FIRST DUTY TO U. S.
SAYS CANDIDATES SHOULD BE
ASKED TO DECLARE STAND.
WHO Use country's Might to.
Aid Other Nations.

Washington, Oct 13.-President
Wilson for the first time bitterly at
tackled hyphenated Americans who
sought to stir up trouble for the
United States. His attack was made
in stirring address on Monday before
the Daughters of American Revolu-
tion, who celebrated the twenty y-tifth
anniversary of the founding of their
society. The presidents fiancee. Mrs.
Norman Gait, and her mother, Mrs.
Boiling, we're in the audience
Il would great deal rather draw
pepper up my nose than incur the ;.~,s-
tility and dislike of my neighbors."
the president said. Anything is prefer
able to ostracism. This is just the
sort of discipline should be meted out
to those within our borders who do
not think of America first.
Now we have come to time of
special stress and test" the president
declared. There never was time
when we needed more clearly to con-
serve the principles of our own plat
form than this present time. There
have been some among US who have
not thought first of America, who have
thought to use the might of America
in some matter not of America s
originative and they have forgotten
that the first duty of nation is to
express its principles in the action of
the family of nations and not to seek
to aid and abet any rival or contrary
ideal.
Il would not be afraid upon the
test OF America first to take census
of all foreign-born citizens of the
United States. for | know that the
vast majority of them came here be-
cause they believe in America.
am not deceived as to the balance of
opinion among the foreign-born citi
zens. but | am In a hurry to have an
opportunity to have lineup and let
the men who are thinking first of other
countries stand on one side-bibli
cally. 1t should be the left-and all
those that are for America first, last
and all the time on the other side"

Social Workers Protest.

Protests against the Gripping of the
state Juvenile research bureau by ac-
cidentals misappropriation of funds
We're on file with the board of admin
istration. They have been pouring in
from philanthropic and social work
ers' organizations for several weeks.
The last legislature appropriated
$1,000 for salaries of six workers in
the Juvenile research bureau for the
next year and $4,000 for other ex-
penses, but made practically no spe-
cific allowance for travelling expenses
of the workers. The board of admins
tration now is being asked by social
workers to authorize a transfer of
about S1,100, so that the investigators
in the bureau may go to work over the
state in fields where they are most
needed. Pending the adjustment OF
the appropriation, tangle, the board OF
administration has not appointed the
six field workers for whom salaries
were appropriated.

NEW FRYE CASE NOTE

Declares Small Boats Not Places of
Safety When Ships Are Torpe-
doed by Submarines.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE United
many. to be presented by Ambassador
Gerard on the case of the American
ship William P. Frye, asks that If it is
found necessary to destroy American
ships carrying absolute contraband.
passengers be removed to safer place
than small boats.
The American government accepts
the German suggestion in reply to the
American proposal concerning COM
mission to fix damages for the Frye.

and leave the case to two experts, one
from each country.
In agreeing to submit to arbitration
the Interpretation of the treaty of 1928
to decide whether it gives Germany
the right to destroy American ships to
stop contraband traffic. the American
government holds that not only must
warning be given and passengers and
crew saved, but that small bcats are
not considered place of safety"
The United States has not insisted
upon this heretofore with reference
to Americans travelling on ships under
a belligercnt flag. officials here. how
ever. feel that the treaty was a spe-
cial arrangement between Germany
and the United States expressly drawn
for the purpose of protecting the ves-
sells and lives of subjects Of either
party in war time. AS one Of the ar
ticles of the treaty specifically pro-
vides for the delivery Of contraband
out of the cargo of an American ship
and then states that the vessel can
proceed to its destination. the Ameri
can government draws the inference
that it never was intended that Ameri
can vessels should be destroyed.

War Not Responsible.


A statement prepared by the Ma
tio1al City bank of New York shows
that during the first 13 months of the
war. from August 1, 1914. to August
81, 1915. exports from the United
States increased 24.6 per cent, while
its imports showed a decrease of 12.4
per cent. These figures fall very far
short of sustaining the assertion of
administration officials that the war
is responsible for a depleted treasury
and that it Las prevented fair test
of the Underwood tariff law as reve-
nue. producer A falling of of but 12.4
per cent in imports does not begin to
explain why a special war tax" was
necessary and why even that and the
income tax fail to provide enough
revenue for the expenses of the gov
ernment.

Help the Unemployed.

Although its. treasury is depleted,
the United Mine Workers of America
will try to furnish the unemployed
miners in the Hooking district with
relief enough to keep them from starv-
ing. The national officers of the or
ganization have been investigating the
situation among these miners and
have found it to be as serious now as
1t has been at any time yet. In a re-
port filed with Governor Willis, Col.
Edward c. Bryant, assistant adjutant
general, tells of what the department
has done to aid the miners and their
families. A total of 12,764 persons
was helped. Seventeen carload ship
ments of food supplies were sent to
the district for distribution. The
financial statement of Colonel Bryant
shows that the sum of $13, 1924 was
spent for provisions. Practically all
the relief furnished was given in re-
sponse to an appeal made by the ad-
jutant generals department.
