WiscOnsin's Eugenic Law is
Held Void by Circuit Judge,
F. c. EschweiIer of Mil
waukee.

The Wisconsin eugenics law
regulating the issuance OF mar,

Among other things, the court
held that the law, which pro-

man test, is violative of the rights
secured by the constitution ana
that it conflicts with religious
liberty, because it tends to halt
marriages.

Gus State Board of Health points with
pride to the annual saving in this
county of 100 lives, representing $780,

saving the salary Of the full time health

We cite this as one of numerous ex-
amples of economical administration Of

Aim Of the Law Permitting the Rcten.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir: The
law permitting German subjects to re-
tain German citizenship after naturall-
cation in the United States went into ef-
feet as Mr.. NJ. Leon states, January /.
1914. The question whether certain con-
gressmen have taken advantage OF this
law is therefore idle. because they were
naturallzed many years ago and could
not have made the necessary application
before they applied for American citizen
ship. as the law requires. l. may be men
toned that this law was MT passed 20

citizens of German birth, but solely for
the reason that OF late the number of
Germans who had been naturallzed here
and later returned to Germany has greatly
increa sed. The process OF repatriation be-
ing rather difficult and cumbersome, this
law is intended to facilitate It. 1t has no
other object.
IL may not be aniss to point out that
other countries. for instance Great Brit
ain and Switzerland. take the position
that their citizens do not lose their orig
inal citizenship by being naturalized in
America. There is no previous applicd-
tion required nor any other formality,

Swiss nativity remains citizen of the
