LFrom the New York sun.l

The Constitution left TO Congress the
work Of establishing a uniform rule
for tho admission OF aliens to citizen
ship. The statutes OF naturalization
haze been added 10 from time TO time
In the last fourteen decades, but never
has there been any amendment which
would modify the original law in so far
as Il affected the FIRST and most import
ant requisite OF the applicant for oiti-
zenship; and that is his genuine intent
to be a Citizen and to remain a citizen,
not only on paper. but in spirit. There
Is no loOphOle for double citizenship. for
the law says, directing the manner in
which FIRST papers shall be issued;
'He shall declare on oath
that Il is bona flde his intention 10 be-
come q citizen OF the United States and
10 renOunce forever all allegiance and
fidelity 10 any foreign prince. potentate,
state or sovereignty, and particularly
by name TO the prince, pOteniate, state
or sovereignty OF which the alien may
be at the time a citizen or subject"
Foreveri That was tho llmitless pc
rlod for which Wursterbarth OF New
Jersey committed himself when he ap-
piled for citizenship thirty-seven years
ago; and two years later, when he was
admitted TO every American privilege
except the right TO be President or
vlce-presldeni he repeated the oath in
substance and swore also TO support the
Constitution OF the United STATES This
time he swore not merely that 70 was
his intent to renounce all foreign ale
glence, but that he did renounce il.
Fraud Is not the less fraudulent when
n appears years 6fterward. There Is
no room for kindly doub. as TO Wur
sterbarths perjury, considering his re-
cent conduct 9s described in Judge
Heights decision.
1T must be borne tn mind that the
respondent did not express any dissatis-
faction with the aims and purposes Of
this country In the present war, or with
the reasons which had induced Congress
to declare war. but that he boldly took
the position that he would do nothing to
injure the country Of his BIRTH and did
not wish this country to win the pres
ent war because Of the ties which
bound him TO Germany"
America was a pleasant place for
Wursterbarth. II gave him a living, and
he was elected TO office. The very gov
ernment which he hopes Germany will
defeat paid him salary as postmaster

lives OF the American soldiers. Il Is
a mistake and it will remain a mistake
TO attempt to use our troops in great
numbers until the smaller units have
had training at the front in association
with and under the command Of French
or British officers.
Had the Ottawa announcement proven
correct there would have been and there
should have been mighty protest In
this country against a policy which
could lead only TO the sacrifice now Of
the last reserves Of our allies in trained
troops and 10 the later lmmolaiion OF
vast masses Of our own troops who
would be sent into a major action de-
stitute Of battle training.
President Wilson never did wiser or
better thing than when he ordered our
troops TO be brigaded with French and
British troops. This was not merely a
contribution 20 Allied safety at critical
moment; It was the adoption Of policy
with respect TO our troops which
should be maintained until we have a
large body Of trained officers and men
OF our own. After that, we can expand
our forces as II may be necessary
There is another aspect OF the discus
sion OF the American plans which Is
highly dlsquleting. II is a mistake, and
should be recognized as such, 20 believe
that the German offensive is over OF
that we have passed the point where
we need fear further German successes.
This is not the truth. On the contrary,
every military man knows that there Is
going TO be another German blow, that
10 will be a heavy blow and that even
though It again miss supreme success,
as everyone believes. It Is at least pos
sible that II will inflict staggering losses
and achieve dangerous local success.
The difference between confidence born
Of determination and optimism growing
out OF miscalculatlon should be clear to
every one now. We have survived the
FIRST shock Of the German blow Of 1918.
We have TO face other shocks which
will be hardly less terrific.
We are In for a life and death strug-
gle FOR the next three months And
II Is a mistake now TO seize upon an al |
