ESCAPED FROM GERMAN PRISON,
Victor Waltonen Relates Hardshlps
In Getting Out OF Detention Camp.

Victor Waltonen, son OF John Walt
omen, Finnish resident OF this place
for many years, told a reporter OF the
hardships he encountered in getting
clear OF German detention camp and
getting to his fathers home in Crys-
tai Falls.
Victor was sailing In the Baltic
when the war broke out. He Is a
young man OF 20 years and remained
In Finland when the family came TO
this country.
He was captured by the Germans
at the beginning of the war. and be-
ing a Russian subject he was placed
In detention camp. Victor was un-
able to say where the camp was To-
Gated, as the prisoners are kept In
ignorance OF their location
He says that he was harshly treated
while in camp and made TO work
hard in the fields and at whatever
work came up. After eighteen long
months in this prison he got out and
made his way overland across the
country TO the sea where he managed
to get aboard a Finnish-Russian boat,
II was necessary for him to hire
out as a sailor to get passage on the
boat which was bound for Port Ar
thur, Texas
The young Finn made up his mind
that he would desert the boat at Port
Arthur. but how to manage the affair
was difficult to determine, as he did
not know word OF English. and he
was bound for a year to service, and
should he be caught In making the at
tempt at desertion he would be rough.
ly treated
However, he decided that he could
not be treated any worse than he had
been in Germany so when he got 4
Port Arthur he went at once to the
Russian consul and from him learned
that there was one Finn living II
Port Arthur and he went to biz
countryman's house.
The young man was without none!
and his countryman couldn't furnish
him any. so a letter was written b,
this Finn to the father, John Walton

predicament.

Envoy of German Government Of

Boston, Mass, April 16.-Mayor
Curley caused a sensation at a patri-
otto mass meeting by asserting that
an emissary of the German govern
ment .offered Charles M. Schwab
$1OO,00O,OOO if the Bethlehem Steel
company would cease making NUM-
tions for the Allies.
The Mayor said he got this infor-
nation from Mr.. Schwab himself
about two weeks ago at the launch
ing of an Argentine steamship at the
Fore River yards in Quincy. Mr.
Schwab told him, he averred, that
the offer was made two days before
congress declared that state of war
with Germany existed.
"And this big American who stood
for the great principle of the Repub-
lie, refuseoN added the mayor, amid
applause.
The meetinls was for the purpose
of stimulating Recruiting. After it was
over, Mayor Curley was asked for
further details of the bride offered to
Mr.. Schwab, but he said he had told
all he knew about 1t.
