Must be Loyal to
the United States
NATURALIZED CITIZENS MUST
SUPPORT GOVERNMENT
Attorney General Ready to Start De-
naturalization Proceedings When
Facts Warrant Such Action

Attorney General Gregory has in
structed all United States attorneys
to bring to his attention Immediately
all cases of naturalized citizens,
whether or not of German origin,
who have evidenced such disloyalty
to the United States as would Justify
the commencement of denaturaliza-
ton proceedings against them. In
each case so reported the district at
torneys are instructed to furnish a
summary of the facts which can be
established on the trial.
Recently the United States attorney
for the district of New Jersey brought
a proceeding for decentralization
against Frederick w. Wusterbarth, a
naturalized German native. The pro-
ceeding was based upon the ground
that the defendants final papers had
been secured by fraud, consisting of
a secret reservation of allegiance to
Germany at the time Wusterbarth
formally made oath of unqualified al
legiance to the United States. The
evidence from which such a reserva-
tion might be inferred consisted of
dislOyal statements made since the
declaration of war. Judge Haight of
the district court ordered the cancel
lation of Wusterbarth'S naturalization
papers.
Two similar cases recently arose in
the western district of Washington.
In the first, which apparently involves
the same legal proposition as the New
Jersey case, United States District
Judge Cushman denied a motion to
dismiss the proceedings. In the sec
ond Washington case a German who
served with the German army from
1902 to 1904 and was naturalized in
1911 has had his certificate of nat
uralization cancelled.
The decisions of the district courts
are considered of immediate impor-
tance by the attorney general because
of the far-reaching effect which such
decisions should have in discourage
ing disloyalty on the part of all nat
uralized citizens, 1t is the intention
of the attorney general to institute
similar proceedings without delay in
all cases where the facts appear to
warrant such action.

DOLLAR is CUT IN TWO

One of the best defenses for in
creased wage rates is this editorial,
printed in the financial section of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger:
at is a fact that a dollar, at first
blush, looks like a dollar We are
prone to think Of dollars as being
what they were when war began in
1914. But they are not. They are
only half dollars on that basis, and
so it follows that when the govern
ment places a three billion dollar
loan it is getting really but a billion
and a half on the basis Of pre-war
prices. The sole test of the dollar is
what it will buy, and it rises and falls
on that standard.
"This condition may be what is
termed imitation, but it certainly is
the fact. In passing there seems to
be some haZiness as to what imitation
really is. One writer some months
ago went to pains to point out that
the great stocks of gold in this coun-
try were a blessing, in that there
could be no initiation, unless it were
a gold imitation. That was the sub
stance Of the argument, the inference
being that if initiation were produced
by gold it would be a good thing
rather than otherwise.
"According to figures compiled by
the National city bank prices of mer-
chandise imported from all over the
world are from so to 100 per cent
more than they were in 1914"

DEFINE L. S. MAN POWER

According to an estimate by Food
Commissioner Hoover America has
36000,000 ablebodied manhood and
from eight to ten million men have
been diverted from their normal oc-
cupations toward war and the pro-
ducts it requires.
This includes 100000 men in the
military service and the grand total
approXimates from one-quarter to
one-third of the country's normal
productive units.
The fuel administrator shows that
some of the gaps may be filled by
more intensive labor and longer
hours, by the application of woman's
labor and by putting the boys into
labor earlier than otherwise. He
shows, however, that these are but
palliatives and insists that the de-
fciency can only be overcome by elm
mating non-essentials.
"This applies" he says, "to
every commodity Of which we con-
sumo more than is necessary for our
health and comfort. We must strip
to the bone in order that we may
afford the economic luxury of the
diversion of this portion of our pro-
ductive power to the destruction of
war. If we do not our exertion in
this war will stop short of the task
imposed upon US, and we cannot look
to victory with any assurance"

HOOVER OPPOSED TO "BONE
DRY" AMENDMENT

Washington-Th Randall amend
ment designed to make the nation
"bone dry" during the war, is dead
This statement was made by Senator
Sheppard, of Texas, the dry leader of
the senate, after conference with the
president and Herbert C. Hoover,
food administrator.
President Wilson told Senator
Sheppard that he was opposed to the
Randall amendment unless it was
deemed necessary to the conservation
of food by Mr.. Hoover who, according
to Senator Sheppard held that not
only was the measure unnecessary,
but unwise at the present time.

PLUCKY GIRLS WIN

Girls employed by the Woolworth
and Kresge and 10-cent stores in
Bloomington, ILL.,, have proven that
collective action can improve condi-
tions, even in these low wage esta-
blishments. The managers of the
store appeared before a meeting of
the girls and assured them that their
union was not Objectionable to them.
This remarkable concession aided in
establishing cordial relations.

FRENCH SPURN PEACE
OFFER FROM GERMANY
Point to Confessions of Hun Weak
ness and Contradiction Of Some
Of Presidents Principles.

Comments of the French press upon
the Teutonic peace proposals Is sum-
married. in an official dispatch from
France as follows:
''The step taken by Germany, Aus
tria- Hungary and Turkey is collec-
tive confession of the extremely Sc
rious situation they are now in, ow-
ing to the allied victories. A month
ago Berlin would not have consented
to carry so far her peace maneuvers.
But this step maintains the confused
character that all German proposals
have borne. This one evidently shows
the inward thought that it might
succeed in weakening the allies will
of setting her enemies against each
other. She will see that she is mis-
taken.
''The proposals do not mention ac-
ceptance of the Sth of January mes
sage fourteen points. but only says
the central powers would consent to
take them as a basis This is openly
conSessing that the central govern
ments would intend to discuss these
points and refuse them in some par
ticular or other after pretending to
accept them as a starting point.
The papers note that the declaration
made Yesterday at the reichstag by
Prince Macmillan of Baden are in
some essential points in contradiction
of the fourteen clear and fixed clauses
of the Sth January message of Presi-
dent Wilson.

DOUBTS CENTRAL POWERS
REALLY PROPOSE PEACE
M, Viviani of France Thinks Sug-
gested Basis for Armistice Not
in Accord With Situation.

| PARIS, October Irene. viviani,
president of the council when the war
broke out and head of the French
mission to the United States, inter-
viewed by Information regarding the
peace proposals of the central powers,
said today:
Germany has presented propositions
to President Wilson, but are they
really propositions for peace? The
discourse of Chancellor Macmillan
appears to be merely the program of
the majority. It is not a question of
discussing the fourteen propositions
made by President Wilson, for dis
cussion of them as a basis for an
armfsrice would not be in accord with
the military advantages which we
possess through the splendid services
of our troops.
whether the enemy accords auton-
omy to Alsace-L.orraine is no longer
la question. for we demand the return
of the provinces to France, pure and
simple, and without any trap for a
referendum"
