IL must always be borne in mind that
the German officials Entrusted with the
application Of this projected law arc
likely TO execute it in accordance with
ITS letter rather than with its spirit, and
with more red tape and severity than
tact and libcrality That this is likely to
occur has been shown time and again IL
the unpleasant experiences suffered by
American citizens Of Teuton birth who
had emigrated 10 this country without
having fulfilled their obligations with re-
gard 10 compulsory service In the Ger

question whether the new laws would not
have the effect Of setting ct naught alto

United States and Germany, devised foi
