A NATURALIZATION DECIS-
ION.

The Attorney General of the United
States has decided the question Of
naturalization submitted TO him by
the Department of State. The facts
as briefly stated are: That Mr.. A.
Steinkvausler, a Prussian subject by
birth, emigrated to the United States
in lS4S, was naturalized in 1854,
when he returned to Germany taking
with him his son. thea aged four
years, born in the United States. The
question at issue is the son owing
military service to Germany. The
Attorney. General reviews at some
length the United States laws and
treaty with Germany on subject OF
naturalization, and also quotes recent
British legal opinions, aud comes to
the conclusion the boy has two
nationalities, one natural and the 9TH
er acquired. The father returning
to Germany and resuming his alle-
glance, the son partakes of the status
of the father. Being a minor and
having enjoyed the protection of the
German Government he, for the time
being, or until ofage, owes military
duty, the obligations being reciprocal,
but when the boy comes of age be
can return to the United States as an
American citizen with all the privi-
leges as such, and would even be ell
gible to the Presidency of the United
States.
