America the Fatherland,

Finally, there must be prepared
ness for all that the future holds in
store for us by a demand throughout
our country for an undivided loyalty
on the part of the entire body of our
citizens, and an unconditional and un-
reserved acknowledgment that Amer
ica is their one and only fatherland.
Public sentiment must run so strong
and SO high as to make it impossible
for any one who has taken the oath
of citizenship to divide his allegiance
between the claims of this country and
those Of the country upon which he
turned his back long years past in or
der to seek home in this new land
beyond the sea.
Let us not shrink from calling
things by their right names, and, there.
fore, let us brand as traitor whoever
lives in our midst enjoying the pro-
lection and prosperity of our coun-
try and yet dares to express by word
or deed the spirit of hyphenated low
atty. There are welcome and room
within our borders for all sorts and
conditions of men. but no place and no
quarter for traitors"

CLARK IS WON OVER
T0.NEW SHIP BILL
Opposition to Government
Ownership Removed by
New Proposition.

Democratic hope for the passage of
the administration merchant marine
bill grew last night. when it became
known that Senator Clarke of Ar
kansas. who led the democratic revolt
in the Senate against the ship-pur
chase bill last session. looked favora-
by the executive heads of the govern
ment.
Senator Clarke. who was renominat-
ed for President pro tempore by the
majority caucus. after a spirited fight
against him based on his opposition to
the ship purchase bill. let it be known
that he would not oppose the new mer-
chant marine measure drafted after
conferences between Secretaries Nc
Adoo and Redfield.
Will Give It Support.
The Arkansas senator, during the
debate in the democratic caucus Fri
day. was asked by several administra-
ton senators for his opinion of the
new bill. He frankly stated that he
saw no objection to it and could give
it his support.
His opposition to the bill last spring,
he said, was because of its govern
ment- t-ownership feature.
The bill now proposed by Secretaries
McAdoo and Redf1eld contemplates a
naval auxiliary merchant marine, which
he could favor, and provides for gov
ernment ownership of stock only In
case private capital is lacking. thus
eliminating the dominant government
corporation feature Of the old bill. q.
Senator Clarke's attitude was mat
ter of optimistic comment among ad-
ministration senators last night, who
said it had been influential in recon-
structing harmonious Senate and pre-
venting a struggle over cloture at the
opening of Congress next Monday.

UNABLE TO DETERMINE
ATTITUDE OF THE U. S.
State Department Awaits Word From
Britain Regarding Requisition
of American Vessels.

Pending receipt of Great Britains Of
fetal explanation, State Department Of
ficials still were uncertain last night
just what attitude the department
would adopt regarding British requisi-
tion of the American steamer Hooking
and other vessels of the American
Transatlantic Company without prize
court proceedings. 1t is expected q
protest will be sent to London, but
Secretary Lansing wants to know. be-
fore determining it's form, the grounds
upon which Great Britain expects to
justify the action. Inquiries have been
made through both the British embassy
here and the American embassy in Lon
don, but no reply has been received.
Refuse Comment on Press Dispatches
Officials would not comment on press
dispatches. indicating the British ex-
PLANTATION would be that the ships
merely were being held without pro-
ceedings so that their cases might be
transferred from the prize courts on
this side of the Atlantic to the more
important court at London.
1t was pointed out, however. that the
generally accepted rules of prize
courts provide that seized vessels be
taken before the nearest courts, and
that due regard shall be had for the
convenience of the owners.
1t generally is expected among Of
ficials here that Great Britain will en-
deavor to discredit affidavits being col
1ected by the American Transatlantic
Company in an effort to prove that the
CORPORATION is owned wholly by Ameri-
cans 1t is recalled that when the COM
pany was in process of formation last
MAY the British government called the
attention of the State Department to
what it regarded as suspicious circum :
stances connected with the puchase of
vessels.
Suggests Use of German Money.
suggestion was made by Great
Britain that at least a part of the
money with which the line ships were
bought and registered under the
American flag came indirectly from the
German government.
The State Department did not feel
that it should go back of the applica-
ton for registry, though it is said sug-
gestions were made to officers of the
company that they make test case OF
one ship before buying a fleet. Whether
Great Britain now will go further in
her charges and allege that the owner
ship of much of the stock of the cor
poration in actual possession OF Amerl-
can citizens is not bona fide , sub
ject of speculation among o. .cials.

which did damage estimated at $1,000.

Unsatisfactory Results Noted.

In many cases of delinquency. the
Judge concluded. the results of the court
cases are unsatisfactory, because there
is no provision made for a proper in
vestigation beforehand of the character
of and relations between the parents
wherein the blame often lies. Diamet-
rically opposed testimony is hard to
sift. and the benefit of the doubt is usu
ally given the defendant, with frequent
consequent failure of justice.
The dinner was preceded by a meet
ing of the board of governors of the
club at o'clock and a business session
at 1880 o'clock. Resolutions of SYM
pathy were passed upon the death last
spring of Allen Bradshaw Fay of the
faculty of Gallaudet College, who. at
the time of his death, was serving
second term as secretary of the club.

Good Asylum for Inebriates.


The workhouse is the best asylum
for inebriates that l know off, he said
in this connection
Although Judge Latimer thinks the
allowance made to wives and cnlidreh
of such men as are sent to Occoquan
for non-support out of the proceeds OF
their labor should be at least $3.50 a
day instead of so cents, he neverthe-
less said the latter sum was a great
deal better than nothing, and that this
provision in the District code Is an
excellent novelty.
Another defect mentioned that ham
pers the workings of the Juvenile
Court is that no matter how great may
be the reform of unfit parents subse-
auent to their deprivation by law OF
their children, no court in the DlStrlct
has power to restore the children to
their care For that reason commit
ments made of the childen to the care
of the board of children's guardians
are usually for a short and definite
process has to be repeated.
In discussing the activities or the
court regarding delinquent children,
which, contrary to the idea of many
persons, is but one portion of its work,
Judge Latimer declared the great prob
lem is what to do with the culprits
after they plead guilty. which, sooner
or later, they almost invariably do.
Probation officers are limited in num-
ber, and the maximum number of chill
dren that each can properly supervise
is about fifty. The. method of compel
ling damage-infiicting boys to make
cash restitution by means of money
earned by themselves has proven ex-
cellent, he stated

ADDRESS AT BANQUET
OF SCHOOLMEN'S CLUB
Cites Defects in Present Laws, But
Shows Benefits Derived Under
Existing Regulations.

Not to get the boy out of the gang.
but into the right sort of a gang"
was an expression used by Judge J.
Wilmer Latimer of the Juvenile Court
of the District of Columbia, in describ-
ing the workings of that court, and the
viewpoint gained through it's opera
ton, before a meeting of the Federal
Schoolmen's Club held last night at the
Hotel Continental.
The gathering took the form of a
banquet. presided over by Ernest l..
Thurston, superintendent of schools
and president of the club, and was at
tended by about thirty men distin-
guished in educa tional circles. both in
connection with private and public
schools.
Judge Latimer not only described
the regular workings of the court in
an informal way, but gave interesting
sidellghts both of a humorous and hu-
man interest sort in connection with
his experiences among erring adults as
well as children, both of which are
among the patrons" of the court.
That the law applying to non-sup-
port cases in the District is an es-
pecially good one, but that its great
defect is the limitation of possible
sentence to one year, was the state
,ment of the judge, who expressed the
hope that the statute may be amended
pervise the conduct and financial af-
fairs of husbands and fathers who fail
to take seriously their family response
