her way across the Atlantic in a
grim game of hide and seek with
the enemy. Incidentally, the
story of the discovery of Paul
Koenig's Jewish origin is one of
those that have given rise to the
saying that "truth is stranger
than fiction."
George Kcenip- , who lives at
167 East Fourth street, New
York, is one of the two millions,
more or less, of our co-religion-
ists who have come to this land

United States, the other to re-

communicated with the captain
at Baltimore, found that he was
right, and one of Captain Paul
Koenig's most tender memories
of his visit to the United States
will always be his reunion with
his brother, George.

Jew aboard the Deutschland.

Germany, is also a member of its
