15O SOLDIERS
OF HUMPHREYS
MADE CITIZENS
Took Oath Under Act. ol
May 9. 1918, to Cut
Red Tape.

Approximately l5o alien soldiers from
Camp Humphries, Va, took the oath
Of allegiance to Uncle Sam yesterday
under the provisions OF the amend
atory Act OF May .. 1918, and became
full-fedged citizens of the United
States.
Although not naturalized previously.
they had enlisted in the military serv-
Ice of this government At the sug-
gestion OF President Wilson. Congress
enacted law to cover such cases.
and avoided the necessity for red
tape procedure under the regular
naturalization laws.
The only requirement now for an
alien soldier to become an American
citizen under the terms Of the law
In question Is for his commanding
officer to certify 70 his loyalty and
good moral character. and he there
upon becomes entitled to citizenship
papers.
About $4,000 enlisted men are thus
affected throughout the country, anu
all obstacles standing in the way Of
their becoming citizens Of the United
States in reality. as they are in spirit
are being removed as rapidly as pos
sible.
Fully 100 have become citizens
through the agency OF the courts Of
this city. Practically every national
ity Is involved in the proceedings,
even to the extent OF those bound by
kindred ties to our foes in this war,
as it appears that the fathers of some
of the enlisted men, while loyal to
America. neglected TO take out their
citizenship papers. hence their sons
have been placed in the restricted
class.
In this way. the American army
will be made up Of the most demo-
cratic force on earth. because there
is not a nation in existence that Is
not represented in its ranks.
As fast as their papers are made
out, the enlisted men appear before
Edwin J. Mckee. deputy clerk Of the
District Court. where they take the
oath of allegiance and automatically
become citizens in the manner de-
scribed.
