Escape From Russian War Zone is Told Girl Gives Vivid Story of Adventures

| the train rushed by. and at the way side stations there were troops with fixed bayonets.
 An exciting moment came as We neared Berlin. The train was stop ped and soldiers boarded it. There was a search and the sleeping berths were invaded. Mortified and fright ened women were hustled in their night attire into the corridors.
 What did it mean? Was the search for spy? They were search ing for deserters. It was a rigorous search. but apparently nothing re- suited.
 BERLIN IN WAR FEVER
 'I found on my arrival at Berlin that the war fever was at it's height At the station excited masses of English, French and Americans were besieging our train They were re- fugees from the terror which ap- peared to be stalking at their heels and the fear of the brutal soldiers, who hustled and terrorized them. The din was terrible.
 At last we were off on our way through Hanover. In my carriage were several Germans-1 fancy one or two were naturalized English men-on their way back from a holiday in the country of their birth. More than one of them expressed the pessimistic view that this time Germany will not win and that Ger man diplomacy has been at fault, and that the German general staff had miscalculated the probabilities of the forces arrayed against Ger many.
 "Then came the rush for the boat. It seemed impossible that the jost ling crowd could all get on board. There was almost a panic. as it was the last boat to leave for Folke-
 tone At last we got aboard and four hours later I landed. I think I never was so glad in my life" OTIS KENT TELLS OF HARDSHIP
 Otis B. Kent, an attorney for the American Interstate Commerce com mission, arrived in London this morning after an exciting journey from St. Petersburg. Unable to find accommodation at a hotel he slept on the railway station floor.
 "I arrived at St. Petersburg on July 27," he said. Enormous dem- onstrations were taking place at the capital was warned to get out and left on the night of the 18th for Berlin. I saw Russian soldiers drill ing at the stations and artillery constantly on the move.
 "At Berlin was warned to keep off the streets for fear of being mistaken for an Englshman. At Hamburg the number of warnings was increased. Two Russians who refused to rise in a cafe when the German anthem was played were attacked and badly beaten. also saw two Englishmen attacked in the street but they were rescued by the police.
 Arriving at Queensborough yes terday, the Dutch captain of the cross-channel steamer ignored the wigwag signals on shore and was stopped by shot across the bow, The boarding officer explained that this was caused by the failure of the Dutch boat to display its flag

People escaping from Russia al the time of the beginning of the war, must have had anxious mo ments. according to stories told in telegraphic dispatches to Outside newspapers. One of the most vivid descriptions given of the conditions in Russia at the time when the first orders for mobilization of troops were put into effect, is told in the following dispatch:
 LONDON, Aug 3.-A young Rus sian girl. Miss Akimov, who has just reached London from Moscow on visit with English friends. to- day told a dramatic story. She came by the last train to leave Russian territory given up to civilian use.
 When learned that war was imminent" she said. T sent hotel porter out to obtain a passport. Aft CT a long absence he returned and said that to obtain one was imposs- ible 1 then sent for the secretary at the Japanese consulate. who was a friend He came, and after much difficulty got passport.
 For several days Moscow had been in ferment. In the streets were dense masses of people dis cussing excitedly the latest news in the papers, the special editions of which were published almost hourly. Soldiers were everywhere.
 "On the frontier it was the same On the way to Warsaw l saw trains full of troops. In the sidings were soldiers drawn up on the platforms. On every side was the cry. "To Ger many, to the rescue of our Servian brothers.'
 SOLDIERS HOLD UP TRAIN.
 Then the train was held up and there was hurried consultation. Lines of heads were out of the win dows and the faint lights flickered upon the anxious faces of women will disheveled heads and the mems haggard faces were lined by anxiety Shall We be allowed to proceed or is it war already?' Those were the questions agitating every one.
 "I asked travelling companion, an oldish man who was coming home, what he thought I do not know was his reply.
 Then we heard that the railway authorities were telegraphing to ask whether we could go on, Slowly with many pauses and the nerve shattering grinding of brakes ap- piled suddenly, acting upon nerves already strained to the breaking point, we advanced over the frontier, there were more troops and more activity.
 GERMAN TROOPS EVERYWHERE.
 "I heard a man in our carriage. now terribly over-crowded. with pass engers standing in the corridor, reading a stray copy of a Continen- tai paper It said that Germany was not mobilizing yet, but we were in Germany, and everywhere he saw soldiers, not as spies, but in bat talions. All the stations were crowd ed with them.

Ritchie Explains.

New York.-Willie Ritchie, form CT lightweight champion of the world, announced that he would leave for California before the end of tie week. The San Franciscan arrived on the Vaterland recently from England, where he lost his title to Freddie Welsh.
 The former champion still insisted that the worst he should have been given in his fight with Welsh was draw. After receiving his guar antee of s29,5OO from Stakeholder Billy Gibson, Ritchie relieved him. self of the following:
 America is the only country in the world I never want to see England again. I am going back to California in a couple of days but won't fight before fall.
 Referee Corri did not give me a square deal and I believe he real izes this fact now. I imagine he wanted to hear the tumult in favor of Welsh before he gave his de- cision, as 1t was almost three minutes before he indicated that Welsh had won.
 When the fight was over there was general scramble in the ring and the crowd sang and howled. Naturally, when Corri heard all this he figured 1t would be best to give an English decision. l know can beat Welsh but I suppose 1t will be a long time before he fights again. However, I am young and can wait It must be remembered too, that I am still lightweight champion of America"
