TRAVELLING MAN
TELLS OF HOLDUPS
AS A GERMAN SPY
B. Hoffman of New York En-
tertains Hotel Guests with a
Recital of Experiences at the
Hands of Canadian Officers

B. Hoffman of New York fur sales
man, who was in the city Monday MAX
ing his headquarters at Hotel North,
told an interesting story to several of
the guests of the hotel concerning an an
noying experience which he went through
Monday. May II, when he was held up as
a German spy. Mr.. Hoffman came to
this country when ne was 10 years Ole
and for the past 20 years has been an
American citizen.
He states that on the above date while
on his way from Newport, Vt. to Derby
Line. VT, he was obliged to go through
section of Canada. He bought his
ticket at Newport and was sitting in the
car when a man in civilian clothes sat
down beside him and commenced to
question him as to his opinion of the
war. This man proved to be a Canadian
officer and soon charged Mr.. Hoffman
with being a German spy. The latter re-
piled that he was q Jew and an Ameri-
can citizen and that his home is in New
Brunswick, y. J. The officer said prob
ably his sympathies were with the Ger
HiaHo' "ASiSupoii -Ai. iiOtiihdli ESpSsitso
that he was an American citizen and
cared nothing what happened to the Car,
Kaiser or Kings. The officer then said
that he must place him under arrest.
After a long and annoying experience
Mr.. Hoffman convinced the ofncial that
he was an American citizen on his way
from one station in the United States to
another and he was finally released.
He was obliged later in the day to re-
turn over the same route and this tine
another officer threatened to arrest him
for what he had said in the morning and
caused him considerable annoyance
which Mr.. Hoffman resented as being
unnecessary.
