BRITISH TREASURES

Priceless Possessions in Museum

on Gold Shipments
BY WILBUR 8. FORREST,
Gu. P. staff correspondent

LONDON. Oct. 6.-(By mail. -
Adult Americans whose adventurous
spirits tempted them to enlist in Euro
pean belligerent armies must remain
soldiers until they are killed or the
war is ended
This IN the situation confronting
scores of Uncle Sans citizens who
have had their fill of war and want to
get out. Uncle Sam can't help them,
though many have requested his
mediation. The British war office will
not release the Americans it has en-
listed
The American embassy in London,
which has been successful in having
between fifty and sixty American
minors released from British military
service. could not extend this service
to the adults.
In answer to many appeals from
men who joined the Canadians, and
who have survived hard fighting, the
embassy passed the question to the
state department at Washington. Tho
departments answer quoted the fol-
lowing order of 1901, which is still in
force.
The department of state, in an in
struotion to the United States consul
at Lorenzo Marques, during the Boer
war, held that an American citizen
who wilfully takes up arms in the
service Of a foreign state must bear
the consequences Of his act, and can
not expect, while he serves under
foreign banner, to be protected by this
government"
Previous to receipt Of this instruc-
tion, inquiry by the embassy at the
British war office, elicited the state
ment that the British government was
to release American adults
who have taken the kings oath.
SO. American fighters must keep on
until death or peace musters
them out.

stood guard over the passenger crew,
while others held up a freight train
that was closely following the passen-
ger.
The bandits not doing guard duty
over the tralnmen then entered the
express car and proceeded to blow the
safe. The contents OF the safe of uu-
known value were taken ard then they
tackled the Job Of opening the four
other safes. which. however. refused to
yield to their efforts although four
charges OF nitroglycerine were used on
them.
While these transactions were
taking place in the mail and express
cars. save for some excitement among
the passengers in the day coaches, all
was serene on the rest of the train.
The bandits made no effort to disturb
the passengers, After completing
their work, the bandits disappeared in
the darkness, apparently afoot.
