Federal Naturalization Comm ssoner
Charles 4. Weiser said yesterday that
the number OF applications by Germans
tor first and second citizenship papers
has been increasing daily since the news
OF the Lusitania incident was received
here
THE increase is really remarkable"
he said Now the German applicants
almost equal the number OF Russian APP
plicants who under normal conditions
lead all the other nationalities In this
regard. Ordinarily the Germans are
near the foot Of the list in the point ~
applications and seldom have more than
five German subjects declared their In
tontions of becoming American citizens
In one day, Now. however, they are
coming in n the rate Of from ten to
fifteen a day"
Mr.. Weiser said that he had heard
the theory expressed that the applicants
hoped by this means to avoid the dis.
comforts incidental to confinement In a
concentration camp In case the Admin
!stration's stand on the Lusitania should
provoke hostirities.
