FLORIDA NEGRO HAPPY
IN JAIL IN C03L=HZ

The following clipping was sent to
The Times by Claude c. Jones Of Ar
cadia from Coblenz. 1t is the story
of a Florida negro who, after living
eight years in Germany, is perfectly
contented now in the American mill
tary prison at C0blenz. His name IS
James Harry Smith and he comes
from Fernandina He talks a queer
mixture of German and English and
he is responsible for the statement
that the German people celebrated
the sinking Of the Lusitania more
than any other event of the war The
story was written by Parke Brown,
foreign correspondent for the Chicago
Tribune
Coblenz, Fen. 25.-(By Courier to
Nancy He would rather he a pris-
oner in the American military police
stocloade than a free man on the
streets Of Coblenz.

years in Germany and has had enough
Of it. At the first opportunity he isl

When the United States entered the
war he started for home and got
from Frankfort to CobIenz. but here
he was stopped. and his experiences
during the ensuing twenty months
persuaded him that jail among what
he calls his own kind is preferable
to shifting for himself among the
Germans.
