BY WESTBROOK PEGLER

HIS great, hulking, slouchy,
= emotional nation is doing
itself a great disservice in pre-
tending that the soldiers now
under arms and the men who
are vanishing from civil life day
by day are not training to fsha..
a war but just camping out for
the good of their health and to
create the mock prosperity of a
boom in certain lines of build
ing construction and manufac-
turing.
The American Army is train
ing to fight a war against a
powerful and violently agrees
sive enemy whenever the
national government decides to
strike, and it is folly to assume
fatty that if and when war
comes American soldiers never
will fight in foreign lands.
American soldiers will fight
wherever the enemy can be
struck most effectively. and
there Is no need to identify
the enemy.
There is a remote possibility
that unforeseen developments
will defer, month by month, the
decision to strike and that,
taking advantage OF this bor-
rowed time, the nation will de-
velop such strength that the
enemy will reform rather than
invite defeat.
However, that tempting hope
is so unlikely to be fulfilled that
it should be eliminated in the
interests of national defense and
in fairness TO the soldiers, who
themselves should be given TO
understand the strong prob
ability of war and deserve the
backing Of a people thoroughly
aware of the danger.
As TO the politics OF the
"A situation, there is ample dis
cussion elsewhere, but that dis
cussion continues TO obscure the
fact that the military prepara-
ton is based on an assumption
that the object of all this per-
sonal sacrifice by a comparative
few citizens, including Park
avenue glamour boys as well as
young farmers, miners, students.
clerks. factory hands and oc-
cupational nondescripts, is to
meet the enemy of the United
States in war.
And comparatively few are
making any sacrifice at all.
In civil occupations wages and
profits probably will rise and
will be spent for luxurious liv-
ing, notwithstanding taxes. and
II may become necessary TO i'm
pose artificial or token sacrifices
on the civilian-possibly by the
pressure OF propaganda and pub
lie opinion.
EOR example. Mrs. Roosevelt.
L who often sends up balloons
for the government. suggested
the other day that it might he
nice of the civilians to do with
out new automobiles and alumni
mum kitchenware and, believe,
also. that the additional wages
be invested in vernm e n t
bonds.
Mrs. Roosevelt may speak
only her own personal opinion,
but ii would be foolish to ignore
the fact that they are founded
on positive information.
Her utterances along tn e e
lines, therefore, should be inter-
preted as an alarm.
There is much more doubt of
the wisdom of participation in
this war than of the probability
that the United States, sooner or
later, will fight.
his Is no war story. II Is
up to Congress, not columnists,
to make the decision.
But the item which could be
called the war bill is going to
pass soon, and the warning Of
the opposition that it is war
bill has not been denied except
in quibbling and unimportant
particulars by those who run
the government and policy of
the United States.

40 to Regain
Status as
Citizens

"A group of 40 Macomb county
women who married aliens prior
to September %, 1922 and there
by lost their American citizen
ship, will appear before Judge
James E. Spier in Circuit Court,
Thursday AFTERNOON, in repatria-
ton proceedings,
Until the statute of 1922 be-
came effective, thousands of AM
erican-born women, whose fam
lilies had lived in the United
States for generations, were
deprived of citizenship when
they married a foreigner.
The majority of the Macomb
county expatriots have never left
the u. S. A. and many of them
have never been outside this
county. Some have voted for
several years.
When they stand before Judge
Spier, however, they will re-
nounce citizenship in the country
to which their husbands claimed
utilization at the time Of mar
riage.
Then they will pledge alleg-
lance to the United States.
The law which deprived Them
of citizenship was Z follower
from the British legal system,
which still deprives women ce
citizenship when they marry "a
alien.
