"Never again" was the conclusion
of a story told by young bridegroom

her every wish.
Sitting in his office a few days after
the wedding he received telephone

and so on--it's just two threads over

He hung up the receiver and mopped
his brow. He walked by the store
twice, finally entered and approached
the lace counter. She was pretty, but
he had been married only a week and
was busy repeating in his mind:
-Four leaves, then a sprig."

Mr.. Bryan Gets Into Touch With
All Embassies and
Legations
MANY DETAINED IN GERMANY
WILL BE RELEASED SOON
United States Government Decides
That ReserVists May Leave for
Home Countries II They Go
AS individuals.

Washington-Secr Bryan an
nounced Sunday that the American
government now is in communication
with all it's European embassies and
legations and that every effort is be-
ing made to care for Americans in all
parts of the continent.
For many days the state department
had been unable to communicate with
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, but
Sunday communication was establish
ed through Copenhagen. Mr. Bryan
at once telegraphed inquiring about
Archer NJ. Huntington, president OF
the American Geographical society
and other Americans reported arrested
as spies.
Official dispatches revealed that
many Americans had been arrested in
temporarily detained in Germany
merely on suspicion, that at the first
outbreak of hostilties and during the
mobilization period, persons who talk
ed English were under espionage. One
dispatch said that many Americans
were thought to be acting suspiciously
because they displayed cameras and
were taking pictures of the troops or
scenes incident to the outbreak OF
war
Assurances that Americans soon
would be able to leave Germany were
given several days ago, and the open
ing of communication with Ambassa-
dor Gerard is expected to clear up all
doubts on the subject. One of the
/ first messages which came from the
ambassador was a formal notification
from the German foreign office that
most German ports had been mined
and requesting that American ships
be warned against navigating in any
ports which might be bases of HOSTILE
! ties for foreign forces.
Will Let ReserVists Return.
Washington-New instructions to
collectors of customs, designed to
free commerce from all possible re-
strictions, and still observe neutrality,
were promulgated Saturday.
Under the new regulations European
reservists will be allowed to sail for
home II they are not in uniform, do
not carry arms and go as individuals.
The instructions were designed with
the idea that the responsibility and
burden of deciding questions of inter
national law shall be passed along to
the treasury and state departments.
They supersede instructions recent
ly given without the knowledge of the
treasury by the department of com
merce, which affected reservists and
ships.
I'VE think clearance must be
granted when supposed reservists go
as individuals and not as organized
military, unless there are other
grounds for Withholding"
This was the message sent to Dud
ley Field Malone, collector of Gus
toms at New York, by the depart
ment of commerce, Saturday in an
swer to his inquiry as to whether the
steamship Rochambeau, preparing to
leave New York for France with a
number of supposed reservists, should
be allowed to depart.
The instructions TO Mr.. Malone, in
this case, it was said, by officials
here, might constitute a precedent, to
be followed in all cases where reser
visits we're preparing to leave to join
the armies of their home countries.

 of the capture by Boy Scouts of spies in
