Americans Vitally Inter
ested in Government
Bill Before Diet.
DUAL NATIONALITY
QUESTION INVOLVED
NippOnese Woman Marry
ing Foreigner Loses Her
Nationality.

TOKIO, Feb. 25.-In elaboration
L of the cabled announcement
that the government has introduced
into the diet measure designed to
solve the troublesome matter of
double nationality. as applied to the
Japanese children born in the United
States, there are a number of details
OF interest to America.
The governments bill, as has been
announced, emphasizes the right of
eXpatriation Of Japanese born in for
egn lands and provides that such
expatriation involves definitely a loss
of japanese nationality.
One of the contentious of those
seeking a more satisfactory assimila
ton of the Japanese residents in the
United States has been that Japan
hindered that assimilation by main
tanning its legal hold on male children
born in foreign lands. Birth of jap
anese in the 'Unit>d States is tanta-
mount 20 the right Of American cit
izenship but the japanese law has
never recognized the right of Japan
ese born abroad to separate them
selves entirely from japanese nation
ality. Thus arose the question Of
dual nationality between the United
States and Japan just as it has arisen
between the United States and Euro
pean countries where the old Roman
law still obtains. The dual nation
ality" was alleged to react against a
. broader adaptation OF japanese resi-
' dents in the United States to Ameri-
can conditions and American life.
will BE Adopted.
Representative japanese predict
that the pending bill will be adopted
hx ha of
opposition in the conservative house
of peers. They explain that although
the existing Japanese law provides
for eXpatriation. one clause of the
law renders expatriation practically
imperative because it obliges male
japanese resident abroad to serve
their time in the Japanese army. Thus
Japan in no way released its legal
hold on male japanese living in for
eisn lands.
This clause especially affected
California and Hawaii on account Of
1he large number of Japanese resident
in those places. The amendment of
fered in the diet is believed to be a
way out Of the difficulty and is re-
garded as compromise measure
Framed in such "a way as not to excite
dire opposition from Japanese army
circles. The amendment gives the
the United States the right to eXpa-
trate their children and IL this
amendment is accepted it means that
the clause relating to compulsory mil
itary service will not be operative. II
indicates that the japanese govern
ment endorses the right of American
born japanese to become citizens OF
the American republic without any
legal obligations to their home land
Tho step is regarded here as con-
trbution of Japan to the settlement
. of questions involving citizenship
and race between the two countries
The new measure provides that
when a Japanese woman by becOm-
ing the wife of a foreigner has ac-
quircd her husbands nationality she
loses her Japanese nationality.
The pill provides that in case q

foreign nationality by reason of birth

The bill provides that each valu-
alton board shall consist of a director
and at least four assessors. and that
each assessment shall be approved by
the. director and two assessors. The
number of assessors is not limited, but
may be increased according to the
needs of the communities which they
serve. In general the boards shall
operate in districts, but the larger
cities-Greater Berlin for example
are each to have one apiece.

SIR JOHN Vaudeville

The first Englishman to visit the
Tar East and write an account of his
~ravels in the English language was
Sir John Vaudeville, whose adven-
turous career came to an end at
Liege, 544 years ago to-day, Nov. II,
1872. Sir Johns account of his jour
ney into unknown lands sounds very
much like Baron Munchausen, for he
apparently accepted as sober truth all
the legends and wonders which were
poured into his credulous ears Seem
ingly he was ready to believe any
thing, and the Chinese and Tartars
must have had a lot fun "spoofing''
the traveller from the west For two
centuries after his death his work
was recognized as an authority on all
questions of Oriental geography, but
If Sir John confined himself, to truth,
the East has changed a lot since he
wandered over it, and he would never
know the old place now Some his
torians believe that Vaudeville was
the doc" Cook of his age, but the
majority think he really visited the
countries he described, but let his
imagination run away with him in
telling about them.

rank is Vice-Admiral A. V. Kolchak
&C the Russian Imperial Navy, who
was born AZ years ago to-day. Since
the war began the young Russian Of
ficer has displayed such unusual abil-
ity in the naval operations on the
Black and Baltic Seas that he has
been given several high .honors, as
well as frequent promotion. A cap
tain up to April last, he was then
made a rear-admiral, and in Septem-
Der was promoted to the rank Of vice.
admiral. Since then he has been
made the supreme commander of the
Cars fleet in the Black Sea, having
formerly held a high independent
command in the Baltic. Vice-Ad-
mira1 Kolchak has worn the uniform
of the Imperial Navy just quarter
of a century, having entered the SER
vice in 1891. He first came into
prominence as the leader Of the Arc
tic expedition for the relief of Baron
Toll. With seven men in a whale boat
he crossed the Arctic from the mouth
of the Lena to Bennett Island and
return. His first experience in actual
warfare was during the Russo-Japan-
csc war, when he distinguished him
self in the defence Of Port Arthur
against the little brown men. During
the period between the war with
Japan and the present conflict he was
employed in the work of the general
staff of the Imperial Navy and in
command of torpedo boats. His sue
cesses in the last two years have been
numerous, and he has we'll merited
the promotion which makes him the
worlds "baby'' admiral. Vice-Ad-
n1iral Kolchak has advanced on merit
alone, as the high command of the
Cars navy have been brought to a
realization that this is no time to
play favorites.
