Against a background of the Stars and Stripes, the tri-colored flag’ of the city and half a hundred little girls dressed either as Red Cross nurses fr in the costumes of the many nations/which have sent sturdy sons and @aughters to build a home place in America, Miss Margaret Wilson, daugh- ter of the President, presided last night at a reception under the auspices | of The Evening World Americanization Forum in the auditorium of Wash- | fagton Irving High School, Fifteenth Street and Irving Plac Miss Wilson, who waa clad In a soft white gown, made a genuinely pleas- tHe impression upon her audience. Ber voice, now gentle, now raised but Bever quickened, with the interest of ber utterance, had a particular qual- Wty of carry and appeal. She made few gestures and these gracefully unstudied, rathor naturally prompted by the sentence they embellished. Of her earnestness there was no moment of doubting. It was probably warmer than the audience had expected trom Sher and it made friends for her at once. ‘The epirit of the reception was to Brotise further interest in the utillza- tion of public school buildings ac community centres for the unification of neighborhoods !n true American. ism and to point out in how many ways such centres would aid in the Progress, the welfare and in the value of every individual.

As they appeared the post | band from Governor's Isiand swung | into “The Star Spangled Banner,” and every one'with a volce joined in. Every seat in the auditorium, in- cluding most of those in the gallery, was filled, mothers and fathers from the neighborhood with their children, and not @ few from further removed districts, being ready with their in- terest to apeed the work for general betterment. THE CHILDREN PAY THEIR RE- SPECTS TO MISS WILSON, At the close of her address, which was frequently halted by applause, | Miss Wilson received, first, a great bouquet of red and white carnations | from the hands of the Goddess of Liberty—at other times Mis Kletchka—whose flowing robe and golden crown well became her pretty face. She gave the flowers in the namo f the children of the New York ity Park Playground Association, A little later a delegation of Polish children, dressed in the costume of their anctent land oversea, marched upon the platform, and ranging them- selves in a prim, conscious dittle line, waited while little Miss Martetts Obocka presented the President's daughter with a sheaf of roaes and a handsome “History of Poland.” If, Miss Obocka just for a moment forgot her carefully rehearsed speech she did not forget her composure. She Just waited a minute, caught the wayward sentence and then went on, And when she had finished Miss Wil- son wont down the line with a hand clasp and a smile of thanks for every little child. And if there were more space available Just here, something very nice would be written about the last little Polish miss in the line, who was about four years old, pretty as a picture and wore a cunning little skirt that stood out all around her like a ballet dress, And, what a serious little face she had! Mrs. William Grant Brown opened the exercises in a brief address intro- ducing Miss Wilson Once, when Mra, Brown referred to President Wilson as “the greatest man tn the United States,” there was| long cheering. PRESIDENT’S DAUGHTER WINS PEOPLE'S PLAUDITS. Miss Wilson then stepped forward to the lectern and took charge of the meeting. She was applauded so ear- nestly that she had to walt several the Nation's strength “man power.” “HOME POWER.” HOME. any other paper.

Th nothing more important than this Americanization, If anything should flow to us from this great war it will be the Integration of our own people to make the world safe for democrac: President Willcox, who followed, said “The serious, vital problem which whether democracy can organize It- elf for efficiency to compete with » efficiency that autocratic govern- ment so well illustrates, The sign which is growing out of this war is the manner in which the democracies of the earth are getting together. They are realizing, 4s we are, that democracy is now fighting for its life “The theory of Germany that there is no such thing as right and wrong between nations strikes at the very root of civilization.

The heads of the big companies re- peated to-day thelr charge that the strike movement was purely another effort for a closed snop, and that it was squarely up to the Government to get on the job and settle the dis- pute if Government work is to go ahead.

He said in part: “The old sphinx used to propound a riddle, and if that riddle could not be guessed the one to whom it was | given perished. The same thing is| ture of America to-night—no one hand to win this world for democ- racy, on the other hand to organize | the Government in democracy. “That is a wonderful problem, a problem to make us all feel proud of being American citizens. How are we going to solve thono problems? As has well been said here to-night, there is only one way, and that is by getting together, We must have a united people, “There is no place where you can bring all the people together, where you can talk things out, where you come up, excepting the public school building that Is owned by all the people and controlled by them. “Did you ever stop to think that the school house ts the one American in- stitution we have given to the world? That is one thing we gave out. No other nation had @ school house when we started It, and yet we bave seen other nations taking it up and de- ping it. “But In France to-night, in. that wonderful jand of valiant soldiers (applause)—L appreciate that plause.

An other surprise was the negative vote of President Mathewson of the Bronx, who had voted for It two years ago, but was not satisfied to extend the|% system to all schools until it was more thoroughly tested, The deflection from the Tammany vote was not expected, since the Gary- iging of the schools had presented an issue for the Mayoralty campaign which Tammany eagerly ed.

Berkman and Goldman Indi- cate Plan to Disprove Conspiracy Charge, It became evident to-day in the examination of witnesses at the trial of the “Reds” that Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman will seek to show they did not act in concert in their anti+military propaganda, It will be necessary for the Government to prove ite charges of conspiracy by showing the two acted in unison, A lengthy speech delivered by Em- ma Goldman at the Harlem River Casino in which she denounced con- scription was read into the evidence by Prosecutor Content.
