GENEVA. Jum 16.-—A wealthy
Frenchman, F. Bertrand. described as
agdeserter. has been arrested here at
amoment when he had practically
one foot on either side of the Swiss
and French frontier line. ina cafe that
straddles the border The cafe is in
the' village of Saint Julien on the in—
ternational boundary. Part of the
building is in Switzerland and part. in
France. .
.Early itrthe war Bertrand settled
in ‘Geneva where, ids accusers aver.
he'made a. large fortune trading with
Germany. He bought a. villa. and sev-
eral automobiles and led a life of
pleasilre. He said he was more Ger-
man than French. and took pleasure
in_rspeaking against France. particu—
larly in the cafe at Saint Julien wh (e.
safe on Swiss territory in one of the
drinking rooms. he could be over-
heard and even seen by the French
police in the room! on the French
side. There the French listened to
his annoying talk but. unable to catch
him on the French side. they could
not arrest him. Bertrand boasted that
-—when there were no police about——
he could enter France and return
without a passport. .
Bertrand after dining well. crossed
the border by going from the room on
the, Swiss side to that on the French
side to greet 'some friends.
instant he passed the line into France
he was pounced upon by two French
gendarmes. He put up a fight, but
was quickly subdued. handcuffed and
carried away.
