DR. OERTEL'S WHEREABOUTS.
Dr. Oertel's friends are Interested
about his whereabouts. A few (lays
ago tie was stil touring England tint
It Is thought by hia family that be
probably cut short his tour and hur
ried to London in time to gel pas
sage on the "Philadelphia,” which
sailed at noon today from South
Hampton. The boat Is a slow one.
Dr. Oertel having announced his ln
tentlon of making as slow a return
trip as he could, so there Is a possi
bility that he will not reach New York
until the latter part of next week. All
If he sailed, hut did he reach London
in time to arrange for the sailing from
South Hampton, Is what is worrying
his friends.
WILL MR. CHARLES SCHNEIDER
BE ABLE TO LEAVE AUSTRIA?
Mr. Charles Schneider ia having a
strenuous time in Austria and Mrs.
Schneider is having a no less sten
uous one here. Mr. Schneider has
been abroad all summer, went over to
Vienna to see hiH aged father who
passed away before he reached him.
Several days, a week or more, before
the war rumors were so had, Mr.
Schneider wrote hrime that he was
homesick and was thinking of return
ing Just as soon as could got things In
shape. When he got ready to come
he realized tha,t w’ar wan so Imminent
that he would have to have his natu
ralization papers which were In Ills
trunk, which by an unfortunate cir
cuinstance has been left over in New
York Whether or not It has been
since shipped to him is not known but
one thing is certain, he has never re
ceived It, and now that lie wants to
get bark ho finds that he has to have
ills papers showing that lie is a natu
ralized American citizen else he can’t
get a passport. Mr. Schneider Is an
Austrian and came to the “stales when
he was so young that he had never
served tiis term In the Austrian army.
Without his papers he will find It hard
to prove this and will probably be
conscripted. Mrs. Schneider has cab
led him, but heard nothing. She has
secured a copy of Ills papers hut is
greatly apprehensive as to how they
can be sent to him.
