URGES AMERICANS
LEARN CITIZENSHIP
Justice Siddons Wants Native
and Foreign Born Educated
Along That Line.
SPEAKS AT LAST SESSION
OF CITIZENSHIP MEETING
n. ]. Downey, Andrew H. Melville,
I. Walton Schmidt and Raymond
F. Crist Also Talk.

An education in American citizenship
for both native and foreign-born per-
sons in the United States was urged by
Justice Frederick L. Siddons of the
District Supreme Court in an address
at the closing session today of the
citizenship convention at the Wilson
Normal School.
The speaker said that in the past the
people of this country have concluded.
rather nonchalantly, that once for
eigner begins to breathe the air of
America, he sheds his foreign charac-
teristics, the influence of his old en-
vironment, and thenceforth knows but
ore country, and that the one he had
adopted.
The experience of the last quarter of
a century has served to correct this
old error, but its persistence for too
long a time makes the task of correct
Ing some of it's more serious conse-
quences no light one.' he said. But
we have set about it in all earnestness,
and the country is indebted to the en-
1ightened zeal of the heads of first the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
and later and now the Department of
Labor

Right to Claim Allegiance.

Justice Siddons said the fault is largely
this countrys that such things are true.
for there has not been insistence enough
on the obligations of citizenship I'VE
have the right to claim. and we should
demand, that the country which affords
shelter, home and protection to its people
is entitled at all times and under all cir
epmstances to their undivided allegiance.
he declared What more, after ALL is.
tsere in the relation Of a man to his coun-
try his government and to his fellow citl-
Gems than reciprocity in its best and
l.rgest sense? Can we hope for happy
ne of life in the United States If we
are to permit to be rekindled within its
borders the embers of old national and
RI ~.nI animosities that should have been
p. behind by those who have sought and
fl,,rd homes in America? To do SO is to
cherish, not affection for America and
American institutions, upon which alone
II can build, but hatred for other coun-
tries and for their sons and daughters
who now form SO large part of our
population"
In conclusion, the speaker said: Let
rs all resolve, you teachers, you adj
ministrative officials, we judges, to
Join hands in a compact that each will
DO his very best in the great and no.

Cause in Jacoby Alimony Plea.

In the case for divorce filed by Carrie
Jacoby against Abe Jacoby. Justice Nc
Coy of the District Supreme Court has
sfsned an order discharging the rule
to show cause issued against the hus-
band. The petition of the wife was
fled in April. 1916. praying for a lin
tied divorce and for alimony, and the
defendant was cited to show cause why
he should not pay aiimony pendente
lite for the support of his wife and
child.

that the wife had deserted him without
good cause and that she had in her pos
session $3.50 which he had saved FOR the
purpose of buying home. He claimed
that while the money, at the sUzges-
ton Of the wife. had been placed in the
building association in her name, it
was his earnings No order was made
concerning the money

Motive of 1.-The Melting Pot"

The speaker called attention to
theatrical production, THE Melting
Pot" the motive of which, he said. was
to convince it's audience that the Unit
ed States was great crucible. in which
were placed ingredients in the form of
the heterogeneous peoples that come
from all parts of the world, and there
resulted from it's processes homoge-
neous people possessing all of the best
characteristics of those whose fusion
was thus accomplished.
WAS it a correct picture?" he asked.
rs the merger of the races and peoples
that have come to swell our population
50 complete that the thought and con-
duct, social and political, of all OF them
is so directed that America, and Anerl-
ca only, receives their unqualified and
undivided allegiance? Or are there
some who, though living here and
claiming American citizenship. reserve
their best thoughts and highest hopes
for the countries that they left, and
emperors and kings still. in fact, re-
Tin the allegiance which these. their
subjects, foreswore when they applied
for admission to citizenship here?

Industrial Plan of Education.

Andrew H. Melville, a member of the
state conference board on industrial
education of Wisconsin, spoke on The
Industrial Plan of Education in Wis
coasin."
Our public school curriculum has
been in ferment, 10. these many years
with reformers, progressives and reac-
tionaries in turn, in the saddle, with
the result that today after decades of
experimentation, delving into educa-
tional values, methods, etc, there is
still much debatable ground" the
speaker said.
Mr. Melville said that in America
local conditions have determined TO a
barge extent. and must continue to de-
termine, the needs and kind of in
drstrial education offered in any com
munity What we have thus far has
come about without very much voca-
tional guidance"
The speaker told Of the effort of
Wisconsin to provide system of in
dustrial education. and said the efforts
are being focused on great cooperation
and coordination of all the agencies
engaged in carrying on the work
through the state conference board and
in the elimination OF -functioning
courses of study with the idea of bring
irg about closer contact with in
dustry and the development of interest
on the part of those who receive in
stguction.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-President
iWiIson has dispatched : note to Germany
declaring that it must change it's submarine
methods Immediately If friendly relations
with the United States are to continue.
The president told congress about it this
afternoon, at joint session of the house and
senate, which he unexpectedly called last
evening.
The note differs from an actual ulti-
mat,m only in that it carries no time limit
for a cessation Of summarizing, altho it indi-
Gated that the present policy must be stop
ped Immediately.
Leaders in the house and senate, and
members of his cabinet are understood to
have given their approval to the note, which
was cabled last night to Berlin.
: Official Washington today believes a
break with the kaiser over the submarine is
sue is inevitable.
Men high in the councils of the kaiser
have declared repeatedly that Germany will
not relinquish her submarine tactics, which
are regarded as the nations most effective
weapon against her enemies.
The president reached the house of rep
resentatives few minutes before l p. m,
and Immediately addressed the assembled
statesmen. A brilliant audience heard him.
The diplomatic and cabinet galleries were
crowded. Crowds jostled for standing space
in the halls outside.
Every available member Of the capitol
police was on duty to guard the executive.
They guarded every door. Those with
out tickets were not admitted.
The president was grave and earnest as
he spoke. Members of congress and those
: in the crowded galleries scarcely stirred un-
til he had finished. No applause interrupted
him. full minute after he had ceased a
brief storm of applause broke.
A broad intimation was given today by
responsible German officials that Germany
may find it possible to meet the American de-
mands as President Wilson outlined them.
The executive made no request of con-
gress. He simply fulfilled his promise to ad-
wise congress in case he took action such as
he was reported to have taken.
