The Macon Telegraph follows with: Subjects of Japan. Serbia. and Italy are absolutely exempt front milltary srrvtce for this Governinent. according to a State Depariment memorandum summarized by a New York World correspondent. " tiecause treaties between the United States and these countries specifically provide that nationals of the contracting parties shall not hetaken for military service against their will." Aliens from other friendly countries may. howeve. be drafted if they have taken out their first papers. announcing their intention to secure American citizenship. This writer learns that most of the allied governments would be willing to have their nationals drafted here or deported to their homes. This law is not an imposition that I suggest here today . we have not to become apologists to enact the same. We are not asking anyone for anything.
