CITIZENS OR NOT c1r1zENss
not Speak English Claim Amer
ican ProtectiOn.

Mr.. Henry James, as an admitted ex-
pert on the expatriated American,
should be called in to settle case that
is troubling our consular service. The
question in brief is, says the New York
Evening Post: When is an American
citizen no longer an American citizen? ?
The consulat Quito finds that business
men who speak not word of English
have lived for 40 years or more in South
America, and meanwhile have main
tanned no relations of any sort with
the United States, will fiaunt their
American citizenship, and in time of
disorder claim the protection of the
American flag. Consuls. habituated to
all manner of absurd and illegitimate
appeals, hardly know what to do in
such cases. They cannot afford to
treat an American citizen as an inn
postor, and they naturally do not wish
to treat an impostor like an American
citizen. In smaller degree the same
conditisn of things prevails at every
large consulate in Europe. The coun-
sui and the generally needy and fire.
quently doubtful Americans are sell
dom long parted. No remedy imme-
diately suggests itself, though pa
thence and sense of humor will al
leviate such consular troubles. Pos
sibly, as our population becomes less
homogeneous and such dangerous ele-
ments as the foreign criminal societies
are added to the ranks of mere SWIM
dlerdom. we shall have to forego some
Of our happy-go-lucky republican
ways, and adopt such European fixinss
as the card Of Identification, with some
form of registration for travellers. The
present passport does not help our
cs ,suls much. 1t is too easily obtained
BY any applicant.
