SOUND DOCTRINE.


n. Bsysrd's Dshaltion of the Rights o.
Nsfaraiized Citizens Abroad
Secretary Bayard has taken q sound
position in the case Of the naturalized
American citizens Of French descent
who were impressed for military sery-
ice on their return to France.
The law on the subject is reasonably
clear. There are cases wherein q for
eigner who returns to his native land
after having been naturalized here
may be there held to military obliga-
tons incurred before he left home for
the United States But he can not be
held for military service when such
prior obligations do not exist-that is.
when the claim or demand has its
origin after American citizenship has
been acquired.
As a rule, the rights Of . n~aturalized
American citizen on returning to his
own country are the same rs those Of
. native born citizen. and are entitled
to the same prot ection from this Gov
eminent. The arrest and detention Of
the former for military service would
be regarded by the State Department
At Washington as substantially the
same a the arrest and detention Of
the latter. Nor are the naturalixat alton
papers Of = citizen open to imPeach-
mentby a foreign Government They
must be accepted BY such Government
