Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 2, 1902

Mr. Jackson to Mr. Hay.

Embassy of the United States,
Berlin, August 23, 1902.

No. 2041.]

Sir: Referring to the embassy’s dispatch No. 2010, of the 20th instant, I have the honor to report that the German foreign office has now informed the embassy, that the senate of the free city of Bremen had also decided that permission to sojourn could not be granted to Charles Von Oehsen, because he emigrated to the United States shortly before reaching the age of military service, and because he returned immediately after having acquired American citizenship. As he is now only 23 years old, his presence in Germany under these conditions is considered undesirable.

I have, etc.,

John B. Jackson.
