in my little house, which I will gladly give to
any homeless American, man woman" The
next morning school teacher, whose pupils had
left him. offered his schoolroom, "with beds"
to stranded who might need shelter. Then
came citizens, among whom was Leo lehman,
offering large sums Of money, which they vol
unteered to advance on American letters Of credit
which the banks had refused to honor, except to
a limited extent.
Among those who made similar offers was Mr..
Belt Speier, who had been the British Consul
General until the outbreak of the war. On all
sides, in all walks of life there seemed to be
desire to please the Americans and to make them
comfortable The feeling against England was
naturally strong, but the people, despite the Ian
ggaGe knew how to diferentate. This was de-
monstrated in hotel elevator, whore German
guest, hearing the elevator boy speak English,
took him TO task for il. The boy Strengthened
up and said to his critic, 81 do not speak Eng
ilsh; | speak American" This friendly spirit
existed even in the grim aud supposedly inacces-
sable military circle.

plies devolves. On the outbreak of the South
African the quartermaster generals depart
ment faced with colossal task, and one
which military power had ever been confronted
with. Supplies for three months were dispatched
with all haste, and month by month after these
supplemented according to the total num-
Der of men and animals at the front or under
orders to go to South Africa at the time.
Thus, on the basis of providing four months
supply for $4,000 troops and native transpor.
helpers and $1,000 horses and mules, enormous
quantities Of food were required. Of preserved
meat alone there was 100000 pounds, and of
biscuits there the same quantity Coffee
stood at 100000 pounds, tea at 100000 pounds.
sugar at 100000 pounds, compressed vegetables
at 100000 pounds and salt at 100000 pounds One

single contractor sent tins at the rate Of half

represented 100000 tins. In regard to liquids,
the list provided for $4,000 gallons of rum, 10000
OottieS OF whlskey, $4,000 bottles of port wine,
nearly 4OOOOO pounds weight of lime juice, vast
quantity OF "sparklets" for making soda water
and eighty tons of alum for purifying spring o.,
river water OF tobacco the quantity sent out by
the War Office for the four months was 10000

Once in possession of the necessary document the
stranded American felt relieved, knew that having
It in his pocket he could walk the streets with
out danger and could bend all his energy toward
getting home Hemmed in on all sides, there was
but one avenue Of escape, and that was by way OF
Holland and to that point all looked with long
ing. kilograms and letters, hundreds in number,
came daily to the consulate from people making
INQUIRIES as TO the prospects of procuring funds
and the whereabouts of friends and relatives.
QUESTIONS WHICH THE AMERICANS FIRED
AT Mr.. HARRIS.
"How can we find Mr.. Brown, whom we left al
Iucern ?" where can ] get some money on my
letter of credit? am broke with $4,000 in my
pocket" as there no way of letting my people
know where l am?" "Can l get passport for
my maid who was born in Ireland?" 81 want to
send a telegram but know German. Who vii!
write it for me?" where can | find cheap
boarding house? I've got to stay somewhere if
/ can't get away" And so the questions went on
from early morning until late at night.
Recognizing Mr.. Harriss position some Of the
stranded Americans volunteered their services at
&c consulate, and when Mr. Ives was taken away
and placed in charge of the British Consulate the
volunteer staff became really useful. On Angus:
s Mr.. Harris appointed them an advisor

Valentine P. Snyder, New York; Fred Vogel, jrr
Milwaukee; Sydney II. March, New York; Henry
A. Holder, Lynn, Mass; f. w. Strong, Cincin-
nati l. E. Emerson, Baltimore; n. c. Schlemmer,
Waco, Tex. and myself.
The initial meeting Of this board took place az
the Frankfurter Hof. Mr.. Harris thanked the
Americans for their willingness to assist him AMI
their fellow citizens, outlined the work to be done
under his supervision, and the next day the
committee met for organization and elected Nh.
Vogel chairman and myself secretary and treas
uTer.
The fact that il is not altogether safe thing
to hold meetings IN a German city which is under
martial law without first having the consent Of
the commanding military officer was demonstrated
at this first meeting, which had proceeded only
short time in a room of the Frankfurter Hof, gen
erously donated by the hotel authorities for the
use of the Americans, when a messenger appeared
stating that Mr.. Levi was wanted Answering the

"Nine men assembled there at the call OF the

AT wink from the inquisitor two detectives
who had been waiting in the immediate vicinity
where they could hear the conversation, walked
away and it was evident that the danger point
had been passed.
Further conversation developed the fact that

the police department had been informed that the
meeting as to which particulars were demanded
was Of Russians. Finally everybody shook
hands and smiled, and the nquistor went so far
as to say that further meetings might take place
and no questions would be asked.
The incident demonstrated, however, that we
were being watched and possibly suspected; and
to guard against the of the thrill pro-
noting experience the minutes of the first meet
ing and of the interrupted one were quickly trans
lated into German, attested correct by the
American Consul General ana taken to the police
department by the officers Of the committee, who
informed the authorities that they would furnish
copies of their minutes daily, or if the police de-
partment desired it, would BE- perfectly willing to
have representative attend the gatherings. For
five days the plan of transmitting TO the police
les of the proceedings carried out, and
then came the message: "You need send no more
reports of your meetings; ". have perfect faith
il. you, and Americans need no watching, anyway"
The spirit Of friendship for Americans was ap-
parent everywhere, and at a meeting of American
citizens which took place before the advisory
board appointed resolution was adopted ex-
pressing the appreciation of the Americans OF
Frankfurt's friendliness and hospitality. This
resolution was signed by DR.. Edward Robinson
