spected a number of thorouehfares
slated for improvement and generally
approved the recommendations of the
engineer department. There is very
little probability of the schedule being
materially altered. Work on several
streets may start next week. it is
stated.
The question of whether the Borland
amendment was to become effective

Matter Of Concern.

Y Another class of Americans whoss
safety must be a matter a serious con-
cern for the State department in case OF
Eoropean war is the naturalized citi-
zens who are passing from Europe to
the United States or vice versa. 1t is
apprehended that efforts will be made by
the belligerents to arrest these people be-
cause of their nativity, regardless of their
naturalization, and serious complications
may easily follow on that account.
There has been some discussion Of the
possibility Of utilizing American naval
vessels to supplement the limited number
of ships in the American merchant ma
rine for the conveyance homeward of
Americans who may be otherwise pre-
vented from leaving Europe, but Secre-
tary Daniels so far has not taken up the
subject for consideration.
