CITIZENSHIP IS CONFERRED 0N
 20 IN COURT
FOURTEEN MEN FROM FIT. WHIPPLE ARE NATURAL HE'D AND SIX CIVILIANS ALSO BECOME REAL AMERICANS.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Uncle Sam has 20 new nephews following the naturalization session held in the Superior court before Judge Crosby and Naturalization Ex- aminer A. F. Eldrcdge yesterday, IA of the new Americans being enlisted men stationed at Fort Whipple and the remainder civilians from different sections of the county. Thirteen civi- lians had applied for naturalization. but for various reasons seven of them were turned down, among them being John Frombach, the Prescott resi- dent, whose troubles with the nat uralization and military authorities arc rccited in detail in another col umn of today's issue.
 The six civilians who were grant ed their final papers were the follow ing-named: Peter Valazza, Philip Pol etti, Emil Paul Victor levequc, Robert Fernley, Dominki Sandar and John Harrington.
 Those who were refused citizenship, and the reasons therefor, were the fol- lowing:
 Anton. Toneck, continued. without date to allow examiner to look into his case more fully. Is an enemy alien.
 Michael Coppinger, did not appear to push case. Has moved to San Francisco.
 Rosindo Albarez, case continued to allow petitioner time to gain a better knowledge of the governmen, of the United States.
 John Frombach, dismissed because petitioner had misrepresented his age
 Carlo Cantcles, petitioner not in court, continued.
 John Revillo, dismissed, petition more than / years old.
 Angelano Lorenzini, dismissed, petitioner an enemy alien.
 The IA men from Fort Whipple who were made citizens yesterday were the following named: Petro Dis pcnsa, Jacob Meyer Glickman, Gott- field Olson. Anton Poulor, Joseph Theodore Anderson, Grunwald Otto- son, Marziano Grizzi, Charles Pollok, Tohn M Fletcher. Joseph Reilly. John Oscar Nordan, Christian A. Gabriel son, James R. Russell and William Sidney Rawlings.
 Owing to a special provision in the naturalization regulations. men in the service of the United States army arc not required to wait several years for the completion of their citizenship as civilians are. and the class of mlli- tary men who became citizens yester- day had the whole process of natural ization completed in a few days. The men, while they now have the status of .Amcsican citizens, will not receive their certificates of citizenship until they receive honorable discharges rom the army. However, any of the mems parents or wives may procure the certificates showing that the men are full-flcdged Americans if they de sire them. it being the theory that the men in the army will not have any place in which to keep the certificates should they be issued to them at the iimc of the completion of the nat process.
 The next naturalization session to be held in the county will be called some time during February. 1919.

AN EDITOR IS A WoRKINGMAN TOO.

AN EDITOR IS A WORKINGMAN TOO.
THE ARDMOREITE has received the follow
ing interesting letter;
Ardmorc Dec. 8.
Editor Daily Ardmoreite;
Your editorial in your Sunday paper Lit
tie Willie's Remuneration smells than the
dirty streets OF Ardmore that you are inviting him
to clean. Are you trying to bring dirty brute
like William TO the level OF an honest working
man? The street cleaning department is just
honorable as printing newspaper and think 1t
is more beneficial and serviceable Why not invite
him to sling mud in your office! | think the brute
would make good at that,
Now, please don't mention manual labor and
William any more than you help, as we be-
leve that manual labor stands high and will
stand as good inspection any profession you
might follow. This is from some workingmen OF
Ardmore. Print this ii you want to.
Yours truly
CHARLES JOHNSON.
p. S-Ths is not the first time that we have
noticed your disrespect for workngman, but
when you bring him down to the level with Wl-
. liam its time TO take notice.
The Ardmoreite is panied because Mr.. Johnson
takes oiense at the playful editorial wherein we in
vited the ex-crown prince who had said he would be
willing to do manual labor to come to Ardmore and
pick up the paper littering certain streets. AS We
pointed out scraps OF paper are strictly IN the
Hohenzoern family line. OF course we had no ser
ous intention OF putting Little Willie in competl-
ton with honest American workingmen, nor OF insn-
uating that he is in their class in any sense whatever
And, as Tor this paper showing disrespec for work
ingmen, we are willing to wager the price OF Rcd
Cross membership that the man who wrote the 'lhtIe
Willie" editorial has done many kinds OF manual
labor as Mr. Charles Johnson ever has done no mat
ter what his lines OF work may be or may have been
heretofore. The man who wrote that editorial has
done everything that is to be done a farm he has
driven a team OF Missouri mules attached to road
scraper; he has shoveed gravel from wet creek bed
and dumped it upon the highways and smoothed If
off; he has dug bitches. done carpenterng, washed
Dishes set ype-and various other things which may
be termed manual labor, and he has been member
of trades union in good standing.
The Ardmoreite has high respect for workingmcn
OF all kinds who do their work we'll Mr.. johnson
should take a day or of and learn how to apprc-
catc joke.

Food apparently IS obtalnable cas-
lily in restaurants, although eXpcn-
siyc. The suffering seems to fall
heavily on the poor people. Food
now is more plentiful than it was a
month ago, because the signing OF
the armisticc brought out stocks
which have been held in reserve.
The people perhaps are palcr than
their wont, but the street crowds
appear to be warmly dressed and
give no sign OF suffering.
The most interesting feature OF
Munich, as in every other German
city today, is the new status OF the
common soldier. He frequently
may be seen riding in automobiles
while officers walk. He never sa-
lutes his former superiors. The sue
cess OF the new regime is forecast
as being great or small, according
to those with whom one talks.
The city has resumed dancing,
which has occassioned a terrific edi-
torial outburst from a portion OF
the press. Former Imperial Chan
cellor Won Hertling, the Bayarian
courier, says:
Our enemies will be robbed OF
the last yestige OF pity il they hear
this. Are they not right
The Courier assails the people
OF Munich with exampled bitter
ness, directing TRADE against
those who are spending money" be-
cause they have it in their pockets,
regardless OF the time when their
debts must be paid 1t says that
civilians are sacrificing the rations
intended Tor the army during the
coming winter. 1t adds that" bad
German retreat, lost nost OF the
provisions being held by the army
and that stores now are scanty. In
spite OF this, it says, the food al
lowance has been increased rather
than decreased.

Seattle and had to get down to San
Francisco to connect with a proieS-
sional job. He had just enough
money to pay his passage on a ship.
N G.
1t was the first time he ever had
been aboard ship, and he was un-
familiar with the customs. For three
days he lay in his berth. No, he
wasn't seasick-he was hungry, and
he didn't propose to waste his phys
ical energy and make himself still
hungrier; he would rest up, and
maybe he could manage to survive
until he struck Frisco and a friend
to stake him to a square meal.
N G.
Toward the end OF the third day
the kindly steward came to his
stateroom. Still seasick?' he asked.
"Not on your life" pecvishly and
feebly replied my actor-friend.
"Well, then" said the steward, "why
don't YOU come to dinner? You
haven't eaten a meal since YOU came
aboard and | was getting worried
about YOU
Ny friend was so hungry that he
determined to go into the dining
saloon and eat everything in sight
and take the consequences-prob
ably get thrown overheard or put
in irons because he couldn't pay Tor
the meal.
N G.
He went and ate. It was a dandy
fine dinner, too. When everything
was devoured-to the ultimate
crumb-and the final bone was
picked my friend sneaked back to
his stateroom, fearful lest he should
be nabbed and payment demanded.
An hour later the ship steamed
into the Golden Gate and the guilty
wretch sneaked ashore. lie told the
first friend he met all about his sad
experience.
N G.
"Why. you chump," said his
friend, didn't you know that when
YOU paid your passage on that ship
you paid at the same time for all
your meals on the voyage-and that
boat sure does set the table right-o,
boy"

And | felt somewhat like my actor

in Ardmore because | naturally sup

may say against Ardmore's water,
I'm for it,
