BARONESS TELLS OF VON KLUCK’S SWEEP Hundreds Unable to Gain Admit- tance to South Church ‘While hundreds of people packed the South Congregational church to its capacity and while hundreds of others unable to secure seats, stood in the aisles and crowded in the galler- ies, Baroness Frances Wilson Huard of France last evening related her personal experiences as she fled from her chateau from the on-rushing Ger- mans under the leadership of General Von Kluck. Her descriptions of the atrocious acts of the Germans and the harrowing details of the Battle of the Marne of which she was an eye witness, kept her large audience in a high pitch of excitement lhrougho\lt her stirring address. Using her voice in a manner which stamps her as an eloquent speaker, Baroness Huard so moved her listeners that at times many wept and then again a few minutes later loud bursts of applause could be heard when reference was made to some valiant deed. During the greater part of her ad- dress, the audience sat in darkness, as stereopticon views, taken by the bar- oness, were flashed upon a screen. Losing her beautiful chateau and giving up a life of comfort and ease the baroness was forced to travel on foot, to take refuge from the Huns. Two hours after she abandoned her home, it was taken possession of by General Von Kluck and his staff. How women and children, ranging from the ages of 10 to 75 years, were ill-treated by the Huns and how the country was devastated, was told by the speaker. Baroness Huard was dressed in black and her voice rang at times with patriotism and then pathos and svm- pathy, every person in the audience was moved. When a plea was made for raising a fund to help alleviate the sufferings of the wounded in France not a single person evaded doing his bit. The church was decorated with flags of all the allies and the High School Liberty Chrus, under the leadership of Prof. Matthews, sang patriotic airs. A sum which is estimated as the largest collected for the Red Cross at any single function, was secured. Baroness Huard is the daughter of Francis Wilson, the famous actor. Her husband, who has gained consider- able fame as an artist, is now in France in a precarious condition hav- ing been wounded in battle.

Newaygo, Mich.—“My little boy was in a delicate, weak, emaciated condition and had a cough so we had to keep him out of school for a year.

The president of the bank noticing that she had withdrawn all her funds cu- riously inquired if she was about to take a trip around the world. She caused much mirth when she told the banker that she had taken out her funds as a precautionary war meas- ure. Upon leaving the bank she saw something which brought home the realization that the land was at war. Three army officers, making maps of the country, passed by on bicycles. They attracted a great deal of atten- tion and were tréated with much cour- tesy by the peasants. On the first day of mobilization two of these three offi. cers were shot as German spies and ’ese decided to remain. Belgians, whom she fed and clothed, to leave her chateau and flee, as the GGermans were approaching. At this moment her telephone bell rang for the first time in four months. The frightened operator, who was at duty four miles away, told her that she had just received a military order to leave her post at once, and to smash all the appuratus before departing. She sald that a military motor was waiting to take her to safety. As she loved the baroness she disobeved orders and risked her life to tele- phone her to flee. Her parting words to the Baroness were ‘Good-bye, don’t delay too long and God bless you.” In spite of this warning the baron- Her servants, however, became restive and left one by one. Toward midnight the baron- ess decided to retire and fell asleep while the booming of the artillery could be heard a few miles away. About an hour later she was awak- ened by a terrible noise. The dogs in the yard were barking and some wo- men servants in the adjoining rooms were screaming. The baroness ordered silence. Putting her head out the window,she could see the form of a man standing at the door. Upon in- quiry she learned that he conveyed a message from her husband at the front. The letter advised her to leave the chateau at once and to go south but by no means to take the road to France. She obeyed and in about 20 minutes began a journey which 1,000,- 000 others had traveled during the previous few days. Enter Von Kluck. Two hours after Baroness Huard had abandoned her chauteau, General Von Kluck and his staff of officers made her home their headquarters. They remained at her residence ap- proximately nine days. The baroness and her party crossed thé Marne river, cold and hungry. The country for miles around had been devastated by the refugees that had gone before. All night long they trudged and in the morning they de- cided to sleep in the warm rays of the sunshine. Being refreshed by her sleep the baroness decided to seek a notary in a nearby town with whom her hus- t?e French are still looking for the ird, she said. After a conference as procedure, Baroness Huard and ~her husband decided to stock up with provisions and pay a visit to the near- est town. Because of the mobiliza- tion orders male clerks were conspic- uous by their absence. After making a few purchases they were advised to leave for home at once as the rail- roads, telegraph and telephone sys- tems were soon to be turned over to the government. The baroness and her husband were fortunate enough to catch the last train to run for months. to the best Offers House as Hospital. ‘Ten days after the order for mobilization her husband was called fighting at the front Baron Huard, who is na artist during his leisure moments painted many interesting pictures. These were exhibited by his wife last evening. Draws Money From Bank. ‘Baroness Huard began her address ng that she was an American by birth and French by education and marriage. Her adventures in the now war-ridden frontiers of France began in July. 1914, when diplomatic tions were broken with Germany. was at that time residing in her che teau with her husband which w uated but a few miles from the River Marne. Up to the time when diplomatic re- lations were broken, the mere mention of the fact that France would soon be in war caused laughter. Even after relations were severed many believed that it was only temporary and that the situation was not serious. A captain of the French reserves advised Baroness Huard to withdraw ‘her money from the bank and to flee from the vicinity.

Autos, carts, wheel- barrows, baby carriages and other conveyances were being used while thousands of the more unfortunate were traveling on foot. Almost ex- hausted and famished, hundréds of refugees, rich and poor, peasants and princes, lined up in front of her chateau while they were given bowls of steaming soup by the Baroness. The Baroness related a pitiful story of how a lad of 14 years! stumbled into her home one night carrying a heavy bundle in his arr The Baroness upbraided him for carrying the bundle. The lad told her that ‘““he was carrying his great- grandmother to safety, 93 vears of vear, war when force age and that he loved her dearly and that he did not want | the Germans to harm her.” He had | lay that she was | band had been very friendly. She lo- cated the man and was received by bim and his wife with much hospital- ity. Upon learning that she and her servants and five youngsters were flee- ing from the invading hordes they ex- pressed much surprise. No sooner had she finished her tale than a squad of French soldiers rode up to the door. of the notary’s home and commanded that they make room for them. They also said that the women must re- port for Red Cross duty at once. The baroness here saw the first men wounded in the world’s conflict. First two soldiers were brought into the hospi , then two more were carried in and then they were brought in by the hundreds. That night the baron- ess, while strolling through the streets, saw a sight which she said she will never forget as long as she lives. A white horse covered with blood gal- loped through the strects and stopped near her. On the back of the animal 2 soldier with his arms entwined about his charger’s neck—dead.

When she declined, he asked ion to secure some plctures for After much pleading she con- sented. Some of the snap shots taken by this boy were flashed on the screen last evening and showed the bloody fight. In one picture the boy could be seen standingdirectly in the path of the Huns as they were charz- ing. How he escaped with his life is a miracle, the baroness explained. Panic at Funeral, Leaving this town, the baroness and her party walked five miles further, . when they were attracted by the ! chanting of hymns. Upon investiza- tion they saw that a funeral proces- sion in honor of a prominent personage of the village was in order. After ng ready chter s met the in t as they serv- walked 75 miles and had rested but two hours since he began his journey.

Columns of smoke could be seen as a battle between the Eng- lish, French and Germans raged. While standing in the road cided as to which way to run, the buroness saw a group of French sol- diers rush by and hide in a nearby thicket. Wondering what was the cause of this, she waited and soon saw five stalwart German scouts ap- proaching. She held her breath she watched the men advancing to their death.

Upon Baroness Huard was attracted to a &athering up the bottles and counting spot where some French and English soldiers were tryving to talk to each other.
