Miss Hilda Baer Tells of Exciting Three Weeks in Europe After War Started Praises Treatment of Americans.

Miss- Hihla Haer, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. S. W. lkur. G2 4 S. Carroll ft., was arrested in (icrmany as a French spy. Miss Haer arrived In South Rend Tuesday nUht from Marburh whore she had been studying. She will resume her work in teaching German in the public schools this fall. "I was detained In Marhursh nearly three weeks after the war broke out." jild Miss Haer. "We had no pays-ports and it would have been unsafe to travel without them. One day I was strolling leisurely down the street from the university, when a German officer and a number of soldiers arrested me on a charg-e of being a French spy. I told them in German that I was an American, hut the officer shrugged his shoulders. I showed him a traveler's check which at tho bottom had the letters "U. S. A." lie looked at it and told me he couldn't read English. So the card was passed around among the group of soldiers, some of whom could read English. After about half an hour's detention, they released me, but the officer told me to dress differently. He evidently thought I had a foreign look. A .Russian's I'TpCrienco. "I was not thrown out of my wits or anything like that when arrested, as I could easily have been identified hv the many American students at the university, fore a Russian was caught in led and stoned I5ut onlv the day bedisgulsed as a woman Marburgh and trampto death by a mob. A man with him was snot, inougms 01 what happened to him did not arouse any pleasureable sensations when I was held as a French spy. . "Never before have I seen such spirit as the German soldiers possessed. I saw great troops of them marching through Germany singing, Deutchland, Deutchland Uber Aus," and 'Die Wacht am Ithein their national songs. 'A'he songs expressed a singularly warlike attitude. It was always the fatherland wldh them. They were fighting for the very existence of their nation. It was the fatherlnnii or death and manv of . - . . a m-wm 1 A M them knowing that killed. desired to country. The songs swintr to them. Hut they would he serve their had a military of- the opposite effect was the German song, soft and low. 'In der Heimat geibts ein Weidersehen In the Home Comes a Meeting.' Women FccnI Soldiers. Great hordes of troops came through Marburgh enroute to Helgium where the first lighting of great importance took place. They went all of them with the firm conviction that they would make a better and greater (Icrmany. At the stations, they were met by German women, who served them with coffee and milk and sandv'.ches. One soldier told me that th-y were overfed, so anxious were the German "VNomen to give them plenty to eat. A number of us after mobilization had been accomplished took the train for Holland. For three days and nights we rode, having scarcely nothing to eat except a little chocolate. We had no sleep. We were compelled to t rax el third class w hich is very much like a freight train in America, at a speed of 12 miles an hour. In Holland I wanted to get transportation over the North German . Iaoyd route, but found that they had no sailings-. I had passage upon that line. 1 found, however, that I could exchange my ticket for passage on the Holland-American line and finally sailed on tho Rotterdam. "At the steamship ofUccs I saw Americans offering to my first class passage for steerage accommodations and tip the clerks from $100 to $160 if they would give them tickets. But tips and money were useless then. Had I not hail a ticket on the North German Idoyd route, I would not have been able to got to America." America ns Well Treated. When asked about the atrocities that Germans were reported to have committed to non-combatants, 15a or said: "I know that Americans shown the utmost courtesy. Miss were They were treated as well as could he expected. Everything was all right if you were an American. They were treated as one of their own people would be. "Whilf we were in Marburgh our boarding house proprietor told us that we could Stay there with perfect safety and that we should have food to eat as long as they had any. "Over there the Germans believe that America is with them. They think that America vill come to their aid w!th fund and assist them in everv financial war' possible In conducting the war. The Germans believe, that the Russians have been 'hlnterlistig that is. plotting behind their ba.-k. And of all their foes they despise the Russians '.verse. "In Marburgh b fore we left, a number of tho Gorman women began observing the deepest mourning. As reports from the actual scene of fighting would come in showing that either one husband or another had been killed, the widow would dress with a long black veil. Rut their sorrow was not a public sorrow. .They did not glory in the fact that they had lost their husbands in battle, lie Shot at a Star. "An amusing Incident happened In Marburgh before I left. Wo were all awakened by a territa shock. We immediately investigated. We found that a soldier guarding the road had shot at a star. A dark cloud had come between Venus ar.d the moon and the soldier thought it was a flieger an airship preparing to drop bombs on us. Another Incident occurred near Marburgh which was far from amusing. An American woman with a small child was driving from the city. She was ordered to stop at the cross road by the guard. Her chauffeur did pad heed the command and the euard shot. The bullet struck the child she was carrying in her arms and killed it. Rut that was not the fault of the Germans. When martial law is declared and Fuch a thing happens, tho soldiers aro Instructed to shoot and shoot to kill. "In Holland we found 20.000 Americans stranded, each seeking Borne method to get home. On our boat were Mme. Schuman-IIeink and Gadski, and each were very eloquent In their praises of the treatment that had been accorded them by the Germans. All tho American people that

I talked to who had been in Germany praised the treatment that they had received from the Germans. I was very much surprised to find that the sympathy of Americans here was almost universally against the people fighting for the fatherland. Stopped by War Vessels. "While we were In the English channel we were stopped by English war vessels who compelled us to f how our papers. Four of them drew around us in a circle and commanded us to stop. One of the cruisers came very close to us. and we could plainly see the mammoth guns as they sent sailors aboard to Inspect our papers. In the channel we could hear the faint booming of cannon from the firing upon Antwerp. "At New York we were treated with the utmost consideration by the custom authorities. The boat carried so many passengers that It took hours for us to go through the customs, but the officers facilitated inspection of our baggage as much as possible."

PLAN SERIES OF RECITALS DURING COMING SEASON Inscrsoll and Mclienry Will Iresent First Program on Monday, Sept. 21. A series of musical treats for music lovers of South Dend has been planned by Trof.

The accompanist will be Mrs. Ethel Rarbara Dow of Goshen. SOUTH BEND TO BE HOST TO COLORED PYTHIANS State Convention or Ixxlso Will bo Held hi Tliis City During ; July 1915.

BOASTED OF PROWESS OF GERMAN ARMY, FEELS BOOT Joseph Rilen, a German from Chicago, found that to boast of native militarism In a Polish saloon was about as safe as lighting a pipe while silting on a can of powder Tuesday night. He entered a place on the west side and attempted to tell the bartender of the exact status of the German army in the present war and was ejected from the place on the toes of several Polish boots. He was fined $11 for intoxication in city court Wednesday morning. MHS. A. G. McCnUUX.

About TOO- more students are enrolled in the public schools this year than lau Figures showing the school enrollment for 'this year as compared with lat show a much larger increase than was expected. The Oliver school with ZjZ student? is filled to overflowing and accommodations are lacking for such a large number as are enrolled there. The protable school on W. Sample st. has 414 students while accommodations were made for about 250. The attendance at the portable school was much greater than had been anticipated by school authorities. The Division st. portable has 71 pupils and the Warner st. 13. Enrollment at the high schools has reached 9 30 and was expected to mount to 950 before the day was over. The grammar building has 513 pupils, half of which will go into the high school after the first semester, swelling the enrollment thero over the. 1,100 mark. Three hundred and twenty-six pupils aro seeking an education at the River Park public schools, while the Jefferson has 26 boys taking up the vocational work Tuesday. The Lincoln school had 251 students. Other schools in the city showed a normal increase in enrollment, and little trouble in getting organized was experienced. More high school pupils have registered with the physical directors than can be accommodated. There was not a large enough supply of lockers to give to each pupil and a number have been compelled to double up.

"Thf democratic party in the 13th district will poll better than its 1912 vote." That is the statement made Wed-

nesday by Democratic Dist. Chairman Daniel M. iiechtel of Goshen in Soutn Bend for tho day incident to a canvas being made of the district, "Pres. Wilson' Mexican policy and the success with which he is steering the country off the rocks thrown in our way by the European war, has made him more friends than ever," says Chairman Bechtel, "and it is reaching outside the democratic ranks. "Men who were condemning him a few months ago for his 'watchful waiting' are now singing his praises," he continues. "When it was a poor, weak sister of a republic they wanted to fight, a lot of people were anxious to play the bully, but they see things different when such a formidable situation arises as existed in Europe." "Then." the district chairman goes on, "the usefulness of the federal reserve banks and tho certainty that money panics have been done away with is making a strong impression upon tho business men just at this time, and they realize the kind of man they have at tho head of the government. I know of republicans who will vote for Sen. Shively and Rep. Barnhart just because of the support that they have given the president. Sane business men do not believe in trading horses in the middle of the stream." Golns: After c;. O. 1 With regard to the state issues, Dist. Chairman Bechtel asserts that th democrats will take the offensive with tbe opening of the campaign proper, and that the republicans will have to spend some time cleaning the mud ofi from themselves as well as throwing it at their neighbors. The republican organization has been running wild with the charges that the democrats were extravagant and that the legislature did practically nothing but put through bills to increase salaries and raise taxes. Some time ago Gov. Ralston in discussing these charges of tho republicans said that when the time came the democrats would present the record of the legislature and permit the people to decide for themselves whether not the record was worthy of an endorsement at the polls in November. What Will G. O. P. Do? "The prediction is freely made that there is not an intelligent republican in the state that would dare announce that increased taxation for benevolent institutions, or the increased taxation for educational purposes would be stricken down if the republicans carry this election," says Mr. Bechtel. "We do not believe that a single candidate on the state ticket, nor a single member of the republican state committee, will dsj-e state that In the event of republican success this Increased taxation will be abolished." With the same assurance, it is confidently believed that not a sinsrle rpublican candidate on the state ticket, nor a single member of its organization will have the hardihood to declare that he is in favor of the repeal of the public utility act, or that any of them will hazard the chance of an appeal to the people to go back to a conditionwhere there is no regulation of the properties of the public service corporations of the state. There can be no issue on the vocational education law for in the republican state platform in 1914. they again declared for a vocational education law this year.
