Le $1 pore THE EVENING WORLD, Sana packed like cattle in ‘slow moving trains, dented food and de- jnied heds—of such experiences were ‘the tales of the Laconia’s passengers woven, Nor was the trip over from ero the least of their adven- tures, So weird was the course Capt. | W. R. D, Irvine followed that he will |not reveal how close to Greenland the Laconia passed. He admitted, after his ship was safe in Quaran- tine to-day, that no transatlantic ship in his knowledge had ever fol- lowed #0 northerly a course, The Laconia was escorted out of the Mersey and for a day down the Irish Channel by her giant sister of the Cunard line, the Aquyitania, converted into a cruiser scout. According to George Doran, the New York pub- lisher, who was @ passenger on tho Laconia, the Aquitania had been ruthlessly butchered inside and out in order to make her a ship of war. Qn tho wharf at Liverpool, he said, lay exposed to the weather beautiful paintings ripped from their frames in the salon, rich panels and uphel- stery out of the smoke room and tho restaurant. They looked as if they had been hacked out with axes and crowbars In an extremity of haste. Long guns were mounted on tho huge steamer’s bow and rear decks and quick-firers poeped out from decks which a few days before had been the promenade of wealth. MADE TO LOOK LIKE A 8$CANDI., NAVIAN LINER. Once alone on the see's highway the Laconia set about converting her- salf into the guise of a Scandinavian Lino ship. Tho stack was painted black with a red bana, and all the superstructure was changed to a dark brown. The ship ran without lights at night until Saturday night, when proximity to the American coast made @ continuance of this practice extra hazardous. So cold wes it because of the extreme north- erly course that many guffered great discomfort. Tb night at 11 o'clock came the final surprise when the passengers who wore stirring naw that ahead of them lay tho lights of | were touring Germany in their car. Atlantic City. Why Capt. Irvine dropped down the const that far he did not reveal to-day. The conditions aboard the Ceitic, which got in Saturday, were repro- duced on the Laconia. Many men of means were in the steerage, but all of the women who had the right by their gtation in Ife to be in the cabins were put there by the courtesy of the men, A well known New Yorker occupied a first class cabin to himself all the way across. LITERALLY KICKED ACROSS THE BORDER, HE SAYS. Perhaps the most vivid experience of the many narrated was that of Lee Kohlmar, a New York theatrical pro- ducer, who had gone to Berlin to ar- range for the production there of “Potash and Perlmutter.’ Here is his story: “I was in Hagsum, a Uttle German town near the French border, when war was declared between Germany and France. Because I had been over- heard speaking French to some fellow travellers I was arrested and taken before a military oMfcer..Though I in- sisted I was an American, the fact that I spoke French fluently would not down and when they took my camera from me and, developing the film pack, found some fine pic- tures of German fortifications, my heart was going at a pretty high rate. They even took away @ notebook I had filled with business memoranda and treated the pages with acid look- ing for some secret writing. flag | might drape across my breast a bullet would still go through them— and | agreed with him heartily. | was kept thirty-six hours in jail and then taken to the border. There | wae very literally kicked over. | wae profound- ly happy to get across, even with a kick under my coattails.” Mrs, J. T. Harahan, the widow of the late President of the Ilinois Cen- tral Railroad, accompanied by her niece, Miss Martha Harris of Mem- a maid as well. “We had gone from Berlin to St. Petersburg for @ short trip," Mra, Harahan sald, “and the Russian pa- pers, because of the etrict censorship, said so little about threatened trouble that not until Austria declared war on Servia did we realize our position, I sent my mald—s very competent sirli—on to Berlin to get our baggage wi “A German offloer said that no mat- | (t ter how many folds of the American phis, Tenn., lost all of her baggage and | together; then Germany declared war on Russia, “Miss Harris and I hurried to $vea- borg, the Finnish port, and there got A little boat to Eopberg in Denmark. We had no baggage except what we carried in our bands, At Espberg further progress seemed hopeless un- til | was told of a little provision boat that had no passenger acconimoda- tions, which was about to leave for Harwich in England. We took the boat and sat up all night. Though 1 sent a dozen messages to Berlin from St. Petersburg and London I have not got a trace of my maid and I fear she ts in great difficulties.” EXPERIENCES OF THREE CLER- GYMEN, Three clergymen, who wero dele- gates to the Church Peace Confer- ence at Constance, Germany, had to submit to a lot of chaffing by their fellow passengers. They were the Rev, Charles 8. M of the Federal Cou of Christ in Americ: the Rev. Fred Lynch, Secretary of the Carnegie Church Peac and the Rev. Sidney TL. Dosshisha Co . The Rev. McFarland came over in the at . He said that the day their peaes con- ference opened in Constance extras appeared on ie streets telling of the coming of wa Mias May E. TShetky of Philadeiphia told of the panic and tramplin, fush of passengers aboard the Eo gila Channel boat at the Hook of Hol Shp had been In Warsaw, Point, when war came and buried to Berlin without her baggage. From the German capital she managed to get to Amsterdam after groat hardships; thence to the Hook of Itolland, where the English boat lay. “The crush when the boat dropped her gangplank was something I nover forget,” suid Miss Schetky, “The Ag given, ‘women and cbildren put that was disregarded the minute the gangplank was shoved out and there was a mad fight by men and women alike to get aboard. Many women, and children were trampled and others had their clothes nearly torn off. With hundreds of others, I had to stand up all the way to Harwich. Many nen fajnted or became hysterical u r the ordeal.” John G. Luke and Mrs. Luke, whose home {sx at No. 190 Riverside Drive, Their chauffeur, Arthur Monom, had accompanied them until at Nurem- berg the whole party were arrested. The tires of the auto were ripped off in the search for secret despatches and the machine was confiscated. Be. cause the chauffeur was a Belgian by birth it looked for a time as if he would be made a prisoner of war, Finally, after six hours in jail, he managed to convince the authorities of his American citizenship and he accompanied the Lukes to Paris and London.

Because he had 150 Germans on board, bound from Lisbon to Germany to serve in the army, our captain kept well out of his course.
