NEW YoRK, Sept. -.
The difficulty arising out Of the arrest of
Prussian, who has become an American citi-
zen, for the non performance Of the military
service required by the Prussian laws con-
tinues to excite attention in that country.
The Government organ declares that the Con-
stitution imperatively requires every subject
of Prussia to perform military duty, and can
not be altered at the pleasure of the execu
tive authorities. Assuming this statement to
be correct, the only wayto relieve naturalized
American citizens from the obligations which
they are considered to be under towards the
land of their birth, would be the conclusion
of treaty between the United States and
Prussia. Prussian subjects have generally
been released from the compulsory military
service to which they are subjected, but only
after great deal of trouble and out of spe
eial regard for the United States Government
on It's representations, and not in virtue of
their right as American citizens.
The Herald Berlin correspondent believes
that if a convention to this effect were sub
mitted to the. Russian legislature, it would
be passed by an immense majority, as the
Liberal party are extremely deairous Of being
on good terms with the great trans Atlantic
Republic.
