se ts ee SLACKERS POS ~ ASENEMY ALIENS TO ESCAPE DRAFT facihacgiliniine Hundreds Falsely Claim Ger- man Birth, “Barred Zone” Permit Investigators Declare. Wvidence that eo-called “conscten- tious objectors” to military eervice are going to the limit of posing as Germans in order to avoid conscrip- tion has come to the attention of Fed- eral authorities here, Preliminary investigations by dep- uties under United States Marshal ‘Thomas D. McCarthy were sald to-day to Indicate that hundreds of weak- ‘need pacifists whose “conscientious- megs” ie not above perjury have cintmed German birth and applied for permits to enter “barred sones.” Armed with these permite, they would be able to represent them- selves as enemy aliens before con- scription boards and gain exemption from military service. In every in- stance where such deceptions have/ een uncovered the men were of an age subjecting them to conscription, able-bodied and without dependents. ‘Their only exouse for exemption from military service was that they were “gonscientious objectors” to killing 6. ‘The rapid tnerease in the number of enemy aliens applying for permits Goring the last week has aroused the suspicions of the Government officers im regard to the validity of hundreds, tf not several thousands of claims. When Attorney General Gregory pladed. armories and naval militia treining atations ‘within “barred zones” Marshal MoCarthy, after a survey, txtimated that there were be- tween 16,000 and 20,000 aliens eubd- Jeot-to the order, The number of ap- plicants for permits had crowded the 20,000 mark efore noon to-day and the Marshal now estimates that it will reach and possibly exceed 80,000 before June 1 when the order goes into effect, ‘With fifty extra deputy marshals at work it had been hoped that investi- gations of permit applications would be completed by June 10. Because of the necessity of covering much wider ground than at first expected the in- vestigations will not be completed un- til well into the summer. Nor will the granting of a permit for use in “barred sones” after June 1 imply that the holder bas satisfied the au- thorities as to the validity of his dlaim. If subsequent investigations disclose that the holder falsely repre- sented himself his permit will be re- voked. ‘These investigations will be tnto the birthplace of the applicant, the date of his arrival in America and as to whether he or bis father have een naturalized. The statement of tbe opplicant will be compared with tho reconis of the Immigration Bur- eau at Washington. A caso which came to the atten- tion of the Marshal to-day is typical @f the condition which the author!- ‘es believe to prevail in hundreds of instances. It was discovered that Frederic Kornits, employed as a waiter in a Broadway restaurant, had applied for a permit as an unnatural- ised German while in fact, he was born in New York City of German parents. Kornita gave his birthplace as Essen, Germany, and sald he came | to America when fifteen years old.| He is now twenty-four. ‘When taken before the Marshal to explain ‘his deception Kornitz pro- tested that as his parents are atill German subjects he also ts a German, He said his three brothers are in the German army and hie sister is a nurse in @ military hospital.
