COUPLE FROM U. S.
HELD IN FRANCE
Subject to All Manner of In
decencies Before They
Secure Their Release

Paris. Correspondence of The As
sociated Press). Difficulties for
Americans travelling on the Continent
are increasing. Walter Morse Rum
mel, the American composer and pi-
anist 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 submit
ted their papers to the French Con-
sulate General in London and had re-
ceived safe conduct to Paris. TheV
had an American passport and n per-
sonal letter from Mr.. Thackara, the
after their arrest at Dieppe. AL
though nothing suspicious was found
they were detained in a hotel over
night. The next morning Rummel
was taken by gendarmes through the
streets, followed by children calling
and his wife were locked up in prison
until the next morning. Rummefs
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
piece of stale bread and a piece of
cheese. Rummers fellow prisoner was
an Apache who confided to him that
he had just stabbed a woman. Rum
mel had at every stage of his eX-
periences explained who he was and
demanded that the authorities should
inquire at the American Embassy in
Paris. Luckily he had been able to
send a telegram to the Consul General
in Paris before being interned. He
and his wife were released therefore
after forty-eight hours detention al
together, upon representations of the
American Consul in Rouen.
Mr.. Rummels father and grand
father were British. His mother was
the daughter of S. f. B. Morse. the
inventor of the telegraph; Rummel
during a period when his father was
there on business. He was registered
as British-bo at the British Consul
late. His parents went to America
when he was three years old. After
the death of his father his mother
eesumed American citizenship. Young
Rummel was entitled to take his
mothers nationality and did so. The
circumstances that he was born in
Berlin appears to have drawn upon
him the suspicion that he was Ger
man.
The American Embassy has gone
fully into the affair and has made rep
npon 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
Eanizing funds for musicians.
