.EX-CONEY WAITER
DESERTS GERMANS
Surrenders to Organs Men
and Says Germany Impressed
Him Into Army in 1914.

It's a far cry from Coney Island to
the front line trenches OF the German
army. but the distance was closed re-
Gently on the western front when half a
dozen American boys OF the Twenty
seventh Division found a little bit of
Coney Island in the Kalser's army in
the person of private who before the
war had served some of the soldiers with
hot dogs and other things in one Oh
Coney's well known restaurants.
FOR obvious reasons the name Of the
herman private was not mentioned by
the American army officer who returned
to an Atlantic port yesterday and told
the story. but the facts we're these:
An American patrol OF the Twenty
seventh Division. commanded by Major
Gen. Organ and brigaded with the
British on the Flanders front, was out
In No Mans Land one dark night re-
Gently. The men were making their way
back TO the American lines when they
were hailed by a German outpost
Hey! Take me with you." was the
request
The American doughboys suspected a
trick and had prepared to offset 1t when
figure In a German private's uniform
came over the top repeating the plea.
Go on growled an American.
You're a Hun
II am not" was the spirited denial.
Il used to be a waiter in Feltman's at
Coney Island. I'm only wearing the
damned uniform. They made me. II
they hadn't got me I'd have been an
American by now"
welcome to our city" said a big
Irish American buck private Come
right along with u.s." and the patrol
brought the prisoner in. He insisted
he had been forced TO serve in the Ger
man army and that he had been In the
war since the beginning. He said he
had taken out his first American citizen
ship papers before the war started.
Then, he said. some months before
tho outbreak of hostilities he learned
his mother was in Germany very Ill and
having been an obliging walter he had
sufficient funds laid by to visit her
Early In 1914 he sailed and passed the
spring and early summer with his
mother.
There were mutter!ngs Of political IN
rest inn Germany. The Kalsers private
admitted he smelied trouble. suddenly
got homesick for Coney Island and
started "home."
Then Germany declared war and he
was seized and. according to his story.
was impressed into the army despite his
American papers. The Germans refused
to recognize those documents and he
saw service on many Of the fronts.
II was always looking for a chance
TO be taken prisoner and when It came
i grabbed It," he said.
The man gave the intelligence officers
all the Information he could and made
only one request.
Don't put me in the cage with the
Heinies." he pleaded.
The American officer who told the
story said that some OF the American
doughboys in the Twenty-seventh Divi-
sion recognized the man as a walter who
had worked in Coney Island before the
war.

FARMERETTES GAIN
IMPETUS IN DRIVE
Relief Worker Says They
Help Starving Abroad.

You've no idea how hungry we are
over there" Miss Sophia Carey of the
National Land Council of England told
crowd In front of the Sub-Treasury
yesterday. Miss Carey had charge of
the relief work in Belgium before Her
bert Hoover took the helm and knows
whereof she speaks when she tells the
people of the United States how neces-
sary II is for them to back up the farm
erettes OF the Woman's Land Army over
here that they may Increase the crop
output.
Tho women of England since the war
have reclaimed one and a hah million
acres of land that were Idle before"
Miss Carey said. And what English
women have done American women can
do. I think your women will surpass
ours In farm work as the movement
grows, for In addition to their splendid
physiQues they possess an adaptabilty
that's sure to bring success. They have
more initiative than English or French
girls and they are accustomed to doing
things.
But the responsibility OF producing
food doesn't rest alone on the farmerette
She must have the backing of the pub
lic their moral and financial support,
and for that reason we are conducting
Ills utNc ioT f,VVV,VVV supporting men,
bers for the New York State Woman.
Land Army. We in England and
France are looking to you for food. Six
million women and children have died
OF starvation over there. many are still
starving, and now that the American
shipyards have given you vessels 1t is up
to YOU to send us food"
John Curtis. farm bureau manager
for Westchester county, introduced Miss
Carey and told what a success the farm
lassies had been around his home.
Yesterday was a good day for the
Land Army drive. Several thousand dol
lars In membership fees were taken in.
The Four Minute men began speaking
In moving picture houses and farmer
cites In overalls pervaded office build
ings and hotels
All the workers passed part of their
time telling folks that this drive is
not for farmerettes but for supporting
members. An idea seems to have gone
forth that every one who responds to
the appeal has to take up the hoe and
the rake. Not SO. The girls who handle
the hoe and the rake are asking the pub
lie to rally to their support with their
names and a little money with which to
.endow training schools and farm camps.

propaganda a generation hence
would certainly make Roadway
among a people in whose veins
flowed Teuton lust and Teuton
thirst for brutality. The reaction
has been against their own women.
1t is no secret that morality, as we
know it, has almost ceased to eXis..,
in Germany. The mission of women
in life is to bear children That is
their only mission. 1t matters not
who fathers them, provided only
each offspring comes into the world
with Hun brutality branded on it's
soul. To strike down the natural
defences of woman, to tear from her
the veil of modesty which God gave
her, to reduce her to the status of
the she-wolf and make her wholly
and utterly vehicle for the propa-
cation of the race is an avoWed Hun
purpose. That is his view of his
own women, and Heaven only
knows into what depths of degrada-
ton he would drive the womanhood
of the rest of Europe were victory
to perch on his shoulder
1t is because the government has
from the beginning grasped the i'm
portance of maintaining every
where the social standing of women
that it has put into effect practices
for their protection such as no 9TH
