Solicitor General and Mrs. Davis
Had Thrilling Voyage on
Mauritania.

How II feels to live in fear Of being
captured by German cruisers il de-
scribed by Solicitor General John w.
DAVIS and Mrs. Davis, the first Wash
ingtonians TO return home from abroad
since the European war started.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis were passengers
on the Mauritania which, though bound
for New York. Unexpectedly locked at
Halifax last Thursday to avoid Ger
man cruisers. They returned to Wash
ington last night
We were constantly on the locke Ut
for German war vessels, and rumors
of every sort were rife that we were
explained Mr.. Davis. One night 1t
was asserted by several passengers that
a searchlight flashed in our direction
from the horizon and a shot fired
These assertions were not substan-
tiated, though. and can easily be as
cribed TO imagination due to tho cx-
element among the passengers. SO
far as 1 know. no evidence of the near
ness of German ships was seen from
the Mauretania during the trip.
Course Suddenly Changed.
THE most thrilling feature OF the
voyage was on Wednesday night short
ly before midnight when our course
was changed so abruptly that the huge
vessel heeled sharply over. No explana-
ton was given OF the change in course
which amounted TO about 90 degrees
but most of the passengers We're able
to draw their own conclusions.
There had been rumors aboard all
day that we might make a sudden run
for Halifax. II developed later that the
change was made on Instructions from
the British cruiser Essex"
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis had been in Eng
land since before the middle OF July.
With Mrs. J. J. Richardson, OF Wash
ington, who is still in France, they
made motor tour Of southern France
The party was at Tours when the news
came that war had been declared by
Austria on Servia, but there seemed to
be no general belief at that time that
France would be involved. When Paris
was reached the latter part OF the
month, however, there was a very no.
ticeable war spirit manifest, Mr.. Davis
says. The feeling that war was i'm
minent was reflected in financial mat
marked shortage of currency.
War News Unexpected.

MI Davis. we found little or no excite
ment The probability of England's be-
coming involved in the was was con-
feeling in Liverpool up TO the time We
sailed, on the afternoon OF August l.
The news of the declaration of war
several days later, therefore, came as a
great surprise to most of those on
board"
