STATUS OF IRISH ALIENS IN AMERICA
Some Misrepresentation exists to the effect of the
treaty between the United States Great Britain in
relation to the draft law the status of Irshmen in
this country who have become citizens thereof The
provision of the treaty in this respect may be summarized
follows
~ lrishmen who have not taken their first papers
are still subjects of Great Britain and amenabe to
the British draft laws under which age
18 to A years.
() Irishmen who have declared their intention
citizens of the United States taken
out their first papers, have the option joining the
British army within sixty days. and they fail so,
they become amenable to the draft laws of the United
States, and may be drafted into the American army.
In the of those who seek exemption the ground
of not having taken first papers, satisfactory of
this fact must be submitted to the local boards
Those who have declared their intentions to become
citizens of the United States though still subjects of
Great Britain be drafted Notwithstanding under the
United States law for the American army
For the of stating the matter simply and clearly
should be remembered that these regulations apply only
to of Irish birth, and not to British subjects of
other nationates. To the latter different rule applies
may be presumed, may add, that few rishmen will
be found to exercise the option above menonedthat of
joining the British rather than the Omitted States army

SCHOOL FACULTY MAY CHANGE

The patrons of u schools will be in
terested to know that at the meeting
of the Board of Education, Mr.. Helm
stated that in view of the fact that
prices are continually on the rise and
feeling that he could very possibly he
could DO better elsewhere, that unless
the Brard could give a substantial raise
in salary he felt he should tender his
resignation.
After discussion his resignation was
rendered to take effect at the close OF
the present year, and accepted.
The Board then made contract with
Prof. Rawlins to take the superintend-
ency for next year at $4,000. 90 per year.
In losing Mr.. Helm the schools lose a
valuable superintendent and the manner
in which the schools have impressed
signify that fact.
In Prof. Rawlins we feel that the
schools will have at their head one of
foremost educators of the state and that
our Board is not experimenting in en-
gaglng him.
The Board also accepted the resig-
nation of DIR. HOLSTER as a Board mem
Der and appointed Archie Potter to ill
out hist term.
We feel that the community has lost
two valuable citizens in the going of
Prof Helm and DR.. HOLSTER as well
as two of the top-notch school men and
while we regret to see them go, we
wish them nothing but the best in the
new locations and their capabilities en-
title to the best that is going.
