Relatives of Father W. B. Hordeman Receive Cablegram

Father W. B. Hordeman, of Frankfort, who was raised in Rensselaer and whose father and brothers now live in or near this city, was touring in Germany when the war broke out and relatives have just received the first word from him. He sent a cablegram dated Sept. 4th which read: “Not traveling on account of war. Looking for first ship to get home. All is well.” It is not improbable that Father Hordeman will be able to get passage soon and relatives are expecting him almost any time. . The family of Henry Luers have heard nothing from him since receiving the card written on August Bth in which he said that he would probably be unable to star/ home for a long time.
