marries a foreign born man, she becomes an alien subject of the country

of which her husband is a subject

Also, that if a foreign bora woman " marrW a native born man, she be-

.ritixen of the United States

Tho act of marriage confers upon her

the right of citizenship. ctn.hnrv'i Rulina in 1918.

"In the year 1918, the question of the right of subjects of Germany and Austria to vote was considered by the attorney general of the state of Indiana, Ele Stansbury, and the state hnoci nf oiofttrm commissioners, and

iholr nninlnn la as follows:

"In compliance with the request that we furnish an opinion on the right of an alien enemy who has declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States, to vote at the coming Olectlon in the state of Indiana, we

herewith submit the following opinion: "The right of suffrage in the state of Indiana is derived from Sec. 2, of Art. 2 of the constitution of the state of Indiana, which provides: " 'That every male citizen of the United States of the age of 21 years and upward and every male of foreign birth 21 years old and upward, who shall have resided in this state six months and in the township sixty days and in the ward or precinct thirty days, immediately preceding such election, end shall have declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States, shall be entitled to vote in the township or precinct where he may reside.' . "We are, therefore, of the opinion that no foreign born citizen who is a subject of any country with which the United States is now at war can legally exercise the right of suffrage and vote at the coming election in Indiana, whether he has declared his intention to become a citizen or not. U. S. Still at War. "The United States declared war with Germany and Austria. The subjects of Germany and Austria became aHen enemies, and, as such, forfeited all rights to participate in the affairs of the United States, and as such, in accordance with the above opinion issued in 1918, it is our opinion that the subjects of Germany and Austria can rot vote at this election, for there has been no treaty of peace signed between the United States, Germany and Austria. A state of war still exists at this time between the United States and Germany and Austria.

The following persons can not vote at this election to-wit: FirstSubjects of Germany and Austria. Second Subjects of Germany and Austria who have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States.

real, red-blooded action to set tne pulses throbbing.

The third hour was of the younger son, Luke, of an overactive temperament, who had run away from homo at nineteen. Most people would call him, offhand, the Black Sheep. His adventures had carried him pretty well around the world and he had a real, and true, heart in him all the time. He,

too, had married a woman of the South, of the middle class, who had all the sheer courage which carried lite women of the Confederacy through the gruelling days of internicine strife. And his restlessness had carried him away. "The Hushed Hour" will show at he Murray the first half. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE.
