WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-NAtural-

children born OF native ltal-

win return to italy at their peril
during the continuance Of the present
European war, for they are almost
certain to be impressed into the 1tal-

come to the state department from
the friends and relatives of young
Italians who, after having been nat
uralized in America, have returned
to Italy for visits, that they have
been required to join the army.
The state department has been un-
able to do anything for them be-
cause there is no naturalization
treaty between italy and the United
States, so that the former country
does not coneede the right of these
Italians to expatriate themselves.
Regarding the children born OF
Italians in the United States, who
are likewise being drafted into the
italian army upon their appearance
in Italy, there is possibility of Sc
rious complications between the two
