GERMANS COURTEOUS
TO AMERICAN COUPLE
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Huntington Sat
is6ed with Treatment After
Arrest as Snies.

London, Sept 10.-'-After We had proved
our innocence the German authorities
were courteous in their treatment toward
u.s. declared Archer Huntington, Of
New York, president OF the American
Geographical Society, who. with his wife,
arrived here today from Amsterdam
Mr.. and Mrs. Huntington were arrested
in Germany on the charge Of being spies
early in August and many stories Of
alleged ilI-treatemet which they suffered
had reached here.
I'm my opinion" said Huntington,
the excuses committed by the Germans
in the various cities through the arrest
Of foreigners at the beginning Of the
war was due more to excitement than
malice. The authorities only had a bad
case Of nervousness and were afraid OF
everyone but their own countrymen-
We were at Karlsbad when war broke
out. At once We decided to go to Muir
emberg and We left for that city August
!. During the journey We were stopped
frequently and were asked many ques-
tons, but nothing serious happened until
we were near Nuremberg. Then we
were accused Of being Russian spies and
taken into custody. We were searched
first and then stripped. For three days
We were kept under surveillance. That
was the extent Of our molestation.
AT the end Of that time We had estab-
lished our innocence and were permitted
to go. The treatment We received from
the German authorities was reasonable
throughout.

.THURSTON Determined
/. TO HOLD WAR CLASSES
Objections that Arise in Other Cities
viii Not Apply Here Says Super
intendent of Schools.
TEACHERS NOTED FOR TACT

Superintendent E l. Thurston, OF the
District schools, Is holding his ground
Olpon his proposition to teach about the
big war in the schools this year, although
a contrary stand has been taken by edu-
Gators in other large cities.
In Philadelphia and a few other cities
public school authorities fear the result
Of such an undertaking in schools where
many different nationalities are repre-
sented and where naturally some pre-
judice must exist among teachers as well
as pupils
These objections cannot, apply to
Washington. Supt Thurston pointed out
TT all depends upon the way the
teachers so at the subject" he said to
q Herald reporter.
american teachers can make the
European war a means Of widening
sympathies and enIarging conceptions OF
national life, especially in relation to
civilization. They are thoroughly quail
field to exercise a most sensitive control
OF feelings and Of attitudes OF mind Of
their pupils in this and other subjects,
and 1t will separate the good from the
bad, or point out only that which is
calculated to give the pupils the best
there Is in the subject for the time
being"
A considerable increase in enrolIments
will be a feature OF the opening Of the
District schools on September q.
Congress Heights School, Birney's
School, near Congress Heights, and the
Colored Normal School have been en-
larged and are now ready for occupancy.
Beginning this year high school pupils
will have more OF an elective in choosing
special courses. but the school authori-
ties will see that when once a pupil has
elected 20 take certain courses, they
stick to them.

London. Sept. 1o.-The cruiser Path
finder which was sunk In the North sea
with the loss Of 2+ lives, was blown up
by German submarine. This was re-

statement:
The destruction Of the Pathfinder was

ANNUAL KILLING FROST.
Thermometer Dropped Far Below the
Freezing Point Last Night
and Fruit Suffers Badly.

Yesterday there was sudden
change in the weather, which for some
weeks has been almost like summer
A stiff breeze sprang up from the
north and the murcury in the Their
mometer began falling. BY evening
overcoats were in demand, and be-
fore morning there was ice on some
of the bitches.
While it is too early yet to know as
to the extent Of the damage to fruit
there is no question but that it will
be heavy, as a great many of the trees
such as peach, plum, apple and other
varieties were in full bloom.
1t seems to be a settled program
that we must have one or more OF
these late frosts every year, to cur
tail or entirely destroy our prospects
for fruit, So far there has been nc
systematic precautions taken in the
way of preparing smudges, etc, for
the protection of the orchards, and
in consequence the fruit yield here is
pretty nearly nil.
