room on the fourth floor of the house at

a physician in that city to whom she
was engaged. She was born in War
saw, Poland, she said, and had been

she had Mrs. Berenter gave part Of
it back to her. Monday she went out
looking tor work, and when she re-
turned that evening she said she had
secured a position in a tailors estab-
lishment.
The woman was about twenty-four
years old and rather pretty. She had
dark hair, which, in contrast with q
light complexion. gave her striking
appearance. Her clothing was OF fair
quality.
The police have communicated with
the Baltimore authorities IN an effort

cruiser Geier, which has been at Homo

repairs. has been given until a certain
date, not announced, either to leave the
port or be interned during the war. The
