REV. kRIEGER GIVEN
 CONDITIONAL RELEASE
New Britain Man Set Free in India Must Shift for
 Himself.

Through official government chan Mrs. Mary Krieger, wife of Rev. Fred erick Krieger, former missionary to British East Africa, that her hus bands release from a British concen- tration camp in India will he granted but the British government will as- sume no risks nor expense in connec- ton with his return to this country. The release was obtained through rep resentations made by Ambassador Page in London and on information and affidavits sent from New Britain.
 Despite the fact that Rev. Mr. Krieger was taken to India as a pre- cautionary measure and wholly against his will the British govern ment refuses to be responsible for his safe return to his family. It will neither grant funds nor transportation and, in fact, make his release condi- tional on his assuming all risks. It releases him on the spot and leaves him to shift for himself unless the necessary funds are forthcoming from his relatives and friends. As Itcv MT. Krieger is not a naturalized Amer | captured by the Germans returning to this country that he would be im- pressed into the Kaiser's service.
 Rev. Frederick Krieger, it will be remembered, was ordained in the Peoples church on Court street a number of years ago and went out to British East Africa as mission ary There he did fine work among f +1A.,, yxyh at 1pnAth h l1n TO turned to New Britain, it was to take a bride and return to the tropics for another period. He married Miss Mary Myers, daughter of William Myers of Camp street, at the Peoples church and the wedding and their departure for Africa was made a notable occasion. At length MT. krieger entered the government ser vice at Nairobi in British East Africa and became a famous big game hunter. He took a government con tract to furnish meat and game for the Nairobi station and when Colonel Roosevelt made his famous journey to Africa, Rev. MT. Krieger became one of his guides and companions on hunting expeditions. Recently in seeking his release by the British government, Colonel RooseVelt's aid was sought and it is understood the Colonel furnished an affidavit for this purpose.
 MT. Krieger's arrest and deportation took place some time after the war broke out, when the British became suspicious that anyone of German name or extraction might be hostile or engaged in the German secret ser vice. The fact that he was not q naturalized subject of Britain or an American citizen proved a hardship and made his release d matter of con- siderable difficulty.
