Elks Formulate New
 Naturalization Plan
Nationwide Program Adopted to Encourage Aliens to
 Seek American Citizenship Education Planned

will also study the available facili- ties for education of foreigners who desire to become naturalized. Where such facilities are inadequate or lacking, the committee will provide additional facilities or will start classes of its own. Each committee will also hold public meetings on naturalization to secure widespread public support of this program.
 '@This naturalization program is a logical outgrowth of the Elks years of patriotic work and follow-up of its nationwide Americanism Week program recently concluded" Dr. Mccormick said. "Naturalizing the aliens in this country is concrete act of Americanism. If we can make good American citizens out our aliens we will advance democracy here substantially"
 This plan is not intended to re- place any present efforts to en- courage citizenship, Dr. Mccormick emphasized, but it is an effort to carry out nationally a project that has received only sporadic and scattered attention. Where Ameri- canization programs are already being conducted, the local Elks lodge will assist present organiza- tions in coordinating and making community-wide all activities de- signed to naturalize aliens.
 A nationwide advisory committee headed by Federal Judge Murray Hubert of New York, ahs been named to supervise this national program. Federal Judge William Hawley Atwell, Texas. William H. Abbott, San Francisco; former Governor David SchcoltZ of Florida; and Henry L. Warner, Dixon, Illin- ois, will serve on this committee.

New York, April "A four-point long-term, nationwide program to naturalize the aliens in this country was announced here yesterday by Dr. Edward J.

 The plan of the Elks contemplates the setting up in each lodge of special naturalization committee, which will find the aliens in its community, and will also seek for this movement the active coopera- tion of other community groups. It

France has the best army in
Europe - but breaking through the
German line on the western front
will be incredibly costly and will

What the rival powers plan to

course, unknown here. American
army men doubt that bombing Of
civilian centers will continue - If
for no other reason, they say,
simply because wars aren't won
that way.
1t is suggested that French and
British bombing fleets may make
the Essen munitions works and
the Skoda works in Praguge their
chief detectives. If they can de-
stroy those plants, Germany will
be seriously crippled.

that railway centers will be lead
ing detectives for both sides. Early
reports from Poland indicate to
army observers here that q prime
aim Of the German air force has
been to cripple Polish train service.
WILL HITLER TRY
TO CALL HALT?
1t is not believed that the Ger
man army will have much diff
Guilty in forcing its way to the
Vistula river, as that is the first
strong defensive position met in
an advance into Poland from the
west. The supposition is that
when, as and If that objective is
reached, Hitler will call a halt and
will suggest peace conference.
If Britain and France reject any
such overtures and continue the
war, 1t is believed that the block
ade will have to be their main
reliance. Although this blockade
will be leaky because of Russia's
detection, 1t is still felt that in
the long run it will be effective.
Despite the fact that she can
expect some imports from Russia
and southeastern Europe, Ger
many's position is considered ex-
tremely bad in regard to food
stuffs and other raw materials.
The fact that food ration cards
were restored to before hostilities
had even begun is taken as a
sign of a highly shaky position.
In the end, it is felt, blockade
will win.
But that lend" might be a long
way off. Before 1t is reached, Eu-
rope may settle down into con-
dition that is neither war nor
peace - a cold, relatively bloodless
economic struggle in which the
struggle is a stalemate
and in which each side matches
Its resources against the other on
the economic front.

Let's not forget this hospital idea If
the demand is strong enough a method
of raising the necessary funds can be
arranged.
The coal mining bill which we wrote
about last week, passed, but with an
amendment, which will apparently
save the day for the small mines.
Mines employing less than five men
will come under supervision of the
State Mine Inspector who may close
those mines which are very dangerous.
1t will not be necessary for these mines
to install expensive safety equipment
and follow regulations Of larger mines
1t is our understanding that there has
been only one serious accident in the
wagon mines in the past eight years,
so State inspectors viii find little to
cause them to close these mines.
1t is this writer's opinion that the
entire delegation sent to Annapolis by
the citizens of Garrett county should
be congratulated. They have worked
hard for the people and the county
which they represent. Their conduct,
both in the State House and outside Of
it, has been above reproach, which is
more than we can say for many of
those from other counties and the
city districts. Although greatly in the
minority, the gentlemen from Garrett
county have done a good piece of work
and seemed to know what was going
on at Annapolis.
See you all in 1871. So long. e.

LOUTNGING
WITH THE
LOBBYISTS
Annapolis, Md, April 5, 1889.

Annapolis, Md, April 5, 1889.
The end has finally come-the Gen
eral Assembly of 1889 came to an end
shortly before noon yesterday after a
session which lasted twenty three long
hours. Legislators scattered to their
homes, leaving a record-breaking
mass of new laws and having APP
proved the highest budget in the his
tory of the State.
The Democratic State Administra-
ton will back off and pronounce the
work of the legislature a good JOB
well done. Those of us who cling to
the principles of the Grand Old Party
are more skeptical and will say that a
large part of the work has been fail
ure and will be more apparent before
long. But not to criticize too soon, the
law makers couldn't enact so many
laws without getting in some benefi-
cial work. However, much Of the major
work is open to question and the fu-
ture will determine whether it is bene-
fificial or not.
Much of the new legislation con-
Germs only the City Of Baltimore, but
too, there are new laws which are Of
vital Importance to the counties. A
$4,13O,000 bond isuue was passed to
provide funds for new construction
and repairs. The difference between
the old revenue and the new need will
be raised by a two-year SIT, 100000
program Of special taxes, based large
ly on a classified income tax on both
individuals and corporations. Diver
sion of gasoline tax money was ended,
thus providing about $7,000,000 more
for the State Roads System. Under
the new roads set-up it may be posi-
BILE to improve Route PIG, the impor-
tant connecting link between Routes
40 and so.
Two new conservation agencies were
created in place of the one commission
now constituted Although opposed by
many cOnservationists, the new plan
sets up a commission for the upland
area and one for the Bay area. Per-
haps Garrett county will receive her
single State appointment on the new
upland area commission.
A large part of the wholesale Bow
man Commission is ready for the Gov
ernor's signature, and another part is
in the Legislative wastebasket, tossed
there by legislators unwilling to adopt
the proposals.
Some proposals which were aband-
oned are: the creation of a commits
sion to make a study Of the tax stluc-
ture; the adoption of a general State
transportation policy; the creation of
q single unified conservation policy;
reorganization Of the State Roads set
up, and the consolidation of many
other boards and commissions.
Particularly in the elimination OF
