PARIS, July 5.-The law requiring Amer
leans abroad to register at the consulates
to protect their citizenship. which went into
effect this month. is already meeting with
response'from prudent Americans in Paris.
Although only four business days have
passed fifteen have already registered
with Consul Mason. who attends personally
to this new duty.
He believes that this work will keep him
in Paris all summer More people we're
presenting themselves at the consulate
when business closed to-day.
Like most laws designed with a good
purpose, this one appears to threaten in
justice in certain instances. For example,
william Seligmsn at last evenings indie
pendenoe Day banquet was introduced
as dean Of the American colony in Paris.
He is IS years old. He made a most
patriotic speech, for which the chairman.
Mr.. Murphy. complimented him publicly
to the pleasure of the other listeners, re-
marking upon his refusal to grow old and
the vigor with which he bore the white
burden Of his winters.
Mr.. Seligman is a member OF the banking
firm which has its chain OF houses in San
Francisco, New York. Paris and Frankfort
on the Main. His friends say that the firm
did a great service to the United States in
the civil war in floating bonds in Europe.
Mr.. Seligman was naturalized in Alabama
in 1914, and although continuously a resi-
dent abroad he has a profound love and
respect for the country Of whose citizen
ship he is proud. his friends say. and he
certainly spoke with fervor at the banquet.
Yet by reason of his residence here. it
Is said. there is a question Of his citizenship
under the new law. a question which the
State Department will have to decide.
