Claim Today
Ru Assncsnfen r-ress

MEXICO CITY. April 2-"In lower
California there are various foreign
enterprises. among which are one or
two japanese. to which have been
given concessions for the exploitation
of certain natural resources in vari-
GUS places, but none of them have
been permitted nor will be permitted
to acquire tracts of land, because the
constitution prohibits this definitely,
General Amado Aguirre, under sec
retary of agriculture and Development,
said today. -.
He declared the government had
not and would not allow foreign, in
terests to obtain land in lower Cali
fornia.
Regarding concessions held by for
eigners he stated that among those
holding fishing rights were both jap
anese and Norwegians, but he made
il clear that no foreign interests held
rights to land along the coast.
Baron Fugitaro Otori, Japanese
minister to Mexico, stated yesterday
that the only agricultural interest
held by his countrymen were small
rice lands near Mexicali which, he
said, were absolutely without import
ance.

ON CITIZENSHIP
Much Being Done---k Chance
for Everybody to Aid in
Great Work

The EVENING NEWS has received
several requests this week from resi-
dents of this city and vicinity asking
for Information on the matter Of Sc
curing their citizenship papers. These
letters have been forwarded to the
Bureau of Naturalization offices at
Philadelphia and the desired informa-
ton will be secured from the federal
officers there.
The great activity being shown
among foreigners who have not yet Sc
cured their citizenship papers but who
are now taking necessary steps to SO
make II appear as If what might be
termed an characterization boom"
had been started in this city. The
court at New Brunswick has been
visited by Perth Amboyans during the
past week or so in large numbers
and the enthusiasm shown by .he
Russians of the city at the big Ameri-
) >caniZation mass meeting held last
Sunday in Pulaski Hall speaks for it.
self.
This work, the full realization Of
the size, and Importance Of which Is
gradually coming to the citizens of
this country, offers splendid oppor-
tunity for real Americans to lend a
helping hand to their foreign brothers.
BY pointing out American ideals to
the foreigner ana injecting him half
way in business and sociar projects,
the non-citizen soon begins to realize
that living IN this country as an alien
does not hold for him all the pos
sibilities which would be his IL he was
the possessor of his final papers and
better American.
Many of those who desire papers
have not the slightest idea of how to
proceed and many others who know
the routine through which they must
pass do not care to be bothered with
the court proceedings connected with
the securing of their papers. If. how
ever, each citizen would take 1t upon
himself to carry on an Americaniza-
ton and naturalization propaganda
campaign Of his own among these
foreigners. they would see the matter
in the right light. realize the advan-
tages of becoming an American citi-
zen and become enthusiastic to join
the hundreds who have come to this
country from foreign shores but now
proudly display their citizenship
papers and assert themselves to be
true Americans.

SPRING ORDER
To DRESS Up
Great Crowds Expected Here
Saturday When Spring Open
ing Will Be Observed


This is the command which Is being
echoed and re-echoed throughout the
length and breadth of the land today.
II Is the command of an awakened
clothes consciousness, which will not
be denied. and it is being borne upon
the minds of the people everywhere.
Wherever one looks. the. green and
yellow sign OF the Board of Trade
meets their glance. .proclaiming to all
that Dress Up" week begins in this
city on Saturday.
It is the belief of the merchants
throughout the country that the SOL
diers and sailors who have been fight
ing for the freedom of the world and
are coming home, will need civilian
garments. to replace the uniforms
which they lay aside in resuming their
civilian pursuits. Then again rela-
tives and friends of the boys will
want to dress up to greet the return
ing heroes, and ftsaeihrsrnbg
ing heroes, and for this reason Dress
UP week was decided upon.
During the war people in order to
save money for Liberty Bonds and
other necessary money raising cam
paigns, practiced thrift to a great de-
gree, many making their old suit and
coat due for another season, but now
that this need is to a great extent over,
people will find the desire to look up
to the minute in their dress return
ing and urged to take advantage OF
the new spring styles and reduced
prices offered during the Dress UP
week.
The weather man has promised fine
weather for the week and the mer-
chants are placing their stores in
readiness for the event, which Is ex-
pected to flood the city with shoppers
from the surrounding country.
