And wrapped me in it there.

The robe was red as flame:
They yelled me in it where / stood
And took away my shame.
Was ever web so costly wove
Or warp so glorious spun?

That wide and scarlet one.
Though younger sons, some happier

Anew, or bid me don array

Will call, with tears, each dear, dear

Whose red robe wrapped my feet.

the clerk administered the oath

advisable to do no more than
put on new roof; but after con-
siderable discussion, and confer

board of supervisors, James A.
Harrison, it was decided that it
would be better to complete the

The Y. M. c. A. building at the

In front Of the rostrum was
arranged the desk of the clerk
of the court, that official, Mr.

place, beside him his deputy
Iona Mix. The department OF
justice was represented by Mr.,
A. E. Eldredge, assistant to Nat

by Sheriff R. R. Earhart, and

WASHINGTON, June 22.-

WASHINGTON, June o.
America is ready to launch a
big-gun program for three more
years of war. The great guns
which will be manufactured >un-
der this program will be built
for the primary purpose of
slashing the Germanic defenses
on the east bank of the Rhine.
The plans call for three field
armies, meaning 1,375,000 men
each, or more than 100000
troops in all.
This reveals the meaning of
the $5,OOO,OOO,OOO fortification
bill reported to the house yester
day. 1t reveals General Per-
shing's purpose, and that of the
allied chiefs of staff, to carry
the warfare clear to the German
border, and assault the citadels
along the Rhine with ten,
twelve and fourteen-inch guns
and sixteen-inch mortars.
The plan was formulated by
General Pershing, and was ap-
proved by the great allied war
council at Paris and by the gen
eral staff of the war department
here.

Dispatches arriving now give
new light on the original Aus
trian assault. Forty Austrian
divisions were used up by them
in the initial onslaught.
General Ludendorf, enraged
at the Austrians' failure, is said
to have wired Vienna that Ger
many can do no more.
In the meantime, throngs
roam the streets of Vienna and
other large cities clamoring for
food. Threats are being made
against Germany by working
men, who, in increasing num-
bers, have laid down their tools,
demanding an equalization of
wages and hours, but above all
insisting on sufficient rations.
Cavalry and troops have re-
placed the police in the towns,
and the socialists, apparently
the leaders of the agitators, are
pleading with the Hungarian
foreign minister, Count Burian,
to enter into peace negotiations
with the allies.

Then the court and each peti.
toner signed his petition, the
signature of the court granting
its prayer, and that of the petit
toner being affixed to the oath
of allegiance attached. That
done, each new citizen was hand
ed his certificate of naturaliza-
ton, which ended the proceed
ings that had occupied the at
tention of the court from 1 to 5
o'clock.

The petitions had all been pre-
pared and executed, and they
laid on the clerks desk. For wit
nesses the commissioned Off
GERS commanding the companies
in which the petitioners are
serving presented themselves,
and were sworn with each group.
Everything in readiness, Mr..
Eldredge took up the first group
of petitions, the Russians, and
calling all of that nationality
and their officers to their feet,
they were sworn collectively, by
Clerk Mix, to answer the queS-
tions propounded them in the
proceedings. Then they were
seated, and Mr.. Eld,redge called
the number of the first petition,
the man indicated standing,
when the examiner asked his
name, his age, his nationality,
his service in the United States
army, and his willingness to
take the oath of allegiance to the
United States, and to protect
and defend the same. Receiving
an affirmative reply, the exam
iner then turned to the sponsors
and questioned them as to the
loyalty and fidelity of the candi-
date and his eligibility as a good
citizen, which being answered III
the affirmative, the next petit
ton was taken in hand and the
same course was followed. Oc-
casionally the examiner stated
to the court that the petitioner
asked to change his, name in TAX
ing on the panoply of citizen
ship, which petition was ordered
granted.
With only one man was there
any change from the procedure
described. When one of the Nor
wegians was called (Severin ST.
vertsen Mellin), the examiner
asked him if he had not asked
a discharge that he might return
to Norway, and if he had not re-
fused to take the oath to his pc
tition. The man replied in the
affirmative. He testified also
that he had been a resident of
the United States ten years, and
that he had declared his inten-
ton to become a citizen in Colo
RADIO in 1918.

tions had been acted upon the
