The Question Of Dual Citisenship.

The same correspondent who asked Tha Use
to express an opinion as TO the loyalty to Ghs
United States OF our American citizens Of Ger
man birth. and to whom we save frank an
swer, comes back with the request that we dis
cuss the question of dual citizenship, which, We
understand to mean the claim asserted by some
countries that expatriated citizens remain their
subjects despite the transfer of allegiance to an
adopted country.
The refutation OF this suggestion lies in the
fact that the United States recognizes no such
dual citizenship-that our country not only In
sists on the right of expatriation for those who
come here from other lands, but also accords II
to its own citizens who may want to give uD
their rights here and acquire, or resume, a
citizenship In some other country. So the ques-
ton OF dual citizenship resolves itself down to
the individual. No one protected by the Stars
and Stripes can be compelled to yield allegiance
Stars and Stripes prevent him, il he Wishes from
answering g call Of the country OF his birth. or
Of any other country. II In doing he is willing
| TO divast himself of his American citizenship.
Our original answer therefore stands and,
n our judgment, fully covers the ground. II is
cur opinion that our German-American citizens
IN case OF friction with Germany. which we do
not look for, would be no less devoted to the
American cause than were our British-Ameri-
Jan citizens when We had friction with Great
Britain hundred years ago. or than would be
our native born citizens. should they be put to
| the test

Raid of the Air Fleet.

The sensational dash Of the German airmen
across the North sea, to lombard English towns,
afforded the world q new thrill. II was not
entirely unexpected. for It has been talked OF
since the beginning Of the war. but its ac-
complishment is not the less exciting for that
reason. The place OF the aircraft in war is not
yet fully outlined, but it's utility for many pur-
poses has been established.
Raids are long established feature OF the
tactics Of warfare Sudden forays have always
been used by strategsts to divert the enemys
attention for a moment and screen some more
important move, and have usually been success
full. Mans ability to fly has merely been seized
upon by the military directors Of the world 5
armies, and an achievement that has not yet
shown any very practical service in other direc-
tions has become very useful in warfare. We
will quite likely hear more OF these nocturnal
long distance dashes by the flying squadrons'
of the several armies.

Publicity for Hospitals.

truth than poetry for application 10
Omaha. / know what ! am talking
about because my practice takes me into
nearly every local hospital from time to
time. And 1 am not running down our
hospitals, because they rank far above
the average in other cities and give the
patients as good and better, service than
they get elsewhere. but they can be
greatly improved. and with a little team
work made to stand out above them all.
The suggestion OF publicity as a rem
edy is likewise good. II some OF our sur
geons and doctors would speak their
mind freely about what they come up
against in the hospitals, and then some
OF the hospital nurses would tell the
truth about the impositions and exactlons
they suffer from the doctors. the man
agement would get a new line on the
proposition. and would probably enforce
several reforms which neither the doctors
nor the nurses can bring about by them
selves
Il might not be ethical to discuss these
subjects in print. but l know IL would
be healthful for the doctors. the nurses
and their patients. MEDIC.

Your League Was Not Mentioned.
OMAHA. Jan. ALTO the Editor OF The
Bee Your editorial state or Parent
is very misleading and unfair. TO say the
least. as 1t creates false impression Of
the good work which is being undertaken
by the National Public welfare league
in this and other cities. Your article
shows either a lack Of knowledge of the
work Of the league or a deliberate at
tempt to deceive readers not familiar
with the situation.
You ask IL we are ready to substitute
state for parental control Of growing
children. Pray. who is advocating any
such substitution? Certainly not the
Public Welfare league. Society Is right
now training too many children-far more
than are parents. The idea is to awaken
parents 10 a fuller realization OF their
parental obligations to their children, and
TO remove temptations and vicious sug-
gestions from the presence of the UNI
fortunate children OF neglected. parents.
Regulation and supervision OF public
amusements-dance halls. moving pic
ture films, theaters. etc.-take away from
father and mother none OF the sacred
duties of the home which they should
perform. but will safeguard immessur-
ably the children whose parents shirk
their duties.
Isn't II about time that our boys and

Bernhadi as Quoted by Jordan.
OMAHA, jan ALTO the Editor of The
Bee 1t is not generally known that Cen
eral Frederick Won Bernhard Cauthor of
Germany and the Next War published
in 1879, visited the United States during
the summer of 1913 In order to prepare
and advise the Germans of this country
as to the plans of the then impending
European war. Mr. David Starr Jordan
had an invitation from the German con-
sui in San Francisco to hear Won Bern
hardi give an address on May Is, 1919
The consul presided, and the meeting was
semi-otflcial but private; about 300 Ger
mans were present. No report of the
meeting was published as no reporter was
present DR.. Jordan says that Bern
hardis mission was to Germans in
America. His very evident purpose was
to neutralize the policy Of goodwill among
the nationalities represented in our popu-
latlon. to counteract the work for inter-
national peace. to prepare the Germans
for the coming war, which, he said was
both inevitable and near. and to con-
vince them that Germany's idea of war
Is righteous. and that this particular war
was thoroughly we'll planned and would
be carried out to the greatest glory of
the German empire.
Very unmistakable were his references
to the planned march through Belgium
and the taking OF Paris. He did not
mince matters. Quotations of morals. of
international treaties. of national rights.
he brushed aside. Law, he said. is
a makeshift; the reality is force. Law
is for weaklings; force Is for strong men
and strong nations
Perhaps his chief purpose was to adj
wise Germans in the United States that
Britain. not France, is in Germany's way:
that Britain would soon be reached, and
reached by Germany's war.
''Bernhardrs address was a little more
unreserved, more brutally frank than his
book. His work was part OF the cam
paign TO organise German opinion In the
United States and 10 separate II from
American opinion. That campaign was
begun here fifteen years ago by Prof.
Karl Lamprecht of Leipzig The same
campaign has been carried on in Brazil,
only much more openly. It's note was
struck by General Keim in Germany, who
preached the doctrines of faith, hope and
hate. Belgium was to be invaded for
the purpose OF securing Antwerp and
other naval bases from which TO strike
Britain. When I heard Bernhard
thought his words those OF another Of
the war-mad militarists. When was in
Germany last August and saw his plan
OF campaign adopted by the German
army. knew he spoke for the general
staff, and that they were all victims OF
the same madness"
DR.. Jordan expresses the same senti-
ments about the war as nine-tenths Of
the American people. The kaiser and his
war lords are undoubtedly suffering from
an exaggerated ego, the same complaint
that afflicted King George III when he
hired Hessians to- subdue the American
colonists. H. HEINRICHS.
