Tells- of Confusion of Getting Out of Germany and Securing Passage Home Dr. J. P. Honan, who, with -his wife and a 7 number of American patients were at Bad Nauheim, Ger{malny when the war broke (out wrote from London, England undpr date of Sept. 2nd, to his brother, Attorney Edward P. Honan, of this city, as follows: “It is at times hard for me to realize that we are in the midst of what I fear will prove the greatest war in history and no doubt the most destructive. I can not tell you with pen the" details of our flight. I am not equal to the task at present. I have lived through too much history in the making to attempt to describe it now. Furthermore, I hope to have a long visit with you .soon, when I shall have many things to tell you. I do hope you received our two cables, which would relieve your minds and worry about us. “I brought all my very., ill patients here with me and shall do the best I can for them until we reach ’home. I am going dbwn to the s. s. office to arrange sailing and will finish this later. “LaterWe have secured sailings on the S. S. Calgarian of the Allan Line, sailing from Liverpool to Quebec on Sept. 25th, due to reach Quebec. Oct. Ist or 2nd. What our plans will be on landing I am as yet'unable to say, but probably -rive you something monf definite before leaving here. We are thanking almighty God daily, yes, hourly, that we are thus far safe and well. Every s. s. office is jammed with Americans scrambling for places to get home.”
