"I wish to thank the architects, con
tractors, building material dealers and

cooperation they have given me and the

the program to restrict non-war con

Steel to Stay High
"A to the future construction, would

teel centers and the opinion prevails
that there will be little change in the
steel price soon and that It wllj con
tinue to be figured on the base estab

war period. While the demand for steel
for war purposes will be at an end,
there will be a big demand for steel
In ship construction and in railroad
work, as there has been very little de
velopment or new work among the rail
roads for several years and this will
now have to go ahead.
'"Hie demand for steel In Europe will
be very great. While detailed reports
have not yet been received from the
steel centers of Belgium, which were
quite large, it is believed they have been
destroyed by the Huns as they destroyed
the French mills at Iens, which was
the Pittsburg of that country.

LABOR
DEPARTMENT
PUBLISHES BOOKS FOR
BENEFIT OF ALIENS
Thorough Course of Instruction in
Citizenship, History and Other
Subjects Prepared.
Washington. Nov. 23. (I. N. S.) The
department of labor has Just undertaken
its first venture as a publisher of text
I ooks. A large edition of these vol
umes for the use of the citizenship
classes conducted by the bureau of nat
uralization has come off the press, and
several other editions are likely to be
necessary before the demand for the
publications is exhausted. With the
text book the government has printed a
teachers' manual in order to assist the
instructors.
The citizenship classes are now gener
ally under way, public schools being
utilized for the purpose of Americaniz
ing the aliens. The process is very thor
ough, for beginning with easy conversa
tional methods of teaching English the
foreigners are soon introduced to the
study of reading and writing.
Once a fair knowledge of English has
been obtained, Instruction begins In
more advanced studies, prominent among
which is the history of the United States.
The structure of the nation's govern
ment is treated in detail, in order that
the candidate for citizenship may gain
as- clear an idea as possible of the na
ture of the institutions among which
he has elected to dwell.
In connection with his study of aca
demic suDjecis, ine alien is taught a
great deal that makes his life in Amer
ica more pleasant ; for example, how
to guard his health and that of his
children, how he can spend his money
most advantageously for the household
budget, how to prevent accidents, and
how to treat Injuries or deal with emer
gencies.
The text book and manual at no time
lose sight of the fact that the average
alien comes from a country whose cus
toms difTer widely from those in com
mon use here, and the effort is made
both to explain the reasons for Ameri
can procedure and to make the alien
thoroughly familiar with American
methods.
presented to the State and County Coun
cils of Defense."
The conference which was called to
formulate plans for a more vigorous
prosecution of the war, turned its atten
tion to reconstruction problems upon
the signing of the armistice. The con
ference was attended by Bernard Ba-
ruch. Secretary of War Baker, Secretary
of the Navy Daniels, Secretary of Com
merce Redfleld, Chairman Hurley of
the Emergency Fleet corporation, Attor
ney General Gregory. Postmaster Gen-
eral Burleson, Food Administrator
Hoover. Fuel Administrator Garfield
and Judge Parker, priority commis
sioner, most of whom gave important
and interesting messages to the State
Councils of Defense.

ference.

doubtful If the 30 divisions will run be I
yond 1.000.000, inasmuch as many oi
the units ordinarily with a division can
be disposed of In the circumstances.
Secretary Baker said that the 30-divis-ion
plan was subject to change. He
reckons on a basis of 43 divisions ; an
when 13 of these have been removed
consideration will be given to furthei
curtailing the 30 left.
Thirty divisions are scarcely needed
from a military standpoint, officers
hold, since their duties will be chleflj
policing after the terms of the armi
stice has been fulfilled. A few thou
sand men could quickly dispose o
many times their number, should the
Germans revolt, especially as they wil
be militarily helpless without their sur
rendered artillery.
Yanks to Watch on Rhine
Hence, it may be assumed that th
30 divisions will be further stripped a;
a comparatively early date, when the
industry of the nation permits their
absorption.
General March showed that the Amer
icans, now aiming for the Coblentz
bridgehead, have traversed 50 miles in
five days and should complete the re
maining 70 miles by December 1. That
means that "Die Wacht Am Rhein"
will thereafter be kept In the Coblentz
region by Yanks, until the pease
treaty is formally signed.
Coincident with the demobilization
process abroad, cancellation of con
tracts at home and "over there" is
going forward. Generals Jervey and
Goethals and Edward Stettinlus are
in charge. Supplies, not needed, are
being stopped, and retrenchments
started.
Incidentally, March pictured Christ
mas plans for the men there, showing
that there will be plenty of cheer for
every Yank, for the Red Cross will
see to it that men overlooked in dis
tribution of gifts from home have
Christmas packages to show that they
are not forgotten.
Gift Ship Has Started
Acres of Christmas packages are now
in New York ; the Manchuria, first gift
ship, has started, and others will sail
at brief intervals.
In the matter of army reorganiza
tion it developed today the secretary
of war's annual report will not dis
cuss universal military training. It
may be, however, that this will be the
subject of a separate pronouncement,
and that it will be suggested when
congress takes up the reforming of i
regular establishment.
NEW
DIPLOMACY
IS
URGED
ENGLAND
BY LORD ROBERT CECIL
Attaches Encouraged to Frater
nize , With People of Country
to Which They Are Attached.
London, Nov. L (I. N. S.) (By
Mail.) The old intrenched Idea of diplo
mats that know only how to observe the
ancient rites of officialdom and make
a showing In society is passing in Great
Britain. Lord Robert Cecil, assistant
foreign secretary, has proposed these re
forms :
Encouragement for the attach to mix
with the people of the country to which
he is attached rather than with the few
fellow-countrymen who may be avail
able. Abolition of the private income test of
$2000 a year which has been required of
any young man desiring to enter for
eign office work, and payment of ade
quate salaries in all Junior posts, with a
subsistence allowance based on the cost
of living In each city.
Interchange of duties between the em
bassies abroad and the foreign office at
home.
Less copying of letters by the young
attache.
"You want the best man you can get."
Lord Roberts told the house of commons,
"and you must pay him the best price. In
the old days diplomacy was concerned
only with dynastic quarrels. Now there
is no dividing line between diplomacy,
commerce and Industry."
It is believed that with such a plan in
operation men of greater ability would
be drawn into diplomatic work and that
they would be able to give their govern
ment the real trend of opinion and events
in other nations.

this afternoon that a basis of 30 divi

called, has been determined upon for the
present.
General Pershing recommended that
30 be left in France, at present. This
does not mean that all the 30 will neces
sarily be in the group of occupation of
the Rhinelands, it was explained, but
it does mean that 13 divisions will be
stripped from the more than two million
men now overseas.
