CITIZENSHIP LOST
AMERICAN WHO SERVED FOR
CANADA
(Received July 3, 10.15 a.m.)
MONTREAL, July 2.
A United States board of inquiry has ruled that Philip Stegerer, aged 26, of Washington, has forfeited his United States citizenship by joining the Canadian forces on active service, from which he was given an honourable discharge as medically unfit. The board refused to give permission to Stegerer to return to the United States. It is believed that the case is a precedent, by which hundreds of men may be deprived of their citizenship because they have sworn allegiance to the King.
