Twenty-Five a Day Try
ing to Falsify as to
, Their Ages. . , j
United States - Naturalization Ex
aminer John M. Gurnett of St. Louts,
Mo., whq hat just arrived in the city,
states that many aliens in Omaha,
who are plainly within the conscript
law, are attempting to, and in some
cases actually have, , falsified as to
their ages in filing papers 'for citizen
ship within the ast two weeks with
a view to obtaining record evidence
in an effort to avoid registering and
the performance! military duty.
The examiner declares; 'that some
twenty-five such aliens are daily pre
senting themselves1 at the office of the
clerk of the, district court, who,' from
all appearances, are -within the ages
of 21 to 30, but' who maintain they
are either under or over the military
age. ! - t-.' - " .. -
To Take Drastic Action.
"In all cases where aliens of mili
tary age fail to register next Tuesday,
and also make false statements as to
their age in the filing of naturaliza
tion papers, drastic action will be
taken, i not only by the Department-of
Justice, but also by the bureau of
naturalization," said v Mr. ' Gurnett.
Aliens of conscript age who make
false statements as to their ages in
the filing of naturalization papers will
be proceeded against under the crim
inal provisions of the conscription
act, which carries , a penalty of one
year'a imprisonment, and also under
the naturalization act, which imposes
a fine of $5,000 and five years' im
prisonment." '' The examiner states further that
manv foreizn-born persons who have
.heretofore .been naturalized or filed
tneir nrst papers wnicn snow inem 10
be between the ages of 21 and 30 have
since the conscription act. became law
asked the clerk vi the court at Omaha
to permit them to change 1he record
as to their ages. This request is be
ing refused in alt cases, and the per
sona making them are warned thr.;
they must register.
Of the 7,192 aliens who have taken,
out first papers there are 586 Ger
mans, 1,037 Austrians, 492 Bohem
ians, 320 Hungarians, 1,099 Russians,
1,178 Italians, 103 Bulgarians, 27 Serb
ians, 212 Englishmen, 272 Poles and
