FOR TRAINING OF
ALIEN POPULATION

Washington, Aug. 23. - Responding
to numerous inquiries the bureau of
naturalization today issued a general
letter relative to its views as to the
course which should be followed in
training the alien population in Am
erican citizenship.
While pointing out the impossible
ity of laying down any hard and fast
rules on the subject, the letter de-
clares that the prime requisite is abil-
ity to speak the English tongue. "It
is through this medium alone" it
says. that aliens can acquire a prac-
tical knowledge, both in and out of
the schools, Of our institutions. This
will lay the necessary foundation for
instruction in some simple outline of
American ciTics, the duties and OBJ
legations as we'll as the privileges and
immunities of American citizenship.
Above all, in this connection they
should be taught that the supreme
authority in this country is the law
and that the first duty of an Ameri-
can citizen is obedience to that aw,
even though it may seem an unwise or
Objectionable law, the remedy in the
latter case being through constitution
al methods to modify or change the
law; but that, in all cases, the first
duty of American citizenship is obe-
dience to the law as written"

BRITISH STATEMENT
ON ARABIC SINKING
IAN UNARMED SHIP

Queenstown, Aug. 23.-(3.o3 P. NJ
The British steamer Diomed has been
sunk by German submarine. Her cap
tain. quartermaster and steward were
killed by shells fired by the submarine
during pursuit of four hours.
An officer of the Diomed, who landed
here today with other survivors. says
that two submarines were sighted. Ac-
cording to his report they were rigged
with dummy tunnels. One of them, the
officer asserts, subjected the Diomed to
a heavy shellfire.
The survivors say that during the pur-
suit the Chinese firemen of the Diomed
refused to continue stoking and the work
was undertaken b. deckhands. The sub
marine stood off at a distance of about
half a mile until The Diomed sank.
The assistant Guartermas:er of the Do
med states that another steamer was in
sight at the time and apparently sink
ing. This vessel, in his opinion, was at
tackled by a second submarine.

ing that Austria had tried several times
since the beginning Of the war to con-
