Italian Loses Plea to
Become u. S. Citizen

Magro Cologeral, formerly Of Italy,
has been loyal resident of the United
States for several years, but he could
not become a citizen when his appli-
cation was heard in circuit court Sat
urday morning, because his wife and
child are still in Italy.
Under the law, an aliens wife auto
matically becomes citizen when he
does, and his children when they be-
come 81 years old. But the United
States cannot make citizens Of people
born in, or living in foreign lands, so
that Cologeral must send for his family
before he can become a citizen.
Dominick Sulpuzio, Willie Cobine,
William Charles McGirr, George Salas,
Harry Cohn and Antonio Sonsino were
more fortunate, each becoming full
fedged citizens as result Of the
hearing.
Will A Church, of the immigration
department in Chicago, was the ex-
aminer, and Judge Bond presided.

BRITON ANXIOUS
over GROWTH OF
AMERICAN TRADE
u. S. Business Men Are Es-
tablishing Themselves All
Over World, Claim English.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 12- British
residents abroad have bombarded the
home government with complaints of
the activity of American business men
throughout the world, advices to an
official of the state department say.
Notes of complaint also have appear
ed. Official advices report that the
necessity for action is particularly
realized in the Lancanshire cotton dis
trict in regard to the trade with the
orient. A deputation from the Man
chester chamber Of commerce has pro-
posed to Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland,
the parliamentary secretary to the de-
partment of overseas trade, that a
commercial mission be sent at once to
China. 1t was proposed that the mis-
sion be made up of representatives of
the cotton manufa cturers, cotton trade
union leaders, shippers and officials of
the department of overseas trade. 1t
is asked that the government pay the
expenses of the mission.
Fear for Commerce Lead.
One London paper voices the gen.
eral apprehension that the United
States will take from Great Britain
her lead in the commerce of the world
as follows:
"The activity of manufacturers in
the United States of America and the
keen commercial instinct with which
they are seeking old and secure new
markets for their goods have led to
many complaints that British manu-
facturers are being left far behind in
the struggle for the markets of the
world
"To British residents abroad It is
peculiarly exasperating to see Ameri-
can houses taking up premises, in,
say, Scandinavia, for the purpose Of
trading direct with large firms in Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark and Finland,
and with an eye to the future, estab-
fishing jumping off place from which
they will be able to establish them
selves in Russia when that country is
once more in a sufficiently settled
state to permit Of trading relations
being re-established. Complaint is
made by Britons in all parts Of the
world that the American manufacturer
is very much to the fore, while moth
ing is seen of his British competitor"
