31. CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Under the treaty of naturalization between the United States and Czechoslovakia it is provided that nationals of Czechoslovakia who have been or shall be naturalized in the territories of the United States shall be held by Czechoslovakia to have renounced their former nationality and to be nationals of the United States. The foregoing provision is not applicable during a time when Czechoslovakia is at war. Nationals of Czechoslovakia naturalized in the United States are not, upon their return to Czechoslovak territory, prosecuted or punished for expatriation, or for having failed, prior to their naturalization, to answer summonses to military service which had been served upon them within a period of five years preceding their naturalization. If a national of Czechoslovakia who has been naturalized as a citizen of the United States shall renew his residence in Czechoslovakia without the intent to return to the United States, he is held to have lost the nationality acquired by naturalization. The intent not to return may be held to exist when a person naturalized in the United States shall have resided more than two years in Czechoslovakia.

32. DENMARK. In November or December of the year in which the person liable to mili

tary service becomes 17 years old, he is expected to report for enrollment on the conscription lists. If he neglects to do so, he may be fined from 4 to 40 kroner; but if his neglect arises from a design to evade service he may be imprisoned.

Anyone leaving the country before he should be entered on the conscription list is expected, in case he returns before his thirty-second year and is yet subject to military service, to report for entry on the conscription list.

Anyone who, after having been entered on the conscription list or after having reported for entry on the list, leaves the country must, under penalty of fines of from 10 to 100 kroner, report his departure as well as his return to the competent official.

During the year when the person liable to military service attains the age of 20 he is bound to present himself before the board of examiners, and if he is found to be fit for service he is then entered on the army list and called for service the following year, unless he has obtained from the Minister of the Interior a deferment to one of the following years or unless, in consequence of a high number drawn by lot, he is exempted from military service.

In case he fails to appear when the law requires that he be assigned to military duty he is liable to imprisonment.

The treaty of naturalization between the United States and Denmark provides that a former subject of Denmark naturalized in the United States shall, upon his return to Denmark, be treated as a citizen of the United

States; but he is not thereby exempted from penalties for offenses committed against Danish law before his emigration. If he renews his residence in Denmark, with intent to remain, he is held to have renounced his American citizenship. The intent not to return may, under the treaty, be held to exist when the naturalized citizen shall have resided for two years in his native land.

A naturalized American citizen formerly a subject of Denmark, having renewed his residence in Denmark with intent to remain or having resided in that country for more than two years, is liable to perform military service in Denmark if he was in the army at the time of emigration and deserted; or, if before emigration he had been enrolled for duty, called and failed to appear; or, if after his return he is assigned to a military unit.

In time of peace the Minister of the Interior is authorized upon application to release from further service in the Danish Army or Navy such individuals subject to Danish military service as may procure proof that they have served in the army or navy of any of the belligerent nations during the years 1914 to 1918.

Under the naturalization treaty between the United States and Sweden and Norway, a naturalized citizen of the United States formerly a subject of Norway is recognized as an American citizen upon his return to the country of his origin. He is liable, however, to punishment for an offense against the laws of Norway committed before his emigration, saving always the limitations and remissions established by those laws. Emigration itself is not an offense, but nonfulfillment of military duty and desertion from a military force or ship are offenses 6plet
