much Of it's territory being occupied by
Entente troops, that she may not find
time 20 make any protest about a point
which is surely far less vital to her
national rights than many other things
going on nearer home.
While there are many thousands OF
former citizens of Norway and Sweden
in this country who have taken out
their first papers, but not their second,
the government is not expecting a pro-
test from these governments, because
these men virtually resigned their citi-
zenship abroad. Should protests be re-
ceived they will be taken up through
diplomatic channels.
Even with the drafting of first paper
men. however, the draft will work ad-
ritted hardships on Americans living
in such districts as the East Side of
New York Each Congressional dis
trict under the law, must furnish men
for the draft pro rata with population.
As pointed out in The Tribune last
Wednesday morning by Senator Calder
this phase Of the law will result in
almost every registered American IN
some districts being drafted. But IN
such districts the taking Of first paper
men will tremendously cut down the
number of full aedged Americans
taken, even though it will not reduce

Aliens with First
Papers May Be
Drafted for Army
rrrrm Ne rribune Bureau J

Washington. June 16.-While no for
mai decision has been reached, It is the
belief in the War Department that reg
iste-ed aliens who have taken out their
frst papers will be subjected 70 the Sc
lective draft just as though they were
native sons. II this policy Is carried
out thousands Of young foreigners on
the East Side Of New York and in other
big cities Will be taken for the army.
The War Department first intended TO
exempt these men.
The policy said 20 be guiding the Ad-
ministration in this decision is this:
The drafted man, if he happens 70 be
an alien who has taken out his first
papers, viii have no just complaint
himself. By his very act Of taking his
first PAPERS he has assumed an obligs-
ton TO this government. he only
legitimate objection would nave 20
come from the country Of which be was
a national. Most Of the countries from
which such protests might be expected
normally are IN two classes. ETHER
they are sighting the Allies OF the
United States. such as Germany, Aus
tria. Bulgaria and Turkey, or they are
fighting on the side Of the United
States. No attention. naturally. would
be paid to protests from the Central
Powers. All treaties with those ma
tons are suspended. No protest IS ex-
pected from any ally Of the United
States. since the normal assumption IS
that such nation would be glad %
have its nationals lighting IN the
United States army if they do not wish
70 enlist in their native country's army
One country which has thousands OF
nationals in New York and other big
cities. which is in neither of these elias
sifcations, however is Greece. W nat
position the new government Of that
country would take on this question
cannot be forecasted. but It IS possible
that the new government has so many
difficulties on its hands at present, with
