After the revolt at Clairvaux prison I settled into a sort of semi-conscious- ness. Day after day I did the same things in the same way until I lost all count of time. I didn't know there was an Ameri- can Legion convention in Paris, nor that my father and my attorney, | Charles Campbell, were making head- !way with the French officials. I thought I was lucky to have had my sentence reduced from 8 to 4 years.

A few minutes later T was taken to | g ! the prison barbershop and shaved. I | knew then something extraordinary ihld happened. We were shaved only once a week at Clairvaux.

They all knew the story of “Clare.” 1 met two chaps who had been at Clairvaux with me and whose sentences had just ex- pired. I went to the canteen and I spent the last of my money for what to us was a luxurious dinner. 1 was full of ambition to get into the Moroccan trouble, which they told me had produced a good scrap, in which the Legion was taking a large | part. T wanted to re-establish “Gilbert Clare” as a first-class soldier of the | Legion. The trip to Oran and to Sidi- Bel-Abhes was a repetition of the one {1 described in the first part of my story. When T entered the Legion head- quarters at Bell-Abbes, the first per- son 1 saw was my old friend Rechad Bey, my witness at the court-martial. I also encounteded Sergt. d’Etienne, of my old company. There were several others who had been in Syria with me. The rest of the outfit was still in the Levant, drafts were going forward to I waited hopefully to go After several days I re- ready to march riday, December We' were ordered for inspection at 9 o'clock in the morning. This is the most rigid inspection of the Legion, 1 was sewing a rip in my tunic when an orderly handed me a summons from the colonel's office, 1 reported this to my adjutant chef.

He read a telegram from the ministry of war directing my release from the | Legion. It was almost as great a sur- prise as my release from Clairvaux.

As a matter of fact, 1 didn't see it. There were too many reporters around. My moth- er and father met me at the dock.
