That is my impression. but I iave not exatined the law for eight months. There are two things of which I alU sure. One is that under this bill tie period of time is not changed during which a seaman oi1 it merchant vessel is required to serve prior to attaining a right to naturalization. The other thing of which I am sure is that the main purpose of the bill is to provide uniforl conditions for the naturalization of aliens in the Ariiuy. the Navy. the Marine Corps. the RevenueCutter Service. and the merchant marine. 1 call attention to one exception in this bill. A soldier who served in the War of the Rebellion and was honorably discharged at the end of his service is allowed to secure citizenship. as formlerly. after one years service.
