Among the 1,100 passengers on | board the crowded Scandinavian liner United States as she swept into New York harbor yesterday morning after one of the most eventful trips of her history, were Representative Peter Crona and Carl Lorenzen of this city. Representative Crona owes his good fortune in crossing to the fact that, before the war broke out, he had ex- | changed his steamship ticket for pass- age on a boat ,which. left a week earlier than he had originally planned. Accompanied by Rev. G. E. Pihl, pa tor of the Swedish Bethany church, and his daughter, Miss Esther, he left this country June 23 on the Lusi- tania to visit his parents and step- daughter, Miss Esther Ericson Crona. It was during his stay in his native land that he arranged for accommo- dations on the boat which carried him across the sea, instead of the Oscar II, which was to leave one week later, August 14. Had Big Offer for Ticket. The United States carrled 200 people more than usual when she left Christiania, Norway on August 7. The representative says that wealthy and aristocratic “people, who class, were obliged to take places in the third class owing to the crowded conditions. They seemed content, however, he says, knowing that they were enjoying a privilege which many others had offered high prices for. his ticket just before ledving. Lifted Mines From Steamer's Path, The United States was not molested or its trip to America, but received raany warnings from sister She had ‘great difficulty in getting started however, owing to the fact that the Danish government took off cne-half the crew, while the boat was loading at Copenhagen, and mobilized them. A Danish navy officer piloted the craft out of the Copenhagen harbor, which is well filled with dan- gerous mines at present. In some in- stances, it was necessary to raise the mines out of the water to allow the steamer to pass. This was an experi- ence which the majority of the pas- sengers would gladly have avoided, many being In constant fear that a single stray explosive might be over- looked with the result that the ship would be blown up. Warned Agalnst British Fleet. | Two nights after putting out to sea from Christiania, where M. Crona got on board, the United States was warned by the Hellig Olav to be on the lookout for a British fleet near the Shetland sllands in the North sea. The wireless operator on the Hellig Olav told that his ship had been stopped and inspected by officers of the fleet, causing consider- able inconvenience. mainder of the voyage, the United States frequently received advice from other ships regarding the loca- tion of the belligerents’ fleets, Clergyman Desirous of Returning. Mr. Crona last saw Rev, Mr. Pihl in Orebro, Sweden, about two weeks before he set sail for this country. The .pastor was then en route (o Stockholm.

Daily newspapers do not reach Hjorted until several days after they are printed. The pastor stated then, that he was planning to get passage on one of the-boats which were to sail early this month. His daughter is in Arvika, at present, the guest of Miss Crona, a former local young lady. Mr. Crona feels that he was for- tunate in having purchased his re- turn ticket in this country, because he might have been without funds if he had waited to buy it after the beginning of hostilities. He says that, as soon as Germany declared war on Russia, the money of any country other than Sweden was worthless in Swedish banks and would not be accepted. He met many wealthy stranded in Sweden - upon leagning that their money had no value there. The representative met Mr. Loren- zen on board the United States. The florist had purchased a ticket for the second class, but on account of the circumstances, was obliged to come across in the steerage class.

Next day 1 hired a horse and cart to take us over frontier to Verviers. Three other Americans were with us. Passed Pitiful Procession. “On the road we passed the most pitiful procession of German refugees fleeing from Belgium. Some were in vehicles, but the majority were trudging in the dust, pushing or pull- ing their baggage in carts. Women with babies at the breast were walk- ing under the noon day sun. “From Verviers we proceeded by another cart toward Liege, We had not progressed three miles when we came upon a party of Belgian en- gineers engaged in mining the road. They had great piles of dynamite stacked there ready to plant in the ditches they were digging across the roadway. They advised us we had better go to Liege by another road; we hastened to do so. Halted By Skirmish, “Two hours later another party of Americans were halted at that very spot by a skirmish between the Bel- gians and Uhlans, They were forced to e in a ditch while the ‘Belglans fired over them. Next day 3,000 Ger- mans were killed by the mines we had seen the engineers planting. “We arrived at Liege at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of August 4 and managed to get a train for Brussels two hours later, But we did not leave before we heard the thunder of the forts’ cannon repulsing the first onslaught of the Germans. The town was cold with fear.” Other passengers on board the Fin- land said that Mr, Patten has bought steamship tickets for nine stranded E. R. Weeks, Jr, and his sister, Miss A. L.

One of the shots went true, the pursued man threw up his hands and pitched headlong from the top of a four-story building to the street. He was a German spy, the soldiers thought. A little later they saw a mob rip the clothing from another German suspected as a spy, and beat him till soldiers wrested him away. Next day the victim was shot as a spy. Served as Nurse, The Rev. ¥. C. El of German- town, Kas., whose mother and sister are natives of Liege, served a short time as a Red Cross nurse, he said. While he was thus engaged Belgian officers visited his mother and sister and demanded his arrest, character- izing him as a German spy mas- querading an American priest.
