The Alien Belongs On
the Firing Line In This
Fight For Democracy

w nat has struck the lhoughlIul AMER
lean in connection with our war prepa-

cans are being made % bear their full
part in lighting the country's battles
while the alien enjoys al our Liberties
and privileges and is subject TO none Of
the duties.
The draft applies 70 Americans born
here or made citizens. and not to the
man who did not think enough Of the
blessings he enjoyed here 20 cease being

OF course. no one wants alien enemies
in our armies and We are ready and
willing 10 acknowledge international Iaw
forbids forcing natives II reu,ra. coun-
tries 70 help night our battles and thus
take part in a quarrel from which their
rulers have refrained,
But the same thing does not apply 20
the hundreds Of thousands u aliens who
are natives Of countries az war with
Germany.
If they were AZ home az the present
time they Would be in the armies Of
France, England Russia and Italy.
Il is. therefore rio more than right
and just that they be compelled 70 do
TIER part in this night Tor democracy.
The McCumber resolution adopted by
the United states senate looks TO that

tiate with the allies for consent 70 draft
their nationals in our armies.
The government has already started
negotiations and these should be pushed
70 a conclusion with utmos, rapidity.
When millions Of men Of the allied
countries are in the trenches and We are
preparing 70 send millions Of our own
boys to battle. il should not be difficult
70 reach an agreement with the allies
whereby another great sourse Of man
power might be tapped for the common
cause
Every able-bodied young Englishman
Frenchman, Russian and Italian in this
country, not naturalized, should be
available for military purposes.
We can't afford TO ship them across to
their native lands so they can join the
home armies. but We can certainly make
use OF them in our own military bodies.
BY fighting with Us. they Will also be
fighting for their native lands.
They will be fighting the kaiser.
They viii be doing their bit.
They will not be in the position q
specially favored slackers. protected in
their immunity from service both by
America and the allies.
They will not be left here 70 take the
pick Of the Jobs. while real Americans
are doing the fighting
They will not remian here 70 do all
the prospering while other men make
all the sacrifices.
Their place is on the1fring line.
America wants them there alongside
her own sons.
And the allies. doubtless. want them
there. too.
The allies could not hold a rod r.
pickle for the Stacker at home and, az
the same time, encourage and protect
the Stacker abroad.

The Blessed Women
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
copyright. 1915. by Frank crane)

| have recently met two remarkable
women. They are noticeable because
they excel in the only art in which wo-
men Will always excel men-in child
craft.
Once, it is said, the wisest man was
told by Jehovah TO ask for the one thing
he wanted. He asked for "the under
standing heart" Qiterally, "the hearing
hearth He got it; and his name, Solo
mon, became a symbol of wisdom for all
time.
What Solomon asked for God also gave
these two women.
They understand!
If | were a Millionaire, instead of look
ing around for some moss-covered and
worm-eaten institution TO endow. infest-
ed with all the white mice and mealy
bugs that live in the cracks of insttu-
tons, and do nothing forever and ever
but glorify and extend the past and its
stupidities. | would find me some live
human beings, full of the future, and full
of hope of deiverance from the ghost
cursed past, and would endow them.
And I'd begin with these two women.
One small quiet talking, humorously
smiling of clear head and soft voice and
giant will and hope and faith Of the sort
little David had when he stood up against
Goliath She's from Fairhope. Alabama,
where she teaches school, and her name
is JohnSon-yes, just plain, everyday
Johnson.
Marietta L. Johnson has "the hearing
heart" She knows what children want
They want to play. not to work, just as
the rest of US. And she teaches them by
play
She has the idea Of school for tho
little ones where there are no books, no
tasks. no desks, no set hours. no tests, no
requirements.
What then? Why, only to study and
to know the child. and develop in all it's
symmetric beauty what God so we'll be-
gan.
It's too long to explain here in detail
But it's a ravishing story. It's wonder
ful to see this fecund minded, radiant,
fearless woman playing hob with all the
standardized nonsense of education, and
leading the little children up TO ripeness
and power by the lanes of Joy.
And the other woman is of New York
She is Mrs. Mother Stoner. she
calls herself-but don't let that deceive
YOU for she looks more like a girl for
romp than like sedate and motherly
soul
Mrs Stoner is the champion Of the
superchld. why should all children be
put in ockstep? Why should the bright
est child, the potential genius. be held
back by the subnorma slow, or careless
child" she asks.
And she knows the answer. With her
the children dance and sing and frolic,
and the first thing you know they are
talking Greek and spouting botany and
chemistry and explaining to you higher
mathematics and all that sort of thing,
because this woman too has found the
way TO JOY.
Mrs Johnson calls her theory organic
education, and Mrs. Stoner calls hers nat
ural education But both of them are do
ing work that will be the blessing of our
chiIdren's children in what DR.. Dewey
calls "The School Of Tomorrow.

tors. the path of Mr.. Hoover and MS as
sociates has been made just so much
more difficult.
The manner in which congress has
played into the hands of the food pirates
by its dilatory tactics. multiplying, in part,
the effect of the measure passed. will go
down in history as one of the scandals
of the war.
1t is charged that the country is filed
with slackers.
The charge is borne out in large meas
ure by failure of drafted men 10 report,
and by the great percentage OF exemp-
ton claims.
In this situation there is aid and COM
fort for the enemy and FOR this stu
alton congress is most TO blame,
There certainly has not been much in
the attitude of congress to encourage or
reassure the man who is asked to pick up
a gun and do HIS bit, and further
fact presents itself in that connection.
For long months after the European
war broke out, we were being told that
II would be impossible for the United
States to keep out of it.
The probability of the United States
finding itself embroiled was responsible
for the preparedness campaign over the
country.
That campaign, however, took account
only of men and ships and powder and
shells-and thereby fell far short of the
most needed preparation.
Our place in the war is now a fact, and
being fact, we are aware il would have
been better to PREPARE the people
Would it not have been better, as a
matter Of fact, TO have passed the food
bill and THEN to have declared war?
The man who comes in touch with pub
lie sentiment knows that there would
have been no doubt in that event Of a
united United States, and will note the
benefit that would have been derived
from its moral effect on Germany.
To have passed the food bill 70 have
passed the fuel regulations to have leg
islated for conservation and for enough
Of both and fuel for rich and poor alike
to have banished ALL booze; to have
granted to women the right 10 vote 10
have taken these steps before il became
necessary TO declare war; TO have first
put our house in order, We would have
entered the fray with the pro-German
propagandists in this country already
routed. without talking point and with
out leg 70 stand on.
We would have entered the war
against a FEARFUL Germany, convinc-
ed Of our common ground and solidarity
In common cause.
There was plenty of reason before we
entered the war for congress to pass the
law it has just passed.
There was absolutely no reason after
we entered the war for not passing the
law Immediately.
The sight of the nations lawmakers
playing politics and favorites. with those
favorites the enemies Of the people and
the enemies of democracy times past
almost admittedly so-did not set well
on The empty stomach of many a drafted
man.
Let the country have some quick re-
suits now from the law and We predict
rapid dropping off in the claims for
exemption, coupled with the appearance
of large number OF those conscripts
who are missing.
The boys simply want TO be shown.
We are giving you no opinion here.
We ARE giving you FACTS.
