IN TWO ARMIES OF ALLIES
Deserted Both Teuton and French and
Joined Belgian Forces.

The record of Max Kohler, a clever
and crafty German, aged twenty-six,
who made a brief appearance at Marl-
borough street police court, London, is
interesting. His record follows:
Served in the German army and de.
serted.

years ago.
Married an English girl six months
ago.

Worked IN the west end and was
again arrested when he admitted that
he was a German.
Kohler speaks English, French and
German huently.
At the age Of twenty Kohler was
called up for service IN the German
army, but after few weeks service
he deserted from the army and made
his way to England and then to Amer

occupations. He Is an electrician by
profession, but he has been a sailor, a
mechanic, waiter, pantryman, fit-
ter and an associate Of criminals.
From America he went to France
and for some time lived in Paris,
where he was captivated by crime.
