And the answer may depend upon a choice of language. A German spy in a Ike case, having a Berlitz equipment in English may say, “Pray do not shoot, for Iam an American soldier’—but the English is too good and it makes the machine guns angry. Bunt knew that well enough, and so as he ap- Proached the guns, what he called out was this: “For the love of Mike, have a beart—I'm no sausage.” So Bunt survived, kidded the Red Cross nurses for a few pleasant weeks, then came back to America and this morning told an Evening World reporter ono of the best stories of German prison camps and escape therefrom that has come out since the, @elebrated story of Lieut, Pat OBrien. Incidentally Bunt was con- fined for a while in the very cell that | O'Brien occupied and he read O'Brien's diary scratched on the wall. Bunt went over with the first lot bt U. .

This was a mis- take, What he found was an am- munition train loading. So he helped load and then got on the train, figuring that the train would go to the front. It did Bunt got off and walked into the woods. He came to the River Oine, kicked off his boots and swam. The rmans fired at him, but missed. Then the Americans from the other side began shooting and the bullets came fearfully clo It was then that Bunt appealed to the universal affec- tion for Mike, came up out of the river and shook hands, But he was all in. They sent him to « hospital, where he had real food for the first time in many weeks. Presently his strength was sufficient He guesses he'll go to France again —if the war lasts long enough. | ee .
