WHEN PRIME MINISTER WAS ARRESTED.
1914—1929. ("Sun" Special) LONDON, Tuesday. A lot of changes can be made in 15 years. How the Prime Minister, Mr Ramsay Maedonald, went to the front in 1914 as an ambulance volunteer, was arrested, and deported as an undesirable person, is revealed by Mr Hessell Tiltman in his "Life of Mr Maedonald," which will be published by Jarrold's, on Friday. Very high British officials, one of whom is now a Governor in the Dominions, considered him an undesirable person to serve at the front in any capacity, states the author. On the instructions of General John Seeley, Secretary for War from 1912 to 1914, Mr. Maedonald was later allowed to return to Belgium, and was received by the very officers who ordered his deportation.
