All About Them.

London, Nov. 25.-Part Of the Amer
lean Red Cross contingent which was
in Belgrade when the Austro- German
forces captured the city arrived here
to-day. Others in the party went di-
rectly to Rotterdam, the whole party
returning in the Nieuw Amsterdam.
Among those who came here were DR..
". A. Wolley, Mrs. Hattie Biddle and
Miss Sophie Weber. all of Colorado
Although they continued TO work
throughout the terrific bombardment OF
the Serbian city. none of the members
of the contingent was even injured.
The buildings all about them were
RACED.
All the members of the unit which
left Belgrade on November were worn
out, after months of heavy work under
the most trying circumstances. Prac-
tically all their cases were surgical,
there being no typhus in the northern
part Of Serbia. Their little hospital
handled an unending stream of wound
ed soldiers during the last few months.
Long before the Germans began the
occupation of Belgrade a great part Of
the population had begun to retreat
south under the severest difficulties,
for railway service had been criDDled
by the movement of troops.
Asked how severely Belgrade had
suffered from shell fire, DR.. Wolley
said: 81 can't say word about the
military phase. The Germans met and
subdued the most stubborn resistance,
so you can imagine how greatly Rel
grade suffered from the bombardment.
We were treated well and the Red
Cross flag was respected by ALL

Heinie Schultz, deserter, stowaway
and late German private, told a new
kind of story last night. 1t was a
rather grim narrative Of the man with
a country, and of how he had endured
starvation and fear Of death in his
struggle TO make himself man with
out a country.
Considering that it was the story Of
himself and Of his months at the war
front, his revolt against the cruelty Of
war and his spectacular escape, still
dressed in the German uniform, it

he said. But he spoke in a fat, dead
tone and without a sign of emotion.

you talk about my country" he said,
without ferceness. at is the place
where they would have me die, that's
all. 1t doesn't care about me; ! don't
care about it, either"
Still gaunt from his months in the
trenches, twenty-five years old, but
shrunken and aged, Schultz, as he
spoke, was in the custody of the
Dutch freight steamer Noordcrdyk, on
which he left Holland as a stowaway,
after escaping from the war front and
through the entanglements along the
Holland frontier. Yesterday the ship
was locked at Hoboken, and when
she sails back he will probably be
taken along, to be handed over to the
English. But Schultz doesn't want to
go.
