TNEMY ALIENS
 CANNOT GET PAPERS
(Fror Fridays Daiiy.)

Citizenship cannot be conferred on man of German birth during the ,eriod of a war between that nation nd the United States.
 Petitions for first papers and decla- -ations of intention to become Amer can citizens on the part of German -ubjects, will be accepted, however.
 These were instructions to the
 Jerk of the Superior court, carried a letter from Richard K. Campbell, commissioner of naturalization of the department of agriculture, and receiv- ed yesterday.
 The department of agriculture has been in conference with the depart nent of State regarding the status of applicants who, on a declaration oi war or of state of war by congress. will be known as "alien enemies" No definite stand has been taken by the department as yet. but pending de- cision, the mere declaration of inten- ton by an enemy alien will not con fer citizenship or any of the rights and privileges thereof Passports will not be issued by the department of State to holders of first papers; in fact, this practice has been discon- tinued during the war in Europe.
 The communication also defined the oath to be taken by Russians renounc- ing allegiance to that country Here tofore, the oath has read: q re- nounce allegiance to the czar of the Russias." Now, 1t will read: "I re- nounce allegiance to the present gov ernment of Russia"

SHOW WINDOWS AS
 AID TO THE NAVY
(From Fridays Daily.)

NEIOIU IIlQdy ; odliy.J Show windows that have been fea- turing Easter headwear and dainty garments during the last few weeks arS to be turned to patriotic service n response to President Wilson's proclamation increasing the United States navy to full strength of s. GOO men.
 From April g to IA. thousands oi Americas foremost merchants have ignified their intention of devotine !7nc or several show-windows to dis plays that will have as their keynote, Your Country Needs You for Ser rice in the Navy"
 The Navy Publicity Bureau, New York, under the direction of Com nander K. NJ. Bennett, has furnished to these patriotic business men, photo graphs of interesting and thrilling naval scenes for use in their "Navy Week" displays, as we'll as illustra- lions of a suggested arrangement with the following. pertinent phrases 1corporatcd on show cards:
 "25,OOO men are needed for your navy now"
 During l40 years of splendid achievement, the navy has been the first line of defense"
 Tomorrow it may be required to rotect you from foreign invasion"
 Get acquainted with the splendid opportunities the navy has to offer o young men"
 You are proud of your navy-Now s the time to do your part to ;rengthen it."
 The Navy League and other patri- o.ic organizations will take an active part in enlisting the assistance of merchants who have not yet been ad- -ised ol the movement. Arrange -:lents have been made for local re- -ruiting officers to assist in accom- 7lishing the greatest possible results -om the campaign.
 In several instances already, wom. have volunteered to aid recruiting " stationing themselves in these ores. It is believed this nationwide ublicity will materially assist the ef- '2rts of newspapers in speeding up 7nlistments.
 Naval authorities say that men who nlist immediately will receive a shor; raining before going te sea and at ne end of a year, each one will be of 1ore value as a part of the nations rst line of defense than ten men ~ould be without the training that is bsolutely essential to naval success
 This big campaign will be an i'm Dortant factor in the program to waken the country in the prepared 7css movement.

CFrom Sundays Daily

There is possibility that the state of war may result in an extraordinary session of the legislature unless the national government should take measures for the protection of all the States along the border The national guard becoming a part of the Federal organization and being detailed for other duty, it may devolve upon the 'outhern border States to tighten the btSden of the government by under taking their own defense by the or ganization of special forces
 For such a purpose 1t would be nee essaty for the State to issue bonds, but that could not be done without legislative authority and in the pres

CAMPBELL MADE WOOL EXPERT
 IN ARIZONA
COCONINO STEPHAN IS ENLISTED IN NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MOVE FOR WAR; ACCEPTS JOB UNDER THE N. D. C.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Even before the senate had passed the war resolution, the government of the United States was in divers ways, making preparations for hostilities.
 With the council of national de- fense in active service for several months. it was easy to launch great campaign for preparedness with little delay, immediately upon the dcclara- ton of war But several days ago, one of the first preparedness steps was taken, when the enormous re- sources of the United States, listed months ago, were called in. An ex- ample of this work is found near home. Hugh F. Campbell, a great sheep grower of Coconino county and a State senator, has been made a member for Arizona of the sub-com- inittec on raw wool of the Federal commission of raw materials of the national defense committee.
 Upon the receipt of the following communication, defining his duties, Senator Campbell wired his willing ness 10 enlist in the army of conser- vation:
 Hugh Campbell:
 I am authorized by Bernard
 Baruch, chairman of the Federal
 commission of raw materials of
 the National defense committee,
 to appoint you a member of the
 subcommittee on raw wool and
 to invite you to attend dinner
 with other members of the com-
 mittee at the Shoreham hotel,
 Washington, D. C., Tuesday, the
 tenth. This IS a Federal appoint
 ment and your duties will be to
 assure the government of an ade-
 quate supply of raw wool and,
 probably. il necessary to fix the
 price at which wool should be
 sold. We feel 1t very important
 that you should serve on this
 committee. Please wire me at
 once whether you will accept this
 appointment IT we do not have
 an answer today WIG must name
 someone else. s. \. MCCLURE.
 This message shows that the Unit d States government is going into his war in q thorough manner and will leave no stone unturned to make I'll the national resources count along scientific lines. Most significant is he allusion to the possibility that it nay be found necessary to regulate Inc price of wool so as to secure the highest national efficiency. This reg ,;lation has been adopted in many o! Inc warning nations and would be Q very unusual but undoubtedly neces- 7ary feature of the work this country has cut out for itself to do.
 In accepting the appointment Mir. Campbell leaves at once for Wash ington so as to be present at the meeting alluded to in the telegram. He lays aside all personal business to respond to the call of his country in his important feature of defense work.
