Show REPORTER'S VISIT DISTURBS GUEST Scribe Is Implored to Go Away When He Seeks to Interview Foreigner From Yellowstone. Max Hoch of Hamburg", Germany, arrived ar-rived in the jetty last evening and went to the Hotel Utah. Having ridden much on trains lately and being weary, the visitor from Germany retired almost immediately. im-mediately. But how was the reporter to know? Reporters are neutral they aim to interview in-terview everyone who comes to the city from foreign countries, no matter whether they belong to the central powers pow-ers or the entente allies, or are merely roosting on the fence. Wherefore the reporter called Herr Hoch'a room on the telephone, from the lobby. "Hello, Mr. Hoch; are you a secret agent of Germany?" asked the reporter in dulcet tones. "Go away, go away," entreated Mr. Hoch. "Ah. but I say, old chap, I've just come," explained the reporter, "and T want to know about the war and what you think of our beautiful climate " "What iss? Reporters! Ach, always al-ways reporters' Go away." Mr. Hoch seemed quite insistent upon it. "I have nothing to tell. T am a tourist just out of Yellowstone. Already Al-ready I am in bed." Bang went the receiver, and Mr. Hoch, in all probability, returned to bed, to dream, mayhap, of eating his Christmas welners in Paris or Petrograd. |
