Western Newspaper Union.) I am an American citizen of French extraction, my name being L'Honimetlieu. In America I have always been called "Lommedoo." Both my father and mother were born in France, and I cut not only French In appearance but speak French fluently. In 1014 I was traveling abroad and was in Berlin when the world's war ! broke out. I hurried to the foreign ofliee to get my passport put in order to leave tier| many, but was obliged to wult several days for it. While waiting I formed the acquaintance of a man named Walker, who claimed to be an Anieri : mu. The duy I received the passport, oi> returning with it to my hotel, I met him In the office. I was so pleased that I told him all about finally being permitted to leave Germany and he congratulated me warmly. He asked me when I would leave and I told him ' that I would go "the next day on the only through train that ran between Berlin and Brussels." The next day, when I reached the \ station, I was met by Mr. Walker. He, was currying a suitcase and told mci that he was going on the train. He j , took me to a compartment of one of the coaches, In which there were eight t seats. Six of the seats were occupied and Walker and I took the remaining, two seats. Then the guard?we lu Amerlcn call him the conductorlocked the door. As he did so I saw a look of intelligence pass between him and Mr. Walker. What It meant 1 had no idea. i At the first stop several passengers j got out and the guard locked the door ' at once, preventing anyone else from| ! entering the compartment. Within an j hour after leaving Berlin Walker and; the remaining passengers, excepting! one man and myself, got out. The; iiuiu ? fin v.i u uru (iiiu i i | odly tried to induce the guard to let ! them enter our almost empty compart-; j inent; hut he kept It locked, evidently \ helling them Ills reuson for doing so. j which I could not hear. As soon as we were off again the I 1 sole remaining passenger In the com-' I partment besides myself took out a' cigarette case and offered it to me. I took a cigarette and he another. 1 noticed that he helped himself from; | the other side of the case from which; ! I took my cigarette. I leaned back In: ; my seat, and feeling very comfortable, j closed my eyes, and in- a few minutes j - fell asleeD. I was awakened by the guard nr.: nouneing that we were at the border j i and "all out." He was obliged to give I me a good shaking before arousing me.\ I was alone, the other passenger hnv-1 departed. I seized my hand baggage, and went to the room where pussen- j J gers were showing their passports, or i I their permission to leave Germany. | and put my hand in my pocket to take j i out my own passport. It was not there. As soon as I could get an officer's, attention I told him I had been robbed1 of my passport. He asked me my nai?e. and after an Investigation told me (lint a man named I/Homraedieu had passed out. | Then I knew that my fellow passenger had put me to sleep with a cigarette prepared for the purpose and taken my passport. I was taken back to Rerlin and helo on suspicion of being a spy till I had convinced the authorities that I was: what I represented myself to be, then, with the assistance of the American minister, I was permitted to leave Rer-, lln. and after great difficulties at last found myself at my hotel in Paris. A few days after reaching the capital of France I received a card which bore the name of a noted French statesman. Wondering if there were not some mistake, I went to the salon to meet him and found a man about my size and build, though he would not he mistaken for me. "Mr I/FIommedleu," he said, "I hn.e been waiting for some time for you to register your name at a Paris hotel. I am indebted to you for getting me out of Rerlin. where I happened to j he. unknown to the flerman government. at the breaking out of the war ; and I desire to crave your pardon fo* having caused you inconvenience. "Inconvenience!" "Hear me. A friend of mine who passed under the name of Walker knew of jour trouble about yonr pnssport. It occurred to hint that you and I were about the same size, our eyes and lialr were the same color. Under my o\?n Identity I could never get ?') of Berlin. Walker engineered the plan to rob you of your passport. You would only he delayed, while I would be considered an important capture and would sufl\ r a long Imprisonment, and heaven knows what other torture. Walker guided you to the compartment we neeupieil. Those who occupied it were sympathizers." "You bad no right to give me so much trouble." F protested. "That ! acknowledge, and I have conic to remunerate you. I am an influential man?" "I know who you are." "If there is anything in the gift of the French government that you desire. it shall be yours." I told him that I desired nothing but to get home to America. But. appeased, I added that I was glad to he of serv; lee to the country in which my parents i had been horn, i And bo we parted frienda. PRESENT FOR PRESIDENT / .C'.
