OH OlTlM s Ulli*, i Increase I/Arge-Sinking of i usttit? iiiu S(?u'* to Kiiturnlizii lou. urns ol the na iura li/.a i ?on bureuus show an unprecedented increase in the number of Germans who have applied for citizenship papers and have also taken out their final pa liers in New York City. In com parison with the same period of 1914 the increase is more than 100 per cent in the bureau of the Su preme Court of the State of New York, and more than .'00 per cent in the Federal bureau for the South ern District of New York, in charge of Capt. C. A. Weiser, commissioner for the district. The rush to be come citizens is more noticeable among Germans than those of other nationalises. The rush to obtain first papers by Germans was made evident in the week immediately following the sinking of the Lusitania. From .May 1 1 to May 17 the records of the Fed eral bureau show that 59 Germans applied for first papers. During the same week of 1914 the number was 20. lu the Supreme Court bureau this number was tl s against .'12 last year. At the same bureau the num ber of Germans who got their final papers was 13, as compared with 9 for the same period of last year. For Personal Security. Officials of the bureaus think that the abnormal increase in the num ber of Germans applying was due to a feeling that they might be sub jected to attacks like those made in langland on Germans who failed to become naturalized British*subjects, should the relations between Ger many and the United States become more acute. Some of the officials be lieve that the manner of the sinking of the Lusitania brought on a sense of resentment which impelled many (lennans of this city who heretofore failed to apply for naturalizatiin to do so at this time. An analysis of the Federal records discloses that in the past live years only 5 per cent of Germans have applied for citizenship. Prominent Germans profess to see in the in creased number of applications an earnest desire on the part of Ger mans to take a more active part in civic affairs. Hut the greater number of appli cants for citizenship'continue now, as in the past, to come from Russian, Austrian and Roumanian Jews, with Italians next. In the week of May 10-16 108 natives of Russia asked for citizenship papers, as against 103 last year. The number of Rus sians applying for final papers shows a decrease from 66 last year to 56 ibis year for thc same week. Aus tin-Hungarians eeking first papers increased from ,'2 last year to !?!) this, and from 3T> to 17 in quest, of final papers. The Irish maintain an increase In applications for both first and final papers. In the week of May 9-15 of last year 49 Irishmen obtained first papers, compared with alt this year, while the number who ob tained final papers increased from 22 last year to 20 this. At the Federal bureau the num ber of Irish who were given their first papers increased from 19 last year to 33 this year, an increase of more than 70 per cent. At both bu reaus a percentage of the applicants were women of Irish birth. Italians who registered at the Federal bureau this year numbered 59, as against 39 last year, and at the Supreme Court bureau 70 as against 60 for the same week in May of 1914. Final papers were given to 2S Italians, as compared with 18 last year, an increase of more than T>n per cent. English Show Decrease. Tile only nationality showing a decrease in the number of applicants for first papers is the English. At the Supreme Court bureau the fig ures were 15 for 1914 and 8 this year. At the Federal bureau there was an increase from 2 lo I.'? thia year. Hast year two Englishmen ob tained their final papers at the Su preme Court bureau and one this year.

That these may be serious will have to be admitted. ll they do not prove so in the event, the virtue ot* such fortunate escape cannot be ac credited to Mr. Bryan. True, he has parted company with President Wilson with mutual expressions of esteem, and this may be all well enough. Put the world will con strue the situation broadly; and so construing it, the enemies of the United States will long extract com fort from the fact that at the criti cal moment the policy of the Ameri can government was not able to command the approval of its own Secretary of State, lt is not simply that Mr. Bryan has repudiated Wood row Wilson. He has repudiated also the President of the United States, the spokesman of the American peo ple, and repudiated him, not on a matter of internal policy, but before the world on a matter involving the relations to be maintained between this country and other civilized na tions. Tile import of such conduct i:- not to be disguised by soft phrases. lt ls impossible that any excuses which Mr. Bryan may have to offer will cover bis offense. But it is incon ceivable that his course should suc ceed in robbing President Wilson of that public confidence and support which he so vitally needs. And if Germany still retained any doubts as to Mr. Wilson's absolute firmness, his determination to stand to the posi tion which the American government has taken regardless of conse quences, those doubts should now be dissolved once and for all. The fact that rather than weaken in this mat ter the President lias been ready to part company with his chief cabinet officer, the man who had more to do than any oilier with his nomination for the Presidency, is conclusive. In this ?here is hope. Prom the moment that Ger .any initiated her submarine campaign to th*1 present hour there has been but one possi bility of avoiding a clash between Germany and the United Slates as a result of acts growing out of that campaign. All depended upon whe ther or not Germany should realize that to maintain friendly relations with this country she must respect our rights upon the seas. If Ger many should he indifferent about in curring our enmity, or if Germany were persuaded that the United States would manifest no resentment except in words, whatever she mil gb I do, it lias been certain from the first that .sooner or later something would be done which would inflame thc wrath of the American people be yond control. President Wilson has seen tho (dearly and has spoken and acted ac cordingly. Mr, Bryan has failed t< see it. The utter futility of the po sitien which he has assumed in con sequence it pitiful. Mr. Bryan ii not the only lover of peace in Amer lea. The President is not less de voted lo its ideals. Mr. Bryan ii not alone In his desire to avoid war What man in his senses wishes otb erwiso ?

By no possibility coul< such a policy relieve the people o the United States from the humili?t lng and dangerous position whicl they now occupy. its effects, In deed, would unquestionably be jus the reverse. Let no one be misled, then, Int? thinking that Mr. Wilson stands fo war while Mr. Bryan stands fo peace. The country may be thor oughly assured that if war can b< avoided Ju honor Mr. Wilson's cou rsi is being directed to that end. Mr Bryan, silent when the policy of Ulli government was enunciated, mon tin ago, now moves in a manner calen lated to the extent of his influenci to invite distrust of the wisdom o the President's efforts. lt is an ac which the Americart people must tim it difficult to forgive, lt ought t( strengthen the support which tin President is receiving.
