FITTING ALIENS AS
USEFUL CITIZENS
Bureau Of Naturalization Tries
to Solve Problems.
STATISTICS PROVE. AMAZING

During the Eight Years Of Federal su-
pervision 100000 Foreigners Have
Asked For Citizenship, and Over Half
of These Signify Intention of At
tempting to Take Out Their Papers.
ashington.-Nearly 100000 for
eigners have asked for citizenship dur
ing the first eight and three-quarter
years of federal supervision of the
naturalization law, according to a state
ment issued by the bureau of natural
ization of the department of labor.
Nearly 100000 of these have declared
their intention or taken out their first
papers. Something over 10000 have
asked for final papers, and of these
about 650,000 have been admitted to
citizenship. During the same period
upward of $1,000 foreigners have been
refused permission to citizenship, over
one-half of these because of mental
and moral unfitness.
While the foregoing figures indicate
a large number coming forward for
citizenship, says the bureau, the num-
Der does not appear relatively very
large when 1t is known that in 1910
there were nearly 100000 foreigners
in this country, that of this number
100000 were not citizens and that
the foreign body has been increased
nearly 100000 annually since then.
BY far the larger portion Of the for
elgn residents have retained their al
legiance to the sovereignty of their
birth, and, as it appears, many of these
are ready to respond to the call Of
these sovereignties. Many have gone
back who had declared their intention.

SAYS He INVENTED
UNSUITABLE SHIP
But Pittsburgh Man Refuses to
Tell Of What It Is Made.

Pittsburgh.-A battleship that can
not be sunk has been invented by a
Pittsburgh man whose identity is kept
secret by his attorney, John C. Thomp-
son. The material out of which the
unsuitable" ship Is to be manufac-
tured is also a secret. Plans and speci-
ications have been placed in the hands
of the secretary of the navy, according
to Mr.. Thompson.
Mr.. Thompson says his client has re-
ceived a letter from Secretary Daniels
stating that as soon as the new advi-
sorry board of inventors and scientists
Is organized the invention will be placed
before it.
1t is stated that the inventor depends
almost exclusively on the interior con-
struction of the ship for his results.
Under his plans all the craft Of the
United States navy would remain the
same to all outward appearances, but
all would be unsuitable. They would
carry just as many guns as at present,
but their armor would not be as heavy
as now.
According to the inventor, a battle
ship equipped with his invention would
be practically invincible In battle be-
cause no matter how many times the
ship would be struck the craft would
remain upright and continue to float.

METEOR'S DASH WAS
A BRILLIANT EXPLOIT
Germans, Hemmed In, Escaped
on a Morse Merchantmen.

Berlin.-The story of a naval exploit
which matches In daring the spectacu-
lar rovings of the Emden, the Prince
Eitel and other German commerce de-
stroyers was told when the details Of
the sinking of the German auxiliary
Meteor were received.
After an adventurous dash in the
North sea the captain of the Meteor.
hemmed In by enemy patrol boats, sue
ceeded in escaping with his crew and
British prisoners aboard COM
Wandered merchant craft after he
blew up his own vessel.
According to private reports" says
a news agency, "the Meteor, convert
ed merchant steamer, succeeded in
breaking through the lines Of British
patrol ships and travelling to the DIRK
ney islands, $50 miles from her base.
She laid a large number of mines and
destroyed British merchant ships
FINALLY she encountered the British
cruiser Ramsey, which she sank after
a splendid maneuver. The captain of
the Meteor, whose crew consisted of
about twenty-five men, saved and cap
tured forty-three men from the Ram
sey. About sixty others were drowned.
British battle cruisers, notified by
wireless, pursued the Meteor. After the
Meteor had burned the Danish mer-
chairman Jason. with contraband
cargo aboard, the little German craft,
facing four British cruisers, stopped a
Norwegian steamer, transferred the
captured British contraband crew and
also put the Danish sailors on board.
This boat escaped from her pursuers
with the captured Englishmen. The
Meteor was sunk by exploding her
Mines"

RESCUE PATIENT IN CHIMNEY

Sick Man Saved After Desperate Strus-

Philadelphia edged halfway down

used as a mems medical ward, Bene-
dict Strun, a patient In the Philadel-
phia hospital, narrowly escaped suffo-
cation while hospital attendants la
bored desperately to extrlcate him from
the perilous position.
What prompted Strun to get in the
chimney is a mystery to the hospital
physicians unless his mind became tenn
porarily unbalanced and he attempted
to escape. Strun went on the roof Of
the medical ward unobserved and
climbed into the chimney. Soon after
ward other patients in the ward report
ed to the attendants that they heard
cries coming from the roof.
Armed with picks, some of the at
tendants began to open the chimney
close to where the imprisoned man was
suspended, while others hurried to the
roof and attempted to reach him by
stretching a rope down the mouth Of
the fue. Just at the time when the
workers below had almost succeeded
In making an opening into the chimney
those on the roof managed to get rope
to Strun.
He succeeded in getting both arms
free and after he had got good grasp
on the rope was hauled to the top.

BUYING SHEEP IN KANSAS.
Farmers See Food For Million In Fields
of Flattened Grain.

Topeka Floods can't keep Kansas
down. Most states would have raised
the white flag over the heavy grain loss
from rain and floods. but Kansas has
the old ensign flying over the fort.
Grain that lies on the ground, that
the hail and the winds and rain have
knocked fat, is to be converted into
mutton. From every county farmers
are sending orders for sheep. and with
in thirty days there will be more than
a million sheep feeding throughout the
state.
Along every valley in the state I'M
precedented rains sent the water out
across the fields when the grain should

ANTHONY CAMINETTI, COMMISSIONER OF
IMMIGRATION.
Some of them afterward returned and
presented themselves for admission.
Judges of the naturalization courts
have held that such absence from this
country in the armies and fighting
under their native allegiance broke
the continuity of residence for natural
iZation purposes and denied their APP
plications.
Among the approximately 100000
foreign alien residents, 1,65O,361 are
classed as illiterate. These are the
natural prey of the designing and
scheming foreigners and natives as
well at every turn. They compel them
to pay tribute, both In cash and blood,
for every service, both real and imag-
ined, and in the qualification of their
desires, however INSCRIPTIONS or I'M
natural. For years this condition has
been studied by the bureau of natural
ization in its application to the adj
ministration of law. 1t is safe to say
that, although $1,000 foreigners have
been refused citizenship because of
mental and moral unfitness, at least
that many have been admitted In spite
of these deficiencies during the period
of federal supervision. The courts
have been reluctant to refuse citizen
ship to a candidate even though he
be ignorant of our institutions or of
the privileges conferred upon him.
Especially is this so where there are
no facilities offered by the cities
and towns where the petitioners live
for overcoming these defects. In many
places the public schools have, under
the inspiration of the bureau, opened
their doors to the foreigner and taught
him the duties of citizenship. and In
these places the courts have refused
citizenship unless the candidates could
come up to the higher standard brought
about by federal supervision. These
have been tried with success.
During the last year over 335,000 for
eigners declared their intention and Pc
titioned for naturalization. This is the
high water mark since federal supervl-
sion. The federal census shows that
the foreign population is many times
greater than the number who come for

the proportion of candidates for citi-

in some states it is as low as per cent

ers who take out their first papers and
those who become citizens.

LEANS FROM CAR; SAVES GIRL.

SHilu w SSNF'SN''
New York.-The presence of mind
and courage of James Lavelle. mo-
torman on one of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Bath Beach trains, saved the
life of an unidentified little girl, four
years old, who mistook the space be-
tween the rails of the West End line
for a promenade and left the sidewalk
TO walk there.
Lavelle was taking his train from
Coney Island, loaded with women and
children, when near Forty-first street,
on New Utrecht avenue, he saw the
child about forty feet ahead. The
trains at this spot run on the surface
Of the street. Lavelle blew his whis-
tie, but the child apparently did not
hear. He damned on the emergency
brakes and then, realizing that he
could not stop in time, ran to the front
platform and, reaching forward,
caught hold of the little girl. He drop
ped her to one side. She escaped with
only few slight bruises.

TIME FOR PLANTING ALFALFA
Best Results Secured by Doing Work
in Wettest Season of the Year
Avoid Crust on Soil.

1t is very important when planting
the seed that no crust should form
above it., therefore it is advisable
when using press drill to plant only
when the top inch is dry. The drill
with chain drags should be used in
clay soil or in moist weather. Half
an inch to an inch is the best depth
to plant it in sandy soil, but In clay
loan even less is better. The best
time to plant alfalfa is the wettest
season of the year. The seed is small
it cannot be put in very deep, and If
it sprouts and then dries out before
the next rain comes it is gone. For
this reason we do not recommend fall
planting.
Some have been successful with late
planting and recommend it to their
neighbors, but taking it by and large
we find that only about 40 per cent
obtain a stand, while spring planting
gives over rs, when the blowing and
other work has been properly done,
