PARIS. FEBRUARY II. pm.-Ameri-
cans arriving here from Berlin today
by way of Bern and Pontarlier, on
the Franco-Swiss frontier. say that
Hartwig Devisen and wife. who were
residents of Laporte. Ind, some years
ago, are being detained at Pontarlier
until their identity as American citi-
zens can be established The Devisens
arrived at Pontarlier Wednesday night
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Devisen were born
in Germany. and Devisen, it appears,
was taken to America by his parents
forty years ago while yet a youth. Both
had American passports issued by the
State Department. Devisen had been
manager of one of the branches of the
National Bank of Germany in Berlin,
and had lived there for fifteen years
Devisen and his wife were on the
train which took Ambassador Gerard to
Pontarlier. When the train arrived
there Ambassador Gerard. being re-
sponsible for the persons in his party
and their baggage. said that the De-
visens were not members of his party.
They were then detained by the au-
thorities.
Ambassador Gerard said today that
he had told the French authorities that
Devisen personally was unobjectiona Bile
and expected that this would facilitate
their proceeding. The case is peculiar
one, as the. Devisens left Berlin because
they were considered Americans, and
yet they are not. allowed to proceed
through France. because they are con-
sidered Germans.
