Late that night we arrived at Dul- men, Westphalia. We were rousted out of the carriages, mustered on the platform, counted, then drilled through the streets. In spite of the latenessrT the streets were pretty well filled with people, and they zig-zagged us through all the streets they could, so that all the people would have a chance to see days. They thought nothing of pick ing a fight, with a sentry and giving him a good battle, even though he was armed with rifle and bayonet. We soon learned that unless his pals are around a German will not stand by his arguments with his fists.

I asked what was the trouble and he explained that u flew comer was picking a fight with the boys. “Whnt did you do?” I asked. “Well,” replied Arthur, “I’d have, hit him If It hadn’t been for his strength- fulness!”—Chicago Tribune. as they saw. us .coming, they begun singing the. “Watch on the Rhine” or some other Germnu song, and it .was funny to see window’s opening and fat fraus, with night-caps on, sticking their heads out of the windows. They would gtve us a quick once-ovor, and plpd up like a boatswain: “Scfiweln- hund—Vaterland—Wacht am Rhein” So we gave them “Tipperary’' and “Pack Up ^ Your Troubles,” and showed them how to sjng. Our guards wandering around the Russian bar racks, hunting for rotten potato peel ings and other garbage, which they would eat. When they saw Fritz throw out his swill, they would dive right through the barbed wire^ one After another, and their hands and face and clothes were always torn from it. It was unhealthy to stand other times trying to pick a fight. It was all one t> me: I fust wanted some thing to do. I found what I wanted, all right I had quite a talk with a sentry in front' of a barracks. It must bare lasted three-quarters of an hour, file did not know what I was calling him, and I did not know what he was call ing me. I could have handled him all right, but another sentry carfie up on my blind side and'grabbed me and the talk was over. They dragged me to the commander of the camp and he instructed them to give me a bath. So they took me to the bathhouse, where I was, stripped, and lushed. All the time they were whipping me I was thinking what a joke it was on me, because I had been looking for excitement and had got more than I wanted, so I laughed and the Huns thought I was crazy sure. I was dumped into a vat of hot water nnrrvjit the same time ray clothes were given a boiling, which was good for them. Then I was forced into ' my wet clothes and marched back to the bar-, racks. This bath and the stroll through the snow In wet clothes Just about did for me. Nowadays, when I sit iniA draft for a aecqnd and catch cold, I wonder that I am still alive to catch It.

They ft It they had some thing better to look forward to and 7 some relief from the awful misery. Mr. Gerard was passing through the French barracks and a man I knew there told him there was an American there. The Germans did not want him to see me, but he put up an argument with the commanding dffleer and they finally said he could interview me. I never was so glad to see anyone as I was to see him. The picture Is still with me of him-coming, in the door.

Juslt Think what good news that was to me! They let me out of the guardhouse and« I celebrated by doing all the dam age to German sentries that I could do. The men in the camps went wild when they learned that Ambassador Gerard was there, for they said lie was the only man In Germany they could tell their troubles to. - -Theuceason was that he was strodg for the men, no matter what nationality, and put his heart into the work.

Then, after we had admitted to each other that we were not downhearted, we shut up. We would have done so, anyway, be cause by this time we were on the out skirts of the town, and we needed all the breath we had. The road we were on was Just one long sheet of Ice, and we could hurdly walk more than four steps without slipping and falliug. My shoes had wooden soles, and It was Just one bang after another, with the ice and myself trying, to see which tould hit the hardest. Every time we fell—smash! came a rifle over the back. I was getting pretty tired, so I said to some of the fellows that I was go ing to sit down and rest, and they said they would also. So we dropped out and waited until the guards behind had just about caught up with us, and then we would go on. We did this several times until they got on to us, and we could not do it any more. Up the roud a piece I fell again, and tills time I did not care what>-hap- pened, so I Just sat there in the middle of the road until Fritz came up. Instead of giving me the bayonet, he tnude me take off my shoes—thAt is, he took them off Of me with a knife through the strings—and I had to walk the /est of the way In my bare feet. It was about four miles altogether from the station to the camp. When we got near the camp, all the boys came out of the barracks and lined up along the barbed wire, and yelled us a welcome. We asked them if they Mere downhearted, and they said no, and we said we were not eith er. We could hardly see them, but they began yelling again when we got nearer, and asked us, “Is there anyone there from Queenstown?" arid then Hull, and Portsmouth, and Dover, and Toronto and a lot of other places. I did not pay much attention until I heard, “Any Americans there?" and I yelled back^—i^Yes, where are you?” “Barracks 6-B, Gruppe 3." and saw an Australian arguing with the sentry. I was not only curious, but anxious to be* a good citizen, as they say, so I went up and slung an ear at them. The Australian had asked Fritz what had been done with the flag that the Huns were going to fly ffom the Eiffel tower In Paris. That was too deep for Fritz, so the Australian answered it himself. “Don’t you know, Fritz? Well, we have no blankets, you kn<Av.” Still the sentry did not get it.

I went over and laid down with him, anti we had quite a talk. T will not give his name here for certain reasons. He had received several wounds at the" time he was- taken prisoner. ;He had been in fhe Canadian service for two years. We used to talk about New York and Boston and the differ ent places we knew in both towns, and we also talked a lot about the gotten treatment we were receiving, and tided to cook up some plan of escape. But every one we could think of had been used by some one else, and either, had failed, or the Hans had fixed It so the plan could not be tried again. - Wd doped out some pretty wild schemas at that. Altogether, we became great pals, and were together as much ns me—so that Fritz could hear—that the Germans had no blankets and were using the flug to wrap their.cold feet In. This started a fight, of course—the German Idea of a fight, that is. The sentry, being a very brave man for a German, blew his whistle very loudly, and sentries came from all directions. So we beat It to the Australian’s bar racks, and there I found the second American in the camp. He was a bar ber named Stimson, from one of the Western states. He had heard I was there aswell as the Boston man in the Canadian -service, but he had been too sick to look us up, and in fact did not care what happened, he was so miserable. He had been wounded sev eral times, and died In a day or two. I never knew how he came to be in the Australian service. Those two and myself were the only Americans I knew of In this prison camp—whether in Canadian. Austra lian or French service. The other two had been captured in uniform, so there was no chance of their being released. 4 Dulmen was very near the Dutch border and as It was quite easy to get out of the camp attempts at escape were frequent. Most of those who ran away were brought back, though. The Germans-were so easy on those who tried to run away that I almost thought they were encouraging - them. One chap was doing his-ten days In the guardhouse for the sixth time -while l was there—that is. he had Just, about completed his period of detention. He claimed that the sixth time he had really got across the border and was arrested In a little town by the Dutch authorities and turned over to the Ger mans. That Is against the law In most countries, but he swore it was the truth. I am not so sure, myself. He got away for the seventh time while I was at Dulmen and was not returned. Ten days In the guardhouse is not such a light punishment after, all, be cause water three times a dayls all the prisoner received during that time, but it Is pretty mild compared to some of the things the Huns do. One morning I ..thought for sure I was going oafard.' I tins’just fed up on the whole business and sick of do ing nothing but suffer. So I strolled along, sticking my head into barracks doors, sometimes trying to have a talk. There were q]1 the diseases you can think of in .this camp, including black cholera and typhus and somebody ‘way always dying. We had to make coffins from any wood we could find. So It was not long before we were using the dividing boards from'OUT'hunks. pTeccs of flooring and. In fact, the Walls of the barracks. The officers were quar tered in corrugated iron barracks, so they had to borrow wood from us for their coffins. We would*make the box and put the body in It,-give it as much service as we could, In the way of prayers and hymns, and put it ftway hi a hole near the barracks. There was so much .of It that a single death pasted unnoticed. One morning the German sentries came to our barracks—they never came singly—and told us that an offi cer was going to review the prisoners and ordered us to muster up, which we did. I was the lust man out of the bar racks and on accdunt of ray wounds I was slower than the rest. You understand I had had no medical bread house and the guard at the door tripped - me. When i foil I hurt my LOOK wounds, which made me hot. .Now,- X : the best thing to do was to jpe.' good, since I was expecting to be released, and I thought it would be rough luck to be killed just before I'was to be released. But I had been in the Amer ican navy and any garb.v of the U. S. A. would have done What I did. It must be the training we get. for w r hgn a dirty trick is pulled off on us we get very nervous around the hands and are not always able to control thenf. So I went for the sentry and wal loped him in the Jaw. Then I received his bayonet-through the fleshy part of the forearm. Most bayonet wounds that we e<>t were in the arm. But AT TONGUE!

So it was' all I could do to drag my self along. The officer noticed that I was out of fine and immediately asked my name and nationality. When he heard “American” he could not say enough thing*' about us and called me all the swlce names he could think of. I was pretty thin at this time and getting thinner, so I figured I might Just as w’ell have it out before I starved. Besides. I thought, he ought to know that we are not used to being bawled out by German swine in this country. So I told him so. And I said that he should n?t bawl Americans out, be cause America was neutral. He then said that as America supplied food and munitions to ilhe allies she was no bet ter than the r tst. Then I snidT “Do you remember the Deutschlard? When she entered Bal timore and Ne 1 1 London she got all the cargo sha uant ed, didn’t she?” > “Yes.” "Well, it you send over your mer chant marine tl ey will get the same.” For that answer he gave me ten days in the guardhouse.
