That is a part of the reason for making this law uniform as to this particular as well as the length of term of service. Now. by reading the various statutes the gentleman will find that different proof along that very line that he inquires about was required of the applicants for naturalization who had been in these different lines of service. Now. briefly. I will call attention to it: Any alien of the age of 21 years and upward. who has "enlisted. or may enlist. in the Armies of the United States. either the Regular or the Volunteer forces. and has been or may be hereafter honorably discharged. shall be admitted to become a citizen of the United .tates upon hIls petition. without any previous declaration of his Intentiou to become such. and he shall not be required to prove more than one years residence within the United States previous to his application to become such citizen . and the court admitting such alien shall. in addition to such proof of residence and good moral character as now provided by law. be satisfied by competent proof of such person having been honorably discharged from the service of the United States.
