crn appliances of a European or Amer

GERMAN CITIZEN
LEAVES CANADA


George Klein, nephew of the late
George Mertens, has arrived in BaraboC
and will make his home here for the
present. He came from Montreal,
Canada, where he held an important
position with an English firm. Mr..
Klein, who is German by birth and
still claims Germany as his country, was
forced on this account to give up his
position. He states that it was not
necessary for him to leave the country
but he deemed it advisable to do so as
he thought it probable that in a short
time foreigners would be prevented
from leaving Canadian soil for fear
they might divulge information reIa-
tive to the war preparations that will
be under way there when the English
colonies begin to send troops abroad to
help England in the present war.
Mr.. Klein states that thel German
consul in Montreal, who had Offices in
the same building in which he was EN-.
ployed, was apprehended as ga spy
shortly before he, Mr.. Klein, left Can
ada.
