AMERICANS LURED TO WAR.
Many Now Seeking Release From Brit
ish Army.

London.-There have been so many
cases of jealous recruiting sergeants
inducing American members OF the
crews of cattle boats and other craft
to Join the British Army that Robert
p. Skinner, the American ConsulGen-
eral, has effected arrangements with
the Board of Trade by which such men
who repent of their enlistment shall
be promptly released.
The American Embassy of late has
turned all cases of the sort over to
Consul-General Skinner, who now has
a number of them under consideration.
The facts in all the cases are strik-
ingly similar. Men arriving in Eng
land are met on board ship by recruit
ing agents. The British Government
does not favor the practice and is do
ing all It can to break it up.
