Twentyfour women, demure and

little groups of four each in quest OF
naturalization papers. They represent
the nursing force of St Mary's hospi,

the Franciscan Sisters.
Four OF the nuns appeared in OF.
tawa yesterday accompanied by Dr.
George K. Wilson. This morning with
the same escort another group were
taken before the clerk and there re.
nOunced their allegiance to Germa ~
to become citizens of America The
franciscan Sisters are all Of German
birth and the movement to become
naturalized is general thruout-the ord.
er In the U. $. A. The headquarters
OF the branch is at Springfield, where
mere than hundred have renounced
their Germany citizenship to become
full-fedged Americans. Those in 9TH
er cities are pursuing the same course.
Late this afternoon, as soon as they
are of duty, the remainder Of the
Streator order will come to Ottawa to
take the oath and sign their declara-
tion Of Intentions.
As they stood before the examining
clerk this morning the gentle eyed
nuns looked upon the occasion as q
novelty from their routine Of faithful
work in the cause of the sick and in
flrm, while their smiles radiated thru
out the office spreading their conta-
gi0n from one person to another as the
examinations were in progress.
Asked about their ages they replied
nnhesitatingly and spoke in exception
ally good English tho from their own
statements some of them had been in
this country for only few years.
Each gave the place of her birth, the
date of her departure from Germany
and the date of her arrival in America
In subdued voice. The papers were is.
