The Value of American Citizenship

One of the surprising features Of the registra-
ton of aliens here was the exceedingly large
number of old residents and descendants of early
German pioneers whose names were enrolled.
A measure of sympathy must be extended to
some of the young men who went to police head
quarters, for they are not directly to blame for
the unfortunate plight in which they find them
selves.
On the other hand, many of them knew that
their fathers had not completed their naturaliza-
ton. They let the matter go by default all these
years.
In other cases. the young men actually be-
lieved their fathers had taken out second papers,
and only an investigation of the court records
proved the contrary. The community is not con-
demning these young men, 1t appreciates the
position in which they find themselves.
Some of these young men fought in the Span
ish-Amercan war. They are listed among our
substantial and trustworthy citizens.
The old German pioneers, however, should
have manifested their interest in this govern
ment by letting no stone unturned until they had
become bona fide citizens. This was their new
home, it should have become their fatherland at
the earliest moment.
The Americanization process is simple. 1t
requires no large outlay of money and time.
The value of full citizenship seemingly had
little appeal to these men. They were satisfied
to enjoy our material prosperity, without assum-
ing the full duties and obligations of citizenship.
Now by turn of history they are subjecting
themselves and their children to the necessity of
being enrolled aliens in land in which many
of them have lived forty and fifty years. for
which some of them fought in the Civil war, and
which is calling their children and grandchildren
into service
The value of full American citizenship is ap-
parent now when it is too late to obtain it.

The Importance of County Agent

1t savors as reflection on our community in
tellgence to addrce reasons for the necessity of
appointing county agent. His worth to the
agricultural interests of the county can be meas
ured in dollars and cents His worth to the bust
ness interests also can be computed in terms of
finance.
The only persons who do not want to admit
his worth to the community about half doz-
en- politicians. They know that this appoint
ment ought to be made, but they are holding off
for 'political' reasons. Now the voters of this
county put patriotism above politics, a fact which
this handful of politicians will soon learn to
it's sorrow.
IF there ever a year when the services of
a county agent are in demand it is this year
The seed corn problem has attained national
proportions. Adverse weather conditions inter-
ferred with the harvesting of crop that is suit
able for seed. Extreme caution must be exercised
by farmers to obtain good seed. knowledge of
seed testing is necessary. Expert advice must be
sought and correct methods applied.
A county agent possesses the training to give
expert advice on such vital questions Progress
sve farmers seek the service of county agent
They welcome his suggestions. Wayne county
farmers want an expert
But few obstructionists say no. The appeals
of our government asking for the greatest care
in planting and harvesting crops meet no en-
enlargement from them. Instead Of cooperating
with the government by appointing county
agent this little group of petty politicians is let
ting personal consideration Illustrate patriotic
service.
Public opinion in Wayne county does not hest
tate to act against unpatriotic men and move
ments. Politics will not thwart the patriotism
demanded in the appointment of county agent.

100000 Skilled Workers Needed

One Of the maxims of warfare is that an
army must keep its lines of communication open.
If reserve troops and supplies cannot be rushed
forward to strategic points, an army faces an
initiation.
The United States is forced to transport its
men across the Atlantic and send millions of tons
of supplies by the water route. Germany boasts
that her submarines will interrupt this line of
communication and demoralize it so badly that
it will be useless To make good this declara-
ton, the Kaiser's submarines are torpedoing
every vessel they can reach.
For almost four years ruthless submarine
warfare has been waged against merchant ves-

Conquest and Kultur

THE hatred bestowed upon us by the whole
world may be classified as the hatred of an in
ferior for superior one. TO the devil with
all talk of kultur! AS if any soldier would have
gone to the front for the sake of striving for kul
tur. What our armies, our sons, and brothers
are fighting for is a greater Germany, with
boundaries that will insure US against an attack
by highway robbers such as we have lately been
exposed to.''-Alldeutsche Batter
"The task of the statesman in charge will be
to remain at the time of the negotiations [for
peace] in close touch with the high command of
the army and to reckon on the military advan-
tages gained by the blood of our brave soldiers,
in order to make the best use of the possibility of
new military blows. If he does this successfully,
he can count on the approval of the army and of
the people The resolution flor no annexations
and no indemnties] does not fit in with these
conceptions and we unanimously reject it.

tive Party. July 20, 1910. concerning the resolu-
lions in the Rechstag, quoted in Journal de Cen
eve July 21, 1917.

the waves. Great Britain has speeded up the
ship-building program to such point that her
submarine loss is offset by the new vessels that
are launched.
When the United States entered the war, the
Allies requested her to pay special afternoon 10
the construction of ships, both to transport our
own troops and to give added tonnage Tor the
supplies which our associates in arms required
The building of ships was to be one OF our I'M
mediate tasks.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation through
the State Councils of Defense will try to enlist
100000 skilled workmen this week in its shlpyard
volunteer reserve.
The purpose of the reserve is to create a body
of skilled workers who can be called for service
in the shipyards when needed. The classes OF
workers especially sought are:
Acetylene and electrical welders, asbestos
workers, blacksmiths, anglesmiths, drop forge
men, flange turner's, furnace men, boilermakers,
riveters, reamers, carpenters, ship carpenters.
dock builders, clippers and calkers, electrical
workers, electricians, wire men, crane operators,
foundry workers, laborers, loftsmen, template
makers machinists and machine hands, painters,
plumbers pipe filters, sheet metal workers, cop
persmiths, ship filters, structural iron workers,
erectOrS, DOterS up, cemenIefS ana crane men.
"The organization said Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board "is to be composed of work.
men who are willing to give good days work for
a good days pay; workmen who are not asked to
sacrifice present positions to rush madly off to
the shipyards which may not be able to accom-
modate for the moment, but who stand ready,
when called upon to do particular job for par
ticular wage in particular place and who enroll
themselves so that when needed they may be
readily reached.
"The need of the Nation is great. The ship
ping board has the money, the housing of men is
being arranged for, the yards are being complet-
ed and the materials provided.
1T is planned to make careful selection Of
men whose places can be filled without hardship,
and who, when called upon to give up the job
they now hold, will have waiting for them defin-
tie positions at definite wages in definite yards.
Richmond manufacturers and workers have
responded periodically to the call. This work is
of the highest patriotic order. The completion
of ships and the conservation Of food are the two
great tasks before the American people now.
