AMERICANS IN
EUROPE STRANDED
Hundreds of u. S. Citizens I'm
able to Get Passage on
Ocean Boats
By Associated Press

New York. March 15. - With hun
dreds of Americans in Scandinavian
ports anxious to return to their native
land, the Norwegian steamship Kris
taniaf1ord, which arrived here to-day
was obliged to sail without booking
passage for any of them, owing to the
concern felt by the owners over the
German submarine blockade. Officers
OF the vessel estimated there were l.
600 Americans unable to reach home
and the Kristianiafjord turned away
900 applicants, refusing also to carry
mails. She brought a general cargo
or $50 tons of merchandise.
One American citizen arrived on the
krfstlaniafjord, having boarded the
ship unseen and concealed himself
until the vessel was out of sight of
land. This stowaway was William e.
Cadmus, former Baptist clergyman,
and now New York exporter. Cad
mus took a cargo to Norway on the
KristianiafJord's last voyage over.
When he made his re-appearance on
deck on the trip back he was not dis
ciplined as stowaways generally are
but enjoyed the privileges of exclusive
occupancy of the cabin and was not
sent to the Ellis Island immigration
station on arrival here. The Kris
tianiafjord left Christiania, Norway
on January 2S.

TWO AMERICANS
HELD in GERMANY
Passports Refused Men, One of
Whom Is Regarded as a
Belligerent
By associated Press

Copenhagen, March IA. via London,
March s. - The detention of two
Americans in Germany, one of whom
at least is apparently classed by the
German authorities as a belligerent,G
reported here. James Moore, an AM
erican member of the crew of the un-
armed Norwegian ship Storskog which
was sunk by n German submarine, is
being held in an internment camp to-
gether with three Russians and one
British subject who were also men,
berS of the Storskog'S crew. The Nor
wegians and Danes who formed the
balance of the ships complement have
been released.
The second American held is August
Henning, of Chicago, a bookkeeper
in the Berlin branch of the National
Radiator Company. Mr.. Henning's
application for permission to leave
Germany and return to America has
been refused by the German military
authorities for the duration of the
war. Mr.. Henning's case is the first
reported instance of a definite refusal
by the German authorities to grant
permission for departure to an Amer
lean, the refusal being specifically
endorsed in writing as for the dur
alton of the war The significance of
Moore's case is that he has been. sub
1ected to the same treatment as cap
tured belligerents while all other neu-
tFdlS VINO were on DOaFu Ine SIOTSkOS
have been permitted to leave Ger
many.
Mr.. Henning was sent from Chicago
during the war to fill a vacancy on the
Berlin staff which had been depleted
by the mobilization of German en-
ployes. He had not left Germany
since his arrival and applied for per-
mission to return to the United States
after the rupture of relations. His
application had been submitted for
some time when the war office tele-
phoned the radiator company's Office
and inquired if Mr.. Henning held
responsible position. The reply was
in the negative and a few days later
his passport application was returned
with the above endorsement

Agents Are MuzEIed
This revelation came with spectacu-
lar force as the. charge that Captain
Karl Boy-Ed, the banished German
naval attache on the suite of the dis
missed Won Bernstorff, had been in this
city, or even at the present time might
be in hiding i'm this vicinity. The pub

the Department of Justice. Officials at
Washington busted themselves with the

The fact that Boy-Ed before being
banished from this country was on
terms of intimate friendship with Adal-
bert Fischer. the German naval reserve
officer doing q Government contracting

Government long before Fischer and his
wife were arrested and charged with
being the ring leaders in the Navy
