E. J. Williamson Writes About His Stay In the German Capital, From Aug. 1st to Sept. 8th. A letter has been received from br. Edward J. Williamson, professor of modern Janguages in Hobart College, Geneva, N.Y., telling of his experi- ences in Berlin, Germany, where he was until the ! of this month, Af ter war was declared, he had a couple {of personal interviews with the head of the German foreign oflice, who pro- mised. to do what he could to get him out of the country. Dr. Williamson s petition was supported by letters from Profs. M. Meyer and Pasylesonester, of "the University of Berlin, and by Dr. Drichster, of the Amerika Insti- tut. It was based on the fact that Pr. Williamson "'was engaged in spreading (Lerman culture in the Unit: jed States," being head of the German | department at Hobart Coflege. It | seemed strange that he should be pre: vented from doing what the German | gove ernment seemed most eager to {have done. Irom their own account, the war was forced upon them and it | was "the holy desire" to maintain this "culture and to confer upon the world | the benefits of the same which led | them fo take up arms. 'I'hat was | what the German press was continual {ly telling the people. | Finally Dr. Williamson explained his case to the American ambassador lin Berlin, and was given a passport which placed him under the protection of 'the United States, on the grounds (that he had resided m New York | state for mine years and had net vot- | ed" in Canada during that period. The | German foreign office vised. this pass- port without demur. 'lhree days lat- er he left Berlin on h special train, with others, and reached Ihe Hague | the same evening (September Sth). Krom there he proceeded to London, [Via KlushingFolkstone, reaching there on September 1Uth. He had great luck in securing passage to America. At Cook's tourist office, which he vis ited immediately after landing," he | was told that someone had just turp- ed in a first-class ticket on the SB. | Camerania, to .sail next day from I'his ticket he seeured, and it took him just thirteen days to travel from Berlin to New York with out having his passage arranged be forehand. A couple of hundred dol- lars in hand came in very handy Dr. Williamson says that while in Berlin he was not molested mm any way by the German authertties. He went about night and day pretty much as in"peacé time. Many British subjects, especially those of military age, were imprisoned, and others had to report to. the police every three [| days.

Acting under the advice of the militia department at Ottawa, the young Russian confined to Fort Henry for some few weeks, was allowed out on parole, on Wednesday. As soon as the prisoner of war left the fort, he was taken in charge by Isaac Uohen, of the firm of Susman & Cohen, who gave him a place on their stalf. According to the story told by the young man, he was born in Russia and when a young man went to Ger imany for the purpose of getting an i education. 'I'wo days before war was deelared in Germany, the foung man, with a number of . others, sailed Yor Canada. © When he arrived at Montreal he was taken in charge by the military | authorities and sent up to Kingston, {where he was to remain until the war was over. When placed under arrest at Mont- real he was asked if he came from | Germany and he said and" for that reason he was held as a prison er of war. Wnen the affair became known hy the loeal Jewish people, Isaac Cohen, head of the Jewish organization in Kingston, went over to the fort and after having a talk with the prisoner laid the matter before the miditia de- partment. at Ottawa, ¢with the result that the young man is now free and has a good job. ves, Was An R.

The Different Captains Will Report On the Work Of the Teams -- A Joyous Time Being Looked Fo: "Help the war fund. give." This has been Kingston's motto for three days. No citigen has been' able to dodge the question, even if he had an idea that he could, and judging by the response given to the appeal, it does not appear as if any person wanted to ignore the close to-night, with a grand public rally in the city hall, and the mea who have given up their entire time for the three days, collecting the money, are looking forward to a great time .of rejoicing. The final summing up will:take place to-night, and it is believed that the $50,000 aimed at, will have been realized. Each of the tem captains will be talled upon to give a detailed ac- count of the collections, and each report will be a very: interesting one. It is expected that the city hall will be packed to the doors, and citizens who would like to get a good seat should be on hand early. A musical programme has been ar- ranged which will provide a rare treat. The meeting will be one of canvass, The men who undertook the collection have carried on the work in a most creditable manner, and to them all praise is due. Notes Of "The Campaign. lhe rain on Thursday did not at off dampen the spirits of the collectors for the patriotic fund. hand at the Board of early Trade rooms in the morning, secured ed in the work all day long. The Board of Trade rooms prosonted' another busy scene all day with work- ers coming and going all the time. During the day quite a number" 6i subscriptions were received .at the oflice. 'A citizen who did not care to have his name published sent in $5 to be credited to A. Strachan's team. Asked by the Whig, Thursday noon, U. A. Warburton, the organizer, stated that he felt sure'the amount asked for, $50,000, would be realized. It is also the opinion of the workers that. the amount aimed at will be realized. At the big public meeting to be held to-night, in the city hall, citizens will have an opportunity of putting in ad- ditional subscriptiofls to swell the fupda. A stranger in*~he city, "on day morning, happened to walk along Ontario street near the fire station and caught a glimpse of the card in the hall reading 'War fund; give, give, give." It attracted his attention and ne walked into the station. "I haven't got much to give, but 1 want to help a little," he said to Capt.Frederick Reid. He then put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a twenty-five cent piece amd gave it to Capt. Reid. "It's not much," said the man, "but it will help some." An interesting feature of the big meeting in the city hall to-night will be an auction sale for the- purpose of selling a number of articles contri- buted by citizens.
