FAMILY ASKS CHANGE
OF ITS GERMAN NAME
John Loesser Schwartz Denounces
Kaiser's Warfare in Application
to Local Court.

Declaring his conviction that Ger
many is responsible for the war and
that he has no patience with the
methods of the German government in
the conduct of its naval operations and
does not wish to be mistaken for a
German or a hyphenate. John Loeser
Schwartz of 1881 Massachusetts avenue
northwest has applied to the District
Supreme Court to change his name to
John Loser Black.
Mrs. Julia Clark Schwartz joins in
her husbands petition and Mr.. Schwartz
also desires that the name Of his two
children be changed. He explains his
selection of the name Black because
1t is the English meaning OF the Ger
man word Schwartz.
The petition of the father, mother and
two children, filed through Attorney
Fulton Lewis. explains that although
having a German name. both parents
are native-born Americans. as were
also their immediate ancestors. Mr..
Schwartz was born in Pittsburgh De-
cember 6. 1868, and Mrs. Schwartz.
whose maiden name was Clark. was
born in Leadville. Col. The Schwartz
family. the court is told. has been in
America since 1899 and for a century
and a quarter the ancestors Of tho pc
titioner have been citizens of this
country.
The name Black. they assert, will ex-
press their American nationality better
than the German form of their name.

Already in this series 1t has been
shown that the nation is mobilizing its
man power and woman power. its nat
ural resources and industrial strength
to meet the clash of war and provide
for unlimited staying powers and en-
durance. 1t has been shown what is
being done and what must be done in
the enlistment of young men in the Ma
rie Corps, the Navy and the Army. 1t
has been shown how raw material is
being provided In gigantic quantities.
how armies of skilled labor are being
concentrated and all branches of in
dustry whether in the making OF war
munitions and providing food supplies
is being done in quantity and stand
ardized. 1t has been shown in broad
way what the Red Cross is doing for
the relief of suffering among soldiers
and among the civil populace in conse
quence of war conditions.
Thus in general way has been
shown the broad avenues of usefulness
In which the patriotic zeal of red
blooded Americans can find place of
activity in the nations defense.

PLANS ARE UNDER WAY
FOR A MILITARY CENSUS
War Department and Census Bureau
Collaborating on Program-Defense
Council Suggestions.

The War Department and census bu-
reau or cola laborating on a plan for a
military census. which will be worked
out within a week. In the meantime
state governors have been asked by the
council for national defense to delay
starting such military census and to
work with the council for furthering
preparedness plans.
Already some states have named de-
fense councils and some have begun
taking censuses of their citizens liable
for military service. Their value to the
War Department, 1t was said today, will
depend on their uniformity, and uni
form plans probably will not be worked
out for a week.
The formation of committee on rub
ber. to cooperate with the council, has
been announced by Commissioner Ber-
nard NJ. Baruch. chairman of the COM
mittee on raw materials Its function
will be to secure a speedy and adequate
supply of rubber for the government.

Value Of Technical Training.

Again, the quartermasteTs headquar-
ters in the War Department has been
deluged with applications from men
seeking missions as ma jor or cap
tain in the reserve corps. quartermas-
ters department. This is berth which
requires very special tanning. and to
secure a commission strict technical
examination must be passed. The very
application blanks filed by many of the
applicants show that they would not
be able to pass this examination Many
of those, however. who are applying
could give valuable service in technical
positions in the enlisted reserve corps.
These are days critical in industrial
and civil life as well as in the interna-
tional affairs of the country. With hun
dTeds Of thousands being called into
military service. food and clothing must
ne provided for these men called away,
maay of them from service in INDUS
I'ics This is NOT a time when buS!-
ness can be allowed to lag. As far as
possible business in the United States
should be encouraged to proceed as
usual. Therefore men and women with
special training in certain lines OF
business will be doing their country
just as certain a service as those that
participate in military preparations or
defense activities.
For the big army that is about to be
mustered. either through some system
of conscription or otherwise, the bread
winners of many families will be called
from their accustomed labors. In con-
sequence many families will be reduced
to need and larger numbers will be
forced to get along on much smaller
subsistence than heretofore. In this
condition of affairs wives and other
members of the soldiers families will
be forced to find employment of various
kinds.

ticular service for which they are spe-

ticuiar service for which they are spe-
cially fitted.
The council of national defense was
organized and its main branches OF
activity systematized because these
men of broad vision recognized the
mistakes that other belligerent coun-
tries have made early in the war in
sacrifcing some of their most skilled
men as food for the great guns. These
very victims would later have been
able to give their country much more
valuable service by providing war sup
plies. The United States has laid plans
to profit by this experience with the
other nations.
Therefore If you have peculiar train
ing. technical or scientific skill, you
should find some place where you can
employ that training and skill rather
than waste your own time and the
time of others who must direct your
efforts by jumping in some branch OF
the service for which you have neither
skill nor training.
