He worked as farmhand in Texas, Apothecary, dishwasher, translator for the German Western Post in St. Louis, and as Journalist in San Francisco. In the year 1898 he found himself as part of the US Army reporting on the battle of Signal Hill in Cuba.This stage of his life was documented in his novel Der deutsche Lausbub in Amerika which translates as "The German prankster in America". Having returned to Germany and subsequently trying to escape a failed relationship with his "jewel" as he called her, he joined the French Foreign Legion signing his 5 year contract on October 6 1905 He became Legionnaire 17889. Fortunately, after 2 years, he was able to escape and eventually published his experience as In the Foreign Legion (1910)
