ARREST G II

LONDON. Bept. 2. Although the military and police authorities are making no announcements these days concerning the roundup of German tpies in London, newB of this kind of arrests, being made daily, are heard from many sources. Onestory which reached here today is typical. . A certain American, his wife and family, who have been llvng In London for almost 10 years in unpretentious style in the suburbs, had a German general housework servant who has been with them almost as Ions as they hAve been In England. When the heAd of the family discovered yesterday that his maid had failed to register as an alien under the new police rule, he promptly told her that she must go to the police f-tation and renter or run the risk of bing sent to jail. The maid protested on the grounds that she was afraid of tho police. The householder indulgently "guessed" that it would be sufficient if he went In her stead. At the police station, where he was known by tho officers in charge, the householder, smilngb' explained his . mission, which he was "quite sure ,wa unnecccssary in the case of his faithful servant. The police agreed that it was doubtless unnecessary, but insisted that they must see the girl herself to save her the embarrasment of coming to the station. He was told.

that two policemen would bo detailed to go to his house. On their arrival there the servant faced them hesitatingly. When they declared they must search her belongings sho became panic-stricken. Find 27 Revolvers. In her trunk in the attic were found 27 automatic revolvers and a large quantity of cartridges. Tho tenant is now In prison. The American embassy was In receipt this morning of a letterfrom Oeorge Schmuetzler. now In the" military prison at Dorchester. Schmuetzler. it seems, landed yesterdav at Falmouth from the steamship Potsdam, bound for Rotterdam. British soldiers compelled him to accompany them to the military prison. In his letter to the embassy tho prisoner declares he is a naturalized American. He enclosed a copy of his record in the United States navy which showed that he enlisted at Omaha In June of 1910 and had served four years. He demands that the embassy bring about his release Immediately and that he be allowed to continue his Journey to Rotterdam. IC "is "probable that Schmuetzler will be released if his records prove to be genuine, but it is very improbable that he will be allowed to proceed to Rotterdam. He probably will be sent back "home". The United States embassy is much worried about Asst. Secy, of War Hreckenridge and the war department nttaches who are with him. Nothing has been heard from Mr. Hreckenridge since he left Berlin 10 days ago for Vienna. Myron T. Herrlck, American ambassador at Paris, has wired to the London embassy asking the whereabouts of Mr. Hreckenridge. but there was no Information here. Meantime the U. S. S. Tennessee and the U. S. S. North Carolina lie in Falmouth harbor. It was whispered about the embassy today that the North Carolina will presently set

forth on a long trip "on an urgent mission.' but its destination and tho mature of the mission cannot be ascertained. It is believed she will go Into the Mediterranean to rescue the Americans stranded in the south of Franc and in Italy. The Red Star steamer Lapland sailed for New York today with a capacity passenger list and with the usual percentage of wealthy Americans in the steerage.
