Federal courts MAKE
many new Citizens
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ll.-Federal
courts throughout the country are doing
land office business in naturalizine
foreigners, a rush for American citi.
snip papers, apparently partially re-.
sulting from war, officers Of the Bureau
Of Naturalization of the Department Of
Labor stated today From many large
cities come reports Of a big increase IN
naturalization work Some of the aliens
applying for protection of the Stars and
Stripes Indicate they thus desire to
avoid recall to their native countries for
military service.
New procedure because of the doubt
where victory will fall has been or.
dered by the Naturalization Bureau.
Figuring that the whole map Of Europe
may be changed in few months, and
that no alien now here can tell who
his sovereign will be in ninety days. the
courts are now requiring applicants for
naturalization to till in blanks on their
papers, requiring them to name their
present sovereign. Three months later,
when they take the oath of allegiance
to Uncle Sam, they may have the same
sovereign, and they may not, but in any
event change Of kings or emperors will
not hold up their naturalization appli.
cations.

.AUTOISTS HIT BY Raise
IN The PRICE OF Tires

The war will affect directly every
automobilist in Wilmington and the
| United States who is in need of a
new tire and will probably cause a
drastic cut in the manufacture of
all rubber goods in this country.
Advances in the prices of automo-
bile tires have just been announced.
It is known that the big nanufactur-
ing companies have advanced their
prices, or will do SO within a few
Gays.
The direct increase in the cost of
robber tires alone will be from 10 1-2
to 20 per cent, with the future Of the
trade remaining in speculative dark
ness. The big rubber producing
regions of the world are In South
America and the East Indies and the
greatest amount passes through Lon
don where the price of rubber for
the world is usually fixed.
The immediate effect in the advance
in wholesale prices will be a propor-
tionate advance in retail prices, as the
retailers rarely carry large quantities
or assortments of tires in stock, and
as the warning was so sudden and
short few had time to stock up be-
fore the advance came.
One local representative Of a tire
company, said that the advance was
necessitated because the war has
blocked the usual ocean highways of
trade and has cut off the crude supply
of rubber. He said that he had heard
that some small factories had already
been forced to shut down on account
OF this shortage, though from present
indications the largest would be able
to keep going.
This advance affects the business
men and the big wholesale and re-
tail stores far more than the owners
OF mere pleasure vehicles. Automo-
biles have become such a vital part of
many business houses that tires have
become a big item, and such radical
increases of 10 1-2 and 20 per cent. in
their cost mean a decided Increase in
their cost mean decided increase in
operating expenses and a correspond /
ing decrease in net profits. And the
automobile men hint strongly that |
THIS advance is merely preliminary.

London, Aug. 1.-THE war pro.
crosses rapidly. Fighting is now tax.
ing place in Alsace and Lorraine
Germany; Bosnia and the Styi
River valley, Austria, Luxembourg and
Belgium, Despite attempts at iron
clad censorship it is known that the
French have been forced to eyacuate
Mulhausen and that the German in
yasion of Belgium is completely
checked.
The German successes in Southern
Alsace were not unexpected. It has
been known that the Germans were
present in force on the French front
and that Austrian and German troops
were massed on the Swiss frontier at
Basic. Military experts pointed out
that General Joffre's army, even
though it were able to capture Neu
Breisach would be in danger of a
strong flank assault. The German
army north of Neu Breisach is enor-
nous, numbering more than 100000
men. There we're no surprises here.
therefore, when the admission was
made by the French War Office that
Mulhausen had been evacuated and
that the French army was fighting in
the outskirts Of the city and on the
plains adjoining. The outcome of this
battle will have a momentous effect
on the German plans. If the Germans
can drive the French back across the
border they can form a junction with
the army now in Lorraine and at
tempt their planned invasion of
France by the southern German gate
way.
German reports that several Of the
Liege forts had fallen are emphatically
denied. The Belgian legation here, in an
official statement, issued this afternoon,

clared today that they will not over
look the opportunity to chide the
Democrats when ii becomes neces-
sary for the majority to bring in a
special war tax" bill TO replenish the

cause of the falling off in imports

It is not the intention OF the minor
ity to obstruct the passage of the war
measure, but Republican Leader
Mann and other Republicans here in
formed the Democratic leaders that
the protectionists will be a bit caus-
tic in their criticisms. The proposal
to levy a special tax and amend the

publicans an excellent opportunity to
claim that the treasury would be in

took lunch in the air in the pouring
rain. They would have stayed up all

to make a landing. They had covered
more than 100 miles owing to their
taking various elevations to avoid the
air currents which would have blown
them toward the ocean.
As they came down they saw
Lackawanna lake ahead of them and
a mountain on the other side. The
anchor was quickly dropped in tree
tops and they came to perfect land

distance covered is about seventy-fiv
miles.
The balloon landed at $40, but it
was several hours later before tele-
