GERNI4AN-ANIERICANs WILL BE
 LOYAL.
LOYAL.

Under the above title, Gottfried Priester, a Harvard graduate. of New Bedford. has published the subjoined communication in the Harvard Crim- son. It is of vast import at this moment because 1t gives the view point of thousands of loyal citizens of German origin.
 In these hours of suspense a great, tragic conflict shakes the hearts of millions of American citinens of Ger man birth or descent. For nearly three years our brothers on the other side of the Atlantic have held at bay their enemies. The terrible hard ships of trench warfare, aided by enemy bullets and shrapnel, thinned their ranks-spread over front of thousands of miles. England's star ation blockade, finds it's daily victims among the children and the aged behind the fronts. The few letters that reach us and the hundreds that do not reach us, are messengers Of sorrow and death. pathetic pie turc is thus ever present in the heart of every German American.
 And now arrives the tragic, the su- prcmc moment The inclinations of the heart cannot give way to the call Of duty. The country of our choice sends out the stern demand for that answering loyalty to the fiag-a loyalty which it must expect of every one of it's citizens. And there can be only one inswer. We must rally to the 1as under which ws live ana prosper.

AMERICANS GET OUT.
 F|LIPINOS JET IN
Government of Islands Fast Los
 ing Its White Experts

Manila, March 2.-while every bureau of the Philippine, government has suffered iii the past six months since the passage of the law which
 enables the American civil service employe of more than six years standing to retire on a small pension extending over three years, the bureau
 of agriculture reports the heaviest loss from resignations and retirements
 Fully fifty per cent. of the Americans
 in this important bureau have left the government service.
 Adriano Hernandez, Filipino, the
 director of the bureau. in published
 statements denied that these .resigna-
 tions have affected the efficiency of
 the bureau. He states that for some
 time past Filipinos have been acting as assistants to the Americans who
 have retired, thus gaining training
 to take up the work the Americans
 leave. Of the 21 divisions of the
 bureau, seven are now entirely in the
 hands of Filipinos while the remain
 der have American chiefs with Fili-
 pino subordinates training to take
 their places.
 In one department-that of the
 veterinarians = the retirement of
 Americans has caused serious incon-
 venience. Rinderpest h&s for years
 been a dread cattle scourge In the Islands. Last year saw 1t reach .
 high mark. of fatality just when American veterinarians, already TO. duced in number and crippled in their operations by the, small appropria- tion for their work. were beginning to tire of the service and take ad- vantage of the retirement law.
 Unlike the other departments, there are few Filipinos competent to take up the work of the retiring veterin- arians. There is but one institution the University of the Philippines which teaches veterinary medicine; primitive farming methods in vogue throughout the country make private employment of veterinarians rare and poorly paid: and Filipino youths aspire | rather to the learned professions than to those which demand something akin to manual labor. So when the pinch of retiring vet erinarians was felt, the bureau. aftcr exhausting the local supply of com ! petent men. had to appeal to the United States for other veterinarians. At best these are a poor substitute for the trained men who are qutttins since it takes them fully. a year to learn the conditions with which they have to cope in the field here.
 Among the better known Americans who have recently left the bureau are D. R., Flack. an employe. of 15 wears service, who goes to Petrograd to ioin the staff If the American em- bassy there. John T. zimner. entomo- logist, who joins the British agricul- tural forces in Papua, and M. M. Saleebv. a fibre expert of the bureau since the inauguration of the govern ment standardization of hemp and ] kindred flores. who resigned to re- present in the local field New York fibre importing coin pany.

the explosion OF 10000 pounds of il
Illuminating powder stored at the
burning plant OF the Aluminium Com

town has been evacuated since noon.
The loss of many homes is expected.
There is no way to fight the fire as

Already sixty workers are on the
casualty list. with several dead. The

Officials are unwilling to talk re-

FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION
p AWARDED LEGION OF HONOR
BY Henry Wood

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
AFIELD, Oct. IA. (By Mail. 1.-The
dElous French Foreign Legion, in
mich score of American, including
laptain Sartoris, grandson OF Gen
sral Grant, are still fighting, has
iest been awarded by General Petain
he supreme recompense of the Le-
zion of Honor. 1t is the highest
aonor that French regiment or di-
Vision can obtain.
In the case of the Foreign Legion
ne distinction is all the more note
,!orthy owing to the fact that the
Legion has won all of the intervening
trades and distinctions since the be-
ginning of the war. Its banner has
already been decorated with the
Croix de Guerre. The members of
The regiment have also won the hon

IN the green and yellow colors of
The Military Medal, while the regi-
ment itself has won six citations to
the order of the day.
With somewhere between fifty and
sixty nationalities at all times rep
resented in its ranks, the Foreign
Legion has participated in every big
offensive on the western front.
With the outbreak of hostilities
over 800 Americans to show their
sympathies with France, enlisted in
the Legion. Scores of these were
lilled later in the severe fighting
hat ensued. Many others were
forced from service because of
wounds. Still others were transfer
red to other branches of the army,
notably the aviation, the Lafayette
Squadron drawing many of its best
nilots from the Legion. Still others
withdrew when their terms of enlist
ment expired.
The score of Americans including
Captain Sartoris who still remain
are waiting anxiously for the mo-
ment when the American authorities
viii take the steps necessary to in
corporate them into the American
army in France. They feel they have
shown their full loyalty to France
by the fighting in which they have
participated and wish now to fight
under their own flag. Not n few
