Soldier of Fortune
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
HOBOKEN, N. j., Oct. 31.-Four-
teen-year-old Charles Conner of
Chicago, who traded so cents and an
affable personality for an 5000 mile
adventure which included a nearly
disastrous swim in the North Sea,
returned from the war zone today,
an adolescent soldier of fortune.
He arrived with 1929 other pas
sengers, 437 of them United States
citizens, aboard the Holland
America Line steamship Statendam
out of Rotterdam.
Young Conner, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Marlowe Conner, said he ran
away from home in mid-September,
with only half dollar in his pocket
hitch-hiked to New York. attempted
to enlist in the United States Army
and finally slowed away aboard the
Holland America liner Zaandam.
Reported as Stowaway.
The youth walked up the crew
gangplank, remained on deck until
the pilot was dropped and then re-
ported to a ship officer that he was
a stoWaway.
Between spells of seasickness,
Conner washed dishes until the YES
sci was halted by British patrol of
The Downs, in the North Sea, for
inspection.
The Zaandam rode at anchor for
nine days. and one comparatively
warm night Conner decided to end
the monotonv by swimming to
shore, q. miles away.
Slipped Into Water.
Fully clothed and wearing a life
preserver. Conner slipped into the
water One mile from his goal he
was stricken with cramps. He called
for help and boat crew from the
nearby Holland-America freighter
iowa rescued him. He was re-
turned to the Zaandam by British
patrol boat, and went to Rotterdam
where he remained in Jail until the
Statendam sailed.

observers said.
One was near the Belgian and
Netherlands borders. another in the
Haardt Forests north of Wissem-
bourg. then around Baden. then in
the Saar area, then back to the
Belgian border sector and now in
the Black Forest.
BY keeping the initiative and
maintaining the threat of attack
through these swift concentrations
the Germans are forcing France
and Great Britain into counter
concentrations, these onlookers said.
and thus any arrangements for an
allied offensive are made extremely
difficult.
German-Swiss border restrictions
were tightened recently, although
three passenger trains still run daily
and peasants of both countries are
permitted to cross to fields over the
boundary.
The Germans recently erected a
high wall on the frontier road,
hiding part of the defense system
once readily visible from the Swiss
side.
