PEACE
ENTHUSIASTS AFTER
THE GERMAN EMPEROR

San Francisco, April l9.-Represen-
tatives of the International Bahai con.
gress, which began here today, shortly
will De sent to European capitals for
the purpose of converting to the Bahai
cult Kaiser Wilhelm, King George,
President Poincare, Gar Nicholas and
Emperor Franz Josef in the interests
of universal peace.
This was the assertion here today Of
Charles Mason Remy, Washington, D.
c.; G. 0. Latimer, Portland, Ore, and
II. y. Ober, Calcutta, India, delegates
to the Bahai peace congress.
Already, they declared, overtures
have been made to the king of Wurtem-
burg by Major Consul Schwartz, of the
German army. As early as last Sep
temoer, according to Latimer, Major
Schwartz was endeavoring to convert
the king of Wurtemburg, who is subor
dinate to the kaiser, and who, if he is
won over, may be the one to approach
wilhelm.
Remy and Latimer were in Germany
when the war started Both witnessed
some of the early campaigning. They
declare that Major Schwartz is in
charge of the Bahai propaganda in the
German army, that he has won over
many soldiers of the kaiser legions,
and that scores of Red Cross workers
are influencing wounded men to join
the Bahai and follow the teachings of
Abdul BAHIA and BAHIA O'AlIah, who
founded the Bahai movement in Persia
in 1851.
The Bahai convention will hold daily
meetings here this week. Among the
speakers are Mira Ali Kuli Kahn, of
Washington, and Hooper Harris, of
New York. The Bahai has vice presi-
dents in every European capital and in
many parts of Asia and the Orient.
Remy is its American representative.

b. c., war prison.
Believing the United States will not
return a political or military refugee
to the country from which the escape
was made, WOlert had secured work
at West Seattle, when a United States
immigration officer arrested him Sat
urday. The charge against Wolert was
that he entered this country without
being examined, and it is known that
the charges came through activity of
Vancouver officials.
Has Thrilling Experience.
Wolert's story of his thrilling ex.
perience in running the gauntlet Of
Canadian troopers to freedom in this
country, was told Thursday to a Seat
tie Star reporter. He was promised
the papers protection.
Upon learning of Wolert's arrest
Saturday, the Star prepared to bring
habeas corpus proceedings in the fed,
eral court. In the meantime, Mrs.
Hendrietta Kelly, at whose house the
boy was staying and by whom he had
been engaged to cut wood, telegraphed
to the immigration officials that VOL.
ert had $40 in cash and a $50 contract
for work. With this showing, Wolert,
the inspectors decided, was entitled to
admission to this country and the fact
that he had previously entered ia with
ont examination was not held against
him.
This is the second time Wolert' S lib.
erty was jeopardized by United States
immigration men. When he first
escaped, he had succeeded in crossing
the border but IA miles south of the
line was picked up by Tnited States
immigration officer and turned over to
Canadian official. Wolert. however
jumped off the train four miles within
the United States.
Has His First Papers.
According to information presented
to the immigration inspectors at Sumas
today, Wolert has his first papers to
become an American citizen.
Wolert was imprisoned at Nanaimo
shortly after the outbreak of the war
when the Canadian government accused
him, along with many other Germans
of being spy. He had worked in the
dining car department Of the c. P. r,
for two years.
