Mexico Quits City After
Brief Stay.
Is ON WAY TO HOLLAND
Gets Parting Look at Hoboken
Piers Which Once Belonged
to Germany.

The glowing accounts which he mus.
have received Of Holland A. health

Heinrich Won Eckhardt. formerly I'm
perial German Ambassador to Mexico
who left America for Rotterdam yester'
day on board the Holland America
steamship Nisuw Amsterdam.
It is understood that he will take ur
temporary domicile in the neighborhood
Of Amerongen and will there offer q

colonial possessions OF Germany II
was he. as the historians will remember,
who was entrusted with the mission oil
making them German after Mexico had
been permitted to hold and play with
them for q while.
As he clambered aboard the steam.
ship yesterday he wore an old gray
suit and travelling cap and had the as
pect OF one who might be considering
whether the explanation he had devised
would make convincing listening to the
ears for which he had prepared It,
Three Tons of Baggage.
He was accompanied by his wife and
three children, three tons or 90 Of bag
gage, and Johannes Brulow. who once
had a Job as Imperial German Consul
General. 90.
He. ana his party. arriving by. train
from the South. had spent the night at
New York hotel and were accompanied
to the steamship pier by squad OF
Department of Justice men. They were
not permitted TO speak to anyone while
their guard remained with them and
boarded the vessel by a gangway TO a
lower deck. 1t-was explained that they
would be required to keep their rooms
until the ship had passed outside the
three mile, limit, when the run of the
ship would be theirs II they found them
selves wanting company and exercise.
They crossed the ferry from Manhat-
tan to Hoboken in two automobiles with
the Department. of Justice agents at
tendant and were not allowed to speak
to anyone along the pier as they passed
from their conveyances to the ship.
Piers SAD Reminders.
The pier itself was up to very recently
one of the embarkation points whence
hundreds of thousands of American col
diers went overseaa Hard by II are

and Won Eckhardt and his party looking
out over them could see them peopled
with United States sailors and soldiers
and could see the American flag pendant
from the STATS of former German pas
senger and merchant ships.
The party. however. did not leave this
country entirely without somethisE in
the nature OF spoils Of war. One OF Won
Eckhardts children. a little girl OF the
age of or s. wore blue sailor hat
with a ribbon lettered U. 8. Navy
upon 1t, and. pinned to her jacket. a
celluloid button painted with the Amer

Whether those things will hnd an
eventual place In the trophy room at
