matte corps, or. as someone has put 1t,
through the medium of marriage. for
an astonishingly great number of the
foreigners accredited to Uncle Sans
capital are the happy husbands OF
American wives.
In one or two cases in which the
wives of the diplomats are not of
American birth, they are of American
education, and this has been true in
many instances of the helpmeets OF
the men who have come from the
Orient to represent their newly awak-
ened countries in a land where liberty
has lived for something over CEN
fury.
Take It all in all the foreign colony

in its work. but in its personnel, off,

for his post IN part at least because
once upon time he had served in a
Junior capacity as an attache of his
governments legation In the Ameri-
can capital. Moreover. his wife, the
Baroness Uchida. received her entire
education in the United States. She
is graduate of Bryn Mawr, and It is
rather the usual thing for her to leave
Washington and society and diplo-
matte demands behind her to spend
few days each month under the hos
pitable roof OF her alma mater.

wife of the counselor of the embassy resides with
her husband at the capital. There are said to
be some new women In Japan and it may be
that when the Baroness Uchida and Madame
Matsui return to their native country they may
look upon the new movement among their sisters
not wholly to be condemned even in an
oriental land where woman's subsection their

The American spirit seems to take hold OF for
egners soon as they reach this country. The
ambassadors ministers and attaches who have.
young children, almost invariably send them to
the public schools. to the dsmay of the preceptors
and preceptresses of the private schools which
are attended by the children of many rich Amer

PUZZLE OVER INTER
NATIONAL TANGLE

Minneapolis. MINI. Feb. THE
right of a Canadian citizen to obtain
custody of children who have never
been in Canada, and whose mother
asserts she is still an American, is
to be decided. The question is in
volved in divorce suit brought by
Mary Putney against William Putney.
Several years ago Putney went to
Canada and took up land. To prove
up it was necessary for MIN 10 become
a citizen of Canada and he was natur-
allied. Mrs. Putney refused to go to
Canada and forfeit her citizenship, and
the two small daughters are Ameri-
can-born citizens.
The chief contest is over the po.
has objected to their being taken to
foreign country and growing up as
Canadian citizens.
The laws provide that if foreign
woman marry an American citizen the
marriage naturaliZes her. Likewise
in ordinary cases. if the husband give
up his American citizenship the wife
loses hers also.
w. T. Coe. attorney for Mrs. Put
ney, does not believe the federal laws
will compel a woman to give up heI
citizenship against her will nor allow
minor children to be taken from the
country when they We're born citi
zens and when their mother objects.
