NEW LAWS IMPEDE YOUNG ALIEN WIVES American Husbands Abroad Disturbed by Citizenship I Regulations of 1922. BY HIHAM. KELLY MODERWELL. By Cavle_to The Bt d the Chicago Dafly BERLIN, Germany, December 26. —Several thousand young Amerfcans who are-obliged to reside in Burope or adjmcent continente are polishing up their .48-caliber repeaters and lunting for the man who wrote the woman’s citizenship law of Septem- Ler, 1922, They include commercial agents, consular and diplomatic em- ployeg and, in general, all those young men who, because of the nature of their jobs, must regide sway from America for & period of years. It's a clnch,” eaid one such young Amerian, “that it a fellow s this country a couple of yea: geing to marry a girl from her: This particular young man wanted it Cle&l‘r understood that it was not that he loved American irls less. hut merely, as 1 Jatér gathered, that he loved a certain European girl more.

Under what laws she will inherit, what pro- cedure will be followed, which court will assume 'responsibilities in the matter—these guestions are quite un- clear, The position of the children of such & couple, if living abroad at the time of ‘their father's death, is even more confused. They, of course, are cit- izes of the United States, while their mother s a citizen of nothing. Wil the country in which they reside per- mit them as minor American citizens to live there indefinitely? Or should they go to the United States to live and leave their mother behind (for it might be -difficult or impossible for her to obtain permission even to visit America)? Wil the mother be able in practice to obtain any legal pro- teotion for them? Perhaps all these problems will find a workable solution, but there is little sign of It thus far. The foreign wife of an American does not receive a passport or anything equivalent. She can_obtain an _informal statement from some department of the govern- ment of the country’in which she lives that she was once a citizen of that country. She can obtain a cer- tificate from the local Amerlean con- THE EVENING. S'I‘AR 'WASHINGTON, OFFICERS DEMOTED FOR HONDA WRECK Capt. Watson Loses 150|voeu: Grade Points and Hunter Reduced 100 Numbers. Two naval officefs, with long records of meritorious service, must‘pay the penalty for the piling up on the rocks near Point Honda, Calif., In’ September of seven destroyers. Capt. Edward H. Watson, who was in charge of the squadron, goes to the foot of the list of captains, to remain wife to get a passport from her gov- ernment just before marriage, for, say, two years. The newlyweds then travel together on their indi- vidual passports as unmarried per- sons. If their passports are demanded at a hotel there must be explanations, if nothing more unpleasant. 1 f the woman desires to obtain I [ American: citizenship, as she invari- ably does, she must reside for one year in tae United States. This means either that her husband must go with her—throwing up his career and starting all_over at the bottom in something efse—or that she must go alone and reside away from her hus- band for a year. But even 80, it is not certain that she will be permitted to enter Amer- ica. For now comes the most amazing part of the whole business. According to @ departmental circular issued by Secretary Hughes in December, 1922, the allen wife of an American may enter America, whether accompanied by her husband or not, only as an ordinary immigrant. If the quota from her country happens to be full she is deported. The circular expressly states that immigration authorities until_he bu lost 150 EM numbers, and Lieut. Commander Donald T.
