HE HAS GROW TO
PICK With KAISER.
Sergeant at Meade, Though
As, Gets Into Service for
Personal Reasons
HIS FATHER FLED
GERMANY YEARS AGO

CAMP MEADE, Admiral, Ma, sept. Q.
Sergeant Raphael Conn. OF the medl-
cal supply depot who got into the
army in spite Of his 10 years, came with
a vow he took years ago not TO miss a
chance To tight against Germany, no
matter what nation might wage the
war. Conn has a little family quarrel
with the Kaiser's empire that dates
hack 10 1913 His father, Ions dead, was
a Bavarian Of that party that sought to
save Germany from the blight or Kali
serlsm and prussianlsm. A price was
nut -upon his head, but along with
other lberty-loving Germans, he fled TO
this country.
Conn sought adventure wherever he
could find il. and IN Central America
he found the life he enjoyed. As the
agent for the United Fruit Company
az the Bluenelds Steamship Company
and later in business for himself ne
made the acquaintance Of many OF the
statesmen and leaders Of those tropical
countries. Generals and Presidents were
his personal friends. As for war. ne
saw lot Of that and some Of his clos
est friends fell in battle or from bullets
in mysterious hands. In spite Of the
| large German interests there he mad
little trouble in keeping the anti-Ger-
man organizations with the upper hand
More than once he has advised leaders
to pass on 10 Washington Information
/ they had and always. he said, back
/ from Washington came the encourage
/ ment that was needed TO increase the
! feeling Of unity Of the people Of thi'
continent.
Conn has seen enough OF revolution:
10 know how they start, and as an OBJ
server Of such movements, he feels thai
the people Of Germany Will find h'
WAY 10 carry out a revolution. He feels
certain that the two Kaisers VIII b'
overthrown IN less than a year and that
the Allied march TO Berlin will be
march Of triumph, with the people wei
coming the armies as deliyerers.
