It's TO be deeply gretted that the German
Governments eyince so much tenacity on this
subject. It would be better, far better, for
them, considering the comparatively small
number Of their native Subjects who return to
their dominions after being naturalized in this
country, not to attempt to exact military SER
vice from them. They viii prove to be most
reluctant soldiers. Ifthey violate any law Of
their native country during their visit, they
are, of course, smenable Ike other American
citizens. 1t would be q sad misfortune it. for
the sake of an advantage so trifiing to such
Governments, they should involve themselves
in serious difficulty with country 50 desir-
Gus as we are of maintaining with them the
most friendly relations. 1t is fortunate that
serious difficulties Of this kind are mainly
confined to the German States, and especially
that the laws Of Great Britain do not author
lie anycompnlsory military service whatever.

the result was most astonishing. Three of
