And| the voice is being heard by thou-!| sands of foreigners in the inter-moun- tain states. During the last few weeks there has been a decided increase in the number of declarations of inten- tion filed within the limits of the includes Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Denver naturalization district, which Wyoming and a part of Idaho. Fear that they will be sent back to the countries of their nativity has actuated many aliens to step up and file their “first papers” recently. In some places the clerks of courts have been swamped by the foreifrn-ton- gued men appearing, and this rush has resulted in holding night sessions in some places so the aliens may file their declarations of intention with-| out loss of time from their work. | The feeling that they are to be re- turned to their old country homes seems to be especially strong among} the Austrians and Italians thruout Colorado and Utah, especially, tho just where the underground informa- tion originated cannot be traced easily.

The result is that the foreigners have a tangible reason for continuing their | residence in the United States, and feel a closer relationship with the government. This change in sentiment on the part of thousands of aliens is re- sponsible for a drive on the parti of? the agents of the bureau of naturali- zation to assist the aliens who desire to take out their “first papers” or who desire to become naturalized.

FIGHT REVIVAL | Disease Is Recurrent, Say Spe- cialists, Now Seeking Ways and Means to Combat Re- sumption Next Year CHICAGO, Dee. 2. — Plans for | combatting another influenza epidem-! ic which is expected to sweep the {country in 1919 will-be considered by ‘health authorities from all parts of the United States, Canada, and South | America at the forty-sixth annual \convention of the American Public| Health Association which opens here | ‘December 9. | Members of the association say that ! all the influenza epidemics since 1729 | have been recurrent for from two to | three years after the initial outbreak. | For this reason leading authorities | feel convinced that the visitation of 1918 will be repeated in 1919 and probably in 1920. Also it is pointed out that in previous epidemics the second and third outbreaks have been jing the good news of the gospel to alization examiner, with headquarters} i} in Denver, and later these activities will be extended to every industrial and mining ristrict in the district. Agents are going to the mines, fac- tories and plants with blank forms of declarations of intention, or “first papers,” and assist the aliens in mak- ing out these correctly and giving de- pendable service.

The filing fee remains the same as in the past, $1. In conjunction with this move- ment, the bureau of naturalization is also exerting every possible influ- ence to have night and day schools established for adult aliens who are seeking citizenship, or soon will be. Thousands of classes are no cooper- ating with the bureau of naturaliza- tion, but it is hoped that classes will be established in every community where there is any considerable num- ber of foreigners, and the new text- books issued by this bureau are doing much to bring about this desired re- sult. LEGISLATIVE. QUESTION IMPORTANT IN STATE (From Lander State Journal.) The next Wyoming legislature will convene at Cheyenne at the capitol building Tuesday, January 14, being the second Tuesday of the first month in 1919. The solons are many of them busy brushing up their best Sunday clothes and acquiring that polish of finger nails in preparation for their induction into the law mak- ing body of the great commonwealth for a period of 40 days, which will separate them from the private and business life of the state for this period of time. During the reconstruction days following the close of the war, Wyoming, ,like all other states of the Union, will be effected to some ex- tent by the events of the past four years. Hence sane and wise legis- latlou should be the guiding factor of our legislators during their in- cumbency as the representatives of this state.

The Ministry of Public Service which has efficiently prepar- ed this data has, together with other official agencies, prepared a list of necessary industries in the order of what is deemed their importance. The | first few are called “key” trades, needed for use in other trades. The jidea is that it would be useless to re- ers ahead of the men who produce ‘steel. The trades list is complete but |controversies it might arouse. The fact that a man has a job awaiting him will not insure his early |release. The government would like to be rid of that class but it cannot handle more than half the army at ‘one time. hence a rigid adherence to) industrial needs. A soldier may be a diamond setter with a job to go to while his trench mate may be a rail- way brakeman without a job. The brakeman will be taken first and giv- en an opportunity to go to work. It is reasonable to suppose that! railway workmen, if not heading the “key’’ list, are very close to the top of it ana also that miners are well up. It is vitally necessary to demobiliza- |tion plans to have the railways in ‘running order and the miners . are needed to increase the fuel supply for industries and home comfort. And so jon. down the long list, until practi- | cally every recognized trade is in- cluded. | When a man has been selected for, | discharga he will be sent to a collect- ing camp, the most of which of course jwill be in France. He will then be sent to a distributing camp in England where he will receive his allowance for civilian clothing. He will be given a month’s furlough which will mean that he will be on army pay while getting located in new work. From this stage the Minister of Labor as- sumes charge. He will have the aid and cooperation of local employes, as- sociations and labor unions. Already long lists of jobs open to soldiers have been prepared. It remaii for the government, employers and unions to get the job and the man together. aces ee 35 The first woman’s club in New Or- leans was organized in 1884. pot Se The women’s clubs of Maine the ‘first to organize a State federation.
