HELD FOUR MONTHS BY FRENCH

Paul Remiers, singer, OF Berlin
Paris and London, who will appear
before the Tuesday Morning Music
Gale club in Omaha, spent four
months as prisoner OF the French
in a concentration camp in the
Pyrenees mountains.
Although Reimers underwent this pun
ishment on account OF his German ma
tionality. at the Fontenelle yesterday
he bewailed the accident OF appearance
and training which has led many persons
to believe him Frenchn1an OF Belgian
and caused some German newspapers to
assail him as a man who has abandoned
his native country.
As you see, 1 am unfortunate enough
to have such an appearance that many
persons think I am French or Belgian,
said Renters sadly. "I am German and
I sympathiEe with the Germans. But there
are some German editors who have seen
articles describing me as French or Bel
gian and they have said I am an out
cast from the Germans. II is truly
not So"
Renters speaks French and English
with almost perfect accent as well as
German. He Is blond. wears a short
mustache and Is OF medium size.
Tells of Term in Prison.
The singer told OF four months of the
horrors of French concentration camp
IL was located in an abandoned convent
lie was eventually released through the
intercession OF Prince Henry of Batten-
berg, England. to whom he wrote and
who secured the influence OF the king
OF Spain Ia his behalf. The manager
OF the camp. however, held back his re-
lease for three months. and Il only came
TO light when he died OF apoplexy.
Renters has with him a miniature
typewriter which was the cause of his
arrest, while touring with party OF
English friends in the Pyrenees.
There were 600 men and an equal num-
Der OF women and children in the camp.
said Renters. They were herded to-
gether like animals. compelled to sleep
on straw without blankets, although the
mountain air was extremely cold They
were forced to do hard labor and Remier
had dire experience i'm the business of
breaking stones and cutting wood. There
were no provisions for sanitation or COM
fort of any kind
The manager OF the camp was a bully,
who threatened to kill any who should
disobey, said the singer.
