German army, now comes forward
with the explanation. The shirts are
wcrn, not to conceal the wearers, but
rather so that the attackers may be
able to distinguish each other in the
darkness and the conflict of battle.
Tie custom also is not new but his
tcrically old.
1t was begun centuries ago by the
French, and was called "camisade"
from the Latin "camisia" or shirt. The
term gradually became more general
and was used to designate any kind Of
night fight, whether the soldiers
wort their shirts inside or outside of
their coats.
The first recorded "camisade" took
place at the capture of Pointoise in
g. The last one of Importance was
teh storming of Liege by the troops of
the late General Won Emmich.

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP
Is DENIED TO JAPANESE

Honolulu. March 25.-American
citizenship was denied to Takao
Ozawa, a japanese, in a test case
here to-day. The court ruled that
japanese are Mongolians and that
the word white does not include
the Monaghan.
Judge Charles f. Clemens, of the
United States District Court, who
denied Ozawa's citizenship papers,
said:
THE remedy of the applicant lies
in Congress. Our alien friends
should through their friends direct
ly seek that branch of the Govern
ment for relief.
when such devotion to the Unit
ed States and the Constitution is
given as the petitioner has shown in
the past twenty years of complete
surrender to our customs and insti-
tuti0ns, his petition should not fall
on deaf ears"
OZawa's appeal has been watched
with keen interest by the Toxic
press and by Americans and Japa-
nese locally.
At the same time two Filipinos
were granted citizenship, though
exception was noted by the District
Attorney.
IL was said that the Department
OF Justice at Washington had in
structed the United States District
Attorney here to begin cancellation
proceedings at once. had the court
granted Ozawa citizenship.

CUT ADRIFT, HE DROPS
1000 FEET TO SAFETY

London, March 27.-How a youn,
French Lieutenant, aloft in a cap
tive balloon to oberve the Germans
fire, cut adrift by shell and escap
ed in a parachute, landing within
800 yards Of the German lines, is
told in Daily News despatch from
Paris quoting from a Journal cor
respondent, who interviewed the
hero of the story.
The young officer did not realize
what had happened until, after a
slight tug, he found his telephone
out of commission. Looking over
the side he found he was several
thousand feet in the air and drifting
toward the German lines. His valve
cord, moreover, was fouled. AS a
last resort he jumped out of the bas-
ket at 1900 feet with the para
chute rope around his waist.
"The cord was 65 feet long, so
had to jump that distance into the
void before the box containing the
could open," said the
Lieutenant. 81 must have dropped
more than a hundred feet before the
parachute unfurled, and it was not
agreeable, but after that l did not
mind"

National Debt Is Now About
Sl2,OOO,O 100000.

| London, March 25.-Great Brit
aims annual income has increased
by $3,0O0,0O0.OOO since the begin
ming of the war, declared Sir George
Paish, the we'll known financial au
thority, in lecture to-day ON wal
finance before the Royal Statistica
Society. The total, he said, now has
reached $4,000, 100000.
The nation. added the speaker
has nearly succeeded in maintaining
its productive power, despite the
withdrawal of approximately 4.OOO,-
900 men from it's industries. 1t had
called in half billion pounds of is
capital from abroad since the open
ing of hostilities, nearly all of this,
however, having been used to make
fresh loans to foreign countries and
colonies.
II allowance were made for the
increase in the cOuntry's gold stock
Sir George declared, the nation
would be found to have succeeded in
meeting virtually the whole of its
war expenditures out of its income,
without needing to draw upon it's
accumulative capital to an extent
worth mentioning. Official calcula-
tions of the new taxation imposed
up to the present time amounted to
$537.655,000. and Sir George esti-
mated the taxation in the coming
year would reach nearly $2,25O,-
100000.
On the whole. the speaker said,
the burden of taxation was light,
considering the circumstances and
compared with the burden the coun-
try bore during the Napoleonic
Wars. The national debt before tho
war was 1885. 900. 900. 1t would
be $4,000. 900. 900 by the end of
this March. Sir George added. and II
the war continued another year II
would be not far short of $40, OOO.-

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is the man

When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble.

But the smile that comes with the

Is the smile that shines through

that they would have done different

Wilson. had they been President. 1t
is always so easy to criticise the 9TH

These are not the words of Wood
row Wilson defining the attitude of
the United States toward the Car
rama Government in Mexico. They
are the words of Abraham Lincoln
defining the attitude of q the United
States toward the Juarez Govern
ment.
President Wilson's Mexican pol
icy is President Lincoln's Mexican
policy.
When the Lincoln Administration
came into power, Mexico had been
in turmoil for years. The Juarez
Government had come into power
but was unable to enforce order over
the country. Not only had American
property been destroyed but Amer
lean lives had been lost and a num-
Der of the American Legation had
been murdered.
The memorandum printed above
was part of President Lincoln's in
structions to the American Minister
to Mexico, and 1t defined the princi-
pie that President Wilson has fol-
lowed in dealing with our unfortu-
nate neighbor of the south.
Mexico is still making its way
painfully through difficulties and
embarrassments;" but the Admins
tration at Washington to-day is still
guided by the principles laid down
by the Lincoln Administration fifty
five years ago. and no Government
at Washington has a moral or a po-
litical right to be guided by any
other priciples.-GNew York World.
