EDITORIAL.

EDITORIAL.
Our buyer of linens has been
pestering the lie out OF us
for an editorial about his
Linen Department in its
new location But you can't
blame him, for he really has
one of the prettiest depart
ments you ever saw.
The Linen Department is now
located at the Sth street en-
under the balcony.
1t is extremely well lighted, and
there are good wide aisles
between the numerous tables.
so that there is no crowding
in getting about.
There is an extremely good as
sortment of table linens, etc.
considering the scarcity OF
flax It's true there are
several substitutes. but they
are SO pretty that no one
objects to them.
We would invite you to pay this
new Linen Department visit.
Now, Mr.. Linen Buyer, we've
done our duty.

patents granted to all aliens except
British subjects. who paid $500. The
fee for an American citizen was then as
now but $50. These discriminatory
laws were repealed about the time of
the Civil War. and since that time alien
inventors have enjoyed about the same
rights. in this country as American
citizens.
In previous wars the general prin
ciple in this country with regard to
property owned by enemy aliens has
been that agents of these owners might
collect the income from such property,
but could not send this income out OF
the country while the war was in
progress. This principle will probably
be the basis of all laws which Congress
will pass during the present war, with
regard to property owned by aliens.
The action which Germany has taken
or intends to take with regard t.
patents owned in that country by
Americans is not yet known to the
American Patent Office. Action taken
by Germany, might affect that taken
by the United States, but it is not
at all probable that Germany will take
any confiscatory measures, in view of
the vast patent interests which she has
IN this country.
GeIman-owned patents in the United
States are both numerous and varied
The report of the Commissioner of
Patents for the year ending last Deem.
Der shows that SAT patents were taken
out by German citizens. England was
the only country showing a larger
number with 975, while French citizens
took out 300.
While a law must be passed by Con
gress before the use of German owned
patents can be made available to
American citizens, no such law is nee
essary in the case of the United States
Government. 1t can and will use at
once any German patents which are of
value in prosecuting the war.

Draft Questions Are Received
By Governor Stewart

ing the registration of Montana
men for war draft were received
by Gov. S. V. Stewart today. They
will not become effective until the
conscription law is passed and
President Wilson issues his procla-
nation.
The registration will apply to
every man, citizen or alien, of draft
age. Twelve. questions will be
asked. They are:
Name in full, age in years, home
address, date of birth; are you
natural born citizen? Naturalized
citizen? An alien? A declarant?
CA naturalized citizen is one who
has received final papers, or who,
born in a foreign country, is the
son of a man who became natur-
allied citizen before the son was
81 years of age, providing the son
came to the United States under
the age of 81. A declarant is a
citizen of a foreign country who
has taken out first papers. You
are not a declarant if your first
papers was taken out after Sept.
26, 1906, or if the paper is more
than seven years old.) Where
were you born, town, state, coun-
try? If not citizen, of what
country are you a subject? What
is your present trade, occupation
or office; by whom employed?
Have you father, mother, wife,
child under IL, or a sister rbroth-
er under 12solely dependent upon
youforsupport? Married or single?
Race? What military service have
you had? Do you claim exemp-
ton from draft?
In answering the question as to
the present trade, occupation or
office one follows, the person reg
istered is cautioned: "This does
not ask what you once did, nor
what you have done most OF the
time, nor what you are best fitted
to do. 1t asks what your job is
right now."
In answering the questions rel
ative to dependents, this caution
is given: Consider your answer
thoughtfully. If it is true that
there is another mouth than your
own which you alone have a duty
to feed, do not let your military
ardor interfere with the wish OF
the nation to reduce wars misery |
TO a minimum. On the other hand,
unless the person you have in
mind is solely dependent on you,
do not hide behind the peticoats
of children. Remember that this
answer alone will not exempt you
from liability to service"
Information regarding military
service concerns not alone military
service in the United States but
in the world. Rank of
service, branch of service will be
inquired into.
This explanation is made re-
garding exemptions: Because you
claim exemption from draft, it by
no means follows that you are ex-
empt. For the information of the \
war department you should make
4 claim now if you intend to pros
,cute it. Some persons will be
exempted on account Of their oc-
or offices, some on ac-
count of the fact that they have
'elatives dependent upon them for
Your answer touching
hese things will be important in
the claim you now in
end to make in your answer to
he present questions. In stating
grounds you claim as exempting
,ou use one of the following
erms: If you claim to be an ex-
cutive, Legislative or judicial Of
icer of the state or nation. Ii
ou are in the military or naval
ervice and this is your ground,
imply say, Military service of the
United States" or naval service :

alleged Stacker before United states Com
missioner Long today.
Edward Algard, the son of farmer near
Hagersville Bucks County, was arrested
yesterday by agents of the Department or
Justice on information supplied by neigh
bors of tho Algard family that he had not
registered and was within the draft age.
At the hearing today Algarn said he had
been told by his mother. and IT appeared
in the family Bible. that he had been born
in 1885 The physician who attended the
mother when he was born and the clergy
man who baptized him testified that both
these important events had occurred in
1883, which would make him twenty-nine
years old
Commissioner Long was of the opinion
that Algard's mistake had been honest and
born of his mothers story, so, instead of
sending him to Jail. released him on $1,000
bail and his promise to register for the
National Army.
In the absence OF proof that the mother
had intentionally tried to interfere with the
draft, there will be 10 further proceedings
