American is Detained AS
Spy IN EUROPEAN WAR zone.
Special Foreign Representative Of
Maxwell Motor Company Tells OF
Narrow Escape and Midnight Rides
Takes Shortest Way Home

eff the Statue of Liberty wants to
see me again before the European war
is over. she will have to turn around. y
Thus remarked f. NJ. Greene, foreign
representative Of the Maxwell Motor
Company, of Detroit, as he stepped
from a Maxwell touring car and enter
ed the Maxwell Company $ main office
in Detroit.
The account of Mr.. Greene's expert
ence is most interesting. He was in
Paris with C. +. Redden. the Maxwell
Company sales manager, when the
war broke out. Together the two men
witnessed the moblizing of French
troops aud the wild, but enthusiasm
of the Parisians as they marched
through the streets of their city sing
ing and yelling.
On July so, Mr.. Greene reached Ber-
lin and there again he saw scenes,
which only occur before a great war.
1t was while Mr.. Greene was here that
the Germans learned that the English
were mobilizing. They had not feared
so much before but their faces became
serious when they learned of the action
of the British. 1t was at this time
that Mr.. Greene was taken as an Eng
lish spy and was forced to spend sew
eral hours under guard before he was
identified and released. MIR. Greene
also witnessed an attack on the English
Ambassador. Mobs followed his auto.
mobile and troop of mounted police
men with drawn swords surrounded his
ear and accompanied him to safety.
The Germans destroyed all things bear.
! ing English names and the beautiful
residence of the English Consul was
stoned.
With such spirit against the English
running high the lives of Americans
were more or less endangered, due to
the resemblance between English and
American. For this reason the German
authorities issued an edict that all
Americans wear American flags as
means of Identification;
Mr.. Greene was fortunate to secure
transportation on special train for
Americans only, from Berlin to Rotter-
dam. There were 165 Americans on
board and the usual run of seven hours
occupied day and a half. The train
had a dining coach but the passengers
were compelled to sleep in their seats.
At Amsterdam, Mr.. Greene took
train to the Hook of Holland from
thence by boat TO Harwich and another
two-hour train ride brought him to Lon
DON
While en- route to New York, the
Minnehaha, on which Mr.. Greene
booked passage, had several delays.
One night she was held up by a strange
warship and not until the stranger was
satisfied as to the nationality and desti-
nation of the Minnehaha was she al.
lowed to proceed.
Several days out of New York a
field of icebergs was encountered and
created intense excitement on ship
board, and then as if to cap the eli.
max, hurricane sprang u, which
threatened for a while to pay havoc
with the ship. New York was finally
reached, however. and Mr.. Greene S
reference to the Statue of Liberty un-
doubtedly voiced the sentiment of
every American on board.

UNITED STATES CAN
REPLACE IMPORTED ARSENIC

The consumption of white arsenic
in the United States in 1918 amounted
to about 1900 tons, valued at $4,000,
of which 2,513 tons, valued at $780,
236 was produced in this country as
a by-product from copper and prec-
ious-metal shelters. and the remain
der was imported largely from Euro
pean countries For the present i'm
ports OF arsenic will probably be
seriously diminished by the European
war The American shelters can
save much more arsenic than they
do now, for the cheapness of the
product has prevented the saving of
all that was practicable, and the war
would seem to open the way for an
increase in the American output.
Works for the exclusive production
of arsenic have been erected at only
two places in the United States
Brinton, Va, and Mineral, Wash. 1t
is difficult for such plants to produce
arsenic to be sold in competition with
the by-product of the smelters except
in periods Of high prices, such as
may again prevail if the war and its
industrial disturbances are long con
tinued.

RUSSIAN JOURNALS ADMON|SHEO
To ALWAYS Be CONSERVATIVE

machines takes time, and the Rus
SLAMS succeeded quite well in accom-
plishing their retreat
Such a retreat, as the most inn
portant Russian experts point out
and as | said in this column about
a week ago, is purely tactical move
to take up more favorable positions
and is absolutely of no significance.
The deaths of Generals Samsonoc,
Martos and Pestitch were quite acct.
dental A German shell of large cali
bre burst among General Samsonoff's
staff as the gallant hero, with his of
iicers, was leaving the battlefields the
last to leave it, directing the retreat
of his army from the rear.
And such a splendid retreat, which
can be admired by every military ex-
pert, was called in Berlin "a new
victory"
The Japanese, by a luckier chance
for them succeeded at Port Arthur
in killing with an 11-inch shell the
celebrated General Kondratenko, who
was the soul of the defense of the
fortress, and with the hero persisted
the best officers of the staff. This
was a mortal blow for Port Arthur,
because nobody could replace the
dead chief; Russia had not then good
generals. and the fortress was com
pletely blockaded. but in the present
war the Russian war office has a
number of good, experienced generals
and officers at its command, and the
dead chiefs have been replaced
1 The strategy of the Russian com
manders-in-chief in Galicia shows
well what the Russian generals today
are capable of doing Not only the
Russian press, which is most modest,
! but the experts of the whole world
have proved it in the press. In un.
dertaking the invasion of East PRUSSIA
the Russian army was ready to meet
a vigorous defense by the enemy, and

ficulties on its way forward.
When the French army was in re-

holding back the offensive of the
enemy, were beating a retreat in good
order and with extraordinary calm
ness, | always repeated to the pessi
mists that this retreat counted as
a brilliant victory. and | was right

BRASS BUTTONS
FROM MAKERS IN
OTHER COUNTRIES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-The brass
buttons for American soldiers uni
forms have been made in England
under contract awarded by the Demo
cratic secretary of war and Demo
cratic secretary of navy.
Uncle Sans soldiers and sailors
wear a lot of brass buttons. Some
of them have two double rows down
the front of their uniforms. Then,
there are army and navy ornaments,
shoulder-straps and other kind of of
fetal insignia. Uncle Sans revenue
officers, snder Secretary McAdoo,
wear brass buttons, too, and even the
capitol policemen and watchmen at
the doors of the government depart
ments are adorned with these shining
emblems of official authority.
The civilian who doesn't care much
about brass buttons anyhow may find
ii difficult to realize that Uncle Sam
spends from sixty to seventy thou
sand dollars a year for brass and
bronze buttons, but he does. In the
basket clause" of Schedule G, of
the Democratic tariff law, the duties
on these buttons was reduced from
80 per cent to Is per cent, ad va
loren.
AS soon as this cut was made, an
English firm entered competition for
the button contract and because of
cheap labor was able to underbid the
American manufacturers who had
handled the contract satisfactorily
for. several years and had given en-
ployment to hundreds of men in the
making of American buttons for
American soldiers.
AS soon as the contract was award
ed to British button manufacturers,
New England manufacturers, natural
ly, made a big protest. No attention
was paid to this until the protest
became so strong that Democratic
senators and congressman from New
England saw their mistake and urged
the cancellation of these contracts,
Not until July. however. was the con
tract to the British firm cancelled
and then it was given up on the
ground that unsettled conditions
made delivery uncertain Thus, the
war was a very present need in time
of trouble to the Democrats.
