AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WAS SEIZED
German Authorities Fine and Imprison
Morris ROthschild of New York

Morris Rothschild of New York.
Bath, N. Y, June 10-David Roths-
child, leading business man of Bath
has received letter from his brother,
Morris Rothschild, who went to Ger
many last month"; stating an attempt
was made to force him into the Ger
man army. He reached his fathers
house at Eishtitten the latter part of
May. After being there week he was
arrested, and kept in prison As hours
despite the protests that he was a citi-
zen OF the United States and offered
passports and naturalization papers in
PROOF. AT the end of two days he was
brought before the military court, ex-
amined and found eligible for service
In the German army. His papers were
taken from him and he was sentenced
to six weeks in prison at the end of
which time he must begin a three years
term in the army.
David Greismar of New York, who
accompanied Rothschild, employed a
lawyer, who laid the facts before the
military authorities with the result that
the sentence was changed to a fine of
800 marks, and papers were forwarded
TO the war department at Berlin, which
Will decide whether Rothschild shall
serve his army term. Rothschild paid
the fine and pending the decision of the
war department has gone to Switzerland
where he now Is. David Rothschild will
communicate at once with the state
department in Washington regarding
the matter. One of the papers taken
from Rothschild and forwarded to Ber-
lin was the regular passport of the
United States bearing the signature of
Secretary Gresham.
ANOTHER CASE.
Paterson, N. j., June 1O.-Herman
Flick of Paterson, a naturalized citizen
OF the United States, has for five months
been confined under military charge in
the village of Kohlen Byringstedt in
Germany. The cause alleged for the
Imprisonment Is his liability to service
in the army of that country, but as he
is provided with passports from the de-
partment of state. and is moreover
much under the height required for re-
cruits, 1t is thought there are other
reasons. Just before his illness began
Secretary Gresham received some start
ling information concerning the con-
tinued Imprisonment of American citi-
zens in Germany and though his illness
prevented immediate action the depart
ment has now taken hold of 1t vigorous
ly.

Eugene Debs and Associates Begin Their

Chicago. June 10.-Eugene V. Debs
and other officers of the American

OF the supreme court was received here

tlme the men will serve. The original
sentence was six months for Dehs. and
three months for his associates in two
different contempt cases, the sentence
being made concurrent by the court.
Defendants attorney later had the sem
fences made cumulative, in order to
take the desired legal action. 1t is
thought probable that an effort will be
made to have Judge Wood reinstate the
concurrent sentences.

How Sardou Makes "A Play.

Sardou's way of working is as follows:
The moment an idea has occurred To- him
he puts 1t down, and all the various notes,
documents, particulars which have to do
with this idea are joined together, forming
a sort of dossier When the idea Is crystal
lied into dramatic shape, Sardou writes a
scenario of few pages, giving the skcle-
ton, as 1t were, of the whole play. Then
he puts the work aside. All his various
schemes are treated In the same way. He
has at the present day from 20 to so dos
siers in his drawers, out of which eight or
ten plays will come. So, when he has to
write a drama OF comedy, he only chooses.
For instance, "Theodora" was written Is
years after it originated in the author $
mind.
As soon as Sardou's choice Is made he
reads over all the accompanying notes and
documents which pertain to that play, and
then he begins TO write the drama or COM
edy, act by act, scene by scene, as they
come inlo his mind When he has done
this preliminary work, he rewrites the
piece on large white quarto paper. The
play Is then reduced and condensed. 1t Is
this second manuscript whikh Is given to
the copyist, to whom Is intrusted the care
of putting 1t in shape.
All this writing is ordinarily done at
Marty. Sardou Is not disturbed there "a
he Is. in Paris. -McClure's Magazine.

evident that the process of letting the

that foreign grown hops can reach our

to be the great success that the free
