Seattle residents listed among Americans stranded in Europe
The Paris dispatch reports Americans facing seizure of cars and transport difficulties as they flee war torn Europe. Seattle names appear among those stranded, with many seeking passage home via ships and charitable aid. Notables include Mrs. Fred H. Baxter, Dr. Edward P. Fick, Bishop Edward J. ODea, Rev. Shayler, and former Mayor George F. Cotter, among others. The scene in Paris shows hunger, bank withdrawals, and embassies flooded with anxious Americans seeking repatriation. Herbert Hoover helps with funds for passage for hundreds of travelers.
