IMPORTANT ISSUE
RAISED.
American Born Young Man
Held Liable to Military
Duty.

New York, May "A dis
patch from Washington to the
Herald says that the latest cit
zenship question which has
arisen between this govern
ment and Germany has result
ed in the issuance of instruc
tons by the state department
to Ambassador Uhl, directing
him to make a demand for the
immediate release of an Amer
lean citizen named Mayer,
who, the authorities consider,
has been wrongfully impressed
into the military service OF the
German government.
A new and important issue
has been raised in this case.
Mayer was born in this coun
try ola German subject. The
latter, although living here for
some years, tailed TO take out
naturalization papers.
When the child was or II
years old, his~Parents returned
to their native land. Mayer
attended German schools, and
when he reached the age of
d, he was informed that he
must enter the German army.
Mayer refused to enlist on the
ground that he ~s an Amer
lean citizen. The case was
brought to the attention of the
American ambassador, who
forwarded the papers to Wash
ington for the state depart
ment's consideration.
Investigation showed that
Mayer really had a claim on
this government. The depart
ment states in its Instructions
to the ambassador that per
sons born on American soil are
Americans, and as such are en-
titled to the protection of this
government. When the mat
ter was first brought to the at
tention of the German author
tiles they denied the right of
the United States to interfere,
holding that as Mayer was
born of a German subject he
was a German citizen.
The authorizes found that in
case of military i'm
pressment, which was consid
ed some years ago. Germany
admitted practically the conten
tons of the United States. The
authorities are confident the |
demand of this government
will be complied with.

General Snlolenski has de
clined to accept the post of

The decision of the govern
ment is momentous. but it is
