ALIENS IN kENOSHA
Police Start Big Work to
Aid tn Naturalization
Bureau in Making
New Citizens.
DIG INTO CITY RECORDS

Uncle Sam is not taking any chances
on making citizens of German and
Austrian born aliens in Kenosha and
in order that the government natural
ization agents may know just what
they are doing when they pass men
for citizenship the police department
this morning began the investigation
Of the records of between seventy five
and hundred men in Kenosha. Fol
the most part these men were born in
either Germany or Austria Hungary
and there are number of them who
made application for citizenship be,
fore the United States became part
of the world war. Many of these men
fled their declaration to be citizens
years ago and some of them have pro.
tested vigorously against the rule Of
the government which has denied them
the right to become citizens after re-
nouncing their allegiance to the Kaiser
and the Emperor.
The search Of the records Of these
people by the police department. will
be systematic one. Police records
will be investigated to see whether or
not the men have been arrested on
charges of sedition or on any other
charges. The police must report as to
whether or not they are regarded as
loyal to the United States in the
neighborhood in which they reside, if
all the members of their families are
loyal, if they have any relatives fight
ing in either the German or Austrian
army or in any other army now al
lied with the central powers. The
work of the police will not include an
examination of the men who have ap.
Piled for citizenship. Many Of these
men have filed statements with the
police department as alien enemies =
and these statements will be carefully
examined. Chief O'Hare has assigned
zone of his men to give his entire at
tention to this work during the next
few days and it is expected that final
reports on the records of the men will
be made late in the present month SO
that their applications for citizenship
may be considered at the fall natural
ization day Of the Circuit Court. Most
of the men are declared by the police
to have "clean records SO far as the
police statistics show.
