those afflicted with Consumption.

If this country ever gets involved in war
with Germany the cause will unquestionably
be the exasperating pretensious of that gov
eminent in relation to German-American cit
liens and TO Americans of German parentage.
The case of the two BOOKSELLER young men,
which has Just been adjusted i'll consequence
of the persistency of the state department. is
but one instance of many that might be Civ
en- of the extent of the German demand.
These men were born in st. Louis, their
father having been naturalized some years
previous to that event While in their mi
nority they spent several years in Germany,
but IN no way signiied their intention Of be
coming citizens of that country. For several
years past they have, however, received no
tees from the German authorities that they
must return and enroll themselves. and their
father has been threatened with the seizure
of property possessed by him in Germany if
this demand upon his sons was not complied
with. Fortunately for the Booksellers, the
matter has now been settled i'll their favor
but the principle involved remains untouched,
and. on another occasion a similar claim
would probably be urged. We have n treaty
with Germany, which was supposed to pro
vide for all disputes of this character, but it
certainly does not seem to have the required
breadth. In the past, there has been nothing
concerning which our country has been SO
jealous as the personal liberty of its citizens
when in foreign countries, and while our re
lRtions with Germany remain on their present
uncertain footing, there is always a possibili-
ty that some outrage on her part, in impress
ing Americans into her army, will raise pub
lie excitement to pitch which will result il a
breach of our present friendly relations.
