the State Department learned while

called him.
Investigation showed he had mark

1t was also discovered that Allln-
son had written letters to Secretary
OF War Baker which showed him to
be conscientious objector." Draft
officials at Chicago asked Baker why
the man had not been arrested. and
steps were taken to apprehend him.
Allinson had been here for some
time after his return from his Swiss
journey. and was evidently endeavor-
ing to be classed as conscientious
objector. He had several ideas for
other than fighting work that he
sought to interest officials with, but
failed.
He had previously been engaged in
social settlement work in Chicago. -

Through Mr.. Caraway, OF Arkan-

with that OF Mr.. George Creelis Of.

ed unanimously against Mr.. Creel.
As the Postmaster General had for

clerk OF the House is hereby direct
ed respectively TO return the COM
munication containing the same to

companying report cited an array Of
precedents, back to 1912, showing
that no other course was open, when
an official had addressed TO either
branch Of Congress a communication
rejecting on Congress itself or one
OF its members. Mr.. Creel, it will
be remembered, had expressed the
opinion that when the House wanted
information, Congressman Treadway
might have telephoned him and thus
avoided an absolutely baseless state
ment. The detailed information about
the kind Of mail, official and unof-

"The people Of the United States"
are almost wholly unknown to some
who think that a university degree
and a pedigree back to a colonial
magnate in the eighteenth century
are credentials of the best Ameri-
canism. AS they are not yet made,
but still in the making, the people OF
the United States will show higher
credentials than these to posterity.
For example, last year a great army
of hundreds of thousands of young
men between twentysone and thirty,
born i'm other countries, we're doing
the heaviest, hardest, worst paid
work Of the United States. They
we're called to serve the United
States under the draft law, as if they
were American born. Then 123.2T7
of them. thus conscripted, waived all
claims of exemption under treaties
with the countries of their nativity,
and so, though forced to enroll,
virtually volunteered for the service
of the United States. These are
Americans in the making. No de-
scent from any Colonial magnats, no
unmixed American ancestry OF more
than a century can give higher
claim to Americanism than these
BOYS give as they wait to be called
TO the trenChes-from which they do
not ask if they will return.

The figures above are from the re-
port of the House Committee on
Immigration and Naturalization as
submitted yesterday in support of
the SABBATH bill. 1t shows greater
comprehension of the realities of the
American life of the present than is
to be found usually in official docu-
ments. 1t shows with this compre-
hension a sympathy for universal
humanity without which there is no
Americanism. 1t looks for, finds and
sums up facts in the lives of MANY
hundreds of thousands Of people,
speaking many different native
tongues" who were Americans in
the making at the time of our declar-
alton of war on Germany. 1t shows
The Washington times., 1918-04-21

An army of a hundred and twenty
thousand men might decide the fates
of empires now at a crisis, as armies
OF less numbers have done in the
past. The young men of this army
may speak much worse English than
the "Knownothings" who demand the
privilege Of controlling 'court-mar-
tials to enforce their standard OF
American patriotism, but when these
foreigners bleed in the trenches,
it will be an expression of Ameri-
canism more nearly adequate than
anything now being vocalized in
streams of eloquence by those whose
patriotism operates mainly through
the jaw.

appropriating over a billion, that
they left it chiefly to the experts.
Usually there were not over fifty
members present, while the experts
were debating. The experts them
selves, getting on the subject of high
explosive shells, proceeded to divulge
considerable quantities of confden-
tial information. This they were
then under the necessity of striking
from the record. The star-chamber
method of committee control was
well illustrated. No greater reform
is possible in legislation than may
come when the sessions of all COM
mittees are made as open as those
of the House itself.

The House passed the naval appro-
priation bill, carrying originally ST.
327 900 900. The most importal.
amendment, involving additional ap-
|propriatiOns. was OF $1O,29l 900 for
sixteen naval hospitals, fourteen of
which are along the Atlantic coast.
with one al Great Lakes, Ills" and
one at Pearl Harbor. Hawaii.
The most extraordinary feature OF
the bill Is the section giving the
President discretion to use 100000
600. unaccoUnted for. After a single
question It was passed without de-
bate. II was said TO be for use in
creating "the destroyer feet"
As amended, the bill gives the
President complete control of con-
tracts and contractors in ship con-
struction and in the aeroplane fleet.
He will be able to call them to ac-
count if delinquent or recalcitrant,
and he can commander and take
over anything necessary for expe-
diting the work.
Hhe clause authorizing the con-
struction of a railroad to Indianhead,
Md, was stricken out. So were a
considerable number of other
clauses not strictly appropriate in a
bill of this character, but as the bill
passed finally. it rather enlarged
than restricted the original scope Of
concessions to the Navy Department.
1t is not easy to see how the Navy
could have asked moro. except as it
gets more than was asked.
Mr.. Madden, Of Illinois, and Mr..
johnson, of Washington, called
Naval officials to an accounting for
two OF their constituents. Both
were boys, volunteers, who after be-
ing found unsuitable for the service,
were discharged far from home.
Both were recorded as left sick and
stranded among strangers, without
means. The law requires that in
such cases, fare shall be paid back
to the place of enlistment and a suit
of citizens clothing supplied. The
House was informed that the Navy
Department will find who is respon-
sible, if the law was not complied
with. Mr.. Madden insisted that
under all circumstances, volunteers
in the Navy shall be treated as
Americans.

Expressions Of sorrow for the
death Of Hon. William A. Jones Of
Virginia reached the House from our
possessions" both in Porto Rico
and the Philippines. Through Mr..
Quezon, the NatiOnalists OF the
Philippines, expressed their grateful
sense OF the help given by Mr.. Jones
in their long and persistent strug-
gle for the freedom of the Flip
pinos."
Mr. Welty Of Ohio wants a canal
system which will connect Cincinnati
with both lake Erie and lake Michi-
gan. He introduced a plan for it in
a bill yesterday, but had the extra
ordinary self-restraint to refrain
from proving that II is necessary for
purposes of national defense and TO
win the war. In this respect he is
almost, IL not quite, unique.
Mr.. McCulloch Of Ohio wants in
formation from the Secretary OF
State on the progress OF treaties
with friendly countries, whose sub
iects in the United States are exempt
from American conscription. He in
trOduced a resolution in that cOnnec-
ton yesterday.
House and Senate will confer
Monday on the bill amending the
espionage act. Proceedings between
Mr.. Lever OF South Carolina and Sen
ator Gore of Oklahoma on $3.50
wheat, postponed because Of Senator
Cores absence. are likely to develop
from conference as incentives to
eloquence in both houses. Twenty

erson bin, is not far enough in the
background to be out Of sight.

Columbia, and Rev. Rev. G. M. Till
man of Columbia is transferred to Cal

many parts could be classed as Grand

all exceptionally good and entertain

the hit of the evening. Special men
ton should be given Mrs. Rev. Holmes
who is indeed a lyric soprano soloist
for kindly rendering two selections on
the program. Too much comment and
praise cannot be given the brilliant
chorister, Mrs. Louise Stewart, and
Ebenezer's faithful choir for the work

ALLEN CHAPEL,

That the high estimation in which
DR.. VIM. H. Thomas has been held
throughout the five years of his pas
torate of Allen Chapel had not waned,
was demonstrated by the vast congre-
cation of representative men and
women, who attended Allen Chapel
Sunday morning to listen to his fare
we'll sermon. 1t is a masterpiece and
is to De found in this issue of The
Sun. 1t is needless to say we regret
his leaving and that of his admirable
family. We had become very much
attached to him and were very proud
of him. We honored him and feel that
his words and deeds have helped us
in Il daily needs. The thirty-one
soldiers who occupied the choir last
Sunday morning and furnished the
music for the service, were taken
home to dinner by various families.
They were a fine set of young men
a part of the contingent in training
at Wester University .......Dr. F. J..
Peck of Western University, DR.. Glenn
ent Richardson of Lincoln Institute
and DR.. C. v. Roman of Nashville,
Tenn, also worshipped with us, each
of whom made brief but interesting
remarks. There wer5 fourteen addi-
lions to the church. AT the evening
service our own dear F. J.. Peck, for
mer pastor of Allen Chapel, occupied
the pulpit and delivered a fine sermon.
THE musical social given by the
