But I never aw a man hedge, or even speak of it. ind we did not have any food pirates ,; Mong us elther: we were not captains ,f industry by any means. , There were times when some of us ould not eat certain of our rations. (for instance, many and many a time . was as hungry as anybody could be, ynd I wanted to eat my bread, but it jeemed as if I could not get it into ay mouth. Then I would trade it with jomeone else for his “shadow soup” or dis barley coffee. ' We were dying every day in Pran- jenburg and after each death -the enior men of that barracks would de- all twelve of their number to go out or half an hour and dig the grave, :vhile others made little crosses, on (Which they wrote or carved the man’s vame, when he was captured, and his tegiment or ship. In the middle of " ‘ jhe cross were always the letters, } 1. L P.—Rest in Peace, ) One time we were ordered to report o the German doctors for a serum } ‘Teatment of some ‘“<ind—to receive an injection, in other words. There was %© choice about it this time, as we ivere simply herded together to the sospital barracks. Now, I knew what hese things were like and how brutal the German doctors were in giving an injection, so I wanted to be the very irst man and not have to witness the other men getting theirs, {So 1 pushed up to the hend of the | We | line, with the crew ot H- M.S. Nomad, who had been captured in the Jutland battle, and by the time we got to the hospital.was the very first man in line. But the sentry threw me back and there were several men ahead of me. Each of them bared his chest znd the doctors slashed them across the breast with a very thin knife, so you can see that It was very painful. When it came to my turn they slashed me three times in the shape of a triangle just to one side of the breast. And that was ail there was to It+-no injection, noth- ing on the knife that I could see. Now, I do not know what the idea was. Every man of us was dizzy for the rest of the day and could not do anything but lay around the barracks. And hardly any of us bled a drop, though the gashes were deep. I do not think we had any blood in us to run, and that is the truth of it. It was ‘They Slashed Me Three Times, Just another German trick that no one could explain. One day a war correspondent named Bennett, from a Chicago paper, came to the camp and went through #ll the barracks. When he came to\our bar- racks I told him I was an American and asked for the news. Instead of answering he began to ask all sorts of questions. Finally, after I had,told him I had been in the French service, I asked him if he could help me in any way. He answered that I had only my- self to blame and that it served me. right if I had been in one of the allied armies, I did not like his looks much and he seemed unfriendly, but when he began smeking a cigarette it almost drove me crazy and I could not help asking for one. He refused me and said I should have stayed in my own country, where I could have had plenty of cigarettes. After a while he threw away a cige- rette stub and not only I but three or four others who were near made a dive for it. A man named Kelley got it— @ crazy man who went around trying to eat wood and cloth and anything he could find. When my three weeks were up and I had not heard from Mr. Gerard I was just about ready to go down to the lake ‘and pick out a vacant spot and lay down in it. I really do not think I could have lasted two weeks longer. And just about that time, as I was walking back to barracks one day, a Frenchman showed me a German newspaper, and there in large type on thé top of the first page it: said that Mr. Gerard had left the country, or was getting ready to leave. ' They had to drag me the rest of the way to the barracks and throw snow on me before I came to. {Gunner Depew’s interview with Mr. Gerard took place at the Dulmen prison camp on or about February 1, 1917. On February 8, our state department demand- ed the release of sixty-two Americans captured on British vessels and heldeas prisoners in Germany. On the same day, President Wilson severed diplomatic rela- tions with Germany. Ambassador Gerard left Germany exactly one week later. The newspaper that Gunner Depew saw must have been issued after February 10. It was not until March 9, 1917, however, that Gunner Depew was actually released from Brandenburg.—Editor’s Note.] I do not know what happened during the next few days, But a week or so later the Spanish ambassador and four German officers and Swatts came to our barracks and the ambassador told me I would be released! It was all I could do to keep from fainting again. Then Swatts asked roe in English if I had anything | to say about the treatment in the camp, and I began to think maybe it was a frame-up of some kind, so all said was, “When will I get out of here?” and he said, “Why, you will be released tomorrow.” I did not wait to hear any more, but tushed into the barracks again, singing and whistling and yelling as loud as I | could, The boys told me wy fate ‘ood. { had in my body had rushed to my. bead, because I could hardly walk for * a few minutes. Then the men began to think I was crazy, and none of them believed I would really be reivased, but that ¥ was going to be sent to the mines, as so many were. But I believed it, and I just sat there on my bunk and be- gan to dream of the food I would get and what I would eat first, and so on. I did not sleep that night—just walked from barracks to barracks un- till they chased me away, and then walked ap and down in my own bar- racks the rest of the night) When I got td the Russian barracks and told the two doctors my news, they would not believe me at all, although they knew there had been some important visitor at the camp. But when I walked out of their door I said, “Dobra vetshav,” which means “Good night!” Then they must have believed me, for they calied me back, ‘ and all the men gave me addresses of people to write to in case I should get away. They were all talking at once, and one of the doctors got very excited and got down on his knees with his hands in the-air. “Albert,” he said, “if you have the God-given luck to get out of Germany—not for my sake, but tor the sake of us who are hera in this hell-hole, promise me you will tell all “the people wherever you go what they are doing to us here. Tell thent not to send money, for we can’t eat money, and not meat—just bread, bread, bread—” And when I looked around all the men were sitting on their beds crying and tearing their hair and saying, “bread, bread, bread,” over and over again.| Then each tried to give me something, as if to say that even If they did not get out, perhaps their but- ton or belt or skull cap would get back to civilization. When I left their barracks I began to cry, because it did not seem_pos- sible that I was going away, and al- ready I could see them starving slow- ly, just as I had been starving. ‘The next morning a sentry came to my barracks, called out my name and took me to the commander of the camp. They searched me, and then drilled me back to barracks again. Then the men all thought they were just playing a joke on me, and they sald so. The same thing happened the next day, and when one of the men said that probably I would be slammed up against a wall and shot, I began to feel shaky, I can tell you. But the third morning, after they had searched me, the commander sald, “Well, you'll have to have a bath be- fore you leave the country,” and I ‘was so glad that I did not mind about the bath, although I remembered the last one I had, and it did not agree very well with me. After the bath, they’ drilled me out into the road. There were four sentries with me, but not Swatts, nor did I see him anywhere around, for which I was sor- ry. But all the boys came down to the barbed wire, or to the gate, and some were crying, and others were cheering, and all of them: were very much excited. But after a minute or two they got together again and the last thing I heard was the song about packing up your old kit bag, and then, “Are we downhearted?—No!” They, were certainly game lads, They did not take me straight to the station, but took me through all the streets they could find, and as us- ual, the women were there with the bricks and spit, But I did not mind: I was used to it, and besides, it was the last time. So I just grinned at them, and thought that I was better. off than they, because they had to stay in the hole called Germany. I was still half naked, but I did not mind the two-hour wait on the station platform. I noticed a little sign that read, “Berlin 25 miles north,” and that was the first time I had much of an idea where Brandenburg was. When we got into the compartment and I found that the windows were not smashed I could not believe it at first until I remembered that this was not a prisoner train. We had a forty- eight hour ride to Lindau, which is on the ‘Lake of Constance, and no food or water in that time. But still I did not mind it much. At Lindau they drilled me into a little house and took away | all the addresses that I had, and then marched me over to the little boat which crosses the lake. As I started up the gangway the last thing I received in Germany ‘reached me—a crack across the back with a rifle! The women and children on the dock had their fists up and were yell- ing, “American,swine!” But I just laughed at them. And when I looked around the boat and saw no German soldiers — only Swiss civilians — I rubbed my eyes and could not believe it. When they gave me bread, which was what I had decided I wanted most of all back in the ‘camp, I thought I} was In heaven sure enough, and when, | forty-five minutes later, we arrived at | Rorschach in Switzerland, I finally knew I was free. | CHAPTER XXIV. | eS | Back in the States, After I arrived at Rorschach I was ‘taken to a large hall, where I re- mained over night. There were three American flags on the walls, the first I had seen in a long time. I certainly | did a fine job of sleeping that night. | I think I slept twice as fast to make | up for lost time. In the morning I had a regular ban- quet for breakfast—eggs, coffee, bread and a small glass of wine. Hyen now, although I never pass up a meal, that breakfast is still easy to taste, and I sometimes wish I could enjoy another meal as much. But I guess I never shall have one that goes as good. After breakfast they took me out on the steps of the-hall and photographed me, after which I went to the railway } the 4 of Joriéks | citement. hag and. beyonet jabs, the moh gave a cigarettes .and chocolate and sand- | Liberty looked mighty good to.me, you wiches, They also handed me ques j can bet. ; tions—enough to keep me busy aa) So here I am, and sometimes I have swering to this day if I could. ~ | to pinch myself to be sure of It.

They say I cannot get back Zurich was’packed with people, and I began to think I was a star for sure. Francis B. Keene, the American con- sul general_at Zurich, and his assist- ant, were there to meet me. We walked a few blocks to his office, and all the way the cameras were clicking and the chocolateg and cigarettes pil- ing up until I felt like Santa Claus on December 24th.” After a little talk | with Mr, Keene, he took me to the! Stussehof hotel, where my wounds"| were dressed—and believe me, they needed it. ?. The Swiss certainly treated_me well. Every time I came out on the streets they followed me around, and they used to give me money. But the money | might just as well have been leather or leaf—I could not spend it. When- ever I wanted to buy anything the shopkeeper would make me a present of it, I also visited the Hotel Betr au Lac, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Mc- Cormick of Chicago, who are doing such fine work with the Red Cross and are looking after the Belgian and The Swiss Certainly Jweuted Me Well. fe French refugees in ‘Switzerland. It was a dinner, an@ much appreciated by one guest, at least.’ ‘I need not men- tion his. name, but he ate so much that he felt ashanied afterward. 4 T do not think he gptin bad for it, though,- for afterwasd Mr. and Mrs. MecQormnick dich? give, a Yaltiable present, which he need idly." After the dinner Mrs. McCormick made a lit- tle patriotic speech, inj which she sald that the Huns would never trample on | the United States flag, and some other | things that made all ‘the Americans) there very proud, espétially Mr. Keene and myself. So you see I was having a great time, wet But I was having’a Uttle trouble, all the time, for this reason: there were quite a few Germans interned in Zu- rich, and they went about in uniform. Now, when I saw ‘one of these birds and remembered what had been hap-- pening to me just a short time before’ my hands began to itch. Believe me, | it was not “good morning” that I said to them. I enjoyed it all right; they were not in squads and tad no arms, so it was hand to hand, and pie for me. But Mr. Keene did not like it, 1) guess, for he called me to his office’ one morning and kawled me out for a while, and I promised to be good.) “You're supposed to be neutral,” he said. And I sald, “Yes, and when I was torpedoed and taken prisoner, } ‘was supposed to be neutral, too.” But I said I would not look for trouble any more, and started back to the hotel. | But no sooner was I underway than a Hun private came slong and began to laugh at me. My hands itched again, and I could not help but slam him a few. We went round and round for a while, and then the Hun re- versed and went down instead. Mr. Keene saw us, or heard about it, so he told me I had better go to Berne. So off I went, with my passport. But the same thing happened in Berne. I tried very hard, but I just could not keep my hands off the Germans. So I guess everybody thought it was a good thing to tell me good-by—anyway I was shipped into France, going direct’ to St. Nazaire and-from there to Brest. a I made a short trip to Hnit, England, with a letter from a man‘at Branden- burg to his wife. She was not at home, but I left the letter and returned to France. I was in France altogether about three weeks,and then went to Barcelona, Spain. ; ¥ | Then I took passage for the States on the C. Lopez y Lopez, a Spanish merchantman. We had mostly “Spigs” on board, which is nayy slang for Spaniards. Almost every one of them had a large family of children and a raft of pets. We sailed down through Valencia, Almeria, Malaga, Cadiz and Las Palmas in the Canary islands. When we left Las Palmas we had a* regular menagerfe aboard—parrots, canary birds, dogs, monkeys and va- rious’ beasts. The steeragé of that boat was some siglit, believe me. We had boat drill all the way across, of course, and from the way those Spigs rushed about £ knew that if a submarine got us the only thing that would be saved would bé monkeys. But we did not even haye a false alarm all the way over. f One of the Most Complete Es- | lowed him she left the chateau to the | city of Lyons to be used as a hospital | for children, } into the service. It is tough to be knocked out before wur own boys get’ into the scrap. ~ . But Io not know, I am twenty- three year old, and probably have a lot to live for yet. I ought to set- tle down and be quiet for a while, but comfortable as I am, I think I will have to go to sea again. I think of it )~ toany times, and each time it Js harder to stay ashore. i THE END. CHATEAU DES HALLES NOW CHILDREN’S HOSPITAI tablishments of Its Kind in France, With Jolly Playraoms and Toys to Amuse Patients. Up.in the mountains, where the snow falls early and lies deep, 30 miles from Lyons, is the little French village ef Les Halles—a story book village, | with its massive stoue church standing sentinel over two long rows of trim, blue-gray plaster cottages, And a mile farther on is the ‘Chateau des Halles, where your Red Cross has established a home for 200 sick children. Mangini built the chateau. Man- gini was the man who bullt the rail- road along the Riviera and many oth- er railroads in Fratce. And thirty odd years ago he built this castle up in the mountains for his country home, But soon after his two children died. Then he died, and when his widow fol- The War's Wreckage. Then came the war. A little rivblet of the war's wreckage began to trickle in at Evian—“repatries,” elderly men and women, children, even babies, who had once lived in the parts of France enguifed by the German tides and whom the Germans, finding them use- less, were beginning to ship back Into France by way of Switzerland. Grad- ually this rivulet swelled. Soon 1,000 of. these unfortunates were arriving at Evian daily, Ancé fully. half of them were children, undernourished, thinly clad, dirty, sickly and, worse, grim, spiritiess, with faces that had forgotten how to’ smile, v To care for these ‘chiidren was the task your Red Cross at once assymed, Working with the French authorities, the Red Cross secured permission te make use of the old and almost forgot ten Chauteau des Halles up there in the mountains. For years the custle bad been closed. No effort had ever been made to fit it up as a hospital Your Red Cross had to begin at the very beginning, _ Rooms Big and Jolly. : . But what a wonderful task ft has accomplished! The Chateau. des Galles, transformed into a children’s hospital and rest home in furious haste under the terrible pressure of war needs, with little time to think twice and no time to retrieve errors, is not only ore of the most complete estublishments of its kind; it Is one’ of the best children's hospitals in all France. The two rooms where the arriving childrén are isolated for a few days are big, jolly rooms—just what is need to efface from the little gnes' minds the memories of those iron days behind the German lines. The big play room is strewn with rocking horses and wohderful smile-enticing parrots and other toys carved by the wounded poilus. And so you stray from room to room, | and everywhere you find new evi-| fences of this watchful care. And| then you reach the bathrooms. This, chateau was built by a man of wealth | its plumbing was excellent, and yet it) has been stripped out and replaced) with little, low wash basins and little! shower baths that the children can use| more comfortably. | Tbat is how your Red Cross thinks | and cares for France’s children. | eae 8 HOTEL ARRIVALS. | — At the Midwest Blanche .B.

WHOLE NATION MOVES TO BANISH SOLITUDE Our Heroes Are Calling From Over There—Give What You Can to Help Those_ From Home. Every citizen interested in the boys of bis htme town now at the front, and ip the brave women who equally ure serving their country ubrogd, bas an opportunity to shuw his appreciation of the sacrifice they are making. The opportunity comes as a result of the generosity and thought of Colonel Wil- liam Boyce Thompson of New York, who has conceived and put into execu- tion what is known as We Kome Pu- per Service. Under the plan, every man and wo- man ib foreign service will receive the town newspaper, and so be kept in constant touch with the places and the peuply they know and tove, Every branch of the United States Government is interested in the plan, The Goverument realizes Ue tmpor- tance of keeping those in the service happy and constantly in touch with thelr home ties und associations. Noth- ing Is niore depressing in wu nutidnal emergency thov the spirit of loneliness in those serving thelr country, and of- Sclals know shat nething can dispel ‘his feeling more effectually than read- ng the home town newspaper. Publishers of newspapers tn wll parts of the country—this: vewspaper Ineted- “d—-bave grasped with plessure rhe plan ontlined. by Colonel Thompson. and they have agree! to co-operute In every way. Under the ruling of the War Indus- tries Board newspaper publishers are forbidden: to send their newspapers free, even to soldiers, The newspaper must be subscribed for jn the. regular way, the only exception being soldiers who formerly were in the employ of the newspaper and who left that serv. ice to enlist. Colonel Thompson there- fore proposes that the public in each commanity contribute to a fund so thar the home newspaper (in our case this newspaper) may reach every man and woman now In the service of bis conn- try. : Anyone may contribute to the fun and any sum may be contributed. It 1s not necessary to contribute the entire amount of one subscription, It does not matter whether the rich man sends in one hundred dollars or the poor boy or little girl sends In five cents, Each gift will be a message of love and heip- fulness to the hoine town folks “Over There." The money will be lumped into one fund. out of which subscrip- tions will te entered as fast as the money Is recefved. ‘ Contributors who send tn the fall price of a year’s subscription may, if they wish, designate to what particular Person they wish fhe newspaper sent, but If the name given ts already listed as receiving the paper, then the pub- Isher reserves the right to apply the subscription to somé less fortunate gol- dier boy or noble woman who fs just as Pe pe ay mW IN STATE HOW ASIRED Wyoming will go over the top in the Fourth Liberty Loan with a com- fortable margin to spare, according to the confident statement of Patrick Sullivan, state chairman for Wyom- ing; in an interview this morning. “You may say that each and every county in the stute is working loyally and energetically to complete its” quota, and it is safe to assume that there will be no disappointments. A majority have pl the success of their county campaigns and the oth- ers are no less assyred of going over the top.” 3 County after county is now topping the crest of the drive and while defi- nite returns are slow, newspaper re- ports published thruout the siate in- dicate that the Sstae already has crossed the quota. Many have over- - subscribed their allotments and oth- ers are conducting their campaigns along more conservitative lines than in the past, due to a desire to secure a larger number of individual loans.
