Former Miss de Haven, Wife Of
Baron Won Alien, Seeks
Special Act.
OFF HER CHILDREN
VIII Recognize Them Only When They
Quit Germany-ln Danger Of Be.
coming Destitute-$t5,ooo
a Year Involved.

New York.-Congress, through the
passage of a special act, will shortly be
asked to restore to citizenship the Bar
mess Augusta Louise de Haven-Alten,
the former Miss de Haven of New
York, who in 1883 married the Baron
Eberhard Won Alien, a German officer.
Caught in Budapest when the revolu-
ton broke out in February of last
year, the baroness, who is now known
as Mrs. Louise de Haven, was forced
to flee to Vienna as n German refugee,
and after many vicissitudes reached
Switzerland practically destitute. ON
money borrowed from a professor in
Geneva. a childhood friend, she reached
New York several weeks ago.
The question of the restoration of
Mrs. de Haven to citizenship was
taken up by the house committee on
immigration and naturalization and
she recently appeared before the COM
mittee and told her life story. Under
German law her personal property has
passed into the custody of her hus-
band and her interests in a trust fund
created by her grandmother, who IA
the widow of Admiral Abraham Bige-
low, U. S. ~, was seized by the enemy
alien property custodian. Her attor.
ney, Walter Bruce Howe of Washing
ton, told the committee that Mrs. de
Haven was inevitably and rapidly ap-
preaching restitution"
When very young Mrs. de Haven
went with her father to live in Swift
zerland and was brought up near Gene
va. On her nineteenth birthday she
married Baron Won Alien and went to
live in Germany. she had two daugh-
tiers, who are now married and living
in that country.
"NIy married life was not happy"
Mrs. de Haven told the committee. In
1910 she entered into a formal separa-
ton agreement with her husband. In
1911, she said, she left Germany and
has never seen her husband since.
Her Funds Here Seized.
Two years later she again brought
suit. This time she charged her hus-
band with misconduct. The war sus-
pended all proceedings, for the law
would not allow litigation against an
officer on active duty.
Mrs. de Ravens interest in the trust

had nothing to eat or drink on the
train"
Because they sided with Germany in
the war Mrs. de Haven said she broke
off relations with her children. She
added in her declaration that she
would recognize them only when they
came to this country and became citi-
zens.
ut Is certain" she continued, that
unless relief by special act of congress
in restoring me to citizenship is speed
fly afforded l shall be penniless and in
dire want before l can regain my citi-
zenship through the operation Of the
suit for divorce. OF the borrowed mon
ey, $1,000, I brought with me to this
country, only about $1,000 is now left"
Representative Isaac Siegel ques-
toned Mrs. de Haven regarding her
use of a passport as a German subject
when travelling out Of Austria. The
use Of a German passport, she said.
was against all her instincts, but there
was no other way for her to get out of
Budapest. She used such a passport,
she said, on the advice of Colonel
Yates.
MY only wish is to become an Amer
lean, to live over here, and, if possible,
to have money to live on. I am NOT
well enough to 90 to work. That is all
| wish. l do not care whether I get
my German money or not. All l wish
is to become an American, a good
American"

Girl Who Talks Too Much.

We do not go to the people who talk
all the time for helpful. inspiring
thoughts. The girl whose tongue
runs from morning till night without
stopping, does not have time to do
enough thinking to make her words
worth while. II is not necessary nor
desirable that we should speak only
when we have something profound to
say, but we should be on our guard
against the ceaseless flow of talk that
has no connection with ldeas.-Giris

Food Values Of Potatoes.

That potatoes differ widely I'm food
value is shown by a report of the gov
ernment's scientific committee. 1t is
laid down that the most useful potato
for food is one which contains the
largest amount of dry matter. Where
two varieties are practically equal in
this respect, the nitrogen they con-
tain enters into the estimation of their
feeding quality.

Sunshine.
