Show AMERICAN IMPRESSED INTO GERMAN ARMY AURORA, 111., Nov. 2. Last spring William Mail, an American citizen of the firm of Mail & Ruterhauser, in this city, sold out his1 holdings and went to Germany to visit relatives. One of his friends has now received a letter, stating that he had been pressed into service in the German army, and It is said1 that the case may be the basis of a minor international episode. Mr. Mall came to America before be-fore he had given the legal period of military service to the Fatherland. It appears that now the German military mili-tary authorities. are resolved that he shall give them five years of his life as a trooper. |
