Naturalized Citizens

1t may come as somewhat of a shock to Ameri-
cans to learn that while the American law contem-
plates that naturazcd citizen is equal to person
born in this country, in rights duties. status and
privileges the laws Of some foreign countries from
whence these naturalized citizens originally came
40 not so contemplate and that through this dif-
ference many naturazed American citizens have
suffered great Inconvenience and hardship.
For instance, in France the law holds that French
born persons, regardless of naturalization else
where, remain subjects Of the French republic and
are required to do military service. Thus man
might live in the United States for ten years and
become naturalized citizen, return to France for
visit and be detained and forced to do a period Of
military service.
And this is not suppositon. Many Of these nat
uralized citizens have been required do that very
thing and, furthermore, the United States gov
eminent is powerless to take any action in these
eases
According to the department of state, this gov
eminent, while it "objects to the punishment of nat
uralized American citizens by fines, forced military
service imprisonment for any unperforrned mill
tary service which accrued after the entry of the
naturazed citizen into the United States, it can
give no assurance that any objections which it
makes will result in remission release, for
this country cannot properly protest against pun
lshment Tor any refractlon d foreign law commtted
prior to the naturalized Americans entry into the
United States"
Thus it is obvious that naturalization citizens of
the United States who from countries with
governments with which the United States has not
concluded naturalization treaties, should, before
visiting such countries, consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of
inquiring of the appropriate authorities whether
they will be immune from nolestaton in such coun-
tries under military service other laws Mean
while steps should be taken to conclude these treat
les so that American citizens may enforce the pro-
tecticn of their flag the world

IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen James,

Every physical property asso-
ciated with Lincoln is touched
with the wand of historic interest.
An instance of this is the crowd
that attended recently the auction
sale of the old stable in the rear
of 913 f Street, Washington,
where John Wilkes Booth hi'ched
his horse in anticipation of the
mad ride that followed the asses
sinatjon of the Civil War Pretsi-
dent.
This stable. a dilapidated, small
building, long has been govern
ment property. 1t was used as
a storeihouse by the War Depart
ment. At the last Congress its
sale was authorized. At auction
it brought the government S4,-
$50. Only a few bids we're of
fered, but the curious crowd that
was present to witness the event
was eloquent testimony of the
interest in Lincoln's life.
Around the corner from this old
stable is Ford's theatre, where the
Lincoln party went to be enter

eminent, since its site is valuable
real estate.
The most tragic drama even
enacted within the old theatre is
recalled by a copper plaque that
is fixed into its walls, reciting the
circumstances of Lincoln's death.
Across the street from the
theatre is the little red brick
house where the Emsncipator was
carried to die. For years this
house, instead of the theater, has
been the Mecca of the visitors to
the Capital. In this building Old
doyd assembled his famous col
lection of Lincoln papers, for
which the government recently
paid him $4,000. This sum rep
resents more than thirty years of
labor and devoted service spent
in collecting old prints and news
papers touching on Lincoln's
death. This collection probably
will be transferred to one of the
museums.
