was in Oskaloosa, sometimes dubbed the
Quaker City, because the first white
settlers were Quakers from Pennsyl-
vania and now the VIM. Penn College,
a Quaker institution, is located here.
Oskaloosa is unique in many respects
as it was here that was located the gen.
eral headquarters for the underground
railroad for fleeing slaves. 1t was here
that the first large number Of colored
people came in at the old mining camp
of Muchakinock. At one time there
were 5000 colored people in Mahaska
County. Now only about 800, Of which
Oskaloosa has about 600. One of the
unique characters is A. g. Clark, the
Clark, who died at his post as Minister
to Haiti. Mr.. Clark, I think, has the
unique distinction of being the first
colored boy to graduate from the Law

COUNTERFEIT AMERICANS.

Throughout the length and breadth
women are devoting their physical
strength and their talents to spread
the propaganda of Americanism. The
newcomer is told OF the ,glories Of
citizenship and beautiful picture of
what that means is unroIied before
his eyes.
Meanwhile in the national capital,
certain members OF Congress are do
ing more to counteract this Ameri
canization movement than could any
direct, undisguised anti-American
movement They are killing the spir-
it of America.
When President Wilson concluded
his annual address yesterday, a GER
tain political faction sat in sullen ST
lenCe while their colleagues applaud
ed. The attitude was deliberate, pre-
conceived and malicious. They know
ingly and Intentionally showed disre-
s0ect to the President of the United
States, so far the mental superior Of
any other man present that there is
no room for comparison. The world
was waiting to hear what the great
champion of human rights was to say,
but when he had finished, this par
tisan, narrow minded un-American
political clique, within reach of the
speaker, refused to accord to him the
honor they would give to any other
man speaking on such a subject from
a public forum.

hesitate to become part of our repub-

Girls in Washington.
(NGW York Tribune.)

lA>CW l ok IrlDune.)
Thousands of girl war workers
were thrown into a panic today by
missionaries sent out by the gov
eminent departments regarding their
period of work
Now that it is time to go home the
sentiment among many of the girls
is that in spite of bad housing condi-
tions. they would like to remain in
Washington. Perhaps the fact that
the new residence halls built for the
accomm Odation Of war workers will
soon be finished has given the girls
an idea that they would like the city,
if they had comfortable places In
which to live.
The questionnaires sent out today
contained three questions. the first
two being practically the same, ask
ing if the worker wished to resign at
once, and the third asking if she
wanted to stay on as long as there
was any sort of work for her to do
These were sent first to girls in the
ordnance departm ent, where there
are more than 5000 en- ployad.
There are more than $4,000 woman
war workers in Washington. Before
the war they were engaged in various
kinds of work Some were school
teachers. some business and office
girls, and others entered the bust
ness world earlier than they would
have otherwise, because of the de-
mand for gir1g - the departments.
1t is understood the issuance OF
the questionnaires today is the be-
ginaing OF the end; that there really
is not much more work for the girls
to do. The heads of departments Wani
to give each worker chance to re-
sign, and consequently are breaking
the news of lack of work to them in
time to provide for that.
Most of the girls who wanted to
quit left the day after the signing OF
the armistice was announced. A few
others STAYED on with the idea of 60
ing home for the Christmas holidays,
and not returning.
Practically all of the others like
their work and want to set perma-
nent jobs il Washington.
The matter of giving each girl two
weeks pay and return fare to hei
home has not been decided officially.
Petitions asking for. this concession
have been sent from several DEPART
melts. 1t is und erstood that the mat
ter is under consideration by the
President.
Bernard Baruch. chairman of the
war industries board. sent circulars
to employees under his supervision
that if they would resign at once they
would receive two weeks pay, the
amount of their fare home aid letters
of recon men dalton.
The number of school teachers who
have been employed may help relieve
the teacher shortage.
Those who are in Washington
have access to the bureau of educa-
ton and the newly established ser
vice for putting school boards and
tea chers in touch with each other all
over the country.

Freedom of the Seas.
New Republic.)


In return for the express recogni-
ton of British maritime supremacy
by America and the rest of the
world, the British = commonwealth
should consent to drastic limitation
upon the subsequent exercise of the
decisive power. 1t should effectively
secure America and the other trades
of the sea against any possible use of
its maritime supremacy for a policy of
national economic and political ag-
gression. The power of life and
death over rival commercial nations
which Great Britain has obtained is an
essentially imperial prerogative. Ma
lions who prize their own liberty cam
not afford to vest ii in any one of their
number. unless the privileged people
agrees to hold it in trust and eXer-
else it in subordnation to super
national authority. It was this fu-
ture condition of interna tional CO.
operation which President Wilson
sought to secure by the stipulation in
his Il points about the freedom of
the seas. The British government was
justified in asking for the suspension
sion of this stipulation until the peace
conference assemblies and a league of
nations comes into existence. but the
suspension is only temporary.
