New York, Aug. 7.-Legislation
to restore to citizenship automatic
ally Americans who served in the
military and naval forces of the
Allied nations prior to the declara-
ton of war by the United States
will be fostered by The American
Legion. If the immigration COM
mittees of the Senate and the
House, respectively, do not con-
template such legislation, the legis-
lative committee of the Legion OF
which former Congressman Thomas
w. Miller and former Senator Luke
Lea are joint chairmen will prepare
a bill and have it introduced IL
Congress.
According to the Act of March 2,
1907, no American citizen could eX-
patriate himself while the country
was at war SO that Americans who
entered the service of foreign gov
ernments after April 5, 1917, re-
mained citizens. But those who
took the oath of allegiance to any

American Oil Men
Tried to Bring War
With Mexico Charge

New York, AuV. 7.-American oil
interests are chal\ed with manufac-
turing propaganda No force the United
States into war with Mexico in a re-
port on the Mexican situation made
public yesterday by the Board of
Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian
Church. The report was prepared by
Samuel G. Inman, executive secretary
of the American section of the Com
mittee on Cooperation in Latin
America, representing the American
and Canadian mission boards.
Mr.. Inman charges that the Ameri-
can people are being deceived by in
spired propaganda and that Inter
vention in Mexico is coming just as
fast as certain interests can possibly
force it The oil men whom Mr.. In
man accuses are declared to have
large offices in Washington and New
York and unlimited supplies of money
They are playing" the report
says, mot simply for oil wells in
Tampico and Vera Cruz, but for a
much larger stake. They have found
out that Mexico is full of oil. What
they want is the United States to
get hold of Mexico so that they can
easily obtain these billions of dollars
of oil properties which are certain to
be developed in the future"

STRIKES DELAY
STEEL OUTPUT
Actual Stoppage of Pig Iron
and Steel Making
Possible

New York, Aug. Actual stop
page of pig iron and steel making
by railroad strikes in the Cleveland
and Chicago districts in the past
week have given more weight to
DThe possibility of curtailment by
strikes in the steel industry itself,
says the Iron Age to-day. Blast fur
naces and steel works operations
of the American Steel & Wire Com
pany at Cleveland have been large
~ suspended. AT the South Chicago
works of the Illinois Steel Com
pany out of II blast furnaces are
banked, and at Gary IA out of A
open-hearth furnaces are idle.
The unioniZing of blast furnace
and steel plant workers in the
Pittsburgh and Ohio districts has
shown no marked progress in the
week, but the outlook is more threat
cning because of the railroad shop
mems strike, and new uncertainty
has entered into the prospect for
the remainder of the year.
The increase in pig iron in July
was pronounced, as was expected,
the total for the month being o.
42S,541 tons, or 7S,34O tons a day,
as against 2,114,73S tons in June, or
70,495 tons a day. The blowing in
OF furnaces kept up through tne
month so that 239 We're in blast on

Pig iron production at the begin

S5,635 tons a day, as compared with
71,700 tons a day at the beginning
Of July, the present operation being
at a yearly rate of about 81, 1000
tons, whereas the 1918 output was

PUBLIC BUILDING
CAMPAIGN STOPS
War Department Finds Mark
ed Decrease in Unem-
ployment

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE War De-
partment has to-day decided to stop
the campaign for public building
throughout the United States" it is
to-day announced by Colonel Arthur
Woods, Assistant to the Secretary of
War.
This decision wits taken because the
decrease of unemployment in many
localities has been so marked that
some difficulty is reportedin in obtaining
soldier labor for the normal industrial
operations. 1t is therefore considered
that the further stimulation of pub
lie building at this time would be
inadvisable.
The energies devoted in the past
to the stimulation of public build
ing, it was further decided, will now
be turned particularly into assisting
professional and technical men in
finding jobs. The work of placing
this class of eX-solders presents un7
usual difficulties because the demand
for the high grade of ability possess
ed by these men is not at present in
such great demand as ordinary labor.
An active campaign, however, is being
conducted to secure information from
trade associations, technical societies
professional societies and large en-
ployers with a view to finding all
possible opportunities for discharged
army men who qualify in this way.

1t was the unanimous opinion OF
the soldier, sailor and marine dele
gates at the st. Louis caucus OF The
American Legion, confirmed by re-
cent reports from state branches,
that the Government is visiting al
injustice on the Americans who
served with the Allies by requiring
them to take again their oath of

that, regardless of their present

CoAXING YOU TO SMILE
Where Jackasses Belong

A funny one occurred at Fifth and
Spring the other evening. A little
old lady was waiting patiently for a
Sixth street car, but it CHANGED to be
lust at that hour when many were
going out of service.
When the first one came along, she
stepped into the street but the car
growled past her without even slow
ing down. The next one did, how
ever, but the conductor, leaning over
the rail, bawled out, "going to the
barn"
Twice this happened and the little
old lady, who at first had accepted
the "going to the barn" with resig-
nation, had reached the boiling point
when for fourth time car stopped
and the conductor yanking the bell
chortled, "going to the barn"
"Well, go to the barn, yuh darn
jackass, it's just where yuh belong
yelled the indignant one brandishing
her umbrella.-Los Angelo Times.
