BY ALEXANDER HERMAN
NEW YORK—Ignatius T. T.
Lincoln. International spy, is now a
mill without a country.
Erstwhile German spy. English
clergyman, member of parliament,
British censor, the arch conspirator
is in New York awaiting the action
of the immigration authorities. He
is charged with entering this coun
try surreptitiously. If found guilty
he will be deported. \
"t don’t know where they can
send me,” he said. "I’ve been ex
pelled by almost every power. But
l am not worrying. I’ll find a way
out. I always do."
Meanwhile he is writing the story
of ills life.
"it sounds like Action,” ho con
fided. "But it is true. When fin
ished it will leave, other thrillers far
in the shade.” He laughed—consid
erably pleased with lilniself. .
"I surely did make them step live
ly during tlie war. Sometimes it was
the British; sometimes the Austrian.
T didn't care much which.
“It was exciting for them. top.
But their experiences never rivalled

Trapped in Germany
’ In May, 1920. I was working for
the German monarchists. I had to
get into Berlin on a secret-mission.
A warrant was out for my arrest. 1
took the chance—and was cuught
at the railroad station.
“I tried the usual method—brib
ery. But the secret service agent
was young. He refused my advances.
I was facing tlie prospect of twenty
years in a German prison—possibly
death.
"Sq I did some skillful talking.
We stopped at a rest house. In a
twinkling I jumped through a win
dow. ran across the street with
crowds at my heels and escaped. An
hour later I was successfully hidden
by friends.
"There is—nothing a»">tlmu]ating

He shrugged his shoulders.
’ I knew all the lenders—the kai

"I started going when I was fif

On graduation from a Montreal
seminary 1 Joined the Church of
England and been me curate of a
parish In Kent.
"But I soon tired of the work. It
was too monotonous. I wanted to lo
on the Inside of things. So I went
Into politics and was elected to par
liament us a Liberal.
i "With the war came the chance I
hail always wanted—ter get mixed
up in international affairs.”
Lincoln was appointed censor of
Hungarian correspondence. HI* ac
tivities got him Into trouble. Ha
was reprimanded and forced to re
sign.
”i then went to Rotterdam,” he
continued.
“I must have been shadowed. My
visit was reported to the British war
office and I had to skip to America.”
Arrest anil Escape
Here he wrote a series of revela
tions which led to his arrest.
"Of course, I had worked for the
Germans,” said Lincoln, “and X
didn't want to be sent back to Eng
land.”
So he escaped from the custody of
the Xrnited States marshal. After a
month he was found and sent to
England whore he was confined in
prison until the end of the war.
“I asked the government to re
voke my British citizenship,” XAn
coln said. "As I had formerly given
up my allegiance to Austria-Hun
gary, I became a citizen of no coun
try.”
Goes to See Kaiser
He was then deported. He went
to Amerongen to see the kaiser. A
few weeks later he had a new cause.
"I marched into Berlin at the
head if the Kapp army,” he added
wit'll gusto. "I was out there In
front, of the procession of soldiers,
generals and counter-revolutionists.
Tint the revolt failed anil l went lo
Budapest.”
XXe became involved in the sale of
some secret documents to the
Czecho-Slovakian government and
was arrested for fraud.
"It took me three and a half
months,” Lincoln said smiling, “be
fore I got out of the mess. But I
was expelled. I went to Italy. There
I did nothing. I wanted a chance
to get into some quieter business.
So 1 eame on here, ^nd now—
"I'm in trouble again!”
