Students Taking
Military Course
Will Get $30 Per
(Temple Telegram Special.)
College Station, Tex., Sept, 1.—
Rank of private with $30 per month
cash, and provision of clothes, subsist-
ence and instruction without cost Is
the latest plan of the war department
for the students over 18 years of age
who enroll in the students army train-
ing corps at A & M. college, accord-
ing to a telegram received by Presi-
dent Bizzell. The telegram announces
that the latest revision of the selec-
tive service act will result in the mo-
bilization of practically all physically
fit registrants under 21 years of ase
within the next ten months, and vir-
tually all students over 18 will be In
the field by next June except those
pursuing certain technical courses.
All young men over 18 who are
planning to go to college this year
will register with their local boards In
September and be Inducted Into the
students army training corps at col-
lege about Oct. 1. Members of the
S. A. T. C. will be subject to the pay
and discipline of privates, and these
coming to A. & M. college will be re-
quired to pay for their subsistence
only from Sept. 18 to Oct. 1 as the war
department will provide for contract
for their housing, subsistence and In-
struction after their enlistment in the
8. A, T. C.
The student soldiers will be kept
under strict supervision and observa-
tion to determine which of them are
qualified for future officers and teoli^
nical experts. Transfers will bo made
from time to time to officers training
schools or to college for further train-
ing. The college enrollment will be
kept at uniform strength by continued
admissions from secondary schools or
by transfer from depot brigades.
There will also be vocational seotijns
of the R A. T. C. recruited by calls
from local boards.
"Every possible.effort will be made
to accommodate all students *\!io ap-
ply for admission and who are quail-
fled to enter," President Bizzell said.
"The unusual advantages offered un-
der the new war department regula-
tions and the provisions of the new
national service act promise to result
In the largest enrollment the college
has ever known."
[elation of Our Neutral
Alien Subjects to Draft
The United State* has arm/
*ffle»t*.
(By Edwin Bjorkman )
(Tempi* T*l*gram Special.)
Washington, Sept. 1.—Reports that
neutral subjects are being forced to
serve In the American army have
caused considerable excitement abroad
and especially In Sweden. Some cf
this excitement has been based on
misinformation. Mostly It has sprung
from a complete misunderstanding of
the situation over here.
When somewhat more than a year
ago, this country began its prepara-
tions for meeting German militarism
on its own grounds by the congres-
sional enactment of a "draft law," ail
men of military age (11 to SI) were
required to register regardless of their
being American cltlbens or not. Such
a provision Is clearly within the rights
of any nation and must not be con-
strued as an attempt to force military
service upon foreigners. In Sweden,
for Instance, every person, whether a
citizen or a foreigner, has to register.
Taking It all In all, the registration
caused very little difficulty, the great
majority of the foreigners within our
borders understanding It by reference
to home conditions and obeying it un-
grudgingly. The few exceptions that
occurred were mostly traceable to
syndicalistic or pro-German agitation
based on a complete misrepresenta-
tion of the objects underlying the la'v.
Nc|iarat« Class for Aliens.
As the registration was followed by
the actual drafting of eligible men Into
the army, neutral aliens of military
age were placed apart In a class by
themselves leaving them outside the
workings of the law. In this connec-
tion, however, there arose a difference
of opinion as to the proper distinction
between foreign subjects and Ameri-
can citizens. In other words, we had,
and have, among us a class of men
standing half-way between those who
owe no allegiance whatsoever to this
country and those wha have com-
pletely transferred thtlr original al-
legiance to the United States. Thsse
are the men who have taken their
"first papers," but who have not yet
obtained their "second" or final docu-
ments of naturalization.
Roughly speaking, our laws provide
that, to become an American citizen,
the former subject of a foreign pow-
er must first of all file a "declaration
of intention," which, after a certain
number of years and the fulfillment
of certain conditions, entitles him to
obtain a final decree of naturalization.
The binding character of the Initial
declaration is not generally under-
stood. It constitutes, in faot, an oath
of allegiance which, In Itself, should
suffice to change the legal status of
the man taking It. Administered to
a Swede, for Instance, It runs In this
way:
"I hereby declare,, on oath, that I
absolutely and entirely renounce and
abjure all allegiance and fidelity to
any foreign prince, potentate, state, or
soverignty, and particularly to Gus-
tavus V, the king of Sweden, of whom
I have heretofore been a subject; that
I will support and defend the Consti-
tution and laws of the United States of
America against all enemies, foreign
and domestic; and that I will bear
true faith and allegiance to the same."
Right of Suffrage.
Nor Is it enough to reckon with
the wording of this formula. Its prac-
tical effects in the past must also be
taken Into consideration. In most rf
our states alt the rights of citizenshipi
except that of voting at public elec-
tions have been bestowed on every
man subscribing to this "declaration
of Intentions." Until quite recently,
most of the western states gave him
the right to vote on the same slmplo
condition. There ant? still six states
where a man haviflg only his "first
papers" is as much a citizen as one
fully naturalized as long as he stays
within the state. States like Minne-
sota, which have only recently chang-
ed their suffrage laws, are full of men
who have lived there a life time and
enjoyed eyery right of citizenship
without having become fully natural-
ized.
Under such circumstances it seem-
ed only just to those who framed our
original measures of military pre4
paredness that men who had readily
forsworn foreign allegiance In order
to obtain the principal rights of citi-
zenship might also be expected to,ac-
cept the duties incumbent on every
one having become an Integral part of
the ration. In other words, men hav-
ing obtained their "first papers" ^ere
made subject to military service un-
der the draft law.
From those Immediately concern^
few protests were heard. Put again
the Swedes formed an exception. And
I fear that, in some cases at least,
they were encouraged, If not actually
egged on, from abroad. The Issue
thus raised was taken up with consid-
erable determination by the Swedish
government, which, It must be ad-
mitted, made out an excellent case on
the basis of the old treaties between
Sweden and the United States. The
legal correctness of its contentions
was granted at Washington, and a
while ago the draft law was amended
by congress in a manner designed to
meet all protests.
Amendment to Itrufl lint
Under the law as amended, liability
to military service still falls on men
of military age who have filed their
declaration to become American citi-
zens, but such liability car be escaped
by a withdrawal of, the declaration.
In other words, a Swede of 25, say,
who has previously obtained his "first
papers." need only report to the
proper authorities that he wishes to
return to his original status as a Swed-
ish citizen. He Is then automatically
placed outside the provisions of the
draft law.
But if he avails himself ol this priv-
ilege, a record of his case Is taken and
filed for future reference, so that. If
he should ever again try to obtain
American cltisenshlp. It may be used
against him. Under an additional
provision of the draft law no man who
has eacaped it by a withdrawal of Ills
original "declaration of Intention"
can ever become an American citlsen.
There can be no question about the
Justness of this provision. The man
whose oath has proved so little worth
In the past cannot be expected to
prove more faithful In the future.
And a man who Is not willing to stand
by this country In Its hour of need
cannot hope for any consideration
when the crisis Is past
Here and there a voice of protest ha*
been raised among the naturalised
Swedes of the United State®. It does
not represent the feelings of the over
whelmlngly majority of the race In
America. I have more than my own
feelings to offer as basis for this opin
Ion. Since the beginning of this year
I have visited our largest Swedish
settlements as far west as Denver. I
have talked with Swedes of every pos-
sible class and trade and type aiW
position—from leaders like ex-Uovern-
or John Llnd of Minnesota or Chief
Justlco Harry Olson of Chicago down
to obscure but clear-minded and
honest hearted workmen and farmers.
I have asked them what they thought
of these young men of Swedish blood
who a little while ago were so eager
to be classed as Americans, and who
today—at this moment of supremo na-
tional emergency—have suddenly dis-
covered that they prefer to remain
Swedes politically as well as racially.
While the answers received have dif-
fered widely in form, their spirit has
been identical in every single case.
Letter i>uni Jolin 1,1ml.
The following lotter from ex-Gov-
ernor IJnd of Minnesota Is typical:
Mr. Edwin Bjorkman,
2S5 W. Twenty-third street,
New Tork City, N. T.
My Dear Mr. Bjorkman:
I have your letter of the 2Srd In
which you say, "I hear from Sweden
that the pro-Germans are making use,
for propaganda purposes, of the draft-
ing of 'first paper' Swedes in this
country." That is very like the Ger-
mans. I assume that they are plan-
ning to run the affairs of Sweden as
they are doing In Russia. I know of
no way of counteracting such propa-
ganda. In this world's struggle be-
tween autocracy and militarism on
one side and self government and free
institutions on the other, the Swedes
must make their choice. We have tak-
en our stand and we propose to de-
fend it to the end. We have no right
even to attempt to Influence the peo-
ple of Sweden. If they prefer the na-
tional life the people of Poland,
Schleswlg, Alsace and I^orralne enjoy
they have th# right and power to
choose it. We accord the same lights
to the Swedish emigrants In the
United States who have not become elt.
izens. If they desire to become Amer-
ican citizens the door is open.
But we are having a housecleaning
Just now. We are taking an inventory
of our national assets. We have a
right to know and we propose to know
now whether the aliens among us In-
tond to become members of our na-
tioiiiil household. If they do they
must accept the same burdens and re-
sponsibiiities as the other members-of
the family, if they do not they can
remain as strangers and aliens and
have the protection of our laws so
long as they observe them.
If an alien wants the benefits of
American citizenship he must assume
all the risks and all the burdens that
follow. If he wishes to remain an
alien and a stranger he must be satis-
fied with the alien's rights. He can
not expect to sit down at the family
table. If a man who has declared
his intentions to become a citizen of
tho United State*
his declaration let him do so; tho law
wioely provides that a man who does
that can never after become a citizen
Wo want no "fair weather" citizens.
Tour truly,
JOHN LIND.
The statements of the other men
with whom I talked were to the same
effect. It all goes to show that al-
though there may have been a few de-
faulters among the Scandanavian
people In America, men of the same
blood a* themselves have straightway
risen up In wrath to purge themselves
of the reflected discredit.
Ford Attacked By
Senator Sherman
i 4.a*i>cUt«d Pr«M Dispatch )
Washington, Bept. 1.—Profits of
the meat packers, and of Henry Ford's
automobile business were compared
today by Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
In addressing the senate In criticism
of the federal trade commission's re-
cent report condemning the packers
as a monopoly making excessive prof-
its. The packers' profits are limited
by ths food administration to 9 per-
cent, Senator Sherman said, wliHe
profits of Ford's company In 1916
were 29.5 percent.
"If the packers had made such
profits," he added, "the trade com-
mission would have been speechh
with Indignation."
Referring to Mr. Ford's recent an-
nouncement that he would return to
the government 130,000,000 of profits
on recent war orders, Senator Sher-
man said It would "help undo what
he did as a pacifist before the war,"
but that the promise might better
have been made before Mr. Ford
became a candidate for the United
States senate.
