then began the romance that had Its
elimination a few days ago.
After meeting in Antwerp, the
young lady went to Stockholm,
Sweden, where she had secured
position. The ardent swain. however,
did not stay long in the Belgian capt.
tai after his fiancee had departed.
and in the course of a few weeks
was at her side. Months rolled On,
and their love grew stronger. A
few months ago, Madamoiselle Fon-
tijen went hack to her old home to
visit her family and to tell them that
she was shortly to be married to
Christian. But, while she was
sojourning in the land of her birth.
the war broke out and the German
army was invading Belgium. Hsr
home was burned by the Germaa
troops. Her family had fed In
desperation. She lost her father,
mother, brothers and sisters In the
terrible chaos that followed. She
was alone. She sat and pondered.
Her home had been destroyed. her
very flesh and blood had been taken
from her and by the Germans, his
people, the man of her choice.
Eut, love triumphed and the beau-
tiful Jeanne worked her way to
Copenhagen, where her future hus-
band was awaiting her. Once there,
embraced and all thoughts of the
wrongs wrought by the warriors were
forgotten. They applied for a mar
riage license in the Danish capital,
but the authorities would allow no
marriage between a German and Bel
gian at that time, for fear Of inter-
national complications. The news OF
their attachment was soon a matter
Of government knowledge, and 1t was
only with great difficulty that they
succeeded in getting aboard the
steamer and embarking for America.
Mrs Kramer told the reporter that
her brother had been taken prisoner
by the Germans at Liege. but she
stated that If all the Germans were
like her husband she had no fears
for her brothers. safety. She has
not heard from her family since she
left home, after the terrible seige of
Antwerp, but from European papers
that arrived Saturday, she has found
that her brother, a captain In the
Belgian army, was among the pris-
oners taken by the soldiers Of tho

COMPANY KNEW
OF PLOT TO BLOW

New Orleans Arrests Result of
French Lines Investigation
of Scheme.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The exist
ence of an alleged conspiracy IN New
Orleans to blow up a French or
English passenger ship on the sea
by placing an Internal machine In
her cargo before she should sail
from New York WAS known twelve
days ago to Paul Faguet. general
agent OF the French line, according
to an announcement made here to-
day.
A small army of detectives was EN-
pioyed to prevent the fruition of the
scheme, every bit OF baggage and
cargo going into the French line
ships was closely examined and the
proper authorities. Mr.. Faguet said.
were promptly notified. 1t was be-
neved here that this notification was
what resulted In the arrest OF four
men In New Orleans last night.
1--WE have taken and shall continue
to take every precaution against
outrages OF this sort" Mr.. Faguet
said. I'VE have had detectives
guarding our ships while they were
here and our docks ever since the
war started. We have increased this
guard. 1t is virtually impossible now
for an Internal machine to be put
aboard any of our ships while here"
The Cunard line and the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine line, which
control most of the British transat-
lantic liners. have strengthened the
forces of guards. No visitors may go
TO any Of their docks and when ves-
sells leave no one is allowed on board
who is unknown to officials. Passen-
gers have to furnish proofs of their
Identity before they are permitted to
go aboard. All baggage is scrutinized
carefully and the cargo is thoroughly
II spected before 1t is taken on.
To prevent the possibility Of an at
tempt by longshoremen to place
explosives or damage the ships, a
squad of detectives disguised as long
shoremen have been working for
weeks with the real longshoremen on
the docks.

All Swiss Will Unite to
Fight Common Foe, Says
Head of Confederation

PARIS, Dec 23-"Private sympa-
thies in Switzerland are varied" said
DR.. Giuseppe Motta the new presi-
dent of the Swiss Confederation, In
an interview with the correspondent
Of the Petit Parisien at Berne, but
we must be Swiss, nothing but Swiss.
"That attitude is the only one
which can serve our interests and the
cause of Europe. The three races
which make up our nation are work.
ing In the closest union with this
end In view.
After certain hesitations, the Ger
man Swiss, whose minds work less
rapidly, and the French and Italian
Swiss, who are more easily influenced
by sentiment, have closed ranks
around the national idea that from
whatever quarter an aggFessor comes,
II he should come, he will be the
enemy for all Swiss. and Immediately
the Swiss army will enter into line
with those who already fight against
that enemy"
