On_the morning of November 10 a civiliin ‘official’ came to the auto truck factory where we were working at Russelsheim and told us that, in all probability, the armistice would b signed om the following day, as it was. Mo instructed us that thereaf- ter we owed no allegiance to represen- fttives of the kaisers government, ‘which incinded our guards, and that we were to take orders only from representatives of the revolutionary ment, with which he was iden He instructed us that on the rrow we would be camps from which t mefant “What he told was received with © W' 4 been hearing for days we came.

At night when the French prisoners were walking up and down their enclosure enjoying | their smokes, we would follow, like dogs, along behind them on our side of the fence, waitng for them to cast away a cigarette butt. The quickest | man on our side got it—if it fell within reach. And after a while it got to be a common practice among our men to steal out of the bunkhousc at 3.30 in the morning, or at the first sign of the ight of day, to search along the edze of the French encios- ure for the preclous butts. Frequent- Iy we'd get them by reaching through the wire. “T never thought at home that 1'd become a butt-hunter, but here I was competing with all my energy for a butt or two that would give me a PUft or two. And if T got four buits ahead, how carefully T would preserve | them, forcing myselt to smoke as lit- | tle as possible.
