PRESSED INTO GERMAN NAVY
Gustaf Helwich, a native of Germany, left Manitowoc in 1914 to visit his parents
in the old country. He stuck around too long. He was invited to accept a post in
one of the Kaiser's battleships, but he assured the authorities that he had but
little taste for the life on the ocean wave. He failed to impress them but they
impressed him. They insisted that he would surely enjoy the experience and finally
prevailed upon him with the aid of a bayonet, to get aboard. As he was a German
subject, this was all according to Hoyle.
While enjoying his sojourn on a battleship he was a participant in several little
misunderstandings with the British navy in the North Sea, among them the affair
off Jutland, when about 100 ships were exchanging greetings. This was his earliest
opportunity to get back to America and he is going to re-enter the draying business
with his brother, Oscar here. He has had enough of the life of a jolly tar on the
bounding billows to last an ordinary life time.
He gives a good description of present conditions in Germany, his main complaint
being the continuous of war time regulations of personal affairs and conduct.
