NATIVE OF WASHINGTON
CLASSED FALLEN ENEMY
Oswald Lehman, Unless Specially
Excepted, Unable to Become Nat
uralized Before Peace Declaration.

Oswald Lehman. twenty-five years
old, who was born in Washington and
lived here all his life, finds today that
he is an allen enemy" and under
the naturalization laws cannot be
admitted to citizenship until peace is
declared or the Department of Jus
tics makes an exception in his favor
Lehman has applied for his second
papers and will be called before the
court in June for action on his ap-
pIication, 1T is stated.
This extraordinary tangle as to cit
izenship was brought about by the
fact that Lehmann's parents were en-
ployed by the German government
and were residing within the German
embassy building when the boy was
born. Although. it is said, an Ameri-
can flag draped the wall of his moth
ers room at the time of the birth,
the District Supreme Court has de-
cided that as the embassy property
belonged to the imperial German gov
ernment it was soil of Germany"
and the boy born there became a
German subject.
AS soon as war was declared Leh-
mann filed his intention to become
an American citizen and is still de-
termined, he says, to overcome all
obstacles in the way.

Refined, Delicate Skin

by thoroughly cleansing the pores,

purpose there's nothing better than
the mercolized wax process The wax
completely absorbs, the rough, muddy

superseding other treatments for
coarse. pimply. yellow. freckled or
blotchy skin. It is applied at night
liks cold cream and washed of next
