Source: Article from The Omaha World-Herald Newspaper, Omaha, Douglas County, NE, USA Undated, WWI Estimated Date: November 14, 1914 Visited Wounded Soldiers In The German Hospitals Mrs. O. E. Gugler Says Every Woman in Germany Is Knit- ting for Troops Three Cousins Killed and Two Wounded Says Steamship Rotterdam Held Up Five Days by British Searches. Fresh from the theater of war in Europe Mrs. O. E. Gugler of 2504 North Twenty-fourth street returned home yesterday after an interrupted voyage. The Rotterdam, the ship that she and also Miss Corinne Paulson and Miss Frances Nash of this city came across on, was held up five days near Ostend, Belgium, and searched by British war vessels. Mrs. Gugler says the passengers were considerably scared, both by the British searchers and the mines. Mrs. Gugler, who visited relatives in Germany six months, was most of the time in Baden and Wurtemberg near the French frontier where wounded German soldiers and French prisoners of war are brought by thousands. She saw her own relatives brought in wounded. "I saw the wounded soldiers come in with arms and legs shot off and many with their eyes out, " said Mrs. Gugler relating the horrors of war this morning. "I went to the soldiers in the hospitals which are filled. I went with other German women to take them good things to eat." She has had twenty cousins in the war. Two were brought back shattered by French bullets. Three were reported killed. "Every woman in Germany is knitting," she said. "From little girls of 6 to old women, they knit all the time -- stockings, mittens, caps and other things for the German soldiers. I knitted all the time, too." "We made packages of good things for the soldiers -- put in sweet chocolate, cookies, sausages." Mrs. Gugler is loyal to the kaiser and the German army. "The kaiser is all right," she declared. "He will go the front, into the trenches. So do his sons. The army is like one man in feeling. If the Germans hadn't gone through Belgium to France, the French would have come over to Germany."

Mrs. Gugler intended visiting at Freiburg and Baden. Source: Article from The Omaha World-Herald Newspaper, Omaha, Douglas County, NE, USA Undated, WWI Hear That Mrs. Gugler Is Held In Germany The sons of Mrs. J. B. Gugler, who has a bakery at 2504 North Twenty-fourth street, are very much disturbed because of the recent lack of news from her. Mrs. Gugler left last spring for Germany, and the last letter received from her, a week ago, was from Freiburg. "Mother was to have sailed for America September 12," said one of the sons this morning, "but we have had no advices from her. She has plenty of cheques, but these are not being honored." One of the sons visited the post office officials this afternoon to try to invoke the aid of the government in reaching her and attending to her welfare. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
