Must Flag Follow
Marriage Certificate?

G apf
in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
An answer to these questions will be
supplied when Congress votes on the
bill introduced this week by Miss jean
nette Rankin, which grants American
women who marry foreigners the right
to retain their citizenship.
Present conditions make a woman's
Americanism dependent on the most
undependable thing in the world, the
mating instinct-and penalize her for
letting love stray across the boundaries
OF nationality. A woman quite often
is compelled to choose between love of
country and love for man. If she
chooses patriotism her heart must suf-
fer always and if she sacrifices her
citizenship through love she must feel
bitterly the injustice which compels
her to forswear her flag.
Under the law which Representative
Rankin seeks to set aside a woman
:s assumed to be a sort of interna-
tional chameleon. whose patriotism has
no tint of it's own, but takes on the
color of the man she marries.
Under this law the daughter and the
granddaughter of Gen. Grant both for
feited their American citizenship Mrs
Nellie Grant Sartoris became Eng
lishwoman and Julia Grant Cantacu
zene Russian. Mrs Harriet Stanton
Blatch. daughter of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, also forfeited her American
citizenship through marriage. Gladys

has made argument in support of tha t purpose before the supreme court at Washington Had the United States Steel corporation been disrupted by command of the supreme court before we entered into the war as one of the allies, t would have had been impracticable, even in,- possible, for the corporation to give to ths government the assistance which the Secretary of War has asked it to give and which the corporation has promised to give Aside from the construction of the buildings which will be required for this plant there is also the very i'm portant question of equipment. Much time is necessary if large cannon, shells and Howitxers are to be turned out A year ago it was reported by some of the manufacturers that at least a year is required for the manufacture of the largest cannons Of which the government stands in need Now, on account of re- gently highly perfected machinery, these cannons can be turned out in less time than that. The plant itself and it's ma chinery, to say nothing of the raw ma terial which will be required for the making of the implements of war in this great government plant will entail so large an expenditure that it is thought not to be an. unreasonable estimate if the total investment may aggregate as much as four billion dollars.
 HOW THEY COOPERATE

plant is that it will be far removed from any danger which might arise in case the United States were at war with a na- ton which sent its armies to invade this country.
 Two or three years ago when the advo- cates of prepa redness were agitatng that issue, many of them urged the govern ment to establish plants for the manu- faeture of munitions of war at points re- mote from the coast, so that the dan ger which might follow invasion would be lessened The governments enor- nous plant whereby nitrogen obtained from the atmosphere is to be converted into explosive material and. after the war, into fertilizers and other peaceful uses, was located at Muscle Shoals, chief ly because at that point water power which may be raised to the equivalent of six hundred horse power can be se- cured But it was deemed certain that in addition to this utilization of mex haustible natural resources at that point the plant was so situated as to make it substantially immune in case the United States were in danger of invasion by an enemy.
 LESSON IN COOPERATION
 Probably the greatest lesson in value 
 which the government is teaching through Director General McAdoo by the notification of the railroads of the United States. Next to that the most impor- tant lesson which teaches the value of coordination and cooperation will he furnished during the construction and after completion, the operation Of this gigantic manufacturing plant. The gov- ernment could not have done this alone at least not until many years had passed It has required ten or fifteen years to build up the Bethlehem Steel company to it's present magnitude The Krupps in Germany were many years in perfecting their plant, now said to he second to that of the Bethlehem com company Therefore the government called upon the United States Steel cor poration. swing no heed 10 the fact that one department of the administration is seeking to disrupt this corporation and

association and that of itself represents cooperation and coordination. In this way not merely rapidity of construction can be secured, but also economy and efficiency. Presumably the general plans which characterize the United States Steel corporation methods will be adopted. As the corporation has prom. ised to hold iself responsible for the faithful performance of the duty im- posed upon it by the terms of the con- tract, it was inevitable that the war de partment should give to the corporation a. free hand in the construction and oper- ation of this stupendous plant.
 In a little two-line paragraph it was stated that the officers of the steel cor poration and of the subsidiary companies which will aid in this work will re- ceive no compensation for their services. The corporation has contributed many millions in the form of subscriptions 10 Liberty Bonds. It is to be one of the largest tax-pavers when payments are made to the treasury in June; it has greatly advanced wages. and now it is to give it's service to the government without Compensation and the reasonable money value of these services should be reckoued when taking account Of the total contribution of the corporation to government service in these days of war.

} NEW METHODIST BISHOPS ARE NAMED
 BY CONFERENCE Action of Church Body Granting Laity Rights to Women and Changing
 Ritual Vetoed

Atlanta, May 14.--The election of three new bishops in the Methodist Episcopal church, south. concluded lively session today at the general conference during which the college of bishops announced its veto of the ac- tions of the conference in granting laify rights to women, and changing the ritual from "hoIy Catholic charch~ to "Christ's holy church." BaIletin@ for the bishops continued through the afternoon session..
 The Rev John M Moore of Nash vile. Tenn. and W. F. McMurry of Louisville, Ky, were elected on the first ballots by 1s7 and 167 votes re- spectively. out of a possible 327 votes. On the third ballot. the Rev. U. V, W. Darlington of Barbourville. W. Va. was elected by 1ss votes, 1892 being necessary for a choice.
 BIG VOTE FOR PARKER
 On the second ballot, the Rev. F. M. Parker of the Louisiana conference received 1so votes. the next highest to Bishop-elect Darlington. Dr. Parker, after the result of the first ballot was announced, requested the conference not to vote for him, but on the second ballot he received more votes than on the first. The Rev. James Cannon of Richmond. Va. and H. M. Dubose cf Nashville, Tenn, received more than 100 votes.
