By FREDERICK MAXWELL. (Copyright By Frederick Maxwell). Through the representative of the Belgian government secretly installed | in Brussels, T received, in the middle of 1918 a request that I should ar- range as far as possible for compe- tent officers and men whom I aided to escape from the Germans to re- main behind the German lines for the purpose of picking up what informa- tion they could about the dispositions of the Germans to cover their r treat from Flanders and to report their cbservations to the British head- quarte through the air couriers who were then pa ng between dif- ferent parts of Belgium and the Al- lied lines. We got to work at once on broposal, and in a few weeks' time we had the country overrun with Brit- ish and French officers and men who knew low to make use of their eyes and rs. So thoroughly was the work done by these men in co-opera- tion with the aerial couriers that be- fore long there was hardly a move- ment of the enemy that was not re- ported within a few hours to the Al- lied Leadquarte For instance, Britisl: officer who w: the first to discover the German evacuation of the Flunders coast, and less than an hour after the first German moved out of Zeebrugge the information had been given to an airman who w speeding on his way to headquarters with this news. It was the intention of the Germans to carry out the evacuation by slow stages extending over three months, and had the original plans been ad- hered to, the Flanders coast would not have been free Deceniber. As it was, the timely dis- covery of the German plans them to it also compelled them to hind eat quantities of store they had intended to take away. It was not merely that the Brit- ish fleet was menacing the garrison from the seas, and there was ) expectation of a landing. The Allies concentrated a powerful aerial force along the railways and roads, by this it was a released which the Germans were carrying out | the evacuation, and these airmen, who | were in possession of the most ac- curate information, were able to harass the enemy in such a fashion that all idea of orderly and systema- tic withdrawal had to be abandoned. T was an eye-witness of one stage of that withdrawal about the time when I was working in the Cambrai region. I had gone to Bruges osten- sibly in connection with the work of feceding the civil population. When T got there I found the whole town in an uproar. Allied airmen were over the railway station, and a num- ber of bombs had been dropped, caus- ing fires, and wrecking a number of trains that had been passing through the station on their way towards Germany. Panic-Stricken Troops. The roads leading into and out of the town were littered with wreck- age, and long lines of motor lorries were held up, the drivers having abandoned their charge in face of the persistent attacks of the Allied air- men. Panic had seized the troops, who had been marching in to entrain for other parts of the front, and all semblance of order had been aban- doned. The soldiers had broken ranks, and were in hiding wherever they could get the appearance of shelter. Large numbers had been killed by the bombs, and when the Allied airmen came low and used machine guns the panic and slaughter became worse than ever. I saw a battalion of Ger- man infantry on the march. They had just reached the cross roads be- tween Bruges and Ghent, when the Allied airmen arrived. The men were terror-stricken at the sight of the airplanes, and before they could scamper for shelter the bombs were dropping in quick succession, and the ground was thickly carpeted with dead and dying. One German officer who sought safely in the doorway beside me ex- claimed in an excess of terror, “What is the use of going on? Only death awaits us. The more British and French we defeat the more there seem to be of them. Germany ought to have given up the struggle long ago. We cannot fight a world.” The men under him were equally depressed, and refused to be rallied when their officer in half-hearted fashion tried to reform the ranks‘ L saw the Germans break aw: and scamper across the fields in terror. The airplanes were then flying very low, and the machine guns were being used pitilessly. Great gaps were cut in the ranks of the German infantry. T saw about half a battalion of the Germans march along the road until they were attacked by two airmen with their machine guns. One of the airmen was Major Mannock, who was killed only a few days later. These airmen flew so low over the Germans that they could have reached out their hands, and touched the heads of the Germans. They sprayed the half-column of Huns with bullets un- I til they were practically all wiped out.

At that time he was probably better known by sight in Belgium than in Britain or rance, and the amazing thing is that the Germans never appeared to recog- nize him. over the Mannock flew repeatedly district around Brussels. We had no difficulty in recognizing his machine by iss markings, and we had the ut- most admiration for this daring offi- cer. Once I saw him land at the im- provised landing place not far from Brussels used by the Allied air cour- iers. It was about a month or six weeks before his death. I suggested to him that the work he was cn- saged in was dangerous. “Just a little,” he replied, “‘but so much as you might think. its points.” What are they?” I asked “Oh,” was the reply., “you get plenty of fun, plenty of excitement, and there is alv the feeling that you are cheating death.” Maunnock certainly cheated more than any man I know his greatest achievement rection was in the summer of last car; between Ghent and Bruge: There had been a British intelliger officer in the neighborhood in hiding for about three weeks.

These were anxious days indeed, for the Germans were very inquisitive, and made a number of vis house in search of unauthorized per- sons. On the second night troops were left in the house to keep watch, and it was a source of anxiety to me when I reflected that at any minute might come to the house. 1 dared not go out to warn him. for 1 did not know how much the Ger- knew or suspected, and any move I made might have the effect ot putting them on their guard. That night I waited in with anxiety bordering on terror. About nine o'clock I saw Mannock coming along from Ghent. He did not appear to anything, and in a few min- utes he must be seen by the Germans. I was at first impelled to rush out to warn him, regardless of what might be my own fate, but I realized on re- flection that this might mean the de- feat of the end I had in view. I waited anxiously, and saw Mannock come close up to the gate. So far he had not been seen by the Germans, but I could not say how long his im- munity from detection was likely to last. Suddenly to my great relief he turned and walked back along the road by which he had come. After- wards I learned that he had seen the Germans, had guessed what it all meant, and had gone back rather than run the risk of incriminating any of us. The next day the soldiers went away, the officer telling me that he was disgusted with the authorities at Brussels, who had ordered him out on this fruitless task. On the fol- lowing night the British intelligence officer arrived at the house, and about 11 o'clock I set out to take him to the sccret landing place, where Man- nock was to be in readiness for him. We had not gone far before we heard the unmistakable sounds of in- fantry on the march, and very short- ly we made out the column, about 200 men altogether. ‘We got off the main road as quickly as we could, and sought refuge in the woods, only reaching shelter just in time. The soldiers passed close by the tree behind which we lay in hiding, and marched down the road in the direction of the clearing where we expected Mannock to be. When the Germans had got out of sight we hu ried on our way, realizing now that there was very great danger if we could not reach Mannock by him- self, and in the background, near some trees, we saw his machine. We had taken a near cut through the woods and had got ahead of the marching troops, but we were not far enough in front to be quite safe. The British officer got aboard, and Mannock was preparing to rise into the air, when we heard sounds that could not be misunderstod. The Germans had arrived again, and they signalized their arrival by opening fire with rifles at close range. we a suffered )also if I | just the chance that I I thought at first Mannock was hit, ! and the Germans were evidently of the same opinion, for the officer in charge of the leading men shouted out words to that effect and called on his men to come on.
