RUSH FOR PAPERS
 DUE TO OLD LAW
Alien Cannat be Admitted if United States is azlAHar With His Country

One of the reasons for the rush ot aliens to take out first papers in the past three weeks is due to federal law Of 1913, still in force, which reads as follows:
 No alien who is a native citizen or subject, or denizen of any country, state or sovereignty with which the United States are at war at the time of his application. shall be then admit ted to become d citizen of the United States"
 It is not difficult matter to be- come naturalized citizen of the Unit ed States, but there are several simple rules and regulations which have to be complied with. People of the white race Africans and those of African descent. can be- come naturalized citizens of the Unit ed States. This does nots allow the naturalization of Japanese and Chi nese, they being of the Mongoiian race. A decision was rendered at Washing ton some years ago that the Thrks were of the white race.
 An alien is reqhired to reside five years in this country and one year in the state before he can be admitted to citizenship, and get his second papers. Many persons do not apply for their first papers until they have been sew eral years in the country. Then they must wait two years before getting the second papers. no matter if they
 
 more even when they get their first papers. The first papers must be used within seven years of the time of their issue in applying for second papers, or the first papers become invalid and the alien has to begin again with his dec laration of intention to become citi- zen, and wait two years before apply ing for second papers.
 The application for the second pa pers and full citizenship must be made at least three months before the day of naturalization. The petitioner then has to furnish the names of at least two witnesses who can go to the na- turalizatiOni. court with him three know he has lived in this country five years or more and is of good charac- ter. During the three months interim the naturalization examiner finds o1t how much the applicant knows of United States history and government, instructs along these lines and directs q study of the constitution. The appli- cant must be able to speak the Eng fish language when he applies for his second papers. his wife and minor children become citizens of the United States, autonnat- 3cally, but the children of 21 years and over are subjects of a foreign power until they become naturalized by their own initiative, or, in the case of females. marry an American.
 An alien woman who marries an American citizen becomes an Amer ican citizen automatically with the marriage, but an alien male who mar rfes an American woman does not be- come a citizen thereby.
 Children born of aliens in America are American citizens unless their par ents were merely travelling through the country. It Is also held that children born of Americans travelling in Flu

 Although held up at the port of New York twice, he was permitted to land after appealing to the courts. but not finding any available base in this country for operations against his former friend Gomez, he did not stay long. Whether he has been sailing the sea ever since is not gen. erally known. but the refusal of the authorities at Havana to allow him to land reminds one that he is a man without a country.

 Cipriano Castro. the story petrel of Venezuela, has just been denied a landing at Havana. Nearly nine years ago he left the presidency of his country in the hands of Juan Vim cente Gomez while he went to Europe to undergo an operation. The opera ton proved successful, but while he was absent he was not only suspend ed from the presidency, but to all intents and purposes exiled from his country.
 Undaunted, Castro then sailed from Bordeaux for~the West Indies, and 1t was supposed that he intended land ing somewhere in Venezuela, where unquestiona bly, he had many adher- ents, and once there he would prob ably have succeeded in turning the tables against his old friend Gomez and in sending him flying for his life from the presidential chair. He at- tempted to land at Trinidad, but was not allowed to do so by the British authorities. He then sailed for the

CONFUSING FIGURES.
Writer Calls Attention to Four Sepa
 rate Lists of Dead and Wounded in World War

rate Lists of Dead and Wounded in World War.
 To the Editor of the Herald:
 After three years intensive study of the French casualty list Rodger Babson the noted mathematician, has come to the conclusion that only one soldier in every thirty is killed in this war. This observation should bring to many hearts surcease. from sorrow. Yet, upon examination, other figures are found pertaining to the killed and wounded in the colossal struggle and they do not quite agree with the Babson estimate.
 From Washington, the number killed between August 1, 1914 and March 1917 is estimated at 4,441, 200, with missing and wounded at 5,163,- 900. Major General Hugh l.. Scott gives 3,522.327 killed and 1O,035, 300 missing and wounded between August 1, 1914 and July 31, 1917. Evidently MT. Babson is far too low. European statisticians give the German dead as 1,O32,SOO up to July 1, 1917, and the missing and wounded, 3,49O,5O7. The Germans however, are we'll known as "champs' of the Ananias club and would not hesitate to fool us with crooked casualty lists. Tn the Wash ington list as printed in the New York Sun, the dead of France number 87O,- 900 and those of Great Britain 205, 5,4OO.
 From these contradictory figures it is easily seen that the statisticians are up a. tree, and that we will have no authentic figures on the slaughter until the dogs of war have ceased to bark Then, in the aftermath of battle, we may get some real information.

Well I should say not! No sir, you must hang up nothing short of your trousers.

That is, if potatoes take a drop before Christmas But here I am babling on Christmas and soft soap. What I meant to say is: A gentleman acquaintance of mine said the other day "Mitch,'' why don't you get out a best seller?" I replied that when one has money what in the world does one care about "a best seller?'' Why not write for arts sake?" said I. Now, if you will pardon personal observa- ton I will say, that my humor is not only side splitting, thus taking the thought from the appendix, but it is not sailable for the reason that people do not know me.
