Naturalization Bill You'd
Change Women's Status
Citizenship Is Neither acquired
Nor Lost by The Status Of
Husbands. 1t Proyides

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. - Drastic
changes in the naturalization law, es-
pecially as applying to women, are pro-
vded in bill reported favorably to-
day by the House immigration Conn
mittee. The measure will take the
place of two naturalization bills on
the House calendar and an effort will
be made, according to Representative
Johnson, Of Washington, chairman of
the committee. to have Congress ap-
prove it at this session.
Women under the bill no longer
would derive citizenship from the nat
uralization Of husbands. but would be
required to make individual appica-
tions for citizenship.
They also would not lose their Amer
lean citizenship by marrying aliens
except when an alien husband cannot
lawfully become an American citizen,
or when a woman leaves the United
States and resides two years in her
husbands country, or five years in
some other country.
Once expatriated, a woman desiring
to regain American citizenship would
be required to follow the same pro-
cedure as any other alien desiring
American citizenship. Women aliens
also under the bill no longer automati-
cally would become citizens on marry
ing Americans, but would be required
to make application for citizenship
after five years residence in this
country.
Children of naturalized parents un-
der the measure no longer would de-
rive citizenship automatically from the
parents, although they would be made
eligible to apply for citizenship be-
tween the ages of eighteen and twenty
one, and upon proof in open court Of
their qualification and "their attach
ment to the principles of the Constitu-

Hope for Irish
Peace Growing
More Definite
Lloyd George Is Reported
AS Ready to Treat With
De Valera; Will Give Him
Safe Conduct if Needed
London Opinion Varied
Government Organs Assert
Sim Fein Conspiracy No

LONDON, Jan. 5.-Irish peace pros
poets, which were regarded as remote,
following the fruitIess ending Of the
negotiations between Premier Lloyd
George and Father OFlanagan, are
steadily reviving. In most quarters
the return Of De Valera is regarded as
potending pacific negotiation rather
than as an incitment to renewed re-
sistance.
In apparently inspired articles, the
London press reiterate Lloyd Georges
willingness to treat with De Valera d.
rectly, even granting him safe con-
duct to London if necessary. The Sim
Fein president, of course, has made no
application to the British government
for protection and with the present
declared intention of Downing Street
that he is not to be molested, it seems
doubtful that he will be. The uncer
tainty surrounding the exact state of
Irish peace prospects is aptly illus
trated by to-night's London papers.
The Evening Standard, Conserva-
TIVE organ, begins a front page display
story as follows: Important develop
ments regarding the problem in Ire
land gre expected very shortly The
Evening Standard is assured in Down
ing Street that the Premier is ready to
treat with De Valera direct, but safe
conduct has not been granted him be-
cause it has no knowledge of his
wheresb bouts"
Sim Fein Held Smashed
-, In contrast with this announcement
The Pail Mall Gazette, also stanchly
IS convinced that the Sim Fein con-
spiracy has been broken. 1t would ap-
pear that De Valera, realizing this col
lapse and also that America had tired
Of him, has returned in the hope Of
saving something from the wreckage
Tho Pail Mall Gazette is informed that
there is no shadow of truth in the sug-
geston that Premier Lloyd George IS
contemplating entering into any nego-
tiations with De Valera"
Dublin reports to-day say that the
extension of the martial law area to
the counties of Kilkenny, Wexford,
slump in peace stock, especially since
these counties have been regarded
generally as quiet.
The arrest of J. J. Walsh, member of
the Sim Fein parliament, in Cork
hotel early this morning, is also char
acterized Ny the Natonalists as an at
tempt to create an atmosphere prejudi-

Walsh who yesterday cabled to the
American Red Cross that Britain was
waging savage war in Ireland.

the employees proposed division Of

LONDON, Jan. GA military force,
aided by smoke screen, to-day killed
sixteen members Of band Of civilians
which waylaid them at Meelin North
west, County Cork, Ireland, captured
the survivors and then destroyed five
houses at the scene, as a result 6f the
ambush. The guns and ammunition Of
the attacking party also were seized,
according to Dublin dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company. The
houses were destroyed by military or
der, a Dublin dispatch says to the
Central News.
The scene Of the ambush was in a
secluded roadway outside Meelin,
which is near Kantuck. Three military
lorries were coming from Mallow when
a bomb was thrown at the leading
vehicle, according to an Evening News
dispatch from Cork. The bomb missed
its mark and was followed by a re-
volver fusillade from the attackers.

made sortie, and as the smoke died
away rounded up the survivors Of the
attacking party.
This afray shows that a new step
has been taken by the military author
tiles in equipping their forces with
smoke bombs. 1t is supposed these
are the same kind that were used ex-
tensively in the war. They arc the

smoke issues from them, while pieces
Of fire are scattered in all directions.

Home of Collectors Raidcd

DUBLIN, Jan. 5.-An official dis
patch referring to the ambush at Nee
lin says: "The attackers are believed
to have suffered heavy casualties and
no members Of the Crown forces were
injured"
Armed men to-day rajded the
houses Of rate collectors who had
obeyed the orders of the local govern
ment board by depositing their col
lections in q bank to their own credit
instead Of that of councils which have
acknowledged the Dali Eireann. The
raiders compelled the collectors to
sign checks payable TO bearer, trans
ferr!ng the money collected.
Members of the raiding party then
remained on guard while their COL
leagues went to the bank and cashed
the checks. The money thus obtained
will be turned over to the Sim Fein

The one probability which cmerges
from all this difference of opinion is
that the Dali Eireann (Sinn Fein par

decision will provide a basis for the
Irish policy in future negotiations.
These negotiations will be accelerated
by the fact that the Obstetrics are not

held now any time necessary arrange

Says De Valera Conferred
With Aids in England
Correspondent Asserts He Spent
Three Days in Manchester and
Walked Streets Undisauised


LONDON, Jan. G.-Esmon de- Va
lera stayed at least two nights and
three days in Manchester last week on
his way to Ireland from the United
States, the Manchester correspondent
Of The London Times says. Ho az
rived in an ordinary train, undisguised,
and walked through the streets to keep
an appointment with the leaders of the
Manchester Sim Feiners.
The Irishman who vouchsafed this
information to the correspondent nd-
ded: "If he has left Manchester, he has
done SO in the same way he came-aS
free-born citizen Of the great Irish
republic"
DUBLIN. Jan. b--'Tne Associated
Press correspondent to-day convcrsed
with several persons who have seen
and spoken with Eamon de Valera.
He is reported to be in excellent
health and is extremely busy, having
already held several conferences with
leaders Of various departments Of the
Sim Fein government. It is expected
he soon will issue a message to the
American people followed by mani
festO addressed to the Irish people.
According to these informants, Pro-
fessor de Valera did not come here on
a peace mission, but because Of the
conviction that situation had arisen
urgently requiring his presence. They
distrust the reports that he will not
be arrested and declare that he is
equally con the rum with the other
leaders. They still insist that any
overtures must come from the British
government and that negotiations are
only possible on the basis Of independ-
ence and by treaty between the two
governments.

HOHENZOLLERN HOPES

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 M9[ v HILE there is life there is
 WY none 50 a0jsct as to be with
 out hope. So, although the Kaiser in exile at Doorn and the Crown Prince at ,Wieringen have sunk to the most humiliating and ridiculous levels of provincial existence, it has been evil dent for some time that they were not unwilling to plot. It has seemed, at times as if the plotting varied with the efforts to deceive the world as to tho innocence of their intentions through trusion of their own supposedly pathetic estate, with the Kaiserin's heart trou- bles thrown in for good measure, when ever the Dutch government became un- duly suspicious. The pathetic camou- flage has been almost overdone. The rcyalist papers of Germany, a la Karl Rosner, have vied with each other for months in describing the domestic siln- plicities of the Kaiser as villager; while the Grown Prince, in between hav- ing few feminine friends visit him in his island retreat in the Zuyder Zee, has not been above pathos in letting friendly correspondents tell the home folks how he longs to get back to his wife and family and supervise the train ing of his little boys.
 As the under facts would seem to in- dicate, all this has been the surface masking of petty plots and counter plots and conferences which looked to the possible return of some one of the Hohenzollerns to the Prussian throne. To them it seemed reasonable enough If Constantine why not Wilhelm, fath- CT and son? If Charles had seeming chance in agonized Hungary. which never cared for him, why not the Hoh-

WHY A sEAsHELL RoARs

From Book of Wonders.
 The sounds we hear in the sea shell are really air waves or sounds made by air waves. because all sounds are produced by air waves.
 The reason you can hear these sounds in sea shell is because the shen is so constructed that 1t forms a natural sounding box. The wooden part of a guitar zither or violin, is a sounding box. They have the faculty of picking up the sounds and making them stronger. We call them ''resona- tors" because they make sounds re- sound. The construction of sea shell makes an almost perfect resoiiator. A perfect resonator will pick up sounds which the human ear cannot .hear at all and magnify them so that if you hold resonator to the ear. you can hear sounds you could not otherwise hear. Ear trumpets for the deaf are built upon this principle.
 E Sometimes when you. with your ear alone. think everything is absolutely

STICK TO SCOTCH

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Scotland has concluded it's referen- dunn on prohibition, and decided to stay wet. The result by areas and number of licenses affected is more one- sided than the actual individual vote itself. Of 9,371 licenses only AT were voted out. In 52 areas where votes were taken, 4s6 voted for no change, 41 for dry districts and 35 for limitation of drink licenses.
 But in the total of 1,15S,97s individ- ual votes cast, 6s2,222 were wet and 442,530 dry, with 19,226 for limitation of licenses. Thus approximately seven out of every dozen voters were wet and almost four and a half dry, without counting those who were for limitation of licenses. The actual verdict to stick to Scotch has rejoiced the vets, but the drys. looking forward to a national rather than local option vote, are talk ing hope from the revelation of indi- vidual opinion.

How the Handicapped
 Overcome Difficulties

1T N every community, if one looks U about him, he will find handi- capped men and women bravely sur mounting obstacles that would hold them back and doing their part in the community well. He will discover a healthful optimism back of the effort put forth by these people. To the strong and unhampered this seems remarkable; but the unfortunate un- derstand why it is and the simplicity of that optimism.
 The man and woman forced by some physical handicap to introspec- tion, naturally evolve from that to comparison with others. They dis cover men and women in a worse plight than themselves. Pride com- pels them to rally; to prove to their fellow men and women that they are big enough to rise above physical dis advantages.
 Alexander H. Stephens, an invalid all his manhood days, rose to the height of successful statesmanship. The Bronte sisters were consumptves. Milton was blind. Pepin the Great was dwarf. Richard III, although hunchback, won a kingdom.
 Handicaps force efforts to over come them. The smile of the handi- capped man and woman is their card of introduction, the sign manual of their ability to overcome difficulties.
 Lives like that of the late Steele Andrews go to show that no handi- cap is insurmountable, and that none can prevent the acquisition of the love and esteem of ones fellow man.

Best Pine Lumber
 Demand in Months

1T1HE Southern Pine association, au-
 U thority in the southern pine lumber business, reports an increased demand for lumber. Stocks are far below the stocks carried in 1915 and 1916.
 For the week ending January IA, 136 mills reported orders totaling I3,163 cars, of 6s,OO0,o0o feet. "This," says the association, lis the largest amount of business received in any week in the past nine months, the previous high mark being in last April"
 Production remains at low levels, which, taken with the small stocks on hand, means that revival of struc- tural activity is not going to find a great quantity of lumber ready to be dumped on the market at prices dic- tated by purchasers.
 The slowing down process of the past few months has been handled with rare circumspection by pro- ducers. None has kept running for the mere sake of running. None has accumulated large stocks manufac- tured and placed on yards at the cur rent price of labor, raw material and the like. All have guarded against being caught unawares by any stage of the market. When another call is made on the industrials, they will be found in a position to care for themselves fairly well.
 It has been a leveling process rather than demoralizing ones First in one direction and then in another the tide appears to be turning. Indi- cations point to considerable activity in structural lines by early spring. Farmers are rapidly turning their faces to new crops and away from the depression caused by low prices of the fall and winter. The nation is almost reconciled to the economy that has been forced on it. The outlook is satisfying to him who is willing to have'it come about gradually.

enzollerns in Prussia, which at one time responded to the every whim and visa of the war lords In much of this the wish was father to the hope and the whim to the readiness to sec in any anniversary the latest chance to arouse the interest of the people. But whether these plots have reached such stage as to compel the Dutch government to act is another question. For one thing, 1t IS rather fatal for any of the Hohenzollerns to call attention to the current preten- sions on the anniversary of the estao- lishment of the German empire on Janu- ary IS, 1871, and to invite comparison with Bismarck. For, whether the rule of blood and iron be admired by war-torn Ger many or not, even the monarchists in Prussia have not been able to arouse much widespread enthusiasm over the fallen Kaiser. Any historic parallel can not but react against William, who, a- the crucial moment, instead of proving himself to be the real leader of German destinies, was more like "a lath painted to look like iron, as Bismarck once de- scribed Lord Salisbury. With the heroic thrown overheard and with nothing with which to appeal to the people at home, save the fact that Germany and Europe once trembled at his nod. it would not he at all surprising to find out that however compromising. the Hohenzollern plots have been entirely without results. There is too much direct evidence of the down. right disgust with kaiserdom on the part of the masses of the German people, suf- fering acutely from the war, to warrant the belief that all that the Kaiser has to do is to lift his hand in order to bs Prussia. The wind sits not in that guar. lter.
