LONDON, Aug. 21 (Associated Press) —Dr. Franklin Martin of Chi- cago, who left here a week ago for Munich to bring out his niece, Miss London to-day with Miss Stone. Dr. Martin tells a story full of in- teresting exnpriences on the Conti- ment. He attempted first to make his way to > nich by way of Paris and Berne, Switzerland, but was not suc- cessful. He was unable to proceed be- yond Paris. Stories related to him of the hardships endured by Americans marooned In Germany impelled him to make an second attempt, and in com- pany with John Moran of New York, whose wife was last heard from in Munich, Dr. Martin started again through Holland. There he fell in with &. Bergmann of New York, who had ust spent sree days in an English Prison at Winchester, owing t his §1- @bllity to prove his American citizen- a@hip. Dr. Martin says of his experiences: “We, as Americans, had little dim- culty In passing through the German dimes, but Mr. Bergmann was st sy-d until finally he exhibited his release from the English prison, upon which ts photograph was pasted. “At Crefeld, we secured an automo- { Bile to take us to Cologne. Through ‘the offorts of Mr. Bergmann who, ‘Upon arriving at Cologne, learned ‘that 600 of his automobiles in a fac- tory in Berlin had been com- mandeered by the government for ‘War purposes, we secured the neces- sary permits to proceed. We reached Munich Sunday and found to our im- mense relief that Mrs. Moran and Miss Stone were still in Munich. “In the meanwhile, the military authorities had ordered that no more gasoline be sold to non-combatants, AMERICAN CARS ARE TAKEN BY THE TROOPS, Several American cars in Munich fhad been taken by the authorities ‘when their owners revealed their existence by appealing for fuel. “Mr. and Mrs. Moran decided to remain in Munich, but Miss Stone and I left Monday with, ae I sup- posed, only two gallons of gasoline in our car. We had determined to keep going as long as possible. “Once safely out of Munich our en- terprising chauffeur revealed to us, covered by blankets, several cans of the precious fluid, enough to got, us half way to our destination. “During this journey we actually Were within the lines of the German army. At one point, between Cologne and Crefeld, we passed intrench- ments being rapidly thrown up by thousands of troops. Intrenchments extended on both sides of our high- ‘way and as far as the eye could reach there were masses of troops with field guns and munitions. Mov- ing in the direction of Belgium, be- tween Cologne and Bingen, was a continuous line of troops, provision ‘wagons and ambulances. “At Frankfort 6,000 French prison- ere were pointed out to us. We ap- peared to be the only persons travol- ing who were not soldiers or officta! and the journey was a continuous thrill, as we momentarily expected to be deprived of our slender stock of gasoline, “Our fearless chauffeur worked his siren and passed the caravan of war at a rate of forty miles an hour, “At Coblenz we bad to make our ‘way through enthusiastic crowds who ‘were watching the passage of trains loaded with Belgian prisoners. We constantly met ambulances filled with wounded soldiers, WERE ASKED FEW QUESTIONS BY THE GERMANS. “It was a constant source of won- @er to us that we were not asked oftener to explain our presence. Only a re intervals were we requested to show our papers, and when it was seen that we were Americans we were greeted with studied courtesy. “We arrived in Cologne Tuesday night, after having run 260 miles dur- ing the day, We pushed on to Cre- feld. The highway was congested with guns, ambulances and munitions of war of all kinds. At only one time did we seem to be in real danger; this was n two soldiers pointed their guns monacingly at our heads as our deliberate chaulfeur took bis time in stopping on their orde: st stage of our return jour- ney was the most difficult of all, As we were travelling on a war highway, in the immediate rear a great battulcdeld, we were stopped dozens of times, Our success itn getting through was due largely to the re- gsourcefulness of our chauffeur, Among other things which helped us Munich Toward London, See Funireds of Btone, also of Chicago, returned to pei leéng From success tn a securing ICAN FLAG, my trip and the ex- is Stone in Munich, as safe in Germany os lew York, We did not erican flag, because were not entitled le to make the trip ' being profoundly im- tle thoroughness of the PreparationiGirmany is making for abet conti y that can arise on “The mc! of the people was in- spiring.
