A NEW HONOR ROLL

Added to the roll of honor of
American citizens are the names of
those German residents Of Washing
ton who yesterday became natural
lied citizens. They form the van
guard of long list of such men who
will do the same thing.
Aliens who have resisted the thor
oughgoing effort of the Bureau of
Naturalization to have them take out
citizenship papers now are anxious
to set themselves right in the land
of their adoption by cutting loose the
ties with a land that has clinched a
clear case of being entirely out of
harmony with our ideals.
A warm welcome should await
these men who have undertaken, by
reason of careful thought and con-
sidered judgment, to accept the priv
ileges that came to many millions as
hirthright. Their act betokens con-
viction in contrast to what may too
frequently become a commonplace
among those who inherit American
citizenship.

CITY GARDENING

Some months ago The Times sug-
gested the unusual possibilities
Washington affords in the develop
ment of home gardening. Other
cities are seeking to make use Of
vacant lots in this manner, and even
in congested New York, building lots
in outlying sections which hitherto
yielded revenue only to real estate
spectators, have been developed into
tracts which produce potatoes and
other vegetables.
Recently the United States
Bureau Of Education has published
a monograph, worth the study of
city dwellers, showing how other
cities have utilized such waste space.
In a recent interview E. L. Thurston,
superintendent of schools, indicated
that effort was to be made to in
terest school children in this form
of gardening.
Hitherto the home and school gar
den idea has been projected largely
along decorative lines. The economic
possibilities of such work are tre-
mendous. They have been satisfac-
torily demonstrated in European
cities. Work done by children in
raising food products in their own
back yards and on vacant lots not
only would have a bearing on family
incomes, but it would be of distinct
educational value. 1t already has
been suggested that if such garden
ing is developed sufficiently it might
figure in the credits pupils get for
school courses. The effort they could
expend in this fashion would repre-
sent the sort of experimental and con-
structive work that is greatly needed
in the present cut-and-dried school
courses. It's possibilities are worth
the careful study Of the Washington
Board of Education.

CENSORSHIP

The natural prospect is for a mill
tary and naval censorship of news
publication in the event Of a state of
war existing between Germany and
the United States. The matter has
been studied in the War Department
and the War College division has
prepared a bill by which Congress
would impose such restrictions. The
reason and necessity for such con-
troll of publicity is well understood,
and citizens generally will submit
willingly to a censorship, obviously
part of the proper conduct of war.
But this nation is strong for know
ing things and for "being shown" It
is impossible, of course, to carry on
a war as a debating society is con-
Quoted and to indulge the yearnings
of theorists and littlewits to address
the country at length in obstruction
list twaddle. Yet it is perfectly true
that the country will be most keenly
interested in every detail of events
from now on. The strain under
which the nation has held its tongue
for more than two years has been a
severe one.

comfort to the enemy-if the United

More important than a require
ment that every alien entering this
country shall be able to read and
write some language would be re-
quirement that every alien who be-
comes an American citizen must
within a reasonable time learn to
read and write the language of this
country.
The continued fostering of alien
and anti-American ideals by a for
eign language press is not to be con-
templated with complacency. There
should be one creed of Americanism
for all Americans and but one LAM
guage for its expression. The ex-
preston of thought in print through
a foreign language, whatever it be,
erects barrier the more dangerous
because it is intangible against the
growth Of American ideals.
Every artificial hindrance to the
assimilation of the various peoples
who come to the United States into
one people should be done away with.

FINANCIAL PREPAREDNESS

Fear that the tide of gold which
has poured into our Golfers since the
war started, that the abounding
prosperity of commerce and industry,
that our rapid emergence into high
place among creditor nations might
be unsafe has been swept aside in
the last few days by the realization
that we may need all our resources
in case of war.
How strongly we are intrenched
financially, how stanch is our eco
nomic preparedness, is indicated in
the annual report of the Comptroller
of the Currency, just submitted to
Congress.
Securities of foreign governments
and other foreign holdings Of ma
tional banks up to December 27,
1916, are shown to reach the unpre-
cedented figure of 1921, ,993, 900. Fur
thermore, the records of national
banks in about 100 cities showed
that direct loans to business men Of
other nations aggregated $136, 6,669,-
900. In other words, our total credit
balance. against other countries
amounts to $45s,662,000. All Of
which does not represent in any de-
gree a crippling Of our own develop
ment or withdrawal of any funds
needed in operation or extension Of
cur own industries.
How, strongly we have stepped out
into the worlds market place is fur
ther indicated by the report on clear
ing house figures, which show that
the transactions have reached the
enormous total Of $241, ,407 ,541, 900,
an increase over the previous year
of more than SIS, 200, ,00O, 900.

COOPERATION

Approval of the Presidents action
in finally breaking the form of ma
tional friendship with Germany
flashes from every corner Of this
great country. The nations heart is
touched. Now let its mind be en-
listed.
1t is everybody's business to stand
behind the President; everybody ad-
mits that. Hence it follows directly
that it is everybody's business to
support the plans and obey the or
ders of the Presidents department
heads. The people should trust the
plans of the competent soldiers and
sailors whose ideas will govern the
country's preparations for an acute
emergency.
\ Those plans have been made by
experts, and the present comment
and criticism of individual amateurs
can and should be, dispensed with
completely. This admonition should
apply with special force to the To-
quacity of such citizens as profess
to believe in a policy of non-resist-
ance to attack. The layman's advice
is generally useless; the pacifst's
prattle in the present situation is too
offensive for tolerance.
It is the business Of the American
The Washington times., 1917-02-06
URGENT PRECAUTIONS

The German crisis should remind
the United States to be on its guard
in a multiplicity Of small matters.
The experience of 1915 taught this
country in what directions it might
expect treachery and mischief in case
of new difficulties with Germany. No
loophole must now be left unguard-
ed through which the earlier at
tempts may be repeated or initiated.
Guard on the Presidents person
already has been strengthened and
precautions should be extended
against insane acts. No enemy Of
fetal need be suspected of seeking to
do violence to him, but the cranks
are likely to be stimulated by the
excitement of popular feeling.
A reasonable degree Of surveil-
lance should be kept on all the official
representatives of Germany to make
sure that they do not pursue an avo-
cation of conspiracy after the ex-
ample of Boy-Ed, Won Papen, and
certain consular officials. The public
mind must be prepared for a pos
sible renewed outbreak of organized
pro-German agitation. for terrifying
stories of a German military organi-
zation of million men in this coun-
try, and what not. The German ship
ping now at refuge in American
ports must be checked in any at
tempt to steal out and turn suddenly
from refugee into freebooter on the
American coast or to Seek the bot
tom as one interned vessel has al
ready done. ..
Precautions are, needed aboard
every American ship, at every dock
where sugar may be dosed with
bombs or grain poisoned or coal set
afre. American military and naval
stations must not be. allowed to suf
fer as did the navy yards in 1915
Warships must be guarded. All mu-
milton plants, being potentially val
liable to the nation, should be guard
ed as thoroughly as if they were
Government property. Railroad
bridges, tunnels, the Panama and
other canals need a like protection.
Mexico as point Of exterior
trouble will watch for an opportunity
Of which advantage may be taken
against US. Under the circumstances
the withdrawal of Pershing was i'll
timed, in a respect that the Presi-
dent could hardly have foreseen, for
it gives Carranza and Villa fresh
confidence.
These are only few Of the points
at which the discomforts of strained
relations with Germany will threaten
US. They are the most obvious, how
ever, and the nation is entitled to ex-
pect wide-awale official watchful-
ness in each Of the directions we
have indicated.
The Washington times., 1917-02-06

States takes the field against any
enemy-should get past the expert
guardian of the country's history In
the making. On the other hand, no
mere sense of arbitrary power should
ever impel the official blue pencil.
The country has a right to the maxi
mum of genuine information, and
should not be asked to submit to
more than the least possible degree
of censorship Of legitimate news. 1t
is for all the newspapers to support
the Governments hands by compli-
ance with all needed regulation.
There will be plenty of news, in any
event, and no good ever results from
attempted evasion of a general rule
established for the general good.

HENRY FORD

Our hats must come of to Henry
Ford, red-blooded citizen of these
United States. Likewise to the dozen
or SO other American manufacturers
and business men who yesterday
called at the Navy Department and
proffered their services and the
property that is theirs to the use of
the United States in case there is
war.
Mr.. Ford is quoted recently as
stating he would not give $5 for all
the art to be had in our galleries,
but some time ago he proved he was
the sort of dreamer that artists are
made of by engaging a ship and tax
ing a party abroad to end the war
by Christmas. When a specialist
emerges from his speciality into the
realm Of international politics, as Mr..
Ford, or into the field of religion, as
Mr.. Edison occasionally does. the re-
suits are apt to be startling. Evil
dence points to the fact that before
Mr.. Ford got far out of sight of land
with his belligerent crew of assorted
peacemakers he realized the futility
of it all and retired in silence to his
stateroom.
1t now develops that Mr.. Ford did
not need the object lesson of aviators
who suggestively dropped paper
bombs on his home and factories in
Detroit. He may be a dreamer, but
he also is a very practical and loyal
American. He proved it yesterday.
