Worcester 11, l.owell 5. The follounng striking article on Sir Roger Casement is zuritten for the Post by Hugo Krebs, a former Bostonian prominent in the legal and political world. Mr. Krebs spent many weeks in Berlin zvith Sir Roger. BY FftANZ HUGO KREBS The news of the execution of Sir Roger Casement not only shocked me, as it did most Americans, on account of the unnecessary taking of the life of one of the remarkable men, but also as the killing in accordance with judicial decree of one whom I had come to regard as a personal friend and for whom I had the highest admiration and respect.

I first met Sir Roger in April, 1915. I had wanted to meet him for some time, but he had been away from Berlin and finally, on his return, I was phoned to call at the German foreign office and was introduced to Sir Roger. He invited me to call to sec him at the Hotel Eden and promised me an interview. I not only obtained the interview, but also received permission from Sir Roger for Albert K. Dawson, of Brown iJawson of Stamford, to take pictures and also a of him.

FREE FROM DESIRE FOR MONEY Sir Roger not only had an absolute disregard for money, but he was sensitive, lest anyone should have even the least excuse for thinking that he would be willing to make money out of his patriotic activities. Dawson had been loafing around Berlin for weeks without getting any results; finally I got him a chance to take a of Dr. Karl Haffenreich, the imperial treasurer, and several other prominent people. Next I suggested Sir Roger, but Dawson see it. But when I gave him my view that Sir Roger was the most romantic figure in this waged- for-business war, he finally decided that it would be worth while to take the pictures.

Next Sir Roger was the stumbling block. He made no objection to the pictures, but did object, most decidedly, to the But finally he said to me, Mr. Krebs, if you think it will make one more friend for Ireland, go And as the result of that permission some 20 to 22 million Americans have seen Sir Roger as lifelike in appearance as he was when 1 saw him with the camera turned on him in the Hotel Eden in Berlin.

trip from which she failed She had told her folks where she was going. She was not despondent. She had no love affair, they nor any other reason for wanting to end her own life. There are reasons which cause the police and her family to scout the theory of suicide. Considerable Money The canoe, when found fioatlng empty on the river, had not a drop of water Inside it, and for that reason the possibility of her having fallen overboard accidentally is not credited.

Besides, she was an athletic girl, a good swimmer, and used to paddling a canoe, which further to eliminate the accidental drowning theory. The onlj circumstance that suggests the possibility of foul play is that she carried a considerable sum of money in her pocketbook In bills. She was alone as she paddled down the river. The pocketbook was not in the canoe with her coat, nor have the searchers found it in their 36-hour combing of the locality. Seen Picking Blueberries She was seen picking blueberries in a pasture along the rlverbank three or four hours after she left the where she hired the canoe, and the theory has been advanced that she may have gone into the woods that skirt the pasture and become lost.

But She had frequently gone canoeing on the Town River and knew the surrounding country well. The failure of the searchers to find any trace of her seems to them to leave only two possible solutions of the mystery, either that she is alive and wandering. lost, deep In the woods, or that she is the victim of foul play. There is also the scouted alternative, that she may have been accidentally drowned. Late tonight the authorities and relatives were planning t6 renew the search for her tomorrow.
