' caused amongst
members of the various nationalities in the United States we are now con
stantly confronted with printed exhortations to “foreigners * to remember
what they owe this nation. Sometimes editorial writers get offensive in the
effort to mak 1 people believe that they should forget absolutely the lands
where they were born, and divorce their sentiments from tatherlands like un
natural brutes. Hut either those editorial writers are ciassly ignorant or
they are just working for the dollar of some interested masters.
In the first place; A man who would forget his native land is a man who
would be no good as a citizen of any country*—he would be like a man who
takes a wife and lets his mother starve to death.
In the second place; There is no man who works honestly in a foreign
country who does not do more for the country than the country does for him.
A man who does his part in the world owes nothing to any country. All that
can bo required of a foreign-born citizen is that he will defend the flag whose
protection he seeks in return, and both are bound in honor to give that aid.
If we take Alaska, for instance, we shall find that so-called foreigners
have made it. Juneau was a Frenchman. The discoverers of Nome were
Scandinavians ami the discoverers of Ruby were of the same nationality.
I'edro was probably not a born American, although this cannot be stated for
a certainty. Fritz Miller, the discoverer of Atlin, was a German, and one
could go on proving that this northern country owes almost all that it is to
men who saw the light of day first in foreign countries. Fven Franklin K.
Lane was not born in the United States.
Cut out all the rot about what they are pleased to cull hyphenated
Americans, whether you are an American-Indian or of the double barrelled
kind known as Anglo-Saxon-Americans. You can love the land you came
from and be true to the land of your adoption. You cannot be a good citizen,
indeed, if you fail in either respect.
Train Men To Know
How l'o Be Soldiers
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
(United Press StatT Correspondent)
BERNE, May 11. — The men o!
Switzerland aren’t soldiers, in peace
times. They are only citizens whe
know how to BE soldiers if the>
have to.
The United States doesn’t need 4,
000,000 soldiers. What it DOES need
is $4,000,000 men who know how tc
BE soldiers, in ease the need a ises.
“I had a boy in college" wrote the
father of a young British soldier
“One day he ran off and enlisted in a
London foot regiment. After three
months' training his regiment was
sent to Flanders. He was killed at
Ypres. I am telling you this to help
| you to preach the gospel of compul
I sory training, not conscription.
**I am grieved and proud about my
boy. But 1 feel that his regiment did
not have a sporting chance. They
only knew HOW TO GO OX AXL
DIE. I feel that the men in England
who oppose compulsory military
training are guilty of a greater felony
than those who sank the Lusitania.”
This is the sort of feeling I find
this feeling expressed by this father
that brought about compulsory mili
tary training in Switzerland.
Here in Switzerland where, undo
the marvelous system of militar;

training, a fifth of a million of the
finest soldiers in Europe were placed
on the frontiers of their country to
guard them before the first shots at
Liege had died down, you get it driven
into your American mind that com
pulsory military training isn’t intend
ed to create soldiers. It’s purpose is
to create a nation of fine, strong
young men and hale, hearty old men
who will know how to !>e soldiers if
an enemy forces them to play the
role.
The Swiss arent fussy; they clont
love fighting. All these years of
! learning how to be soldiers, if the
need conies, has taught them that
fighting is no picnic and that it
doesn’t pay to start a row just for the
sake of rowing.
The Swiss are not a fighting nation,
like the Serbs, for instance and yet,
man for man, the Swiss army is the
equal of any army in the world.
Every citizen in the ever-fighting
Balkans is a soldier; a potential kill
er. That’s one of the troubles with
the Balkans. But every citizen of
Switzerland, because of his scientific
training, is a citizen who’ll be a
soldier ONLY when some enemy
drives him to play that role.
That’s the big reason Switzerland is
at peace today.
It would cause an upheavel in the
United States to put the Swiss mili
tary system into elTcct there. In fact
we couldn’t transplant it in its en
. tirety.
There are some things about it that
• Americans wouldn’t like. One of
; them is the little blue book.

SHOOTING IS ALLEGED
TWO MEN WANTED
JUNEAU. —A warrant was issued
this morning by United States Com
missioner Marshall for the arrest of
Thomas Fay and John Doe, the latter
can be identified by Thomas Dodson,
at Eagle Kiver, for the wilful and i
wanton destruction of personal prop
erty.
According to the story told by C. S.
Hawn, who took out the complaint,
Fay and the other man have been in
that section for some time and have
been shooting their guns and doing
other things to terrorize the resi
dents.
Fay has located several pieces of
land there and has attempted to hold
them unlawfully. He recently tore
down location notices put up by
Hawn on a piece of land located in
the Forest Reserve and for which a
permit has been granted by the For
est Service. This land is located
across the water from Eagle River.
Hawn was living in a tent on the
property and recently started to build
a house on the land. While absent,
according to the story, Fay and the
other man tore down the tent and
started to tear down the partially j
built house. The fifteen-year-old son
of Hawn appeared on the scene and
the two men took a shot at him. 'Ihe
boy stood his ground and fired a
1 couple of return shots and the men
| took to their heels,
i A deptuy marshall will make the,
! trip to Eagle river this evening or to- j
morrow and bring the two men to
Juneau.—Empire.
