Isaacs | Declines to Remain Prisoner | London, Nov. 26.° (Correspondence of the Associated Press.)—Here is the story of Lieutonant E. V. Isaacs of thke United States Navy, watch offi- cer of the American transport Presi- dent Lincoln when that vessel was torpedoed in the Atlantic on May 31 lest. He was captured by the German submarine which sunk the ship. When Off the Scandinavian coast he attempt- ed to swim ashore but was caught. On his way o a prison camp in Ger- many he jumped from a train but was recaptured. He escaped from the prison and swam across the Rhine river to safety in Switerland. The story has been 'told briefly in the Associated Press dispatches but its details are so filled with the spirit of adventure as to be well worth the tailing. When the President Lincoin went to the bottom of the ocean Lieuten- ant Isamcs, who is from Cresco, Iowa, climbed upon a raft. Soon afterward the submarine emerged and her com- mander demanded the captain of the dent Lincoln as a prisoner. .The s told him they believed the in had gone down with the ship, t they were aware of that, but | ve, if possible, the captain heing| prison While this was going on Lieuten- Isaacs said, he lay on the raft is arms under him to hide the stripes on his uniform, ' but success, and he was ordered he submarine. It was the and her commander, Capt. vesided in the United Reniey, had States and England and spoke Eng- our civilization.” said the lieutenant, “as he treated me pleas- antly while inquiring as to the where- abouts of the skipper of the Lincoln. 1 was told that I would tell him where he could find our captain or go to Germany myself as a prisoner. I could not conform to his first com- mand and, of course, would not have had T been able to.” The young officer said that he was given a good bunk 6n the submarine and four good meals daily, including | meat, ‘eggs and real coffee. The fol- lowing day as the submarine was cruistng about seeking new victims she was sighted by two American de- stroyers. “Whilé 'the destroyers were plung- water as tapidly as possible and fi- nally stopped at a depth of 60 me- ters,” Lieutenant Isaacs said. ‘‘When the depth bombs began to explode every German was at his'station, tense and pretty badly .scared. Now and then a junior officer would sing out to the captain that a destroyer was sbout so far away to starboard or port 8s the case might have been. They were recording the positions with their listening® devices. Then would come a depth charge. It is difficult to describe just the sensation, but it seemed to me much like a dog shak- Ing & rat and it was anthing but pleas- ant to be the rat. With each explo- sion a look of horror would flash over the faces of the Germans, for they expected every moment that one of the charges would be fired a bit clos- er and they knew' their craft could not withstand it.” Too many destroyers were in that area for comfort, so Remy headed for the Kiel canal the next night. When off the Scandinavian coast, Lieutenant Isaacs sald he decided to attempt to swim to shore when the submarine approached territorial wa- ters. With his life belt on, he was just slipping over the side shortly af- ter midnight when he was discovered by Remy himself and pulled aboard. On arrival at Wilhelmshaven he wag kept three days on a submarine “mother” ship and three days in a land prison, carefully guarded and ‘badly fed. During this time he was taken to the German battleship Kai- ser Wilhelm II, the flag-ship of the tieet, and questioned by a staff offi- cer. “I finally told him that the United Btates would send so many msn to France that the battle lines wouldn't * hold them,” said the leutenant. I was then taken to Karlcruhe and piaced in a hotel room by myself the fArst day. The next day I was put in another room with eight French of- flegrs, it having been learned in the ntime that I spoke French. These rooms I afterwards learned were known as the “listening rooms” and they were rightly named. The French- men and I found three dictaphones | and destroyed them. The next day I was placed in a Toom with three Brit- | tsh officers and there were dicta- phones in that room.” | After a few days at Karlsruhe, the leutenant was started for a prelimi- nary distributing camp at Villingon, Baden. In the rallway carriage with him were two guards. He was unawars | of conditions at the Villingen camp, ' and decided to try to get away from the train if the slightest opportunity came. “One of the guards seemed to be dozing while the other was interested In something out of the other side of the carriage, when I dove through the carriage window,” the officer said. “The train was moving more rapidly than I believed, for I received an aw- | 4 ful bump on the head and both of my | knees were cut on the iron ties of the parallel track. “T scrambled into the brush as best I could. Very soon bullets were whistling about ma as the train had been stopped and guards were on my trail. I could not make speed in the condition I was in, 8o to ave my life | 1 peld up my hands in token of sur- | rendsr when the guards were about 178 yards away. l ‘““When they came up to me one of | them welcomed meé with a blow with | his rifle. 1 was beaten and kicked and knocked down ‘seven or elght f 1 and left. trees, so I ran as fast as I could with times before they loaded me back into the train. ‘Arriving at the camp T w in paper bandages—they have very little cloth in Germany, you know. Had it not been for food supplied by the Red Cross I'm sure 1 would have starved to death but with that we fared very well and within a month I had regained my strength. There were about 150 Russian officers and 756 American officers in the camp.” finally s swathed immediately began to la escape by collecting necessary arti- CONN. PREPARES T0 REGRUIT TS BOYS | ‘Working Res;rve Campaign Will | Licutenant Isaacs and other officers | plans for Begin on January 20 cles, such as pieces of wire and rope | and short boards with which to' make ! a ladder if necessary. They aiso traded some of their food to a Rus- sian for a pair of wire cutters he had smuggled into the camp. Three dif- ferent times they had their escape plans completed, each time with the connivance of a Russian, and each time they had reason to believe th Germans had been apprised and they did not tr “Finally we learned that they were to take all the Russians away on Oct. 7, and, working without the Rus- sians, we planned to try again on the night of Oct. 6. TFifteen feet from our barred windows was a high barb- ed wire fence which turned inward at the top much the same as at our internment camps in the States. Be- tween the fence and our window was a ditch seven feet wide filled with scrapped barb wire. We had almost severed the bars of the window in the room in which I was imprisoned, us- ing an improvised saw one of the of- ficers had obtained from a Russian. “Two other officers with me were to use two tennis court markers, cighteen feet long, as a bridge from our window to the top of the barbed- wire: fence. The wooden markers which we calculated would barely hold us when strapped together were to be brought into our room after the roll call at night. “We figured that soon after the attempt the guards would be attract- ed from ‘the main gate, so three of- ficers elected to try a dash there at the proper moment. Three others were to attempt to get through the fence with the wire cutters, while two others planned to get over. We had fixed the electric light wires so that we could quickly short-circuit them. This was to be done exactly at 10:30 o’clock, when every man was ready to ‘go. “I will tell the name of only one of the officers, as 1 do not know the fate of the others. He was Corporal Harold B. Willis of Boston, a mem- ber of the Lafayette Escadrille. He was one of those who were to dash through the gate, and he and I had a rendezvous two miles from camp. ““When the lights were extinguished by the short-circuiting, we forced the bars as quietly as possible, and ran out the two markers strapped to- gether, and darkened with shoe-black. ing as much as possible in the short time we had. There was no moon but the sky was clear. “One of the window bars stuck, and we made considerable noise foreing it, but it didn't take us long to start the risky trip to the top of the fence. I got outside all right, but there wére gurards both to my right There were no protecting bullets whistling about me. “I met Willis at the rendezvous and we set out southwest. We travelied at night, slept in the day and lived on raw vegetables we took from gar- dens. At last we reached the Rhine at a point between Schaffhausen and Basle. “We found that at every place where we might approach the bank it was thoroughly guarded. We de- cided then to find a creek if possible and walk down it until we struck the Rhine. The current in the ome we found was very swift and the water cold. Willis had just taken off most of his clothes for the plunge into the Rhine, when ha was swept away by the current which at that point moved about twelve kilometers an hour. “It was an awful trip in the cold water with eddles swishing me around, and at one time I turned on my back to float as long as possible. It seemed that it was impossible to bring that bank any closer with my waning strength. Finally I was for- tunate enough to be caught in an eddy that swept me to the shore. “When able to walk I found a farm house and was warmly welcomed by the Swiss peasants. I told them of ‘Willis and asked them to send some- one down the bank to look for him. A short distance down the road the peasant met one of his neighbors who had come to look for me. Willis had landed much the same as I had, was treated as I had been by another peasant and had sent a messenger for me just as I had for him. Willis went to Franee and I assume has joined his command by this time.” Bx-Pres. Taft, Fox's theater, Dec. 16, —advt. BABY SUFFERED SIX MONTHS With Eczema Back of Ear. Could Not Sleep.

Sample Bach Pree "‘-.“- rens g S B etk e Hartford, Nov. 27..—Connecticut is prepared for a recruiting campaign | § for the United States Boys’ Working Reserve to begin January 20, accord- to an announcement by W. D. Hood, Federal Director for Connecticut of the Reserve. Similar drives for re- cruits will be instituted at the same | period throughout the country. Hood said that the purpose of the | campaign in Connecticut, as elsewhere was to provide additional farm labor against the food shortage now faced by the world. Plans will be an- nounced later. “‘Although peace seems certain, the world today faces the most alarming food shortage Hood. “In America this shortage is due almost entirely to a lack of farm labor. According to present esti- mates ,starvation will overtake many parts of Europe unless the United States can produce a maximum amount of foodstuffs in 1919. The full development of the United States Boys' Working Reserve as a source of farm labor is therefore more import- ant to the nation than ever before, as it is one of the chief mediums of sup- ply for a sorely nceded farm labor.” Mr. Hood added that in Connecticut plans were under way by which he hoped and expected to Thave 2,000 boys available for labor next summer. He pointed out that the agricultur- ists of the United States were a unit on the importance of continuing the United States Boys Work- ing Reserve as a peace time organi- zation. This was indicated by the “Appeal to the American People” just made by the National Board of Farm Organizations, representing practi cally every farmer in the country. In its statement regarding farm labor conditions, with recommendations as to overcoming the present shortage of farm help the National Board rec- ommended the intensive training of boys in accordance with the plans of the United States Boys' Working Re- serve. It was also pointed out by Mr. Hood that the economic worth of the Unit- ed Boys" Working Reserve was indi- cated in a report published by the In- diana, State Council of Defense, which stated that during the vacation sea- son Jast summer Indiana members of the Reserve earned $1,111,722 pro- ducing food and munitions. Reports verified by employers indicated that 4,323 boys raised enough food to feed 13,600 soldlers for one year, and 8,- 5 Reserve boys worked a total of 673,107 days. Advertised Letters.

The former chancellor refers to the Bavarian revelations regarding the war's origin and protests against the publication of fragmentary extracts from documents and the deductions made from these. He admits Ger- many was not surprised at Austria’s action regarding Serbia, but declares he was not aware of the text of the von | ultimatum before it was dispatched, and when he saw it he regarded it as too sharp, both in its tone and as to the demands made. The former chancellor says he is anxiously awaiting the day when his case may be judged by an impartial governmental tribunal. “We will admit our errors,” he adds, “but will now allow ourselves to be forced to make untrue confes- sions.” Ex-Pres.

DR. CLINTON J. HYDE. ARE YOU BOUND fOR THE SCRAF HEAP? Let me save you from the scrap heap ! “Doctor, I am not sick, but I don’t feel right.” That is what many say to me when they come to ses me the first time. And that just expresses it. You are not sick enough to go to bed. You can eat, you can sleep, you can work. But you don’t work with the vim and zest of former days. Your sleep {s not restful, and you don’t enjoy your food as you once did. And your nerves get theé best of you. Things bother you, ruffle you, that you never noticed before. You begin to see dif- ficulties where there really are none. Trifles worry you, and not having enough troubles of your own, you borrow some. Of course. to a casual observer, you seem the same, because you are try- ing to control yourself. And if you should tell a friend, or go to an in- experienced doctor, they will tell you you only imagine things; you should shake it off. You begin to doubt your- self. You sometimes think they are right and try to brace up and be bright and cheerful. But then your old feeling will come back with re: newed vigor. You begin to wonder if it really is your mind only. And if it is so, is it the first step to insan- ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor- turing you; you are trying your best to fight them down, to appear happy, but in vain. You find yourself in the grip of an invisible power that seems to sap your life blood. And when you feel your strength energy and power slipping away from you, when you find you can’t do jus- tice to your work any longer, then you become despondent and might even feel tempted to end it all. You are very much in the same condition as a delicately constructed engine, which has not been cared for right. Put it in the hands of an ex- perienced man and he will soon have | it in fine working order. But trying your own hand at it, or turn it over to an unskilled person, and it will soon be fit for the scrap heap. DR. CLINTON J. HYDE The Hartford Specialist, 873 ASYLUM ST., COR.
