given foreigners for leaving the city.
Our conductor. Mr.. Dixon, decided
that 1t would be better to leave that
night, so he engaged compartments
for us. Our immediate party con-
sisted of twelve people, but he had
managed to get together two other
wings of the Bartlett party, so in all
we numbered thirty.
AT the station in Berlin baggage
was piled two stories high and instead
of securing our reserved car 1t was
each one for himself, hand baggage
included. 1t was impossible to get a
porter, so we were obliged to carry
our own hand baggage or leave them
behind us. Each one of our party
succeeded in getting, or scrambling,
on the train and happy If we had an
end of a suitcase to sit on during the
night. Many were obliged to stand
the entire night The train was sup
posed to go direct to The Hague. but
at Rhein, on the German border, we
were hustled into another train and
our baggag- examined by the custom
officers. There we left our trunks and
thought we would not see them again.
AT Oldensall. on the Holland bor-
der. we were invited out again and
passed through the custom house. We
were here for six hours, not knowing
or having any satisfaction as to when
we would get away. At last a train
came and we thought our troubles
were over and now we would surely
get to our destination. but at Amerrs-
ford the train stopped, each door
thrown open and we heard 'heraus.
The train was Immediately filled with
soldiers and we waited patiently for
hours when a train took us to Amster-
dam, and another train, the last one,
as we heard later. took us to The
Hague. We arrived here at 10 p. NJ.
after journey of twenty eight hours
and having one meal during that time.
1t seemed like going home when we
reached the Bellevue Hotel, which we
had left only short time before. We
felt, like the Hugenots, that we had
reached haven, and although the
mobilization of Hollands soldiers took
place the next day we felt no fear,
only protection.
There seems to be a general belief
that Americans were not treated with
proper respect and were even, brutally
treated. AS far as we could see, all
officials were very courteous. True,
some were not over obliging. but we
must remember that everything was
upset and out of the ordinary. Surely
none of our party had any fear for
their personal safety. It was largely
matter of inconvenience and hard
ships. Our ambassador, Judge Gerard,
and Mr.. Van Dyke We're particularly
active and thoughtful for all.
