WOULD DRAFT ALIENS
INTOU. s. ARMY RANKS
Representative Porter, of Pitts
burgh, Introduces Bill for
American Foreign Legion"
BD q star Correspondent
WASHINGTON Sc

WASHINGTON, Sept g.
Representative Stephen G. Porter, Of
Pittsburgh has introduced in the House
a bill to extend the provisions of the selec-
tive draft law to citizens of foreign coun-
tries and to enlist them as an american
Foreign Legion" Citizens Of Germany
Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey
who are residents of the United States ale
excepted from the terms of the bill. 1t is
provided that foreigners drafted into the
military forces of this country shall be
grouped into units by nationality so far as
possible, and when so grouped and organ
lied shall, within the discretion of tho
President, be In charge of the respective
nationality.
In order that existing treaties upon this
subject shall not be violated, it is provided
that the act shall not apply to the citizens
of any nation until its Government has for
maly and in writing conveyed to the Pres
ident its approval OF this act, and its assur-
ance that the drafting of its subjects into
| the military forces of the United States Is
entirely satisfactory to such Government,
Notwithstanding any treaty or convention
| to the contrary. 1t also is provided that
| the persons drafted under this act shall be
known as the american Foreign Legion"
| unless the President shall deem such appel
lation inexpedent or incompatible with the
proper administration of the military forces
| of the United States.
Negotiations now are pending between
| the United States and the Allies looking
| to their consent to the drafting of their
citizens into the American army, and 1t is
| to facilitate this movement that Mr.. Porter
has introduced his bill. In discussing its
provisions, Mr.. Porter said today:
section three was inserted so that action
| could be taken at once by Congress and
| thus fortify the state Department in its
| representations to the Allied nations If
| Congress must wait until the negotiations
| are completed and all the red tape unwound
that Is usually connected with such matters
| in my judgment we will never secure the
benefit of the service of these aliens.
'If this bill is enacted into law 1t will
remain only for the Allied Powers to con-
| sent to their nationals being drafted into
| the American army. This will do away
| with the tedious delays of diplomatic inter-
| course"

The Levy Court of Sussex County
which has the building of a bridge
over the Mispillion in hand jointly for
Kent and Sussex Counties. has awarded
the contract to the Juanita Company
of Philadelphia for the sum of $3,-
10000. AS Kent County has no en-
gineer to look after engineering work
and Sussex County has, the plan and
supervision was put up to Sussex, and
when the work is completed Kent will
pay half the bill. This particular
bridge is over the Mispillion River
between Kent and Sussex at the
Draper & Hirsch cannery and the
large shirt factory. The greatest
amount of heavy hauling in Milford
probably passes over this bridge, and
it has been in a dangerous condition
for several years. The bridge was
closed to travel Thursday when work
was started. The other bidders were
Clendaniel & Abbott, of Milford, who
put in bid for $5, 451. 90, and c. R.

School House Problem as
i Reported by Committee Of
i The Fargo Commons Club

without undue delay.
The board Of education has wisely
decided that the new grade building
in the Longfellow district shall have
the rtght-of-way this year, but this
does not do away with the necessity
of caring for the grade children in the
Central district. AS the board of
education finds itself compelled to
abandon the present Longfellow build
ing. as unsuited and insanitary, so for
similar reasons the old Central build
ing, ought to give way in the future
to the demands of more modern equip
ment; yet it can doubtless continue
to be utilized during the construction
Of a new building on the east half of
the present site, and. IL necessary,
could be utilized until the district is
required to build a modern grade
building on the site recently purchased
farther west.
AS to the suggestion that the burn
ed high school be repaired. it is diff
cult to understand the economy of
such a proposition. It seems to us
like sending good money after bad,
and at best the city will have build
ing not at all suited to the growth of
the city and the needs of modern high
school education.
The plan OF having two types of
high schools. one the so-called CLASH
cal. or college preparatory, and the
other the manual training, or techni-
cal, does not fit into the best present
day ideas. Such a division as to pur"
pose and courses would Immediately

In discussing a question Of so vital
concern as the education of the youth
of this city, your committee has deem
ed itwwise to omit from the considera-
tion any issues which concern the past
and which in any way can be con-
strued as personal. The committee
desires to confine it's discussion to the
larger aspects of the question.
We assume that every citizen wants,
firsts efficiency in education. that is
adequate buildings of modern type
with proper equipment; that the
teaching staff shall be of the highest
grade. and that the courses or study
shall be sufficiently varied as to meet
the conditions of modern life fully.
Second. he expects due care to be
exercised in the expenditure Of the
peoples money. to the end that the
