l a happy Honeymoon in Europe, and whose honeymoon was interrupted by the breaking out of the war through out the section he visited has just returned to Cincinnati, where m the Inquirer the following very interest ing interview is given:
 An extraordinary honeymoon terminated yesterday when Mir. and Mrs. Chester T. Klein arrived at tie home of the brides parents, Mir. and Mrs. T. J. Cookson, 2S61 May street, after extricating themselves from the midst of European war zone and ea. during a host of inconvenience. When the couple left Paris for the interior of Germany on July 2G there was no indication of war, but whi'e at Saarbrucken the war cloud broke and the Cincinnatians found them selves caught in the midst of German war preparations and almost stranded for means of exit
 MT and Mrs. Klein were at Col dene Brimm the historic battleground of the Spichen, of 1870. and they e. cupied a room in one of the houses in which Napoleon. the Kaiser I. and Bismarck had spent a night each. The house still bore the scars CT battle and bullet perforations had not been filled in
 Though supplied with sufficient gold to carry them through to the coast, Mir. Klein found that his Am, erican passports were almost worth less in gaining passage and privilege of tourists His uncle, August Klein. being man of influence, was able to recommend him to a Burgomeister amt, or German Councilman, who tur- nished passport after the police had refused one. The young couple .rav- eled from Saarbrucken to Bonn by train, to Cologne by electric cars. and then down the Rhine on river boat to the Holland frontier, and hence to Rotterdam, where they finally secrr, ed passage on the New Amsterdam for home.
 "The call for mobilization by Ger, many brought all men from q ,ears to 60 years old to the mobilyization centers almost instantly. 1t was re- markable. Mir. Klein stated, 10 jew the speed with which the army was mobilized and equipped, 5000 soldiers day being out from Saarbrucken during the time they were there. The German soldiers marched and rode through the streets. shouting and sing, ing the national songs, and there was no sign of any reluctance on the rartI of socialists or others.
 "The Americans twice saw the Crown Prince of Germany riding through the streets in an auto, unat. tended except for the chauffeur.
 "The passport enabled Mr and Mrs Klein to pass through ines where other Americans couil not get through, but Mir. Klein was once searched and their baggage was rar. sacked on the frontier. The Ger mans were courteous, but firm, and no American was mistreated, Klein states The English, even the wo- men were denied any passage priv i]ese Curing his tour Klein had tax en several films of pictures which | were yet undeveloped. A German cf- | hcer exposed them to the light and tore them up before the owners | eyes.
 Horses and cattle have been con ficated by the Government, crops | were dying in the fields from lack of | men to take care of them, and food | was scarce when the Klelas left Ger many.
 Arriving at Rotterdam the kleins found that passage was uncertain, | and it was not until an hour and I | quarter before the New Amsterdam | sailed that they obtained passage, | mainly because Mir Klein went every few minutes to an officer and de- | manded passage and refused to move his luggage from the deck. Mrs. | Klein perched herself upo1 the trunks and no one touche1 it in de- fiance of the pretty American girl

Mrs. K'ein was forced into a room with three other women on the upper deck, and Mr. Klein secured a room two decks low CT. There were 2,40O people aboard and 1,500 were Americans.
 "The New Amsterdam was piloted through the mined harbors at Dover and escorted partly to sea. Ire cap tain was ordered to stop the wireless until day and half out. Two shcts were fired across the bow of the vef- sel by a French gunboat at one time and they stopped until they could es' tablish their identity The French vessel had sent unmeaning flashes out to tumble any messages.
