MEX|CANS WANT CITIZENSHIP
 NOT BADLY
HAV NATURALIZATION PAPERS A L FILL E D THEN BALK AT SWEAR ING OFF ALLEGIANCE TO PRES. CARRANZA.

Ramon Ramirez, Rosales Herman dez and Guadalupe Lopez can speak English enough to ask for jobs on county road work, but cannot speak enough of the language to renounce allegiance to the United States of Mexico. One result of this linguistic lack is that they cannot now get on the payroll.
 The three Nexicans came in from Dewey yesterday to apply for citizen ship and to announce their intention of becoming United States so they could go to work on gang being employed by the county engineer on the road to Jerome. Deputy Clerk Jim Farley obligingly made out three blanks-complcte in 9 perfect mass of dctail-and then asked the three, who, up to this time had been using per fectly good United States, to repeat after him. They wanted to know what it meant, and he explained that he was about to give them an oath, by which they would solcmnly swear to give up all loyalty to the president of Mexico. and to become true ncphews of Uncle Sam. But no. They could not understand. The Yankee lingo was too much for them.
 Still anxious to oblige, Farley called ]. s. Gales, the interpreter for the court, and had him explain the propo- sition to Ramirez and Lopez and Her nandez. And here, the three 'Ezzcs rcbelled. They wanted to announce their intention of becoming United States citizens, but they weren't go- ing to do or say anything that might not please Old Man Carranza
 The three naturalization blanks were cancelled in red ink, and now the clerk of the court has to cough mp so cents a piece for the said blanks to the United States government. After this, would-be citizens will plank down the price of the registration be- fore Farley dips his pen in ink and spells any more blanks.

"The Co1ors Call"


Nora Trew, Magdalena, N. M, June IL, 1917.
"The colors call!' the buges blow,
Behold thy sons-N ew Mexico!
While, 81 have answered, comes the cry
Ten thousand heroes glad reply
Yes, thrice ten thousand, from the plain,
The deserts wide, the vast domain;
The Rio Grande takes voice,
The purple mountain peaks rejoice.
The drum-beats roll, the colors glow
To arms thine own New Mexcol
New Mexico, so arms thine own
The heaping rocks, the scuptured stone,
The solituues' volcanic sands
Raise from the dusts their hero bands,
The fair haired Saxon Of the plain
The proud descent OF ancient Spain
Cifts 70 our shores of warriors old,
Unsullied In their vaor bold
With Zuni and with Navajo,
Spring to thy call-New Mexico
Spring to thy cal! to crush the foe,
This thy gift, N ew Mexico;
To save from MAIN and bruise and stroke
The Belgian chld-from slaverys yoke,
Matron, and maid, and helpless age,
'Gainst whom. insane with fendish age
The brutal foeman heap their wrongs,
The blood god Odin tunes their songs;
To strike the tryant blow for blow,
Blest be thine arms-New Mexicol
No slackers hide in Gods great hills;
No traitors drink from mountain rills;
No towards meath thy holy skies
Watch from their camps the stars to rise.
Thy cactus, with her prickly spine,
Would crush the heart that dare repine
That dare not answer az thy call
That dare not fight, or--fghting fall.
God makes thy mother-pride to glow
o thrice rejoice New Mexico
Blest be thine arms--New Mexico,
Thrice armed in cause SO just, we know
Thy western manhood no poor boast
For "We have answered. shouts the host
The strong vanquero of the plain,
The gift of Drawn, of pride, Of brain
OF courage true, of loyalty,
Themselves the surest prophecy
That makes the voiceful colors glow
Int that response-New Mexico!

Kaiser May Replace Dutch
Ships Sunk bv Submarines

The Hague, Monday, Feb. 26.--
Via London, Feb. 27.)-The govern
ment has given no indication of its
course of action to be followed in con-
nection with the recent disaster to
Dutch shipping in the submarine at
tack on fotilla Of Dutch steamers
off the English coast. 1t is taken
for granted, however, that a peaceful
solution is being sought in the form
of a cession by Germany of a certain
number of Ships to replace the lost
tonnage, such replacement being con-
sidered imperative because of the me-
cessity of an immediate reorganiza-
ton of food supply arrangements.
There is already talk of wholesale
slaughter of Dutch cattle being neces-
sary, owing to the loss of fodder car
goes among those destroyed by the
submarine attack and the inevitable
delay i'll securing fresh consignments.

SINKING OF Liner
LACON|A A CLEAR
CUT OVERT ACT
President is Awaiting Delega-

gress to Meet the
Situation.
o. POSITION IS DEVELOPING
Senate Committee Decides to
Redraft Flood Bill, Making
1t Definite and Explicit.
HOLD POWERS TOO BROAD

Washington, Feb. H.-The sinking
OF the Laconia with the loss OF Amer
ican lives is looked upon by the
American government as clear cut
violation of American rights, accord
ing to all authoritative expression OF
opinion obtained after conference
between President Wilson and Sec
retary Lansing. No further investiga
ton is considered necessary.
The situation, however, was un-
changed from where the president left
it yesterday when he asked congress
for authority to deal with the subma-
rinc peril
Opposition Developing.
While details of the deaths Of two
Americans in the unwarned destruc-
ton of the Laconia began coming in
today the opposition in congress to
giving President Wilson the broad
authority to deal with the submarine
menace began taking definite form
and showed considerable strength.
Nevertheless the house foreign af-
fairs. committee, after debating the
Flood BILL which has the backing of
the president, decided that the broad
powers to be conferred BY the use of
the phrase "othcr instrumentalities"
should be modified and that the presi-
dent should be limited to using the
naval forces of the United States, in
cluding the naval militia" E
The senate foreign relations COM
mittce republicans voted solidly
against giving the president blanke,
authority and it was reported they
drew support from three democrats,
Senators Stone, Hitchcock and O'Gor-
man.
Flood Goes to White House.
No formal action was taken in
either committee and while the house
committee was in adjournment until
o'clock this afternoon, Chairman
Flood took to the White House
proposed amendments, including one
to prohibit arming Of ships carrying
munitions or contraband and the
other to limit the presidents author
| ity. .l..gEa
Administration officials considered
the attitude OF congress in the face
OF the Laconia case of sufficient i'm
portance to discuss sending an official
report on the killing of the Americans
to congress in some official way.
Will Redraft Bill.
The senate committee had decided
to redraft the whole bill to make it
more explicit.
The right to arm ships, it was said,
would take the form Of authorizing
owners OF all American ships to arm
and defend them and authorizing the
government to supply guns and
gunners for this purpose.
Object to Signing Blank Check.
The chief objection OF the republic
cans is to the phrase "other instru-
mentalities." Several Of the leaders
express willingness to vote for any
specific authority sought by tie presi-
dent, but say they do not want to sign
blank check" Then there are
many who strongly favor directing as

Washington Believes This Is
Mere Pretext for Deten-

ACTION DEEMED AN INSULT

Berlin, Feb. 26.-(Via Sayville, Feb,
27.)-The release OF the American
prisoners brought to Germany on the
steamer Yarrowdale, although ordered
some time ago, says the Overseas
News agency, cannot be carried out
for the moment, as an infectious dis
ease has been discovered at the place
OF their residence.
As the outbreak OF the malady
necessitates>a quarantine measure al
fecting the number OF persons about
the leave Germany, the Overseas
News agency states that the delay in
the departure of the Americans is in
the interests of neutral countries. The
hope is expressed that the quarantine
will be of short duration.
The American citizens, it is an
nounced, are safe and well.

Gerard Warned by
: German Friend Not
To Sail From Spain

Corunna, Spain (Via Paris), Feb.
27.-It became known today that on
the day he left the embassy ex- Am
bassador Gerard was warned by a
German friend in high official position
against sailing from Spain for the
United States. 1t is known that Mr..
Gerard regards the warning as having
been given in all seriousness.
Washington, Feb 2-Reports that
former Ambassador Gerard had been
advised in an informal way by high
German official in Berlin not to sail
for the United States in the way he
had planned caused much surprise
among State department officials, who
thought Mr.. Gerard would almost GER
tainly have forwarded information Of
that sort if received. The only in
structions sent him were in reply to
his query as to what to do in case Of
war, and advised that he hold to his
original plans unless otherwise or
dered.
The full details of the former am
bassador's plans, including the vessel,
the date and the port we're communi-
Gated to Berlin through the Spanish
ambassador. No safe conduct could
be requested because the two coun-
tries are not at war; the ship is a
neutral vessel and the route does not
traverse the prohibited zones. Press
reports that Mr.. Gerard had advised
Americans in Madrid not to sail on
the same vessel have not been con-
firmed officially here.
The Spanish Transatlantic line now
is practically the only means of travel
for American diplomats to and from
Europe, as travel on belligerent YES

FARM BANK TO BE
READY IN APRIL
Charter Expected First OF
Week, After Which Stock
Subscriptions Paid In.
OFFICERS MOVE TO OMAHA

The charter for the Omaha Farm
Loan bank will probably reach Oma-
ha by the first of the week.
The bank will, in the opinion OF the
newly-appointed directors, who organ
lied in Omaha yesterday, be ready to
make loans by April /.
Two locations are under considera-
ton. The board has been offered the
old First National bank building at
Thirteenth and Farnam streets, and
also elegant quarters in the new First
National bank building, Sixteenth and
Farnam.
I'VE, have these under considera-
tion," said Secretary Frank G. Odell,
'but we are going to look around
quite a bit before we decide finally"
The Commercial club Of Omaha has
offered the board temporary quarters,
at least places to hold its organiza-
ton meetings to get the preliminary
work out of the way. The board will
meet there today at 10 o'clock to con-
tinue the execution of routine work
that must be done in connection with
getting the institution under way.
As soon as the bank gets its char
ter, which will be probably the first
of next week, the federal government
will pay into the institution the capl-
tai stock for which it has subscribed,
bringing the paid-up capital up to
the full quota Of $750,OOO. Something
less than $4,000 was subscribed by
individuals in Omaha, Nebraska and
the other states included in the dis
trict.
The work of the board upon reach
ing Omaha was largely of routine
or "red tape" nature. Though the fed
era1 board appointed the directors and
officers, naming them for their respec-
tive positions, it was necessary for the
new appointees to meet and organize,
formally electing again to the respee.
tive positions those whom the federal
government had already appointed for
these places.
The registrar, the secretary and the
treasurer were then by the board ap-
pointed as the executive committee of
the board. They are: Frank G. Odell
of Omaha, f: D. Morcun1 of Sioux
Falls and NJ. L. Corey of Hastings.
Treasurer Morcum and Registrar
Corey will take up their residence in
Omaha as soon as they are able to
arrange their personal affairs at home,
as will also President D. P. Hogan.
Vice President J. M. Carey of Chey-
enne, former governor of Wyoming,
will not likely move to Omaha, as it
is not required that he be resident
of the city in which the bank is To-
Gated.

Kaiser Still Holding Americans
Because of Infectious Dis

of the Yarrowdale pris0ssseS is bring
ing the controversy to stage OF eX-
treme gravity.
Accounted from the first perhaps
the most serious difficulty between the
two countries aside from the subma-
rine itself, the Yarrowdale case has
been a source of growing concern
and indignation among officials, some
of whom now are convinced that Ger
many's intention is nothing more nor
less than to hold the American sea-
men as hostages pending decision
as to peace or war,
\ Insult to U. S.
Such an act would be regarded here
as not only a fragrant violation Of
international law and treaty rights,
but an open insult to the dignity and
good faith of the United States
Although no official advices report
ing the redetention of the seamen had
reached the State department tonight,
another inquiry regarding them was
sent through the Spanish ambassador
in Berlin as soon as Washington Off
cials saw news dispatches saying they
would not be liberated at present be-
cause of disease at their camp. In
most quarters the reported cause for
redetention was regarded as only a
pretext.
