Foreign Born
in Camps Are
Americanized
Full-fledged Americans, wearing the
uniform of Uncle Sam. are being de
veloped at the U. S. army canton
ments; men who a year ago were
wholly out of touch with American
ideas, some not even knowing why
they were being drafted or why we
were going to fight. This is all a
result of the Americanization process
applied to alien soldiers, a process
which having once been hit upon soon
proved its value.
In a division at Fort Riley, Kansas,
there are men from more than thirty
countries. In this conglomerate mass
are included all races, all creeds, and
all manner of peoples. Some are from
Norway, the Netherlands, Serbia. Tur
key, Spain. Sweden. Hungary, Ger
many. Luxemburg. Montenegro. Italy.
Greece. Lichtenstein. Belgium, Bul
garia. France and Russia; and still
others from Portugal (Azores Islands).
Guatemala. Honduras, Denmark, Swit
zerland and Roumania.
Of course. Great Britain, including
England, Wales. Ireland, Scotland.
Canada and Australia, is also repre
sented.
