Germans Need Not
Apply After War
Has Been Declared

Application for naturalization pa
pers will be refused all Germans who
seek citizenship In the United States
after war has been declared with
their country, according to an opin-
ion made yesterday by Assistant At
torney General Leslie G. Garnett
This is the ruling OF the United
states statutes, and was made by Mr..
Garnett In reply to a letter from
Crosby Thompson. OF West Point.
Va. who inquired IL persons of the
Slavic race might now take out pa
pers Of citizenship.
The opinion of the assistant attor-
ney-general states that II these men
who are of the Slavic race are not
citizens of Germany or subjects of the
emperor of Germany, they will be en-
titled to citizenship. On the other
hand. If they are, their application
could not be considered If the war
which seems now inevitable between
the United States and Germany
should be declared.
Mr.. Garrett also informed his cor
respondent that all applications for
citizenship must be made to the
United States district court here,
since none ofgthe state courts in Vir-
ginia exercises this right.

WILL BOYLE QUIT
THE G0VERN0RSHIP?

The following bit of political gos-
sip is from the News Letter, published
at Reno:
In politics in Nevada rumors fly al
most as thick and fast as airplanes
above-ground in France There is al
ways something doing in that line and
all one who's interested has to do to
get story is to stand perfectly still
and it will come to him. And there is
one that's, going the rounds with just
bare earmark indicating that it may
amount to something. 1t is to the eff
feet that Governor Boyle is contem-
plating resigning his Office to accept
an important ofTicership in the engi-
neering department OF the army.
Governor Boyle is now in Washing
ton but, doubtless, on his return will
be willing to clear away any false no.
tons that may exist in connection
with his future in politics. However,
he has twice declared emphatically
that he would be a candidate to sue.
coed himself and IL does not seem
at all reasonable that he would change
his mind, especially when 1t appears
that he should be able, as a war gov
ernor, to strengthen his standing, po-
| litically. But 1t may be that the gov
ernor sees an opportunity toget into n
good position in the army, which would
doubtless be to his liking, and figures
that he should accept IT in lieu of re,
naming with fighting line" at home
| that may disappear, as far as he Is
concerned. in November. 1918 Boyle
is a big, strapping fellow, who has
been an out of-doors.engineer with q
would. of course. be especially helpful
in war work. But still there is a biz
work in leadership in Nevada during
the course of the war and there Is NJ
reason to assume that Boyle. as gov
ernor, would not be in a position tC
do as much for his country as Boyle
the army officer
In the very remote possibility tina
Boyle should resign, thus following
the example set recently by one o
the middle.west governors, who qui
to accept a majorship in the nationa
guard OF his state. It would mean tn
advancement of Maurice Sullivan
present acknowledgements, to tn
governorship. And in such n wa
tho entire gubernatorial fight for 1911
would be rendered mixed and compl
Gated. But, as the fellow says, what
