JAPANESE ENTER
PROTEST AGAINST
NEW MILITARY ACT
Oppose Recently Passed Laws
To Obligations of Foreign
Born Persons.

Washington, July l4.-Japanese in
the United States and Hawaii are
said in official dispatches received
here today to be making vigorous
protest against the application of
recently promulgated laws relative
TO military obligations of foreign
resident Japanese. The new laws
raised the military exemption age
OF Japanese living outside Japan,
China or Siberia to 81 years and re-
duced the time which Japanese sub
iects living outside the three countries
may spend in Japan without becom-
ing liable for military service from,
six months to one month.
The new laws do not affect Japa-
nese born in foreign countries who
renounce their allegiance to the en-
peror of Japan before reaching the
age Of II. Those failing to do so
however, present the problem OF
dual citizenship, as Japanese born
! i'll this country become American
subjects unless the citizenship is
formally denied. On account Of this
conflict and by reason of dissatisfac-
ton with the new Japanese law at
fecting citizenship, Japanese in the
| United States have sent to Toxic,
three representatives of the Asso-
c;ation of Japanese living in America
to obtain if possible relief from the
more stringent provisions of the new
laws.
