CITIZENSHIP FOR SOLDIERS

Under authority of an act of Con-
gress, passed July 10Th, 1919, all
worthy honorably discharged soldiers,
who are aliens, may file their petition
and be natnralized, without paying a
fee, furnishing a declaration of in
tention or certificate of arrival. But
to obtain these special exemptions,
they must be examined by a natural
ization examiner before filing their
petition. When this is done and the
applicant found satisfactory, the petit
tion may be filed in any court with
out reference to the residence of the
applicant, and may be heard forthwith
without any notice being posted, as
is generally required. They must have
their honorable discharge and two
witnesses who are citizens who can
identify them as the person named
in the discharge. Such soldiers can
appear before any court at any citi-
zenship hearing and have their cases
heard. AS the force of examiners is
small it will expedite matters If this
is done. rather than to try and ar
range a special hearing at such dates
as may be possible for the examiners
to attend. The circuit Judge and the
federal examiner will be in Brookings
October 9Th and all soldiers desiring
to take advantage Of this new ruling
can do so at that time, by applying
at the Office of the Clerk of Courts,
at the Court House in Brookings.
