naval service ia not asked to tako ar
oath; he has only, under the present
circumstances, to pledge himself te
serve while the war lasts.
Aliens are not admitted to the mill
tary or naval service in Greece. The
same is the rule in Portugal, Japan and
In most Of the South and Central Amer
lean States. An alien entering the Ser
bian army must take an oath Of fidelity
to his superlors and OF submission to
the military law, but he can obtain
Serbian citizenship only by a written
request.
The United States has. as Mr.. Meeker
says, gone "far ahead Of any other ma
tion in providing and caring for the
aliens who enter her military service.
The oath when taken by an allen does
not affect his citizenship. ut does not
make him a citizen in whole or In
part" In almost all other nations a
change in citizenship deprlves him of
his rights TO a pension. Judge Adyo-
cate General Il. II. Crowder holds, how
ever, that in the United States per-
son who has become entitled to a
pension has become so by reason OF
service and not by reason OF cltlzeh-
ship, whence II seems necessary to
conclude that change Of citizenship
cannot affect the pension"
The laws regarding the status OF the
alien soldier were not made to meet
conditions that Will likely exist after
the war VIII there not be a necessity
for making changes in the provision re-
gardlng pensions so that the man who
eventually returns from the land OF his
service to the land OF his citizenship
and the land where he left his family
may enjoy the benefits OF these govern
mental concessions? VIII there not
also be changes necessary in the matter
OF citizenship in some OF the Allied ma
tlons? There are considerations which
Mr.. Meeker believes should enter into
the final adjustment Of the relations
between this Government and the Gov
ernments Of other nations that have
fought in a common cause.

THE ALIEN SOLDIER
From the New York sun.

The status OF the alien soldier be-
came matter of considerable import
ance when at the time the United
States entered the war It was discover
ed that between 10000 and 10000 Ameri-
cans had Joined the armies Of England,
Canada and France, and that those who
had taken the oath OF allegiance to
the British Crown had lost their Ameri-
can citizenship. Special legislation has
been enacted to repatriate these men.
There are, however, complications like
ly TO arise from the application Of the
present laws. One OF these. Repre-
sentative Jacob p. Meeker, Of Missouri,
suggested In a recent address before
tho House. In an allen who. leaving
his family I'm the United States. has
Joined the forces OF one Of our CO.
belligerents Is wounded there and
comes back, Mr.. Meeker says that
under our present law he cannot be
admitted to the United States, because
he might become a public charge"
The complications which might arise
and the injustice that might result to
men struggling in the same cause led
TO an investigation regarding the effect
upon their rights and citizenship of the
entrance OF aliens In the armies Of DIFF
ferent nations. Practically no two ma
tions have the same system Of taking
aliens into their service or the same
rule for providing for the men after
they have finished their military ser
vice.
The oath Of enlistment in the Brit
ish army is that the soldier will be
faithful and bear true allegiance" to
the British Crown. In Italy only Italian
citizens have the privilege Of serving
in the Italian army or navy, and they
are therefore requested to take the
oath of allegiance. Aliens may volun-
teer for service only If they were born
i'm the Italian kingdom or II they were
born OF parents having resided there
at least ten years at the time Of their
birth. By so doing they acquire Ital-
ian citizenship. In France, however,

BUFFALO, Aug. 3.-American pro
duction Of a new, fast, and thoroughly
up-to-date model Of fighting plane, thai
has been tested on the battle fronts
and found to beat anything the Ger
bans have produced has begun
This is the new rs. E.-5' type, whose
production by the Curtiss Aeroplane
Works here has been ordered by the
Aircraft Production Board to take the
place Of the Inflated Bristol" that was
found TO be useless and scrapped.
The s. E.-5 is a battle plane, and has
passed the experimental stage. It's pro-
duction will be rushed through on the
basis Of what is in fact a Chinese
copy"
This model is a British plane, per-
fected by Major General Brancker,
head Of the equipment division Of the
British war ministry, and Sir Henry
Fowler, the man who reorganlzed the
Royal Aircraft factory Of England. The
Royal Aircraft factory is the mother OF
the S. E.-5. 1t has given exceptional
service, and an exceptional account OF
itself on the fighting front Abroad il
was equipped with the ROlls-Royce and
the Sunbeam motor. Here it Will take

This type Of fighting plane was con-
structed to take a high-powered mot
or like the Liberty" 435 horse pow
er.) In this respect it differs from the
Bristol, which proved a failure when
powered with the Liberty, because it
was designed to take an engine Of only
i25 horsepower.
The 5. E-5 was designed in advance
Of the production Of a motor OF 435
horsepower. But the Liberty motor
was designed in time TO use with such
a model
In the same way the British Royal
Aircraft factory is now at work on a
still newer lighting plane, to be fitted
with motor Of as yet unknown horse
power, but which must be as high as
500. Nobody has yet designed such a
motor; and perhaps it cannot be pro-
duced, but England proposes to have
a type Of plane that can use it.
The 5. E.-5 was developed in the
same way in advance OF the designing
and perfection Of the Liberty motor.
The Curtlss plant departments, which
were devoted TO the Bristol experiment.
have all been cleaned out; all the
"small-part" factories are busy grind
ing out small parts Of wood and metal
for the new 5. E.-5. The first part OF
the assembly wOrk-that of the fuse
lage-will begin in few days; the be-
