Naturalized Women Worked
For Our Enemies

Even after the termination Of the
marital relation, when the influence of
and duty to the husband have ceased.
the foreign woman who has been made
an American citizen by no act of her
own, but merely because she is the wife
OF an American or a naturalized Ameri-
can, retains her citizenship if she con-
tlnues to reside in the United States.
The only way she can throw it off is bv
going to a court with Jurisdiction to
naturalize aliens and there formally re-
nounce what she did not formally ac-
quire.
That an enormous amount Of the en-
envy propaganda work done in this coun-
try during the war was done by women
is we'll known fact. 1t would be in
teresting to know how many of them
felt no obligation whatever to this conn
try. though they were in it and had ac-
cess to every part of it, because they
were wives of Americans or of natural
lied Americans.
Never having pledged faith to this
country. the hearts of many remained
true to the land of their nativity. and
for it they served so far as they dared.
If any one believes we are to have
peace in perpetuity, then no change is
needed on this score. But woman does
not look under her bed expecting to find
burglar there merely to be sure no Is
not.

VI Marrying Citizens
By ROSE FALLS BRES
A ttOrney ut LaaU

HHERE are Americans by birth, by
Z naturalization and by marriage
If a woman of another country
marries an American citizen she thus
acquires citizenship along with his name
and certain rights in his property. 1t is
this last generous gift of place in the
protecting folds of Old Glory which
seems to need amendment in view Of the
admitted activities of foreign-born wom-
en- who lived in this country during the
war.
The citizenship of the husband extend
ing to the wife without her choice or
voice, it would seem that the men who
made the laws so to regulate matrimo-
NAL citizenship believed women held
faith IN "God and my husband and his
country instead of the supposed "God

that blind, self-effacing love alone actu-
ates women when they take the marital
obligation, or perhaps they held the opin-

been able to manage. But her sister,
who folds envelopes, is out of position
at present, and finds it difficult to get
another because of her age.
Its the young people they want now
adays," Mrs. O'Melia said; "but, even if
my sister does get work, she can do no
more than care for herself I'd only be
weight around her neck. That's why
I've been praying and praying that some
pension bill will be put up at Albany
and go through. Wouldn't you think
now that the women have the vote, that
they might take an interest? 1t would
be for the help of women and children.
Sure, there's many another like myself
and many that are worse off, with big
families of children to feed in these DAYS
of high prices"
There are many others like Mrs
OMelia in all parts of the city-widows
of men who daily risk life and limb to
preserve law and order in the commu-
nity-who are dependent upon the gem
crosby of the men in the various station
houses for their livelihood and that of
their children. In the Elizabeth Street
station with Mrs. O'Melia is Mrs. John
son, younger woman, who takes home
washing to help out with the support of
her two children.
The law as it stands is not Just, even
as reward for long service, for if a
man is nine years eleven months and
twenty-nine days in the service his
widow is not entitled to a pension.
A case of this kind is found in the old
Oak Street station under the shadow of
the Brooklyn Bridge, where Mrs. O'Con-
mel, whose husband had been nine years
and seven months on the force, is shar-
ing the work of bedmaking with Mrs.
Dusty, another dependent police widow
who has been at her post for twenty
years.
