Czechoslovakia is at war. Nationals of Czecho¬ 
slovakia naturalized in the United States are 
not, upon their return to Czechoslovak terri¬ 
tory, prosecuted or punished for expatriation, 
or for having failed, prior to their naturaliza¬ 
tion, to answer summonses to military service 
which had been served upon them within a 
period of five years preceding their naturaliza¬ 
tion. If a national of Czechoslovakia who has 
been naturalized as a citizen of the United 
States shall renew his residence in Czecho¬ 
slovakia without the intent to return to the 
United States, he is held to have lost the 
nationality acquired by naturalization. The in¬ 
tent not to return may be held to exist when a 
person naturalized in the United States shall 
have resided , more than two years in Czecho¬ 
slovakia. 
With regard to persons born in the United 
States of Czechoslovak parents, officials of the 
Czechoslovak Ministry of National Defense have 
orally informed the American Consul General at 
Prague that American-born sons of Czechoslovak 
citizens may visit Czechoslovakia for six months 
without fear of being inducted into the Czecho¬ 
slovak Army and that if they remain beyond 
that time they should call immediately upon the 
District Office and submit a petition requesting 
their release from the Army rolls. 
A 
32. DENMARK. In November or December 
of the year in which the person liable to mili- 
19 
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 com¬ 
petent 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 Den¬ 
mark, be treated as a citizen of the United
