In its issue of February 19th, the
N'enana News printed an article giv
ing the details of the first case in
Alaska of the naturalization of an
alien under the special act of
May, 1918.
The man who became a natural
ized citizen under the special act
was Bertram McDonald, a native
of Quebec. Canada, who is now
serving with the Signal Corps de
tachment at Salcha.
The special act, under which an
alien serving in the army or navy
of the United States, can become
a naturalized American citizen, with
out the formalities required by the
naturalization act. is as follows:
Extracts from House Resolution
3132, 65th Congress, approved May
9. 1918. entitued "An Act to amend
the naturalization laws and to re
peal certain sections of the Revised
Statutes of the United States and
other laws relating to naturalization,
and for other purposes:
Any alien serving: m the military
or naval service of the United States
during the time this cour.tr>' is en
gaged in the present war may file
his petition for naturalization with
out making the preliminary de
claration of intention and without
proof of the required five years
residence within the United States.
“The honorable discharge cer
tificate of such alien or person ow
ing permanent allegiance to the
United States, or the certificate of
. service showing good conduct, signed
; by a duly authorized officer, or
j by the master of said vessels, shall
; be deemed prima facia evidence to
satisfy all of the requirements of
residence within the United States
and within the state, territory or
District of Columbia, and good moral
; character required by law, when
supported by the affidavits of two
witnesses, citizens of the United
States, identifying the applicant as
the person named in the certificate
or honorable discharge, and in those
cases only when the alien is actu
ally in the military or naval service
of the United States, the certificate
of arrival shall not be filed with
the petition for naturalization in the
manner prescribed; and any petition
for naturalization filed under the
provisions of this subdivision may
be heard immediately, notwithstand
ing the law prohibits the hearing
of a petition for natal/ ization dur
ing thirty days preceding any elec
tion in the jurisdiction of the court.
“During the time when the United
States is at war no clerk of a
United ‘States court shall charge or
collect a naturalization iee from
an alien in the military service of
the United States for filing his peti
’tion or issuing the certificate of
naturalization upon admission to
■citizenship, and no clerk of any
state court shall charge or collect
I any fee for this service unless the
laws of the state require such charge
be made, in which case nothing
more than the portion of the fee
required to he paid to the state
shall be charged or collected.
“No alien, who is a native citizen,
subject or denizen of any country,
state or sovereignty with which thi
United States is at war shall be ad
mitted to become a citizen of the
United States unices he made his
declaration of intention not less than
two nor more than seven years
prior to the existence of the state
of war, or was at that time entitled
to become a citizen of the United
i States, without making a declaration
of intention or unless his petition
! for naturalization shall then be
pending and is otherwise entitled
to admission, notwithstanding he
shall be an alien enemy at the time
| and in the manner prescribed by the
laws passed upon that subject.
“That any person who is serving
! in the military or naval forces of
the United States at the termina
tion of the existing war, and any
: person who before the termination
j of the existing war may have been
I honorably discharged from the • mili
■ tary or naval services of the United
States on account of disability in
curred in line of duty, shall, if he
applies to the proper court for ad-’
mission as a citizen of the United
States, be relieved from the necessity
of proving that immediately pre
ceding the date of his application
he has resided continuously within
the United States the time required
by law of other aliens, or within
the state, territory, or the District
of Columbia for the year imme
diately preceding the date of his
petition for naturalization, but his
petition for naturalization shall be
supported by the affidavits of two
credible witnesses, citizens of the
United States, identifying the peti
tioner as the person namH in the
certificate of honorable discharge,
which said certificate may be ac
cepted as evidence of good moral
charcater required by law, and he
shall comply with the other require
ments of the naturalization law.
“Provided, that as to all aliens
who, prior to January 1, 1900.
served in the armies of the United
States and were honorably dis
charged therefrom, Section 2106 of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States shall be and remain in full
force and effect, anything in this
act to the contrary notwithstand
ing.”
Dr. F. de la Vergne. assistant
surgeon of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission, has sent ;n his r Ag
nation. to take effect on March 13.
The doctor has decided to settle
in private practice in Fairbanks,
and will go to the upper town
shortly after his resignation be
comes effective.
Dr. More, chief surgeon of the
A. E C. Xenana hospital, stated
last night that a successor to Dr.
de la Vergne would be appointed
but that no selection has been made
so far. He thinks the new surgeon
will arrive on one of the first boats,
in the spring.
Dr. de la Vergne joined the hos
pital staff in Xenana on June 25th
of last year, coming in from the
Outside. He had previously been
in the army medical corps, with the
rank of captain, and had made five
round trips across the Atlantic on
the troop convoys, during which
