Eugene Prince, Truly a Man Without
A Country, is Living in this city

that there was difficulty about his
citizenship and consequently about his
passport for leaving Russia.
American citizenship does not de-
scend to the children of an American
citizen who has never resided in the
United States. Consequently as j. H.
Prince has never resided in this coun-
try the United States diplomatic and
consular officers in Russia could not
recognize his son, as an American
citizen and therefore could not issue
him a passport.
! On the other hand, Russian law does
not recognize Eugene as subject of
czar, and therefore he could not get
passport as Russian.
| Gets Special Permit.
1t appears that when an American
resident in Russia desires to leave that
country he must arm himself with
permit from the Russian government
allowing him to pass the border. This
permit is only issued upon the pre-
sentation of his American passport. AS
Eugene Prince could present no Ameri-
can passport he could get no Russian
permit to cross the border Ambassa-
dor Rockhill and various consular off,

ter and affairs were finally adjusted

passed over the border and put on a
steamship at Libau, Russia.
Some time in 1911 Prince arrived IN
this country. After visit with rela
tives in Dedham, Mass, he entered
the Chicago offices of the Information
al Harvester Co., and at the same time
made declaration of his intention tc
become an American citizen should ii
prove possible to btain special legisla
ton in his behalf. 1t now appears
that this declaration of his intent does
not and cannot conform with the terms
of the law.
In Quandary.
Unless this resolution is passed
Prince will be in a deplorable situa
, ton, without standing as a citizen Of
any country and without the posi-
bility of returning to Russia, because
he can secure no passport, either a.
an American or a Russian. His chic
value to his employers, it is said, oh
viously arises from the fact that hi
, knowledge of the Russian tongue ant
of Russian business methods make
him a most acceptable agent to SEM
: to Russia from time to time to straight
v en- out difficulties and to help in tn
! introduction of new lines of goods. .UI

TURKEY GETS Down
FROM HIGH HORSE
Decides to Treat with Greek
ENJOYS - Two Balkan
Rulers Confer.
(National News Association

ONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 20.-Tur-
key has yielded and the porte has in
structed the Ottoman ENJOYS to the
London peace conference to treat with
the Greek delegates, notwithstanding
the fact that Greece has not yet sign
ed the armistice. This announcement
was made here today and clears away
the biggest obstacle which has hinder
ed the negotiations between the allies
and Turkey. 1t is expected that when
the negotiations are resumed tomor-
row thre will be no further serious
hitch to the conclusion of peace. In
consideration of this concession, how
ever, Turkey will demand permission
to revictual Janina, Adrianople and
Scutari.
1t is said, however, that so long as
Greece continues military operations
Turkey will keep her forces in the
field and on the sea.

One Million Placed on Sale
in Chicago.
National News Association

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-One million
storage eggs were offered for sale in
thirty different stores in Chicago to-
day by club women. The eggs were
sold at "a cents per dozen. The sale
was an effort of the Chicago Clean
Food club, an organization Of society
women, to bring down the price OF
eggs.
Retailers assert the plan was foster
ed by spectators. Spectators say
the sale will show up the retailers as
robbers. Some retailers have been
selling eggs of the same grade as high
as As cents per dozen. The women
have ignored the controversy but have
gone ahead with the sale. Paul Man
deville, an egg exporter, handled the
purchase of eggs for the women.

KNOX is WRATHY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Secre-
tary of State Knox in discussing the
Mexican situation today characterized
the situation south of the Rio Grande
as highly unsatisfactory" and added
that the United States intends to i'm
mediately convey to Mexico it's idea as
to the steps to be taken to protect
American citizens. The wording OF
this message, the secretary intimated,
would be more empratic than diplo-
matte and would leave the Madero
government no loophoole or excuse
for not complying with it. The secre-
tary declined to state what steps the
United States would take if Mexico
fails to act according to the program
set forth in President Taft's ultima
tum. but said that this government is
about at the end of its patience.

WASHINGTON AROUSED.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Having
informed Mexico in language that can
not be misconstrued that the time has
come to cease harrassing American
citizens south Of the Rio Grande and
ito stop destroying their property the
United States today took the first
step leading to the enforcement of the
ultimatum.
Orders were issued to General Steev-
er, commanding the American forces
along the border, to keep sharp
watch for any disturbances in his dis
itrict, and messages were sent to- the
,commandants to several army posts
lin the West and Southwest apprising
them of the ultimatum to Mexico and
warning them that their commands
might be called on at any time to pro-
tceed to the border.
The navy department, at the request
lof Secretary Knox also held the first
squadron of the Atlantic fleet in readi
ness to return to Mexican waters
which they recently visited on a friend
ly mission. While it is not thought
that the presence of war vessels would
have much effect in aweing the rebels
who are several hundred miles inland
in the jungles, it is considered thai
their appearance at Vera Cruz and 9th
er Mexican ports would convince Pres
ident Madero that the United States
means business.
Meanwhile the state department will
do everything in its power to close
the threatened breach amicably.
