Or. LIE5KNEcHr IN ARMY
Prominent German Socialist Assigns:
10 Service in Alsace

Berlin, March "a, (yia London) DIR
Kari Liebknecht, a socialist member
of the Reichstag, has been mustered
into the army as member OF the
Landsturm regiment and assigned to
service in Alsace.
The Copenhagen Politken printed a
story Monday to the effect that DR.
Liebknecht had been ordered to place
himself at the disposal OF the German
military authorities. This was suppos
ed to have been due to his action IN
the Reichstsg on Saturday in voting
against the adoption OF the budget
The Politken stated that DR.. Lieb
knecht was directed to consider him
self under the military law and that
he was prohibited from writing arti
cles and attending political meeting
except those OF the Reiehstag and
Landtag.

AN ODD FASHION FANCY.

BY some odd fancy of fashion it is
not considered smart taste to have any
OF the sash ribbon repeated on the neck
pr sleeves. Che idea seems to be that
there can be too much of good thing,
even when the latter is exquisite in
fabric and design. Moreover, the one
spot or splash of color on dress Of
monotone fabric is apt to be spoiled by
the attempt to Introduce 1t on other
parts Of the gown, as additional colors
distract the eye.

No Such Thing rs "Hyphenated Ma

r. n. Caiisch.

There can be no such thing as a
'kyphenated nationality in America. -
declared Rev DR. f. n. Calisch In a
special sermon to his congregation at
Beth Ahatah Synagogue last night
The United States said the rabbi,
lis a group of fragments Of nations
destined to retain their entity at most
through only two generations. and in
this melting pot of destiny-this
crucible of American citizenship-the
dross Is weeded ont and only the pure
gold coin OF American citizenship Is
retained"
Melting Pot Of Americanism.
1T Is wrong to attempt to per-
petuate any one fragment because it
is false to the ideals Of American
citizenship and approaches the border
land OF treason. Every nation has

ture, art, language. industry and ac-

The speaker drew strikingly the
contrast between citizenship and ma
tionality. When man forsakes his
zatherland and gives his allegiance 70
another country he owes his loyalty
to the country OF his adoption. He
may change his citizenship, hut he
must assume another nationality--
there can be no 'hyphenated nation

velopment of racial character-pius

said, and while a man can no more
divest himself OF his nationality than
of his personality he can do as Rome
does when he swears allegiance to
Rome. IT had been asserted. he said
that II was necessary for the Jews to

ASK $4,000 FOR SMYRNA
RIVER DREDGING NEXT YEAR
THIS IN ADDITION TO THE SAC. 600
ALREADY APPROPRIATED
Plan to Start Early in the Spring to
Shorten Smyrna River Route-Other
Streams to Ger Appropriations

The Army Engineers in charge Of
this district have asked for $40. 600
for Smyrna River maintainanee during
the year 1916. This is in addition
to the $40. 600 already appropriated
for certain cuts that will shorten the
route three or four miles between
Smyrna Landing and the Bay. The
Department Of Justice at Washington
has repotted TO the United States En-
gineer's Office in Wilmington that the
deeds recently executed and delivered
to the government. for the cOnstruc-
tion of the several cuts had been ex-
amined and found valid and that the
title to the land needed had been
vested in the government. 1t is ex-
pected that the work of digging the
canals to shorten the Smyrna River
route to the Delaware Bay will begin
at an early date. The Army Engi-
neers have asked for 81, 500 for Leip-
sic River maintenance and $50, 600
for Appoquinimink. Murderkill and
Mispillion Rivers. $50. 600 has been
asked for the Rehoboth Canal-Reho-
both Bay to Delaware Bay. Almost
$40. 600. 600 is asked in all by the
army engineers for maintenance and
improvement of rivers and harbors
for the twelve months beginning July
l, 1916. Estimates for that work
submitted to Congress yesterday call
for appropriations sggregating
s45. s39. $40. That amount is
81. 53S. 30S less than was estimated
last December would be required for
the year ending on July l. for which.
after filibuster in the Senste defeated
the river and harbors appropriation
bill, $50. 600. 600 was appropriated
in lump sum to be used among pro-
jeets selected by the Secretary of

were driven back by smoke. Lack of
water pressure and the presence Of
the district FIRE companies at another
nre allowed the flames to gain head
way. Diamonds snd costly jewelry
had been locked in safes and were
probably saved. The greatest loss is
in Christmas goods that had Just
arrived. The insurance is probably
sufficient to cover the loss. The press
