Of- ‘ £ ficials of the bureau were also sent abroad to continuethe work along the battle line, but the signing of the armisti¢e prevented i the completion of the organization and the aliens in the Army 5 are therefore being naturalized on their returnito this country. ¢ All told, nearly 200,000 men have becomé citizens under & the special wat—hme regulstlons which do away with the pay- ment of fees and with the usual requirement as to residence. These men have practically the status of volunteers, for they ~ waived the exemption to which they were entitled as'aliens and went abroad to prove their devotion to the adopted country. o/ Hundreds of conspicuous instances could-be cited.. The s bravery of the foreign-born members of America’s armies was demonstrated on every battle-field of the war, and’the: young men who have: gained' citizenship through the service in the Army are proving splendld ncqumltwns to the ranks of Amer- ica’s manhood. While the soldiers were abroad, moreover,;the Bureau of ) Naturalization devoted its efforts at home.toward giving the 3 aliens in the army American homes to which they might return § after the war. The naturalization officers aided many thous- ands of wives, parents, brothers and sisters of alien soldiers to enter the citizenship. classes in the, public schools which are conducted with the cooperation of the school authorities. Here a special effort was made to teach. foreign-born women the advartages of American methods of housekeeping and to improve living standards. ‘A compact and attractive little text g book, prepared by Raym(‘md F. Crist, director of citizenship, ; i features the home-making side of life, and is filled with:inter- esting and practical suggestions for the benefit of alien women. . Since the war the bureau has been completing its work in the military eamps and has redoubled ‘its efforts in the schools. More than 2;100 cities and towns are now cooperating with the bureau, and of these the 100 that came after the 2,000 mark was passed were added within 10 days. Motion plcturea, post- ers, information ofilcera, the- ‘press, and: coopera.tlon -of num- erous. civic are all @iding the“bureéau in its' work. One of its la activities has been carried out in coeperation with organizations of workmeén for the purpose of bringing alien workers into citizenship. =This is carried on through umbn - orgumzatmns and through shop committees. b..\..» 0. When the news came that the Ausman. Hawker, and the Englishmen; Grieve, had soared into the air at St-dohns in their frail biplane and sped away on their perilous attempt to fly the Atlantic, without patyolling ships to .guide and aid them, with- i out even a pontoon to float them if they were forced down to Sk the sea’s surface, the heart of every re-blooded man leaped in : his breast. That picture of the darmg shipmates dropping the under-carriage which was used ih making the start and would 3 have served to make a landing in Ireland safe, and sweeping 1 out to sea above the New Foundland cliffs, resolved to do or die on the sea and take the risk of disaster if they ever reached dreland, will live in memory. The risk was desperate, but the spirit was the spirit that is stronger than fears of:the flesh and triumphs over it, so that full success becomes of minor import- ance when the rewrd is made up.’ If, as now seems apparent, they tell short by only a few miles, the)r feat was hardly less i rem.u' kable than if. they-had actually reached Ireland L @ April exports surpassed the previous high record by nearly one hundred million dollars, it was announced today by the i Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commuerce,, Exports for the month totaled $715,000, 000, as 5 compared with $623, 000,000 for January, the prevxous hxgh matk.
