CITIZENSHIP OF MARRIED
WOMEN

The sudden cnfranchiacmcnt of
several million women has aroused
interest in the status Of married wo-
men in regard to citizenship. 1t Is a
rule of law, internationally a well
rs nationally, that the citizenship
Of n married woman follows that Of
her husband the two cannot
be citizens of different countries and
that the citizcnship of the husband
governs. In obedience to that rule
woman, although she may have been
born on American soil of American
parents, and has exercised all the
rights of American citizenship for
years, becomes citizen of England
the moment that she marries citi-
zen of that country although the mar
riage is performed in this country and
both she and her husband continue to
reside here. And the same thing is
true should she marry citizen of any
other countryside automatically be-
comes q citizen of the country of her
husband and loses her rights as an
American citizen.
Some of the recently enfranchised
suffragettes are agitating for an
amendment to the laws of this country
which will permit a woman to retain
her citizenship although married to an
ALLEN. They are not meeting with
much encouragement in their efforts;
the general consensus of Opinoin
seeming to be that with all the eligi-
bic Americans there are lying around
unattached, a woman who marrics the
citizen of some other nationality is
deserving of scant sympathy. And
that is not far from right. The in
evitable confusion which would result
from the abrogation of that rule. es-
pecially as it affects international
matters, would more than Offset the
advantage to the few women who
would be permitted to vote but who
are now denied the exercise Of that
right.
In many of the states persons who
are not citizens of the United States
are permitted to vote provided that
they have declared their intention to
become citizens; and it would seem
that law could be passed permitting
women who possessed all the other
qualifications of citizenship should be
permitted to vote, even while legally
the citizens of other countries, as is
the man of foreign birth who has
merely declared his intention to be-
come a citizen of this country.

STATUS OF WOMEN At
GEORGIA POLLS IN DOUR-

ATLANTA, Ca. Nov. 2. - Whether
Georgia women would vote in today's
general election remained an open
question last night with the possibility
according to state capital officials
that it might be decided by each pre-
cinct for itself, opening the way for
much litigation.
Georgia law requires legislation at
least six months before an election
but r. A. Denny. state attorney-gen
eral, has ruled that the nineteenth
amendment conferred suffrage or
women regardless of Georgia rules. II
was said managers of some precincts
might act on this and permit women
to vote while others might reject the
ballots.
Many leading suffra gists have urged
women to vote, while some women S
organizations opposed to suffrage
have urged them to stay away from
the polls.

it is equally important with national

long has been a subject of conversa-
ton between th1 Japanese ambassador
to Washington and the department.
The fact that it was issued on the eve

voted upon is declared by state de-
partment officials to have no political
significance.

purpose was to give to the people OF
Japan the idea that the American gov
eminent would see to it that their
legitimate interests would be safe
guarded and would continue to have
the consideration to which they were
entitled.
Reassurances have been given to
the Japanese amba ssador by the state
