WHILE WAR LASTS
SUBJECTS OF KAISER CANNOT
BECOME CITIZENS OF U. S.

Subjects of the German kaiser NV
ing in this country cannot become
citizens of the United States now
until after the war, thus those Ger
mans who would change their alleg
lance to this country at this time
are denied the opportunity of so do
ing, a declaration of war having
halted this procedure. Those Ger
mans here who have started to pro-
coed to become naturaized citizens
of the United States do not lose their
rights but can go no further toward
becoming naturalized until peace is
declared. This is in accordance with
an order received by County Clerk
w. T. Martin, and the order is as fol.
lows.
ITO the Clerks of the Courts of
Naturalization: A state of war
having been declared by the con-
gress of the United States to ex-
list between this country and Ger
many, your attention is invited
to the fact that until the war is
over and until a declaration of
peace, no German subject may,
under provision OF Section 2l71
of the United States statutes, be
naturalized as citizen OF the
United States
The document which was signed
by NJ. r, Bevington. chief naturaliza-
tson examiner. concluded with the
reminder to call the attention of the
courts to the order.
Another order received tells the
clerks to have Russians who apply for
citizenship renonnce allegiance TO
"the new government of Russia"

ARE CAPTURED
British Advance Two to Three
Miles in ArraS Region.

Canadian Troops Win Famous Ridge
After Hard ightine-Berlin Ad-
mIts Enemy Forced Way Into
Positions.

London, April 1O.--The official Brit
ish report says the British troops all
vanced during the day from two to
three miles along front extending l.
miles in the vicinity of Arras. Up to
two O'Clock I'm the afternoon German
prisoners numbering 5,S16, including
10 officers, had come in, but many
more remained to be counted.
The famous Vimy ridge, which has
been the scene Of many hard battles
since the beginning Of the war, was
captured by Canadian troops.
The German official report says that
heavy fighting took place on both Sides
of 'Arras and admits "the enemy has
forced his way into parts of our posi-

Network of Trenches Seized.
The official report says that the de-
lenses captured by the Canadian
troops comprise network of trenches
and fortified ocalities-Neuville Vi
tasse. Telegraph hill, Tilloy Lee Mof-
flames, Observation Ridge, St Laurent
Blangy, Les Tilleuls and La Folie

British troops later moved forward
and captured the German rearward
trenches, including the fortified locali-
ties of Feuchy, Chaprllc de Feuchy,
Hyderbad redoubt, Ariiies aud Thclus.
The tanks" also shared in the honors
of the successful assault.
The official communication issued by
the war Office ut Berlin says that heavy
fighting took place throughout the day
IN both sides of Arras, "the enemy
having forced his way iHto parts of our
positions"
The report adds that there was
strong artillery firing on the Alsne and
Champagne fronts.

THE SUB PERIL
FIRST PROBLEM
Continued from Page ~

boat destroyers, For this reason the
naval authorities believe that instead
of spending millions in motor boats
the government should hasten the
construction OF destroyers, which are
peculiarly effective against under
water operatives.
Countermininu Difficult.
After all, as the naval men point
out, the various means employed for
attacking submarines are dependent
upon the ability to locate the sharks.
What they would prefer is that all
points of exit should be closed by
countermining. Admittedly this is
difficult and dangerous job. Ger
many has thoroughly mined her wat
ers and particularly those of her
ports. The mines are protected by
submarines, destroyers and shore
Notifications. Zeppelins and aero
planes also are available to resist any
attempt to pass through the mine
fields. A New York hostile mine
layer entering German waters would
strike mines and be subjected to at
tack from the water, the land and the
air, 1t would be necessary to sup
port the mine layers by heavy dread
noughts and battleships and by aero
planes. Some of these would be de-
stroyed. If the plan were success
fully carried out, however, hundreds
of mines would be dropped in the
path of navigation and any subma-
rines attempting to make the open
sea would be rent asunder by com
ing in connection with them.
Can Afford Risks.
Dangerous as such an operation
would be and heavy as the loss, it
is pointed out that the allied navies
now can afford to take the risk The
American fleet, added to those of
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Russia gives tremendous prepond-
Nerance over the navies of Germany
and Austro-Hungary.
Indeed, force equal to the entire
American navy could be wiped out
and still the allies would control the
surface OF the sea. 1t is impossible
at this time to state the actual naval
strength of any of the belligerents.
In general way. however, it may be
stated that Great Britain has enorm-
ously increased her feet, as have her
allies and the central powers. The
German fleet, however, is not as eff
fectiye as it was prior to the battle
off Jutland bank, the machinery of
the vessels having been badly shak-
en-. Repairs have been made bit
the ships remain less efficient.
Ways to meet the submarine dan
ger will be carefully canvassed by
the American naval authorities in
consultation with the foreign ex-
perts. Within a few weeks it may
be expected that a definite program
of action will be determined upon and
this country will hear news that will
be of direct American interest.

WIRELESS STATIONS IN TOWN
AND COUNTY ORDERED DOWN.

Charles, Brookins,, who has a Ii
censed radio telegraph station at mis-
home, No. 104 Eighth avenue west,
with a sending capacity Of 750 miles,
received Sealed orders Monday from
the headquarters of the western de-
partment at Chicago, over signature

The order states that this is a de-.
Tense measure made necessary by
reason of the war. Use of the pri-
vate wireless stations is forbidden

Mr. Brookins was instructed to no

As Charles had the only registered
station in town, he was made a sort
of supervisor to see that the order
of the government was carried out
and when the order is executed he is
to report to the officer in Chicago.
Surprising as it may seem, Oska-
loosa has no less than ten wireless
stations that have been both sending
and receiving, and in addition to
those in town, Mr. Brookins' superin-
tendence was made to include a sta
ton seven miles south of Oskaloosa,

Lamar Boys All Well

E. G. Meyer, manager Of the Hell
vetia plant at Lamar, returned the
first of the week from a short visit to
Phoenix, Arizona, and other western
points. He spent a day at Douglas
and saw most Of the boys Of Co. d.
He says all are in fine health and
good spirits, but he thinks that from
the permanent manner in which their
quarters are being fixed up the gov
eminent evidently expects to keep
them there quite awhile. Mr.. Meyer
says the Lamar company no longer
has the appearance Of volunteers but
look and act like full Pledged regulars.
They all appear to be well taken
care Of and he heard few complaints.
He says the worst feature he can see
is that a government that wastes
