Dramatic rescues end in Manila for two American women
Two American women reach Manila after dramatic rescues by guerrilla troops. Mrs. Herman Kluge of Schenectady was hidden in the mountains of northern Luzon for 41 months while a yearlong search sought her. She faced capture and ransom demands of 18 500 dollars on a 35 000 peso price. Mrs. Helen Angeles endured years in prison before escape and narrowly avoided beheading as Japanese forces pursued her. Japanese forces chased Kluge across 200 miles, and her husband, an American lumberman turned guerrilla captain, tortured truck drivers and convoy guards. He surrendered after threatening to kill villagers near his headquarters, then spent months in torture before ending at Fort Santiago. Also noted, 525 musical compositions about Abraham Lincoln exist, with at least 75 funeral marches and memorial hymns.
