WOULD LIKE TO FIGHT FOR SAM
BUT THEY'RE BRITISH NOW
London, March %. - Americans
now fighting Germans under British
or French flag would rather be doing
it under stars and stripes, judging
from number who have appeared at
embassy to ask how they can trans
fer services direct to U. S. army in
case U. S. goes to war.
They face fact that they have lost
their American citizenship. To be-
come members of British army they
had to swear allegiance to king and
fOrswear allegiance to all other cOun-
tries. Legally, such Americans can
not become American citizens again
without process of naturalization,
but they are confident that congress
will, under the circumstances, enact
special legislation letting them in.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
RESCUED FROM PERIL
L. s. Gunboat Saves Survivors of
Mexican Colony Marooned on
Barren Island.

Mexico City. August 5.--The story
OF the rescue OF eleven Mexican wo-
men and children from probable
death on the barren Clipperton
island. a coral atoll $50 miles off the
Mexican coast. has been related by
members OF the rescued party. who
were landed at Salina Cruz by an
American gunboat. They were the
survivors OF more than 100 colonists
who left for the island in February.
1914. The remainder died from
scurvy or were drowned.
According to the story OF Mrs
Maria Arnaud, widow OF Captain
Arnaud, governor of the island,
shortly after the arrival OF the col
onists, the American schooner Noko-
mis- was wrecked on the island
Thirteen members OF the crew. In
Guiding the captains wife, reached
the shore. where they remained for
several months. while few OF the
sailors rowed back to Acapulco.
On hearing of the suffering OF the
people on the island an American
gunbOat Went there ana TOOK OF the
Americans. but not before they had
materially diminished the food sup
ply OF the colonists. 1t also offered
to take Off the Nexicans, but they
declined the offer. expecting that a
boat with supplies would arrive any
day. Tho boat never came.
When their food was exhausted
the colonists were forced to live on
Ash and. the eggs and flesh OF sea
birds Scurvy set In and more than
half the colonists died. In 1915 Cap

their boat capsized and fits occupants

The party on the island then num-
bered five women. seven children

women lived in constant terror OF the
negro. who continually threatened
them. He murdered one OF the wo-
men. but another woman. unable to
