State Department Disavows
Action of Attaches In Russia

Washington, Dec. Sit was Off
cially declared today at the State de-
partment that both Lieutenant Col
onel Judson, head OF the American
military mission in Russia, and Major
M. c. Kerth. temporary military at
tache at the embassy, acted without
instructions from this government in
presenting communications to the
Bolsheviki government on the atti-
tude of the United States in the Ell
fort to effect separate peace and
armistice with Germany.
Major Kerth's communication was,
protest to the Russian commander
in-chief against an arnistice. Colo
mel Judson's communication was
couched In more ienient terms. The
discrepancies between the two nys-
tilted the officials and it was not made
clear until today that the action OF the
two officers, taken in view of eircum-
stances, was not on instructions from

AUSTRIA ALIENS
TO Be CITIZENS
War Declaration Will Necessi.
tate Action by Congress to
Afford Protection to Thou
sands in Army.

Washington, Dee. 6.-The statu
of several thousands of Poles. Hun
garians, Bohcmians and others owing
allegiance to Austria Hungary who
are serving in the American military
forces, furnished an embarrassing
complication to the preparations OF
the United States for declaration
of war with the dual empire.
The problem is being discussed by
Secretaries Lansing and Baker and
congressional leaders with view to
legislative action. t
Upon passage of the war resolu-
ton by congress the Austro- Hun
garian subjects would technically be-
come enemy aliens, ineligible TO-
service with the American colors. Al
so. under strict construction of inter
national law il they remained i'll
American uniforms and were cap
tuted while bearing arms against the
nation to which they legally owe
allegiance they might be subject to
execution for treason.
To Protect Soldiers.
Legislation either to confer Amer
ican citizenship en- block or by name,
or to except these men by special
statute from statutes dealing with
civilian enemy aliens is being consid-
cred. :..a ...,.s...
An obstacle to general action has,
been found in the objection Of army
commanders to the presence in their
ranks of any men whose loyalty may
in the slightest degree be questionable,
but some means will be found to
guard against throwing out OF the
service thousands of good loyal SOL
diers.
The fact that Austrian subjects resi-
dent in the United States become en-
emy aliens under the declaration OF
war will make no change in their
status as employees. in many of the
large industries working on govern
ment orders. II Is believed few will
be discharged. A declaration of war,
it is held. changes their status but
little.

Papers Granted Here.

Although war has not yet been de-
clared against Austria, President Will
sons message has apparentl" put u
stop to the many Austrian subjects
seeking first papers Of the Douglas
county Naturalization board. There
were no applications by Austrians for
the preliminary naturalization papers,
Tuesday or Wednesday. in spite Of the
fact that they may soon be branded as
allen enemies" . s....
In anticipation of declaration OF
war, during the last two weeks, II is.
said that packing house employers
have been urging their reliable Aus
trian employees to take out first papers.
Miss Grove, i'll charge of the ma
turalization Office, says that the num-
Der OF Austrians seeking citizenship

delivery of the presidents message.
was greater than that of any other
nationality. .. e
The packing houses are particular :
anxious to have trusted employees OF
Austrian birth naturalized before they
are declared alien enemies. as those
in the latter class are not permitted to
work on government contracts.
