GALVESTON, Sept. 30. —Fire | originating in the sulphur bins of the tremendous army of foreign- ers constantly coming to our shores, is the assertion of Dr, Grace Raymond Hebard, who held the steadfast atten- fon of a large audience at he Methodist Church last might, while she talked on “Americanization,” The church auditorium was anea with an audience composed of delegates to the federation ‘convention and towns- people, both mén-and women. The fed- eration most cordially invites the gen- eral public to all sessions during its meetings here. Woman's work during the world war proved her ability in handling great problems, Dr. Hebard asserted. America did not realize until the war came, how many foreigners there are in the nation who cannot read or write and who can. barely understand the language. There were 500 in one camp in New Mexico who could not under- stand the left foot, right foot command and whose right arms had to be marked with rags. Between 1911 and 1917 5,500,000 im- migrants came to America, a band which, if set marching across the country, would take four months to! pass a given point. Millions of foreign women are now voters, just as much as the native- born women: these women in American ideals. Naturalization classes, are being formed in thousands of cities, and when conducted with tact and sympathy are of inestimable: pvenetit. Dr. Hebard hopes that a fund to pro- vide for such classes in the public hools may be, appropriated by -the lllustrations. lizaion clas work were given from ex- periences which have come to her in five years of such work m Laramie, Dr. ‘Hebard spoke strongly against the admission to American citizenship of any race which cannot be assimi- Jated by the white people of America, ‘that is, that cannot intermarry. She dwelt particularly upon the Japanese menace in the states of Washington, Oregon and California, and the justifi- cation of the exclusion acts passed by these - states. Women’s hour has come, was her final assertion. Suffrage has given to ‘women political equality. In return women must shoulder the burden of Americanizing Ameriea, equally with: the men of the country- Above everything, now that the vote is granted to all women, Dr. Hebard urged that the women of America vote. | US RE AS Thirty-five private secretaries are employed to look after the private cor- respondence of the Pope. ———7“——_—— If the clouds were removed from the ‘sun, our luminary would lose all of its brightness.

There is now in the building fund, of the Salvation Army, $8,400, represent- ing every dollar of the money donated foward the cause last year. Some of these subscriptions have not becn col- lected, however. Ten thousand dollars more is to be secured for the bullding and $3,000 for maintenance. The cause is urgent, in the opinion of scores of workers who are organizing to back the movement. ‘The Salvation Army no longer makes a street appeal for funds but its program is based on a budget system which is covered by an- nual subscriptions. In Casper the need of a home has been emphasized on numerous occasions and the service of the army has been handicapped to a great extent by lack of apcommoda- tions which would permit it to follow up good work among the “down and outers’’‘and the poor and needy.’ Altho conditions are not as promising 2s might be desired for the success of the movement, leaders are optimistic and} point to the segvice that can be ren- dered with the advent of wintér weather if the appeal is siiccessful.
