When is an American not an American
London, Jan. 14. When is an Am
erican not an American? That is a
hard nut to crack, according to the
American embassy in London. Rather
it is a whole bushel of hard nuts to
crack. But some of the nuts have
been cracked, it was learned today,
with the result that scores or "Am
ericans" in England are now witnout
a country.
Tho issuance of passports is one
of " the embassy's most troublesome
duties. Numerous Americans who
have iresidod in England for ten, fif
tnnn or twenty vears decided nfter
tiiu YVHI lC;wi, twin ...v. w . w-. tj
nfter the Zeppelins put London on
their calling list, that they had bet
tor Inquirtl ynto their citizenship.
All wanted American passports.
Some wanted to go back to America.
Others were bound for France or
other comparatively Zeppelin-less
climes. There was the rub.
Passport officials at Uncle Sam's
London address struggled with the
problem. The applicants, many of
them with English nccent, so long
had they beon out of touch with the
EICHEY PIANO HOUSE
Statute of Liberty, were forced to
answer imposing lists of questions,
which were forwarded to the State
Department at Washington.
The Department of State acting on
a musty and long unused law, decreed
that to bo recognized as an American
in a foreign country, a person must
report to the proper American au
thorities at various times; duly pay
taxes in America if he or she has
enough property to be taxed; or make
a visit home once in a while. A
great many Anglicized Americans had
failed in this, in whole or in part
They ere now persons - without a

America's lost citizens are marooned
in England.

New York, Jan 14. The, Republi

Fell Dead Fighting Fire.
Baker, Ore., Jan. 14. Fighting fire
which broke out about 10:30 o'clock
this morning at his home on
Thirteenth street between Madison

years old, was seized with nausea, and

mnutes after he had practi ally ex
tinguished the flames. Heart failure
ana exposure, for the old man worked
fratically, half clothed and barefoot
ed, combatting the fire, was the cause
of .death.
