intolerable. 1t would mean to
grant foreign governments the
right to step into this country
and do things absolutely out
side their sphere of activity.
If one foreign government
can openly work to create
strikes in this country and
bring pressure to bear on their
former subjects any foreign
country has that right. If
they have a right to intimidate
former subjects at one time
they have that right any time
they see fit. If they have a
right to interfere with one
form of personal activity they
have a right to dictate to a
former subject in any manner
they desire. They could CO.
cree a former citizen into re-
turning to Europe to enter the
war. They could levy a tax
upon him or make him stand
on his head.
Not for moment can this
country permit any foreign
government to reach its hand
into strictly internal affairs of
this nation. We have a cOun-
try and a flag of our own and
when a foreigner seeks citi-
.zenship here in good faith he
acquires all the rights of citi-
zenship. His former king has
no more control over him than
he has over his former king.
The sooner Austria and the
whole world learns this the
better. There would be more
sanity in a war to assert Am
erican sovereignty in this coun-
try than there would be in a
war to avenge the loss. Of a few
Americans sunk aboard some
British liner running the sub
marine blockade.

enter foreign armies. Sup
pose an American enlisting in
a foreign army did not like the
treatment accorded him or did
not relish the particular man
ner in which the enemy might
wish to kill him, could he not
appeal to the American consul
for help?
Yet the present ruling will
be hard on the soldier of for

in force some years ago Fun
ston could not have helped the
Cubans fight for liberty with

citizenship. Had Europe OBJ

Fayette, Baron Won Steuben
and various other friends in
need might not have come
across the waters to aid us in

needless to say, however, that
the general laws of the United
States cannot be framed with
the sole idea of pleasing sol
diers of fortune.

THEY LOSE THEIR CITl-

q HOULD an American cit
. izen who takes the oath
= of allegiance in one of
the European armies lose his
citizenship here? This is a
point that comes in for discus
sion since the solicitor in the
department of labor has ruled
that citizen taking such a
course does lose his American
rights.
There is logic in the solici-
tors ruling because a soldier
taking the oath of allegiance
to a foreign power swears he
will fight for that country
against all its enemies whom
soever. That oath may lead
him into warfare on the Unit

United States accord citizen

He's often green; alas, 'tis true!
He's often too, confounded blue!
He seems to go wher'er he wishes
And always lies about the fishes;
He hugs ashore like many brothers,
And sometimes seems more fresh

He'll go for miles without a jar,
And then he'll run across a bar.
He looks at times all ruffled. tossed,
Because he is so often crossed.
Then after all his fond enedeavor,
He goes out with the tide forever.

In one Of the hardest fought and
best played games OF the season. the

ed and defeated the Bryan stars az
sresation yesterday afternoon on the
academy grounds BY a score Of 10 "a
20. The academy scored two touch.
downs. but kicked only one goal. The
came was cleanly played throughout
and there were very few signs Of
squabblins at any time during the
contest.
The playing OF the Stars at ali
times during the game clearly proved
their right to the title given them.
Their defensive work was equally az
GOOD a. that Of their opponents. but
their Offensive was lacking somewhat.
They showed lack Of training and
Of much needed teamwork. They did
not threaten the academy goal At
any time during the game. but at
times they braced up and marched
down the field rapidly. only to lose
the ball BY funblinG. II would be

particular player from their lineup
and dub him hero Of the occasion. !"

game from the start and no player
outshone his teammates. Some Of
their defensive work bordered on the
spectacular at times. especially at
breaking up Interference and tackIing.
or breaking up trick formations and
stopping the man with the bali.
The playing Of the Allen team was
somewhat disappointing to their ad-
herents. who predicted much worse
defeat for the Stars. This. however.
was the first time the academy team
has been against real football this
season and was practically the first
chance given the coaches to find any
weak spots In their team.
