To Help Patriots Get Work
THOUSANDS of civilian war workers

THE THOUSANDS of civilian war workers in
the government service who will soon be dis
missed because their services are no longer
needed will he assisted in finding unemployment
through plans now being arranged by the United
States Civil Service Commission.
On the recommendation of the Civil Service
Commission the president issued ON November 20
an executive order which provides that the names
of persons in the competitive classified civil service
with unrestricted status who were appointed either
permanently or PROBATIONARY prior To the date OF
the order. who have served less than three years,
who are separated from the service because of a
reduction of force, and who are II commended for
further employment by the government because of
demonstrated efficiency IN the office from which
they are separated will, upon request, be entered
Nv the Civil Service Commission upon appropriate
eligible registers for rcappontmcnt. eligibility there
on TO continue for one year from the date of sepa-
ration. The unemployment registers thus establish
ed will be used so far as is practicable for filling
positions in the government service.
Il is expected, however, that there will be a
surplus of eligibles ON these unemployment registers,
and in order that those who cannot he replaced in
the government service may find positions IN private
employ, the Civil Service Commission has asked the
cooperation of the Department Of Labor in the
work cf finding suitable employment in private
establishments for dismissed war workers who can
moi be further employed by the government.
II is the view of the Civil Service Commission
that the machinery of the government should be
used to the fullest extent IN finding employment for
the war workers for il is realized that a considerable
number of them entered the government service at
some personal sacrifice 10 help with the war pro
gram.

NATURALIZED CITIZENS WHO WERE DlSLOYAL TO
AMERICA DURING THE WAR MOULD LOSE PAPERS

q TEPs have just been taken by the Us, Natural
ization Service in Denver to cancel certificates
of citizenship of naturalized aliens who have
been disloyal 10 the United States during the war.
The Denver district includes the states Of Colorado.
Idaho. New Mexico. Utah and Wyoming. United
States attorneys for these states have been asked
10 furnish the names of naturalized Americans who
have been tried and convicted of espionage, resist
ing the draft. opposition 10 war measures of the
United States, or other violations Of similar laws.
I'VE have already been informed Of one nat
urnlizcd citizen in Wyoming who was so pro-German
during the war that we will proceed 10 have his
citizenship cancelled in court, y says Paul Arm
strong, chief Of the Denver district of the Natural
ization Service. Unofficial information has been
received that there are several others in the states
in this district.
I'm addition to the naturalized citizens, there
are scores of aliens. some of whom have filed dccla-
rations of intention of becoming citizens of the
TIatcd States, who have been found To be very anti
American during the war. In one instance. about u
score of Austrians from leadvillc were sent to
prison for their anti.drafi activities. Smaller mum.
bers have been removed from civil life in other
places. As 10 these, steps will be taken TO make sure

Citizenship in the United States is considered
in an altogether new light these days. This is one
of the beneficial results of the war. Questions are
being submitted TO newspapers, attorneys. Judges,
and others by men and women who have paid little
