shows how foolish it is to believe a
German.^ None of us bad any doubt
but what tlie serum was poisonous.
The second day that we were fn the
regular camp* tin* Germans strung
‘barbed wire all 'around-our barracks
They told ns-we hud a case of black
typhus-among us. This,was nothing
niuiv»mU' lessThrrn ndiHiff, for riot fin<* j
of tis had typhus, but they put up the
wire, jnwWttrrrcFTTT at d we were not
r^TTEoweflTd go onf.' ^
One day when 1 was loafing around
our barracks doot and not having any
thing particularly Important to do, I
1 mcked a nice hard snowhaTTand land-
_ed iF.neatly behind the ear of a little
.sentry not far away. .When tye looked
around he did not blowvhis whistleJmt
began hunting-for the thrower.’ This
was strange in a Gem-fan sentry and I
thought he must be pretty good stutT.
When he looked around* however, alt
he saw was a man staggering around
-as if he vtere drunk. The man was
. the tine.who had done the throwing, all
right, but tl..r sentryyeoulil not be sure
of it. for surely no man would stay
out in lhe open and invite accidents
like that. But still, who hud done it?
So I just kept staggering around,
. and The sentry came up to me and
looked me over prVtty-haru. Then 1
thought for the first time rhnt things
might -go Hih»4- orr me. hut 1 ""'figured
that if I quit the play acting it would

While 1 was Working at the hos.
pital conditions at my old barracks
had been getting worse and worse.
Very few of the men were absolutely
right - In the head, I guess, and dfrno-j
all had given up hope of ever getting
out .dive*;**Though they, putnpn -grmil
front to the lluns, they really did not
care a great deal what happened to
his whistling yet, so Slim looked to he them. The only thing to think about
the right name for him,
-, ./‘Slim, what’s that big "cupboard
for?’’. ' ■ *- - ■ *
“Ilow’d I know? Nuthin’ In it.”
‘‘Slim, that would make a fine box
for coal or wood, wouldn’t It?’’ 1 *
“Una. Whar de coal an’ wood?”
“I’m going put and take observa
tions, Slim. Take the wheel while I’m
gone, and keep- your eye peeled for
U-boats.” So I sneakedo-out the* door
and began looking around. ,M "

That did the trick. The black bu>
would watch from the hospital win
dows until he saw the coast was clear,
then we would- slip into the barracks
next door, and he would watch again.
When there wus no sentry near
enough to hear us, crash! and out
would .come a dividing huard from the
buqRs. When we had an armful
apiece, uniTTitul broken them up to the

But he v was so surprised- that all he
could do was stare. So I stared hack,
pretendlng_lhnt I saw two of him. and
otherwise acting foolish. Then I guess
he realized for the first time that the
chances of anybody being drunk in
that camp were'small—at least for the
prisoners. He. was rubbing His ear
;il! the time, but finally the thought
seeped through the ivory and he begun

Later on.-our men told me they used
to watch the smoke that poured from
the hospital chimney all the time and

hospital that was served iu the other
barracks, and I would not "Have had

somehow it seemed to me that they
must have had a drag. Every once in
a while I saw whut looked likf 4 vege

told Slim, or Kate, us I was calling him
by then, and with him on guard, I

After two or three falge starts, I got
over our barbed wire and their barbed
wire, and lu through a window.
There l suw carrots! 1 And graham

I took all I could carry* to divide up
with Kate, and then started eating,
so as not to waste anything. It was
certainly some feasi-'-the .only thing
besides mud bread find barley coffee
and “shadow” soup that I hud to eat
in Germany. Then I started .back to
the hospitul. I got orver their barbed
twenty-eight rations to us, which was
not quite three loaves of bread. . We
were that much ahead that day, hut It
would not work when I tried the trick
again.
One day a German doctor came to

there w’ere just two wallops: the
board ^hit the Australian’s head and
the head hit the floor. Then half a

patients had little cards attached to

When the German wanted to see these

Then I thought it was a frame-up
and that he was getting even with me,
hut I was in for it then, and the best
I could do was to go through with It.
But I was all in when we reached the
hospital. The first thlng_I saw when
wA got in -the door was..another negnf,
also from Barbadoes.-and as tall and
i thin as J4nt-Had once been short and.
; fat. This black—boy and I made a
| great team, but I never knew what
his name was. I always called him
Kate, because night and day he^was.

up, and Jhen asked where the coal or
wood was. This got a great laugh. It
And, of course, when it.was verboteri,
jhe wanted to see him all the more.
A day or two after the order I was
standing butside th^ barracks door
when I saw this fellow come out with
a-di viding board in his hand. I thought
he was going to smash somebody with
it, so I stood by. But he-stooped over
and jammed one end of the board
against the threshold of the door,
scratched thrr/ground with the further
end ol the hoard and measured again.
He kept this up, length by length. In
the direction of the Russian barracks.
The sentry in the yard stopped and
Stared at him. hut the fellow kept
right on, paying no attention to any
body. Pretty soon.be was right by the
■sentry’s feet and I thought any minute
the sentry would give him the butt,
but he just stared a while and let him
pass. Thqt lad measured .the whole
distance to the Russian barracks, went
inrtide, stayed a while and calirflv
wire ail right, and Kate gave me. the strolled hack with the hoard tinder his
go-ahead for our entanglements, -but
just as I was going over them a sentry
^nabbed me. At first I thought. Kate
mid turned traitor, because, we had
hfid a little argument a short time be
fore.
But later on I figured that he would
not. have done a trick like; that, and
besides, lie knew I*was bringing him
something to eat. So the sentry must
have sneaked up without Kate seeing

arm. When he'retiched our barrack^
again he told us be had found a vino
mine. What he bad found "was some
thing not so unusual—a bonehended
German. ;
There was a lot of bamboo‘nenr the
Russian 'banrjfeks and the Russians
made baskefs out of it. and' turned
them in to the Germans*. For (his they
got all the-good jobs in the kitchen
and had^jj fine chanbe to get more to
eat. Rut they w. re treated Itke dogW-
emy would do; By*

not' thfuk t»
questions, jmd I did tmt^jfiiMn- any am—
else talk about Tt, but I pndty
sure the.two men,, n Russian and a
Britisher, bad eseaped. But they were
nwt'rked present at roll call and all
accounted for. Everything went ttlong
vef*y well nntit one day when tl?.* name
"Fontaine" apt by without being .an
swered. Fontaine was a French-fire
man front the Canfbrinri Range and
tlijti wjts the first time he had not been
present. We saw what was coming
trtid we began to get pretty sore at
Fontaine for not telling us. so we could
answer for him and keep the escape
covered.
The minute they found oqr count
one short they blew the#whlstles und
a squad of sentries-earne up as an
extra guard. They.counted us again,
hut by sneaking back of the line and
closing up again-we tirade tlie count
all right except for one man—Fon-
taine* We wbuld have tried to cover
up for him. except that they had al
ready discovered his absence. Now,
we thought, they will nab Fontaine
hut will not discover the escape of the
others.
But evidently they suspeeted some
thing. for soon they brought over a
petty officer from H. M. Sr Nomad,
who had not been with us before, and
forced film to call tlie roll from the
mustering papers, while they watched
the men as they answered Then they
discovered that two more besides Fon
taine were missing and began to search
for them.
The other two spoke German and
had been missing for at least three
days and. I think, had escaped by this
time. They, were not returned while
I was at Brandenburg.
This was about \ a. m. They drilled
tis down to the little lake, where the
cold was niuA greater, and kept us
there until 5 p. m.. without food or
drink. At alxiut eight that morning
they found Fontaine in a French bar
racks and kicked him all the way to
the lake where we were.
All day long we stood there, falling
one by one und getting kicked or beut-
en each time dfatll we dragged our
selves up again. Two or three died—
I do not know the exact number. But
we had enough strength, when ordered
hack to the barracks, to kick Fon
taine ahead of us all the way. We
did not get anything to eat until seven
the next' morning—twenty-four hours
without food and water, ten.of which
were Spent' In the snow without any
protection from the cold and wind.
No wonder we kicked Fontaine for
bringing this punishment on us and en
dangering the two who had escaped—
he had simply strolled over to the
French barracks and forgot to return.
Now," the food received was Just
about enough to keep us alive. I sup
pose, with true kultur, the Huns had
•figured out just how much it wbuld
take to keep a man on this side of
the starvation line and gave us that
much nnd no more. So we were always
famished-—always hungrier than you
probably ever have Peek. But some
times when we were ravenously hun
gry and could not hold out any longer
Vve would trade rtitlons.

One man would trade his whole ra

that you thought you could not last j

would tell someone else that if he gave
you half hkt share t/wlay you would

That is, he would gatuble, on his being
alive tomorrow, riot on your keeping
