\ NEW COMPLICATION

NNE of the most surprising de-
velopments of the past week
and one fraught with all manner
of possibilities for the United States
was the seizure by Brazil of all the
German and Austrian shipping in
termed in the ports of that country
since the beginning of the European
war.
There are in Brazil $4,000 Ger
mans, who exert such a powerful in
fluence in the affairs of government
there that they will not permit Por-
tuguese. the recognized language, to be
taught in the districts they have colo
nized. 1t has been an open secret that
Germany sent these people to South
America with the hope some day,
when a favorable opportunity pre-
sented itself. of coming over with a
fleet and proclaiming Brazil a German
crown colony, in open defiance of the
Monroe Doctrine.
on the surface it appears as though
Brazil has taken the bull by the horns
and intends to use the present situation
of Germany as means of forever
freeing herself from the threat of Ger
man domination. Brazil and Portugal
have strong racial sympathies, and
Brazil, in seizing the German vessels,
is following closely on the heels of
Portugal. which finds itself at war
with Germany as a result of having
"requisitioned' all German shipping on
which it could lay its hands. There
would appear to be some close relation
between these two so similar acts.
The situation is apt to complicate
our own war problems should Ger
many take the same view with Brazil
as with Portugal. No more momen-
tous event has transpired, so far as the
United States is concerned, since the
| sinking of the Lusitania.

; Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Due to my former connection with
the Harrisburg Telegraph, an er-
roneous impression prevails in this
city, particularly among certain in
terests, to the effect that the Mr.
Dodge connected with the Anti-Liquor
License Crusade and mentioned in
newspaper articles during the cam
paign, referred to me. It is we'll
known that have not been connected
with any newspaper or interested in
s;Ich work since my connection with
the Telegraph and have had no in
terest whatever in any Anti-Liquor
campaign. I will thank you to correct
this impression through your columns
and greatly oblige.
Very truly yours,

In the golden dawn of her life's young

TEW people realize how many ma
tive and naturalized American
= citizens are fighting in the Euro
pean armies. Reliable estimates place
their number at about 10000. These
10000 men are giving rise to all sorts
of legal and diplomatic complications.
The question of their status in the
United States. If they get through the
war alive and return home, is bother
ing a good many of them The State
Department Is getting stream of in
quiries, wanting to know If an Ameri-
can who enlists i'm q foreign army loses
his citizenship, or If such an enlistment
is a breach of his duty as citizen. To
which the department replies that 1t all
depends.
One law sets forth that any Ameri-
can citizen who takes an oath of allegi-
ance to a foreign state has eNpatriated
himself. Some of the European armies
require an oath of allegiance from the
recruit, while others do not Any Ameri-
can who has taken such an oath is no
longer an American citizen. The queS-
tion of his restoration to citizenship
should he desire it. will probably have
AS to the duties of American citizen
ship, the state Department says In its
dignified way that 1t does not under
take to prescribe the duty of an indi-
vidual with regard to his citizenship,
but it is nevertheless of the opinion
that American neutrality requires
actual fighting. That. is just the way
a number of the fighting Americans in
Europe feel about 1t.
They belong to the class Of natural
lied citizens who were travelling in
their native countries when the war
broke out. The home Government
promptly snapped them up, presented
them with nice new uniforms. rifles
and trenching tools, and shipped them
off to the front Most of the COM
plants along this line are coming from
Italy. Italian law holds that naturaliza-
tion of an Italian subject in a foreign
country without consent of the Italian
Government does not make him less
liable to military service. The United
States has no treaty with Italy defining
the status of former Italian subjects
who have become American citizens.
Thus former Italian subject who visits
Italy is liable to arrest and enforced
military service If he is between 16
and 30 years old. A good many of the
Americans on the Austro-Italian front
belong to this class.
The French Government is not very
willing to give up its claim on men OF
military age. To get a release from
liability to serve, special permit has
to be secured from the Minister of Jus
tive by the eX-Frenchman who has ma
turalized himself in another land Be
sides the trouble involved. such a per-
nit costs about $125.
Very few Frenchmen who became
Americans took the trouble to arrange
the formalities involved in removing
their names from the list of men avail
able for active service. Hence a good

in mud, shooting at Germans along the
line that runs from Switzerland to the

mense amount of correspondence and

PENNSYLVANIA GERMANS

TIME TELEGRAPH takes this
means of thanking Golfers
Weekly for thee wide publicity
given in its current issue to a recent
address of DR.. Henry Fl. Apple, presi-
dent of Franklin and Marshall Col
lege, at Lancaster. on the attitude of
Pennsylvania Germans toward the
present European struggle, in which
he said:
But under all these conflicting
emotions they have the firm convic-
tion that the best future of the
world is somehow bound up with
the aims and purposes of the allies.
service to promulgate the ideals
which we have exalted and the pur-
poses which we believe are needed
to make a better world, they stand
ready to answer a summons to SER
vice and to sacrifice property or Ire
on the altar OF the American Repub-
lie.
Golfers commends this example to
the ''fifty editors and publishers of
German newspapers in the United
States who met in Chicago on the
same day behind closed doors to dis
cuss the coming presidential campaign,
but 1t is doubtful If those pig-headed
representatives of imperialism will be
affected thereby. They are not of the
same stamp as our own Pennsylvania
Germans. who have inherited all the
love of liberty and devotion to country
that took their ancestors to the front
when Washington raised the standard
of freedom and again when Lincoln
called for troops in 81. These truck
lers to an imperial master-the
"hyphens'' of to-day-are not to be
mentioned with that fine, outstanding
type of manhood we have come to
know as the Pennsylvania German.
The Telegraph is happy to have the
Pennsylvania German set right in
localities where he may not be under
stood, but it regrets that it should be
necessary to explain that there is no
hyphen where he is concerned.

appreciation of the standards at which
you have been aiming and attaining
in the Telegraph. You may not fully
realize it, but the daily text or uplift-

reaching result for good than many
sermons to the limited few. The
absence of liquor advertising and the
