 ESCAPING HUN
(Copyright, 1919, By The Interna-

LcHuOn, June Z5.-A year aSo ter man submarines were ruthlessly sinking defenceless passenger boats and hospitals ships with their car goes of human souls. Today retri- button is swiftly overtaking the wild beasts responsible for some of the blackest and most callous crimes in the history of the great war.
 Already General Leman von Sand CTS, the Hun commander in charge of the German forces in Palestine, who ordered the massacre of thousands of Armenians is under lock and key, and now the British authorities have ar rested other German officers who will be brought before an English tri- bunal for the innumerable tragedies which they perpetrated. Three of these men are at present { in the Tower of London, and they will be kept there till such time as a Court of Inquiry investigates their records and gives them the justice they deserve.
 The principal prisoner Is Captain Lieutenant Won Ksiserwetter, who was apprehended by the coastal pa trols off Falmouth, and if half of what I have heard Is true then the Government is to be congratulated on the detention of a man who Is credit
 
 ties on the high seas.
 The public is manifesting a deep interest in the presence of -Von Kali serwetter and during the weekend hundreds oI spectators stood on the Tower Bridge and watched this Hun commander, believed by some to be the Prince of Pirates being exer- c!sed in the Courtyard under as es- cort of fixed bayonets.
 In appearance he is slimly built sandy complexioned, and with a light mouste che and small grey eyes. As he walked to and fro between four massive Scots Guards, Won Kaiser wetter threw occasional glimpses al the London fathers and mothers who, as they scrutinized the Hun, recalled with horror and indignation the fiend- ish crimes of which he Is believed to be one of the chief authors.
 A Clever Capture.
 Won kaiserwetter did not appear to realize his position and a smile cross ed his curled-up lips now and then half in scorn. half in amazement at his critical audience. Once he stop ped and seemed to ask a question of the escort, but was promptly told to move on, and with his fist clinched behind his back strode on till it was time to remove him to his quarters which were situated close to the his toric block on which the ill-fated Queens of England lost their heads and crowns.
 Here is the full story of Captain Lieut. Won Kaiserwetters arrest and a sidelight on his record as it is known to the British authorities. One afternoon recently a neutral boat was boarded by naval officers in fcla gers were closely examined. Among them was a man of about three and thirty years, who was dressed in a smartly-cut civilian suit. His Teu- tonic features were unnistakable and he was at once invited to explain his presence on the steamer.
 In a courteous voice, he replied that he had come from Spain, where he had been granted a safe conduct passage to return to Germany. Mean time, however, he had hoped to stay few days in London, and with this object in view he had addressed some of his personal baggage to the cloak room at Paddington Station. This was supposed to contain his uniform and different articles composing his naval kit.
 When asked to give his name the stranger did not hesitate, and declar- ed that he was accurately described on his passports.
 He was taken ashore at Falmouth, where 1t was decided that he should be handed over to the authorities at London. Accordingly he was brought to Whitehall, and there cross-ex- amined regarding his past and what part he played in the war.
 A Hateful Admission.
 The officer who interrogated tho German had before him a minute record which gave chapter and verse of the detained mans adven- lures.
 You were a German Naval Re- serve officer at the outbreak of the war;" he was asked.
 That Is so,' was the answer.
 And when hostilities were begun you were detailed to the U56?''
 The German nodded but the next question took the Teuton off his guard.
 Your submarine was responsible for the destruction of hospita, ship?"
 Won Kaiserwetter hung his head, torrent of fearful memories flashed through his mind. What nightmares had the query resurrected?"
 You are right" he answered with a LOOK as much as to say T only did my duty"
 The interview at Whitehall was brief and to point, and a quarter of an hour later Won Kaiserwetter wa, driven in a taxicab to the Tower of London, where he was notified that he would be detained pending further inqueries.
 A search of Von Kaiserwetter's lug gage showed that he had been stop ping at the leading Spanish hotels. | And this is how Won Kaiserwetter found himself in Spain.
 The U56 which Kaiserwetter, com manded entered the harbor at San lander in May last year, seriously damaged and with some of her crew wounded after a sharp tussle with a British destroyer. The encounter took place close to territorial waters, and 1t was only Won Kaiserwetter's choice of breach of neutrality which saved him and his fellow Huns from certain disaster.
