WASHINGTON. Oct. 2—A most re
markable instance of misuse of the
country's privileges was given out a
day or two ago. The ease involves
tso less a personage than Dr. W.

It appears that through the natural
ization of the Doctor’s father, he be
came au American citizen in 1893.
In 1912, the doctor obtained a pas
port from the department for use on
n trip to South Africa.
While still in Africa, the present
war broke out. From there he went
to Germany in the capacity of a Ger
man agent, using his American pass
"port for that purpose in going through
Still later he male the at
tempt to carry messages through
neutral countries. This fact was
brought to the attention of the de
partraent with the result that his
passport was seized and he was left
in his father's country.
