AMERICAN TRAVELLERS IN PRUssrA.
GErs m thu C0Io0na GaxatfA Anxn.4 ii


firm tho Cologne Gasette. August 81
For some time past travellers from the United
States have found themselves stopped at the Prus-
sian frontier because they are not provided with
passports, but simply with certificates from the To-
cal authorities, which are rot considered in Prussa
as sufficient. In the United States the government
alone is authorized to accord to the citizens of the
Union passports for foreign countri s. The govern
ments of the individual States have not any such
right; so that when an American citizen sets out TO
travel with passport signed merely by the Govern
or OF the State In which he resides he must not COM
plain at being refused entrance into the countries
which he desires to visit. But the central govern
ment delivers no passports unless to citizens born or
naturalized in the United States. Again, natural
izatOn cannot take place until after residence of
five years in America. There are consequently a
great number of grants tCh0 are not entitled to
0bfdln passports from tp.Anser;c0n administration
not being as get naturalized citizens of the United
States although they haze the title of citizen in the
STATE pitch they inhabit and chich title amy one can
obtain after sir months restdencc. In consequence
as many German emigrants In the United States
have severed the ties which united them to their for
mer country and as for that reason they cannot ap
ply 70 the ambassadors cOnsuls of the nation to
which they belonged formerly, they find themselves
greatly embarrassed when they want to travel on the
continent OF Europe on business or family affairs
These considerations have induced the Prussian gov
eminent to come to an understanding with that
or the United States, and 1t has been decided
between them that for the future such persons as
desire to proceed to Europe must ,py in writing to
the authorities of the district to which their bus
ness calls them, in order to obtain permission to
enter it.
