Service of 23 Years Put In by ex-Kaiser's Subject. THE SUXDAT OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, " MAT 16. 1920 LIFE ALTERED BY WAR Desire lo Fight Tor Fatherland Leads to Court-Martial Stub bornness liars Parole. But a few years ago he was a sol dier of the army of the United States with a 23-year record. Two years ago he was tried by court-martial and then arrested and interned. Yesterday he was a prisoner of war of the United Statee the last in Oregon. Today he is a man without a country. That is the story of Frederick TJahrendorf, once citizen of the kaiser, who shambled out of the county jail, free. Once Serjeant Dahrendorf, with a record of efficiency in Cuba, now he lias neither friends nor country. Parole Refused Repeatedly. Time and time again the United Slates Government would have re leased him, but lahrendorf refusea always to sign a parole. "I shall never report to any Tom, Dick or Harry," he said. His army record spans ?3 years. Private, first-class private, holder of a gunner's rating, corporal and final ly sergeant is the story his series of discharges and re-enlistments tell. Then came war. The Fatherland called. "Why sacrifice your 23 years of service?" the "loot" said to the "top." "This is your country," said the American army sergeant, whose heart had harked back to the Rhine. "Ger many is my country." "If I only had the money I would go back to Germany and fight," he told Sergeant Powers at Astoria. But when the United States govern ment offered to repatriate him after the war he indignantly declined. on r martial Trial Held. Dahrendorf was at Fort Stevens when war was declared. First he was tried by courtmartlal for disobedience of orders he was simply a stubborn German, the record shows. On his release he was arrested on a presi dential warrant. Then he was sent to Fort Douglas, Utah. He was interned, finally pa roled and sent to Oregon. Again he was arrested because he simply would not report. In the county jail it was thought he would repent, but Dahren dorf, stubborn ever, would accept none but an unconditional discharge and this the government yesterday gave him. He called on Deputy District At torney Flegel to collect his dis charges, his medals, his Forester badges and the badges which it would be thought would bind him to Amer ica. Then, stubborn as ever, he slouched away. C'lttzrnahip In U. S. Scorned. He said he would never be a citi zen; he would never go back .to Ger many; he would simply stay in Port land. That is Dahrendorf today. And yet when Mr. Flegel -looked over his discharges and read that he had never been "A. W. O. L.," had served three years in the eighth cav alry, three years in the seventh in fantry, three years in the 18th in fantry, three years in the third company, coast artillery, three more years in the artillery, had seen serv ice in Cuba, Fort Stevens, Alaska and wherever the far-flung American line was. he wondered. "Why aren't you a good citizen of the United States, Dahrendorf?" he said. "Can't we help you to see this thing right? You were a brave man when the Rosecrantz went on Pea cock spit. Tou fought well in Cuba. You had a record any man might be proud of. This government is not your enemy. It wants to be your friend. "You have been in this country 25 years and 23 of those were in the American army. You are just living in the illusions of the Fatherland. Can't we help you?" But Dahrendorf, once citizen of Germany, once American fighting man, once prisoner of war and now man without a country, went his way.
