FIRST NATURALIZATION
APPLICATION SINCE WAR

C. c. Wonneman, Mexico florist,
Saturday morning applied to the Aud
rain Circuit Clerk for his first natur-
alization papers. This is the first
application to have been received by
E. F. Elliott, circuit clerk, since the
signing of the armistice.
Mr.. Wonneman was born in Mus
nster Wi Germany May %, 1872 and
came to Chicago from the old country.
He told Mr.. Elliott Saturday that he
started to make out his papers while
in Chicago but was informed there,
that it was not necessary. After the
declaration of war with Germany by
the United States it was impossible
for him to make out such papers. He
was compelled to wait until after the
signing o fthe armistice.
