MAKING TEST CASE
OF ExPATRIATIoN.
Arrest of Frank CasweII, Who Had
Joined Canadian Regiment for War.


Washington, Jan. 14.-The depart
ment of labor issued a warrant today
for the arrest at Detroit of Frank
Caswen, an American, discharged re-
Gently from the Canadian forces, to
make a test case to have the United
States courts determine if an Ameri-
can citizen expatriates himself by en-
listing in a foreign army.
The technical charge against Caswell
is violation of the contract labor law
in entering the United States to take
employment at Detroit. The decision
is expected to fix definitely the status
of hundreds of Americans returning
from army service abroad.
CasweH, a native of Harrison, Me-,
enlisted with Canadian expeditionary
forces last April, but was discharged
In England for physical disability and
returned to Canada. On an offer of
employment at Detroit, he tried to re-
enter the United States at Port Huron,
