MANY WISH To BECOME
CITIZENS Of THE j. s.
PETITIONS FOR NATURALIZATION
PAPERS ARE CERTAIN TO SHOW
A RIG INCREASE.

The European war has had no ap-
preciable effect upon the number OF
petitioners for naturalization, gener-
ally 1t has caused an increase in the
number of declarations, accompanied
by many peculiar and interesting Incl
dents. Such is the statement of T. T.
Harner, United States naturalization
Officer, who is attending the United
States district court now in session N
Savannah.
There has been the normal increase
in the uuall er Of applications, NJ.
Horney said. Probably the only reas-
on the effects of the war is not shown
m this respect is that it requires three
years after the declaration is filed ana
sufficient time has not elapsed yet for
the increase to be shown.
Many of the foreigners are rather
reluctant about the matter just *
present Mr.. Horner said, because of
the fear of their fellow countrymen
criticising them for hiding behind
naturalization papers. Some instanc IS
of this character are known, M

the reports the captain was threatened

AUSTRIAN ARMY LOOKS
LIKE "CRAZY-OUILT"
arnored.

PETROGRAD, Sept 17.-(Special
"A leading Slavophile, Dmitri Yer
guen, in the Novoe Vremya under the
heading, "A Fragment of the Tower of
Babel" paints an amusing picture Of
the heterogeneous composition of the
Austrian army as exemplified by the
various nationalities of the Austrian
prisoners.
Thus, the remnants of Baron Hot
zendorf's army gathered at Zmosc, in
cluded Galicians, Slovake and Rou-
manians, whose mutual relations were
extremely hostile.
The Czechs term the Magyards brig
ands, who eat three times their prop
er rations, so compelling the slavs TO
go hungry. The advent of the Rus
slams delighted the Galicians and
Serbs most of all. They were usually
wounded in the heels or the calves,
and affirm their wounds were caused
by the Austrians when they tried to
desert to the Russian side.
One Serb from Sarajevo stated the
Serbs shot their German officers and
escaped into a forest, where they
awaited a Cossack patrol, TO whom
they surrendered.
The Austrian authorities system
atically lied to the Galician troops,
from whom they concealed the cap
ture of Lembelg, it is charged
when We left Vienna they say,
I'VE were told the Austrians had
taken Belgrade. At Cracow they
were told all Servia was conquered
and the army was approaching Nish
and that the Germans had entered
Warsaw When we were led to posi-
tons we were informed that Polish
monarchy was already established,
proof of which was shown by stamps
with the efigy of King sobiesky the
Third.
The Slave were abominably fed,
and went without food for two days.
In order to quiet their murmurs the
officers assured their troops their task
would be ended with the capture c..
Zamosc. They also declared Russi4
proposed to conclude a separate peace
with Austria and so direct all her
troops against Germany, and that sh9
likewise had offered to pay Austria a
huge indemnity. Many believed these
stories, but the Czechs, Serbs and
Galicians did not.
The majority Of these latter frel
in the air and surrendered wholesale

noticed this and ordered the regi-
ments to be mixed
