New York at Will
H. S. Fricke, Once Interned,
Free to Come and Go
as He Chooses

Heinrich S. Fricke. an enemy alien
who was interned last summer follow
ing his arrest by United States Secret
Service agents for alleged completely in
destroying the vital parts of some Of
the interned German ships, has been
freed. Daily he enters and passes
through barred zones and sleeps within
stones throw of Fort Wadsworth, on
Staten Island James Power. United
States Marshal for the Eastern District
OF New York, in whose jurisdiction
Fricke lives, was asked yesterday about
Fricke's release.
"He was not let out merely TO spend
Christmas at home, as some OF the
others were," said Mr.. Power. "Fricke
was released few days after he was
interned. He's been out long time"
Fricke rides from his home on Staten
Island aboard ferryboat that affords
him an excellent opportunity Of seeing
all that goes on in the harbor every day
There are more than 100000 other
enemy aliens in New York City who
have the same privilege.
Fricke is auditor Of the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Company.

Laughed at Here;

His Machine Gun Used
on British Front Af-
ter Rejection in
Washington
By c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-"Both my
sons are at the front with Pershing.
As father I want TO see them have
the protection that the best guns and
ammunition will afford. And what is
the state there? The lack Of equip
ment of our men in France is an out
rage. They have only what We are
able to beg or borrow from poor
France, who is herself stripped to the
skin. America with all her unequalled
resources is unable TO arm her own
men. Some one is responsible for
this. will tell you who is, at least
partly. The Bureau of Ordnance is.
General Crozier is more responsible
for our failure than any other living
man."
Those words Of Colonel Isaac n.
Lewis, inventor Of the Lewis machine
gun, summed up in spirit as we'll as
in effect his testimony before the
Military Affairs Committee to-day. A
victim, as he conceives it-and a good
section of the army agrees with him
Of Crozierism, as he called it. he paid
his respects to CroZierism. He told
his story of what is generally regarded
here as the prejudice of the Ordnance
Bureau against him for the first time,
and told it with so much feeling that
he was not the best witness in the
world
New-York tribune., 1917-12-23
His Guns on Battlefield
Testify for Him

But behind everything he said was
the indisputablc fact that his gun is
one of the best il not the best machine
on the battle front in Europe to-day.
And in preference to this tried gun
the Ordnance Bureau Colonel Lewis
and every one else believes this bu-
reau dominated the policy adopted
chose what the colonel called "pict-
ure gum" one at which only work.
ing model had been made for tests in
an arsenal.
The most impressive point the
colonel and the president of the COM
psny which manufactures the Lewis
gun. A. G. Borie, Of the Savage Arms
Company, of Utica, made against the
adoption of the Browning gun was the
prediction that il would take at least
ten months more before a workable
gun with interchangeable parts could
be produced. These two men spoke
from experience. Colonel Lewis said it
had taken him eighteen months in hi,
European plant TO make his gun inter.
changeable and it had cost 81 ,0OO, 900.
They said that instead of producing
hundreds Of Brownings by next spring,
as the manufacturers expected, they
would be producing only dozens.
And 70 bear this out there stands the
fact that all of our manufacturers who
tried to supply the European belliger-
ents with both rDes and machine guns
did encounter all kinds Of troubles, and
many of them failed TO make deliveries
until long after the time set, aud GONE
OF them lost much money. According 9
to gossip repeated by the witnesses to-
dey, the United States government has
already paid to Mr.. Browning, the in.
yentor Of the Browning gun, 81 ,250 00c
for his rights in this gun, which ha.
never been tried in warfare and which
may not be manufactured in quantity
until after the war is over.
