The Attorney General has decided the
question of the nationality and naturali-
cation submitted by the Department of
State. The facts are that Mr.. A. Stein

immigrated to the United States in 1S4s,
and was naturalized in st. Louis in
1854. When he returned to Germany,
he took his son, then four years old,
born in the United States. The son is
now twenty years old. Tho question at
| issue arose as to the son owing military
service to Germany. The Attorney
| General comes to the conclusion that the
boy has two nationalities-one matured
and the other acquired. The father re-
turning to Germany and resuming ALE
| gience, the son partakes of the status OF
| the father, being minor and having
sought the protection of the German
Government for the time being or till OF
age, owes military duty TO that Govern
mert. But when the boy becomes of
age, he can return to the United States
as citizen, with all the rights and priv
ileges as such, and would be ellgiole
even to the Presidency of the United
States.
