14 COUPLE FROM U.S. HELD IN FRANCE Subject to All Manner of In decencies Before They Secure Their Release Paris. (Correspondence of The As sociated Press). Difficulties for Americans traveling on the Continent are increasing:. Walter Morse Rum mol, the American composer and pi anist who has been living for many years in Paris, and his wife, formerly Therese Chaigneau, a French pianist, were arrested at Dieppe recently, sus pected of being spies. They were returning home from London where professional engage ments called them. They had submit ted their papers to the French Con sulate General in London and had re ceived a safe conduct to Paris. Thev had an American passport and a per sonal letter from Mr. Thackara, the Consul General. They were searched Rfter their arrest at Dieppe. Al though nothing suspicious was found they were detained in a hotel over night. The next morning Rummel was taken by gendarmes through the streets, followed by children calling out that he was a German. Both he and his wife were locked up in prison until the next morning. Rummel's cell companions were two persons ac cused of theft. Mr. and Mrs. Rummel were trans ferred by train to Rouen, imprisoned there in cells, the floors of which were covered with filth and the walls with obscene drawings. They were there six hours before being able to buy a piece of stale bread and a piece of cheese. Rummel's fellow prisoner was on Apache who confided to him that he had just stabbed a woman. Rum mel had at every stage of his ex periences explained who he was and demanded that the authorities should Inquire at the American Embassy in Paris. Luckily he had been able to •send a telegram to the Consul General In Paris before being interned. He und his wife were released therefore after forty-eight hours detention al together, upon representations of the American Consul in Rouen. Mr. Rummel's father and grand father were' British. Tiis mother was the daughter of S. F. B. Morse, the Inventor of the telegraph; Rummel happened to have been born in Berlin during a period when his father was there on business. He was registered ns British-born at the British Consu late. His parents went to America when he was three years old. After the death of his father his mother Resumed American citizenship. Young Rummel was entitled to take his mother's nationality and did so. The circumstances that he was born in Berlin appears to have drawn upon him the suspicion that he was Ger knan. The American Embassy has gone fully into the affair and lias made rep resentations to the Foreign Office upon tbe indignities Mr. and Mrs. Rummel suffered. They have spent most of their time since the war be- B'an in hospital and other charitable work in France, particularly in or ganizing funds for musicians. (Other Personals Pago 4.)
