ALIENS MAY NOW VOLUNTEER
General Crowder Rules Men Who
Are Not Citizens Of America
Are Not Barred

WdSul1BtOu, mug ""
of the new National army were
opened formally to-day to friendly
aliens as volunteers. A ruling by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
communicated to the local selection
boards directs that all such aliens
who waive their right of exemption
on nationality be promptly accepted
for service.
General Cfowder sent this telegram
to the Governors:
Reports reaching this Office recent
ly indicate that in some quarters the
belief prevails that friendly aliens
who have not declared their inten-
ton to become citizens. but are
ready and willing to serve. are dis
qualified from entering the military
service of the United States and
therefore that they must take out
first papers before they can be ac-
cepted. 1t is to be regretted that
such a misunderstanding should have
arisen.
No Restrictions
The qualifications for voluntary
enlistment in time of war are no
more restricted for service in the
new National army than for the
regular army. Such alien monde
clarants are virtually volunteers.
The ~selective service Act provided
for their registration. but it did not
regard them as being under any IL
ability to service. and it therefore
gave them full liberty to claim ex-
! emption when called by local boards.
Now that information reveals their
willingness in large numbers to de-
cline this exemption and to accept
service in this wal against the COM
mon enemy of our civilization. il
should be fully understood that their
service is heartily welcomed, and
they should be accepted whenever
upon summons they fail to claim
their right of exemption.
Aiding Native Land
They are assisting the aus OF
their own country by aiding the
United States to triumph in this war.
The more of them that enter the
service the better, for in this way
will be removed the cause of dissatis-
faction heard in some quarters that
although the quota was based on to-
tai population. including aliens, the
actual draft reached only citizens
and declarants.
Local boards are directed to facili-
tate in every way the acceptance of
friendly alien non-declarants for mill
tary service and thus to enable them
to do their share to assist the coun'
/; try which has given them a refuge
and an honorable living.

In the Ease of Charles Fl. Ellsworth
against the Florence Goldfield Min
ing Company there was filed in the
district court at Goldfield by the
Western Ore Purchasing Company a
petition alleging that on June 10 the
company purchased Of Harry B.
Clapp, receiver of the Florence Gold
field Mining Company, a carload of
ore containing approximately IS dry
tons. The complaint states that in
making assays to determine the
amount to be paid the receiver the
samples were "salted'' without the
knowledge of the Western Ore Pur-
chasing Company and that the pur-
chasing company paid Clapp as re-
ceiver for the Florence company

the ore was $83.11. Suit is brought

Laces Again to Be Modish

Now that lingerie dresses are again
to be fashionable the use of fine laces
and e%mbroideries will be In wide evil
dence. There. for a while, we used
but little of these very feminine trim
mings. To be sure, n good deal of en-
broidery has appeared on dresses,
blouses and, indeed, all name of gar
ments during the last several years !;
but generally it has been applied by
hand and not inserted after the man
ner of the original method.
The laces which are favored just
now are the Italian filet, the Venetian
lace, chantilly'and certain of the Span
ish laces. Mostly they are fine in
their tracery or running designs, with
the exception of the tilet, which may
be rather heavy in its darned pattern
and which, to be really charming,
should have picturesque NEUROLOGICAL
OF animal characters.
For lace trimming the Valenciennes
or Binche laces are highly priced. OF
course, there are those which are hand
some and others which are machine
made limitations. For those who can
afford it, it is real economy to possess
the handmade product; but there are
excellent copies which, with care, viii
last a considerable time.

saw that two of the train robbers were
going through the train and relieving
the passengers of their money and jew

Dan wound one leg about the cross
tie of the pole. He whipped out his
nippers. He shipped the main wire in
two and drew together the severed
ends.

"Now then, have they got an intelli-
gent operator at the other end of the
wire, or a b~unkhead?'
What Dan had done was simple and
scarcely original. He tapped u n
slow but startling message, and ONE
one at the other end of the line learned
that the S:11 was stalled at a certain
point, not ten miles away, by train rob-
bers. A posse in swift automobiles was
suggested by Dan.
Then he eased back and wondered if
due diligence would obstruct the
robbers before they got away. Just as
he calculated, the robbers had no easy
task in getting into the express car
and forcing its safe. Half an hour went
by when, from the city, half n dozen
automobiles dashed down the crossing
road. The robbers were surrounded
and secured after a struggle. The
booty Of those who had gone through
The train and held up the passengers

HOW BIG WARS HAVE STARTED
Cables or Wireless Would Have Pre-
vented Conflict Between United
States and England in 1912.

Had there been an ocean telegraph
in 1872 there might not have been a
war with England at that time. Five
days after President Madison signed
the declaration of war, England re-
called the orders in council which had
provoked it. The purpose to recall the
orders was unknown in America,
while in England nothing was known
of the war declaration when the or
ders were revoked. This wars most
important battle, that of New Orleans,
was fought Is days after the treaty
of peace had been signed at Client.
1t was this battle which made Jackson
a popular idol and gave him the presi-
dency.
The first step in the Crimean war
was Russia's invasion of Moldavia,
months before diplomatic rupture with
England and France. The firing on
Fort Sumter, which started the war
between the states is Il familiar story.
The first shot of the Franco Prussian
war was by a French soldier on guard
at Strasburg bridge a day or two be-
fore Napoleon III formally took the
field. The attempt on Bismarck's life
as he was walking down the Inter
den Linden on May Z, 1866, rallied pub
lie sentiment to him and his policy,
and from a dramatic standpoint may
be said TO have been the first shot in
the Austro-Prussian war. The blowing
up of the Maine was the first blow in
the Spanish-American war, which end
ed Spanish possessions in the new

China Relects confuelanlsm.

Efforts to make Confuclanism the
state religion Of China have again
failed. Parliament recently cast a
vote on the question Of recognizing
Confucianlsm as the official religion in
the proposed new constitution, and the
measure vas lost by a vote of 264 to
255. Many politicians have refused to
participate in the religious discussions
IA "a shisa&aeRt ID 4sfs rs Q resulted h
much bitter feeling. Three and a half
million Christian Chinese have stood
behind the members of parliament
who opposed the adoption of Confu-
cianism, and conducted a very effective
campaign. The opposition of the Chris
tians was that no religion should be
recognized by the government, but
that persons of all faiths should be
permitted to practice their religion
without government hindrance or sup
| port.

Stationary Tray Is Useful

The useful stationery tray illustrat-
ed is constructed with two strong
cardboard boxes, both exactly the
same size and shape. The lid is re-
moved from the front box, the two are
then securely fastened together with
paper fasteners in the manner shown
in diagram A. This can be quickly
and easily done, the boxes merely be-
ing placed together and the paper fas-
teners run through the sides and bent
fiat inside the back box. The dotted
line indicates the way in which the
lidless box should be cut down in
front.
The exteriors of the boxes are
smoothly covered with c~retonne or
silk, the material being turned over
at the edges and underneath, and fas-
tened on with a strong adhesive.
The interior of the boxes are neatly
lined with colored paper cut to fit and
pasted in place.
The inner side of the lid Is lined
with sateen, and across the center q

Lingerie OF Delicate CoIorS

AS varied in tints as a bed of print1
roses is the new lingerie. Palest nile
green, water blue and buttercup yellow
are perhaps the favOrite c%olors, but
mauve and lavender and clear violet
are also very chic. The materials are
crepe and silk voile and also a new
weave of null, which does not thicken
and in a variety of delicate col
ors. The trimmings of these intimate
garments are less and less machine
made and fine embroidery and scallop-
ings seem to hold first place.

the hats as well as the phrase are

Moreover, the business of the manu-
facturers of flowers and feathers and
all other millinery supplies is at a
standstill and it is time for them to
protest. Consequently there is bound
to be a change, which will probably
be met with delight.
The new spring shapes are elabo-
rately trimmed in flowers, feathers
and ribbons. One millinery firm, for
example, is featuring small straw hats

lead for the early season, with the
promise of large ones appearing later
for summer. The Parisienne is always
partial to a little hat to start a new
season, whether it should be winter
or summer.

SIMPLE HATS TO GO
Plain Shapes Without Trimming
Taboo This Year.
Spring Models deliberately Trimmed

The milliners unanimously predict
a complete change in styles. In fact,
it is no longer n prediction, for the or
der of the spring fashions is no more
simple shapes without trimmings. For
the last three years we have had hats
without the least suggestion of trim
ming, and the modistes are absolutely
stripped of their ideas for new and
unusual shapes. 1t is most difficult
in millinery to make a shape so per-
feet in lines that 1t Is smart within
itself. For six seasons the milliners

American matron, that is, the plump
woman, has come t the decision that
satin is not her fabric. All of the

but not the stiff "stand alone" variey,
and of course brocades, are adapted to
her in all the various combinations, but
satin with its g~listening and metallic
surface but accentuates her generous
