NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1917 e CONGRESSMEN TELL OF EXPERIENCES Were Under the Fire of the Enmey in France Recently New York, Nov. 27—Eight members of the Congressional party which left the United States on Oct. 15 to visit the battlefront in France and Bel- gium returned yesterday to an At- lantic port on' an American liner and procceded to Washington. They were three weeks Europe. The con- gressmen were exposed to German rifle and machine-gun fire several times and narrowly escaped being hit. Representative William S. Goodwin of Arkansas said: “I talked with prominent French and British officials, as well as the military chiefs of the Allies in France, and none of them, including Lioyd George, appeared to have any definite idea as to the probable dura- tlon of the war. I got the impres- sfon that if the war did not end by next spring it was likely to go on for three or four years more. Lloyd George informed me at a luncheon that the Allies considered Russia out of the war. “Henry Frankiin-Bouillon told me he had no doubt the Allies would win in wWew of*the ald of the United States. ‘When the war started the Germans fired 100 shells to 1 by the Allies. Noaw the Allles fire 20 shells to the Gemmans® 1. The British and French hewe ample ammunition to keep the Germane on the alert all through the ‘winter.” Mn, Goodwin sald the morale of the in France left nothing to be desired, and the health of officers and. zoen, including the American forces, was very good. ‘Representative Daniel V. Stevens of Nebraska said the party wsited the front from Switzerland to the Channel, & distance of 1,600 miles, traveling' mostly at night by sutomobile. “The jowrney occupied thirteen daye,” he continued, ‘“‘and was made without lights on the cars, as it would have been dangerous otherwise. We ususally stopped traveling at dawn and pesumed after dinner in the evening, Although it had been made clear that the visit of our party to the front was not official, we enjoyed every pourtesy from the Bnglish, French =nd Belgian Governments. “Twice during the tour, at Vimy Ridge and again in Flanders, while Inspecting the trenches, the German snjpers spotted our party, and, assum- Ing we were visitors out of the ordin- ary, welcomed us with a shower of lead, which fortunately did not hit anybody. At Vimy Ridge the enemy not only used rifles in firing at our party, but also turned a machine gun battery loose, and for half an hour we. had to lie low in a trench until the firing dled away. Then we moved on. Another member of the party, Clar- ence C. Dill of Washington, who acted as chairman on the trip, said: 'We are going to give the benefit of our experiences to the next con- gress, and will do our best to tell our colleagues of the actual condi- tions.” ‘The other members of the party were John F. Miller and Albert John- son of Washington and Charles B. 4 Timberlake and Edward D. Tayvlor of Colorado. in ‘Willtam: Fortin, charged with non- support, whose case was continued from last week, was put on probation [or an-indefinite pertod in police court FOOLED BRITISH, AND IS INTERNED Former Artillery Officer of Kaiser Bill Is at Ellis Island New York, Nov. 27—Wilhelm Stein- forth, known also as Peter Stevenson, who during the first year of the Euro- pean war was an officer of artillery in the German Army, and who was captured by the French during the 1915 Champagne drive, was in- terned on Ellis Island by order of the Department of Justice yesterday. For some months past Steinforth, under the name of Peterson, has been em- ployed as a teacher of German in the Franklin School, a private school for boys at 18 West Eighty-ninth street. Before his internment said he was 27 years old. Steinforth He speaks English like a native and has a knowl- | edge of the Scandinavian tongues, by which he was ahle to pass as a Nor- weglan when he fell into the hands of the British, afber his escape from the French prison camp near Ro- chelle, France, today. He has secured a position in Landers, Frary and Clark’s. Steinforth was in this camp for only a few weeks before he escaped. He tunneled under the electrified barbed wires and managed to get to a French port, where he stowed away on the British freighter Portland, then about to sail for New York via Bermuda. For six days out the Ger- man lived on chocolate cake. Not once during these days did he have a drop of water, and was on the verge of collapse when his presence on board was discovered. At Bermuda the captain of the Portland turned the | stowaway over to the British authori- | ties. Steinforth said he was a Nor- weglan, and edded a pathetic yarn to account for his action in trying to make America as a stowaway. He was believed, and a few days later sailed for New York. He met friends who provided him with funds to re- fit himself with good eclothes, hearing that a teacher of German was needed by the Franklin school, ap- plied for and was given the position. Captain Franz Rintelen, the Ger- man naval officer, who in 1915 came to the United States to Instigate strikes in munition plants, and who is now serving a sentence for his part in that conspiracy, was arraigned in the Federal Court yesterday to answer an indictment charging a conspiracy to defraud the United States by frau- dulently obtaining a State Depart- ment passport in the summer of 1915, Jjust before he sailed for Europe under the name of ““Gasche.” He was cap- tured by the British and sent back to answer the charges agalnst him. When arraigned before Judge Mayer vesterday Rintelen, through his at- torney, George Gordon Battle, entered a plea of gullty. Judge Mayer sen- tenced him to serve one year and one day in the Atlanta Penitentlary, the sentence to begin as soon as the pres- ent one is finished. Charles E. Gerlach of Brooklyn, a civilian second officer employed in the transport service by the Government, who was recently court-martialed on Governors Island and sentenced to five yvears' imprisonment in Castle Willilams for refusing to do lookout duty while passing through the sub- marine zone, was brought before Judge Augustus N. Hand In the Federal Court yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus. Gerlack insists that es a civilian he is not amenable to military law, and that the Gov- ernors Island military court was with- out jurisdiction. Judge Hand ad- journed the proceedings until Friday morning, when Assistant United States District Attorney B. A.

In addition, let us, as a matter of per- manent policy, keep our strength pre- pared for our own defense. In order to do this, let us insist that every right cnjoyed shall carry with it the obligation to perform the correspond- ing duty. Inasmuch as ths first duty of a nation is self-defense, let us insist that, in our democracies universal suffrage shall go hand in hand with universal service, and thercfore with obligatory universal training of our voung men in time of peace so that they may be fit and ready to defend the hearthstones of the nation in time of war.” Colonel Rooscvelt declared that what had been accomphshed by the Canadians and by their sister colonies was without a parallel in history. “You and they,” he said, “have sent your stalwart sons in hundreds of thousands across the vast oceans to fight on flelds of ancient fame which their deeds have rendered still more famous. It has been & proof of the vision, of the power to look ahcad conditions, to diminish the likelihood of future wars, and to restrict thelr limits it they break out. As regards Canada and the Unifed States, I think the time has come when we should declare that no possible question can arise which cannot be determined substantially as questions between the various states or provinces are deter- mined, at Washington or Ottawa. | “As regards some nations I question | whether as yet we can trust the fu- ture solely to even the most carefully devised treaties—lest in any real jemergency we suddenly discover that they are regarded mcrely as scraps of paper. Therefore, on the general matter of securing lasting internation- al peace, I feel that probably our ac- tion ought to be two-fold. Wie ought, Wwith entire sincerity, to take ecvery step which makes it likely that there- | by the chances of future war will be | minimized. But we should treat this action as an addition to, and not as a substitute for, preparing in advarce |to guard our safety by our trained | strength. Let us in good faith enter into all reasonable treaties which will render it less likely in the future that the peace of the world will be broken. But let us not trust too much to pa- per guarantees. “Let us, ourselv make no and to sacrifice present ease for large futurc interosts, which is possessed only by peoples that are mighty of soul. You have made your bodies the servants of your souls’ desire. “I did not accept any invitation to speak lormaily in Canada until the entry of my own beloved country in- to the war, gave me the right to come here with pride, as an equal speaking to equals; for now, friends, your coun- trymen and mine have.a common duty | and the same single purpose. The duty incumbent on both of our nations is to fight this war through to a finish, no matter how long it takes and at no matter what cost of life and treas- ure, until wc win the peace of over- whelming victory. Our common pur- pose is to break the offensive strength of the Prussianized Germany of the Hohenzollorns, 80 as to redeem Bei- glum and secure ample atonement for her wrongs, so as to restore to France what Germany took from her so as to free every people now tyrannized over by Germany or by her vassal allies, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. When the world is safe for orderly freedo, for all the free peoples great or small who live justly under the governments of their choice, then, and not until then, our purpose in this war have been achieved comes, we must endeavor to make it lasting; and in order that we may be oven measurably successful in this endeavor, we must show both sincere desire to realize an ideal and also sound common sense in the course we follow to that end.” OCANADIAN WHEAT. ‘Washington, Nov. 27.—Canadian wheat is pouring into the United States duty free through every cus- toms district on the northern border in largely increasing volume, the de- partment of commerce announced to- day.
