WILL ASK THE ALLIES
TO EXCHANGE NATIONALS
Who Are OF Military Ase-None To
ee Compelled to Serve Except in
Own Armies.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Negotiations
with The allies for drafting their citi-
zens into the new national army will
be entered INTO Immediately by the
the resolution recently passd by the
Senate This win require revision Of
treaties in the case of Italy and ia
pan and a common understanding
with the other nations involved.
If the United States asserts the
right to draft aliens here, the allied
governments may insist on military
service for American residents among
them TC avoid having Americans en-
rolled compulsorily into foreign arm
les, some sort Of exchange system may
be evolved similar to that in opera
ton between England. France and
Russia. Under this plan Americans
abroad liable to military Service
would be returned to this country,
while aliens here would be sent to
their home armies.
The House immigration committee
today favorably reported bill under
which aliens may either voluntarily
submit to the draft or forfeit their
rights to American citizenship and
De deported. It is pointed out that
from all over the country there comes
the cry q the rank injustice of fore
ing American citizenship into the war
while alien sackers are here in vast
numbers enjoying the peaceful privi-
leges Of our country and immunity
from fighting for the very integrity
! of their own country.
