The contest for the good graces OF the
young woman apparently has been so
even that the most acute observer of the
hundreds who daily watched the course
OF affairs could not say who was the
fayorite. Neither Of the young men seemed

fections, but there was no ill-feeting be-
tween them. Both seemed willing to await

Alien EmplOyes,

To the E.itor of The Eve ming Star:
I read with much interest the article in
The Evening Star of this date, headed
More care in future mo information as
to experiments to be given by army and
navy officials" Greater reticence to be OBJ
served against foreigners acquiring knowl-
edge of our resources" This seems very
natural and proper course for this govern
ment to pursue in view of possible war with
one or more foreign governments but the
means by which it Is proposed to prevent
the publication of the operations of our
War and Navy Departments are entirely
inadequate. The Withholding of such in
formation from foreign officers and at
taches, who at any time are given only that
which the interests of the government per-
nit, will not accomplish the desired result
There is a source through which Informal
ton is furnished regularly to other govern
mentS, which perhaps heads of departments
little suspect, and that is through aliens
employed in responsible positions in the
War and Navy Departments and navy
yards. That the heads of departments are
not aware of this makes it no less a fact
A reference 20 the blue book and investiga-
ton as to citizenship of all the foreign-born
will corroborate the statement Some have
taken the oath of allegiance but have
never become citizens, and others have rot
even subscribed to the oath of allegiance
Let the departments make inquiry as to
the citizenship of employees if greater reti-
cerce is to be observed, and hereafter make
citizenship prerequisite of employment
