Reported to Have Fought
With Germany.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE Duchess of
Croy's efforts to secure her French for
tune which was sequestrated by the
French government the outbreak Of
the war because her husband was a
German army officer, met with additional
delay and further legal entanglements
today when the referee of the court at
Valanciennes announced he could not
decide the nationality Of the Duke of
Croy and put the case up to a higher
court.
The Duchess of CrOy, before her mar
rage, was Miss Nancy Leishman, daugh-
ter of John G. Leishman of Pittsburgh,
one Of Andrew Carnegie's partners, and
later American ambassador to Turkey.
Formerly the Duchess lived in Paris,
where her entertainments we're the most
brilliant Of tfhe American colony. Lately
she Is said to have been living in virtual
poverty and upon the bounty Of her
husbands family.
The Duke Of Croy made the claim that
he was not Of German birth, consequently
the 100000 property owned by himself
and wife in France should be returned
by the French government.
He contended that he was a Belgian
subject. The Duke and his two brothers
served in the German army during the
war, according to evidence given the
French court. Counsel for the govern
ment, in opposing the REIMBURSEMENT of
the Croy property, said he possessed a
letter alleging that one of the brothers,
Antoine, accompanied the German Uhlans
into Roncq during the war, where he
"insulted girls and INDUCED in shocking
orgies"
