RISK IS RUN
Of ARRESTS
BY TRAVELLERS
In Foreign Countries Owing to
Campaigns Being Waged
against War Spies.

PARIS. Dec. 16.-DlGlcultics for
Americans travelling on the Continent
are increasing. Walter Morse Rum
mel. the American composer and
pianist who has been living for many
years In Paris. and his wife, formerly
Therese Chaigneau, a French pianist,
were arrested at Dieppe recently. sus-
pected Of being spies.
They were returning home from
London where professional engage
ments called them. They had sub
mitted their papers to the French con-
sulate general in London and had re-
ceived safe-conduct to Paris. They
had an American passport and per-
sonal letter from Mr.. Thackara. the
council general. They were search
ed after their arrest at Dieppe. Al
though nothing suspicious was found
they were detained in hotel over
night. The next morning Rummel
was taken by gendarmes through the
streets. followed by children calling
out that he was German. Both he
and his wife were locked up in prison
until the next morning. Rummel's
cell companions were two persons ac-
cused of theft.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rummel were trans
ferred by train to Rouen, imprisoned
there in cells. the floors of which
were covered with filth and the walls
with obscene drawings. They were
there six hours before being able to
buy a piece of stale bread and a
piece of cheese. Rummels fellow
prisoner was an Apache who confid-
ed to him that he has Just stabbed
woman. Rummel had at every stage
OF his experience explained who he
was and demanded that the authori-
ties should inquire ut the American
embassy In Paris. Luckily he had
been able to send telegram to the
consel general In Paris before being
informed. He and his wife were re-
leased, therefore. after forty-eight
hours detention altogether. upon re-
presentations of the American consul
in Rouen.
Mr.. Rummel's father and grand
father were British. His mother was
the daughter of S. F. b.. Morse. tho
inventor Of the telegraph; Rummel
happened to have been born in Ber-
lin during period when his father
was there on business. He was re-
gistered as British-born at the British
consulate. His parents went to
America when he was three years old.
After the death Of his father his
mother resumed American citizenship
Young Rummel was entitled to take
his mothers nationality and did so.
The circumstances that he wes born
In Berlin appears to have drawn upon
the suspicion that he was German.
! The American embassy has gone
fully into the affair and has made
representations to the foreign Office
upon the indignities Mr.. and Mrs
Rummel suffered. They have spent
most Of their time since the war be.
gan in hospital and other charitable
work in France. particularly in or.
ganizing funds for musicians.

This Is especially true in connec-

THE HOUSE We LIVE IN

THE part that environment plays Il
j determining the life Of man al
ways has been recognized - import
ant. Within the term environmsn,
are comprehended many elements
both natural and artificial In genera
during the formative stage Of exist
ence We can do little Of ourselves e
alter our natural environment; In fact
at that stage We can do little to changl
our artificial environment. that being
entirely within the power Of others
our parents especially.
UnQuestionably there are wide dif.
ferences In the influence exerted upon
the individual man BY natural environ.
'ments-the sea. the plains. the noun.
tains and other natural wonders: but
they have more to do with his mental
or intellectual constitution than with
his physical being. Yet his Intellectual
stamnai. II not his mental traits, IL
powerfully Influenced and affected by
his artificial environment indirectly
through their influence upon his phys
ical condition. That IL to say, II he
has q sane mind at birth. It will be
made more secure in 4 sound body.
Somebody has said that the child
must first be good animal; which is,
Of course. only a harsh way Of saying
that his parents owe their frst duty to
their offspring as an animal-they
must do all within their power to give
him good start in life along the road
to health.
From the cradle to the grave most
potent influences In securing and per-
petuating health are fresh air and sun
shine. Hence, well ventilated and well
lighted houses are a prerequisite to
bodily health. and though these are
more readily accessible to the rural
than to the city denixen, the
former has generally placed legs value
upon them and taken less pains to 60
cure them for himself and his family
than has the latter.
The time will come when in the rural
the relation Of home arch
lecture to health win be more gener-
ally appreciated than 1t is at present.
When that time comes windows open
top and bottom. the sleeping porch. the
screened I'm porch. the bath rooms and
he indoor sanitary closet viii have
places in all dwelling house plans. and
he farmer who omits or disregards
hem will stand low in the esteem Of
his fellows.
