1. ““The statute contemplates continuous inhabitancy, after the first step is taken, up to and including the time of admission, during which the intention to become a citizen must in fact continue. An applicant cannot hold a divided allegiance, in part to his native country, to be resumed at will, and in part to that of his adoption, to be availed of at pleasure. He owes undivided allegiance during the probationary period,; otherwise, he could continue his relations with the country of his citizenship unto the day of his final proof, which would neither be within the spirit of the statute regarding residence nor within its provisions as to the bona fide intention to become a citizen.””
