AAG HIS OE MAJ y n "A LAl4l4
CITIZENS.

The annexation Of many German
States to Prussia, and the reorganiza-
tiOn of that country under a new and
liberal Constitution have induced me
to renew the effort to obtain a just and
prompt settlement of a long vexed
question, concerning the claims of the
foreign states for the military service
from subjects naturalized in the United
States aud in connection with this sub
iect the attention of Congress is respect
fully called 20 a singular and an embar-
RAISING conflict of the laws.
The Executive Department Of this
Government has hitherto uniformly
held, as it now holds, that naturaliza-
ton in conformity with the ConstItu-
tion and laws of the United States alb
solves the recipient from his native al
legiance- The courts of Great Britain
hold that allegiance to the British
Crown is inde feasible, and is not absolv-
ed by our laws of naturalization the
British judges cite the courts and law
authorities Of the United States in sup
port of that theory, against the position
held by the executive authority Of the
United States.
This conflict perpleNes the public
mind concerning the rights Of natural
lied citizens, and impairs the national
authority abroad. I called attention 10
this subject in my last annual Message
and now again respectfully appeal to
Congress to declare the national viii
Enthusiastically upon this important
0uestiOn.
