SECOND REGIMENT
READY FOR ORDERS
MORuJZED AT AMERICAN LAKE
FOR SECOND TIME in 10
MONTHS.

All the companies of the Second
regiment of the Washington National
Guard are now in camp at American
Lake, where they modified last sum-
mer before going to Calexico, and
new recruits are being enlisted daily
Approximately 100 men and Of
ficers are at the camp, awaiting Or
ders from the war department which
are expected Immediately after con-
gress adopts the resolution declaring
a state of war to exist between the
United States and Germany.
The regiment went into camp last
Saturday for the second time within
10 months. The mobilization OF the
troops was in marked contrast with
the scenes which attended the mobil-
ization of the regiment last June.
This time there is grim feeling OF
seriousness to be felt throughout the
entire camp. Last June a majority
of those in camp considered that they
were off for an extensive vacation
which would be more in the nature
of a lark than any real hard work.
Today down to the newest recruit,
there is apparently greater feeling
of responsibility, due largely to the
fact that the majority of men In
camp, and this majority is large
one, served on the Mexican border
and are ready for. whatever the
future brings.
Olympia sent 12 recruits to the
camp and there are Is others here
on the reserve list, subject to call at
any time. Enlisting is proceeding
under the direction of Lieutenant
Herbert ]. Flagg.
II the United States presses the
war against Germany vigorously. the
war department, 1t is reported. Will
call upon the state of Washington to
furnish seven full regiments Of war
strength, or $4,000 men. In that
event Olympia would probably be
called upon to supply two companies
of $50 men each.
Under the new military code adopt
ed atAthe last session of the legisla-
ture, Governor Lister is empowered
to call out such militia as may be
necessary to supply the states quota.
the provision being that in time Of
emergency the governor may call to
the colors all ab1ebodied men be-
tween the ages Of 18 and As. Uni
versal military service is therefore
possible in this state upon the gov
ernor's order.

In the Hollow of Their Hand Farmers

From Fridays Daily. rcui.t :
In the soil of. his farm, and one
might also say in the hollow Of his
hand, the farmers of the country
are now holding the future food
supply of the United States. That
this grave matter is receiving the
attention of every serious minded
man and woman is becoming more
evident every day, and the. hope is
to keep America from suffering the
same trouble that has overtaken
warning countries in Europe.
Local banks are displaying a neat
Call to the Farmers which is. pa
triotically ornamented with a flag,
and similar placards have been sent
out all over the northwest by the
First National Bank of st. Paul.
Farmers, Save Country.

reads the placard. Increase the ma

need now for increased growing OF
grains, vegetables, foodstuffs, and
the raising of livestock, to meet the
huge demand which will result with
the continuation of war. Do your bit
by tilling every acre." In the letter
which accompanied the placard the

Germans Can Seek NATURALIZATION
Papers at Federal Court Term
C. E. Bredeson, local deputy clerk
of the United States district court,
received instructions today that the
matter of granting full citizenship
papers to German subjects, who pc
titioned for citizenship before a
state of war was declared with Ger
many, is being considered in test
case in the United States circuit
court Of appeals in New York.
Judge Booth of the United States
district court has expressed him
self as doubling that the law would
permit him to grant such petitions
at this time, and has indicated his
desire to await the action of the
circuit court of appeals. Under the
circumstances, Judge Booth thought
it would be proper not to call in for
final hearing any petitions filed by
German subjects until he could hear
as to what action was taken in the
higher court.
Otherwise all petitioners for
naturalization, who filed in Mankato
|prior to January % last, will be
heard, together with their witnesses
on Tuesday, April "a, at ten O'Clock
in the forenoon. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that the bureau
|of naturalization has recently re-
ceived IN Interpretation from the
department of state indicating that
German subjects are not. barred
from pet:tioning for naturalization.
