CIT1zENsHIP-B. H, -Liverm ore, and "One of

writes as follows:
Under ga nswers to Correspondents" in yester-
days issue, in reply TO "W. A F.," you state that
the male children Of aliens born In the United
States and even the of Cinnamon born in
this country, are, attaining their majority, to
all intents and purposes American citizens and
| of such.
| Please inform me how the reverse of this propo.
| sition works. Take the case of boy born,
| say in Yokohama while his parents were on a
| trip to the Orient, his father being American
citizen Can that boy when he arrives at m aturity
register and exercise his prerogative as an Ameri-
can citizen, or is he Chinaman and ineligible for
the rights of franchise in fact cannot land all in
/ the first place these .inhospitable shores' on
account of the restriction act" unless his fond
! the line?
Again. take the case of boy born in New York
! OF German parents temporarily in this country,
ana who shortly after that event return with him
to the fatherland. Can that boy when 20 years OF
| age come back to the States and after one years
residence register and vote an American citizen?
If the boy was born in Yokohama he would
| not be Chinaman, and would not be one of
the restricted class, as there is no restriction
as to natives of Yokohama, who are Japanese.
If the boy was born 20 American parents while
they were travelling through China the boy
would be a Chinese by birth, but he would be
a citizen of the United States for children of
American parents born abroad while the
parents are travelling through foreign eoun-
try, with the intention of returning to the
United States to reside, recognized
American citizens. If, however the Ameri-
can parents become residents of a for
! eign country and children are born to
| them, such children are citizens of the
| country of their birth. In the case OF "a boy
born in New York of German parents. tenn
| pore erily in this country and who shortly after
| that event return with him TO the falherland,'
that boy when he attains his majority must
! elect what country he wishes to be q citizen Of
He must elect to become either citizen of the
United States or q citizen of the country of his
father. In the State of California boys of
Chinese parents, born in this State, who have
attained their majority, have been registered
and have voted. In some of the Eastern States
it has been held that children of parents VIII 0
cannot become citizens of the United States,
though born in the United States, are not en-
titled to the franchise. There has never been
q judicial opinion on this matter from the
highest tribunal in the land.
