The greatest precaution was taken
against spies, particularly Russians.
Several Russian spies had been caught
taking messages from telegraph wires
from the tops of buildings. All the
lights in the city were ordered out by
IL o'clock.
1.-THE Americans in Germany were
being treated in the best manner pos
sible. All English tourists were sus-
pected. We were fortunate in having
our passports before war broke out,
SO we had no trouble" she continued.
"On the train from Kiel to Copen-
hagen every precaution was taken to
apprehend spies, which might be trav'

Feared Explosive Mines.
Outside of the fact that the pas
sengers were narrowed by the thought
OF the boat hitting mines in the chan
mel, there was nothing unusual on our
journey home. Our route home took
us north of the Shetland Isles so that
we were too far north to be in any
danger from hostile ships" she said.
Miss Knollenberg, accompanied by
Miss Gertrude Bartel, daughter of MIR.
and Mrs. Adam Bartel, left Berlin July
80 for Copenhagen. This was their
first visit to that city, to which Miss
Knollenberg and her brother returned
later to leave for America. They were
in Copenhagen when war was declared
and consequently could not get to Kiel
because trains were being used to
move the troops. The harbors were
mined so that it was also unsafe to go
by boat.
Patriotism was rampant at Kiel, &C
cording to Miss Knollenberg. Troops
were marching through the streets,
singing Der Wacht am Rhine" and
other national airs.
At KEEL Miss Knollenberg was met
by her brother, who had been in Lon
don. Miss Bartel then went to Berlin
and attempted to get passage to Hol-
land, which she finally succeeded in
doing Miss Bartel sailed for the Unit
ed States yesterday.

ty met was in. cashing their checks
Money was finally forwarded them by
the consul at Copenhagen, so they
could leave for the United States.

The scene shifts slightly, showing
q speed demon coming after the two

To him the telephone poles look like

miles an hour and as much more as
his speedometer could not register.
The thrill comes when the daring
demon passes the racing car Of the

The artful police failed to label the

Yencer's cue is to turn into Glen
Miller park. He does so without look

averts what seems to the spectators
to be certain death by swerving dan
gerously to the left. Luck causes the
machine to go up the park drive and
bound a hundred feet across the old
cemetery lawn before the demon shuts
off the power.
Taylor is taken in tow by the police
and the intended victim is forgotten

heads of the two city police.
"Oh, so you're the guy that we was

Suddenly Veneer finds himself IL

STORY OF TRAGEDY
GROWS FROM CRASH

Considerable excitement was caused
at chautauqua by the report which
was started by slight accident which
occurred east of Richmond shortly
after dark. An automobile driven by
Jessie Schultz of Richmond was brush
ed by one driven by Mr. Murray of
Campbellstown. No one was injured.
The tenders of both machines were
bent, this being the extent of damage
Mrs. Schultz who was reported fatally
injured, was unhurt.
The accident occurred when the two
machines tried to pass at a narrow
point of the road. Mr.. Murray was re-
turning to chautauqua from his home
Fearing that they would run into the
side ditch, both drivers kept the ma
chaines close to the center of the
road.
