LANSING WOULD EXEMPT ALIENS
Treaty Rights Being Violated by Pres
ent Law, Declares Secretary.

Washington-Ame OF the
draft law so as to exempt citizens
or subjects of neutral countries who
have declared their intention to be-
come American citizens is proposed III
u bill prepared by the war department
in conjunction with the state depart
ment and introduced by Chairman Dent
of the house military committee.
Secretary Lansing advised MIR. Dent
that the state and war departments
"are strongly of the opinion that, from
the standpoint Of international rela-
tions, it is highly undesirable that the
existing law should stand, unmodified,
as evidence of a disregard of treaty OBJ
legations or even supposed rule OF
international conduct heretofore OBJ
served by other governments"
Secretary Lansing estimated that
counting out citizens or subjects of
treaty countries who, it is assumed,
should be exempted the proposed
amendment would exclude about 10000
men, of whom not more than so per
cent, and probably not less than 30
per cent, would be found eligible for
military service" OF the 10000, he
estimated that one-half are citizens of
Mexico and about 40 per cent are
subjects Of Scandinavian countries.

AMERICAN LABOR
TO HELP WIN WAR
FEDERATION ENDORSES AIMS OF
UNITED STATES AS SET FORTH
BY THE PRESIDENT.
The Worlds Workers vitality Inter
ested In Crushing Autocracy, Says
American Federation Of Labor
Council in Statement.

Washington labOr's en-
dorsement of war aims as stated by
President Wilson, and recognition that
the war against Prussianism is a
working mans war is recorded in a
declaration issued Sunday by the exec
utive council of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor
The declaration says the peace par
leys between Russia and Germany
have shown the futility of diplomatic
negotiations until the German militar-
lists are convinced they cannot super
impose their will on the rest of the
world, and that spontaneous uprisings
In Germany have demonstrated that
the military government still Is
stronger than the movement there for
emancipation. A gigantic struggle lies
ahead and now is a time when all
workers must soberly face the grave
Importance of their daily work, says
the declaration.
One passage of the declaration says
1.-The hope of labor lies in opportunity
for freedom. The workers of America
will not permit themselves to be de-
ceived or deceive themselves into
thinking the fate of the war Will not
vitally change our own lives. A vic
tory for Germany would mean a pan
German empire dominating Europe
and exercising world balance OF
power which Germany will seek to eX-
tend by force into world control.
"Prussian rule means supervision,
checks, unfreedOm in every relation OF
life.
"Prussianism has its roots in the OLD
ideal under which men sought to rule
by suppressing the minds and Wills OF
their fellows; it blights the new ideal
of government without force or chains

perfect freedom for ALL
