NATIVITY OF soLDIERs-E. E. s, sutter Creek,
Amador County, Cal Your question as to the
number of American-born men there are in
the army of the United States was submitted
to the War Department at Washington. D. c.,
and the following is the answer received:
We do not have statistics showing the percent
age OF natiye-born citizens IN the United states
army. The commissioned officers are all citizens
OF the united States.a very small percentage by
naturalization. In 1894 about 76 per cent of the
enlisted men were citizens by birth or naturaliza-
ton, Doubtless the percentage OF citizens Is
greater now In consequence OF the act Of August /,
1884 as TO enlistments. OF the number of citi-
zens in the United States army probably not over
10 per cent are OF foreign birth.
The act referred to in the Communication
has the following:
Section 2. That hereafter all enlistments In the
army shall be for the term of three years and
soldier shall be again enlisted in the army whose
service during his last preceding term of enlist
ment has not been honest ana faithful; and in
not Ct izen of the United States, who has not
made legal declaration of his intention to become
speak, read and write in the English language, or
who is over so years of age shall be enlisted for
the first enlistment the army.
