WARNING ISSUED
To ITALIANS IN
UNITED STATES
NaturaIized Citizens Likely to
Get Into Trouble if They Re-
turn to Native Land at
Present Time.

lsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WiFel
Washington, Oct l4.-COnsiderable
concern was manifested at the stote
department today over the status of
American citizens, both native and
naturalized, who were caught in bel
ligerent countries by the outbreak OF
the European war and drafted for
military service because they or their
fathers were born subjects of such
countries.
+ This has occurred in countries with
which the United States has no nat
urallzation treaties and has called
forth this warning, issued to foreign
born elements in the United States by
the department against visits to Eur
ope at this time:
"The department of state has been
informed that persons born in thls
country of Italian parents, when they
return to Italy are held for military
service in that country. Although
such persons are born American cltl-
zens under the laws of this country
they are also born Italian subjects
under Italian law thus having a dual
nationality. For this reason the ltai-
ian government claims their services
for the Italian army when such per-
sons are found in Italy
Department Is Embarrassed.
'The department is also informed
of numerous eases where aliens VINO
have been naturalized as citizens OF
the United States and have subse-
auently returned to Italy, have been
held in that country for military SER
vice. There is no treaty Of naturaliza-
tion between the United States ana
Italy and under Italian law the nat
urallzatlon of an Italian subject as,
a citizen or subject of another couh-
try does not relieve him from the IL
ability of the performance of military
service in Italy
oThe department has found itself
embarrassed in protesting to the va
rious governments by the fact mat
tho United states has adhered TO the
doctrine that the child born to Amer
lean parents in foreign country IN
an American citizen unless he voiuh-
,a,iIv relinduishes the citizenship.
The position of Italy, France and
many other countries is that when a.
CITIZEN leaves the fatherland without
having rendered military service not
only he. but his male children are
snbiect 10 arrest for military duty
mon their return to the fatherland.
So far. it is said, the efforts of the
slate department to obtain the re-
lease Of such persons nave proved
unavailine. although they are being
continued.

believes her presence here will have a
demoralizing effect pom the others.
Julia Flake, arrived at Genev to-
day. She is registered under an as

and none of the other inmates know
Of her identity.
I'VE have many girls here who, I am
afraid would get up Julia Flake as a

result. This is a training school and

ROCK ISLAND LINE
WILL REORGANIZE

New York. Feb. 2.-Complete re-
organization or the system OF railroads
originally known as the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific lines, including the
abolition of it's two holding companies
known as the Rock Island company of
New Jersey and the Chicago, Rock ISL
and d Pacific Railroad company of
Iowa, is likely to be in the
near future. Lawyers representing the
Will probably be submitted for ratifica-
ton to the Interstate Commerce com
mission. Rock Island stocks were
weak on the exchange today.
When these plans are carried out
they will leave only one company where
three now exist and the management
and operation Of the system will be un-
der control of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railroad company, an Illinois
corporation.
1t has been known for some time that
the leading interests in these lines con
templated the abolition of the holding
companies in conformity with the
wishes of the administration at Wash
ington. In abolishing them it will be
necessary to provide for other issues OF
securities in place of the 4 per cent coll
lateral bonds of the Iowa corporation
and the stocks issued by the New Jer-
sey corporation.

circles that the move might necessitate

WATCHES BY BODY OF
DEAD SISTER FOR DAYS

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. miss
Mary Warren, it was revealed today,
has been dead for days and her sister,
Mis- Nanette Warren, is believed to be
hopelessly insane here as a result, it
is thought, of a determination to
starve rather than let it be known that
they were in want. Nanette had been
watching her sisters body and would
see no one. Mrs. l.. L.. Woods,
the woman at whose house the two
lived, broke into the room with the as
sistance of the police. Mary, it was
found, had been dead for some time
and Nanette's mind was in such a con-
dition that she could not tell the cir
cu1nstances. The women came here
from Toledo, Ohio, 81 months ago and
each was around so years old.
A half empty chloroform bottle
found in the apartment suggested that
Miss Mary had not died naturally, and
there was evidence that her sister had
not eaten for more than a week, APP
