WAR OBJECTORS STATUS IS TESTED Right to Become Citizens Ar- gued Before U. S. Su- preme Court. The Supreme Court must decide whether refusal of an applicant for American citizenship to bear arms in defense of the country, unless in his opinion such military action is “morally justified,” constitutes cause for rejec- tion of the application. ‘The court yesterday heard arguments affirming and op the right to American citice: l:.; oé l‘yd"uhelm!o‘;::%‘: of theology, Doug e Maclnf a canndnl:,n who served with the Do- minion and American forces overseas in the World War, who said he would not bear arms for the United States un- less he thought the war was morally Justified. A similar case, involving Marie Averil Bland, s Canadian nurse, now living in New York City, is to he argued today. In the cases of MacIntosh and the nurse, the Second Circuit Court of Ap- peals has held the applicants were en- titled to citizenship. Objections Are Defended. ‘MacIntosh was represented by John W.

APRIL 28, 193l Capital Is Youth’s Mecca Tide of School Children From Entire Nation Sweeps Increasing Throng of Pilgrims Toward Historic Washington. BY JAMES H. POWERS. “Where go the children, traveling, traveling. Where go the children, traveling ahead?” Since James Whitcomb Riley, the children’s own poet, asked that poetical poser several years ago & good many re- plies have been suggested. But the Capital City of the Nation belleves it has found the real answer at last. At least, for the Spring of the year. In living, laughing, eager, human hordes, school children from all over the country are pour into Washing- ton, day after day, week after week. By train, by boat and by bus, they are surging down upon the Capital to seek inspiration at its historic shrines. Most of these youthful pilgrims are high school children, though not &ll of them are. They hail all the way from Meine to States in the foothills of the Rockies. Some of the delegations in- clude but a score of boys and girls. Others range into the hundreds. In the last 10 days the host at the Capital has been swelled by dozens of parties from every State in New England. They have rubbed elbows with high school multitudes from Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia and Ohlo. “Where go the children, traveling, aveling . . . ?” Is it any wonder ‘Washington thinks the question settled once for all? During the week, to cap the climax, along came news from Wis- consin to the effect that 26,000 school children from that far-away sovereign State are preparing to make the pil- Perhaps the most extraordinary fact about this extraordinary movement is that it developed through the initia- tive of these yougsters themselves. That it should have happened, unobtrusively, quietly, during the post-war decade popularly known as the “jazz age,” may suggest to the thoughtful that the whole story of the “jazz age” is not yet writ- ten. Evidently some of our pessimists “rdt c¥n‘|;a ;mve ml.fmd an meomnt part of the drama of our contemporary national life.

At last, when the final Spring vacation of their high school days comes round, the sinews of the expedi- tion are usually available. In some in- stances, where there has been a short- age, public-spirited local citizens have “chipped in” with contributions to bring the total up high enough to meet the costs. Every party takes plenty of chap- erones—one woman teacher for every 20 girls, one man teacher for every 25 boys. The youngsters make no mistake on this point. They insist upon it, as they also insist on themselves selecting these elders from the faculty. The detalls of the visit are then handed over to professional agencies, and the fun begins. In some States, notably Wisconsin, the financial prob- lems of the visit to Washington by school children are too sizeable for the boys and girls to manage. They will have to travel 2,000 miles. ‘The 26,000 boys and girls who are preparing to descend upon the Capital from the Badger State, however, H. F. Dismer 3124 14th St. N.W. W. A.
