This card, issued by the U.S. Marshall, District of Kansas, is similar to many issued during World War I to German Americans that had not yet attained U.S. citizenship. This card permits Charles Schock to pass through areas otherwise forbidden to anyone classified as a resident alien such as the area near the state house and fairgrounds in downtown Topeka, Kansas.
Date: 1918
This permit can be used in conjunction with other material on the experience of German Americans during World War I to help students understand the difficulties non-naturalized citizens faced during the conflict.
