Will Bar Aliens From
Being U. S. Citizens
Aliens Who Claimed Exemption From
Draft Will not Become Citizens
States u. S. Examiner

The Local Boand is in receipt of
letter from Robert S. Coleman of
st. Paul, chief naturalization cxa.
miner for this district, wanting the
names of aliens within the draft
age, registered in Sioux county,
who claimed deferred classificati. n
or exemption from military service
on the ground of not being full
citizens of the United States.
MIR. Coleman says, 81 do not
feel that these persons who thus
failed our country in our time of
need are entitled to favorable con.
sideration in connection with their
application for citizenship, hence
my earnest desire to know their
names for future reference. ~
There were only few aliens in
Sioux county who made this claim.
Some Of them have their first pa
pers and have entered bom,esteads
on which they have not yet proved
up. Before they csn make final
proof il will be necessary for them
10 complete their naturalization,
or the land will revert back to the
government.
The rule made by the naturali-
zation chief is just and right. Ev-
eryone of tLe-s. men should forever
be denied American citizenship,
and he deporte'l from the country
at the earliest opportunity.

Sioux County Quota Is 5000
For Relief In The Near East
Edward 5. johnson is Sioux County Chairman
For North Dakota Committee for
Relief in the Near East

Edw. s. johnson Of Solen, has
been named chairman for Sioux
county for the North Dakota
branch Of the American Committee
for relief in the Near East, and
makes the following appeal: ~
1t has beer truthfully said BY
some Of the biggest men Of our ma
ton, that there should be no more
drives" for money, unless the
fund was for some specific purpose
and definitely set out in the 40.
peal for aid. We have sufficient
funds for aiding our army and ma
w through the last War Fund and
Red Cross drives.
There is one appeal that should
be heard by our people and that
appeal has the sanction of every
well meaning person who knows
the conditions existing. President
Wilson personally sanctioned the
appeal and has done what he could
to aid in fulfilling that appeal.
I refer to the appeal for aid now
being made for the Armenian, Sy-
rian and Greek refugees in the
Near East. Here we have ccn-
dition that never existed in the
history Of the human race. We
have read in the newspapers Of the
horrible condition of the poor peo.
pie who came under the rule Of the
Truk, how they were driven from
their homes and left q, perish III
the desert, or if that was too much
trouble for the Turks they simply
lined them up and shot them down.
These news items coming as they
did when the war was at its height,
we paid little attention to them.
However, now that we have time
to reflect these matters it is enough
to make any man with a sense of
or semblance Of pity in his makeup,
rise up and demand that tie per-
petrators Of such horrors should be
wiped from the face of the earth.
However, that would not save the
lives of those three million people
who have in some miraculous man.
ner come through the ordeal.
1t is to save those souls that this
appeal is made to the people Of
Sioux county who have never failed
in such an undertaking. These
people we are going to aid are max
ed and starving. Seven cents a
day will feed one of them q day or
five dollars month. The COM
mittee is asking America for $3O,.
100000 and the allotment for
