laundry bills are q large item in their
monthly expenditures. The white
uniforms cannot be worn longer than
a few days at a time. It is asserted
that the price for washing and iron
ing these uniforms here is 10 cents
each, while the same work is done in
Baltimore for from IS to so cents,
and in Norfolk for 80 cents.
at may be considered undignified
to speak OF such matters said a naval
officer to The Times, but we are
human beings like others. The war
has brought no additional compensa-
ton. Our salaries remain stationary
except as there is advancement in
rank, and, naturally, we feel the
touch of the high cost OF living"
The statement of Washington laun-
drymen is that they take unusual
pains with the work of their navy
customers, and that It is done better
here than elsewhere.

The seventy Dutch ships loaded with
grain and lying idle in New York harbor,
lend new aspect to the neutral shipping
situation prior to the embargo of July Is.
The owners of the ships, supported by the
Dutch government, refuse to unload the
cargoes or to take the grain elsewhere than
to Amsterdam, where it is reasonable to
belize part of it, at least, might find its way
across the frontier to add to the food sup
ply of Germany. Recent developments have
shown conclusively that the embargo was
justified on grounds other than conserva.
ton of food supplies for our allies. Refusal
OF certain neutral ship owners to accept the
embargo and place their vessels in other
highly renumeratie trade, preferr1ne %
allow much needed tonnage to remain idle
strengthens that proof.
The suggestion of the governmental that
the neutral ships assist in moving the 15O
OOO,OOO bushels of wheat awaiting ship
ment from Australia was reasonable, and
that it was rejected seems to prove the
owners of the ships to be influenced by
other than strictly business interests
The simplest way to put the carriers in
use would be for the American goernment
to commander them, making reasonable
payment to the owners, and operating them
to relieve the tonnage shortage Such &C
ton is fully justifiep by International law
that America has not resorted to it before
is further evidence of the desire of this
country to extend neutrals every possible
consideration. However, with the present
demand for bottoms seriously hindering
our coastwise shipping and with every
availible American vessel operating to
full capacity it would be short-sighted
policy, indeed to allow fleet of large boats
to lie idle in our harbors just because they
are not permitted to operate in a manner
inimical to American interests

URGES NATURALIZATIO OR
DEPORTATION.

Foreigners In this country are bewildered
by our leniency toward alien enemies
They are surprised that we will counte-
nance the presence here of organizers of
d1sloyalty who, while en- Toying the privi-
leges and protection of American institu-
tons, are unwilling to assume the obliga-
tions of citizenship
The Kuryer Polski, a Polish newspaper
published at Milwaukee, urges that our
laws pertaining to immigration and citizen
ship be revised so as to limit the time that
foreigner may reside here without de-
claring his intention of becoming an Amer
lean citizen. 1t believes two years ample
time for investigation and determination
as to whether this is better country than
any other, and says: eff the Immigrant is
not sufficiently satisfied with America at
the end of that period to become a citizen.
the chances are he never will be satisfied
and should leave. If he does not leave he
should be deported"
Continuing the Kuryer says: ''This is
not a boarding house of all nations Either
are we Americans, or back we go to our
native land. Either are we ready to serve
this republic in time of danger like the
presently, or ought not to be entitled to
the benefits of American citizenship
While none should be compelled to &C
cept citizenship in this or any other coun-
try it would be just law which would
compel all who enjoy the benefits of living
i'll America to accept the duties of citizen
ship or leave the country.

One Hundred and Sixty-Fourth Day of
America in the War.
REMEMBER THE SOLDIERS AT
CHRISTMAS-TID

The United States will have more than
one million men under arms By Christmas,
and it is worthy work that the Red Cross
has undertaken in preparing to provide
each of them with a Christmas packet.
To the man in training camp or far away
across the seas, there is nothing that will
so gladden. the heart as package from the
folks back bone" Of course, the great
majority will be we'll remembered by loving
relatives and friends, but the soldier boys
cannot be too we'll remembered at Christ
mas time, and the Red Cross packages will
be gladly welcomed. Then, there is posi-
bility of delayed deliveries and insufficient
addresses in war times, and some of the
men might be entirely missed when the
holiday gifts are distributed but for the
Red Cross packet.
Money cannot be taken from Red Gross
funds to supply the gifts, but everybody
will wish to send at least one packet to
man in the service, and it is believed that
voluntary contributions for this specific
purpose will provide enough gift boxes for
every enlisted man.
And while the Red Cross is making its
plans to provide for the army as a whole,
it is a good time to remind individuals who
wish to remember Individual members of
our fighting forces that Christmas is little
more than two months away and that it
takes long time to transport packages to
the front
Prepare your gift packages now and
start them on the way, so that there will
be no disappointment on Christmas morn
ing, and SO that your loved ones in far-off
France will know that you are thinking of
them and wish them the fullest possible
measure of happiness at the season when
remembrance counts for more than at any
other time.

AMERICA REBUILDING NORTHERN

America is already restoring portions of
the devastated districts of northern France.
Almost as soon as the Germans had been
pushed back, surveys were being made for
provisional reconstruction under direction
of the Red Cross More than fifty villages
were visited and three, located in the areas
most suitable for the growing of wheat,
were selected for the first work of reclaim
alton. Nearly all the houses were without
ROOFS without windows and door frames
and with absolutely no furniture or uten-
sis. Everything that could be burned was
destroyed and the dwellings so that refu-
gees may return and cultivate the soil
Owing to the scarcity of lumber only tenn
porary repairs will be attempted and brick
and lime will be manufactured on the spot
The French government has rushed great
batteries of tractors into the districts to be
restored, so that there will be no delay in
planting the wheat so>essential to>mainten-
ance of the allied troops and the feeding
of the French people next year Through
the assistance given by the American relief
association many acres may be sown this
fall.
America was expected to rebuild France
and Belgium after the war. In undertaking
the reconstruction almost before the enemy
has retired, this country shows that it is
alive to its responsibilities and is prepared
to meet them with promptness and eff
cheney.

PRO-GERMANS MISS THE POINT.

Pro-Germans and others who raise the
objection that America has no right to die
tate what kind of government Germany
shall hae, or who shall govern that coun-
try, miss the point entirely. Aside from d
purely humane interest, we do not care
what kind of government Germany has-at
home But when the German government
starts out on a marauding expedition to
ravish and ruin other peoples, it becomes
an object of deep concern to the rest of the
world, and the threatened countries have
full right to demand that the Prt1ssian war
lords be curbed. Had President Wilson
done less he would have failed in his duty
toward America. The common enemy must
be destroye6-that enemy is the German
government as now constituted.

Married Life The First Year

Nurse" she called family, ''bring
me hand glass"
The nurse hurried to the bed.
"Why, you don't want hand glass
now, doy no? You're not well
81 want hand glass, and j want
to have that blind raised by the bed
so that | can see."
There was something in her voice
that made the nurse think it would
excite her less to humor her than to
refuse, so she brought the glass.
Helen held it up before her face,
and examined each feature more
critically than she had ever exam
ined them before. Was she the cause
of baby's LONELINESS? Warren's regu-
lar, clean-cut features were unques-
homeland her's?.
She had always thought her fea-
lures were good; she had always
been considered very pretty" But
that was perhaps because of her hair
now that she never took very good pic
lures, and after all, pictures were the
test of ones features.
Her mouth-she had never thought
it large before-but now, when she
thought of the pictures-and the
baby's mouth-and the baby's
Disillusion.
She let the glass fall to the floor;
hid her face in the pillow and burst
into tears.
The nurse bent over her in alarm.
"Mrs. Curtis! Mrs. Curtis-you
mustn't cry like that! You'll start
your fever again. And just because
you look little thin and pale! Why,
you'll be yourself in a week or so, if
you don't make yourself sick again
now"
ooh, no, no, it isn't because I'm
thin or pale" sobbed Helen. "It's
because the baby's so ugly, and it
doesn't look like Warren, so it must
look like me-"
The nurse had sense of humor,
and in spite of her anxiety for her
patient, she could not help smiling.
But when Helen sobbed on and
would not be comforted she became
both impatient and alarmed. War
rem had just come in, his face full of
anxiety.
;'She's taken some absurd idea
that the baby's ugly" the nurse
whispered hurriedly, land that it re-
sembles her. / can't do anything
