Of Co. |. 18th Infantry,
Says He " Would Have Led

Accused of 10000
Robbery at Camp
Nation-Wide Search Ends
as Fx-LieUsenant Meets
Him in Elevator Here

John Willers, thirty years old, Of
S94 Riverside Drive, who served dur
ing the war as captain of Company
|. 4Sth United States Infantry, col-
+essed Yesterday afternoon at the
East Fifty-irst Street police station
that he had been sent to the United
States by the German government in
1914 as spy. He was locked up
.ast night at Castle Williams, Gov
ernor's Island, after being turned
over to the government authorities.
he said that he was one Of three
hundred imperial German cadets
sent to this country for spy work.
1t was his purpose, ne said, to reach
France and then betray his regi-
ment at the front, 50 that his entire
command would be wiped out.
He told detectives that they would
be surprised if they knew the num-
Der Of high officers who served at
Washington during the war who
we're in reality in the employ Of the
German government.
Trained at Camp Sewer
W.llers trained with his regiment at
Camp Sewer, Greenville, S. c. After
the armstce was signed and he found
l.
deserted, taking with him $4,000 in
company funds. Since that time he has
wandered in many parts of the country
enjoying undisturbed freedom. Not
unti. yesterday afternoon, when he was
recognized by a former lieutenant OF
the ASA Infantry, did he feel that he
was in danger. His meeting with the
ex-lieutenant in an elevator at SIP
Fifth Avenue led to his arrest.
The former lieutenant was Hugh j
Hannigan, salesman for the Inter
state Pulp and Paper Company, who
served with Company D, 4Sth Infantry
In the presence Of Mr.. Hannigan and
Sidney P. Howell, of 81 Nassau Street
and Francis Hatch, Of the American
International Corporation, and several
detectives Nillers told his amazing
story. His confession was complete in
every detail.
Tells Story Deliberately
W!llers is a little more than SIX
feet in height He is smooth shaven
has sharp chin, high forehead and
blue eyes He has broad shoulders
and carries himself in soldierly fash
ion. Confronted by Hannigan and by
Howell and Hatch, who served in his
ants, he told mis- story slowly and de-
NOersteiy. He spoke with great en-
phasis and displayed the utmost cool
ness from the time Of his arrest until
lodged late in the afternoon at Castle
Williams.

1t is just the fortunes Of war. Luck

fatherland should have done, and IN
sorry that | was unable TO tulEll my

He shrugged his shoulders slightly
and stroked mis- chin. "Perhaps
you'd have been killed with them, but

said.

Lithuania. The Lithuanian govern
ment served notice on the league al

its international army, which is to

A stormy scene occurred between
Woldemar, representing Lithuania,
and Paul Hymans, president of the
league. Woldemar told the Council
what he thought of the league and
everything connected with it. He
charged that Colonel Chardigny, head
of the league plebiscite commission at
Wilma and prospective commander OF
the army there during the plebiscite
had been working exclusively for Po-
land. He added that the differences
between Poland and Lithuania woulc
long ago have been settled had it not

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1345---has once
more proved that its policy is right.
"A perfect tire is simply matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
slsinping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization OF
tire makers includes a brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not a man
