the speaker said, but tho trouble with most men is that their wishbone is where their backbone ought 10 be. They do not think they can afford to deny themselves of anything or can make self sacrifices in order 10 become successful and for this req. son many men never do become suc- cessful in life.
 What we need" he asserted. "is a fresh baptism of genuine. old fash toned interest in tho vocation Of life and for the day 10 come when the employers are going to recognize the human element in industry" l
 Employers Absent Treatment
 Tn continuing his talk Mir. Hender. | son said. There arc many old New England manufacturers, store dealers, etc, who still believe in the absent treatment, who never so near their employees 10 see what they can and are doing.
 What they should do is to rec ognizc. not that the men are cogs in Inc machinery of life, but that they ire men of human industry. There is 10 possibility of man taking an in- crest in his job unless these condi- ions exist"
 If the employers will play the ;ame the employees will do likewise, he speaker asserted and conditions will be better all around.
 The young men and women who , To things without being told to do hem and who work an extra hour or , wo without being told to are the mes who will make a success of life," 4 lr. Henderson asserted. I
 In bringing his speech to a close r fir. Henderson said that life is aues- r ion of climbing and there is no stand ' ng still. It is either a question Of oing forward or falling backward. \ Life from the start to the finish is 4 question of growth"
