Washington, May 6.---The double hazard which aliens risk in going into the war on the side of the allied pow iers is to be remedied by legislation Gmoothed today in the House A bill for the purpose, introduced by Rep ,resentative Slayden, of Texas, has the unanimous backing of the Immi- grafton committee, and Speaker Clark agreed to give recognition today for "a motion to suspend the rules and let ithe bill up for immediate passage.
 The aliens now face the peril of be- Sng killed in battle or of being shot tas traitors if captured. If they are fhonsorably discharged and take off their uniforms over there and some smonths afterward try to come back ltnto this country they are liable to be fbarred on the ground that they may become public charges. Chairman sBurnett, of the Immigration commit itee, believes that the immigration Jaw barriers should be let down in these cases in the interest of national appreciation of patriotism.
 When the war began there were :, aliens lawfully residing in the United iStates, many of them from Polish ter .ritory under the political control of iGermany, Austria and Russia, as well tas Czecho- -Slovaks, also subjects to lthe Austro Hungarian or German ,governments. Some of them had de- rclared their intention to become American citizens while others had not, although possibly meaning ultl- mately to become so.
 Many Poles, Czecho-Slovaks and lSla,vs went t,o Europe in 1914 and Coined the forces of Serbia, Britain or France, to fight the governments that they regarded as the oppressors o1 their people.
 Important armies have been form ed out of these brave and patriotic people who abandoned comfort ant security in the United States and other countries, to go back to Europe tt fight against their ancient enemies now become ours'' the committed report says. France has official!

 ON ARRIVING IN
 PARIS WELCOMED

Paris, May 1.-The American labor delegation which has been visiting England arrived at the metropolitan station in Paris late last evening and was welcomed by Minister of Labor CoIliard on behalf of the French gov ernment. M. Colliard told the Amer jeans they would find the entire French nation at work in the fields, laboratories and factories. They would also see the spectacle, which who fought under the United flags of the peoples who wanted to live m freedom. M. Colliard added:
 ''Everywhere you will meet but a single hope---hope of victory---and everywhere lbehind the noise of the guns and the machinery and midst the silent fields you will see the heart of France beating for the single ldeal of brotherhood and justice which you will recognize as being yours also. l wish to take the opportunity to salute the name of he who symbolizes so finely that ideal, President Wilson"
 we will beat the Germans first and speak to them afterward," de- cIared Chairman James Wilson and George L. Barry of the mission, on their arrival. We take the position that we will not meet them in confer ience under any consideration. We will not be swerved from our main job, beating Germany, by any talk o1 conferences with them until they have been driven behind their own fron- tiers. We know the German purpose , is to dominate civilization and we shall make every effort to thwart it. Messrs. Wilson and Barry declared they were delighted with their stay ir England. They said they had ex-

Beating the Bulldog

THAT the American war savings drive is al
u ready running ahead of the English cam
paign in volume of weekly treasury receipts, lis
shown by comparative figures recently made pub
lie by the National War Savings Committee.
The treasury war chest in the four weeks of
February has been enriched by 100000 from
sales Of war saving certificate stamps, while the
latest four-week returns from England reach only
$37 100000.
AS the total American war savings are now
in excess of 100000, and are running close to
100000 day, it is anticipated that the first
$lO0OOOOOO will be recorded in the third week in
March, in little than three months after
the first offering of the stamps by the treasury.
1t took England seven months to top the first hun
dred million.
Comparison of the first three months returns
in the two countries shows that daily average
has been i'll excess Of the weekly average in Eng
land at the beginning Of the movement The
figures as follows:
First month - England $5l72OOO; America
$lO236OOO.
Second month - England, $27l9OOO; America
$2+ S6OOOO
Third month - England $4,000; America
$+OOOOOOO
$7479OOOO
The National War Savings Committee, in com
menting on the rapid development of the savings
campaign, said:
The 100000 a day flowing into the treasury
from the small savings of the people indicate what
great reserve the government has to draw in a
tiOnal emergency.
For the business Of the nation has need each
day for the labor products of millions of citizens
gagged in agriculture, mining manufacturing and trans
portatiOn. Money alone will not command these
cessities of
But the people reduce their expenditures for per
sOnal comforts and luxuries, and put their surplus
earnings into government loans, they transfer their
buying power to the government Two millions n
day saved and loaned to the two millions
to be spent by the government to the instead
of by private citizens for personal satisfaction.
The $700O0O00 of spending power already put at the
service of the government by the buyers of

MAY COMMANDER
POND MULLET SUPPLY
Fish Being Hoarded, Says Eber

! The probability that the pond mullet
supply Of the Territory will be com.
Wandered by the food administration
unless the pond men bring the fish to
market at the present prices is immi
nent, according to a statement made
yesterday by Eben Low of the fish com.
mittee of the Vigilance Corps.
Mr.. Low made the assertion last
night that he had absolute proof that
the pond mullet men were boarding
the fish.
The revelation of cases where $50
percent profit is made in the handling
Of Inullet is one of the complaints on
which Mr.. Low will insist on a show
down with the mullet men in order that
they shall be forced TO abandon Their
attempt TO dictate to the government
the price Of the fish that they bring
In. Mr.. Low believes that the con
tention that they are waiting for q
promised grading of mullet prices ii
only cloak to cover the real purpose
Of the pond men in withholding Their
supply from the public.
Mr.. Low says that an investigation
Of the cost of producing the fish has
shown that the price of twenty cents
per pound set by the administration
Is just price to all concerned. In the
face of this statement, however, Mayor
Fern visited the market yesterday and
insisted that the price is too low and
that the fish men are entitled to TWEEN
ty Ave cents for this variety.

The ADVERTISERS SEM-wEEKIY
War and Charity

while each community is, sacrificing men, ,
! money and food for the actual work of war
abroad in the interest of world democracy
they have parallel duty to their country and
to the world to maintain those institutions
which are the concrete embodiment of world
democracy at home.
THIS sentiment is expressed in the prospectus
L being circulated in furtherance of the cam.
paign for funds of the new Interracial Y NJ C.
A., soon to be dedicated 1t is sentiment that
applies to this new institution and to the great
majority of the already established institutions
War demands are great and pressing and must be
responded to-, but not at the expense of those in
stitutions doing their useful work in the commu-
n;Y..,
There is true patriotism in responding to the
call for funds from the Interracial Y M. c. A.,
the object of which is to carry on and complete
the elimination of race prejudice in this Paradise
Of the Pacific, than which no work is more worthy
and no work of more vital importance, not only
to this directly affected community but to the en-
tire Pacific Circle
There is true patriotism in the support given to
Leah Home 1t is no less essential that we should
fight the spread OF tuberculosis among ourselves
than among the French and Belgians. We must
continue to safeguard own future by caring
for the destitute among US, by providing homes,
clothing, food and education for the children whom
fate has cast upon the community. The Associ-
ated Charities, the Salvation Army the Palama
Settlement, the various Christian missions, all
must be supported formerly. To abandon them
in order to turn over the cash saved to the war
funds would be unpatriotic unreasonable and I'M
profitable.
We must meet the demands for money for Red
Cross, Liberty Loans, tobacco funds, relief work
abroad and war charities, but these must be IN
ADDITION to the support of our own necessary
institutions Otherwise war giving will not
be in sacrifice for our country's need but only at
the expense of the helpless ones at OUR own door.
