ARLINGTON MAN
WAS CAPTIVE IN
EUROPEAN WAR
Richard Hunger Returns Home
to Tell of Seizure in Fall
mouth, England.

Just as his wife had finished read
ing letter he had written to her on
August Is, while in Falmouth, Eng
land. Richard Hunger, of 636 Schuyler
avenue. Arlington, walked into his
home late Saturday. The letter had
told of hardships that were being en-
countered by Hunger Mrs. Hunger
was all but overcome when her hus-
band entered the house.
A prisoner of war for several days,
Hunger tells an interesting story of
incidents that occurred during that
time. Hunger sailed for New York
on the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. line on
July %. The boat was out about
eight days and was creeping through
the English channel late at night
when searchlights from three French
battleships were directed on it.
A panic ensued on the boat News
of the war had been picked up by
wireless, and the passengers were
aware of the conditions existing in
Europe. When the French warships
pulled up to the liner the captain of
the latter was ordered to dock his
vessel at Falmouth. The crews of the
battleships boarded the liner and
searched it. Passengers who were
supplied with money, Hunger says,
were permitted to proceed on their
journey. Those who were not so well
supplied We're sent to a farm. Many
of the passengers were kept on board
for seven days.
Hunger was one of those compelled
to stay on the liner, and ne attributed
-
which he had been carrying in a bag
around his neck. When he saw the
searchlights Of the battleships he
took the money from the bag and
placed it in his shoe. Those who
searched him later failed to find the
money.
When he learned that those who
had money might proceed Hunger was
afraid to tell he had $500. When he
was finally taken from the boat
Hunger. with other prisoners, was
taken to the Falmouth police station.
The Arlington man paid six cents to
have his picture taken at the munich
pal photographing bureau. These
pictures were handed over to the
police.
For the next five days Hunger was
kept busy reporting daily at the
police stations in London and Fall
mouth. Finally discouraged because
of the experiences, the Arlington man
remembered he had his citizenship
papers in his suitcase. He figured
they might help him out of his diff
culties. and he showed them to the
authorities. Apologies were forth
coming, and Hunger was permitted to
depart. He sailed for this country on
August 20, more than a week after he
had written to his wife.
Hungers letter was delivered at his
home about 4:30 Saturday, and the
writer arrived half hour later. When
Mr.. Hunger sailed for Europe his
object was to visit his mother, who
lives in Holland and whom he had not
seen In many years. He may sail
| later for Holland.

JUSTICE KALISCH
HAD NO TROUBLE
IN GETTING CASH
IA AE~THhUA - -
Writes TO Brother from Paris
How Gay City Was Sobered
by Wars Alarms.

Abner Kalisch, of 164 Market street
has received a letter from his brother
Supreme Court Justice Kalisch, dated
Paris. August IS, in which the spirit OF
that city in war time is described
Justice Kalisch, in the letter, made
it certain that he was safe and well
Unlike other Americans abroad he
seemed to have no trouble realizing
money on his letter of credit.
The justice proposes to sail for this
country on the steamship France Sep.
TENDER 5. and will be here in time tC
take his place on the bench when the
court term begins.
Excerpts ,, nm thu letter follow:
Since the .jreaking out of the wal
people have been coming here from
all parts of Europe as a haven OF
safety. Immediately after the wal
was declared most of the business was
suspended; many of the principa
shops closed and have remained
closed. The .proprietors, as we'll as
the help, have gone to the front tc
serve their country. The restaurants
are closed at 8 o'clock. The city is
peaceful and orderly. A complete
calm reigns here.
Many of the Americans have left
for London. AS for myself, I have
obtained passport, which entities
me to remain in Paris or to leave al
any time l choose. Expect to leave
on the steamer France from Havre at
the time stated in my last letter"
Speaking of his brother Leonard
the justice said: Lien and Nettie
came here from Havre last Friday
They could take only part of their
baggage and 1t took twelve hours tc
make, the trip. Under normal condi-
lions it takes from three to four hours
Zone can hardly imagine that this
is the gay and volatile Paris. It is
so thoughtful and serious now. The
American sentiment as expressed
here is strongly with France. The
Americans here seem to think that
Germany forced this war upon
Europe, particularly upon France
The French are jubilant over the
favorable sentiment which is ex-
pressed by the American papers in
their favor.
THE steamer France will sail or
September 5. and it is upon this l ex-
pect to return home. l have expert
enced no trouble in getting money on
+, my letter of credit, but of course with
q little loss, The American Express
checks are cashed by the express COM
panies for the amount called for, the
American dollar is worth only ninety
cents, and the English dollar has
dropped to twenty francs, fifty CEN
times. l have enjoyed the excitement
and was much impressed with, the en-
thusiasm displayed by the men called
to duty. They marched through the
streets to the railroad station with
1..f us, ~, 81
anthem, the people in the streets on
their way joining with them. A
great orderly Paris cannot be imag-
ined. That a gay people know how
to be serious is the moral of the &C.
casion."
