NAMES OF RULERS WITHHELD.
Acting Clerk Of Court Adopts Plan
for Naturalization Record.

The uncertainty of the condition of
the countries of Europe three months
hence and the possibilities of changes
in the reigning sovereigns has caused
the adoption of the precaution of not
filling in the Names of rulers from whom
applicants for naturalization will then be
expected to renounce allegiance. Alf. G.
Buhrman, acting clerk of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, yester
day prepared the records of application
for final papers made by three would-be
citizens of this country. One was Bel
gian. another German and third
Dane.
When asked why he had not inserted
the names of the present rulers of these
countries in the space reserved therefor
in the order of the court. which is al
ways prepared in advance at the time
of the application. Mr.. Buhrman ex-
planned he was avoiding the possibility
of having to erase the record. He
thought it would be easier to insert the
name when the applicant appears be-
fore the court three months hence than
to change the record in the event that
the present conflict should bring about
changes among the rulers of European
countries.

trust The property has first
