D. WIR HERO GETS PAPERS E. Ii. 51EDLEY REINSTATED IN V. S. CITIZENSHIP. Man dishonorably Discharged From Marines Enlist in Canada and Is Cited for Bravery. , THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1921 As'siipimeiit When war was declared In 1917, E. L. Medley possessed the spirit of thousands of other American men. He wanted to go to war. He read the signs on the street corners "The First to Fight" and enlisted with the ma rines. Several months later he was in a general courtmartial and became an "example" as a warning to other men. He was dishonorably dis charged. This country lost trace of Medley. All other countries lost trace of the name E. L. Medley. He went' to Can ada, enlisted In the Canadian army under an assumed name. He did valiant service, was cited for bravery, and came out', of uniform and back .to civilian life' the possessor of an honorable discharge from a govern ment not his own. The discharge he had received from the marines had taken away his citizenship. Yesterday Medley appeared In the federal court of Judge Bean, where petitions for naturalization were be ing heard. He told his story with out hesitation, admitted his discharge from American service, but protested his loyalty. Witnesses substantiated his statements, and Medley is now reinstated as an American citizen. Of the 60 applicants for citizenship who passed before Judge Bean yes terday less than half were- accepted. Many of them could not show the necessary educational Qualifications, and were told to return to their homes, read American history, and acquaint themselves with the affairs of our government. Draft evaders were granted little leniency, and men who admitted under oath that they had been boot leggers were treated In a like manner. BONDS SUIT TO BE RUSHED JUDGE STAPLETON TO PASS ON MEASURE.
