water tore him loose and he SWAN and

the torpedoed Lusitania and scores of
her passengers to sink to the oceans

The note OF the imperial Ger

THREAT AGAINST
UNITED STATES
MAY BAR OZAWA
]. Wesley Thompson Files Brief
Opposing Citizenship Peti-
ton of Japanese
1'N0T MORALLY FIT TO
BECOME AN AMERICAN
Assistant U. S. Attorney Also
Advances Legal Objections
to Naturalization

II the grounds set forth in a brief
prepared by j. Wesley Thompson, as-
sistant u S. attorney are declared
sufficient, and IL the petition OF Takao
0zawa is denied, the question of whe-
thef alien Japanese shall be admitted
to American citizenship by the local
federal court probably will be settled
for all time.
When Ozawa, who is clerk
for a local firm, filed his. appli-
cation for American citizenship. he
was informed that the statutes hold
that only free white persons or per-
sons of African descent or nativity,
shall be admitted as citizens. 0zawa
did not engage counsel. but informed.
the court that he would conduct his
own argument.
Accordingly, he filed in the clerks
Office a lengthy argument. giving his
reasons why he should be allowed to
become an American citizen.
Mr.. Thompson's brief declares, in
the first place, that ozawa Is not
morally fit to become a citizen of the
United States from the fact that, in
his argument, he threatens the United
States with action by the government
OF his own country, Japan, II he is
not allowed to become citizen.
According to Mr.. Thompson, there are
three distinct branches OF qualification
OF an, applicant for citizenship. He
gives these as moral qualification, edn-.
cational attainments and legal require
ments. ~
That portion of Ozawa's argument
which Thompson claims Is a threat
against the United States is, In part,
as follows
what the United States will gain,
by humiliating Japanese wbogf orr
Uncle Sam assisted to become one
OF the great Ave pewers2 The United
States will gain nothing She only
create bitter feeling in the minds of
Japanese against the United States.
Thus transforming a good friend into
enemy
aOn the other hand, if the United
States treats Japan fairly. as she did
before, what will abe gain? Japanese
will surely respect American people
as she did before. Peace between
the United States and Japan will con-
tinue forever.
For the safety and honor of the
United States, sincerely hope that
the United States will treat Japanese
fairly"

So the agile trout, when he first
feels the hook in his mouth, thinks
that by bold struggle he can regain
his freedom, and thrashes the pool
with hectic energy. But Carolyn, with
all her lrumor, was a shrewd cool fisher
of men. Calmly, surely, she kept her
line taut. She had struck four mil
lions! Not for a moment had she lost
her composure. Slowly she spoke;
she almost drawled.

LaZily, to and fro, her feather fan was

Hall foundered again, wildly. ooh,

YES" she answered smilingly,

The point, Hall we'll knew, was in

down the room fretfully, making fer
vent gestures. Poor fish, He still
imagined he could get away from the
hook. Good heavens, have explained,

Now what?" She took a cigarette from
the table and gracefully lighted it,
pulled out the smoke, and yawned.

Guests were coming in punches,
now, and kept Hall SO busy for half
an hour that he had no time to plan
how he should escape from the other
two women with whom he must in
eyitably have matrimonial converse.
So far, he was not particularly anxious.

we are engaged?"
She looked at him with surprised
eyes. Her fishing was approaching a
climax. She began to wind in her line
to short length, speaking incisively.
'See here, Hall, you're not trying to
get out of it, or anything, are your"
Hall gasped, wearied with the duel.
"Now, Carolyn, let me explain just
how it is-Tll have to tell you some
thing| want to-hang it-you make
it so damned hard for me-what

Carolyn rose and looked him in the
eye. She laid her hand on him; and,
soft as was it's touch, he felt as If it
were gripping him like a handcuff.
Hall, see here! Are you trying to
get out of it, or aren't you! Just tell
me that!"
"Why-why, think you're carrying
the joke little too far, Carolyn, that's
all-honestly l dol"
Carolyn now had him at the edge of
the boat. She jerked him in with a
laugh. "My dear old Hail." she said,
and her voice was honey-sweet, I'm
carrying it only far enough to want to
wear that ring you bought today for
me. Where is it?" She actually be-
gan to feel in his waistcoat pocket.
He backed off in terror. Il haven't
any ring!"
