FOREIGN BORN
REAP BENEFIT
IN NEW RULING
The commission of naturalization
has written a Cordovan that this
bureau has taken steps to materially
assist foreigners, who served in the
United States army, in the matter of
citizenship, and these boys will un
doubtedly take advantage of the op
portunity to reap the rewards conr
ferred upon them by their adopted
country. The letter follows:
Dear Sir:—Your government takes
great pleasure in placing in your
hands as an honorably discharged sol
dier your certificate of naturalization
as an American citizen. It welcomes
you into the citizenship of the nation,
to the call to arms when the services
of millions of men were needed to
safeguard democracy, the congress
arranged through the courts and the
bureau of naturalization to have im
mediately granted to you the highest
privilege that any government can
confer upon men, American citizen
ship. No declaration of intention
(“first citizenship paper”) was re
quired of you.
2. If you had not been in the mili
tary service, a first paper and a wait
of over two years would have been
required before you could have be
come a citizen. During this time, the
public school classes in English and
citizenship would have been open to
you to learn to speak, read and write
our language and to secure a better
understanding of the principles of
the constitution of the United States
to which you have sworn you are at
tached. Because of your loyalty to
our government you joined the army
and were denied this opportunity of
going to the public schools.
3. Many of our soldiers did not
have a chance to secure a good educa
tion before entering the army. Your
government, through the bureau of
naturalization, now desires to extend
to you a most cordial invtitation to
Join the public school classes now
being held throughout the United
States, if you are in need of instruc
tion in these matters, and knows that
you will regard this as a duty you
owe to your country just as did your
entrance into the army. sThe better
educated you become, the more useful
citizen you will be.
4. Please show this letter to the
teacher in your nearest public school
building and when you have joined a
class, write to the bureau that you
have done so as it is interested in your
welfare and success.
The author of the sketch "Trading
with Jugo Slavia” which appeared In
yesterday’s Times, Danilo Vucetlch,
resides in Anchorage, where he is em
ployed in the Bank of Anchorage.
Mr. Vucetich is undoubtedly the
best linquist in Alaska and perhaps is
one of the best posted men in the
United States on all questions per
taining to the new countries of Jugo
and Czecho-Slovakia. Mr. Vucetich is
an American citizen who speaks the
purest of English, having received a
large portion of his education in the
American universities of eastern Eur
ope. Dan Vucetich was the man in
charge of the Liberty loan drive in
Anchorage which was the second
town in Alaska to go over the top.
Work has started to clear away the
snowslides on the railroad between
Seward and Anchorage. Sluicing will
be the method invoked to clear away
the slides. Hillside streams occasioned
by the melting snow will furnish the
necessary water.

YANKS OUTBID
BRITISH IN
STEEL DEAL
LONDON, May 8 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Yankee en
terprise triumphed when the city of
Birmingham, planning to replace its
street car rails invited bids for ma
terial. An American obtained the con
tract, although two British firms asked
for it, and protests have been so num
erous that the municipal government
issued an official statement. 0
One of the British bidders, it was
explained, agreed to begin delivering
fifty tons a week in April but would
not consent to a penalty clause for
non-delivery; the other promised 1,200
tons within twenty weeks. The firm in
the United States agreed to complete
delivery by the end of May and quoted
a lower price than either of the Brit
ish manufacturers. The price and the
fact that the authorities were anxious
to complete the work this year were
the influencing factors in favor of the
American bidder.
Sending American steel rails to
Birmingham is like carrying coals to
Newcastle, with the possible excep
tion that the purchase by the City
corporation of street railway rails
made in the United States was be
cause Birmingham thus got better
rails than if the British product had
been used.
Councilman Lee, called upon in the
city council to explain the purchase,
said rails recently supplied by British
manufacturers had not been equal to
the committee’s standard, the life of
such rails being five years instead of
the normal life of fifteen years.
Alderman Bewlay declared this
statement reflected on the British
steel trade industry; and another
member recalled that a rule of the
council forbade the placing of an
order with a foreign concern when the
value was more than $5,000.
The controversy ended when a reso
lution was adopted approving the pur
chase of American rails but reminding
the committee of the existence of the
rule regarding foreign goods and
ordering its enforcement in the future.
