AN ALIEN ENEMY.
WELLINGTON, May 28. A mild sensation was caused in the city c-4 Saturday when a rumour went round to the effect that Dr von Danneville, of the Lahraann Health Home, Miramir, had been taken across to Somes Island and interned ■. for the duration of the war.. Unlike- tha many rumours which have been in circulation lately, this report has the advantage ot being absolutely correct. Dr von Danneville, under the escort of two detectives, wan . placed on the island on Saturday morning. It is not known why this step was taken, but the . woman is interned as an alien enemy. Dr von Danneville attracted considerable attention whenever she appeared in • the streets of Wellington on account of tho - eccentricity of her dress, which usually con* / sisted of masculine garb (men's hat, collar, coat, cuffs, and boots), with a woman's j skirt. Her hair was always close cropped. £he has hitherto called herself Danish, but j it is stated that she has openly expressed. h<-r admiration for Germany, and her scor< of Britain.
