HYPENATED AMERICANS.

Editor Fl PasO Herald;

the point of view Of some Of your many
readers auent the European war
Referring to the Partially Of the
United States real or imagined. to-

country and saved IL from dlSruptiOn<
Still another writer in a recent issue
Of The Herald. writes about the thou
sands OF German born citizens who
fought in the ranks of the L. : army
during the late war with Spain. and
afterwards In the Philippines. ETC.
All of this is very true, but 1 would
like TO ask any thinking American.
and when I use the word American. I
do not mean the hyphenated variety,
what he thinks would happen IN our
good old T.. $ A. If we should wake

In the face OF such facts. I ask again,
what would happen in our country IN

not mean to imply that the German

the only ones we would have TO fear
The foreign born naturaliZed citizens
OF any other country would be as much
feared in case OF war with their re-
spective countries. I mentioned the
Germans because Of the strong talk in
obliged in awhile ago of a possible war
with that country, and the fact that we
have such a great number Of German

THE SPECIAL CENsUs.

Editor Ell PasO Herald,
] have read with interest several ar
gumenus appearing recently in the FL
Paso papers IaVOring the taking of a
census Of FL PasO by the government.
The arguments in favor Of il all ap-
pear good. but it occurs to me that
there might be arguments against IL
which would outweigh the benefits.
The taking Of the census at this time
would Of course, enumerate the refu-
gees now resident here. both Mexican
and large number of Americans who
are normally residents Of Mexico. With
the coming of peace in Mexico, thou
sands Of them would return
Again, ii is suggested that our sub
urbs. outside the city limits, be in
ciuded in the proposed census, which
is no doubt entirely proper.
But in another five years the regular
federal census will be taken. and in the
meantime. from present appearances
peace will have been restored in Mex
leo and the refugees returned. and its
barely possible that the suburbs in
five years will still be outside the
city limits. and therefore not included
in the 1920 census.
The effect of all this might be TO
show a loss in population between 1915
and 1920, for the most optimistic boost
er could hardly hope to gain a popula-
ton amounting TO the number of refu-
gees and residents of the suburbs COM
bined.
II would be a knock TO any grow
ing city to show q loss in population OF
course the loss would not be real, but
would be on paper. but that is the sort
Of data hOmeseekers and people desir-
ing new locations use, and il would
take a world of argument TO convince
our rivals and the country at large
that the loss was not a reality.
At any rate the matter is worth
thinking about New Conner"

Preparedness! There is not another
word im the English language, whose
meaning stands Tor more in the future
destiny OF these proud United states
Of America than does this one and
most Of us are Just realizing tins TACT
Let us hope that the awakening has
not been too late
If Germany had not been prepared.

ct YOU nor / know what viii be our
destiny If We are not prepared for the
future If we were prepared at the
present time this senseless human sac
rifiCe in Europe would not have hap
peued and Japan would not be bringing
China to her knees. But we are as
helpless as a new born babe We are
only too glad TO keep out Of the En-
F.. rOpean whirlpool can you imagine
how lucky We are that we We're not
drawn into it, We ought TO shake
hands with ourselves But after the
war is over. there is absolutely no
doubt but that We viii have practically
all OF Europe as our enemy ana we
want to be prepared for what they
say or do. The measly sum which the
government appropriated viii not be
enough for our wants unless England
loses half of her navy and Germany
loses all Of hers in the present strug-
gle And then il Is only small be-
ginning
In the last year or so the govern
ment has been talking pretty loudly OF
preparedness. and Vet when FL PasO
wants TO furnish 100 men for the vol
unteer army OF the future in case Of
trouble, the government fatty refuses,
saying that il is too small an amount
Why. the government should be glad
to get any amount and pay their in
dividual expenses besides. But it is
too much politics. that is what il is.
And politics may yet cause us TO be
Inundated by some foreign power
Below is my conception Of "Prepar-
edness' as it exists in the United States
today:
p stands for People. our people so
brave.
stands for Roosevelt, who, our peO-
pie, would save.

Editor II PaSO herald
In view of your paper being so widely
read and noted for its absolute fairness
on all public questions, I am respect
fully asking space for the following
The New York Globe recently COM
menting on the all absorbing topic OF
said editOrially. under the caption
Soldiers. Not Policemen"
"A federal statute relieving the ma
tional guard from strike duty will ac-
complish more than any other one
thing for preparedness. We do not
need a lot of, schemes for defence on
paper. We need 10 make effective the
organization which we now have The
trouble is we have not treated guards
men as real soldiers We have not put
them before the public as an army for
national defence SO much as a super
numerary police force to quen labor
disputes Working people will never
encourage their sons 10 join an or
EaniZation which may be called out to
shoot down their neighbors and broth
ers. a few experiences like the recent
Colorado affair have done the national
guard unreasonable harm Such I'M
gracious service is unfair TO the guard
and foreign 10 its true purpose
And as soon as the public is as
sured that a guardsman is soldier
enlisted for his country's defence and
not deputy sheriff enlisted for the
defence of capital against labor. it is
safe to say that the national guard
viii at once gain half a million mem
bers- We have no right to ask
men to, offer their services for pro-
lection against foreign invaders and
then use them for a purpose altOgeth-
er different"
Tt does not appear to the writer that
anything could be added to. the state
ment just quoted The horrors OF the
Ludlow, Colorado. massacre, where
women and children were murdered by
the national guardsmen. placed there
by the governor of~'ColOrado. are too
fresh in the minds Of the reading pub
lie But this 1 would add. to the ever
lasting credit Of the great state OF
Arizona, and her governor, Geo W.
p. Hunt the criticism and harm TO the
national guard referred to in the Globe
editorial viii not be strengthened by
the happenings during the Clifton
Morenci strike.
If every state had governor like
Hunt. the national guard would have
plenty of men, and all that congress
would have to do at the coming ses-
sion would be TO provide arms and
equipment. Gov. ENlr is using the
guard at Clifton and Morenci to pro-
tect life and property, and they are do
ing it. Gov. Hunt will not allow. as in
Colorado. the guard to shoot strikers,
women and children Follow his course
and We viii have an army for defence.
