Colonel of 2d Artillery and Aid Photographed on Arrival To-Day AMERICAN TAKEN AS AGREEK REBEL; DEATHTAREATENED Basil Saffis’s Passport at First Ignored—U. S. Minister Demands Reparation. LONDON, Jan. 6.—News despatches from Athens quote passages from a note presented to the Greek Govern- ment on Dec. 24 by the American Min- {ater detailing the case of an Ameri- can citizen, Basil Saffis, who was ar- rested on Dec, 2 as a revolutionary by Greek soldiers. The soldiers are said passports and to, have taken 3,535 jfranca from his pocket, although after examination he was liberated. The note describes how Saffia left hia dwelling to buy food when he was welzed; despite his protestations and the production of his passport, and taken before a high officer, who re- fused to hear him and ordered the soldiers to take him away. Saffis soon realized that it was the intention to execute him. He implored his guards not to put him to death, but he was forced along with blows from fists and the butts of rifles until they were outsido tho city, when an orderly overtook them and ordered SaMs to be taken back to the barracks, Here he was examined by several oMfcers, who, being convinced of his nationality, ordered him re- leased, The American note stated that SafMfs was !n no way concerned with Greok politics and was about to start for America when arrested. The | gation delayed taking up the matter with the Government until convinced of the truth of the man's story, and now asks for the restoration of his money and an official Inquiry.

This belief has been aroused, es- pecially by the discussion of a change in America’s international and po- litical policy which would make for- eign alliances possible.

And when asked what they had to criticise about the camps along the Rio Grande they replied: “We are too glad to get back to kick about anything. It will be a week before we begin remembering that the Southern Texas native has as his coat of arms a gila monster arm in arm with a centipede and the free hands reaching for all the coin in sight.” | GRAND OPERA SINGERS IN DIVORCE SUIT WHO DIFFERED OVER WAR HE LEAVES $1,000,000 SO GERMANS CAN'T GET IT William L.
