As to our foreign born in the war. the
problem of the alien was frauGht win
many intricacics. II was in this ncid
that were encountered not only the sub
tie efforts of the Imperial German gov
eminent to insinuatc its intrigues into
our armed forces, hut also (and that was
the larger and infinitely the more com
plicatcd sidc) the diplomatic situations
arising out Of relations with our allies
and the neutral nations.
Truly were we the ,mclt;ng-pot OF IN"
world: and tho cosmoAo litan composition
Of our population was never more strik-
ingly disclosed than by the war. Then
the melting pot stood in the fierce flcs
of the national emergency; and its con-
tents, heated in the flames. either fused
into the compact mass OF floated or as
dross.
Tho great and inspiring revelations
here was that men Of foreign and of ma
tive origin alike responded TO the call TO
arms with a patriotic devotion that con-
founded the cynical plans Of our arch
enemy and surpassed our own cXpccta-
tons
No Man could perusc the muster roll
Of our camps. or the casualty lis\ from =
battle field in France. without realizing
that America has fulfilled one or ITS
highest missions In breeding spirit or
common loyalty among all those VINO
shared the blessings of life on it's free
soil. No need to speculate how it has
come about: the great fact is demons
trated that America makes Americans.
In tho diary OF German officer.
found on battle field. tho following
sentence, speaks volumes: only fcw
OF the troops are pure American origin;
the majority are Of German. Dutch and
Italian parentage. But these scmi-Am-
cricans-almost all of whom were born
In America and never have been In I'll
rope-fully feel themselves TO be true
born sons Of their country"
On the other hand, not the least valu-
able of the lessons Of the draft was its
disclosure that there are certain portions
Of our population which either will not
or can not unite in ideals with the rest.
We have welcomed to our shores many
who should be forever denied tho right
Of American citizenship. TIL" operation
Of the draft in respect to aliens was
great object lesson for the American
people While many declarant aliens
completed their citizenship after they
had been indicted into the service. and
fought royalty under tho Stars and
Stars and Stripes. yet many others re-
fused to do so and were discharged und-

Furthermore, thousands Of non-declar-
ant aliens claimed and received cxemp-
ton, sought and obtained their dis

This is the explanation Of the amazing

is eating into the soul of the aliens and

follows:
