Senator Sproul Under
Arrest in Germany
Sbceial to The Telcrrnhh

Chester, Pa, Aug. 21.-In a letter
received here to-day from State Sen
ator William G. Sproul, he gives an ac-
count of the arrest of himself and
Charles r. Long, of the Chester
Times, while travelling through the
war zone. He writes:
Here we are, apparently safe in
Amsterdam, and feel as happy as a
orm-tossed ship after it reaches a
port of safety. Our experience getting
out of Germany has been a most
thrilling and exciting one. The Hol-
land-American Line, so far as we can
learn, is the only one sailing, and they
are filled up for the ship sailing to-
morrow. August s.
We had tough trip in reaching
Holland, and our inconvenience was
great and tiring; but, on the whole.
perhaps, we have suffered less than
other American tourists. In Frank
fort we were taken before a big Ger
man officer who, after questioning us,
seemed satisfied and turned us over to
the municipal police. After an ex-
animation we were permitted to take
porter and find our baggage, which
wos located on the station platform.
AT Neiderlahnstein we were again
placed under arrest and taken before
the military post. I presume they
thought we were English spies, for
war had been declared on England by
Germany. In Cologne we were ap-
preached by an officer, who asked for
our papers He advised us not to
talk English on the street and stay in
our hotel until we left"

kiln Martin of Chicago who left here
a week ago for Munich to bring out
his niece Miss Stone, also of Chicago
returned to London this morning
His trip was successful for Miss
Stone is with him. DR.. Martin tells a
story full of interesting experiences on
the continent.
Judging from my trip and the ex-
periences of Miss Stone in Munich
Americans are as safe in Germany as
in Chicago or New York We did not
parade the American flag because we
knew that many persons were seeking
the protection of the Stars and Stripes
who were not entitled to it.
1t is impossible to make the trip
we did without being profoundly i'm
pressed with the thoughtness of the
preparations Germany is making for
every contingency that can arise on
land. The morals of the people was
inspiring. They expected to win, and
they have no thought of turning back
or of failure. There Is no fome diff
ficulty in obtaining money in Germany,
If one has credit and can be indenti-
fed, than there is in London.
I'm three weeks / have been an eve

Pope Requested Burial
in Crypt of St. Peters
By Associated Press

Rome, Aug. 20, 1925 P. NJ. via
Paris, Aug. 81, $50 A M.-Nothing is
officially known about the late pope's
will but the Giornale D'Italia says it is
drawn in humble, pious language. 1t
recommends his successor to grant his
sisters a pension of $50 monthly each,
but does not mention his niece, ,Gilda
Parolin. 1t also expresses the desire
that a pension of $12 monthly be
granted to his valet.
The newspaper adds that the late
pontiff asks that his secretary Mon
signor Giovanni Bressan and Mon
signor Giuseppe Pescini be promoted
to canonries.
The will contains a recommendation
that the burial be a modest one in
the crypt of st. Peters. 1t concludes
by invoking Gods forgiveness for the
sins which the testator may have COM
mitted, especially as pontiff

Colonel Has Nothing to
to Say on Human Dilemma
Special to The Telegraph

Oyster Boy, n. Y. Aug. 21.-Colonel
Roosevelt returned to Sycamore Hill
from his New England trip this even
ing realizing full we'll that a crisis is at
hand in the Progressive party of the
state, but he wasn't ready to say any
thing about it.
William Grant Brown, one of the
conferees on Wednesday, said yester-
day that it was the consensus of
opinion at the meeting that Hinman
could not be supported for Governor
by the party because he had made it
clear that he had no love for Pro-
gressives or their principles. 1t was
matter of principle with them, he said,
and not of patronage. They felt ii
would be a distinct setback for the
party to nominate him when he had
declared that he would not campaign
for himself or his associates on the
Progressive ticket and that he is and
shall continue to be a Republican even
if not nominated in the primaries of
that party.

Carranza in Capital;
He Promises Reforms
Sbecinl to The TeIeprnhh

Mexico City, Aug. 21.-Enthusiasm
mounted high when General Carranza
entered the capital at the head of his
troops. Streets were festooned with
banners and underneath them a throng
of men and women edged their way
along, cheering the marching columns
as they swept by to the palace.
Arriving at the palace, General Car
rama went out on the balcony to greet
the crowd that pressed into the plaza
and to review his soldiers. He made
a brief address, in which he said that
the new government would hasten to
enact into law the reforms for which
the revolution had been undertaken.
Behind the Consjtutionalist leader
was draped the flag that Madero lost
in the last days of his campaign. 1t
had been presented to General Car
rama by the labor leaders.
